Chapter 3
BPOV
I looked around hesitantly at the other newborns, they were so fierce and frightening, but I was one of them and that scared me. I couldn't be one of them...could I? I killed a human's innocent life and it still haunted me, I was still in denial that I had killed someone so fragile and deserved to die old with the one he loved. And she died at the hands of Riley, who didn't seem to care about anything or anyone.
I snapped out of my daze when we arrived at massive a river and I could see a forest started at the other side of it. The sky had gotten dark rapidly and the stars to come out and sparkle. I walked to the front of the group and stood beside, who was Riley contemplating something.
"What do we do now?" I asked, the river was pretty wide
He chuckled as if something amused him "Well, our legs aren't fast enough to travel over it, so we'll have to travel through it, meaning walking on the bottom of the river." He said simply with a shrug then he turned around towards the newborns. "Follow me" was all he said and we did. Victoria had gone ahead somewhere else but no one seemed to notice though.
We all stood at the edge of the water, some were itching to start the battle to get across the river and kill something, anything, Riley being one of them. He started towards the water first and we glided behind him. About a quarter of the way we were fully submerged in cold running water and I was afraid that I would run out of breath, but I realized I had been holding it and I didn't need to breathe. We all walked slowly through the water, it was dirty and I could barely see Riley who was only an inch in front of me. The dirt stirred up every time I put my foot down and small rocks sifted into my shoes.
Finally I began to see the gravel start to go up and out of the water, and we resubmerged out of the water, clothes soaked and the need for blood stronger than before. (A/N just think of Eclipse for those who have seen it, that really awesome bit where they come out of the water all evil and scary). We all caught a strong scent of human and something really disgusting, it smelt like wet dog. I growled, and Riley turned to me.
"There are werewolves here, they have their own territory and have made a treaty with the Cullens." He said and smirked "but that treaty's about to be broken"
Everyone else let out low evil chuckles as Riley started forward again towards the forest where the scent got stronger and stronger. We took off at inhuman speed making our trip through the woods quicker and easier. The scent got stronger and stronger; the human one was fading but the dogs scent got louder and louder, when we got closer to our destination.
We slowed to a walk when we were close enough to see seven figures standing side by side all in black, getting ready to attack. I was confident that they weren't going to survive, 30 vampires against 7 others, it was pretty clear who was going to win. We crossed the tree line and stepped into the clearing and stopped a good 15 metres from the Cullens. The desire to kill was taking over everyone including me and Riley.
I felt a swift bit of wind go past me and suddenly Victoria was standing next to Riley, she was between me and him.
"It's always a pleasure to see you again, Carlisle" Victoria's voice that was soft last time was now as cold as ice.
"As to you, Victoria" Carlisle replied, I took in his appearance. His clothes were like the others, black which made his skin look extra pale and he had pale blonde that was combed back neatly. As I took in his appearance I didn't realized his eyes were on me, looking me curiously, I stared back unfazed by his quizzical expression. It didn't last long because when I saw his eyes I gasped and saw that they were the warmest hazel I had ever seen. It surprised me because his eyes weren't red compared to mine and the other newborns. I looked away, towards Riley who was glaring at the Cullens.
However, Victoria continued to speak, "if you all give up now, we won't hurt you...much" she smirked, laughing heartlessly. Shivers went down my spine; I couldn't imagine what she could do. "I mean you can chicken out now, 30 against 7 is quite a big difference, and you won't be able to stand a chance. So. Just. Give. Up." She ended bitterly.
Carlisle's face remained impassive as he started to speak "it doesn't have to end like this, Victoria, we can just negotiate" his voice wasn't desperate, it was gentle and calm.
But Victoria just laughed and turned to announce to the whole group "You hear that, he's trying to negotiate after what his family did to my mate" she laughed more and everyone else started to but it wasn't warm, it was cold and humourless. She turned back abruptly and silencing the laughing newborns. "I don't negotiate Carlisle, I kill" she hissed
"Your mate brought his fate upon himself" one of the Cullens spoke up "he put a human girl at danger, she could've been killed, Victoria" he snarled.
Her expression turned deadly "as she deserved to be, she was a threat" she snarled
She put up her hand to stop their protests "we'll settle this with war, Cullens, then you'll see whose better" she crouched into attacking position and we mirrored her movements.
Carlisle sighed "I was hoping it wouldn't come to this"
Suddenly growls erupted from behind our enemy and it wasn't from the Cullens or Victoria
No.
But I suddenly realized where the horrible smell of dog was coming from and they were heading this way.
Oooooooooooooooooo cliffy!
