closed starter.ย @alphakage (Scott McCall)
Alice was getting ready for the drive-in movie night and waiting for Scott to get home. Whenever they were not together, Alice worried about his safety, just as she knew he worried about hers. The kind of inconvenience that came with frequent demon attacks in your town, one could say. The vampire had one extra worry, though. This would be her first chance to have an actual conversation with Scott since they saw Braeden at the clinic, and Alice had to tell him what that was really about. That made her terrified of losing Scott, but she wouldnโt be worthy of being with him if she kept that hidden.ย
Already dressed and doing her make up, Alice dropped everything when she heard Scott arrive at the apartment. She ran up to him and hugged him tightly, relived that he was there and that he was alright, with a small part of her wondering if this would be the last time she could do this.ย โIโm so glad youโre here.โ She whispered, breathing in his scent and letting it calm her down.ย โBut we do need to talk about some stuff.โ She broke the hug, taking Scottโs hand and sitting down in the couch with him.ย
Now, how could she even start telling him this story? Starting from the beginning wouldnโt make much sense when he already knew the consequences of the end - an end in which Braeden was no idea who Alice Zhou was, other than the vampire girlfriend of Scott McCall, who she just met in Beacon Hills. Alice supposed she should start by letting Scott know that there was a story at all, because neither him nor Braeden were aware of that.ย โBefore we met, about two years ago, in NYC... I fucked up big time. Nobody got physically hurt, but... It just wasnโt right.โ
She paused, looking into Scottโs eyes and trying to find the words to continue. โWhatever you decide to do once you know about it, I will understand.โ If you wanna leave, I wonโt be able to tell you thatโs not the right move.ย โThis is about how I knew Braeden Cooper before coming to Beacon Hills, even if Braeden herself isnโt aware of it. She believes she killed a ripper in New York, and that was her mission, at first, but... Iโm right here, as alive as I've been since 74.โย
