The Unexpected Visitors: What Story Doesn't Have Villians?
A voice called out in the dark. It was dark inside the abandon building on the outskirts of town. The darkness seemed to grow as the voice grew stronger and called out to someone.
"H-Hello? B-Boss?" The figure roamed around in the building looking for someone, anyone for that matter.
"What is it?" Another voice answered back, sounding quiet annoyed that someone was calling him again. The dark wandering figure glanced around the room to see now that there was a group of people, creatures even that surrounded him, waiting for the good news they hoped to hear. The man turned to face the one he called Boss.
"I-I...I" The figure stuttered. It appeared the other man grew impatient.
"What is it?" He asked narrowing his eyes. "Did you get what I asked for?"
"Ummm...N-No...No, sir." The figure mumbled and looked down, too ashamed to face his leader. A gasp could be heard around the room as people looked shocked and afraid of what might come next. The man smirked, though.
"What was that?" The figure shifted, uncomfortable. He knew his master heard him and that he was just toying with him.
"I-I...didn't get it, sir."
"Didn't get it?" The figure could feel the eyes of his master burn into him. "Didn't get it? How hard is it for you to fullfill such a simple task?" His voice had grew louder. A dog in the room whimpered at the sound of his master's discomfort. "I sent you there! I did the majority of the work for you!! And this is how you repay me?! Coming back here, showing your face to me whimpering?!" The figure kneeled down as his master rose and yelled at him. "You fool!"
"I-I'm s-s-sorry." he whispered.
"Sorry?! Sorry, isn't going to get me what I want! How are we suppose to explore the new world if I don't have what I need! 'Sorry' he says. What a joke!" He began to pace around his servant, ready to end the creature's poor miserable life. "Continue to feel sorry for yourself when you enter Hell." He raised one hand, ready to strike.
"W-Wait!!" The figure rose from his place, turning to face his master. "T-There's hope!! I went there, l-like you said and when I came back people followed me!"This seemed to capture his master's interest. He stopped what he was doing and put his hand back down.
"You say people followed you?" The man asked cautiously.
"Y-Yes!" The figure nodded his head, as if he didn't believe himself.
"Where are they?" the man asked.
"Wh-Where are they?" he mouthed the words slowly, as if he couldn't believe what he just heard.
"Yes. You heard me. Where are they? Surely you have them with you. You wouldn't be so foolish to let them walk away alive, revealing our secrets, would you?" As the man spoke he glanced around the room, looking for something that stood out from the pack of people that didn't stick out before. "Or...maybe you did." The man mumbled it out loud, mostly to himself, rather than to the others.
"W-Wait! Pl-Please. I...I have a pretty good idea of where they are." Again, this comment stopped the man in his tracks. There was a pause as everyone waited to hear what the figure had to say.
"Go on." The man said, raising one eyebrow in disbelief.
"W-Well," The man shifted again," They-They ran into the forest, when I awoke, I saw them running away, towards th-that one house. In the middle of the forest." The figure looked down, uneasily. "I-I heard thunder when they ran off, but the night was clear. I-I think they ran into someone like us, someone that is the same as us." The figure raised his head up to see his master's reaction. The man's face was sullen and composed. Then a small smile appeared on his face.
"Hehe, no doubt that must be Carlisle's house they ran to." The crowd surrounding the two looked at each other confused. A short woman spoke up among the crowd.
"Master, doesn't that mean that they are already dead?" She asked and looked up into her master's cold, dark eyes.
"No," he watched as the crowd turned from being confused to shock and stared back at their master with more questions on their mind. How could someone deny such easy prey?
"Carlisle is what you would call a 'vegetarian'." He let out a short laugh at the term. "No doubt, if these people you speak of are still alive, Carlisle no doubt saved them and sent them on their way." The crowd's expressions lit up, there hope was restored.
"Th-Then we'll go and get them, won't we master?" A man spoke up amongst the crowd.
"I'll send some of you to go and collect them. Aiden." He turned to face the figure who spoke of the people. "You better not fail me again." His eyes scorched down at the servant who began to quiver in fear.
"O-Of course." he mumbled.
"Good. Now explain to the group what these people looked like. I'd hate to find out we accidentally killed the wrong people." He smiled as the group's expressions looked eager. He laughed again. Mostly to himself. "Maybe not." He mumbled.
MEANWHILE...
