Capítulo 78: Vampiric Secret
"Alex are you..." Bella asked as she faced her brother.
Alex didn't answer for a moment, the words he needed to say were so short but they seemed too heavy as if they were a large boulder.
His throat dry, Alex spat the words out.
The secret was finally gone.
"Yes, I'm a Vampire Bella"
Alex's eyes stared into Bella's own as their color changed.
The Crimson took over the black as if it were the moonlight on the darkness of the night.
Bella's mouth opened as she stared at Alex in shock.
She had felt it comming, somewhere deep in her mind she already knew when they arrived here.
She had been denying it, lying to her own mind.
The next few seconds were silent, no one talked, the only sound being Bella's and Alex's breaths.
"But how?" Bella finally asked as she extended her arm and touched Alex's face.
Rubbing over the skin under his eyes, Bella said, her expression still muted from the shock.
"How are you a vampire if you can eat food, how is your skin normal?" Bella asked as she dragged her hand down to his chest.
"How is your heart still beating Alex? This doesn't make any sense. How can you be a vampire?" Bella continued to ask as she touched Alex's body all over, trying to make sense of his words but she fell flat.
*Sigh*
Releasing a slow sigh, Alex finally opened his mouth once more to voice his thoughts.
"It's because I'm a different race of vampire from the Bella. That's why I can hide my eye color, it's why I look so human." Alex said as he grabbed Bella's hand and held it in his own.
"I know this is confusing Bella but I'm sure you can get through it," Alex said as he looked into his sister's eyes.
Then he heard a voice, it was a snicker.
"Get through it? What's there to get through? Her brother's a monster."
Turning his head, Alex saw it had been Rosalie who had talked.
Furrowing his brows, Alex directed hateful eyes towards the vampiress.
"Why? You say it's a monster but why are vampires monsters?" Alex asked as he stared straight into her eyes.
Rosalies expression turned grave as she looked at Alex as if he was the dumbest person on earth.
"Do I even have to explain that to you? We can only live on blood, the only way for us to even be able to exist is by being leeches to others. We can barely control ourselves around anything living that has blood" Rosalie said as she took a step forward toward Alex.
Alex simply stared at her for a moment and then nodded.
"Sure, Vampires need to drink the blood of others to survive but don't humans need to as well? Humans need to kill animals to get meat to survive, don't they? You could call plants life as well and they eat those too, don't they? Vampires aren't monsters they're just normal creatures" Alex said as he got up from the couch and stood in front of Rosalie.
Rosalie gave another hateful stare and then asked one last question.
"We can't even reproduce, we are simply dead bodies moving around. Is that also normal Alex?"
Alex nodded, causing Rosalie's frown to increase.
"It's because you're still thinking like a human, we aren't humans and will never be one again. Vampires reproduce by infecting other humans and other creatures. That's a vampire's reproductive system" Alex said whilst looking at Rosalie's eyes which seemed so fragile when he was so close.
Alex had given up on his frown and barely held the pity he felt inside.
'She's just a broken woman' Alex thought and turned to look at the others around him.
"I respect everyone here, All of you resist the urges to be able to coexist in a world with humans. But I also have disagreements. We aren't humans and we never will be" Alex said as he turned around and walked back to the couch.
"Yesterday night was a mistake, Alice, it was a mistake on my part. I was wrong. My path was wrong." Alex said as he faced the pixie who had yet to say another word.
Alice simply smiled at Alex, the smile alone gave more than Alex thought a thousand words would.
"I don't agree with how power had gotten into my head, how I failed to control the urge to kill, to stomp on someone else. That's why I'm sorry"
Alex extended his hand to the woman.
"I thought about it and I'm still mad, I'm still angry at the fact that I was wrong. It's childish but I want to move on. Will you help me, Alice?"
Alice's smile grew as she took his hand.
"Can you guys get a room already?" Emmet said as he looked at them.
"I know right Emmet? Like come on we dont wanna see that." Edythe said with a grin on her face.
Alex's face flushed as he turned to look at the two.
"It's not like that damn it. I was just asking for help, nothing else" Alex said as he looked at the two vampires.
"Right, of course, it wasn't like that brother, I'm sure if I tell Charlie how you worded that out, he will totally believe you," Bella said as she got up on her feet.
A small smile was on her face as she neared Alex.
"And you being a vampire doesn't really change much in the end, does it? You have been a vampire for a while and I haven't noticed anything have I?" Bella said as she looked at her brother.
Alex nodded, his chest strangely felt tight at this moment.
"That means nothing has changed, in fact you told me a secret about yourself, all that changed is that we have a better relationship now."
"Right, that's so damn cheesy to say though, and you said it with a straight face," Alex said as he looked at his sister, a grin had developed on his face.
"Look who's saying that, Prince Charming," Emmet said as he joined them.
