CHAPTER 23

-Third Pov-

~~~

*Swoosshh*

~~~

When Mikael released this technique, it appeared as if plums were blooming. The whole area around his home is covered in pink-colored petals. This is the beauty of the Plum Blossom sword technique and the true essence of itself.

James, Victoria, and Laurent were nowhere to be seen, as their bodies were immediately replaced by the beautiful petals that danced in the night sky. We can see Mikael's and Alice's figures illuminated by the moonlight, accompanied by the petals that beautifully danced around them.

Mikael sheathed his sword and closed his eyes while putting his hands behind his back. We can see him smiling, drowning in the scent of the plum blossom, and a nostalgic look can be seen across his face. A feeling that he missed very much when he spent his time with the Mount Hua Sword Saint.

Alice's beautiful figure was enhanced by the petals that danced around her, making her pixie-like figure more delicate. A sweet smile can be seen across her face while she does a little dance, and her beautiful crimson eyes glisten with the otherworldly scene around her.

Mikael opened his eyes just to be welcomed by the beautiful scene that he saw when he turned toward Alice. He approached her while she looked at him, their glistening crimson eyes locked at each other while their hands intertwined.

"I love you, Mikael."

"And I love you, Alice."

Their lips touched with their affection and pure love towards each other. With the moonlight and the dancing plum blossom around them, it looked like the world itself was blessing them. A perfect picture of pure love that seemed untainted by the things around them.

(The Next Day)

-MC Pov-

Waking up the next day, feeling refreshed with Alice still in my embrace, we're naked. Yes, you heard that right, last night Alice insisted on 'doing it' and I couldn't help it either because last night, we were drowning in love. Strangely, no lust is involved as last night we were doing it based on pure love and affection towards each other, well there is a little bit of lust but it's subtle.

I looked at her with her head on my chest while stroking her hair. I can no longer see the thread of fate that tied us together, it was gone after I did it with her last night. It was replaced by something, I don't know what it is but I feel like her whole being is the same as mine.

What I mean is that I felt like she became a part of me and I became a part of her. Something that was missing before was now filled, and Alice exuded the same aura as me although it was thin and barely noticeable.

But it is different from when she drank my blood because I checked her energy reserve and it was the same as before.

-Alice Pov-

Opening my eyes, I can see Mikael smiling at me warmly while stroking my hair gently and saying, "Good morning, my love."

"Morning, my love," I replied while leaning my head on his warm broad chest again.

Recalling what happened last night, I couldn't help but giggle while drawing a circle on his chest with my finger. But suddenly I remembered that time when he said that we would do it after we got married.

I turned to him with apologetic eyes and said, "M-Mikael...I-I-"

Before I could say anything, he suddenly kissed me softly and said, "No, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, my love."

His words made my heart melt and assured at the same time. I then looked at him with teary eyes and kissed him with all my love, leaning back on his warm body.

"How are you feeling right now, my dear?" Mikael asked, with one of his hands on my waist and the other on my hand that was wrapped around his body.

While closing my eyes and enjoying his body heat, I answered, "I don't know, I just feel like I'm closer to you."

"Hmm...anything more?" He asked again, as his hand went up to my head, stroking my hair.

I then turned to him, looked into his eyes, and smiled. "I feel like nothing can separate us, wherever and whenever."

-MC Pov-

Hmm... I think I understand the main idea. It's like, even if she's in a different universe, I can feel her and know exactly where she is. Can I travel to a different world or universe? Hmm, I don't think so. I don't have the ability and, well, I don't care.

Besides, I felt a change occurring in the world after I killed those golden trio last night. I'm aware that I'm changing the plot by killing them, especially Victoria, but I don't care. I have the power to support my actions and I'm not afraid of any challenges.

Anyway, after a lovely chat in bed, we went to take a shower together. We didn't do anything besides showering, as we were too preoccupied with our emotions, our 'new' emotions to be precise, because of what we did last night.

After that, I went to make breakfast and Alice made me a cup of tea as usual. She tasted the food but said that it was still bland, so I let her suck my blood. We decided to take a day off from school as we had a lot to discuss with the Cullens.

"Have you informed them?" I asked Alice as we prepared to go to their house. She nodded, and then we were off to the Cullens.

(At The Cullen's House)

We arrived in my car 10 minutes later. We went to the living room immediately and they were already waiting for us. I'm quite surprised because Jasper, Thea, and Bella were already here. As we sat down, the Cullens looked at us with curious gazes.

