Re: Twilight Gamer ( Twilight / The Gamer )

[WhiteAuthor]

Alan's expression slowly changed to one of realisation as the thoughts went through his mind, now that he thought about it the possibility that the wolves had started attacking him only after smelling the aftermath of what had been his fight with Joanna, was indeed large.



Alice stopped for a moment as her own eyes slowly widened, the same realisation going through her own mind, and in comparison to Alan who was still not exactly sure, she had the information about what the shapeshifters of the Quilieute tribe could do.



She slowly nodded her head as she looked directly into his eyes.



"You… might just be correct about that… they do have an extremely enhanced sense of smell compared to a regular human and if they were investigating the dissapearance and they ended up at your house than… they likely think that the killer of the three teens… is you. Which would lead us to our current, situation." Alice muttered slowly, her mind almost working on overdrive as she connected the story that Alan had just told her to what could have happened, and all of the last points were indeed connection together, the likelihood of that being the case was indeed high.



The moment ended as silence took over for a moment, both of them deep in their own thoughts, Alan's were much more emotional whilst Alice's own thoughts were utterly cold emotionally, she was thinking of how she could end any and all threats that were directed towards Alan whilst Alan himself was thinking about how he could find any way to be able to clear his name, he didn't want to have enemies of an entire tribe of wolves chasing after him.



'Fucked… this is fucked, you are messing with me even in the fucking grave, you damned bitch.' Alan thought to himself as he thought back to the woman who had given him such a hard time, even leaving him with lasting effects mentally that he was only slowly starting to find out about.



"How… do we deal with this? Is there any way that you or someone else from your family could talk to them? I mean if you're both in the same territory than maybe you atleast have some basic understanding?" Alan asked carefully as he thought about it, in his own mind, this could be the best way to solve the situation however contrary to what Alan thought, the so called agreement between the Cullens and the Quileute wasn't exactly as firm as it had once been.



Alice looked at him as she finally left her thoughts before slowly shaking her head.



"No, it's not really possible, infact they may even think that we helped you in cleaning up the scene, our reputation inside of the Quileute really isn't that great. The only reason that we have a agreement in the first place is that a long time ago, Carlisle helped their ancestors with dealing with another one of our own kind. But that agreement was centuries ago now and it doesn't hold much power when they feel an instinctive danger coming from us. The stories that they tell their children have already made us out to be the big bad even though we have never truly done anything against them… so yeah… it really isn't possible to just use us to talk this out." Alice said finally as she released a long winded sigh.



It was at that moment as the two were talking that a knock was heard on the door of the room.



"Hello, It's, me, Carlisle. May I come in?" A voice on the other side of the door said, it was silky smooth and deep, clearly belonging to Carlisle who was likely standing right outside of the door.



'What? Him? Now? Did he hear?' Alan thought to himself as his mind instantly turned alarmed for a brief moment before he calmed himself down, he knew the moment that he told Alice that the rest of the Cullens would soon find out, if not about his secret then most definitely about what had happened to his home aswell as the fact that Alice had ousted the rest of them to him.



"He heard everything… right, I should have told you about that but I didn't remember at the moment. We vampires… have really good hearing… so the rest of the house heard everything we talked about aswell but you don't have to worry, no one is going to hurt you here. No one is allowed." Alice said almost instantly as soon as she saw the brief second where Alan's expression had hardened and his heart had started beating at higher speeds inside of his chest before he had forcibly calmed himself down.



"Right… yeah that would have been good to know before… but it's alright, not like they were'nt going to learn about this sooner or later, atleast this way I dont have to repeat my story over and over again." Alan muttered before looking at her and giving her a nod, a reply to her expectant eyes about what they should do about Carlisle.



Even now, Alice was going on with what Alan wanted to do, if he had shaken his head, she would not have allowed Carlisle to come inside, she would not have allowed anything that he did not want to happen. That, she could make sure of, atleast whilst she was around him.



"Yeah come in Carlisle. Door isn't locked." Alice said as she turned her head to gaze towards the door that opened almost as soon as her words had left her mouth.

The door opened slowly and inside came the blonde haired handsome man that looked like he was in his early thirties or late twenties at most and yet had lived longer than any human in existence and in history.



"My apologies for overhearing your conversation Alan, thought it's not a part that we can block out as vampires." Carlisle said softly slowly, his arms remained at his sides and he didn't make any sudden moves, maintaining a pose that was as unthreatening as possible.



Alan looked at the man standing before him at the door, he hadn't moved closer at all, and neither had he closed the door behind him, it was a textbook way of saying that he wasn't going to attack and he wasn't going to lock out his exits.



'Thought… considering their level and the fact that I can't even fully use observe on them… it doesn't really matter, if they wanted me dead at the moment… they likely could just kill me.' Alan thought to himself as he inwardly sighed whilst outwardly his expression slowly calmed down further until he almost looked relaxed in a way.



"It's… it's fine mister Carlisle. Besides, I'm sure that you would have learned about it sooner or later." Alan said as he shook his head at the man.



Carlisle waited for a moment before giving a nod of his head, the look in his eyes almost changing to something that resembled approval at how quickly Alan had managed to gather his thoughts and calm himself back down from an intrusion.



"Alright, with that aside. I believe we should all be talking about what to do about the Quileute and the fact that they attacked you. Misinformed or not, that doens't matter if they attack again, and not your house but rather you. Thats a fatal risk that we cannot overlook so whilst they are, good guys so to speak as you asked about them earlier, they are currently not someone that you should try negotiating with before atleast securing your own safety Alan." Carlisle said as he once more returned back to the main topic at hand as he slowly moved towards the side where a chair was next to Alice's desk and pulled it before turning it around and sitting down, facing the two of them. His own adoptive daughter and the boy who had been thrust inside of this world of theirs.



Alan nodded almost instantly, his expression turning more serious as he looked at Carlisle.



"You're right, my own safety comes first before anything else to me aswell. I am not someone thats naive enough to believe that this can be solved easily, and whilst they may be good guys acting on misinformation, that doesn't excuse them from what they did atleast not to me. Currently, they're hostile enemies and if they keep acting like it and they do not listen then I will treat them as such." Alan said, his voice slow so that he could carry his belief and intent through each and every word.



Alan wasn't exactly a regular human anymore, not just the obvious fact that he physically wasn't one anymore, but the fact that his mind had changed from the average person, through the harrowing experiences in real life aswell as the battles and experiences that he had inside of the systems dungeon.



Carlisle once more looked closely at Alan, waiting for any sign that he wasn't just putting up a front however he found none, Alan's eyes were steady and through them he could clearly see the will that he would follow up on his own words, whether he could achieve such a feat was still to be seen however the will to do so was clearly there.



This time the look of appreciation that appeared inside of Carlisle's own eyes couldn't be hidden as his lips slightly lifted to form what was the barest sign of a smile as he gave a nod of his head.



"Good, I was expecting to have you be more… naive, though you seem to be more mature than what I expected someone of your age to be. Usually its either revenge blindness or people who want the easy way out when it clearly isn't going to exist." Carlisle said in that soft tone of his, like a man that didn't need to speak any louder because he knew with confidence that whenever he spoke, people would listen.



"I'll take that as a compliment." Alan muttered in reply as he almost felt like releasing a chuckle before he stopped himself.



'Yeah… naiveness left me when I saw a slime seating human body parts and almost getting eaten myself multiple times in a row.' Alan thought to himself.



"Well then, the first thing we have to do or atleast try is indeed contacting the Quileutes and telling them about the situation and asking for a meeting in neutral grounds, likely at the border between our territories. We have to atleast try that, but the chances of that working are quite slim and there is the danger in it aswell simply because you would have to be there aswell to talk about yourself. With anything going wrong, a clash could happen almost instantly and currently we dont' really know if you have the capabilities to fend for yourself." Carlisle said as he released a soft hum whilst he was deeply in thought.



"What if that doesn't work out?" Alan asked as he raised an eyebrow, the current plan was as Carlisle had said only the start, and the chances of it working were quite slim, with him having no way to prove that he didn't kill them, he could bring out the corpses that were stored inside of his inventory however he didn't know if that would count as him showing the system, something he was not going to try in any way, the penalty was simply too large.

The answer however came almost instantly as Carlisle turned his gaze towards him once more and spoke.

"Then you'll have to leave Forks. Permanently. Likely for the rest of your life. We can manage to get you somewhere safe for a while, Alice will come with you and help you settle somewhere else." Carlisle said as his voice remained completely even without a slight change in his tone, it was clear that this wasn't a joke, it was completely serious.



As Carlisle saw it, these were the only two options that were currently available to Alan to act upon without him having to enter danger that could put him at lifes risk.



Alan froze as he looked at Carlisle, the words doing their rounds through his mind as they seemed to almost be playing on a constant loop inside of his mind.



'Leave Forks, forever… I knew that someday… I'd leave but to… to be forced out of my own childhood city… because of a misunderstanding, because of someone else, because someone is putting my life at risk and I can't do anything about it… This… I…. how do I even feel about this.' Alan thought to himself, his mind was almost completely overwhelmed with different kinds of emotions, there was even a slight bit of excitement at the fact that he would get to leave Forks but at the same time, that excitement was the least prevalent emotion that was currently exploding inside of his mind.



"Leave… forever. Is there, really no other choice? Can't we…" Alan said slowly as he almost mentioned fighting the quileute before he stopped himself, Carlisle had already given his help in a way, had agreed to talk with the Quileute aswell and help him plead his case and then even agreed to help get him settled somewhere else if the talks didn't go through as planned.



'I can't ask him to start a war over me staying in Forks, that's just dumb in the first place. The danger to myself and even to the Cullens and their secret just isn't worth it when I could simply leave.' Alan thought to himself as soon as he stopped his words as he had been speaking them and then shook his head.



"You're right, those two really seem to be the only options left." Alan muttered as he gave a nod of his head, his eyes slightly downcast as he gazed down at the expensive flooring of the room, polished wood that looked like it had just been manufactured, without a single scratch or speck of dust on it as if it had been meticulously cleaned every single day.



Carlisle and Alice stood silent for a moment as they gazed at eachother and then Carlisle's gaze turned towards Alan once more before he released what could only be called the softest sigh possible and gave a nod of his own head.



"You're taking this better than I expected. I'm glad. And thank you for understanding that this is as far as we can go to help you." Carlisle said softly before turning his gaze to look out of the windows once more at the now darkened sky.



"I'll get Esme to prepare a room for you, should be the room right next to this one or you can even use this considering Alice doesn't need to sleep. An attribute of vampires. Whichever you choose, It'll be ready. Do try to get sleep Alan, tomorrow is going to be a long day." Carlisle said once more before turning around and heading out of the room, the sound of his shoes clicking on the hard wooden floor being heard as he walked farther and farther away, leaving the room and leaving behind only the echo of that clacking sound on the flooring.



