Bab 111: Own Path
"His name was James," Alex said finally, the name resounding around the walls of the room as the Cullens kept still.
Insanely still at that, truly a showcase of their inhumanity.
"James? The one that you killed today?" Carlisle asked as he looked at Alex.
Alex turned to face the man and gave him a shallow nod.
"That's right, the same man that you all saw on the field today," Alex said, his voice showing his confidence.
"I see, so he's already gone huh," Alice said as she nodded her head slowly.
Finally, she lifted her head once more and stared into Alex's black-as-the-abyss eyes and gave him a smile.
"Thank you, Alex," Alice said, her voice as soft and velvety as always, to Alex her words felt like honey as her voice flowed into his ears.
"I..." Alex started before shaking his head lightly.
In the end, he only replied with a nod of his head.
"That's all I know about your past Alice, the rest you have memories of," Alex said finally, feeling the tightness in his throat lessen once he had finally said everything he had wanted to say.
"Thank you for telling me about this Alex, really" Alice said before she stood up from the couch.
"I'd like some time to myself to fully process this entire memory dump however so I'll be going to my room, if you need me for anything just come inside," Alice said as she looked at Alex.
"All right" Alex replied as he patted her shoulder lightly and watched her head up the stairs.
Turning back toward the rest of the Cullens, Alex continued.
"That was the main reason why I didn't want to let James live. I'll be honest, it wasn't about Alice's past. I was just afraid to let him even notice my sister, if something had happened to her when I could have prevented it, I wouldn't have been able to get it out of my dreams forever, I really wouldn't want to live my immortality with bags of regret upon my shoulders" Alex said and waited for a reaction, a word, any reaction.
But he was met with nothing from the Cullens for a few seconds.
It was even to the point that Alex wondered if he had somehow massively messed something up.
"Even if you didn't do it for Alice, even if it was your own selfish wish, Alex. You still protected Bella and even took revenge against someone who has caused Alice great pain" Esme spoke up for the first time since Alex had started talking about Alice's past.
Getting up, Esme walked to Alex and gave him a hug.
Maybe there would have even been tears dripping down her face but vampires didn't have that luxury.
"Thank you, and don't judge yourself too harshly will you? I'm sure Bella will understand that you did it for her own good." Esme said as she parted the hug and looked deep into Alex's eyes with her own soft amber ones.
"Right," Alex said as he looked anywhere but her face, the situation made him feel quite embarrassed.
Suddenly they heard a large sound as Emmet got up with a start.
"Even if she doesn't you still have us Alex so don't worry!" Emmet said loudly.
Edythe, Jasper, and Rosalie turned their sight to Emmet, their gazes looking down upon him as if he was some kind of bug on the street.
'Not the time Emmet, not the time' Edythe thought.
"Right," Emmet said and then sat back down on the couch quietly, he really didn't seem to like the look Rosalie had given him especially.
"Thank you and I really appreciate that you all think so highly of me," Alex said and then took a deep breath.
"I probably won't be around this summer as I'm planning to explore around and just find my own path I guess, but I'll be back by the start of next September when high school starts again," Alex said finally as he looked at them, deep in his eyes everyone in the room could see Alex's appreciation for them.
It wasn't something they were used to seeing, usually anyone outside of their family would see them as a monster, or they wouldn't even dare to look at them in the eyes.
It was something new but it wasn't bad, in fact, they all enjoyed it immensely.
Even a little show of appreciation can be a lot to lonely people like the Cullens who had outlived what any human lifespan would last.
They were jaded, even Esme but they still tried to maintain their peaceful life instead of becoming something like the Volturi.
Alex felt like he was just a jagged piece of another puzzle that was trying to fit into an oil painting.
He knew, deep down that he wasn't like them. He felt pleasure and joy when trampling upon others weaker than him, he often times felt like the right choice for any problem was force.
And the Cullens clearly had a different philosophy from him.
That didn't mean they couldn't get along, it simply meant that they had different paths.
'It's time that I carve out my own spot in this world' Alex thought as he looked at the ceiling for a moment and then got up.
"It's almost morning, I'll be going now," Alex said as he stood up and looked at the Cullens.
Suddenly a black blur appeared before him, before finally stopping.
It was Alice, she was looking at him with a face that promised hell to pay.
"What do you mean you're leaving after all that? You can't be serious" Alice said as she took his hand.
Alex simply gave her a light smile and a chuckle.
"I'm not leaving forever, it's only three months, isn't it? To us, three months is less than what a day is to humans." Alex said as he looked at his mate, his other half.
Alice stood there for a moment before releasing a large exaggerated sigh.
"You couldn't even let me think about what you just told me and now you release another bomb like this," Alice said but then made a shooing motion with her hand.
"Go, if you stay longer I feel like I'll chain you up," Alice said, her voice sounded so serious that Alex had to do a double take as he looked at her, shock evident on his face.
"All right" Alex said as he gave a wave to the rest of the Cullens who were still standing there confused, the situation had progressed so quickly that it was hard to take in all at once.
When Alex arrived at the front door, he turned to look at Alice and gave her a mischievous smile.
