Chapter 59: The Kitchen.
~~~ [START]
{Two Weeks Later}
"You should stop using that mind thing." Alice climbed off his back, laughing, while he moved to the door.
"Well, I'm broke, so…" His hands hovered right above the handle. Then he turned back, brows lowering at the smile that embraced her lips. "Why is—"
Alice vanished, reappearing right behind him, her hand holding the door handle, and opening it.
"She wants to talk to you?" She kissed him on the cheek, then slid past him and started walking away.
Vlad sighed at the sound of his bike's engine, hands moving to his pockets, his brows frowning as she drove away.
Vlad turned toward the door, walked inside, and his eyes landed on Bella, who was sitting with both hands resting on her lap.
"So, you guys are dating?" She asked as Vlad placed his helmet on the kitchen counter.
"It's complicated." He chuckled, and a giggle escaped her lips.
"What about you," Vlad moved forward while inserting his hands into the pockets of his jeans, "and the vampire guy?"
"Also complicated." Her lower lip moved over the upper. "And aren't you like… the same thing?"
"Nope." His smile shifted, the curve around it folding in a slop.
"You scared?"
"Nope."
There was a sudden shift in the atmosphere, one that remained unnoticed.
But they were too late. It had begun.

"Don't go—"
"I won't." Leah handed the stack of dishes to Rebecca, who placed them in the sink. "Yet."
"Leah!"
"Sheesh!" Leah grabbed Rebecca's arms, her eyes turning toward the direction of the sitting room. "We both know he's too stubborn to sort this out."
"But—"
"But nothing, Rebecca." Leah's eyes widened with the words. "But nothing."
Her hands tightened around Rebecca's arms, pulling them closer to her chest.
"You don't know how it feels." Her eyes watered, tears fighting descent. "It's as if I'm losing a part of myself—"
"Rebecca." Sam approached with a dirty plate in hand. "…Leah."
Leah's face turned downward, eyes shifting to everything but him.
Rebecca shrugged Leah's hands off, took the plate from his hands, turned to the sink, and then started washing it.
"I can help you with—"
Leah stumbled back from his approach.
"If you want, I can help with the shifting phase," he said, feet now backing away. "Just think about it. The pack is big enough."
Then he left.
"You are so… cold."
"He disgusts me," she hissed. Hands grabbed more stacks of dishes, which she then handed to Rebecca.

{ELSEWHERE}
"So how is it?" Bella's legs bent, knees lifted to her face, her gaze completely turned to Vlad, who was seated on the couch opposite her, his attention fully focused on a show called 'Top Gear' he had been watching for three hours straight.
"How's what?" He slumped deeper into his seat.
"You know…" The words didn't finish.
"I mean, I'm not sure." Vlad straightened, eyes turning toward her. "It's like… It's hard to explain, but when it enters, it feels—"
"I'm not talking about sex!"
"Oh." He laughed, his eyes shifting back to the flat screen. "It's like drinking a soda."
She sent a plastic bottle flying as it slammed against his head. "I'm serious."
"Didn't Edward tell you?" His hands stretched toward her, a finger pointing at the remote, which, after a pause of a few seconds, was also sent cutting through the air. But he caught it before it reached a hair's breadth.
"He did."
"So why are you bothering me?" His left hand waved her off.
"Stop joking around. I'm serious."
He laughed when she stood up, walked over, and sat on the same sofa as him.
"I wouldn't sit here if—"
"Turn me." She cut his words off.
And he jolted upward when she finished.
"Huh?"
"Turn me into one."

{HOURS LATER}
"Then poof." Vlad stared at her, arms raised dramatically. "You get it… you die."
"So I'll burn in the sun."
"Well, it's not burning," he sighed, leaning backward. "It's more like your body realizing it doesn't have a soul. But sure, you'll burn in the sun."
"I don't believe you."
Vlad facepalmed himself, turned, and then pushed her off the couch.
Bella stayed on the floor after falling, eyes turned upward, occasionally locking with Vlad, who was staring from above his seat.
"You'll become my slave," he said, eyes turning blood red, "and your soul will be damned to spend the rest of eternity by my side in the kitchen."
"Funny." She stood up, her eyes occasionally shifting to his. "Do I also get the ability to change my eye—"
"Bella, I'm not turning you into a vampire."
