Immortal prey
Chapter 1
Pieces
They were still circling in their deadly dance. I was pushed up against the rock wall by a giant russet wolf. Jacob. He was my bodyguard. He didn't mind but no one said he didn't want to fight. Edward's face was full of fury while Victoria's was covered in amusement. Even though Victoria hadn't even touched him, Edward wasn't winning. Every time Victoria would look over my way, Jacob would bear his teeth and growl. Victoria would launch at Edward, but he read her mind and would get out of the way just in time. It went on for what felt like hours and my mind was running wild. Edward was fighting and it was my fault. His family was fighting and it was my fault. Jacobs's friends were fighting and it was my fault. I started to wonder that if I, the prize, left would Victoria would keep fighting. She would probably come to find me if I left. What if I went somewhere she couldn't go? In the sun. Then the idea hit me. If I left and went somewhere sunny, Victoria would stop fighting and while she was distracted, Edward would stop her. I would stay there and not have him know. I would be safe in his perspective. He was always saying I would be safer if he had died when he was supposed to. I always said he was wrong, but here I was, getting ready to leave him so he would be safe and wouldn't blame himself if something happened to me.
Jacob was still in front of me. I found a stick and started writing in the dirt.
Put me on your back and take me somewhere sunny
Quick, before Edward reads your mind!
I poked him and showed him the note. He looked down at me with surprise but I mouthed 'now!' I jumped out of my spot and onto Jacob's back. Victoria turned to see what had happened and in that second Edward leaped at her. Jacob had already started running towards town, but I saw Victoria quickly move before Edward landed on her. I was right, she would come after us. Luckily, Jacob was faster than her but Edward was faster yet. He ran past Victoria and was beside Jacob and me.
"What are you doing?" he asked concerned.
"Saving my own life so you don't have to anymore." I said and tucked my head back into Jacob's shoulder. I still wasn't too good with the running super fast thing. "Go finish Victoria off." I mumbled nut I knew he heard it.
"I love you." He said so gentle and loving I felt like a puddle. He gently touched my face and then slowed down to catch Victoria. With in five minutes we were in the sun. Bright and glowing, it glistened against the tears on my face and on Jacob's shoulders. As If Jacob could now read minds, we started going towards my house. I leaving my love and my heart was falling to pieces, leaving a trail for him to follow.
