Once Upon A Time and Jasmine
"You're not going to be tested," Alec said, still seeming to be a bit groggy. It had been an unexpectedly long day and his body didn't appreciate being woken up. "You can't go. There's no way that you can hide your powers, and revealing them to the government is absolutely out of the question."He raised an eyebrow at her mention of human towns. "Human towns?" he asked curiously, "Now that would be a sight to see. Highly impressive if they've managed to make self-sustaining towns without us realizing it, but yes, I doubt they'd let any perfect in."
He fell silent and just looked at her for a moment, unsure of what to say to her. He wanted to assure her that she wouldn't die - he certainly didn't want her to die - but he didn't know how to help her. "Not if I can help it," he finally responded.
She looked up at him. "I. Sorry for waking you up." She whispered looking down. "I'm sorry you have to deal with this." She said. She took a shaky breath. "How?" She asked. She looked at him. "They will find out and if they can keep under control I can and will not be able to stop myself from doing things I regret" she said."Yeah there's supposed to be one. Maybe they could let me in I do remember everything but then again I control things." She looked down and sighed some. "I'm a freak?" She asked.
"It's fine," he assured her, now seeming now awake than he had only moments before. It was as if the new information and the crisis at hand was enough to wake him up. "Don't apologize. And I mean you're not going to go to testing. By that time we'll be gone," he said with a mischievous grin. "Maybe there really are human towns. I guess we'll find out!" Alec said happily, seeming excited at the idea of it all. "And of course you're not a freak. You're just different. There's nothing wrong with that, Aaliyah."
She looked at him and smiled some. "I guess your not that for a perfect but I have to get my brother out. I'm not leaving without him." She said sternly. She looked up at him begging him. "Anyways that's good." She said."But i feel like I am different." She whispered. "That I need to be like everyone else." She said. She looked down some. She took a deep breath. "I'm sorry." She said. "I don't want anyone getting hurt."
Alec frowned at her and scratched his head, repressing the urge to sigh. "At this point I can make no promises about your brother. If he has already been changed then odds are there's no getting him back. Unless it's a genetic thing," he mused, murmuring more to himself now than to her. He let himself trail off in thought for a moment before coming back. "You are different, very different, but please stop apologizing. You don't control what powers you get when you're changed. If we learn how you can control them then we can prevent anyone from getting hurt. In the meantime, I know how to get you under control," he said simply with a sly grin.
She looked up at him. Her eyes watered some. She looked down some. She was trying to hold in the tears. She bit her lip and made it rain hard. She wiped her eyes and looked up. "I understand." She said. She did to want to talk anymore. She kept listening trying not to pay attention to him. She failed her little brother.She perked her head up. "And how do you control me?" She asked. She looked up at him. She wanted to know what he was think and why. She was curious. She took a deep breath. "So how do you know how to do this?" She asked. "People will notice im different." She said.
Alec looked at her and moved closer to her, sitting on the edge of the couch. "Chin up," he said softly, lightly lifting her chin. "There may be hope for your brother yet. Don't look so down."He chuckled at what appeared to be enthusiasm and shook his head. "That one is a secret that you'll find out later. As for control, I don't know how to do that. It'll be trial and error. If you stay calm then the weather won't change, so they won't notice you in that way. As for the control...well that'll just take a lot of will power and teeth gritting until I can come up with something better," Alec said with a slight shrug.
She looked into his eyes. She didn't move from that spot. She smiled some. Her heart seemed to be racing. "I know but some of that hope is gone." She said. She frowned some. She didn't want to break the way he was looking at her. "Yeah." She whispered. "Hope."She smiled some. "Why don't you tell me?" She asked. She paused. "I hide my emotions so I guess this is away to let it out without no one seeing how I feel."'she said. Knowing it was raining. She wanted to cry but didn't. "You don't understand. Picture having human brains everywhere and they reach out to you and you grab it. This is what we have here." She said.
Alec chuckled and shook his head, a sly smile playing on his lips. "You'll find out later," he repeated. He listened as she spoke, pursing his lips as he tried to think of ways to make things easier for her. "You're right," he said bluntly, "I don't understand. I have no idea. All I know is that it needs to be controlled somehow. We'll figure it out."He looked at her and smiled. "What we really need to figure out though is how we're going to see about your brother, how we're going to leave before your ability interview, and where on earth we're going to go. No big deal, right?" he asked with a wink.
She looked at him and smiled some. She looked at him and felt his mind coming in hers. She frowned some. "I feel your mind." Her voice changed. She started to panic. She was upset some. "I dont mind taking your mind." She closed her eyes. "Im going to take your mind."Her eyes looked up. "Why save my brother when its the best for him. It will make him better. WHy would we leave/" She was curious.
