章節 7: Chapter 7

Walking toward the front of the house, Arthur first looked through the almost fully cracked window, checking to see if anyone was nearby.

He had to be cautious of every single person in Forks, after all the small population made it so that rumors spread as fast as a forest fire.

'Clear' Arthur thought before walking outside of the house and onto the streets.

He was heading toward the local library.

'Let's see if its that old hag or if it's that new employee' Arthur thought as he walked through the cold streets.

The wind was cold and fast, hitting his face forcefully and ingraining the cold even further into his body which was clothed in what could only barely be considered winter clothes.

The snow wasn't doing him any favors either as it had started melting once more today and thus it had turned into a disgusting slush just like it had been on Friday.

Around half an hour of walking later, Arthur finally arrived close to his destination.

It was in downtown Forks, on his left side was a small grocery store and further down the road stood the small library building.

Arthur wouldn't be able to buy any books however that didn't mean that he couldn't 'Borrow' them.

It was at this moment as he was walking past the grocery store that he heard someone call his name.

"Arthur is that you?" 

Hearing the now familiar voice call his name, Arthur turned around to face the store and just as he had dreaded, there she was.

Alice Cullen in all her majestic glory stood next to a silver Volvo.

'Is she stalking me? No, she has no reason to do so, she already has a mate.' Arthur thought as he gave the girl a nod, trying to move on as quickly as he could.

Nothing good would come from talking with the Cullen's. It would at best be a neutral conversation and at worst it would cause immense trouble for a human like Arthur.

Seeing the girl start walking toward him instantly, Arthur stopped himself from turning around and walking away right that instant.

'Why am I even staying here and having a conversation with her when I could just ignore her all together.' Arthur thought, confused at his own choices however it was already too late, Alice was standing before him and right behind her was a tall man with short brown hair and dark amber eyes.

'Edward Cullen.' Arthur thought before completely focusing on Alice.

"We've been meeting so much these days," Alice said as her lips curled up into a smile, her face seeming to almost radiate as she looked at Arthur.

"Yeah, anyway it was nice meeting you again Alice, I'm heading to the library to steal some books." Arthur said as he gave her and Edward a nod of his head.

For a moment the two Cullen's seemed to freeze as they processed what Arthur had just said.

'Hmm, what book should I steal?' Arthur thought as he walked further and further away from the two vampires.

"Did he just stay steal or are my ears not working correctly Edward?" Alice murmured as she stared at Arthur's back whilst he got further and further away.

"No, he's even thinking about what book to steal right now," Edward replied as he similarly stood still whilst gazing at Arthur's disappearing figure.

"Wow, I know I like to joke around sometimes and do some light pranks but he's actually going stealing and talking about it as if its his usual Sunday activity." Alice murmured once more, her tone clearly showing how confused she was at the situation.

'I knew you were different, but first Hunting in the middle of the forest in the winter outside of hunting season, and now telling both me and my brother that you're going to steal?' Alice thought before lightly shaking her head.

"He goes hunting in the forest?" Edward questioned as he turned around starting to walk back toward the silver Volvo.

Alice followed him a split moment later.

"Yeah, Jasper and I found him in the forest behind the abandoned house, you know the one that people are calling haunted these days," Alice replied, nodding her head quickly as she practically skipped her way to the Volvo.

"He's quite the interesting guy, I'll give him that much," Edward said before hopping into the silver Volvo.

"I think we got everything Esme asked for right? Did we get the right cookbook?" Alice asked as she hopped into the front passenger seat.

"Yeah, this should be it," Edward said before turning the ignition key.

Meanwhile at the end of the street, inside the small library building Arthur was walking through rows of book shelfs that went up the the ceiling and were brimming with all kinds of books.

Be it Science and History or science-fiction and mythology.

'Maybe some mythology book? Considering that I know for sure that mythological creatures exist in this world then maybe I'll be able to find some information about them?' Arthur thought as he headed to the mythological section of the library.

This section seemed to be quite smaller than the others, in fact it was only about one fourth the size of the others and one tenth the size of the romance section.

'That old hag sure likes romance doesn't she?' Arthur thought as he lifted his eyes from the books in front of him and turned his gaze towards the counter, behind which an old woman appearing to be older than seventy by Arthur's estimates sat.

Even now, the old woman was reading a romance novel.

*Sigh*

Releasing a soft sigh that was unheard from the woman, Arthur turned his gaze away.

'If only she had good taste in romance, if only…' Arthur thought as the disturbing image appeared in his mind, it was an image that had been ingrained in his mind since the day that he had decided to see what the woman would recommend him to read.

