" Should I be offended ? I feel a little offended . " Garrett teased , even if it wasn't particularly the case . Garrett pondered on Logan's question , before shrugging his shoulders . " We're brothers , man . Aren't we ? That's how I know that I know that I may know you better than most people . At least , I hope so . That's how I know you have something big on your mind right now . Is it about that girl ? "

❝ sorry ❞ logan apologized, bit on the inside of his cheek. glanced over at his best friend ❝ that was not a kind way of saying it. i didn't mean it like that ❞ he said, now felt bad for the way he said it. didn't mean it to come out as rude. nodded to what garrett said ❝ yes, we are. you do, it's scary sometimes ❞ he smiled a little. garrett knew him too well. it did not surprise him he knew logan was thinking about something. he had been thinking more now than what he had done before ❝ yes, i can't stop thinking about her. is it weird? and other things too. you are going to hate me for it or maybe not hate, but get angry, maybe ❞

Juliet gave the other an awkward smile and nodded, although she did take the seat when he offered. "I did hear your singing, and it was very lovely. You have such an angelic voice, it's really amazing." She admitted. "Did you write the song or is it one of these new musicians. I don't know much about this century's music, but some of it is not so bad. Some of it makes me feel a bit overwhelmed."

john laughed, looked down ❝ thank you. really, an angelic voice ? ❞ he didn't expect to hear that. was good to get back such good feedback ❝ i did yes. first year at college. didn't think much about it until now. never released it anywhere. maybe i should now? you don't? where are you from, if you don't mind me asking or should i ask which year? yeah, i can understand it does. some of the new songs aren't good ❞

❝ seems to be a popular place, huh ❞ logan nodded and smiled. he should have sang quiet, now when he knew others heard too. what does it matter? ❝ a song i wrote a while ago with an old friend. nothing special. thank you ❞ it was really kind of julian to say. the people around the cafe were presumably the first people who heard it ❝ i have kept it as a secret for years. never really talked about it, don't know why. you want to hear the whole song? ❞ he asked, took up his phone from the table.

adjusting to the 21st century was proving to be difficult. phillip wasn't used to all of this, he was used to keeping himself to himself, enjoying his plants, and not worrying about the gossip of the ton. it was sort of hard to avoid society in such a way here, especially with technology. "i cannot figure this out," he muttered to himself, staring at the iphone like it had personally offended him. "what is the fascination with these devices these days? i cannot get away with it myself."

people appearing up from other centuries was no surprise anymore. she understood the technology must be confusing for them ❝ honestly.. ❞ kiara started, shrugged and frowned ❝ they are only a distraction from reality. to get away sometimes. i think they are good for calling your friends and family, texting them too. other than that, as i said a distraction. people turn to them when they are bored ❞ she explained.

" You . What do you want ? " Irina froze . She could have ran . Regardless , she did think she had spent far too much time running . That was enough of it . Irina wanted answers . And here was , maybe , someone that could finally give them to her . Irina figured not , though . Nothing good came out of bargaining with the Volturi . " Even if I did , why would I ever help you with anything , Alec Volturi ? "

noted, irina knew who he was ❝ i want nothing. i am searching for answer on what is going on in washington dc ❞ alec shrugged. why would he want something? he was not like the leaders. an eyebrow raised, she seemed to be scared ❝ are you afraid i am going to tell the volturi leaders you are here? don't worry, i won't tell them anything. i don't have any contact with them, i don't even know if they are here ❞

Tara was glad for this girl, it seemed as if things were looking up. "I know it's not nearly the same, but my family never allowed me to practice magic. In fact, they told me I was a demon so I wouldn't use my magical abilities." She frowned at the memory. "Along with that, they've never been supportive of my sexuality."

how could parents say their child was a demon? ❝ that really sucks. how could they say you were a demon? ❞ she asked, her eyes widened. felt really bad for tara too ❝ i am sorry to hear. parents who can't accept their children's sexuality, it's sad. did they get disappointed or? it doesn't make you to a different person. i have read and heard of very sad stories. some people seem to think you are another person or so, or whatever. i never told my parents or anyone about my sexuality, except my friends and my girlfriend knew of course, or ex now, i guess. you are still brave for it. you should be able to love whoever you fall for ❞

Irina knew she should have been in hiding . Should she cross paths with any of the Volturi , with anyone that would recognise her , it would be trouble . Still , Irina could not stand still and do nothing . Irina knew what she had done . What she had possibly cost her sisters . There was no telling if Kate or Tanya or Carmen or even Eleazar had survived the wrath of the Volturi . Still , she'd not give up searching . It was why she was trying to pass as a human , laying low , to have more time to find them . Irina knew her job at the bookstore helped keep that cover . She wore contacts , in order to hide the gold in her eyes . They did not last , but it was something . " Good morning . Are you looking for any book in particular ? The store is still quiet at this time , so I'm sure I could assist you with whatever you need ? " Irina greeted , stepping closer .

