Recap: Alec is thrown in jail after running from the train where the old man fell. While in his cell a police officer makes Alec angry, and the officer looses his sight and faints, just like the old man on the train.
Don't forget to REVIEW after you've read, or I don't really see the point in continuing this story. Thanks.
Like I said before, I unfortunately don't own Stephanie Meyer's characters. :(
I looked down at the police officer. He wasn't moving. I wanted to walk over to him and see if I could reach him through the bars but I was frozen
in place. I was terribly scared. I wanted to have a reasonable explanation for why this kept happening. There had to be some cause for people
loosing their vision around me. It couldn't be my fault. I hadn't done anything to those people. But I couldn't think of any good reason why else
they had gone blind. Maybe I was just going crazy. After I had seen the hallucination of Jane things had gone wrong. Maybe I should check myself
in to a mental hospital. Maybe I- "HEY! BILL!" My thoughts were interrupted by yelling. I heard someone's loud footsteps coming down the hall. A
heavyset police officer with a balding head ran up to the fallen officer in front of my cell. He bent down and shook the man. No
response.
--"Bill!" He yelled at the unconscious cop. Still no response. He turned his head toward me. I was still frozen in place. "What did you do to him?" He shouted at me.
--"Ughgggmm" I tried to respond but the words were stuck in my throat.
--"What did you do?" he shouted again, only more fiercely than before.
I began shaking, but I still couldn't find my voice. He lunged at me and I flinched. Thankfully, he couldn't reach me behind the bars.
"You fix him. What ever you did to him." he yelled at me.
I jerked my head back and forth trying to signal that no, I hadn't done this, but he took it the wrong way.
--"What do you mean no? You little…" he was shaking his head in fury and I was never so thankful for being locked up before in my life.
The cop reached for his belt and started rummaging through keys. Shit. What was I going to do now? He seemed to have found the key he was
looking for and an evil smile lit up his face. He put the key in the lock and before he could turn it, he began to scream. Not again. No! Why was this
happening? Why did people have to keep going blind? He fell to the floor and was writhing in pain. Only this time he looked up at me. His eyes
locked with mine. He wasn't blind.
~o~o~o~
--"Stop! Please." The officer was screaming at me, eyes still staring into mine.
I wasn't sure how to stop and if I could have, believe me, I would have. I shook my head, trying to clear it, trying to make it stop, but the man
kept screaming. Maybe if I closed my eyes it would stop. Maybe all this would stop and I would wake up from this nightmare. I shut my eyes as
tightly as I could and two seconds later, the screaming stopped. Relief washed through me. I slowly opened up my eyes to look at the man, afraid
then when I looked at him the screaming would start again. Standing over him was a small, black cloaked figure.
--"Wh-wh-who are you?" I stuttered out immediately. The figure reached over without looking and turned the key swiftly, unlocking the door with a soft click. "St-st-stay away from me. I mean it." My threat sounded weak, even to myself.
The cloaked figure slowly glided toward me, seemingly floating and entirely silent. I let out a girly squeak in fear. The figure giggled. It was a high-
pitched bell sound and it didn't seem to fit the menacing figure.
--"I thought you were tougher than that, Alec." The figure spoke in the same high-pitched bell tone as the laugh.
For some reason, although I had never heard the voice before, it seemed familiar to me.
--"How do you know my name?" I asked quietly.
--"I would hope I know your name." she said.
--"What do you mean by-" but before I could finish my question she answered it.
She lifted her head and her hood fell away from her face. I gasped. It was Jane again. The weird, ghostly white replica of Jane. Only this time, her
eyes were blood red. I felt relieved that I wasn't imagining things. I really had seen her. But I was terrified at the same time, because I was face
to face with a ghost.
--"Come on." She said, motioning me forward with her hand. "It wont be long before they come looking for you."
Next chapter may find Alec in the home of a certain blonde and topaz eyed vampire. I know this a short chapter, but the next chapter is longer. Although if no one reviews, I don't really see the point in even posting the next chapter. So please, whether you love it or hate it, REVIEW IT!
