Ruby POV

Edward had me put in shackles bound to the wall in his room. He had a whip and was pacing in front of me.

"Why did you tell Jenna and the other one to get rid of my sister?" I asked my voice trembling. I flinched as he lashed out his whip slapping me across the boobs.

"Don't speak unless I say you can!" He snarled, "But if you must know I simply can't have her running around- Renwoods are a problem for me, and now she'll be looking for you and I can't let her find you," I stayed silent, tears rolling down my cheeks. He smiled.

"I'm going to unshackle you but you can't try to run, promise?" He asked. I nodded. But the second I was free I darted towards the door. He was faster. Much faster, and ended up on top of me with a mighty bear tackle.

"I was going to have a nice dinner with you but now you need to be punished," He grinned like this was planned. I quivered terrified of what he was going to do next. Before I saw it coming, his fangs flashed past my eyes and he violently bit my neck. Just when I was sure he had drained all of the blood from my body he stopped and left me lying there limp nearly unconscious.

"Your blood is the taste of desire," Edward cackled.

Piper POV

Eric had brought me into his garage showing off his shiny, black, 1969 Camaro and his weaponry. Although his car was impressive, so was the technology of the weapons he had for hunting vampires and my kind.

"Know how to shoot a gun?" He scoffed handing me a 44 magnum.

"Y-yeah, where did you get all of this?" I asked startled at its weight.

"Doesn't matter," He shrugged grabbing a little snub nosed 38 revolver. He threw crossbow in the car along with a few other assets we may need.

"Come on, let's go," He ushered me into the car. I gave him the directions to where we had been.

"So does your family know what you do?" I asked trying to break the awkward tension between us. He glared at me in reply, "I have a question."

"What?"

"Why are you so cold, if I didn't know any better I'd think you were vamp," I mused.

"I'm not too friendly to things like you because…" He trailed off sourly.

"Things?" I growled, "I'm just like you but I can turn into a huge bad-ass wolf," I sniffed.

"Sure. I have just had bad experiences with wolves, alright?" He snapped obviously wanting to end the conversation.

"If it makes you feel any better I'm only half wolf," I muttered.

"Thats possible? Does that make you faze different or anything?" He asked with sudden interest.

"Not really, we've just been known to be more of lone wolves, and to be honest me and Ruby had planned to get away from here and travel the world," I confessed.

"Won't your pack be pissed?" He asked with a hint of concern.

"Yes, but we plan on covering our tracks fairly well,"

"What about your family?" He questioned.

"Our parents are," I hesitated, "They're dead, and the remaining pack members resent us anyway. Besides Annie I'll feel a little bad about leaving her," I confirmed.

"Why do they resent you?" He pressed further.

"Why do you care?" I shot back feeling a pang of regret, "Sorry I didn't mean…"

"No its fine. I don't care," He said with the icy essence in his tone again.

"Stop we're here," I said moving away from the topic of conversation. He had a strange device that appeared to be something like a heat sensor, following the trail where the two vamps had appeared to take my beloved sister.

"What is that thing in your hand?" I asked.

"It tracks down trails were the vamps have been and I have my sights on Jenna and Cody so we will find them quickly," He said being straight forward as usual then added, "Hold onto my arm, and hold on tight," He offered his arm to me. I cautiously grabbed it and the second my fingertips touched his arm I felt a strange sensation buzz through my body, I wonder if he feels it to.

"Ok why-" My words got caught in the wind at we began moving at lightning speed. The forest past my eyes all in a blur, and the only thing I could see clearly was Eric. Before I knew it we were outside a large wall surrounding a strange manner.

"How were you doing that?" I asked feeling dizzy. He showed me a bottle of liquid.

"It gives you the speed of vamps but only for a short period of time," He explained.

"Oh, and where are we?"

"This is where vamps come to offer Edward their sacrifices and where he keeps his humans,"

"What's he do with the humans?" Eric gave me a sideways glance.

"I've never gotten far enough to see… But it can't be good," He sighed.

"Never gotten far enough in? Then how are we suppose to find Ruby?" I asked my hope washing away.

"Well now I have a partner so it should be a little easier," I nodded, scanning the area. I saw vampires guarding the entrance. One of them lifted their head and sniffed the air, looking around suspiciously.

"Can't they smell us?" I hissed. He rolled his eyes and held up a small spray bottle. He quickly sprayed some on me. I stuffed my face in my arm to stifle my coughs, and scrunched my nose at the disgusting smell. He sprayed some on himself and turned to me.

"You ready?" I nod and follow him into the dense forest to hear his plan.
