Edward Anthony Masen Cullen
"Is there no other way?" I questioned Carlisle as he stood beside me with his hands clasped behind him.
"If there was another way, then I would not be doing this," He said with a stern voice, but I could tell from his facial expressions.
He didn't want to do this at all.
I slowly walked over to one of the taller windows and peered down. I could see all the cars speeding on the roads and the humans walking on the sidewalks. Some rushing by like they were being chased.
They would be in a matter of minutes most likely.
Of course the ship that we are in is invisible so the humans can not see us. It would ruin our plan if the humans could see what was above them right now. They would all be running in mere seconds.
"When do we descend, Sir?" I looked over my shoulder at Tyler as he walked into the room, shooting a quick glance at the individuals controlling the ship, making sure that we were still not visible to the human eye.
"Soon. We need to find somewhere where we can get out easily and get this done with." Carlisle nodded to Tyler, who gave a quick nod back before leaving the room to most likely tell some other individuals.
"Can you go find Emmett and Jasper please, Edward? They should be in here." I left the room silently without answering Carlisle, and individuals watched me as I passed them in the white hallways, and I turned a corner and narrowed my eyes as I looked down the unlit hallway.
Emmett had Rosalie pushed up against one of the walls, and he was basically just sucking the saliva from her mouth.
This is what Emmett and Rosalie do in their free time.
Free time is over!
"Emmett!" Emmett jumped back from Rosalie's form as he heard my raised voice, and he looked over at me and he smirked at me, looking back at Rosalie, who didn't look happy at my interruption.
Too bad.
"What do you need, Eddie?" He asked with a chuckle as he walked towards me, Rosalie following slowly and sluggishly behind his muscled form.
"You need to be in the control room right now. And don't call me Eddie," I grumbled as I turned around and walked away, listening to Emmett's retreating footsteps as he chuckled at my irritation.
I smiled to everyone as I passed in the long hallways and quickly made my way to Jasper and Alice's room. I knocked on the grey door, and it opened almost instantly to reveal Alice's short form, and she smiled up at me as Jasper came walking up from behind her.
"What do you need Edward?" He asked in his southern drawl, and I clenched my jaw as I smelled Alice's arousal. It's hard to believe that she gets turned on just from his voice, but they are mates, so it's understandable, I suppose.
"Carlisle needs you in the control room. We are descending very soon." I left just as quickly as I had appeared and walked back into the control room, happy and relieved to see Emmett standing by Carlisle, his hands clasped behind him as well.
"Is Jasper coming?" Carlisle asked me as I walked towards him and Emmett, and I nodded just as the door opened and closed once again, and Jasper stopped beside me and clasped his hands behind him just like the rest of us.
"We found a spot that we can drop down on. It's a large building. The humans will not see us until it is too late, Sir," Riley said, his light brown glowing eyes serious as he looked at Carlisle and the rest of us.
Carlisle walked towards the front window and looked down. Looking down at the top of the building that I could not see at the moment.
"This will be perfect. Go and get our strongest men. Bring them back here so we can begin...also get rooms ready and the cuffs...these humans won't be happy at all." Carlisle's voice was sorrowful as he finished with the order. It is obvious that he does not want to do this to the humans, but there is no other choice for us. It is this, or death.
Riley left in a jog while the room became silent, the odd clicking of buttons was the only noise I heard as we waited for Riley to return with the strongest men that we have on this ship.
"Round up everyone that is around. We take the healthy ones and-"
"Kill the sick and dirty ones," I finished, and Carlisle looked over at me with his glowing light blue eyes and nodded, respect clear in his glowing orbs.
My stomach felt sick and my muscles were tight as the door opened, and a little over 20 men walked in with Riley in the front, some looked excited while some did not look happy about this. We all had different thoughts and feelings on this decision of course.
We all stood in a large circle as the floor opened up in the middle of the room, and now the humans could see inside of the ship, just through the hole that was now opened up.
"Begin," Carlisle ordered harshly.
I took a deep breath in through my nose as we all jumped down onto the top of the building, the hole closing behind us quickly. Surprisingly, no humans were aware as of yet about what was going on.
They will soon, I thought solemnly.
"Teleport onto other buildings until you find an alley. Alert us when you find one," Carlisle ordered before he was gone, obviously already looking for an alley that we could all get into so we can ambush these humans.
I closed my eyes and opened them as soon as I felt the tingling leave my body, and I looked over my shoulder at some of the others who were still standing on the building that I started on. I only teleported four buildings.
It took about seven more tries before I found an alley, it wasn't that dark, but it would do for now. It is New York. Lights are on everywhere.
I lifted my right arm and pressed the alert button on the band that was tight against my arm.
