hey guys! I just wanted to say that I worked pretty hard on this chapter and that I'll probably update pretty soon- maybe even today! Enjoy!
It was obvious. Diego was dead. Riley must have killed him. I tried to control my emotions, but it was futile. There was no point to keep on going now.
I stared. The yellow-eyes were destroying Riley's army. I needed to leave. If I could get to Fred, I could survive. Backing away, I heard a shriek as a pixie-like vampire destroyed Raoul. I turned back around and started to fade into the trees. A strong arm gripped me around my neck. I struggled.
"Please!" The arm hesitated, and I was flung to the ground. I looked up, glaring at my attacker. A tall blond male was staring at me, with something in his eyes. Compassion, maybe? I didn't need compassion! Fury was raging through me. Why couldn't he just kill me and get it over with? He didn't get it! I wanted to die! I wanted to be with Diego. I needed Diego.
A beautiful woman with dark hair appeared at the man's side.
"Carlisle..." She trailed off, still staring at me. I crouched back into myself. The need to die had faded, and I was curious about these... Yellow-eyes. "She's so frightened, Carlisle. Couldn't we..." The woman said, still looking at me. Her voice was soothing, clear, and calm, like a spring stream washing over the rocks. She and the other yellow-eyed vampire- Carlisle, that was his name- knelt down beside me.
"If you promise not to hurt us, we won't hurt you. Can you do that?" Carlisle asked.
I nodded. Maybe these strange vampires would help me. But I couldn't get my hopes up. Maybe they were lying. Would they do that? They seemed more trustworthy and powerful than Riley. They must not be bad. Riley had lied, so obviously they were good... Or better than Riley had been. "Yes. I didn't want to fight... I just came here looking for something."
The woman looked confused, and so did Carlisle, but I still got up slowly and followed them. They walked out of the forest into the clearing. There were several other vampires there- yellow-eyes. One of them, a tough looking lean male vampire, turned to face us. He had lank blond hair and he glared as he saw me. He crouched down into a defensive stance and snarled, his gaze locked on me. I swallowed, nervous. Maybe they weren't so kind after all. The woman looked at me, her gaze meeting my eyes. I looked down.
"Jasper, she's fine. She surrendered. She didn't want to fight." So that was the name of the mad vampire. Jasper.
Carlisle and the woman walked over to Jasper to converse with him. I stood there, unsure of myself. That feeling didn't last for long. Soon it was replaced with grief. Diego. I closed my eyes, and trying to compose myself. I turned away from the vampires slightly, and opened my eyes again. I didn't see clearing, or the woods. I saw Diego. Just Diego. He was smiling at me, his dark curly hair being ruffled by the wind, his bright smile glowing in the sun. He was laughing, looking at me, with love.
I felt a hand on my shoulder, shaking me. I didn't want to return. I didn't want to see anything other than Diego.
"Bree. Bree. BREE!" I gasped. I was back in the clearing, and Carlisle was standing in front of me, his hands on my shoulders. He looked worried.
I tried to turn away from him, but he held me there.
"What happened?" He asked.
"Nothing. I was just thinking about something."
He shook his head, and released my shoulders. He looked over at Jasper and the woman. They were standing right next to me. Jasper looked angry, and the woman looked concerned.
"Esme, can you go see how the others are doing? I need to see to the wolves. Jasper, take her." Carlisle walked away without a second look back at me, and Esme walked after him.
I turned slowly to look at the scary vampire. He was glaring at me, and I was becoming mad. He gestured at me, and he towed me off towards the other vampires. Jasper made me close my eyes and sit on the ground. Sighing, I complied. It was either this or death, and my original death wish has faded away. I was curious about these yellow-eyed vampires.
I felt myself fade away, as hard as I tried not to. Diego was looking at me, smiling. We were in out underwater cave. The scene changed to sitting in the sunlight, looking at Diego. He was shimmering- no, sparkling in the sunlight. He was beautiful.
From far away I heard shrieks and screams. My eyelids fluttered, and I almost opened them. I realized my mistake instantly. Immediately Jasper was screaming at me. I tried to block out his voice. It was getting annoying.
Obviously, there were more vampires than Riley had said. These screams must be from vampires. I heard their howls and moans, and Carlisle's incessant pleading to look at something- was someone hurt? Eventually the shrieks faded off into the distance. The strange vampires had gone.
Then I smelled it. I smelled the powerful scent of the human girl- was she their pet? I jumped as I heard Jasper growl. What was going on? My eyelids threatened to open, and I felt Jasper's breath on my cheek.
"You open your eyes, you lose." I nodded, though slightly irritated. Who did he think he was, being all defensive and angry all the time? It was like he personally hated me- and he didn't even know me.
Eventually, the other yellow-eyes wandered away, and it was just us. I felt Jasper's glare on me the whole time. Then the wind changed, and I smelled it again. Her. The human. I clutched the ground with my fingers, whimpering in agony. I heard the human whisper to a vampire. Everything hurt so much- so much. I wanted her blood so badly. Jasper growled beside me, and I could feel power emanating from him. He was ready to kill me if I moved.
And then I felt Carlisle next to me.
"We don't want to hurt you, but we will kill if you hurt her." He said. I opened my eyes, and I was taken aback by the pity in his eyes. He couldn't care that much, could he? I looked around, and I saw the human. A vampire with bronze hair glared at me. He held the human around her waist, and I understood. They were mates.
"I'm trying, but my throat hurts so much..." I murmured.
Carlisle nodded. "I understand."
The short, pixie-like vampire I saw kill Raoul called out.
"They're coming!"
