Chapter 2- Another Day Here In This Hell Hole
Edwards POV
I stood silently staring at nothing. Alice was right next to me doing the same. I could tell just by the look in her face that she wanted to be here no more than I did. As I looked for the rest of my family, I found Rosalie talking to Emmett and Jasper only a few feet away from where Carlisle and Esme were standing. They all had a grim look on their faces. None of us wanted to be here.
"Alice I can't stand being here anymore. I can't stand being around all this death and depression. I can't stand being the bad guy." I finally said breaking the silence.
But before anyone could say anything else, we heard the noise that we all dreaded. It was the sound that we heard once a week. It was the sound of a train coming up the railroad. I never had anything against trains but this one was different. This one carried hundreds of innocent people that were about to die just because they believed in something different.
The train came to an abrupt halt and we knew it was time to work again. Other soldiers pushed and shoved the passengers off the train.
"Edward, stay here." Carlisle knew how much I hated this part and relieved me.
I watched from a distance with Alice and Esme by my side. As soon as the commotion of getting everyone off was over, James stood in front with Victoria next to him and spoke. He said the usual: splitting up into groups, giving up everything they have, and respecting. Yards away something caught my attention. I saw Laurent beating up a man. The poor man gave up and just slumped to the ground bleeding from everywhere. After Laurent left the man alone, I ran to him only to find Alice, Carlisle, and Jasper by my side. Carlisle being the one with most health care experience tried to stop the bleeding immediately. That's when I heard her scream. I turned to see a girl. There was something about her. She was different somehow. The girl was then pulled by an older woman around the corner. That was probably the last time I would see her.