Alice hadn't spoken yet, not a single word, not until the echo faded and she walked carefully to the door and then slowly closed it before turning around to face Alan once more.



"You look… do you need anything?" Alice said softly, stopping herself before she could voice out the thought that Alan currently looked worse than she had ever seen him, like a cloud of dark depression was swirling right over his face. Blocking out every other emotion on his pale face.



Alan didn't reply for a few moments before shaking his head.



"No, I'm fine. I'm just processing the information." Alan said slowly, almost like he was talking to himself rather than the woman standing before him, like he was trying to convince himself of the new reality that he had once more found himself in.



'First the system took over my world, forcibly changing everything… and then came Joanna who killed Jeannie, Adrian and John… that was another forcible change and now these these damned wolves are doing this shit… just how much longer do I have to keep swaying to the whims of other people, how much longer until I can actually decide for myself. How much longer until I don't have to fear for my life, how much longer until I'm strong enough to actually do something.' Alan thought to himself, a slight edge of despair creeping inside of his mind as he thought about it, the more he did, the more he thought about it, the more the despair grew inside him.



'I've had the system, it's made me stronger… but even now, im nowhere near close to where I need to be. Nowhere close to actually matter against anything like Alice and likely even those damned wolves if Carlisle is taking them that seriously.' Alan thought before slowly releasing a long winded sigh of pure exhaustion and laying his back onto the bed, his feet still on the floor.

Alice looked at the boy before her, because to her that's what he was a boy, he was eighteen years old, his world had been broken over and over again by changes that he did not wish for, did not get to choose, and now… another change had occurred without asking for his permission, because that was the reality, in this world, nothing asked for permission, you either had to keep going, adapt and try to change the outcome or you would fall down, but sometimes… even if you wanted to change the outcome desperately, it did not mean that you would succeed, it did not mean that at all.

Slowly walking closer to the bed, she sat down next to him and put a hand on his knee before turning her head to look at Alan whos upper body was laid down onto the bed, an arm over his eyes.

"I know that it sounds unfair, because It is, I know that and I'm sorry, I'm sorry that we can't do anything more to change this… but is it so bad? I know that the way it's happening isn't great but in the end, maybe you can learn to like the world outside of this small town? There's so much things out there, so many places that you can get to explore, to live in. And I will be there, helping you every single step of the way." Alice said softly as as her voice grew warmer, to her, whilst she could feel bad about his emotions, about what was happening to him, she also… didn't feel the despair that he was feeling, she couldn't sympathise with that. She never had truly had a place, a location on a map that she could call home and if she had ever had that as a human… she had long forgotten about it.

'Am… am i excited about the fact that I'll get to be with him? Alone… for who knows how long, away from everyone else… just me… and him…. Mine.' Alice thought to herself as her thoughts turned immensely darker for but a brief split second inside of her mind and then she quickly shook those thoughts away as she focused back onto him once more, the thoughts were gone now, but they were still there, at the back of her mind, not at the front but there… waiting for their chance to bloom once more.

After a few moments of silence, Alan nodded his head slightly as he removed his arm from where it was shielding his eyes.

"You're right… I just need a bit of time to deal with it. Could you leave for a bit?" Alan asked slowly as he looked at her from where he was laid down on the bed.

Alice didn't reply verbally instead she simply gave a nod of her head before turning as she got up and headed out of the room without a single word more, deciding to leave him to deal with his own thoughts.

'She's not wrong… not wrong but those are not the word that I want to hear right now. Not the moment, not the time for me to hear those words.' Alan thought to himself as he felt his anger increase once more, at this point it was like he wasn't even truly inside of his own body, like he was noticing the emotions as if they were pigments of colour dropping inside of a water glass, clearly able to see them, clearly able to tell they were coming and what they were doing to him. It was a sort of detachment that he had never experienced before, not until now, it was in a way both frightening to feel it and also relieving, he was experiencing the emotions but he felt safe from their effects or at least a subconscious part of him did as his conscious was clearly effected by them still.
"Wolves… Quileute tribe, I hope that you listen…" Alan said outwardly for a moment before stopping as he continued his line of words inside of his own mind.

'Because if you dont… If you truly do make me have to leave… I will come back, I swear it on everything that I am… I will come back and rip you all out of your houses one after the other.' He thought inside of his own mind as he almost shivered at his own outburst, he had almost said that out loud, forgetting momentarily that everyone in this house could hear his each and every breath apparently whilst being on a completely other part of the house.

'This… is annoying, I can't even slip. Not once or they'll be able to hear everything, It feels like I'm living with a camera tied to my head and a microphone tied to my neck constantly. And with how the system is… that's really not something that I want to to have to deal with.' Alan thought to himself before shaking his head once more and then slowly sitting up getting off the bed before walking towards the ceiling to floor windows on the left side of the room and looking out into the forest outside of the large Cullen Mansion.

Tomorrow would be a long day as Carlisle had said, and he would have to prepare, both mentally and physically for anything that could happen.

'I can't head into the dungeon, not right now, not here. I have to find a way to head there but these guys don't even sleep, they seem to be able to hear everything thats happening and my body most definitely disappears from this world when I head to the dungeons otherwise I'd be dead from Joanna already. How do i deal with this?' Alan thought to himself as he noticed another strangeness, it was something he noticed whilst looking at the forest outside.

 

[WhiteAuthor]

His vision was much better than any regular humans by this point, and yet he couldn't notice anything, not a single living being, not a single squirrel or any wild life really, nothing at all.

If this was at his apartment, he wouldn't find it that strange even though even there he did see the occasional wild life, but here? In the middle of the woods? It was most definitely not something that he had expected.

'And there's also no sounds, not a single one, not the birds chirping, nothing. Maybe its muffled by the window?' He thought to himself inwardly as he slowly opened the window and walked out into a small balcony that overlooked the forest and yet still… there was nothing.

'Right, vampires naturally release that oppressive aura, the wild life most likely sensed it and went fleeing away.' Alan thought finally before shaking his head to get it back towards the thoughts that actually mattered.

'I keep thinking about other things in the middle of actually important thoughts… am I… am i deflecting the thoughts? My own thoughts?' Alan thought for a moment before nodding his head and leaning against the balcony railings, his eyes almost glazed over for a moment before he looked back up at the forest and the darkened sky, the moon was slowly starting to come into view through the tree line of the forest.

Minutes passed as he kept looking at the treeline whilst not really looking at it, lost inside of his mind, it wasn't as if he was thinking of anything either, his thoughts had… simply stopped, he was empty minded, he had come across a problem that he truly did not know how to solve, at his current position, he didn't have a clue on how to grow stronger without giving out the existence of the system to the Cullens which would lead to sudden death. He did not know how to deal with the Quileute without growing stronger, he did not know what to do.

There likely was a solution somewhere, maybe it was even simple but currently, his mind simply couldn't come up with an answer, it had been too overstimulated throughout the entire day, it had to deal with too many things, with too many emotions, too many threats, too many secrets until it had come to the point that it had simply decided that enough was enough and shut down.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time atleast to Alan, after his eyes had turned heavy and his mind had started turning sluggish even with the most basic of actions like standing up and leaning against a railing. Alan stood up straight and turned around before heading back inside of Alice's room and walking to the bed before simply laying down on it, not bothering to change out of his clothes, even though a pair of pajamas had been placed on the bed sometimes earlier by likely Alice, though he hadn't even noticed her entering the room whilst he had been staring out in the balcony.

Laying down flat on his back, Alan closed his eyes and in what felt like an instant opened them once more… having slept instantly and woken up only to find that it had already become the next morning without him even realising it.

Sitting up groggily from his position on the bed, he brought a hand to his head as he felt a small headache already forming.

'God… I slept like a rock, almost instantly. Or instantly, can't really remember those last few moments before i fell asleep. My head hurts like a bitch though.' Alan thought to himself as he slowly stood up.

It was at that moment that a knock rang out at his door and he instantly turned his head towards it as his eyes widened and the situation he was in crashed into his mind almost instantly after.

'Right, I forgot for a moment where I was, this isn't my apartment, my apartment is basically gone, I'm at the Cullens, and last night… happened. Fuck.' He thought to himself before he opened his mouth and finally spoke out loud.

"Come in."

The door opened and inside walked Alice Cullen, her eyes looked even more amber than usual, it was… confusing in a way, the situation that they had to deal with today wasn't going to be great and yet the woman looked like she had never been happier in her entire life.

'Weirdo…' Alan thought to himself before slightly shaking his head just an inch and then focusing on her once more as she spoke.

"Good mornin Alan~! I hope you slept well after last night, I was worried for quite a few hours but then I came inside and saw you looking like a sleeping curled up rock. So that kinda helped with my worries, anyways you should come downstairs, Esme made food and her food is to die for or atleast thats what humans who have tried her food say, can't really give my personal opinion about it but its made with love and…" Alice said, her voice rapid as she spoke almost a few words a second, only stoppign when Alan raised his hand, palm facing her in a stopping motion whilst his eyes narrowed in slight pain.

"Slower… slower Alice, I already have a headache and I really cant listen to you talking a hundred miles a second right now. But yeah, I slept well. I rested and I'd be happy to try out your mothers food. I'm sure its great." Alan muttered with a tired deadpan, already exhausted with having to deal with this, this early in the morning.

The headache that he was feeling coming towards him almost as soon as Alice had started speaking in what felt like a hundred miles a second was not going away any time soon as it seemed as he released another exhausted sigh before slightly shaking his head as he walked towards the door.

"Alright, let's go get some food or rather I'll go? Since you don't even have to eat… you get what I mean, whatever." Alan muttered as he walked out of the room, leaving it and the deathly cannibalistic paintings behind as he walked out into the long hall with the dozens of photos and paintings of the Cullens through the ages once more.

Walking down the hall with Alice at his side, Alan was once more thinking about what he could do to deal with the situation once more, now only mere hours likely separated him and the meeting with the Quileute tribe, he would have to either make a plan soon or come up with some kind of idea because if he did not, he would simply have to go with the flow of events and as he had learned the flow of events never truly went in a direction that Alan wanted it to go in.

'Just what can I do… what the hell can I do?' He thought as his mind wandered to his abilities, he wasn't weak, he wasn't anywhere near as weak as he had been when he had first gained the system, in fact he was quite confident in his fighting ability, however the big problem that he had right now was that he didn't know exactly what that fighting ability measured against when fighting vampires or whatever kinds of wolves the Quileute were.