This book I've been writing much more carefully, I've made so many mistakes during the last two twilight books that I don't want to repeat. Even now I can remember each and every mistake that I made and sometimes I feel like I should hide in a hole somewhere to save myself from the embarrassment.

Lots of Love

章節 8: Chapter 8

Looking through the mythology books, Arthur quickly found something that piqued his interest.

It was a brown hardcover book, on its back, the title was inscribed in red.

[ The Real Myths ]

Compared to the other books, this title was the only one that insinuated that the mythological creatures were real.

Arthur didn't have much hope for it as he knew it could simply be a title made to captivate the reader's curiosity and nothing more.

Either way, deciding that he would give it a try, Arthur quickly took the book and hid it under his clothes before using his belt to firmly press it against his body so that it would be less noticeable that he was hiding a book.

Turning around, Arthur started walking towards the exit, merely lifting his hand as he passed by the old woman behind the counter.

Given his good reputation, she had never once thought that Arthur would be stealing a book.

"I'm heading out, I'll be back in a few days to see if something new comes ma'am," Arthur said as he gave her a wave of his hand whilst he headed to the door.

"All right, see you next time Arthur, have a nice day!." The woman replied still not even lifting her head from the book she was reading.

"Yeah, have a nice day," Arthur said before opening the front door and heading outside.

'As easy as always.' Arthur thought.

He had been stealing books like this for months, and as long as he returned them before the last Friday of the month where the woman would count to see if all the books were in their right places and check who was borrowing books and were late on their returns then Arthur would never be found.

Walking through the snow-packed streets, Arthur headed back toward his house.

He arrived there later, only to lie on his bed once again and start reading the book he had stolen.

[ The Real Myths ]

'Let's check this out.' Arthur thought to himself as he flipped to the first page of the book.

He had developed a habit of talking to himself recently, though he didn't mind it. It was a way that made him feel like he wasn't as alone.

'This book describes sightings of Mythological creatures that have been seen in the real world.'

'Alright.' Arthur thought before flipping the page, the title of the very next page was called 'Vampires'

'Vampires are a widely known mythological species, they have been sighted in multiple regions of this world. The easiest way to tell a vampire is by their red feline eyes and their large fangs.'

'It's a fake.' Arthur immediately determined however he continued reading the book.

Even if the information was fake and didn't really hold anything about real vampires, it was still a book he hadn't read before and so he could use it to pass the time.

Hours passed by as Arthur continued reading, It was only when the night approached and the moon reached its highest position did Arthur plopped the book down, finishing it completely.

'A good enough read I suppose.' Arthur thought before turning around on his side and closing his eyes, falling asleep almost instantly.

It was at this moment that a shadow covered Arthur's face, blocking the lighting from the lit stove on his right.

'Arthur?' Alice thought as she looked at his sleeping figure.

It was a shock, to say the least, she hadn't expected this…

'You've been living here? Alone?' Alice thought to herself as she started walking through the house.

'So that's why you were out hunting in the forest.' Alice thought as her face scrunched up in frustration.

'Whilst I was taking my time in figuring out a way to meet you properly, whilst I was afraid that you would be weirded out by me. You were living like this.'

Her face scrunched up even further, however no tears came out of her eyes.

She couldn't shed them after all, no matter how emotional she got, no matter how much she wanted to cry, she simply couldn't.

All that was left was this feeling of suffocation, a feeling of loss so overbearing that it almost caused her to drop to her knees.

'I'm sorry Arthur, I really didn't know.' Alice thought before turning around and similarly to a shadow, she disappeared from the abandoned house as if she had never been there at all.

Hours later, Arthur's eyes snapped open.

It was the early morning hours, an hour before he had to get to school.

Turning around, he got up from the bed and headed to the stove, igniting the fire that had stopped burning sometime last night. Then, he headed to the kitchen to take out another piece of rabbit meat.

Roasting the rabbit meat for a few minutes, Arthur quickly dug into it as soon as it was ready, finishing his small meal in a few short minutes.

'Alright, I'll have to wash my clothes at school today.' Arthur thought as he changed out of his current clothes that he had worn for a few days now and switched into his second set.

He only had these two pairs of clothes, so he had to rotate between them every few days, washing a pair whilst he wore the other.

He had thought of stealing clothes however every shop in Forks that sold clothes had cameras everywhere and he would most likely get caught in the act which would be a hassle he didn't want to deal with.

Wearing his new clothes, Arthur placed the other pair into his backpack after folding them carefully.

Turning toward the lit stove, he quickly killed the fire so that he would save some of the charred wood for when he came back from school.

With that done, he headed outside of the house and toward Fork's high school.

'I hate washing day.' Arthur thought as he walked.

He would always get stressed that someone would find out, however, he hadn't been found a single time yet so it was less stressful than the first time he had done it.
