The girl before him, almost looked vulnerable, or maybe he was just imagining it, but sitting there before her, Alan finally decided, if he wanted her as a friend, a real one, he had to change himself, he had to adapt and learn how to deal with his fear, with the new world he had been thrust into and the new people inside it. He couldn't let fear control him anymore.



He had already taken steps forwards, by being able to face the monstrosity that was Jeannie, but now he needed to continue, he needed to keep taking steps further, needed to continue evolving as a person as well, and not just in pure power.



"So, you certainly look different, but you said that you can't tell me how or what… and I'd rather you just said that instead of lying again Alan… but I do have to say… you really do look quite good." Alice said softly as her lips twitched upwards by the end of her sentence as she tiled her head and propped it up with one hand on the table.



"Thanks, it's still nowhere near you and your family though, ya'll kinda look like extreme supermodels or something." Alan muttered with a chuckle as he shook his head.



Time passed swiftly without either of them noticing it, the minutes feeling like seconds as the two slowly got caught up in conversing with each other, for a while, both of them felt like nothing else existed, like only the two of them existed in the world. Like nothing else mattered. And as the saying went, when you were enjoying yourself, time passed by without you even noticing it.



*Riiinnng!*



The bell signaling the end of the lunch period rang out with a loud shrill like sound.



Alan who had been leaning towards Alice, entirely caught up with her as she had been explaining about some random clothes and fashion brand that she had found at this store in Port angeles, jolted slightly.



His eyes widening in shock as he turned his gaze towards the bell that was ringing on the wall behind him.



Alan lifted his arm behind his head as he scratched his neck awkwardly.



"Man… I really didn't notice the time. Guess, I gotta head out. Oh, right before I go, I noticed your brother talking with Bella, Bella Swan or something. I thought he hated her, what changed?" Alan asked curiously, his voice clearly amused as his eyes turned to notice that not only had Bella and Edward been talking earlier, they had even been seated together on a table in the cafeteria and were now getting up slowly together.



Alice who was next to him and similarly getting up from her seat, shook her head, her excitement and amusement clearly visible in her expression.



"Oh him? Yeah, he's a bit of a weirdo, and yes, I did hear you calling him that once. But yeah, he was just in a bad mood last week and was sick and so he thought she smelled bad or something and later found out that everything smelled bad because he was indeed sick, and when he got well better, he felt really bad about his reaction to her so he went to apologise this morning, and as you see, they seem to be doing decently." Alice said as she hid her smile behind the palm of her hand.



"Riight… he thought that she smelled like shit. I mean, I did notice him scrunching his nose on that day in biology… but wait, what if she does indeed smell like shit and he just fucked up today and now he has to act nice because he already went and apologised once." Alan muttered in a whisper towards Alice, his expression changing into a smirk as he looked at Edward and Bella.



Edward who had been getting up with her, stiffened for a moment before his eyes turned towards Alan for but a split second, it was so fast that Alan thought he might have imagined it but he was sure that the guy had just given him the meanest death glare that he had seen in a while.



'Oh, oh damn, he's annoyed but it's so damn funny. Can't laugh though, I just finished a supernatural enemy, I don't need an enemy of an entire family.' Alan thought to himself amusedly as he tried very had to keep his lips from twitching.



Meanwhile Alice didn't seem to have any reason to hold back as she started laughing, peals of laughter that rang out in the cafeteria that was slowly dwindling of students as they headed out of the hall to go towards their respective classes.



It was at that moment as he was basking in what he felt was the most beautiful laughter that he had heard in his life that he heard an eruption of laughter from the other side of the room, horizontal to his and Alice's position.



It was a booming laughter that echoed throughout the cafeteria.



Emmet Cullen, looked like he was fighting a losing battle with himself as he was almost doubled over with laughed by the Cullens.



Jasper Hale who was next to him, held a twitching smile on his face whilst Rosalie Hale, his sister looked as if she wanted to strangle someone, or more precisely her rumored boyfriend, Emmet.



"Ah… that was a good one Alan, I'm going to tell that to my parents and I am so going to hold it over Edwards head, for like, the next decade." Alice replied with a chuckle as she wiped a nonexistent tear under her left eye with the tip of her index finger.



"Right… it was funny but not exactly that funny. You're over exaggerating, are you making fun of my jokes now?" Alan said as he lifted an eyebrow as he and Alice started walking out of the cafeteria hall.