'The level that is shown in the observation when looking at Alice is high but that could be for other reasons and not just physical strength though the vampires have shown me otherwise and proved it that they do have much higher physical powers than me, but what im thinking is that maybe… the Quileute have some kind of other power? Something similar to whatever that Bella Swan has, she seems weak physically yet her level is much higher than it should be for a regular human like her.' Alan thought inwardly as he kept following behind Alice in silence. It was at that moment that he noticed someone touching his shoulder.

Lifting his head from where he was gazing at the ground suddenly in confusion, Alan looked to see that they had stopped and Alice had been shaking him for a bit.

"Uh… what is it?" He asked awkwardly confused as he raised an eyebrow towards the pixie-like vampire whilst scratching the back of his neck in embarrassment. It had been happening quite often, where he would focus so much onto something inside of his mind that he would lose sight of all the outside surroundings.

Alice looked at him for a moment before pinching her nose as she released a sigh and shook her head.

"Was I just talking for minutes… for nothing? Really Alan?" She asked in what felt like the first time showing annoyance towards Alan since he had met her.

Alan's lips slowly lifted up in one of the awkwardest smiles of his life before he raised his shoulders silently into a shrug.

"Sorry?" He said softly as he couldn't bear to look at her for a moment longer as his eyes swerved to the left, looking at the wall behind her.

"Look, it's fine, I'll just repeat it again, this is actually important so listen okay? The meeting with the Quileute Tribe that's happening today." Alice said and as soon as the words left her mouth, Alan's stance changed entirely in what felt like a fraction of a second as his eyes swerved back towards her face in an instant and his eyebrows narrowed, there was no more time for awkwardness or embarrassment, there was no more time for him to be complaining about his headache, his entire focus was placed on her and the next words that would be uttered out of her mouth.

"Carlisle sent a message to the tribe yesterday night, they responded and… agreed to a meeting however that doesn't mean that all is fixed. They didn't really give us any information besides the fact that they were indeed the ones that broke your place and that they would need explanations as well about certain matters, these are likely related to the disappearance of your friends and the fact that they smelled the blood in your apartment." Alice said at first as she took a step back and leaned against the left hallway wall, putting one foot on it whilst the other leg remained straight.

"Right, so what does Carlisle want me to do and also what time is the meeting?" Alan asked, his tone of voice was clear and there was not a single sway in it, his eyes remained cold, unmoving and unfeeling almost.

"Around seven in the afternoon we will meet with them at the border between our two territories, its in the middle of the forest, there's a small water creek that separates us. Now as for what you should do… Carlisle will tell you that himself, he's in the living room right now and he can talk to you about it whilst you finish eating your breakfast. Sound good?" Alice asked as she lifted an eyebrow.

"Sounds perfect."

"Sounds perfect" Alan muttered as he looked away from her whilst the two were walking down the hall, his stomach deciding at that very moment to announce its presence as it growled loudly… not that it would have mattered even if it had not been loud, the vampires would have heard it just as clearly as if it had roared loudly.

"Hungry huh?" Alice asked teasingly, a slightly lighter tone in her voice as she walked alongside him.

The mansion was large enough that it took almost an entire minute of simply walking slowly to get from Alice's room to the living room when they were talking an walking at the same time, the conversation switching from what they were going to do today and the downed atmosphere of the meeting that was now not even an entire day away, simply hours and into light hearted teasing as Alice chidded him about not eating enough.

Finally arriving before the living room door, Alice went first as she opened it and entered inside, Alan following swiftly behind her as he entered the room and looked around, the entirety of the Cullen Coven was around him, Rosalie and Emmet were seated at the living room couch whilst Esme seemed to be in the open Kitchen at the back of the room, clearly still cooking whilst Carlisle was seated at the head of the table, already waiting for Alan.

Jasper and Edward were seated a bit farther away on the single couches, Jasper reading some kind of book that appeared to be in spanish, making it that Alan couldn't quite understand what the book cover said, his spanish had never been his strong suit whilst Edward seemed to just be in his own thoughts, looking at the floor from where he was seated, his brows scrunched up and eyes narrowed at seemingly nothing but the thin air.

"Ah, good morning Alan. I hope you slept well?" Carlisle finally spoke as his head turned towards Alan as soon as he entered the room, that same calming deep voice that almost instantly seemed to make whoever heard it start trusting the man, it was in a way relieving and also concerning to Alan.

'This guy… it's almost like his voice has magical properties or something.' Alan thought to himself as he felt his own emotions inside of himself calm down as soon as he heard the voice of the man, it was certainly an experience.

'I'm not… gay right?' Alan thought to himself for a single instant before he shook his head lightly at himself.

'No. Definitely not, I'd know if I was… I'm not… I'm not…' Alan muttered inside of his own mind before refocusing once more on the man seated at the head of the table.

"Yeah, slept perfectly, thank you for your hospitality once more mister Carlisle." Alan replied as politely as he could towards the man who he knew for a fact could have simply decided to not help him at all and yet he had clearly been trying to find a solution to his problem whilst Alan had been dead asleep.

Carlisle gave a nod, a small gentle smile appearing on his face, only further enhancing his unnaturally handsome face.

"It's alright, you're a friend of Alice and any friends of hers is also one of mine. I'm just doing the least that I should do, considering that It wasn't your fault that you ended up in this situation. Anyone would have helped." Carlisle said softly as he shook his head, clearly not even trying to take any sort of claim to the help that he had given Alan.

'Any person would have? Yeah, tell Joanna that.' Alan thought inside his mind however outwardly he simply gave another grateful nod towards the man, not wanting to push if he didn't want to take the gratitude for the help.

Before Alan could speak another word or even sit down at the table, Esme Cullen appeared from the kitchen as she was cleaning her hands with a cloth.

"Good morning Alan, I made pancakes. I hope you're okay with that? I could make something else if you want?" Esme asked as she greeted him in a soft almost motherly voice as she walked closer to him.

Turning to face the woman, Alan gave a nod of his head before opening his mouth as he spoke.

"No, that's quite alright Ma'am. Pancakes sound awesome right now actually and yeah uh… good morning." Alan replied as he lifted his hand and scratched the back of his neck.

Alice chose that very moment to smirk as she patted his back, her eyes seemed to almost twinkle in amusement as she looked at him.

"Awhh, are you embarrassed? You always do that when your shy, it's cute y'know?" Alice said in a light almost giggling tone, clearly referencing to him scratching or rubbing the back of his neck.

Turning his eyes towards her without even moving his head, Alan gave her the meanest side eye glare that he could.

'I'm already struggling to deal with your parents here, I'm not used to this shit and you're making fun of me… ah damn it.' Alan thought to himself in slight light-hearted annoyance before turning his gaze back towards Esme who was motioning for him to sit down near Carlisle.

Giving a nod and deciding to stop hesitating any longer, Alan walked and quickly sat down at the table near Carlisle before pulling the chair up a bit closer and getting comfortable and then before he could even turn to Carlisle and start the conversation about what they would be doing at the meeting later in the day, he found a plate of perfect pancakes already placed before him.

The pancakes were glistening with what looked like honey as well as a side of blueberries and strawberries.

'That… was fast.' Alan thought to himself.

"Eat before you talk, can't even think with an empty stomach you know?" Esme said helpfully a single second later as she smiled warmly down at Alan.

"Ah, yes, uh thank you." Alan muttered as he started eating and the sound of a fork and knife together with the sound of chewing started being heard in the otherwise completely silent room.

'This is so damn awkward… can they like, put on the television or something… they're just completely silent and Alice, Carlisle and Esme are just straight up looking at me whilst I eat… please kill me, kill me right now.' Alan thought to himself as he almost lost his hunger simply from the complete awkwardness of the moment, that was for merely a moment however as he soon realised he was simply way too hungry to care about the situation around him and the pancakes were simply too perfect to pass up on.

Finally after a few minutes of complete silence besides the sounds of Alan eating, Alan finished and put down the fork and knife before taking a small handkerchief that Esme had given him and wiping at his mouth and hands.

Turning to face Carlisle, Alan's expression changed into one of complete seriousness as he nodded with his head towards the man.

"We could talk now, So… about the meeting, what are we going to do? What do you want me to do and how should I act during it? I assume that I must not be aggressive towards them and try to keep my calm even if they accuse me of things that I haven't done?" Alan asked slowly, thinking about his words as he said them as he thought about what he expected Carlisle to tell him.

Carlisle gave a nod of his head before opening his mouth to speak, his own expression having changed from the light warm one that he had been donning until now and turned into one of matching seriousness to the one that Alan had on his own face.

"Yes, that's the basics of it. The meeting will take place in neutral ground however you need to be on guard at all times. Alice and Emmet will be staying near you whilst I will be talking with them. Jasper over there has a gift that allows him to manipulate emotions to a certain degree, an empath of sorts, he will be using his gift to try and calm everyone as much as possible, you included if you start getting agitated by the accusations. What you need to remember when we head there is that we don't have as much power as the Quileute do in Forks, we have an agreement and we are in a way equally as possible however whilst we do not want a war to occur in any case, the Quileute are young, at least the new generation of them and they're likely to not have as many complaints about a war occurring, some of them may even want to use this situation to incite one and try to heroically start a war to get rid of the Cold Ones as they call us." Carlisle said as he motioned towards Alice and Emmet who was farther away in the room with his head before turning his gaze towards Jasper when he mentioned his gift and finally turning his gaze once more onto Alan by the time that he had finished his speech.

"Want to incite a war… they have that large of a grudge on you? But from what I gathered, you guys helped them in defeating someone that had been causing trouble to them, so I thought that you would at least have a slightly better relationship than this." Alan muttered in slight confusion as he tilted his head.

Carlisle looked at Alan for a moment before shaking his head as he released a long slow sigh and spoke once more.

"That should have been the case, we have never caused any trouble for them and even gotten rid of the occasional rogue vampire that came to Forks however , the younger generation doesn't see it like that. All they see are monsters in human skin who are also staying in what they call their ancestral lands or the lands nearby them. There's also the fact that their species instinctually doesn't like vampires, it's a situation similar to fire and water, we are in a way complete opposites of one another and even though we are coexisting, this situation isn't that safe or stable."

"Right… then I guess all that's left to do is hope for the best." Alan muttered in reply as he shook his head in slight annoyance.

'Younger generation fuckers, I bet it was one of those young gens that also ruined my apartment and did all that shit… if only I was stronger… if only.' Alan thought to himself in annoyance as he looked away from Carlisle and back onto the table infront of him. Esme had already removed his plate and cleaned the table, leaving it looking like it was brand new once more in mere seconds.

