I couldn't believe that I, 15-year-old Bree Tanner was actually going to fight. In a very scary looking fight to be exact. I knew there were going to be vampires to fight against, but who would have thought that we were also fighting against these weird huge wolf-like creatures. I didn't know what they were, but what I did know was that I was not getting close to any of them. I was walking into the clearing when reality hit me. I wasn't going to survive. I was only fifteen and me fighting skills weren't exactly the best. That was when I started running away into the forest.
I ran as hard as I could, nothing was going to stop me. I heard the terrible ripping sound that could only be made by tearing vampire skin. I felt a mixture of feelings. Anger at Riley for making us fight and killing Diego, my best friend, my only friend. Sadness for the death of Diego, knowing that he wasn't going to be there to protect me. Happiness for Fred knowing that he was free from this horrible fight. And most of all fear, because I knew that I was going to be caught eventually.
I slowly turned around to check if anyone was following me. Unfortunately, there was a yellow-eyed, blonde male chasing after me. He looked like he was 26 years old when he got changed. Fear coursed through me veins. He was going to kill me, he was going to kill me! I kept on running right into a dead end! Oh no, what was I going to do. I couldn't escape this wall of trees. The male looked like he was about to pounce on me. I didn't know what to do so I yelled, "Wait!"
He stopped and looked at me with weary eyes.
"I don't even want to do this. Riley tricked me. He told me that Diego was going to be here when he really is dead. Please, please, please spare me life. I surrender. I swear." I said all in one breath.
He looked at me and said in a calm voice, "I don't want to do this either. I'm just doing this to protect my family. So you surrender. Very well. Follow me back to the clearing. By the way, my name is Carlisle."
"I'm Bree, Bree Tanner." I whispered. Then, for the first time in ages, I smiled.
Suddenly, Carlisle stopped. He looked like he was thinking about something. I wasn't sure what to do, so I just waited. I bit my lip and looked down at my feet. From the corner of my eye, I was watching him just in case he started walking again. Abruptly he turned around to look at me. "The Volturi will surely kill you when they come. We have to hid you. When we say so, run into the forest but stay within hearing distance. When I call you, come back. Understood?"
I quickly nodded. "Yes, but what is a Volturi?"
"They are kind of like the government of the vampire world." He said, and with that he started walking again.
