Okay, well Caroline is not actually updating this. Hey!, I'm Nicole. And well…. yeah Caroline is kinda lazy so I am now updating for her. The great thing is she actually has most of the story written so all I have to do is type. Though I will ask her to rewrite some of it if you don't like where a certain part is going, though some things are set in stone, and will not change at all.

I hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or New Moon (even though I think I just want Edward)

Chapter Two: New Blood

Another small group is touring the forest. Not as vicious as the other, though both are vital to the story. They walk down the path, carefully avoiding the tangled roots and plants below their feet. Their backpacks have been marked with phone numbers and on their water bottles as well. Nicole, Kaitlyn, and Kate walked in silence, and only rarely stopped for a rest. "I was sure that little circular meadow was around here somewhere…" muttered Nicole, getting ever frustrated with their somehow unworking compass. Suddenly stumbling into the light, the trio were temporarily blinded and tripped as one, all falling flat on their faces. A chorus of "ow!"s, and various protests ensued, but after the temporary shock they pulled themselves up and admired their surroundings.

"A small, well-lit clearing that stretched on for a bit on all sides." Nicole read it out of the pamphlets she had gotten from her travel agent. "I guess we made it!"


Meanwhile, the cars departed the house, while the coven watched, satisfied smiles on all of their faces. Their blood-red eyes glinted in the slowly fading sunlight, and history was set in motion.
Kate was the first to notice the still, unnerving silence. "Why is nothing making ant noise? It's kinda creeping me out…" The air was thick in the late summer/ early autumn heat, and nothing made a sound. The girls felt the backs of their necks prickle and then they heard a low, sweet, but still surprisingly seductive voice, "Why, hello there." Blackout…

(you have no clue how tempting it was to leave it there but I am a nice person)


A bit before…(3 days, in a meadow…)

Edward tensed as he heard the group approach. "Crashing through the brush like a herd of elephants, they're a good target for any hungry animal…" he chuckled quietly, "I better get to them first…" He moved quietly, like a tiger on the prowl, and observed the girls. Another chuckle escaped his mouth as they tripped over each other. As they quietly conversed, he snuck up behind them and whispered, "Why, hello there." He felt their bodies tighten and he dealt them all a swift blow in the head, just hard enough to send them into unconsciousness. He carefully surveyed the three, picking one to turn first. He picked the palest, thinking her skin would be a beautiful shade of white…

(poor me!)

He picked them all up at one time, deposited them in the back seat, and set off for home…

Upon arriving back at home, Edward picked up the girls once more, and walked inside. He was greeted at the door by his family, who silently took his burden. He kept the pale one, and said, "Take them to the cellar before the regain consciousness. I'll deal with them later."

Well I think the story is coming along. It definitely has a plot of sorts going. The more you review the more tempted I am to update sooner (even though I will update eventually anyway). But reviews are ego-boosting. They inspire Caroline to write more, cuz if she doesn't write I can't type.