Meanwhile… As these talks were happening inside of the Cullen Mansion, on the complete other side of Forks, inside of the Quileute Reservation, a similar discussion was taking place.

Meanwhile as the talks were happening in the Cullen Mansion, at the same time on a completely opposite side of Forks, another discussion was taking place, inside of the Quileute Reservation among the leaders of the Quileute tribe.

At a large wooden house in the middle of the cabin, five people were gathered, Sam Uley, Billy Black, Abraham Penn as well as James Smith.

Sam Uley was the youngest member inside of the current meeting and the only reason that he had gotten a spot inside of it was for the fact that he was the member of the younger generation who had first activated his shape shifting powers, thus making him the current de facto alpha of the younger pack of wolves.

Billy Black was looking at him with an expression that clearly showed his complete seriousness on the matter that had been brought up after Carlisle Swan had sent them a letter during the late hours of last night. It had been left at the edge of the border between the two territories and the wolves which had been on patrol had found it almost immediately, easily able to smell when a Cold One came near their territory.

"Carlisle sent a letter last night, it pertains to the person who you report to have identified as the killer of the three kids from Forks Highschool. The letter talks about their being a misunderstanding and that Carlisle wants to have a talk with us at the border today about it, together with the kid whos being accused." Billy said, his old gravely voice spreading through the otherwise silent wooden house however a difference from the Cullen Mansion was the fact that sounds could still be heard coming from outside, it was only silence inside of the house, outside the wildlife was still making noise, the insects were still there and so were the deer, squirrels and other creatures. Some things that did not exist anywhere near where the Cullens lived.

"Missunderstanding? I smelled it, the smell of blood, the entire apartment was covered in it, aswell as the smell of those three kids. There is no miscommunication, whatever happened it happened inside of that kids house and now those… Cold bastards are even trying to protect him?" Sam spoke, his voice cold as he looked at Billy Black, his eyes narrowed, he had never truly had a great connection with the old tribe, having wanted to have more of his own freedom, more ability to make decisions on his own, he had never agreed to the truce deal that they had with the Cold Ones, always thinking that the best option was to fight them and get rid of them from Forks for good however he had not been able to say much as he did not have much power, however as more and more of the younger generation of the Quileute tribe awakened and joined his side… the more freedom he found in his ability to speak and defy the elders.

"That remains to be seen, we have never had any problems with them for a long time… it is true that we must never trust them however we should also still check what they are saying, it could be the case that the boy is truly innocent. He does not smell like one of them afterall." Billy said slowly as his voice grew harder at the obvious disobedient look on Sam's face.

'This kid… thinking that im taking a slight at him simply for asking him to be more careful.' Billy thought to himself, almost feeling like he was going to have a headache simply from talking to the young man infront of him who seemed to not want to take a cautionary approach no matter what.

'Ah to be young and… nevermind I was never that prideful.' Billy thought as he slightly shook his head and then turned his gaze towards the rest of the elders.

"We will do as Billy says… it is better to be sure rather than simply launch an attack towards the Cullens, we must not forget what they are and their power, a fight with them currently when we are still getting stronger is not a good idea. We have to wait atleast a few more months if not another year or two before everyone of this generation finishes awakening to their true self. At that point we can take more rash decision Sam." Abraham says as he gives a nod towards Billy before turning his gaze towards Sam, it was his way of affirming the power that Billy and the other elders held whilst still trying to slightly appease the young man so that this wouldn't turn into a straight out brawl of words and shouting between the two parties.

'We have to be more careful with him aswell, we can not have a rebellion happening inside of the tribe whilst the Cullens are still here, as always they will leave in a few years and be gone for decades, enough time for Sam and the others to mature enough… we just have to hope that nothing happens today.' Abraham thought to himself as he felt like releasing a long sigh, he had always had the job of dealing with the inner politic currents that went through the tribe however he had never had as much trouble as now when the next generation was slowly rising up to take up the mantle from the last one.

'Just a few more years of peace… just a few more.' Abraham thought to himself as he slowly turned his gaze to look through the window and to the outside.

The hours passed faster than any of the ones that Alan had ever experienced in his life, it was like one moment he was still eating breakfast at the table inside of the Cullen mansion and in the very next moment, the sun was already starting to set down.

He had not done much throughout the day, in fact he had almost spent the entirety of the day sitting down in the living room with the television turned on to a random sports channel whilst he was deeply inside of his own thoughts, thoughts that went inside of his mind for a moment and then out of it, if someone even questioned him what he was thinking about, he would obviously tell them that he was thinking about the future, about what was going to happen, about what he was going to do from now on, however if they asked him what the conclusion he had come to was? He would not be able to reply.

He had no idea, none at all on what was going to happen, on what was going to be going on during or after the meeting with the Quileute and neither did he have any idea on what he was going to do. He had thought about it so much that it had cycled back to the point where he had thought so much about it that he was too conflicted, it was as if he had not thought about it at all.

'I wish I had not, atleast that way I wouldn't have spent all that damn time stressing about it and actually enjoyed my day inside of a fucking mansion. But no, I did all that for nothing and now the sun is setting and it's almost here and i dont know anything.' Alan thought to himself as he was on the balcony of the woodland mansion, staring out at the falling golden sun as it slowly but surely approached the top of the tree-line and then started disappearing behind it as the light slowly vanished and was replaced by the darkness of the night time.

"Are you ready Alan?" A voice said from behind him, turning around to look, he already knew who it was without having even fully turned, and there she was, Alice Cullen. She had stayed by his side throughout the entire day, unlike her usual self or the morning, she had not spoken much, letting him have time to deal with his own thoughts and process everything on his own, something that he was appreciative of. Sometimes silence was a bigger gift than any kind of talk could be.

"Yeah. As ready as I'll ever be. Are we going now?" Alan asked softly as he gave a nod of his head towards the pixie-like vampiress.

Alice gave a nod of her head in reply to his question, her expression was as serious as it had ever been, her eyes slightly narrowed and much darker than her usual amber as she looked towards him for a few moments in silence before finally replying as she turned her head to look behind him, staring at the falling sun through the tree line. The entire mansion was mostly in shadow and the sun never hit any part of it, however the sun could still be seen for just a slight second and then it disappeared after a few moments, the last rays of it disappearing.

"Yeah, we'll be heading over now. It's already almost seven, we will be heading there on foot. I'll carry you." Alice said softly as she turned her head to look towards Alan once more, her lips were in a flat line after she finished talking before she softly shook her head, clearly not at him but whatever thought had briefly passed through her mind.

"Carry me?" Alan asked in slight confusion as he lifted an eyebrow towards her.

'What does she mean by carrying me? As in literally carrying me in her arms? Why? What? Wait… are… are they going to be moving at the same speed that Edward moved at during his save of Bella on that day?' Alan thought to himself as his mind quickly found the memory of the day Edward Cullen had saved Bella Swan during the incident with the white van and then as soon as his mind went there, his eyes slowly widened slightly.

'Can… Can I even survive that? No… no way, hell no. I don't wanna do that shit. It was already scary enough when she was driving but doing that?... fuck. I don't have a choice do I?' Alan thought to himself as he felt a shiver slowly start from the base of his spine and then spread through the rest of his body.

Alice instantly caught the shiver in her sight as the flat line of her lips slowly started twitching as a slight playful look started twinkling inside of her eyes as she slowly walked towards Alan before stopping right before him and placing her hand on his shoulder.

"Oh come on Alan… it won't be that bad. In fact It's going to be really fun, all the scenery around us as we run, the sights, very beautiful… if you can even see them at that speed that is." Alice said as her smile finally widened enough to resemble a smirk as she looked at him with open playfulness in her eyes now.

"Damn you…" Alan muttered out loud unconsciously.

A few minutes later, Alan Walker found himself in the middle of the forests that surrounded Forks whilst on the back of a tiny pixie like vampire whilst the rest of the Cullens stood around them. Emmet Cullen in particular looked like he was having the time of his life as he stood there, smirking and barely being able to stop his laughter as he stared at the scene in front of him.



It was a comical sight, something that even Alan himself knew as he was on Alice's back. The tiny woman holding him on her back whilst making it look extremely easy as if she was simply holding a bag of feathers instead of an actual person.



"Can we… just get going already?" Alan asked with a sigh as he lifted his hand and placed it over his face, his expression showed a look of utter devastation at having to do this in public and in front of people that he barely even knew at all.



"Get going already? Come on, enjoy it a little. You're being carried by a pretty lady y'know?" Emmet finally spoke as his smirk widened as he walked closer to Alan and Alice, however as soon as he took two steps, his mate, Rosalie Hale dragged him back to his previous position forcefully by his shirt.



"Shut it Em." Rosalie practically hissed out as she looked at him with eyes that looked like they wanted to murder him before they landed on the sight of Alan and Alice for just the briefest moment, a complicated emotion appearing on them before she turned her gaze away towards the front and into the forest once more.



Rosalie hadn't spoken a word to Alan, not since he had learned everything about them and what they were. It was clear that she had not been appreciative of the fact, something that Alan had figured out before the reveal had even happened however she had remained more cordial than he had expected her to be considering everything that had happened.



It seemed that she and Alice had come to at least a truce deal or something similar with neither conversing with each other or interacting in any way.



Carlisle, who stood at the front of the group, finally nodded his head to the rest of them and turned his body to face in the direction they would be heading in.



"We will arrive there in a few minutes at most Alan, hold onto Alice as much as you can and stay close when we arrive, do not in any circumstance say anything that could lead to any kind of misunderstanding or angering of the Quileutes. Let me do the talking and only talk if they specifically want to hear from you." Carlisle said in that perfect voice of his that seemed to almost echo throughout the forest.



Alan who had finally lowered his hand from his face and had smoothed his shamed expression over, gave a nod of his head as he similarly to the man turned his gaze forwards and then tightened his arms around Alice's neck as much as he could, there was no reason to fear that he would suffocate her, he already knew that even if he tried to do something like that, It wouldn't work.



For a brief moment as soon as Alan had given the nod, the Cullens stayed still, merely turning their heads in the same direction as Carlisle and then in the very next second without any warning or anything, with no wind up time at all. Alan felt the image of the forest before him change as everything turned into a blur and a force unlike any other slammed into his body as he wrapped his arms even tighter around Alice.



For a moment he had felt like he was going to be thrown off and get sent flying before he had doubled his efforts, the speed that they were traveling at was frankly unlike anything Alan had ever seen before, the speed of the yellow porsche wasn't a comparison at all, it wasn't even close.



'What… what the fuck.' Alan thought as he tried to hold on as much as he could however it was getting harder and harder with each second as his strength started getting weaker, he couldn't hold on at maximum strength all the time after all and the twists and turns at insane speeds so that they wouldn't end up face first into a tree were not helping in any way at all.



