Chapter 20 - CHAPTER 20

-MC Pov-

We woke up the next day, and Alice was still by my side. I looked at her, and she was surprisingly sleeping. Anyway, I kissed her forehead and woke her up.

"Morning, my pixie," I said to her.

"Mmm...morning..." Alice said while rubbing her eyes.

"Wait, am I sleeping!?" Alice said in a surprised tone.

"Yes, you are," I said, and then she suddenly kissed me.

Hmm...I think I know the reason, but I'm not sure. Maybe I'll run some tests and let her drink my blood occasionally. Anyway, after that, I had a nice cold shower. Well, I don't have to, and I can just use my ability. But showering in the morning has become a habit for me, the same as drinking a cup of tea.

I'm currently in the dining room after making breakfast, and Alice sits beside me, looking at me while I'm eating my food.

"Here," I showed her my wrist, and she was surprised.

"A-are you sure? What if you lose blood and die?" Alice said while hesitating.

"Hahaha, you know that I'm immortal, right? And I can't die, whatever the circumstances are," I replied to her. She took my wrist and opened her mouth.

*Bit*

Alice bit me, and I just kept eating my food with no expression whatsoever. Alice kept her eyes on me, and I could see her eyes constantly changing color. From gold, red, dark brown, black, and crimson.

I finished my food, then I looked at Alice, and she was still sucking my blood. I just let her, and I watched her while smiling. After roughly about an hour, she let go of my wrist, not because she was full, but because she was exhausted from sucking my blood.

"Hahhh...hahhh..." Alice was gasping after letting go of my wrist.

"So, how is it?" I retracted my wrist and looked at it, and it instantly healed.

Alice suddenly pounced on me and kissed me. After about 10 minutes, we parted our lips. I wiped the blood from her face, and I looked her in the eyes, and I could see that her eyes were not gold anymore. They're crimson, just like mine.

Hmmm...it seems that I'm right. She's changed because she drank my blood. Moreover, inside my blood, there are my internal energies. Then...can I turn her into a cultivator? Maybe, maybe not, I don't know. I'll leave it for another time.

"It is very refreshing! It tastes like I'm drinking water straight from the mountain," Alice exclaimed happily.

"Well, I'm glad you like it," I said, smiling, and then I brought a portable mirror for her.

"Here, take a look at your eyes," I handed her the mirror.

Alice took the mirror and looked at herself. I could see that she was surprised and confused at the same time.

"H-how..." Alice said, confused.

I then explained to her that my blood is special; it contains my internal energies. So, I told her that she had a chance to become like me, a cultivator. She looked surprised and happy at the same time.

"So, I can become like you!?" Alice asked excitedly.

"Yes, but the energies inside you are not enough," I replied.

"What do you mean?" Alice asked again.

"Well, to become a cultivator, it takes years of effort. So, it will take years for you to become one. Besides, you can't gather energies like me, so you'll have to constantly drink my blood, and it may take dozens of years," I replied.

"T-then I don't want to become one. I'm afraid that you'll die," Alice said, lowering her head.

I laughed at her, caressed her cheek, and said, "Don't worry, we'll take one step at a time." She looked at me and nodded.

"Can you turn your eyes back?" I asked.

"I'll try," Alice replied. Then her eyes changed from crimson to dark brown. She took the mirror and looked at herself, then tried changing back and forth. There's no gold anymore, only crimson and her original color when she was still a human, dark brown.

"I'm glad it can change back. I'm afraid that your family would have a heart attack, hahaha," I said jokingly, and she pinched me.

"Did you feel anything, Alice? Or is it only the eyes that have changed?" I asked her.

"Nothing in particular, I just felt more refreshed and energetic, but it's barely noticeable," Alice replied while inspecting herself.

Hmm... I looked deeper into her, and I didn't see the core energy as every cultivator does. I have a divine fruit in my storage ring that can build a solid core energy out of the blue, but I doubt that it'll work on her.

Because she's a corpse, a living corpse to be precise. Besides, I only have one divine fruit, and I don't want to risk it, so maybe I'll give it to her once she has drunk enough of my blood and see what changes it brings us. Well, a mystery for another time, I guess. I'll take it slow and be patient.

"Alright, let us prepare for school," I said, and then we began preparing everything that we needed.

After another 30 minutes, we were ready and headed outside the house and went to the garage.

"Do you want to drive, Alice?" I asked her, and she nodded excitedly, then I threw her the key.

We then drove off. Along the way, Alice giggled in excitement because she could finally drive the car. We talked about my abilities too, and then she told me about her abilities and her family's abilities.

"Our abilities can't work on you anymore, Kael," Alice said while keeping her eyes on the road.

"Any reason?" I asked.