"I am not, you don't get it, Edward's always serious, like always, so him getting stuck with someone because he apologised and now can't do it again or doesn't want to seem like a real asshole, is like a really realistic and possible outcome. I have to ask him if its true tonight when he comes home." Alice replied as she shook her head, amused.

Time seemed to pass swiftly, the two of them heading towards their next classes, talking with each other, the sight from the morning almost being forgotten completely, at least for the moment. It seemed that everything was going perfectly.



A few hours later, it was the end of the school day, the last bell ringing, signaling the students that It was time to head home.



*Riiingggg*



Getting up from his seat next to the windows inside the biology classroom, Alan turned his head to look at what the two most interesting people of the class were doing.



Today had been a sort of test, where the Biology professor had asked the students to form groups of two with the people next to their desks so that they could look at some cells in a microscope. Alan had just paired up with a random girl next to him that he hadn't even bothered asking the name of. Meanwhile on the desk closeby to him, two people had gotten paired up together, two people that just a week ago, he would have never guessed would become a team.



'Bella Swan and Edward Cullen huh? To be honest, I didn't expect them to get together… though they were talking, is Edward really… okay with her now?' Alan thought to himself in confusion, the change in his behaviour was so stark from last week that he honestly had no words about it.



'Maybe he's really bipolar? Does he have a split personality or some shit?' Alan thought to himself curiously before shaking his head as he released a sigh.



'Yeah, let's just… pretend that those two and them being friends is completely normal, and in a way it is… compared to all the other crazy shit. But Bella Swan huh… now that I have more time, maybe I could look into why her level is so high? I mean its almost at my level and I've done quite a lot of shit, I'm not even human at this point… just what is so special about her that Edward, a Cullen is now suddenly interested in her? Just what… does she have?' Alan thought curiously as his mind wandered back to what he had heard during the class.



'She is smart enough, and from what I overheard, she was in the advanced program for biology back in Pheonix, that's a much bigger school than the one here in Forks, so she's definetly smart or atleast book smart.' Alan thought as he hummed to himself and then released a shrug as he got up and stretched, the other students had already mostly headed out of the class, leaving him behind with a few others that were caught up in conversations with their friends as they slowly headed out of the classroom.



'Still… I don't think I should worry too much about finding out about her, just a few more levels and maybe one more advancement in my race or my observation skill and I should get strong enough that I could just straight up use observe and find out all about her.' Alan thought as he started walking out of the classroom.



His current goals were at the moment taking this first day easy, after the last week, he atleast wanted one day as vacation to simply calm down after all of the craziness that had happened. After that, he had already made plans.



'Slowly progress my relationship with Alice Cullen and maybe at one point start asking her more about the supernatural world, she's clearly been it for longer than I have, much longer most likely considering they're vampires and then also continue leveling up, though I can't do grinding sprees where I don't come to school at all, I'll just have to start leveling up at night, and at the same time, I could start to use potions, like stamina potion so that I don't actually have to sleep every day for the entire week, I could lower my sleeping time to around three days a week or four.' He thought as he nodded to himself.



A few minutes later, after walking through the school halls and dodging every single student who was still looking at him with confused eyes at his dramatic appearance change, Alan arrived back at the parking lot.



Looking around, he quickly found Alice Cullen who was standing next to the silver volvo and the red jeep together with the rest of her family, they seemed to be talking about something amongst themselves but for the first time, they didn't seem to be arguing as much as they had when he had been focused on them during the last week.



'I guess they sorted out whatever problems they had?' Alan thought curiously however it was then that he noticed, Edward Cullen separating from Bella Swan and heading towards the rest of the Cullens.



The instant that he did, Rosalie Hale changed her expression almost completely , instead of the almost absentminded expression that she had been showing, it changed into one of what Alan could only guess was pure coldness and even a slight amount of hate.



'So… it changed from her hating Alice to her hating Edward? Does she ever do anything beside hate? What a bitch…' Alan thought to himself as he shook his head, it was at that moment that Alice noticed him standing at the front doors of the school and raised her hand, giving Alan a friendly wave.



Alan reciprocated with a wave before motioning with his head that he would be heading home. The pixie like woman simply nodded as she gave him a smile and then turned to once again talk with her family members.



Turning around, Alan started heading back towards his apartment, his steps slow and yet sure, light as air, not a single sound being made as he walked on the concrete path out of the school and into the town.



'Just… need to get a good night's sleep and then I'll deal with whatever tomorrow brings.' Alan thought to himself.