Alec gritted his teeth and shook his head, shutting his eyes tight for a moment as he tried to make sure she couldn't get to him. "Aaliyah, stop. Please." He didn't understand how she could go from her normal self to a control hungry perfect within a couple seconds. He had never experienced anything like this."What do you mean why?" he asked through gritted teeth. He was getting nowhere with this back and forth game and it was almost tempting to just let her be and see what the government would do with her, but he knew that he couldn't do that.
Alec let out a sigh through his teeth, which sounded more like a hiss than anything else, and leaned forward. He hesitated before moving to kiss her again, hoping it would have the same effect that it had last time.
She looked at him with an evil grin. "No im not doing anything wrong." She didnt fee like she was doing anything wrong with him. "I will not stop because i like it. Why would we save stupid human who needs to be like us?" She asked him confused about that. She was perfectly fine in her eyes. She heard the hiss. It sounded like he didnt want her at all. she should go control something. He then kissed her. She smiled some and melted against him. She snapped out of it.
Alec felt her melt against him and had a feeling she had snapped out of it, but he held out the kiss a little longer anyway, slowly pulling back to look at her. "Is Aaliyah back?" he asked with a smile, raising an eyebrow as he did so.He hadn't moved back very far from her and didn't feel the need to. As long as she wasn't trying to take over his mind, well he kind of liked her. Not that he would ever admit it to anyone who asked. She was still far too human in her normal state for any perfect to like - or at least, far too human and so the perfects weren't supposed to like her.
She nodded her head and looked up at him. She smiled some. She nodded her head. "I'm sorry." She said. She looked down. Was he playing with her. Did he really like her? She was still thinking and trying to think about it,she knew the rules she was too much human for him. She held in her tears eyes. She sighed some. "I'm sorry for um doing that." She said. She was sorry for not being a perfect. She was hurt. Why did she even care. He made her in a monster.
"Don't worry about it," Alec said with a smile, "Now that you're back we have to talk about some important stuff, alright?" He paused for a moment, unsure of what he wanted to say and the order he wanted to say these things in. "So we have to work out a way to find out about your brother, we have to find a way to get out of here before your ability testing, and we need a place to run to."He sighed and ran a hand through his brown hair. He looked curiously at Aaliyah, shaking his head and chuckling. "I never should have changed you," he said wistfully.
She nodded her head slowly. "I don't know." She whispered. She looked at him. "Um you said my brother it would be too late and I don't care anymore if I get caught my brother is gone and that's all I had left." She said. "I should be leaving soon." She said. She was hurt he didn't like her they would never work out. "I'm sorry for being such a burden." She got up and walked slowly to the door. "I don't care anymore maybe they could find a use for a freak and a monster like me,"
Alec frowned as she talked - this seemed very unlike her. Why would she be willing to give up on her brother? "I can find out about your brother and it wouldn't raise suspicions," he explained slowly, "If he's still human don't you want to get him out?" He couldn't understand this abrupt change in attitude. He briefly wondered if it had been the kiss. Maybe it had been wrong of him to linger. "You're not a burden."He quickly stood up as she walked to the door and he grabbed her wrist, gently wrapping his fingers around it. "You're not a freak or a monster," Alec said softly, "Don't say those things about yourself. Please sit back down and we can figure this out. Don't go.."
"It doesn't matter." She shouted. "I don't care anymore ok." She said. She wasn't wanted. "Yes I am the only reason your here is because you feel bad I don't need your pity or anyone else." She said. She was upset holding the tears in. "I did what I can do this wouldn't happened if you would of just let me go." She was afraid to fall for him. She knew he was falling for him then he wouldn't chose her because she was too human."Yes I am. I am a perfect that's good enough there." She said. She was over reacting and they started to send the gas out. She froze some. She fall over some. "So tired." She whispered.
"I feel bad that I changed you, but I by no means pity you," Alec said in a low voice. "You're right, none of this would have happened if I had let you go, but I didn't, and the past can't be changed. You can either stay here and risk being killed by the government or turned into their human tracking device, or we can find somewhere else to go."He opened his mouth to say more but noticed that she was freezing up. He cursed under his breath, remembering about the gas. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder to steady her and led her back to the couch so that she could sit down. "You're thinking too much," Alec said softly, "Your emotions are getting too out of hand."
She looked at him. Trying to think of something else to say. She couldn't think of anything. She was shaking. "I'm sorry." She whispered. She looks down relaxing. She stopped thinking. "I did nothing wrong. I'm just upset because I don't want to fall for you." She said. She wasn't herself. "But I am and I know it won't work." She said.She closed her eyes slowly. She was so happy. "I'm so happy. I don't want to get hurt." She whispered.
