Chapter 4: Rush

For the past three days, I've been stuck in the same room with Bella and Edward. I don't mind being with Bella, because I get to be close to her. Literally. I hate being in the same room as Edward, so three days is killing me! "Ugh, I'm gonna get some fresh air." I groaned as I released Bella. I noticed she was the one gripping onto me this time. "Aw come on Bella, I need some fresh air." I whined. She loosened her grip and when I was almost outside, I heard Edward go over to Bella. I don't care though, I need to get away from him for at least three minutes.

When I was outside, I noticed an odd scent in the air. It smells pretty bad, and it made my eyes water a little. Then across from me, I saw an odd, moving red flame getting closer and closer. I squinted my eyes to see. When it was in full view, my eyebrows pulled together in a glare. "Get back bloodsucker!" I hissed. She just got closer though, ignoring my threat. "I don't think so," she said softly, "You have something in that cabin that I need to take care of." I planted myself in front of the door so she wouldn't get inside. "Don't make this difficult, werewolf." she said, irritated. It's only one of her, I can kill her in a split second. I heard someone approach us from behind, so I turned my head slightly to see who it was. "Another one?!" I yelled out loud by accident. "And there's more where that came from." the red-haired vampire said. She snapped her fingers, and then four more vampires appeared from the forest.

I heard the door open behind me. "What's going on?" Edward asked, but then he came next to me when he saw how many vampires there are. "What do you want, Victoria?" Edward asked coldly, as if he didn't know. "Don't play dumb." she replied, in an even colder tone. "He's not playing…" I mumbled to myself. "Hand me the girl, and we'll leave and never come back." she said in a softer voice. "Never!" Edward yelled. When I heard Bella approaching the door, I ran over to her and grabbed her so I was carrying her. "Run!" I screamed at Edward. Then I was running too. "Ah, Jake! Put me down!" Bella demanded.

"Um, we kinda have a problem, Bells. You know that one red-head bloodsucker?"

"Victoria?" she asked, confused.

"Yeah, well, she kinda has friends." I said in a panicky tone. Bella's eyes widened.

"And you left Edward there?!!" she screamed, horrified. I rolled my eyes.

"He's probably right behind us." And right when I said that, he came next to me on the side where Bella's head is.

"I'm right here Bella, don't be scared." he said in a soothing voice. Then he kissed Bella. The kiss was lasting too long, so I cleared my throat loudly to get them to stop.

As we were running, I looked back every few seconds to see if the vampires were catching up. I could see Victoria, and two other vampires with her behind us, so I tried to quicken my pace. Sam, bad news, that one vampire we were trying to get has some other vampires, and now they're chasing us! I yelled in my head. Yeah, we have the same problem here. There's eight vampires, but three actually made it through the border to Forks. Sam answered. Then where am I supposed to take Bella? The cabin up north was where they found us! I replied, still panicky. Sam told me to take Bella back to Florida to her mom, but I can't risk that. They'll probably follow us, and then Bella's mom would get in danger too.

"Edward, do you have any idea where I can take Bella so they won't get her?" I asked.

"Well I don't know about you, but I'll take her to the Volturi so they can put an end the vampires." he answered casually, yet in a formal way.

"What the heck are the Volturi?"

"They're like the head vampires that live in Italy. They make sure all vampires are kept secret, so if we can get the vampire crew to get out in the sunlight in a large crowd, the Volturi will destroy them." Edward answered.

I snorted. "Take Bella all the way to Italy so those vampires will die? We can do that here."

"I don't want to interrupt your little discussion, but they're catching up!" Bella screamed. I looked behind us and noticed they were getting really close. I made a sharp left turn in the forest and continued running.

"Where are you going?" Edward hissed, "You don't even know?!" Stupid mind-reading bloodsucker. Edward snatched Bella from my arms, and he ran past me so I was left behind them. "Hey!" I yelled. I transformed into my wolf form so I could catch up. Now my speed increased tenfold. Then I thought of an idea.

"Edward, wait! I have an idea!" I thought, so he could understand me.

"What now?" he asked, annoyed.

"I remember there's another werewolf pack down south. My family and theirs have been friends for centuries, and they have way more werewolves. They can help!" I tried to convince him.

"What's he saying?" Bella asked, trying to look back at me. I ran faster so I was next to her. "What is it, boy?" she asked me as if I were really a dog.

"He said, 'Don't patronize me!'" Edward translated.

"Oh, sorry." Bella said.

"Anyways, Jacob thinks we should go down south to another werewolf pack. He says they can help." Edward answered dully.

"Ok." Bella said immediately.

"What?" Edward asked, shocked. "Don't you think the Volturi can help too?"

"Well yeah, but I kinda don't want to go back there… Besides, I'm used to being around werewolves now." Bella said with a smile. Then she looked over at me and winked. I barked out of joy, and I ran in front of them, leading the way.