"No, we haven't discovered anything. Maybe because you're too powerful?" Alice replied while chuckling. I just shrugged and enjoyed the ride until we reached the school.

(At School)

-MC Pov-

We pulled up to the parking lot and Alice parked the car at our usual spot. I saw the Cullens seeming to wait for something.

I walked up to them, wrapping my hand around Alice's waist, and greeted them, "Morning, guys." Alice greeted them too, and they nodded.

"What's the occasion?" I asked.

"Edward decided to tell Bella about us today," Thea answered.

Then I saw Edward standing there, waiting for Bella. After about 5 minutes, she arrived and walked past Edward, and he followed her. And off to the forest, they went.

I looked at the Cullens, and they seemed anxious, especially Rosalie. I shrugged, and Alice and I went to our class together since we were in the same class that day. Occasionally, I saw Alice having a vision and smiling during class. Of course, I asked her what it was, and she answered that she saw Edward and Bella having fun. Well, as I expected, I guess.

The day passed by just like that with the usual boring stuff. Edward and Bella were absent today, just as we expected. I noticed the Cullens were not behaving as usual, and they seemed nervous. Well, except for me and Alice, of course. We were just lost in our world. I understand that they're nervous because of Bella.

As Alice and I walked to my car, Thea approached us and said, "Mikael, mind if we borrow Alice for a while?"

We looked at each other, and Alice pecked me on the lips, saying, "See you at home, alright?" I nodded, and Alice went to their side.

I waved goodbye to them and went home by myself.

(At the Cullens House)

-The Cullens Pov-

We can see the Cullens in their living room having an emergency meeting.

"So Edward, how did it go?" Rosalie asked in a nervous tone, and the others were curious as well.

Edward then explained to them that everything was fine and Bella accepted everything. Edward then said that they were having fun as well. When they heard that, everyone seemed relieved. Meanwhile, Alice just kept giggling at Edward.

"What's so funny, Alice?" Thea asked in a curious tone.

"I saw Edward and Bella having a romantic moment," Alice answered, while Edward just smiled in embarrassment and the Cullens were laughing at him.

"And how are you doing, my dear?" Esme asked Alice.

"Well, Mikael and I were enjoying our time and getting closer each day," Alice replied, giggling. The Cullens smiled at that.

"And Edward, you can invite Bella someday to meet me and Carlisle," Esme said to Edward, and he nodded.

"Alright, guys, if you have nothing else to say, I'll see you later. Bye, love you guys," Alice said. Without waiting for their answers, she immediately headed out to Mikael's house.

The Cullens just shook their heads and sighed, while some of them were laughing at Alice's behavior.

-MC Pov-

A day passed and we're currently in the parking lot. Of course, I was holding Alice by the waist and the Cullens were still in their car.

We then saw Edward coming with Bella. Edward then wrapped his hand around Bella's shoulder. The students immediately looked at them with shocked gazes, and some of them, especially the girls, were jealous of Bella.

After the Cullens parked their car, Alice and I approached them. I saw the worried expressions on the Cullens' faces, except Alice, of course.

"Aren't you guys supposed to be happy about him?" I asked them.

"We're happy, but he's an idiot," Rosalie replied in annoyance.

"Yeah, he's gaining too much unnecessary attention, and it can put us at risk," Thea said while frowning.

Alice and I then looked at each other, and I said, "Too much attention? Do we even get any of that?" Alice shook her head.

"Because they're scared of you, Kael. You look more demonic than us, hahaha," Emmett said while laughing, and I just shrugged.

The day passed just like that, with Edward and Bella being the stars of the day. Some of them were gossiping, some of them were cursing their relationship, and the wise people were wishing them the best.

Alice and I were on our way home, and I asked her, "Did they notice anything about you yesterday?"

"No, they didn't notice anything. Anyway, when will you tell them about your immortality?" Alice replied while looking at me.

"Hmm... maybe soon," I said, and Alice nodded. Then I began thinking about when I would tell them. "Maybe I'll tell them after the baseball game or after I kill the golden trio. They should be here already, right?"

(5 days later)

-Third Pov-

We can see that Edward is currently at Bella's house, talking to her while she's cleaning her truck.

"I'm gonna take you to my place tomorrow," Edward said while fixing the dent in the truck.

"Wait, like with your family?" Bella asked, and Edward answered yes.

"What if they don't like me?" Bella asked again.

Edward chuckled and then said, "So, you're worried not because of the house full of vampires, but because they won't approve of you?"

"Glad that I amuse you," Bella replied, and Edward looked at the road.

"What's wrong?" Bella asked, and Edward replied while frowning, "Complications."

Edward then said, "I'll pick you up tomorrow." Bella nodded, and Edward drove off while giving a side eye to the Blacks. After that, Billy and Jacob visit Bella and Charlie.