"I found an alley. It's big enough to fit us all for now," I said quickly before pressing the button again. I could sense everyone now behind me, and I jumped down into the alley, bending my knees so I was in a couch as I landed, looking at the entrance of the alley as people passed by. Having no idea that something was about to happen to all of them.
Some will get to live, and some will have a different course.
"There is 25 of us. Edward, take 15 men with you and go right. Another 15, come with me." Carlisle stood up straight.
Jasper went to Carlisle while 14 others followed him, and they walked in a straight line with Carlisle in the front while Emmett followed behind me, 14 men following him. Carlisle's group stood against the left wall while mine were on the right, and as soon as no humans walked passed the alley, we made our moves.
Humans that were walking on the sidewalks stopped with wide eyes, and cars had to stop as we lined up on the road, forcing cars to back up into each other.
"Hey, retards! Get off the road!" A man in a yellow and black vehicle yelled, and, knowing Aro's short temper, he raised his right arm and the electric current streamed from his finger tips, frying the man as he slumped down, half hanging out of his open window.
The humans screamed and cars honked as Carlisle gave Aro a stern look, but he just shrugged and opened his mouth, his long, pointy tongue rolling out of his mouth until it hung to his collar-bone. He let out the high-pitched noise from his throat that did nothing to us. We all followed suit as our pointy tongues hung to our collar bones, and the high-pitched noise brought every human being to the ground limply. The humans in the cars just slumped back against their seats or the steering wheels.
"Easy enough," Mike commented, looking relieved that it wasn't even difficult.
"We still have the entire city. Call in more men to cover everywhere else," Carlisle yelled out as he started running left, Jasper and the rest of his group following close behind him in long, faster than human strides.
"You heard him. Call in more men!" The others obeyed as I shouted to them, and I lifted my arm as my band vibrated against my wrist.
"What?" I asked, and Tyler's voice came through instantly, but he sounded out of breath.
That's unusual.
"Why are you so out of breath?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow as Emmett watched me closely while the group around us called in more men.
"I had to rush around and get a new band. Mine seems to be broken," He replied, sounding nervous. He probably thinks I'm going to yell at him. Whatever.
"I need you to bring down two of the ships. We have a lot of humans to check and then bored," I said, looking around me at all the humans who now laid on the ground unconscious.
In the background I could hear men yelling out orders for more men to be sent down to us.
"Ah, yes. There should be two coming down right now as we speak, Sir." I looked up and watched as the two large ships slowly came down before hovering over me and the men.
The bottom of the ships opened and 17 men jumped out, ready to help with checking for the healthy humans, and the none healthy humans.
"I'll talk to you later, Tyler." I pressed the button and started picking up humans and laying them down in a line in the middle of the street, easily pushing cars aside as we worked on getting people out of buildings and out of cars.
I looked over along with the rest as we heard the growling, and I watched Eric as he looked down at the furry creature that was looking up at him, its eyes wide and its furry lips pulled back in a snarl, showing him his pointy yellow teeth.
What is it called again?
Oh yes! A dog.
"Just kill the damn thing. We have no use for it...its homeless anyways. It's not useful anywhere," I said to him, and the dog scampered forward to latch onto Eric's material covered leg, but Eric already had his arm out and the dog was fried, laying on the ground stiff and dead.
"Now, get back to work," I commanded.
"Hey, Edward! We're all done!" I looked at Riley and Emmett as they walked over with two humans each in their arms, and they placed them down in the long line that stretched down the road.
"Let's get started then," I said to the 27 men that stood around me. Another 27 men were of course sent to Carlisle as well, so he should have plenty of help at the moment.
I started with the first human laying limp in the line, and we all took a human. We would all be checking 28 humans at once. This will hopefully be done quickly and without problems.
I looked down at the teenaged boy. His hair was jet black and was tied with a red rubber band. His damn hair went to the middle of his back. His copper skin looked even darker now that it was dark, but the bright lights around us seemed dumb to us. We could see in the dark just fine. My kind of species eyes glow...like a glow stick.
I crouched down until I hovered over the boy, he looked no older than 16, but his body looked like it belonged to someone who worked out everyday. He almost had the muscles like Emmett.
I nudged my nose into the crook of the boys neck and took a slow, deep breath. The only thing I could smell that was bad, was smoke. So he's a smoker, that won't harm anything that we will be using him for.
I hoisted the boy over my shoulder and pushed him up into one of the two ships and moved onto the next human, a much younger boy. Oh yes, it also depends on age.
The boy had dark brown hair and tanish skin. He looked about 12 or 13. That's about the youngest that we will be able to have on the ship for the purpose that we're planning on using these humans for.
