Re: Twilight Gamer ( Twilight / The Gamer )

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.