The scenery around him was slowly turning back from a blur to something actually visible as Alan's eyes got adapted however even then, he could see the objects that they were passing, he could remember parts of the scenery however there was in no way any chance for him to actually react to anything at this speed. Even if he had been able to move around at such speeds himself, it would have been utterly uncontrollable.



'Just how far ahead of me are they in strength overall? I can barely even see whats around us and yet Alice is reacting to it completely and dodging every single tree and object in the way perfectly with me on her back whilst not slowing down at all. And this… its a pretty dense forest at that.' Alan thought to himself in shock at what was happening, however the shock would have to get removed fast as he realised something once again. The scenery was no longer moving.



They had stopped.



They had arrived at the meeting location with the Quileute Tribe.

The meeting area was at the border between the Quileute and the Cullen territories.



The area was in the middle of the forest, there was a small creek that ran in between the two territories that had been used as the border between the two of them. Rocks covered most of the area around it and then the treeline started before quickly turning into a dense forest.



And there… in front of Alan Walker, on the other side of the creek, barely a dozen meters away stood the Quileutes. There were a dozen of them, more than the Cullens, around ten.



Part of the group were Billy Black who had come as the lead of the tribe as well as Sam and the rest of his pack.



Meanwhile on this side were the Cullens and Alan, the only one missing was Esme Cullen who had stayed back at the mansion whilst the rest had gone on to the meeting.



Alan took a slow gulp that seemed to almost echo in the complete silence of the area, the only thing that was heard besides the sound of the water rushing down the creek.



Slowly and carefully, Alice lowered Alan to the ground whilst her eyes stayed glued onto the wolves, they weren't in their wolf transformations yet, however all the vampires could tell just based on how tense the quileute side were that at the slightest sign or alarm they would most definitely instantly transform and get onto the attack, especially the younger members of the tribe who seemed to almost be shaking slightly, be it from nerves or from some kind of anger that was directed towards them.



"Carlisle, you called." Billy spoke first as he walked closer to the Creek whilst he raised a hand towards the rest of his tribe, calming them down slightly as he walked closer and then stopped right at the edge of the Quileute territory, merely a few meters away from the Cullens.



Carlisle himself gave a nod of his own as he started walking and stopped at the edge of the creek on his own side as well.



"That's right. There has been a misunderstanding and Alan Walker, the boy over there has suffered because of it. We were hoping to clear this up." Carlisle spoke as his gaze moved slightly behind him to where Alan was stiffly standing, his breathing as controlled as it could be whilst standing in the middle of a gathering of beings that were most definitely much stronger than he was, knowing full well that his life was not in his own hands at all.



'Observe' Alan thought to himself as he stared at the quileute… and the observation skill took effect instantly however just as he had expected, the results that it gave were not in his favour in the slightest.



[ Observation Skill has been activated. ]



[ Analysing Target. ]



[ Analysis Complete. ]



[ The difference in the level is too high, giving partial results. ]



[ Name: Billy Black. ]



[ Level: ??? ]



[ Age: ??? ]



[ Race: ??? ]



[ Name: Sam Uley ]



[ Level: ??? ]



[ Age: ??? ]



[ Race: ??? ]



…



He used the observation skill on each and every single one of the people from the Quileuete however the results were the exact same, they were at the same level as the Cullens or maybe they were weaker or stronger, Alan didn't know that, he couldn't accurately tell the level that the Cullens were at, however there was one thing he knew for sure after the observation, they were too strong for the difference to even matter in the first place and the second piece of information that he had was the fact that they held a similar territory in forks to the Cullens, something that obviously made him think that they were quite equal in strength if not in singular strength, at least when you compared it numbers wise.



'Damn it, damn it all. I had a slight hope, however small that they wouldn't be and that they only held the territory because the Cullens are nice and that hope just got fucking crushed to the ground.' Alan thought to himself as he released a soft slow inward sigh as he once more focused onto the conversation that was taking place before him.



"A misunderstanding? One of our own was investigating the murder of three teenagers Carlisle. The boy that you are protecting was the last person that was seen with them, that however didn't make us judge him as guilty instantly, however when we sent someone to his home… there was the smell of blood, the children's blood all over the entire apartment. How does one explain that?" Billy Black asked as he lifted an eyebrow, his voice was slightly gravelly however it was completely controlled, not a slight bit of increase on his tone as he gazed at Carlisle, the man was simply stating the facts as he knew them, without trying to accuse instantly or get emotional about anything at all, a complete difference to how Sam Uley who was right behind him was reacting as soon as he heard Carlisle accuse them of misunderstanding the situation.



"It was already clear what happened as soon as I stepped into that apartment, Cold One. You are simply trying to protect one of your own." Sam Uley finally spoke, his voice almost trembling with rage as he gazed at Carlisle's amber eyes.



"I know that it is hard to believe however it is the truth. We have not caused any problems in centuries and have had no need to do so. Alan is not one of us, he is not a Cold One as you call it. And as you can see from us, none of us have had any human blood, it would show in our eyes if we had, you know of this Billy Black." Carlisle spoke once more, ignoring the young fellow who had interrupted the conversation.

Billy Black similarly chose to completely ignore Sam, this was not the time, and he himself did not want things to escalate into a blood bath.



"Then explain the smell of blood Carlisle, what happened? Or could the boy himself come forth and explain his own side of the story." Billy asked as he turned his gaze towards the side and looked past Carlisle to where Alan Walker was standing.



Feeling the gazes of every single participant in the area turn towards him, Alan felt a shiver run through his entire body, one that he quickly stopped as soon as he could as he turned his gaze slightly to Alice who gave him a nod before he turned his eyes back forwards and took a step and then another slowly before he found himself standing next to Carlisle whilst looking at Billy Black.



"Hello, my name is Alan Walker. And… I did not kill them. They were my best friends, the only people that actually talked to me. I was friends with them before I ever had met the Cullens or even talked with them. So… firstly, the Cullens have nothing to do with the scenario at all, they only found out about the full story last night when I told them about it and asked help considering that my entire apartment was ravaged." Alan said softly as calmly as he could, trying to convey as little aggression as he could.



He had already seen how Sam Uley had reacting to simply being called out for misunderstanding the situation, Alan was already on the edge about even saying anything about what the guy had done to his apartment in case the man did something rash or found some kind of weird offense or thought that Alan was trying to say something against him with that statement.



"You're right, from what we've gathered, you were indeed friends with them. But that still doesn't really explain anything Alan. It makes this even more confusing however it does not explain it away." Billy said slowly as he looked at Alan, his eyes still as steady as ever as he now gazed at the young boy standing in front of him.



"That… That's true. The person who killed them was a skin walker of sorts, they came in town and were selling drugs to the three of them, i found out about this after they called me over to get me to try the drugs as well for fun… and they got possessed, that was when the skin walker found out about me and well got interested, they then killed the three of them and tried to use their deaths to… damage my mental health and make it easier to posses me and use my body. But that… thats the truth but its not something that I can verify more than just my words and the fact that I've never done anything. But the smell of blood is also all that you have when you're condemning me." Alan said and the second the words left out of his mouth, he knew that he had made a mistake, he knew it almost instantly after all the entire atmosphere of the entire gathering changed.



It wasn't Billy that had changed, and neither was it the other older member of the Quileute tribe that had changed. It was the entire younger generation with Sam Uley at the top that had changed, as their entire bodies were slowly being covered with fur from the tips of their fingers and toes and towards the rest of their bodies.



Carlisle didn't hesitate even for one moment as he grabbed Alan by the back and threw him behind him whilst Alice moved at super speed and instantly caught him into her arms mid air.



Growling slowly started to be heard all around the clearing before hissing soon joined in as Alice's expression had completely changed, her fangs being shown whilst her eyes had turned a complete dark abyssal black.



"Do you expect us to just believe that? Do you truly think that we are some kind of idiotic beasts? All that we have is the smell of blood? You think thats not enough? Your staying with those monsters, talk about it not being your fault but from some kind of nonsensical story like a skin walker? And you have no proof to even verify the existence of such a creature? Elder Black, I believe we have heard enough." Sam Uley practically growled the words out as he took another step forward to now standing right besides Billy Black, his expression had fully turned into a complete snarl.



Billy himself had turned his gaze towards Sam and then past him to the rest of the younger generation. Alan who was looking at every single one of them as intently as he could, noticed a slight change in expression for a brief second, it was almost… a look that someone who was completely and utterly tired would give however it seemed also somehow tinged with slight sadness.



"The boy must leave Forks by next week. That is the biggest concession that we can give Carlisle." Billy spoke once more as his expression changed back to that stoic look once more whilst he raised his arm and put it in front of Sam.



"Billy…" Sam growled out almost as soon as he did, his gaze narrowing towards the elder in what felt like pure aggression, as if the man had slighted him personally.



"Stay down. I will not speak again Sam. Do not embarrass us." Billy said in a tone that was colder than it had ever been.

Leave Forks forever by next week, those words resounded inside of Alan's head over and over again as he stood still whilst he was surrounded by the Cullens, for a moment he couldn't even look at the Quileutes that were standing a dozen or so feet away on the other side of the water creek. He had known that it could come to this, in fact this was one of the better scenarios that his mind had cooked up, the rest of them had involved Alans decapitated body or worse…



'To think that I'll have to leave my hometown, simple because I protected myself, all because of that fucking bitch who had to come and start hunting me down, I have the bodies in the inventory, but what would that even do? Even if I did show the bodies, it would just further confirm that I'm not normal, it would put me more at risk of the system penalty whilst at the same time, what would they even think? They could just say that I was the one who killed them… damned it. Damned it all.' Alan thought to himself as he finally started raising his gaze, his eyes had narrowed and the rage for once had consumed him, it felt unfair, the entire ordeal, the entire world felt unfair as he gazed at Billy Black and then at Sam fierctly his eyes not heading down or away from them at all, for a moment, Alan did not care, he didn't care at all whether they could kill him, whether they could do anything.



Finally after a few moments of silence in the clearing, Alan spoke up once more, breaking the deep tense silence that had consumed the clearing.



"I will leave Forks by next week as you have asked of me, however I will be back with proof one day, proof that I wasn't the one who did it, definite proof that the skin walkers I talked about are real. Because I will not be expelled out of my own home for something that I did not do. Until then, I will listen to your command." He spoke, his voice hard and steady, not wavering in the slightest as he gazed directly into the old mans eyes with his own unflinching slightly green eyes.



Billy black gazed at him just the same, his expression showing not a single change in it for a mere moment before he gave a nod towards Alan.