alec thought the bookstore could have an answer on memory loss. the library was no luck. when he stepped inside, he recognized the woman. he walked over to the checkout, leaned in close to the desk and placed his elbows on it ❝ nice contacts ❞ he commented, looked at irina with a smile. studied her face for a few minutes, before answering her question. he smirked ❝ isn't that good, i like quiet stores. do you have books on memory loss? ❞

❝ i am glad i could ❞ alec smiled. it felt unreal to be with arrow again. but he was happier than he had been on a long time. to be with him made everything better ❝ i understand that. i do hope you get to see your sibling again one day. you know you can tell me everything, if you want to ❞ wanted to see him happy. maybe it was possible in washington dc. everything seemed to be ❝ well, it's a long and a bit complicated story. it's all very ― strange. something i do not understand and probably shouldn't ❞ he shrugged. didn't remember much. he smiled again ❝ no, we are not. i am glad we can be. however do i not know how it will be with the volturi, but i am not sure i would like to be their guard anymore. they cannot force me now, can they? i hope not ❞ he just wanted to be with arrow, being free. now when he had found someone he cared deeply about, he wanted to focus on it and live a new life. the life he never had as a child and human ❝ or we can buy an apartment together? ❞ he suggested ❝ it's alright. not much to do at the moment. i am not sure, i tried reminding her of who she is and mentioned our life as humans, our background story. not sure if it helped much, not easy to tell. i don't understand how she could lose her memories ❞

“alec.”  carlisle  greeted  with  a  nod.  he  had  not  seen  any  of  the  volturi  since  he  left  italy.  he  certainly  didn't  expect  to  see  anyone  here.  “i  figure  that  you  won't  tell  me.”  he  mused,  clearing  his  throat  despite  the  fact  he  didn't  need  to.  “i  didn't  think  i  would  see  you  here  of  all  places.  is  something  the  matter?”  he  felt  somewhat  uneasy  that  the  volturi  may  be  here,  that  they  may  be  here  for  someone.  “i  see.  perhaps  i  could  offer  assistance?”

❝ ah, good to know you remember me ❞ he said with a smile on his lips. figured he wouldn't tell carlisle? why would he tell the cullens everything. they were too curious. he didn't know if they planned to do something to the volturi's. not that they had the power to do anything ❝ did not think i would see you either or still alive. seems as we all are. why would something be wrong ?? ❞ alec replied, an eyebrow raised ❝ someone who gave me trouble and now i think they might be somewhere around here ❞

(¸.• ♛ → she turned around when she heard someone speaking to her, well, not someone but it was simon. a small smile was on her lips when he said that. "yeah? well, that's good." she was happy to see that he was feeling now less confused about everything. "it's fine, well, i'm off today so yes, i would love that for sure." after all, it was always going to be nice to spend some time with him.

simon smiled when she said yes ❝ ah ! good you are ❞ it made him happy to hear she had a day off. otherwise they could’ve planned it another day, he wouldn’t mind it. simon liked being around her already. felt like they had known each other a long time, he could feel the connection between them ❝ if you want something to eat or drink, am i guessing it’s better if you buy it yourself. sorry. i don’t really know what you like and i don’t have any food at home. the fridge and freezer are full of blood bags ❞ he chuckled nervously. it didn’t feel weird mention it to her. not after their last meeting. which as well made it easier ❝ but i mean why would i have food at home, right? maybe i should in case someone who isn't a vampire comes over ❞ someone like you, he wanted to say, but got too nervous.

carlisle  nodded  his  head.  “pleased  to  meet  you,  logan,  john  logan.”  he  teased  a  little.  “kind  of  doctor?  a  damn  good  one,  if  i  do  so  say  myself.”  he  couldn't  help  but  joke  somewhat.  “i'm  a  chief  attending  physician  and  general  surgeon.”  carlisle  explained,  eyeing  the  other's  actions.  “is  that  okay?  or  would  you  rather  see  someone  else?”  he  offered  before  taking  a  step  closer.  “you're  having  difficulty  breathing,  aren't  you?  i  can  hear  it.  will  you  let  me  take  a  look?  see  what  it  is?”  his  voice  was  gentle,  soothing  as  he  looked  at  him.  “i  need  to  make  sure  your  lungs  are  okay.  what  happened?”

❝ you too ❞ he said quietly. the doctor had good self confidence. a surgeon, he wondered if he could help him then. he didn’t know what all of these doctor titles meant. they had special ones back home, to help out in case a hockey player got injured ❝ good to know. no no, it’s fine ❞ logan didn’t know of any doctors here. recently got back into hockey more serious after arriving to dc ❝ a bit, i think. uh, hockey practice with new players. one of them had no control of their own strength. it happens sometimes. i tried to train them ❞ he nodded ❝ its all good, that’s why i thought of coming in here ❞