As soon as the sun rose, the group of girls pretty much woke up. The amount of sleep the girls actually got ranged from little to none. Breakfast was eaten in silence as it was just them. Since, Charlie left early, the atmosphere was a little more relaxed, than yesterday. After breakfast, Bella called Edward and told him to come and pick them up. The car ride to the house was quiet. With the two in the back still half asleep, conversation was mostly limited to Edward and Bella who spoke of stuff that really didn't concern Lisa or Alex. The two stared out the window, already exhausted even though the new day didn't even start yet. Everything looked very different in the light, compared to how creepy it looked when they were driving back to Bella's house last night. Edward veered the car off the road into the beaten path. That seemed to catch Lisa's attention.
"You know, you live pretty far away from town. Any reason why?" Lisa asked, purely curious.
"We just like our privucy." Edward simply said and he turned his attention back to the road. Alex nudged her friend and whispered.
"Hey, that's kinda rude to ask?" She glanced at Edward to see if he was listening. He appeared not to be (But we all know better)
"What's so rude about that? I was just curious. I wish I had a house like they do." Lisa whispered back. The car came to a stop as they looked up to see the familiar house they saw last night. Before they even had a chance to walk up to the house, the door opened and Alice walked out to greet them.
"Hello!" She shouted happily as she waved at them.
"Hey, Alice." Bella said as she greeted her with a hug. Everyone turned to walk into the house.
"So, how was the sleepover last night? I wish I could've been there." Alice said turning to face the two.
"Tiring." Alex stated simply
"Confusing." was all that Lisa said.
"All of the above." .; Bella said.
"Wow, sounds boring." Alice said as they walked in. At that moment, Emmett walked down the stairs with Rosalie.
"Hey! It's the weird girls." Emmett said while grinning.
"Who's the weird one?" Lisa asked, feeling offended.
"You are." he said, "You're the one walking around in shorts when it's 40 degrees outside." Lisa glanced down at her outfit, and for the first time since she's been here, she felt cold.
"Oh...well, I have a jacket."
"Besides, you are the two who live in nowhere land."
"Eh?" was all they could say in unison.
"What he means," Jasper moved from his place on the couch, not coming any closer to them. "is we looked up the place you named yesterday, and we couldn't find any matches." Ha was surprised to see them not as shocked as he expected.
"We got the same thing, last night." Bella spoke up.
"Can I see your computer?" Alex said, looking slightly tired.
"Why?"
"I'm gonna look something up." Alice led her to the computer and Alex immediately went to Google Earth. The others watched over her shoulder, eagerly as she followed all the steps she did last night. The results were no different.
"Darn it!" Alex yelled at the computer. "What's wrong with this thing? I've did this before, it should work!"
"I told you, it's no use." Jasper said from the corner of the room, "We already tried that." Everyone sat still for a moment, not sure what to do next. They had no place to stay at, they couldn't stay at Bella's house forever, but they had no place to go home to. Suddenly, Alice's face went blank. Everyone turned to look at her and Jasper moved from the corner to be by her side.
"Alice." he whispered to her.
"H-Hey. Is she ok?" Lisa asked confused at why her face looked so weird.
"She'll be find." Was Edward's reply.
"Some-Someone's coming." She said, her eyes still blank.
"What do you mean, 'Someone's coming?'"
"I mean, someone- no a group of them- is coming this way." She said, her eyes looking less distant now.
"What do they want?" Alice didn't reply to her boyfriend, she just turned and looked at Alex and Lisa.
""What'cha looking at us for?" Alex said shocked, "We didn't do anything."
"No, but it's about what going to happen to you." They both looked at each other at that comment, not sure what to make of it. Carlisle and Esme walked down the stairs at that moment and immediately knew what to make of the crowd.
"What's wrong?" Carlisle drew his attention towards Alice.
"Someone's coming. Someone by the name of Marlow." Alice looked up at Carlisle who knew something about the name Marlow. "He's coming for them." She gestured towards the two girls. Carlisle looked at them and back at Alice, his expression was composed.
"How long?" was all he asked.
"They'll be here in a few moments. They'll come through the back yard." Carlisle turned towards the back yard and exited through the door. The family slowly followed him. Jasper and Emmet, right behind him. Through the trees they could make out some figures coming forward.
The ending reminds me of how Victoria, James, and Laurent entered in the book. It has that feeling. Anyway, you should review this and tell me what you think. Do it! Or the Ramen noodles I'm eating right now will find you...