"Alright boy, come back with proof and we will welcome you back, I will even personally apologise towards you." Billy replied before turning around as he slowly started heading away, the rest of the Quileute looked at their elder and then back towards the Cullens and Alan multiple times before they similarly started heading away, leaving only the Cullens and Alan in the small clearing at the water creek.



"Alan… I'm sorry that I couldn't do more." Alice said softly as she was the first one to move even closer towards Alan and place a hand on his shoulder, her own eyes were slightly glassy and a clear amber colour, clearing projecting the grief that she felt towards his own misfortune, whilst Alice didn't particularly mind leaving Forks, she infact had even slightly dreamed about it, leaving Forks together with Alan, just the two of them for the rest of eternity, however she also knew that it wouldn't be an easy thing for the boy that had lived his entire life inside of the town, she knew that it would in no way be a simple matter, not when the leaving hadn't been voluntary but rather a forceful expelling of him from the town.



Alan didn't reply for a moment, gathering his own thoughts and emotions as he had been working to calm himself inside of his own mind since Billy Black had agreed and then proceed to walk away. Finally after gathering his thoughts once more, he turned towards Alice and gave a nod of his head, just a slight brief motion of his head as his eyes appeared to be more focused than they had ever been.



"I'ts alright, It's not the end of the world, I'll be heading off then, I'd like to do it as soon as possible actually." Alan replied towards Alice before his gaze turned towards Carlisle.



"Would you be able to send me to Port Angeles mister Carlisle?" Alan asked directly.



Carlisle gave a nod of his own as he spoke.

"Yes, I would be able to, however I was of the thought that Alice would be joining you?" Carlisle spoke with that soft baritone voice of his as he looked at Alan with slight confusion.



Alan shook his head as he replied.



"I'd like to head off on my own, maybe I can call her or something if I want to meet up with Alice who is a very dear friend of mine however… not now, I want to be alone for a while and I hope that she and the rest can respect that." Alan spoke out.



'I can't go to the dungeons if she or any of them are around, I don't need any distractions anymore, not a single one, at least not until I finally get strong enough that I can deal with this constant bullshit.' Alan thought to himself, his inner voice was cold, there was no way in hell that he could allow Alice to tag along with him, not when he had just faced another injustice simply because he had been to weak to stop it, and he had the tools to grow stronger, all that he had to do was use them.



Alice who had stood by his side slowly changed her expression, at first it turned almost emotionless before her eyes turned much darker and for a slight second, it almost looked like she wanted to kill Alan himself right then and there, like she couldn't accept the fact that someone was taking him away from her even if it was Alan himself that was doing it, all of that however barely lasted for a single second, before Carlisle took a few steps closer to Alan and Alice's expression returned back to normal.

Here's a chapter for today, this is the start of a new arc and it becomes quite a bit more fast paced from here on out.

And... I have to say that I really like the next arc.

It will however be original content... though at this point it feels like I'm writing an original novel instead of a fan fiction considering just how much original arcs I'm doing, but I had this idea and I couldn't not write it, I won't spoil anything and you'll just have to wait and see.

Anyways, if you want to help support me further and read ahead then check out my Pa tr e on at:

"Why… I thought… I thought that you would, y'know… I thought that we were getting closer, are you sure about this Alan? You'll be all alone by yourself in a city that you dont even know anything about? No friends, no way to get help if something happens… and I wont be close like I am in Forks to just come as fast as possible." Alice spoke softly as she looked at Alan with that soft expression on her face as she took another step closer, a step that caused Carlisle to slightly raise his guard up even further as he looked at this adopted daughter with a narrowed gaze, his hands looked ready to snap up and stop her at a moments notice.



Alan's eyes caught the entire scene in detail, the look on Alice's face, the guard that Carlisle had put up around him and how the rest of the Cullens were reacting in a eerily similar manner to Carlisle himself.



'What the fuck is happening? Is this… Is she actually about to attack me right now? Just because im refusing to take her with me? No… I think I know her well enough to know that she wouldn't intentionally harm me in any way, however what if she thinks that I can only be safe if I am around her, what then?' Alan thought to himself as he slowly felt a shiver slowly start to being running through his entire body before he forcible calmed his body down, something that he had unfortunately gotten very good at from how many eerie and unsettling situations he had been in recently.



"Yeah, I want to go alone, I… I can't say much, I can't even really tell you the reason as to why, but I want you to understand that this is for my own good, please respect my choice. I'll still keep in touch as much as I can, I'll call you on the phone as much as possible and you'll be the first person I turn to if something does happen and I do need to seek help. But this is a step that I want to take alone, even if I can't tell you the reason as to why." Alan spoke, his voice slowly turning clearer and clearer and more steady as he spoke the words out loud, his mind turning firmer as he finally finished his thoughts and what he could do to get out of this situation.



"For your own good, even though it really is hard to believe that Alan… I… I'll trust you, thats something that I should be able to do as your friend… okay." Alice responded after a few moment of silence that had placed the entire area into a tense standoff, after finishing said words, the vampiric woman took a step beck and then another until she was a dozen meters away from Alan, before giving one last nod and turning around and running away into the forest, her figure turning into a blur of speed as she disappeared.



Carlisle who was next to Alan released a sigh of relief before he turned towards the boy once more, his shoulders slightly less tense then earlier.



'That was anticlimactic.' Alan thought to himself as he wondered if his mind had over-reacted to Alice's expression changes and how she had been standing, maybe she truly was more understanding than he thought she was.



'Yeah right… don't let your guard down, I'm done letting my guard down, guard up at all times, around every single person. I don't have family in the first place, I can't even begin to trust these people with my life or anything else at this point, even thought they have helped me… I should always have backup plans in mind starting forth.' Alan thought as his eyes lifted up slightly and he turned his gaze away from where Alice had disappeared into the forest and back towards Carlisle who was standing next to him and now looking directly at him.



"With that sorted out, you said that you wanted to leave Forks tonight, I'll help you or rather I'll get Edward to drive you out to an apartment in Port Angeles, It's one that we own, you can stay there for as long as you wish, we will also give you enough funds to last you an entire year on your own before you have to even think about getting a job. I suggest that you use that year to get more onto your feet and then proceed to travel even further away from Forks and Port Angeles as the Quiluete young members could always come back for some kind of trouble." Carlisle spoke as he turned his gaze away from Alan at the end of his words and towards the direction where the Quileute had vanished, his eyes narrowing for a moment at the darkness inbetween the treeline before those same amber eyes turned towards Alan once more, awaiting his reply.



Alan's own eyes had widened considerably, he had thought that he would just get sent to Port Angeles and left to fend for himself however it seemed that the generosity of the Cullens was something that he had once more underestimated, and at the same time, it was one thing that kept getting more and more baffling, why would they be helping some random kid that just happened to be their daughters friend so much, the apartment and the sum of money were certainly suspicious.



'I still dont get it… all of this for just a mere friend? Someone that hasn't even really become best friends with Alice, heck it hasn't even been an entire month since I started talking to her… what exactly is happening here?' Alan thought inwardly however he knew that he had no choice but to accept the generosity given to him, it would make his life a lot easier atleast at the beginning and he could use the entire basically free year to train as much as he could.

The hours passed quickly as Alan almost felt like time was flashing by him and he was stuck unmoving in some sort of dark sea, by the time he felt like his mind had cleared up once more, he was already sitting on the front passenger seat of the silver volvo whilst Edward Cullen was driving him towards Port Angeles, almost midnight by this point, the two of them being the only ones on the road as the trees flashed passed, the man thankfully for Alan drove normally, a complete difference from his experience with Alice.



After a few minutes on the road, Alan turned his head towards Edward and decided to start talking, make conversation to fill in the awkward silence however his mouth moved before his mind caught up to it and he spewed out the question that he had been thinking the most about.



"What are you going to do about Bella?" Alan asked, his gaze slightly turned towards the man, as soon as the words left his mouth however, his own eyes widened slightly as he instantly berated himself inside of his own mind, however it was already far too late to take the question back.



"What do you mean by what am I going to do with Bella?" Edward replied, not answering the question and instead replying with a question of his own as he kept his gaze forwards whilst he drove the volvo through the road.



'I guess I'll just ask at this point…' Alan thought to himself inside of his own mind as he firmed his intent and then asked aloud.



"I mean, she most definitely saw you using your vampire powers, what if she doesn't let it go? Isn't your secret at risk?" Alan asked as his eyes moved more firmly towards Edward for a moment before they returned to gaze at the treeline passing by once more through the window.



"I'll just tell her that she's being insane, it's not like she can even prove it or anything of the sort, no one would believe her in the first place. What I did… it was a risk to our security however the same thing can be said to Alice." Edward spoke, his voice somber and slightly less cold than usual as he drove the car.



"I guess in a way it can be said that Alice did the same thing however all of us know that I'm not exactly a regular human, and in my case, the reason for exposure wasn't exactly Alice's fault, more fault goes towards the damn Skinwalker thing and the Quileute." Alan replied as he shook his head.



'Bella and me aren't the same in any way, it's not even close, she resembles a regular human too much, besides the increased level however even then the level is far too low to actually be anything, atleast… I think so.' Alan thought to himself as his mind wandered back towards Bella Swan's Observation Skill results.



"She isn't exactly normal either." Edward replied and the second he did, Alan's head snapped towards him as his train of thought came to a screeching halt almost instantaneously.



"What do you mean by that?" Alan asked, his voice even gaining a slightly impatient edge, this could be information that was actually useful, if Edward knew what made Bella special, then maybe he could learn to find out people with those similar traits in the future from a simple level increase.



"I can't read her mind, just like I can't read yours." Edward replied to his question as his hands that were on the steering wheel tightened for a moment, causing a slight sound to come out of the wheel before he loosened his grip, his expression however still remained in that slightly frustrated look as he thought back to Bella.



"You… can't read her mind? And neither can you read mine?" Alan asked curiously as his eyebrows slightly rose up in confusion.



'Read her mind… right so his gift or special ability is mind reading and apparently me and this Bella Swan are exempt from its effects… she really isn't normal.'



"Do you have any reason as to why? Could she not be human?" Alan asked curiously, already much more involved in the conversation that he had been before.



"We believe… as in Carlisle and I believe that she has some sort of diluted gift, some kind of mind protection barrier ability, some humans have supernatural gifts though they are usually weak and not really noticeable, though most of them have… vanished or rather have been destroyed centuries ago now, the abilities usually get carried through genes however most of the people that did have the new mutations or gifts got killed during the witch hunting era. But as for your question of whether she is a human… she is, she smells like one." Edward replied as the car slowly started slowing down whilst more and more lights appeared in the distance as the city of Port Angeles got closer and closer.