And so, Alice explained what happened last night. I could see the Cullens' shocked gazes and worried expressions. Then I proceeded to tell them about how I killed them. I could see their dumbfounded expressions. I just chuckled a little at that.

And then they showed some relieved expressions, except for Bella, who seemed confused and curious about me. Well, I already knew this would happen sooner or later, so I proceeded to tell her about my abilities. I just told her that Alice turned me into a vampire.

Of course, that was a lie, but I don't care. I gave each of the Cullens a look and they nodded in understanding. She then said that she wasn't too surprised about it because she already had some suspicions after the van incident.

Hmm... I'm curious about her determination to become a vampire now, as she didn't get injured by James and Edward saving her. Somehow I felt that she was more determined now after knowing that I had already turned into a 'vampire'. I can see that in her eyes.

Those eyes that desire power, a change in their life. I can see from her eyes that she felt that she was a burden, she felt that she was left alone, she wanted power, and the only way she could get it is from Edward. Well, that's not my problem. I'm sure she will pester Edward to turn her into a vampire. It won't happen now but soon.

I can't help but chuckle a little about their upcoming drama in the future. But then the girls noticed something different about Alice, so they dragged Alice into a private place for 'Girls Talk' while I could hear their giggling along the way.

Edward decided to take Bella home and they took a day off as well, as did the Cullens. Carlisle then expressed his worries about me killing the golden trio. I understand him, but I just patted his shoulder and told him not to worry.

After that, I played some cards and chess with Jasper and Emmett, and Carlisle just went to work at the hospital. I felt that his shoulder was light. Poor guy, he just wanted to see his family/coven safe.

Anyway, after spending the entire day with them, finally, Alice and I went home. But before that, she reminded me of the prom, which I very much dislike, and partying is just not my cup of tea. But she insisted because it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I just rolled my eyes and ignored her while driving the car.

"Pretty please..." Alice pleaded with her puppy eyes, which looked cute.

I just sighed in defeat and said, "Fine..."

She then immediately hugged my arm and kissed my cheek. Then we went to a different town because there aren't many options here in Forks, as this is just a small town. She seemed to know everything about fashion, so I just let her pick my outfit for the prom and be done with it. At the end of the day, we reached home at midnight, and after that, we cleaned up and then went to sleep.

(A Week Later - Weekend - Prom Day)

-MC Pov-

We were currently preparing for the prom. Alice helped me put on my suit, and I also helped her put on her dress. I'm wearing a British Tuxedo like those in James Bond movies, and Alice is wearing a beautiful black dress that looks elegant.

Why black for a party like this? Well, she told me to choose, so I chose the black one. She was pouting when I chose this, but I told her that I don't like those colorful dresses. So she nodded in understanding while still pouting.

Anyway, after an hour of preparing ourselves, we then went to the prom location. We arrived after Edward and Bella, and for the first time, I saw Jacob. I don't know why, but in my mind, he seemed more emo than Edward. But hey, I'm just saying...

After Jacob left, Alice greeted Bella while hugging her, while Edward and I just nodded at each other. Then we proceeded to enter the prom. Alice held my hand, and as we entered the party, we took a picture together at the entrance.

I didn't even bother to enter the main area as I immediately dragged Alice to the gazebo where we could dance quietly and enjoy ourselves. As usual, the people here didn't even bother about us and they just pretended that we weren't here.

After some moments, Edward and Bella came. So we smiled at them and let them take the stage, meanwhile, Alice and I decided to go home.

(MC House)

After we reached home, we decided to clean up and then watch some TV series while we cuddled up on the sofa. Alice leaned her head on me while my hand wrapped around her and the other held her hand.

After midnight, Alice held my head and looked me in the eyes. Her eyes were full of desire, lust, and most importantly, love. I chuckled and understood what she wanted. To be honest, for the past week, she was the one who was more eager to do it than me.

Of course, we only did it when we were alone in my house and not in some random places. Ahem... Without further ado, I carried her like a princess and brought her to our room. Alice was giggling and smiling in excitement every time we were about to do this.

Author's Note:

What?

Waiting for Lemons?

NO.

I've tried to write it before and I'm just bad at it. SO I will not even try to write it again as I find it cringey, so no, no lemons.

I already write cringey stuff so please don't make me write more cringey stuff.