Time passed swiftly, the sun falling and then rising up again after twelve hours, it was now six in the morning, the clouds had gotten worse and the entire city of forks was engulfed in snow.



Waking up, Alan slowly rose from his bed, his hair a complete mess from having had nightmares throughout the entire night, it wasn't something he had expected, during the past days he hadn't had any nightmares, simply for the fact that whenever he slept, he was so tired that his brain didn't even have the energy to conjure any sort of nightmares.



But yesterday had finally been a sort of rest day, even though it hadn't exactly started perfectly with Alice looking at him like a piece of meat or some kind of fawn that had fallen into a trap. It had soon changed to be one of the calmest days that he had since last week.



Getting up from the bed and quickly changing into a pair of clothes that he found were good enough so that he didn't look like a homeless bum but just an almost homeless bum instead. He quickly headed into his bathroom and cleaned his teeth before turning to head out of his apartment.



Walking down the stairs and then into the road, Alan finally noticed the snow that he hadn't noticed until he had finally gone down onto the street below.



Looking down at himself and his light jacket, Alan released a soft sigh of pure exhaustion, he didn't like the snow, no it was more like he hated it. He didn't have any good jackets that were warm enough when snow fell and usually he would spend the entire time freezing until he arrived at school or came back to his apartment.



'Damned it… I have to find some way to get cash and buy some shit… maybe I should try modeling? At this point, I definetly look good enough to do it.' Alan thought to himself as he walked down the street, the side walk and the road were icy and if it had just been a few days ago, he was sure that he would have already fallen down face first into the ground already, but ever since his partial evolution, he felt like his own movement had a complete change.



It wasn't just the fact that he made no sound whilst walking, as if he was a cat, it was the fact that his control over his own bodily movements had reached a level he didn't even think had been possible for himself even if he had trained his entire life.



His steps on the ice was soft, silent and utterly precise, not a single slip, not even in the slightest happened even though his boots weren't exactly made to protect him from slipping on ice.



Half an hour later, he finally arrived at the school once more. He noticed that the rest of the students had almost all arrived and were currently in the parking lot as in any other day, talking with eachother. His gaze caught itself on Bella Swan and her large orange truck, it was quite striking in comparison to the other student cars.



'Can she even see from behind the wheel?' Alan thought to himself amusedly as he started walking when he noticed a white van heading down the road, the speed it was going at was quite high though it didn't seem to be slipping, so Alan casually crossed the road and kept walking through the parking lot.



His head turned to face the entrance of the school, a dozen meters ahead of him, it was at that moment as he was walking however that he heard a sound. It was jarring in comparison to the bustling sounds of students talking and engines idling by in the parking lot.



*Screeechhh*



It was the sound of rubber tires screeching on asphalt as van behind him lost control. His head turned in an instant towards the direction of the noise, as he precisely located the place where the sound was coming from.



Fighting against the shining yellow slimes had made him in a way extremely sensitive to any sort of alarming sounds, because he had to be, if he was even a single second late, it usually would result in him having his eardrums exploded and his equilibrium system going to complete shit.



Alan's eyes widened as he quickly noticed the trajectory the white van was taking, it was swerving directly towards the orange truck, directly towards Bella Swan. There was no time, the van was going too fast, and Bella wasn't moving, she looked like a deer in highlights, standing there in shock.



"JUMP!" Alan screamed however it didn't do anything, the girl was too caught up in the sight of the van heading towards her.



'Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, I don't wanna see another fucking dead body damned it.' Alan thought to himself as he started moving, trying to run, however he already knew, he knew that he stood no chance, he was too far away, and he wasn't nearly fast enough to reach her.



It was at that moment however, as the van was about to fully engulf Bella Swan's figure, that Alan noticed a blur, it was a blur of pure speed that reached Bella in what seemed to be like a fraction of a second.



Alans eyes widened in pure shock as his eyes finally caught the figure once it had stopped, it was barely visible from his current position, but he was quite sure that he wasn't seeing wrong.



'Edward… Cullen.' Alan thought in his mind, the shock of the sight causing a shiver to pass through his entire body as the sound of the van colliding with something almost metallic or stone-like rang out.



*Crash*



And then the van stopped, its front turned slightly to the side.



The second it did, screams started in the parking lot as students either remained frozen or quickly rushed towards the site.



'Just… how… strong are they?' Alan thought inwardly…