'Witch hunts… gifts or rather abilities, humans can also posses them and they get carried through bloodlines or maybe some of them do, I still can't be exactly sure about that part, but they can also come from mutations and someone can be the first holder of them… would that make my system an ability or gift of that kind? No, it's not, my system is clearly sentient, I don't think something that was part of my blood to begin with would give me death penalties and… it just doesn't make sense in the first place. Just… what exactly do I have? What did I get? What even is it… so many damn questions. At least now I know that there can be certain humans with abilities, I should be more careful around them as well now, not just regular supernatural beings.' Alan thought to himself as he turned his gaze away from Edward and looked forwards towards the lights of the city.



Towards his new beginning.

The silver Volvo slowly entered the city roads that were mostly empty by this time of night, Port Angeles wasn't a major city with a bustling night life, causing its night roads to be mostly empty, the people having already fallen asleep to get ready for their mornings tomorrow.



The car drove through the main road before slowly driving to the left and through a narrower asphalt road that led to a less commercial part of the city, filled with medium apartment buildings on both sides of the road.



Finally after a dozen minutes that felt longer than they had any right to be in Alan's mind, the car slowly came to a stop, right before a large apartment complex that wasn't anything special, it was in fact quite similar to the rest of the apartment buildings surrounding it, it looked completely normal.



'I don't know if I was just expecting too much… but this is a bit disappointing, considering the mansion that these guys have in the middle of the woods, I thought that this would be some kind of penthouse apartment in the middle of the city, not this clearly at least twenty year old apartment building on almost the edges of it.' Alan thought to himself for a moment before he shook his head as he cleared his thoughts.



'No need to get greedy, I'm still getting to live here for at least a year with money for food and anything, it's still a steal, if only it wasn't handed to me by bloodsuckers but I guess nothing is perfect in this world.' Alan thought to himself as he opened the Volvo door and got up from his seat and stood outside the car, Edward swiftly following after him as the man came out of his own side and walked to stand next to Alan.



"This is it, I'll hand you the keys now and get going, the apartment number is on them." Edward said simply as he handed Alan a set of keys before turning around and heading back inside of his silver volvo.



The sound of the volvo driving away rang out merely moments later and after a while, it completely disappeared into the distance, swallowed by the darkness of the night.



Looking at the fading red tail-lights in the distance for a moment, Alan finally released a soft breath of relief before he turned his head back towards the apartment building and took his first step, following quickly by another and another as he headed into the building and walked directly towards the elevator that was conveniently placed right in front of him as soon as he entered through the front doors.



Pressing the button to call the elevator down, Alan glanced down at his hand for a moment as he stared at the key that he had been handed, attached to the key was a small stainless steel plate with the number 505 attached to it, showing that it was the fifth apartment on the fifth floor of the building.



*Ding*



With a bell-like sound, the elevator announced its arrival as the steel doors in front of him opened up and Alan headed inside of it. The elevator was simple, nothing special and nothing too basic either, it was normal, clearly the building was normal in almost every sense of the word.



'Likely got this in case that they were in hiding or needed a better place to stay in, in case that their identities got discovered or something of the sort.' Alan mussed inside of his own mind as he turned to the left where the buttons were and clicked the fifth floor and in a few seconds, the elevator doors started closing with a metallic sound before completely locking him inside of it.



The usual pressure that occurred when using an elevator soon came and in a few seconds it stopped as the bell-like sound rang once more and the metallic door opened once more… however the floor wasn't the fifth, not yet, the elevator had stopped at the third floor.



As the metallic doors opened, inside of the elevator came a white woman with long black hair, black makeup and overall a style that closely resembled a dark gothic style if not maybe an emo one.



"Hi there!" The woman said as she gave a nod of her head and stood to the side once she entered the elevator.



Alan gave a simple nod of his head towards the woman as he turned his gaze back to the buttons and clicked the close door button before the elevator doors closed once more and the elevator started rising once more.



"So… you're new? I'm Felicia." The woman, now having introduced herself as Felicia spoke as she gave a friendly smile towards Alan.



Turning his gaze back towards the woman once more, Alan's eyes narrowed for a moment before he nodded his head.



"Yeah, I just got this apartment a few days ago and I'm moving in right now actually, though I already have most of my stuff already inside. My name's Alan, Alan Walker." Alan spoke as the elevator kept rising, and then started slowly coming to a stop as it approached the fifth floor.



"Aren't you going to press your floor?" Alan asked as he gazed at the buttons, the woman had yet to press a single one to pick her destination since she had entered into the elevator.



"Ah… your right, I just got a bit confused sorry, happens all the time hahaha…" Felicia said in reply as she showed a seemingly warm smile before she clicked the eighth floor button.



"Right. Well this is my stop, see you around Felicia." Alan replied as the doors finally opened once more and the bell like sound rang once more, stepping out of the elevator and into the hallway of the fifth floor, Alan felt a shiver run through his body unexpectedly, turning his head to look back into the elevator, he noticed the woman still keeping that smile on her face, it looked normal… besides the fact that it wasn't changing at all, as if she had forgotten to remove her expression.



'What the…' Alan thought as he started to use his observation skill however before he could, the metallic doors of the elevator already closed as the figure of the woman disappeared.

'What the…' Alan thought as he started to use his observation skill however before he could, the metallic doors of the elevator already closed as the figure of the woman disappeared.



'What the hell was up with that woman…' Alan thought to himself in confusion as he slightly shook his head, the unnerving feeling still persisting as his mind instinctively told him that something about that encounter hadn't exactly been normal.



Turning back around once more, Alan slowly walked towards the end of the hallway until finally he came to a stop before his apartment door, looking up, there was a silver coloured stainless steel plate located at the top of the door, the number 505 reflecting off of it faintly for a moment.



Taking a deep breath, his mind still somewhat back at the elevator, Alan finally lifted his hand that was holding the key he had been given and put it in the hole before twisting it, the lock mechanism made a mechanical noise as it unlocked and with a light push, the door moved inwards and Alan could see inside of the apartment.



It looked modern, with good quality furnishings though the colours were rather bland if he had anything to say about it, the enter walls were coloured in a light off white colour and there was a large couch in the middle of the living room together with a kitchen and other decorations that were either variations of white, black or gray.



There was also a bedroom connected to the living room as well as a bathroom that was connected to the small hallway inside the apartment through a door to the left of it.



'It's… It's pretty decent.' Alan thought to himself as he walked towards the right side of the living room where there were windows that went from the ceiling to the floor and gave a clear sight of the road down below.



By the windows was also a small boxy radio that was clearly quite old however it was also the only piece of what Alan could call as entertainment in the entire apartment, there was nothing else, no TV, no computer, nothing.



'Well… as I said, it is better than nothing.' Alan muttered inside his mind as he clicked the button and turned on the radio, some light jazz music instantly being heard from it as it connected to a random music channel.



Turning his head, Alan looked at the couch for a moment and instantly started heading towards it before laying down on the couch and closing his eyes for a moment before they snapped open almost instantly as he muttered aloud.



"System Dungeon."



The holographic screen appeared almost instantly before him, floating in the air and perfectly located so that he could read every part of it without moving his head at all or strain himself.



[ System Dungeon. ]

[ Dummy Dungeon ] [ Level 1 ] [ Join ]



[ Slime Dungeon ] [ Level 5 ] [ Join ]



[ ??? Dungeon ] [ Level 50 ] [ Unavailable ]



[ ??? Dungen ] [ Level 100 ] [ Unavailable ]



…

..



Mentally clicking onto the Slime dungeon, the pop up confirmation window appeared almost instantly before him as usual, however… there was something different about it this time around…



[ Proceed into the Slime Dungeon ]



[ Yes ] [ Unavailable ] [ No ]



'Unavailable? What?' Alan thought in shock instantly as his body practically jumped up from the couch as he landed on his feet, his eyes had widened considerably as he looked down at the holographic screen in front of him.



Clicking on the Unavailable icon, another holographic screen appeared in front of him.



[ User is currently in a Supernatural Event Area. Whilst the Event is ongoing, he cannot physically leave. ]



'What… supernatural event area… what the fuck does that even mean.' Alan thought for a moment before his mind came to a screeching halt as the realisation hit him, something that he had just experienced merely a few minutes ago whilst in the elevator and when he had come out of it.



'That woman… I knew she wasn't normal, I knew it… this damned piece of shit. Why the hell can't I just have a single damn night where something isn't trying to kill me or just mess with me. A single night, it's all that I god damn ask for.' Alan thought in annoyance as he looked around himself at the room however nothing out of the ordinary appeared anywhere, in fact everything was normal, besides the fact that the system wasn't letting him enter the system dungeons.



Hours passed in this same manner as Alan sat down on the couch whilst his eyes swerved to the left and right almost constantly, however the mental toll that the day had taken on him, the fact that he had to move away from his childhood city, that he had been practically expelled and then been thrust into another utterly confusing situation right after finally took its hold on his body and mind as he fell asleep without even noticing it himself.



Opening his eyes, Alan found himself completely surrounded by water, in what looked to be the middle of a bright tropical ocean. Instantly he started swimming towards what he thought was the shore, for minutes on end, he kept swimming and swimming, the shore slowly coming into view, however the closer he came to the shore, the more he realised that there was something on that very same shore, some kind of dark shadowy figure that was looking directly at him.



'Alan Walker… we finally met.' The figure said as it smiled towards him, its voice seemed to be directly heard inside of Alan's mind as the figure had no apparent mouth or face on its body through which it could physically talk.

'Alan Walker… we finally meet.' The shadowy figure spoke as Alan finally managed to get his hands and feet on the shore in the middle of the dark seemingly endless ocean all around him.



'Where… where the hell am I?' Alan thought to himself as his head felt strangely confused, as if he couldn't quite remember what he had been doing, where he was and even slightly about who he was, it was as if a fog of confusion had consumed him the closer that he had gotten to the shadowy figure, however at the same time, it had felt that the only way he had to survive was come and swim towards this very shore, a series of contradicting emotions surging through his mind.



On one hand Alan felt like he was in terrible danger and that the only salvation was the shore, on the other hand the shore itself gave him an unnerving feeling that sent shivers down his spine, added on top of which was the confusion that had engulfed his mind.



"Who… who the hell are you." Alan asked aloud finally as he planted his hands firmly on the white sand and slowly rose his body up until he was somewhat standing before the figure.



Now that it was so close and that he was standing on somewhat firm ground, Alan could finally see just how large the shadowy figure had been, in the distance it hadnt looked that large however now that he was next to it, he could clearly see that the figure was taller than two meters, taller than any other humanoid creature that he had seen until now. He had thought that Emmet Cullen was already a bear like man with his stature, however the figure made Emmet look like a mere stick figure in comparison.