I sniffed his neck, and he was completely healthy. He looked fit, so I suspected that he was healthy.
I got him up into one of the ships before I finished up with about 33 more humans, and I only had to kill 19 of them.
"Carlisle notified me. He's still finishing up with the others. He'll meet us up in the ship, and we'll go and finish up the rest of the city once we got everyone chained up and all that," Emmett said as he walked over to me with Riley and the others following, looking hungry, but still very much alert.
I raised my wrist back up and close to my mouth.
"You can take the ships back up. Open the control room floor as well, please and thank you." I looked at the others before looking around making sure no one was left behind, all the dead humans were laying on the ground still, of course. Bleeding and lifeless. It made my mouth dry and it made my stomach churn as I thought about what we all just did.
But like I said before. It's this, or we all die.
We looked up as the two ships connected back to the much larger ship, and the control room opened up, and we teleported back in, even though we could have easily jumped right in.
"Got it all done?" Tyler asked as he walked towards us with raised eyebrows.
"Yes. Let me know when Carlisle and his group are done and back," I said as I turned around and left the room while running my fingers through my hair as I walked down one of the hallways.
"Good job, Edward! It's already going around that you caught the youngest one of them all!" I nodded to one of the individuals as he patted me on the shoulder as we passed each other.
I finally made my way to Carlisle and Esme's room, and I knocked and entered as I heard Esme's soft voice invite me in.
I closed the door behind me before leaning against it and looking at Esmé, who sat on her and Carlisle's bed, reading a book, but I couldn't see the cover of it.
"Carlisle and his group should be back soon," I said as I approached slowly, sitting down on the edge of the bed as Esmé placed her book behind her before she looked up at me.
Esmé is like a mother figure to me, so is Carlisle. Their the ones who took me in after my parents died from an attack that happened from another species from a whole other planet. They just attacked. For no reason. I don't let myself dwell on the memories, though.
"How did it go? Was it easy?" Esmé looked me up in down with her caramel eyebrows pushed forwards and her glowing hazel eyes were wide as she looked at me closely.
I placed my hands on her shoulders to get her to calm down.
"Esmé, I'm fine. No one was hurt. Humans are the weakest things compared to us. We're the bull's while their the little kittens," I chuckled, and she sighed as she rested her warm, hard, scaly hand against my scaly cheek, a warm smile spreading on her thin lips.
"Send Carlisle to me please when he returns, dear," She said softly before kissing my forehead and giving me a gentle push towards the door.
"In a hurry to get rid of me?" I jokingly asked, and she crossed her arms as she leaned back against the head-bored.
"You need to get back to work. I don't want to get you in trouble," She said with care. Do I have to remind her that the only person who can yell at me is Carlisle and herself?
"You and Carlisle are the only ones who can discipline me. Carlisle will just have to get mad at you for keeping me from work," I taunted as she gaped at me, trying to fight a smile from forming on her face.
"Excuse me, young man. You're the one who came in here!" She snapped back playfully, and I couldn't help but laugh at that. Esme's always fun to joke around with.
"I just wanted to show you that I'm okay. You do worry a lot," I pointed a finger at her, and she pursed her lips, knowing I had her there.
"Get back to work, Edward," She chuckled as she went back to reading her book in her lap, now ignoring me as she kept a nice big smile on her face. I'm always happy as long as Esmé has a smile on her face. She affects individuals on this ship easily. Especially Carlisle and I.
"Edward! I was looking for you! They need you to help with the humans, I'll be there in a second. Is Esmé in our room?" Carlisle's voice got me to turn around, and he was walking towards me while individuals moved out of his way automatically.
"I'll head over to them right away. Yes, Esmé actually asked me to send you to her when I see you," I said with a nod as I rested my hands on my hips.
"Thank you, Edward. I'll be there in a second. Tell the others that, please." Carlisle was already walking towards his and Esme's room before I turned around myself, which I quickly did as I teleported to where the humans are. It would have taken five minutes to walk to the other side of this ship, and that's speed walking.
"Hey! We need help with cuffing these guys before they wake up!" I looked to Ben as he cuffed up a girl with dirty blond hair. She was going to need a major cleaning like the rest of these humans.
"Okay," I said as I walked over, and someone placed a warm body into my arms, and I quickly and easily cuffed the human to the wall before stepping back and looking at the human.
A female.
I cocked my head to the side as I looked her over and my muscles tightened while my tongue threatened to slip out and taste her.
I shook my head and rubbed my face as we finished up with cuffing the humans and stepping back.
"Where's Carlisle?" Emmett asked, and I was about to respond as I opened my mouth, but Alice was beside Carlisle as she walked in with him as well, and she started talking before me.
"Their all going to wake up in a minute!"