"Upset...because you don't want to fall for me?" Alec asked slowly, now even more confused than he had been just moments before. He looked down at her with a bemused expression on his face. "Why wouldn't it work?" he asked softly, leaning closer towards her. "Who says it wouldn't work?"He watched her close her eyes and traced her jawline with his pinky. "I won't let you get hurt," Alec murmured.
She nodded her head slowly. She opened her eyes. Her heart was pumping fast. "Because I'm too human for being a perfect." She said. She didn't want to leave him. "I'm falling for you and I hate your guts but your different." She said. She was confessing things she wouldn't normally do. But she was under the gas. She wanted to snuggled into him."Are you saying it would work out?" She said. She was curious.
You are too human for being a perfect. Far too human, and that should make me want to turn you in. It should me want you to be different. But it doesn't," he said quietly. "It fascinates me and excited me and makes me glad to see there's someone else who's not just another clone."He paused and was torn between laughing and frowning, instead settling for an amused smirk. "I'm sorry to hear that you hate my guys, that's quite upsetting for me." Alec chuckled lightly before answering her final question. "That's exactly what I'm saying."
"But I can be a perfect I can." She whispered softly. "But I like the way I am if I and I would change for you." She said. She would do anything for him. She was falling under the gas. "I could become a better perfect for you." She said. Her eyes were drooping from the gas. She closed her eyes again.She smiled and nodded her head. "I hope it would work out." She smiled and opened her eyes. She realized she wasn't a puppet. "You didn't hear me say any those things. I don't like you." She said.
His smirk remained intact as she spoke and he shook his head. "I don't want you to change for me. I want you to stay exactly the way you are. I don't want a better perfect." Alec watched as her eyes dropped closed and he realized it was the gas making her talk. He wondered how much of it she had actually meant. Alec frowned once she came back to him, something glimmering in his grey eyes - was he hurt? "You don't?" he asked impassively, looking almost weary.
She looked down blushing some. "I don't." She said looking at him. She didn't like him but he didn't need to know that. Her face was saying she liked him. She paused. "I'm not lying and there's no way you can prove I like you." She said. She would changed anything for him. Her eyes darted up.He liked her the way she was? She was happy. She smiled some and looked down. She was strong. "I don't need a man." She said.
He noticed her blushing but said nothing, moving back a little. "I believe you," he said simply, as if that's all there was to it. "I wouldn't try to force anything out of you or see if you were lying. If you say you don't like me then I have no choice but to believe you. Don't worry, I'm a big boy, I can take it."Alec couldn't help but laugh after a moment, his impassive demeanor now gone. "I never said you needed a man," he said through is laughter, "Hell, if I go out with a girl it's because I like her, not because I think she needs a man." He shook his head, unable to stop himself from laughing.
She looked down. She was still blushing a lot. She nodded her head some. She was happy. Did he like her back? Was he making fun of her? She was so confused. She never liked a boy let alone a perfect but after all she was one to. "You don't believe." She said, "I'm a good liar but I messed up the lying." Wait she just told him."I mean I wasn't lying about that." She said. She looked up at him. "Well it's not like you can prove I'm lying?" She paused."what's your ability?" She asked.
"Aaliyah," Alec chuckled, "is this the gas, or are you just a nervous wreck right now?" Try as he might he just couldn't keep himself from laughing. He had never expected her to behave this way - not in a million years. "You just gave yourself away," he snickered, finding the whole scenario highly amusing."My power?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "Wouldn't you like to know." He grinned at her and shook his head, lifting a finger to his lips. "It's a secret."
He was laughing at her? Did this mean he didn't like her. "No I'm not a nervous wreck I'm just confused." She said. She didn't know if she was hurt. Or was she over reacting? She didn't know how to deal with boys? "I can always find out you know I can easily find out." She smiled. She looked at him and went for his mind. She looked up at him. "Alec tell me your abilities." She said in a commanding words. She was trying to stay positive and not mess things up. She loved the power and took the rest. She was pleased at herself. She liked controlling things.
As she spoke his smile quickly faded. "Aaliyah don't," he said quickly, "you can't just control people whenever you want something!" His protests however were in vain, just as he knew they would be. Within moments she had taken his kind and he had no choice but to do what she told him."I have two powers," he said bluntly, unable to stop himself. "One that the government knows about and one that the government does not. The one they are aware of is absolute darkness. I can create a force field of absolute darkness."
