So I'm back... again. I know most of you who read my last story, Solstice, were hoping for a sister story from Daniel's POV Sorry, but this isn't it. This is just the preface to my new story.
Later on I will be making some notes up here to some important changes I have made to make this story work.
PREFACE
The only thing between me and my death was a gangly, sandy colored, teenage werewolf. His eyes were locked on the two vampires and low growls rumbled out from deep in his chest. As menacing as he seemed, I knew he had no chance. This would be the end for both of us.
The corners of Victoria's mouth curled up in a cruel smile as she took a step closer. Seth's growls increased in volume in response. "My, my, what do we have here? A girl and her overgrown mutt all alone in the woods?"
Seth took a step closer to her, putting more space between us. Victoria's eyes flicked to the gap that had grown and her smile grew even more. I pressed my back as hard as I could to the cliff I stood against, my hand's gripping the jagged rock. It cut at my hands but I didn't care. I just needed something to hold onto, to help keep me stable, for the time being.
"Take care of him Riley, before the rest of those mutts show up." Victoria said with a jerk of her head towards Seth, not once taking her eyes off of me. The other vampire, Riley, started slowly towards Seth, seeming a little unsure of the wolf. Seth didn't move, but rather stayed where he was, snarling with his ears flat against his head.
When Riley launched himself at Seth, Victoria didn't even flinch. Nor did she when Seth caught the young vampire in his teeth and threw him across the clearing. I watched as Rileygot right back up and went for Seth again. This time, however, he managed to get around Seth's deadly teeth and knock the wolf into the cliff a bit down from me. I felt the rocks behind me shake a little as Seth hit them and a few small rocks tumbled down ontop of Seth's still form. Riley slowly made his way towards the young wolf.
I turned my eyes back to where Victoria was to find her only a foot away from me, an amused look on her face. Having been caught off guard, I gasped and clenched my eyes shut. My whole body was trembling violently with fear and the cold, and my heart thundered against the inside of my chest. My body knew that my death was here for me.
A cold hand encircled my throat, leaving little room for breathing. I could feel her breath on my face as she spoke. "There's nobody here to save you this time."
I opened my eyes to find her face just an inch away from mine, the smile no longer on her face. It was silent, other than my breathing. The sounds of Seth and Riley's fight were gone. In the back of my mind, I hoped that little Seth Clearwater hadn't met his death at the hands of that other vampire, Riley.
Victoria's hand tightened on my throat, cutting off of air completely. She pulled me away from the rocks, drawing blood from my hands as she did so. I closed my eyes again, not wanting to see her face as she killed me.
As my head started to hurt from lack of oxygen, I felt her reach down with her other hand and pick up one of my own hands. "You smell so good. I'll be careful not to spill a single drop."
Just as I felt myself start to slip out of consciousness a new voice reached my ears, a voice I knew so very well.
"Get your hands off of her." Edward growled. The hand disappeared from my throat I collapsed to the cold, snowy ground. I gasped, air flowing into me. Despite that, my body was still going into overload and I was slowing losing it. I tried to open my eyes, but couldn't do it.
The last thing I felt before slowly slipping into unconsciousness was two strong, cold arms lifting me from the ground.
Please review :)
