At least one thing was clear; one of us wasn't going to make it out alive. I was going to make sure it was me, though that can be very hard to do when the other person is Stefan.
He is always so eager to die for me, though I return the feeling entirely.
I was hiding behind a tree just a few yards away from him, while four other vampires (?) were holding him down. One with HUGE muscles and curly black hair was holding him in a kneeling position by his shoulders. Another male was holding his arms out to the side; he had curly golden hair and scratches all over his body. Just looking at him frightened me; he looked like he could do some serious damage. The one holding his head to the side had long golden hair and looked like she could be the beat up one's twin. Standing next to him was a little girl with short black hair. I would use her.
Moving as fast as I could I ran up to her and grabbed her, taking a few steps back after that. Both wrists in my right hand, I held her head the way they held Stefan's in the other. Every one was suddenly full of stress and fear, Stefan and me shaking, and every one else frozen like statues.
I absolutely hated what I had to do next. "Let him go or the girl dies. "I hissed. Nobody moved. I jerked her head more to the side as if fore infancies and they slowly let him go. I motioned with my eyes for him to move away from them, and he did.
I let the girl go and in the next second I was in Stefan's embrace. Our joy was short lived though; too soon he let me go and turned to face the others, me protectively behind him. We both apparently agreed that we couldn't out run them. They were too fast.
You run, I'll hold them off." Stefan whispered to me, so low I could hardly hear.
"No dice. How about the other way around?" He didn't get his chance to refuse like I knew he would. Suddenly I felt cold hands like shackles around my wrists, and another pair holding my face to the side. I gasped then gave a short scream of exasperation. I was pushed in to a kneeling position like Stefan had been so it would be hard to get back up, especially with no hands.
Stefan spun around and immediately tackled the one holding my head. I managed to stand up and kicked the one behind me hard, in what felt like the stomach. They released me, and I quickly grabbed Stefan off the red head he was attacking. We both made a run for it but were stopped when something warm, fury, and three times my size tackled me to the ground. I looked down to see two huge paws on my chest. I heard loud growling and looked up to see a giant wolf head, teeth exposed in my face.