She smiled some. "I can and will do what I want." Her whole mood changed. She was herself but still she was falling for the power quickly than the other times that happened. She was smiling. She was so happy. She didn't say anything else at the moment. "Very good." She said. "Now tell me the power the government doesn't know about." Deep down she knew what she was doing was wrong. But she loved it. She looked at him some more. It was so much fun to do. She didn't realize why it was wrong.
Alec bit his lip, part of him trying to resist her control. This power had been hidden for a reason - it was considered too powerful. He would be considered too dangerous. No one was ever supposed to find this out about him - it could put him in danger. But he couldn't resist her powers as hard as he tried."Ability mimicry," he said through gritted teeth, unable to stop himself from doing so. "I can mimic the powers of anyone around me."
She stopped he could take her powers. She was doing something wrong. She closed her eyes. She had tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry I didn't mean too do that." She did mean to do that. "I'm sorry I'm a monster I controlled you and I liked and I wanted to keep doing it," She looked down someShe was upset. "I'm stupid monster who's a danger to society." She said. "I controlled you and I like it." She couldn't get over the face that she liked doing it. "I wanted to know but I wasn't going to but the mind and I grabbed it and I liked."
Alec let out a deep breath once she finally let him go, running a hand through his hair. He looked up and frowned at the sight of the tears in her eyes, immediately pulling her into him for a hug. "You're not a monster. It's hard for people to resist the urge to control, and with a power like yours it's even harder to resist. Don't call yourself a monster, Aaliyah."He pulled back and looked down at her, frowning. "Please don't start crying, and don't call yourself stupid. As soon as we figure out how to control this you won't be a danger to anyone."
((Sorry I thought I replied))She nodded her head some with the tear in her eyes. She didn't want to cry. "I'm sorry I don't cry I just feel like my life is coming down and falling apart. I couldn't cry when my parents were died I had to stay strong. I never got a chance to sit down and relax and be a kid because I had to grow up and I didn't i just don't know mean any of this. I'm sorry for showing how I feel you." She said
She was shaking some. She backed away from the hug. "I'm sorry I don't need to cry I need to stay away from people and not to fall for people I need to keep strong that's all I know." She said.
((It's fine))"You don't have to apologize," he said softly. "It's okay, I promise. All of this is okay and you're going to be okay. It's okay if you cry and you don't have to apologize for showing me how you feel. We can figure this out. We can figure it all out."
Alec looked almost hurt when she backed away from him but he followed suit, moving back a little bit as well. "You are strong," he said simply, "Crying doesn't change that and neither does falling for anyone. I hope you realize that."
((Yeah I thought I did and waited for you to reply))She looked at him and nodded her head some. She looked at him. "I'm sorry about backing away I just don't know what else to do but push everything away but my little brother" she said. She looked at him. She didn't mean. "And if I do cry and want to be held by someone it makes me feel that I'm selfish."
She sighed some. She looked down. "I like you yes but I was taught to always hate perfects and now I'm one sort of but I'm like you there and I want to bawl my eyes and cry like a little kid because I held in forever."
He watched her carefully and listened as she spoke, biting his lower lip as he tried to come up with a comforting response. "Given your history, that's not surprising," he said simply, "but there's nothing selfish about wanting to be held by someone when you cry. Most people want that. It's sort of a natural desire, you want someone to be there to comfort you in your time of need."Alec paused for a moment, unsure of how to continue. So she did like him. Did he like her? As ridiculous as it may have been, yes, he did like her. Rather than address everything she said he decided to go with the first thing that came to mind. "So cry."
She nodded her head. "I'm good at comforting but not being comforted." She said with a small smile. She looked down some and smiled. She ran to him and hugged him. She started to cry. "I haven't cried in forever." She whispered. She was trying not to cry but it wasn't working at all. She was so upset."My mom and dad died when I was 10 I add to stay strong for my baby brother who was just a baby." She whispered. "I blocked everything out and I didn't want help from no one." She said.
Alec's eyes widened in surprise as she ran to him, but he quickly regained his composure and hugged her back, letting her cry. His problem? He generally wasn't good at comforting people. Often times he didn't care enough about others to even bother trying to comfort them, but this time was different. Now he wanted to comfort someone, and he was completely lost as to what he should do. "It's not good to hold things in for so long," he said quietly, "all it does is build up inside of you until it becomes too much to handle.""Of course you had to stay strong for him," Alec murmured, "but in the process you stopped taking care of yourself. You were strong for him, but who was strong for you? You can't block everyone out. Everyone needs help sometimes. Everyone."
