Joren smirked. "I thought you already got the point. Now, what are we going to do? We could stay here or we can move on."

"Now wait a minute! I didn't get a chance to share my feelings!" she protested, looking shocked.

The vampire gave her a confused, incredulous look. "Uh, okay. Go ahead?"

Alice blinked, and gave a shy smile. "Well, I won't go all mushy on you, but of course I care for you, Joren," she murmured softly. "I actually have for a lot longer than you think."

Joren opened his mouth to respond, but then found it closed again as she added a last phrase. He was quiet, and remained in that state before looking back at Alice again. "What do you mean?"

Her smile widened at this. "Psychic, remember?" She tapped the side of her head, rolling her eyes. Then her expression softened, and she explained, "I've caught glimpses of you, all through my.... whatever you call this." She waved a hand around vaguely. "Life, afterlife, death.... Ever since I was 'reborn' and my 'powers' became even stronger, I've known you were part of my future. It was distant, but I knew you would come eventually." Pausing, she seemed to think of something, and then went on, "You know, when I first met you, I wasn't really sure if you were the one. But now I am."

Joren fell quiet again, contemplating this. "That's interesting..." he murmured a bit distantly. He sighed. "Alice, I can't see how you can say that. Whether you want to face it or not, this whole situation is my fault. Now Jane's after us both."

Alice's eyes widened with horror. "What? How in the world did you come to that brilliant conclusion?" Disbelief and sarcasm were both clear in her words. Softening her voice some, she continued, "Joren, you have nothing to do with it. You can't help what Jane does, and either way I agreed to go with you in the first place." her voice grew softer still as she murmured, "I will never, ever blame you for any of this."

Joren shook his head. No, she's wrong. He looked at her, and sighed. "So what do you propose we do?" he asked her again, leaving the matter where it was. He still wanted to think about that before he agreed with any conclusion. "Stay with this group? Or leave?"

Alice frowned at him, about to go on another round of trying to convince him, but she gave it up as he changed the subject. She shrugged, and replied, "I don't know... I guess we can stay with them. I'm assuming you'd want to catch up with your sister..."

"Yeah..." Joren murmured, thinking back to Ravyre. "I have a lot I need to talk to her about. Alright, then why don't we stay for a bit, and then we can talk again about whether we want to leave or continue with them?"

Alice nodded, shrugging again. "Sure."

"Alright then," Joren agreed. "Let's head back."

Alice turned and sprinted off into the trees, glancing back to make sure he was following before she was back in site of the other group.

Joren hurried after her, shortly finding himself in front of the group. He turned to Feren, who was waiting patiently. "We'd like to take you up on the offer to stay with you and your group for now." Feren nodded. "Very well."
