The words aswell Needs to be separated to "as well". Because it seems to be consistently spelled like that.

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."
