Chapter 2~
Raven in the trees
Thoughts of Rosalie quickly overpowered my mind. Her voice, her laugh, her intense hatred for me… I ended that knowledge quickly with a wince. A tree branch slapped my unexpecting face.
"What the-," I began, cut off by the girl lithely climbing towards me from branch to branch.
The pine that she had been climbing was very old and was most definitely dying. I wouldn't have seen her if it hadn't been as revealing as it was. Her thin arms dropped from the even thinner arms of the tree.
"Um… Hello?" Her voice questioned me very accusingly. She had her eyes narrowed in suspicion. "Who are you?"
"Let's get this straight. I'm not part of the Mafia, firstly, and the question is: Who might you be?" Now she was glaring at me cynically, her eyes boring into my skull. I could tell that she didn't care who I was, or even what intentions I may have- she cared about what I was. Haha… It must look pretty weird when a huge, muscular guy comes tearing through the forest and sabotages your "base camp" or whatever she was in. "Oh, and I'm Emmett," I grinned at her smugly.
"Emmett," she restated. The way that she drew out the consonants in my name made me shudder, "what do you want?" She wasn't in the mood to play games; nor was I. All I wanted was a distraction from Rose, and she would have to suffice.
"What's your name?"
"None of you freaking business."
"C'mon… That's not fair. I told you my name!" I began to grin at her childishly. She definitely didn't get my sense of humor.
She sighed. "Raven. My name is Raven," She muttered through gritted teeth. "Now, I'll ask one more time. What do you wa-," she was cut off by the snapping of twigs and the scent of strong alchohol.
"Hey babe," the largest man, a blonde with shoulder length hair and a bottle of beer in his hand, spoke up first. The others soon shouted vulgar things at her, but only Blondie stepped forward. "What'dya say we go to my house tonight?" He finished with an intoxicated wink at Raven. She grimaced and pushed him away from her.
I stood there, unable to move or speak. This situation reminded me of the reason of my being here, and I drifted off into another trance.
"Emmett! Help!" Raven screamed, arms were on her shoulders, and he was shaking her. I suddenly felt angry. Not just anger towards him, but at Rosalie. But mostly angry at myself. I yelled and ran up to him, throwing him on the ground and kicking him. I heard the agonizing cry that shattered the silence. He grabbed his rib cage. They were probably broken or fractured, but I wasn't done yet.
I picked him off of the ground and threw him against the tree with a THUD! He gasped for air and desperately tried to beg for mercy, but no sound came out. I then proceeded to spin him around so that his back was facing me. I put my knee on his spine and pushed. The cracks were drowned out my the piercing screams.
Raven stood there mystified. I glanced at her- she was staring at the battered corpse in front of her. Uh oh. I thought. Now she knew that I was different, that I wasn't who she thought I was. That I was a monster.
