The Captive
I sat on the unstable roof of the dilapidated barn quietly, lost in thought. I remembered faintly my parents and my two siblings Charles and Samantha, but I also wondered if they missed me. I knew what I was now- a vampire- a "soulless monster" as I was told. Maria had changed me to be a part of her newborn army. I didn't have much of a choice- I was too scared of Maria to stop her.
We were in the small town of Forks, Washington. Apparently her former love interest, Jasper Whitlock lived in the area. She had assigned me to look for him. I wasn't quite ready to leave yet, though.
When I heard her footsteps approaching I jumped from the barn and dashed into the trees.
"That's more like it…" I heard her chuckle behind me.
I raced through the trees, easily dodging and weaving around rocks and tree toots. Then I heard it. It was the sound of high bell like laughter and deep growling. I jumped into a tall tree and watch the scene below me unfold.
There were two vampires below me. One was a very short female with short, spiky black hair and golden eyes. She made ballerinas look like clumsy drunks. She flitted around- literally dancing a split second form the male's grasp. The male was tall- taller than me, unlike the female- and had curly strawberry blonde hair. He too had golden eyes. He was muscular but not a body builder. I looked closer at him and saw hundreds of battle scars on his arms and neck. I froze in fear of him and my instincts told me to run, but I didn't. The two of them were practically waltzing. Every time the male reached out to her, the female would dodge him a slit second before he caught her. It confused me greatly. But the male fit the description of Jasper Whitlock perfectly- except for his eyes being gold instead of red.
"Would you…c'mon, Alice…no…got ya!" Jasper grunted as her wrapped his arms around the female known as Alice.
Alice laughed and planted a kiss on his cheek. "I let you catch me!" she giggled.
"I know, but I'll take it over nothing." He said, his southern accent clearly visible.
Then, Alice froze, her eyes lost in space for a moment. She blinked then a worried look filled her face. Jasper immediately began looking around for and signs of danger.
"What do you see, darlin'?" Jasper asked, leaning protectively over her.
Alice said nothing. She turned in my direction and looked up at me. Jasper followed her gaze and was soon glaring hostilely at me.
I jumped out of the tree and bolted back to the barn, Jasper and Alice right on my heels. Alice charted my every move perfectly a split second before I did it. It confused me even more. I was only a few miles from the barn where I trust Maria was laying in waiting for me to return with these two.
"It's a trap!" Alice hissed.
Then Jasper tackled me. We both fell to the ground hard; the unnecessary air in my lungs left me with an oof! He pulled me up to my feet roughly and led me deeper into the forest. His iron grip on my arm made my escape uneventful- and I was a newborn.
"It'd be best if we take her to Carlisle instead of kill ehr here." Alice informed.
"Where are you taking me? Let me go!" I snarled. Who was this Carlisle and what would he do to me?
"Stop asking questions or I'll end you!" Jasper snapped viciously.
Out of the Corner of my eye I saw Alice roll her eyes and shake her head as we ran. I couldn't help but fear where they were taking me and whehter they would end me or not.
And with that we approached a large white house.
