"Get up" the voice was cold as ice, and hard as diamond. A hand was clamped firmly over my mouth. "Do not try to move. You do, and I snap. your. neck."

I had never heard that steely tone any voice other than Max's. And this wasn't Max. I got up, still groggy. My hands were instantly pinned behind my back. "Walk not try to run. IF you do, i will kill you without hesitation. Got that? i will kill oyu before you coudl ever turn to see my face."

"That would be why we would be waking them up, Alice. They aren't human."

"So just wait for Carlisle. We really should. They are unhuman, and i would like for Edward to be here when we do wake them up. Okay?"
