"Um?" Alice could only whisper, noticing that Vlad's hand seemed to resist letting go.
And Vlad, visibly taken aback by the occurrences, simply drew back his arm and stretched the back of his head in acknowledgment, embarrassed by his actions.
"Yeah, nice to meet you… Alice", he smiled and started walking back.
"Were you off too?" she asked a question, her body seeming to follow his retreat.
"Now, I'm beginning to doubt your clam on… not stocking me".
She laughed, and so he did.
"I'm just taking a walk. Nothings more pleasant than clearing your head".
"So, you're bored?"
He laughed hearing her words, as she only giggled.
"I'll join you"
"Huh?" He was visibly confused.
His thoughts were screaming to refuse her request, but she was beautiful, how could he? Why would he do that?
"You sure?" His face frowned outly, "You don't even know me," he questioned, "what if I kidnap you? What then?"
His pace was visibly shaken, as he stopped walking forward and looked back at her visibly shorter figure.
"How do you know I'm not a creep?" He grinned mischievously.
She locked eyes with him, her smile still lingering on her lips. Showing her whitely coloured teeth.
"Ohh… how naïve of you, Ser Vlad," she spoke, in a foreign accent, "Thou art no creep, for that title belongs to me alone."
Vlad sighed loudly. His head shaking slightly as a smile rolled in.
"Game of thrones?" He asked, smile growing larger.
"Thought I wouldn't notice?" she said. Giggling slightly, causing Vlad to also shear the same expression.
"So you read?" He questioned, Voice sounding more like a statement "But you weren't even there when I used that style of speech, so you really are a creep".
"Don't get ahead of yourself," she spoke softly, "I only knew because roomers travel quickly. All it takes is for a short, good looking 17-year-old to shout 'he has stolen you!' to get the word. And apparently they call you a leprechaun".
They both laughed.
"You think it's funny?" He questioned, his voice hinting the acknowledgment that it was only a tease.
"No", she said, for some reason moving closer to his standing figure with each passing second, "just angry you stole my title"
He laughed almost too much.
How long has it been since he laughed this much?
How long has he giggled without relying on the comfort of his own jokes?
He truly didn't know.
"So ser Vlad", she moved her arm and interlocked it with his, "make it up to me".
His eyes only widened as he saw this.
"Women?" He whispered to her now, almost face close ear, "I don't even know you".
"All it takes is ice cream, ser Vlad", she insisted. Her face now slightly tilted upward, eyes turned to one's of puppies, something Vlad now released to be his biggest weakness.
So she dragged him away without even asking for a response.
And Vlad only sighed at her actions, perhaps now accepting his fate.
Accepting that his fate was truly at the hands of the Gods.

"So, you also paint?" She was stunned by his words.
"It's not really painting if you do it occasionally," he finished the last drops of his ice cream, "just… practice"
"Show me?" She demanded, her eyes locked and her smile still retaining its presence.
"I would, but I stay alone", he spoke, his eyes now landing on her untouched cone of ice. "And you never know what might happen if you leave a '17-year-old' with a girl", he grinned.
She only clicked her tongue.
"I trust you", and he laughed at her words.
"Yeah". He didn't believe what she had spoken, "by the way, you gonna eat that?"
She looked done at her hands.
"Take it".
"Na, I don't want it"
"Why?" Her eyes changed instantly, mimicking what Vlad had hoped they wouldn't.
"I don't take food from strangers", he replied, his body leaning back on the chair he was sitting on.
They were in an ice cream shop. So they both set in opposite chairs that opposed each other.
"Okay, hold it", she pushed the ice cream forward, right next to his figure.
"I'm Alice Cullen. I love painting, reading and time draining activities. I love fashion. Move like a dancer and drive like a maniac, "she was thoughtful for a while, "or that's at least what I'm told and Hm? I'm not really fond of sitting still."
She smiled at him, "oh… forgot one thing"
He looked at her smiling expression, as if knowing what was to come.
"I am hopelessly in love with you".
He was slightly shaken by her words, but later on dismissed it as a joke. Only laughing and shaking his head.
"Okay, Mrs Cullen" he picked up the now neared cone of ice cream. "You win".
Then he ate it with swift.
And before time could take its toll, he was done.
She giggled, "So, you are also taking me to your house?"
"Nope", he laughed, "An introduction isn't enough to trap me, creep".
But she only pouted at his sentence, as if disappointed but slightly expecting it.
________
"Describe yourself", she suddenly asked. Her figure walking too close to his, but her expression still holding untainted curiosity.
"Funny, funny and funny", he laughed loudly, but she only sighed in anger, or at least an attempt at one.
"Your past? Your dreams? You ain't going to tell me anything, are you?"
"Nope" was his only reply, as he noticed that a black Porsche parked in the direction they were heading.
"Please tell me you are the only person in school who has this type of car" he couldn't help but grow worried as he covered his face and exhaled loudly. His words sounding like loudly exaggerated cries.
Alice only laughed at his display of emotion.
"Nope", she said in giggles, "it's about 20 if I'm right". She took out her keys and pressed its button. And immediately, as if awaiting her command, the engine automatically started, as if the car was warming itself up.
But her words didn't do anything to warm the uneasiness he fumed his brain.
"Want a ride", she asked, moving her figure and opening the door to enter.
"Nope", he turned back to leave.
And Alice, seeing him retreat, didn't call him back or protect against his actions, she just laughed faintly and giggled.
"See you at school, ser Vlad!" She got in her car and drove off.
Leaving Vlad, who was walking in the opposite, to smile in response.
Shaking his head and walking in retreat.
Leaving a parking lot that once held monsters.
That once had immortals standing on its grounds.
Leaving it all alone to witness their separation.
Or only their beginning.
