What happened to your heart?

Aliceabella's frown increased. "Oh, that sort of trade." She bit her lip.

Ryland nodded as he exited the building. They were followed by a small group. Two of the vampires holding little bundles of blanket in their arms.

Aliceabella blinked at the bundles. "Um...Do I want to know?" She looked up at Ryland.

Ryland shrugged, "Probably not but soon we'll feed. Even if you are pregnant you still need blood."

Aliceabella nodded. "Just don't get your arm broken." She mumbled.

"I won't," He ruffled her hair, a rare sign of affection. Experimentally he reached out with his mind. Heafy?

Aliceabella giggled quietly, surprised at his actions.

Alone? Ryland chuckled inwardly. It was inevitable. Come back. He looked at Aliceabella, "You shouldn't be walking outside like this."

Aliceabella looked up at him. "I'm fine." She protested.

Where are you? Ryland looked around, judging the distance between himself and Matt.

Aliceabella wrapped her arms around her stomach without realising she was doing it.

Ryland almost raised an eyebrow as he turned onto the right street. Chose to be alone? You have the power to take what you want.

Aliceabella winced as one of the vampires shoved her forward when they decided she wasn't walking fast enough.

"Dresden Avenue," Ryland read the street sign with a smirk. No one can stop you. If you want something, someone, take it.

Aliceabella frowned, not understanding what was so special about this street.
