Innocent Sorrow

The rain was unexpected...Not that Alice minded it.She welcomed the rain as she sat amongst the statues in the memorial.Shielded by a big angel statue,her bandage clad eyes gazed at the almost black and white scenery painted by her 'mind's eye'.Nostalgia hit her by waves...This silent memorial reminded her of the graveyard where she had found herself in almost eight years ago.Her memory wipped clean,nothing but her name remained in her concience.Hugging her knees close like a lost child,Alice sighed,letting her overly long black hair fall like spider webs over her shoulders and down her back.With her bandaged left hand she brushed her fringe out the way.All around her the raindrops plopped onto the statues,the ground,the shrubby plants and the large marble angel's wing above her head.Her hyper sensitive hearing caught every sound around her...

Though as much as this scene was calming her,Alice hated the one fact she had to face: She was alone.Again.

A crunch on the damp gravel made her turn.Alice saw,with her bland vision,a man.Her bandaged eyes made her expression hard to read.The man,whom she had identified as a vampire, gave her such a warm smile that her dead heart tingled.Kindness was something Alice was unused to and something she can't remember.Slowly,she stood up.Elegant in every movement.Her dark blue dress ruffled at the movement and Alice gently patted the fabric down neatly.
''Me..? I'm Alice'' her voice was musical,cool like the rain that still fell.Her pink lips twitched into her gentle smile.This vampire posed no threat.She could feel it.And right now,Alice didn't want to be alone.

With her timid smile,Alice shook Danny's hand lightly.She blinked behind the bandages at his offer.
''...Oh I'd love to'' Alice nodded,feeling that uneasy feeling slowly dissapearing.She walked next to Danny,her steps nimble and she even twirled.It's been a while since she had shared a walk with someone.Alice peeked up at her companion,seeing his gentle expression was refreshing somehow.The raindrops tickled at her pale skin but,she didn't mind.''Hmmm...so quiet...'' she hummed.

''New...?Maybe'' Alice said vaguely ''I'm not sure.Perhaps I've been here before but,due to my amnesia,I can't be sure'' she said simply.This was a story that she's told a lot of people,it was routine now.She stopped and looked up at the sky,feeling water hit her face.Her smile was gone.Those painful emotions she hid away were trying to show themselves.She wouldn't let that happen.So she just smiled again,a bit forced this time.Alice didn't want her new companion to feel pity for her or be troubled because of her missing past.

It was rare for people to not ask further questions.Danny was proving to be very understanding.Alice smiled when she felt his hand across her cheek,a warm gesture.
''Destiny huh...?Well,as long as you like it'' Alice nodded and twirled again,Danny twirling her instinctively.After looking up again,Alice smiled.The sky was dimming and so was the rain.She reached behind her head and undid the knot on her bandage,letting it slide off onto her neck.Rather sheepishly,her eyes opened,revealing the ice blue iris that would make even the best cut saphire look like an average rock.

Her eyes had provoked a lot of strange events but...THIS? Alice was already supprised when Danny held her like that,his touch sent shivers up her spine.The hand that cupped her cheek was so gentle yet strong at the same time.The words got stuck in her throat...Then,her lips were taken by his.Nothing more could be said.Her body just went limp,almost,supported by Danny.The feeling scared her but,she didn't dislike it.

Seeing his distressing face,Alice frowned and was beside him in an instant.
''It's ok....It's ok.My eyes are like that...I'm not upset'' Alice could feel his apologetic feelings.She looked straight into his dark eyes,seeing exactly how much of an affect her ice blue flames were having on him.With a sigh she took one of his hands,holding it gently with her own.''For a half demon like me,who disgusts normal vampires,to feel wanted was a mere dream until now'' she told him ''Thank you''

If he had given her enough time to reply,she would have said yes without holding anything back.Pleasant shudders went down her spine,a blush crept up her cheeks.Alice didn't even know she could blush...She leaned into him,kissing him back gently.For a moment,her worries and anything else negative was pushed back to the very edge of her mind as if they were never there.

Every raindrop hit them both hard but,Alice could just barely feel it.She almost gasped as Danny's emotions seemed to pour into her...Her bottled up telepathic powers were showing her this.It was so beautiful.Passion in its purest form perhaps.She wrapped her arms around him,getting impossibly closer to him.Their lips moving in synchronisation with each other.This was a moment that Alice would never forget.Not like her other memories.Never.She prayed that she will never lose this precious moment.

''Sure....'' Alice laughed lightly,her musical voice sounded like a whisper due to the fact that she was still getting her breath back.His silky smooth voice made her feel dreamy...But not as good at his kiss that's for sure.Feeling her hand being squeezed,Alice squeezed his hand back,telling him that she would take his offer.''You have a place in mind..?'' her tone was teasing as she smiled gently.

Alice didn't mind...Wondering around was fun at times but,she halted when her telepathic powers switched on.Danny's thoughts filled her mind for a split second and she looked up at him.''...You don't need to worry...I'm fine like this.With you'' she told him,only truth in her voice ''I'm happy right now...Unless you are not?'' Alice wouldn't want him to feel confused.She seemed to be the cause of it.

She sighed happily.Her powers can only read partial thoughts.For once she was glad that she had read it wrong.''I'm glad'' Alice smiled as Danny kissed her nose.She could feel the loving feeling radiate off him as their bodies stood so close to each other.Alice made a bell-like purring sound when she felt his cool hands against her skin.Pure bliss.

Her ever still heart jumped hard as Alice's eyes grew wide.To hear those words made unimagibable feelings stir up.The emotions that she thought was lost along with her memories.Her hands reached up,cupping Danny's face,running gently down his strong jawline.It took a few moments for Alice to reply.
''I love you,too...'' she whispered only for him to hear.Tears were building up behind her eyelids,making those gem-like eyes glisten like morning dew.