'Observe' Alan thought however… the holographic screen didn't appear infornt of him, infact the system didn't respond at all, no matter what other holographic screens that Alan tried to pull forwards, none of them reacted at all, it was as if the system no logner existed at all.



"I see… you're trying to pull forwards the System right now correct? I suppose it isn't reacting at this moment. As for your earlier question… I don't think it is the right time yet for me to introduce myself completely however what I can say is that, I am someone extremely close to you, or maybe you can say that I am some thing… instead." The figure spoke, this time the voice was heard both inside of Alan's own mind, the words seemingly forming into his head but at the same time… the voice had come out of the shadowy figure aswell.



It was a confusing mess of a voice, it sounded eerily similar to something that had combined multiple voices and then used them simultaneously to speak, some parts of its voice sounded young as if a child was speaking whilst other parts were as if a middle aged man or even an elderly was talking towards Alan. The combined mess of these voices seemingly resonated throughout the ocean and the small sand island in the middle of it where Alan and the figure stood.



Alan's own mind had no thoughts left anymore, they had all vanished, all of them, the second that the dark figure had spoken, it wasn't because of the strange unnerving voice coming out of it, it was because of what words the thing had spewed out, it was because of the fact that the thing had just casually talked about the system, right infront of him. A secret that Alan was sure he had never told anyone, because the system would have instantly killed or maybe even erased Alan from existence had he ever talked about it.



Finally after a few long seconds where silence reigned in the surrounding area, Alan's expression changed from a completely blank one to one a complete and utter panic, his mouth opening up as the shock finally caught up to him, his feet taking him a few steps away from the figure whilst his hands and arms were shaking violently as he pulled them up and forward in a sort of defensive posture.



"System… how do you know about the system. Who are you. What the fuck are you. What do you mean that you're someone or something extremely close to me. Fucking explain you piece of shit." Alan shouted, his voice shaking in pure fear induced rage as his entire body shook, he could barely form out the words from the shock and the fear coursing through him, his mouth turning sloppy as spittle flew out of it with each shouted out word that came out of his mouth.



The figure didn't seem to mind the loud volume or the shouting and threatening at all however, it wasn't like it even had a face for Alan to see if any changes had occurred to its expression in the first place, the figure simply raised its left palm up as if to make a calming motion towards Alan.



"I told you… those are questions that I cannot answer yet, however what I can answer is that I will be helping you… to survive what is coming. Remember this well… when you wake up from this slumber… you will be back in that apartment… no matter…. No…. no…. Matter…." The figure started speaking slower and slower as its words started turning less intelligible whilst the world around it and Alan started changing.



The dark blue ocean around them turning thicker, its colour swiftly starting to change into a bloody crimson whilst the entire world around them started shaking, the sky swiftly changing into a deep purple whilst thousands of cracks appeared on it.



The final words that Alan heard before he woke up were…



"Do… not… trust… the…."

*Gasp*



With a loud gasping sound, Alan found himself back inside of his apartment living room, still laid on the couch though his upper body had risen, his chest rising up and down quickly as he slowly came down from the panic that was currently coursing through his body.



'What… what the hell was that?' Alan thought to himself as his breaths slowly started to calm down whilst his mind wandered back to what had just happened.



His mind still felt somewhat foggy, the memories of the dream that he had just had already starting to turn slightly confusing however there was one thing that he could still remember clearly as day and that was the last words that the shadowy figure had uttered towards him as the world had broken down and he had woken up.



'Do not trust… do not trust what? What exactly was that thing trying to warn me about?' Alan thought to himself, it was at this moment however that the jazz music that had still been playing on the radio at the small round table by the floor to ceiling windows started turning into static instead.



Getting up from the living room couch, Alan slowly walked towards the table and looked outside, it had already become morning, he had likely slept for a few hours though he did not know how many exactly, the world outside however was bright, though not sunny, infact the entire street seemed to be engulfed in some kind of white fog that almost swallowed half of the buildings on the street.



'That… certainly doesn't look nice, especially with how the system isn't working and the fact that another being came inside of my dreams and warned me about something whilst at the same time talking about the system which no one should know anything about.' Alan thought to himself whilst he looked at the street, the static that was coming from the radio at that very moment cleared up as the voice coming from it changed.



Even though the static had cleared up, the radio didn't go back to releasing the sound of jazz music like it had before once more, instead the voice that came out of it was a masculine voice, someone talking formally like a teleprompter of sorts.



"Ladies and gentleman, a military site has recently exploded in the area and the resulting gases have spread, the police and fire fighting forces and even part of the military has been deployed to deal with the situation. Please do not leave your houses in the meanwhile as it could be dangerous, whilst this situation is ongoing, the entire city will be on lockdown. I repeat once more, do not leave your houses or apartments." The teleprompter voice said through the buzzing radio whilst Alan's eyes slowly but surely widened in both shock and confusion.



'There are no military bases anywhere near here, at least none that I know of, and at the same time, an explosion of that size that would have caused the city to be affected by gases would most certainly have been heard, however I heard nothing yesterday. And the supernatural events that happened… wait… could this be?' Alan thought as his mind whirred into action, going through everything that had happened to him until now and then he finally reached a conclusion that he was certain was most likely to be the case of what was happening around him.



'The system said that I cannot enter the system dungeon because currently I'm partaking in some kind of supernatural event and thus I cannot teleport my body out of it. This entire scenario, the military thing exploding, the radio, the shadowy figure and the falling asleep and dreaming of the ocean and everything about this…. It's all part of the event or the scenario… this could be system related instead of… something that is caused by some other real supernatural creature, that would also be why I cannot leave, because if the system itself created this scenario then it would also have the ability to interfere with other system functions such as the dungeons whilst something real like what happened with that damn skin-walker couldn't do anything about the system.' Alan thought as he slowly came to a conclusion before his brain finally came to another realisation, that cemented his thoughts about the entire situation even further.



'And the reason as to how that shadowy figure knew about the system and how I have yet to die even though the system has been exposed to another person besides myself… that also explains it, if the system is behind this entire thing, then it all makes sense.' Alan thought before he shook his head for a moment and then looked back down at the street for another moment before walking way only to notice a note on another table that he hadn't noticed yesterday.



'Not that I didn't notice… that table wasn't there yesterday when I slept, I'm more than sure of it, my intelligence stat is way too high for me to forget something like that.' Alan thought for a moment before he walked to the table.



The table was of a simple dark wood circular design. On it was a piece of paper with a few numbers written on it whilst a phone was located on the wall right above the table.



+XX XXX XXXX - Security.



Looking down at the number written on the paper and then up at the phone, Alan gave a shrug before taking the phone in his hand and pressing the numbers written on the paper quickly and then clicking on the call button.



*Ring…*



*Ring…*



*Ring…*



The phone rang three times before a clicking noise was heard from the phone as the call connected to the other side of the line.

The phone rang three times, three long times where Alan could practically hear the sound of his heart iinside of his own ears before the call to the security line finally connected.



"Hello? Security here." The voice on the other side of the line spoke, it was clearly a man's voice, sounding quite old though not exactly elderly, if Alan had to judge, he would likely say that the voice belonged to a fourty of fifty year old man.



"Hello, calling from room 505 currently, I was just calling to ask about the situation and whats happening." Alan spoke as he brought the phone closer to his mouth.



For a few moments, silenece reigned on the phone line, no reply coming to Alan after he had finished his question, finally after a while, the voice on the other side of the line spoke once more.



"I… did not expect for there to be more survivors… have you been outside yet?" The voice of the man said slowly, it almost looked like it was completely coloured in an emotion of disbelief as it spoke towards Alan.



"What… do you mean by that? No… I havn't been outside and yeah I'm… alive." Alan spoke as he tilted his head at what the voice had said over the phone line.



"I see… well let me explain then… no matter what you do, do not open your apartments front door, no matter what you hear, no matter what, under no circumstances should you open your door without me telling you to. There are things out there, in the halls, that would not take likely to you going out and looking at them… I currently still have access to the security cameras around the apartment building and as such have atleast some ability in telling you when it is safe for you to head out and try and get as many supplies as you can from other apartments." The voice of the man spoke, its tone was grave as it talked about the hallways and the apparent danger that seemed to have come inside of the building.



'There's something out there that's killing people?… just because people are looking at it or maybe it has some other kind of reason.' Alan thought to himself as he took a deep breath and gave a nod, though the man on the other side of the line wouldn't be able to see that he had nodded.



"Do you know what those things are? The ones roaming around the hallways." Alan spoke softly, his voice tight however it didn't tremble nor was it colored in fear as one might have expected from a reguar person in his situation, Alan had stopped being normal for a while now aftearall.



"You're taking this better than I expected you to take it." The voice spoke for a moment before silence emerged once more as the man on the other side seemed to think for a moment of the best way it could explain what was happening outside without sounding utterly insane.



"You don't need to worry about me not beliving in your story, I will. Just saying that in case that was your concern on the matter." Alan spoke before the man could continue his words as he interrupted his line of thought.



"Ah… yes, that was actually what I was thinking about, the story is a bit… how do I say this… nonsensical? But since you already said that… ill just be upfront with you, the rest of the people who lived inside of this apartment building have gone insane, most of them atleast thought some are still alive I think… what I heard is that it was appaerantly some kind of mental virus that makes them go insane and in some cases even changes their appearance to be one that resembles monsters. The signs are simple to notice, nose bleeding, seeing hallucinations, your mind fogging up and overall confusion, those are the first signs of the sickness." The man on the other side of the phone line said, his voice seemed slightly tinged in fear whilst also carrying a tone of almost… reminiscience as if the man was remembering something whilst he was talking.



'A mental hex… I've already dealt with mental hex's before… damned… still, something that makes the people go insane and in severe cases even trasnforms their bodies, I should look and see if I have any of the symptoms if anything does happen… considering that the system is being even more uncooporative since I woke up, with it not even letting me open the status menu… I should most defiently be as careful as possible with anything around here.' Alan thought to himself as he realsed a soft hum of his voice in agreement towards the man.



"I see… who are the other survivors?" Alan asked curiously, however before the man on the other line could respond, a loud screaming sound was heard from outside of Alan's own apartment, the sound was clearly close, clearly someone was screaming… or rather something was.



"Shit…. No matter what you do, do not make a sound, I'm ending the call now, stay silent. Do not move." The man spoke in a rush before the ding sound was heard as the call disconnected.



Slowly lifting the telephone back up and placing it back at its place on the wall, Alan slowly walked towards the front door of the apartment and leaned in towards the small eyehole to look out…