"I don't know what fetishes you have Alice but I'm not into chains, I could chain you up if you wanted though," Alex said with a teasing tone and then disappeared.
The whole mansion was left in silence.
"That bastard had to get the last word huh" Alice said however her face showed a contrary expression to her words, there was a smile on her face with eyes that appeared sad, sad that Alex's presence wasn't around anymore.

A few more chapters and Alex will start his three-month journey, this will mostly be with stuff I create so there won't be much twilight plot involved, there will be the occasional twilight character but it will mostly just be Alex creating his own path.

Bab 112: Goodbye
Alex started running into the forest and toward his house, he had of course not forgotten to remove his shoes.
'I do not want to go through the hassle of buying another pair' Alex thought as he ran whilst holding the shoes in his hands.
The run was quick and soon enough he could see the woods surrounding his house.
'What do I tell Charlie and Bella? That I'm just going to be gone for three months?' Alex thought and sat down on a rock nearby.
'I could do this easily by just using daze on then but that just doesn't seem right. Bella is already scared of me, if I use daze and she somehow finds out later then it's going to be one hell of a crash Alex thought as he rubbed his forehead.
*sigh*
Releasing one long sigh Alex got up.
'I'll just tell them I'm going to explore to world and just travel, school ends next week so I won't have to worry about that. My grades are already done.' Alex thought as he decided against lying to Bella and Charlie.
Putting his shoes on, Alex started walking slowly to his house.
It was still early in the morning, so Alex decided not to rush in immediately. Thankfully, because he was so early, Charlie would still be there and hadn't gone to work just yet.
After about half an hour of walking Alex finally arrived at his house.
Walking up the stairs, he opened the front door and headed inside.
The time was six am in the morning.
Inside the living room, Alex heard the sound of the morning news on the television.
Just as he had thought, Charlie was already awake and ready for work.
Taking off his shoes, he put them in the drawer and headed into the living room.
"Hey Dad, good morning," Alex said as he gave the man a wave.
Charlie had already turned to face him by the time he had come into the living room.
"Good morning son, you're back so early?" Charlie said and questioned as he looked at Alex confused.
"Doctor Carlisle offered to drop me off whilst he headed to work," Alex said as he lied through his teeth, his face showed no indication of the lie, after many tries he had finally gotten rid of the habit he had of rubbing the back of his neck whilst lying.
"Oh, that's nice of him. Do you want to eat anything? There's some pica left over from yesterday" Charlie said as he motioned to the kitchen with his head.
Alex shook his head and walked to the couch, sitting next to Charlie.
"There's something I have to tell you, about a trip I'm planning," Alex said as he faced Charlie.
Charlie nodded his head telling him to continue.
"I'm planning on going around and visiting some cities and just exploring for this summer until the next year of school starts and I just wanted to tell you," Alex said as he looked at the police chief.
Charlie didn't react for a moment and even when he did his voice was calm.
It was strange to Alex, much too different from how his previous life parents would have reacted.
"Alright Alex, you can go on the trip but have you prepared? Do you have a car to go there, where will you be staying, do you have enough money? If you don't just tell me and I'll help you out." Charlie said to Alex as he nodded his head.
Alex didn't reply for a moment, caught off guard by what Charlie had said.
'Just like that?' Alex thought and then he finally gave Charlie a nod.
"I'll be going by bus to most places so I don't need a car and it will be cheaper too, as for where I'm staying I've called hotels and they said they would be open. And yeah I have enough money Dad though thanks for asking." Alex answered each question Charlie had put forward with a smile.
"When will you go?" Charlie asked as he turned to switch the TV program.
"Today, I'll just be going to school to ask for a leave for this week first and then directly take the bus to Port Angels. I already booked a hotel for tonight there" Alex answered as he turned to look at the TV as well.
The weather forecast showed that it was looking to be a sunny day today.
'Seems like they're going hiking today' Alex thought jokingly to himself.
"Well I'm going to pack up my things upstairs, I'll call you when I'm on the bus," Alex said as he turned and gave Charlie a hug.
Charlie was a bit awkward but hugged him back as well.
"Alright Alex, and if you ever need anything just give me a call, and ill come wherever you are okay?" Charlie said as he parted the hug.
His voice showed that he was sad but also wasn't going to hold Alex back from what he wanted to do.
"Alright Dad," Alex said as he started walking up the stairs.
'You're an awesome dad, Charlie, more than I deserve' Alex thought with a smile on his face.
"I'll be heading to work now too, goodbye Alex," Charlie said as well and got up, heading to the front door.
"Goodbye!" Alex said from the top of the stairs.
Turning around, Alex walked into his room and stood still for a moment.
"A lot has happened since I first woke up in here huh" Alex mumbled as he looked around the room.
'Enough reminiscing, let's just get ready' Alex thought and started to get some clothes out of his closet.
After about an hour, he had packed his backpack with enough clothes and daily needs stuff like his toothbrush.
Slinging his backpack, Alex walked out of the room. He didn't look back this time.
Bella had already awoken a few minutes ago and was downstairs.