She looked up at him. She was nervous. She was crying more than she ever did. "I miss them so much they promised to come back home and they didn't it was right before we were going to leave to go to a town full of humans but they took them and I don't know what happened." She said. "They never came back I took care of him but I failed." She paused. "I didn't have time to take care of me I had to grow up at 10 I had to take care of my brother or get pity on and I wasn't going to let that happen." She whispered.She backed away a little. "I'm sorry." She said. " I don't ever know why I told you. You don't like me." She whispered. She wiped the tears away.
He tried not to frown as he listened to her story - he knew that she didn't want any pity, and he worried that if he frowned she would freak and think that he was pitying her. He suddenly felt immensely bad for having taken her to get changed at all. He had never stopped to think about the lives of those he had taken to get changed. "Don't say that you failed," Alec said firmly, "you don't know that yet. There's a possibility that they haven't changed him yet."He sighed as she backed away from him and apologized again despite the number of times he had told her not to. His brow furrowed in confusion and he looked at her with an unreadable expression. "Who said I don't like you?" he asked, confusion audible in his voice. "If I didn't like you then we wouldn't be sitting here right now. I wouldn't have held you as you cried. If I didn't like you then you'd be dealing with the government right now as they decided what to do about your powers. How on earth did you get the impression that I don't like you?"
She looked at him trying to think about why he didn't like her? She couldn't think of anything to say. She looked down some. She didn't know anything. "Because you wouldn't like a human who happens to be a perfect you would like them or do anything with them. You wouldn't date them because they are top human you wouldn't want anything to do with them because it's your job to take care of me." She said. She was doing what she did best push away. She looked down and backed away. She frowned. "It's okay though I was a stupid fool to think that I had a chance to have anything." She said. "Let them find me it's not like I have anyone that would care." She said.
She ran out the door shaken up. She didn't think she deserved to relax.. She curled in a ball in an alley way and started to cry.
"Aaliyah, don't you get it? That's exactly why I like you," Alec said firmly, "You're not just some perfect. You're not a clone who has fallen under the control of this corrupt government. This started off because I had to take care of you, yes, but it's grown. I'm with you here not because I have to be but because I want to be. Don't you get that?" he questioned, a pleading look in his grey eyes.He watched - torn - as she backed away, and he didn't want to hear anymore of what she was saying. "You have a chance at everything. Aaliyah, I care!"
Alec let out a groan as she left, quickly getting up and running after her. He was frustrated at the fact that she simply wouldn't listen to what it was he was trying to tell her - he did like her! Who wouldn't? He found her in an alley and slowed to a walk, unsure of what to do. "Aaliyah, please listen," he said softly, sounding almost defeated, "I like you, okay? I really do."
Alec watched her cry, frowning as she did so. This was the last thing he had ever wanted to happen to her. He smiled when she looked up, chuckling lightly as she ran to him. "Yes, I like you," he replied with a smile, hugging her back.He looked down at her and resisted the urge to raise an eyebrow as she talked on. "You do need to start taking care of yourself," he agreed seriously. He shook his head, the whisper of a smile playing across his lips. "I don't want you to be anything like them," he said softly.
Alec couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at her last statement, his willpower crumbling. "You're used to boys falling for you?"
((Sorry about that my account is messing up))She was blushing. She looked at him with a smile. she liked him and he liked her. she was so happy. She was amazed about him. "You like me?"She repeated.
She nodded her head. "I guess my brother seemed to be the importance and i needed to take care of him because he is all i have left." She whispered softly. "I will do anything to start."
"Yes always at the camps flirting with me and trying to kiss me and dogging perfects and all that suppose to be impressive."
((It's fine))Alec merely laughed rather than answer her again, nodding his head in response. He would've never guessed that someone as strong as she was would act so girly when confronted by a guy that she liked.
"Your brother is important, so I don't blame you for devoting all of your attention towards him," he replied, looking down at her with a look of understanding in his eyes. "But you're important too."
He pursed his lips at the thought of other guys trying to impress her and shook his head, repressing the urge to roll his eyes. "Sounds foolish."
She looked at him. He was laughing and then shaking his head yes. She smiled faintly trying to hold anything else that would act like she was upset. She was acting like a stupid girly girl. She took a breath. she just nodded her head again in response.
She knew he was going to roll in his eyes. she was hurting inside. "Well unlike you i thought it was quite romantic because no one could get me to go with anyone" She said. She took looked down.
She felt his mind and closed her eyes. She took his mind with tears down her eyes. "Alec forget everything about me liking you and forget about me." She said. She was crying. She ran away. She let his mind go.
"This is all I need to be different." She sighed. "I don't like the idea of being tested for my abilities to see what I'm suppose to do." She said. "If only the stories of the humans having their on town were true. But I doubt they would let a perfect in."
She sighed some. "I'm going to die aren't i?"
