"It's against the rules; your time is up."

I looked him straight in the blood-red eyes. "No." In a fraction of a second, I was running off.

"After her!" I heard Aro command his army. I didn't think they could catch me, though. After running all my human life, my special ability was superspeed. As if I wasn't fast enough as a vampire already. It did help, though, especially in moments like these. I ran past people, trees, everything but other vampires. I changed directions many times and went no where in general to confuse the Volturi minions.

I thought I lost the vamps, so I slowed down. It started raining, but the sensation of the rain felt so good. People looked at me weirdly so I should've probably went under the cover of a roof or at least have an umbrella, but I didn't care. I was a vampire. A vampire that had escaped the Volturi. I knew they'd be looking for me and it didn't really make sense why they hadn't caught me yet, but I wanted to enjoy some moments without worries. A sign suddenly caught my eye. Apparently this town was called Forks. It only had about 3,000 people. This is a tiny place, I thought. Then I realized that this place being tiny was perfect. The Volturi would never find me here; they would never think to look here.I laughed just for the heck of it. I started walking off, deeper into the town.

I had been walking only about 20 minutes when suddenly the smell hit me. I stopped and covered my nose. It stank so bad. like...shape shifter.

I held my breath and let go of my nose. My curiosity took over. I started running in the direction I had smelled shape shifter. I smelled the area. The smell hit me again and was unbearable, but I really wanted to find what was there.

Finally, there was a house in sight, just few hundred feet away. I took a small breath. Yep, that was definitely the place. I was about to take a step when suddenly I felt someone watching me. My instincts kicked in. I crouched and suddenly a couple of people were in front of me. But not just any people --- vampires.

The weirdest thing was that there, right in front of me and side by side the vampires, was a shape shifter.
