Cody POV
My girlfriend, Jenna, and I were out hunting for a sacrifice when I noticed some girls walking by. One smelled quite nice, but the other's scent I couldn't quite place.
"Piper, how much longer till we get there?" the delicious smelling one said. Her straight red hair fell to her waist, and her delicate face was painted with freckles. The other one turned to look back, to stare at our hiding place suspiciously, green eyes narrowed. Her sharp features stood out from the others soft face, and her dark wavy hair brushed against her stomach. She turned back, reassuring the other that it wouldn't be long until they were there. I snickered softly and her head turned to me again. Little did they know that they wouldn't ever get to their unknown destination. Jenna crouched down silently, and sprung onto the back of the red head.
"Ruby!" the other one cried, snarling at Erica. Her form began to shake and it was then that I realized what she was.
"Jenna! We must go now!" She sprinted after me, carrying the red head on her back. Branches snapped behind us, cueing us to run faster. We sprinted through the thick forest, weaving in-between trees. The heavy footsteps behind us began to fade, until finally we couldn't hear them at all. We finally arrived at a huge gate flanked by 2 vampires, each holding a long spear. The nodded at us and uncrossed the spears, giving us access to into the large stronghold. Vampires and humans alike stared and parted to form a pathway leading to the doors of the manor. The doors however, opened before we could reach them, to reveal the king of vampires…Edward. Everyone bowed down as soon as they saw him, including us although the thrashing girl made it a tad more difficult.
"I see that you have come to pay your debt, Cody," he nodded at us. He strode back into the open doors, turning back to beckon to us. We followed him into the manor, shutting to doors behind us. The girl hit and scratched at Jenna's back to no avail, her hits sliding off of her marble skin in vain. Edward's nostrils flared as he took in the girl's scent, eyes widening. Happiness danced in my stomach as I realized my day just got better. The girl we had captured was Edward's la tua cantante, his blood singer. I smiled knowingly at Edward, and he allowed himself the pleasure of a small grin. Then his eyes narrowed as he sniffed at her more carefully.
"What smells like wet dog?" he growled.
Ruby POV
I thrashed around as the strange person threw me over their shoulder and sprinted. I shivered; their skin was hard and cold. They sprinted into the dense woods at an extremely inhuman speed. Who and what were they? We ended up at a strange place I had never seen with pale people bowing down to a copper-haired man.
"She may have been traveling with a werewolf," The boy replied quietly. Edward's expression quickly changed into an inhuman like scowl.
"I will have none of this! You girl, who were you traveling with? Was it a werewolf?" He barked, and I swear I saw fangs under his cherry red lips. It took me a moment to realize what he had asked.
"W-werewolf? Are you crazy? I blurted out without thinking. Edward slapped me across my boobs.
What the fuck?
Pain ran along my chest.
"This is not a game," He hissed.
"I was with my sister! P-piper Renwood! She's not a werewolf I don't think… I don't understand!" I began to weep.
"Renwood!" The girl yelped.
"Renwood." Edward repeated, "What's you name?" He directed it at me.
"Ruby Renwood…" I shivered.
"You don't know what's special about you heritage do you?" He asked calmly.
"No?"
"You come from the fiercest, most ruthless, line of werewolves. But you my dear lucked out. You're normal, like myself. We thought we had... gotten rid of all of the Renwoods but I guess not," He looked thoughtful.
"Got rid of them?" I whispered.
"Yeah, got rid of them," he repeated.
