Chapter 6: let down
CPOV
We walked towards the alley slowly, not wanting to scare any passing humans. Edward's face gleamed with hope as we approached the spot in Alice's vision. Alice and I were both cautious, preparing ourselves for what we may or may not see down this dark alley.
A human outline could be seen from the distance, the figure was slumped drunkenly on the floor. I held Edward back as he got nearer the person. Alice was the first to greet them, she crouched on the floor and slowly pulled down the persons grey worn hood, she was careful to keep her distance so that the person would not feel any colder than they already were. "Hello" she whispered "My name is Alice I have come to help you." The person was a girl and she looked up. "Go away, I know what you are you horrible creature leave me alone please don't hurt me." The girl shrieked. "I'm not going to hurt you, I want to help." Alice said as she tried not to frighten the girl. "Stay here I've brought some friends with me that can help you, I just need to talk to them." Alice got up and walked towards us. "I'm sorry Edward, it's not Bella." Edward started to shake frantically. "No, you're wrong we saw the ring, that's my Bella" He shouted. "She has a ring similar to yours but it's silver and rusted round the edges." Edward collapsed onto the floor.
"Her thoughts" he whispered "She knows what we are, she has seen the volturi. She was a tourist to Volterra, she escaped while Aro feasted on her family." I pulled my wreck of a son up from the floor "Edward come with me" I said as I dragged him to the car. "Alice see if you can find anything out about the girl." I stuttered, my son was somewhat heavier than he looked. Edward was hard to drag as he wouldn't move he just stood still, his head faced down to the pavement.

I turned away from my grieving brother as I walked towards the girl. She had moved and was now sat shivering frantically by the sidewalk. Once again I crouched down. "I don't want to frighten you, but can you tell me what you think I am." "A vampire" the girl cried. "What's your name?" I asked "Sabina" the girl answered "Well, Sabina I'm not your typical sort of vampire, I won't eat you." The girl looked up at me. "Really" she stuttered. "Really" I replied "Think of me as a vegetarian, as I drink only animal's blood." The girl smiled. "So you won't eat me" she asked. "No, I won't eat you." I smiled. "Thank you for talking to me, I don't have any friends, it's been nice to talk to someone for once." The girl whispered. I was confused this girl was obviously very lonely, yet she acted like someone was watching her… controlling her.
"Do you mind if I go now?" the girl questioned "No, of course you can go" I said "I'm not going to keep you as a pet." The girl smiled again "Thank you" she said before she disappeared into the darkness. I stared into the night for a few minutes before I headed towards the car. Poor Edwards hope had been shattered again, he had been so happy, thinking that he would be reunited with his beloved Bella who was nowhere to be found.

I pulled the hood of my cloak over my head, though I wasn't cold, I didn't want anyone to notice me, especially the girl I had just seen. I kept to the shadows, distancing myself from the bright street lamps. I did not want to attract attention to my strange clothing; people would most likely suspect me of witch craft. Though I was just human unlike the girl I had tricked in the alley, Alice I think her name was, no matter if it wasn't, I didn't need a first name to know my visitors were the Cullen's, they had given me plenty of clues. "I'm a vegetarian" she said. Their were few vegetarians in the vampire world. The vegetarians were the ones that tried to deny what they really were. The vegetarians were the vampires that fascinated Aro the most. He and his brothers were all fond of human blood, it would be too hard for them to try and give it up. They didn't have the strength, they didn't have the willpower.
I knew the three people in the car park were most likely Cullen's and not Denali's as they were talking about Bella- I had eavesdropped on their conversation.- With my eyes I could clearly see that the man who had collapsed was Edward, he would have been distraught that the wife he thought he had within his reach was me. Hopefully he would not know how to go on and give up his search for his 'beloved Bella.' I pulled out the mobile that Aro had given me and dialled the number.
"Hello" the receptionist answered "Gianna its Sabina can I speak to Jane or Alec please." I was breathing heavily. "I'll put you straight through to Jane." She answered cheerfully. "Hello" Jane answered coldly "What do you want I'm busy." I could here Alec's muffled voice in the background. "Should I cut them should I cut them?" He mumbled "Sure" she answered "Then they won't feel a thing" she laughed coldly. "So, I haven't got all day, what's up?" she snapped at me. "Well you know the plan." "Yes, I know the plan" she answered dryly. "Tell Aro it was the Cullen's and they fell for his plan hook line and sinker." I laughed evilly. "Are you sure it was them?" she asked eagerly. "Yes, a girl with short black spiky hair told me they were vegetarians." I answered equally as eager for the next step of the plan to commence. "Excellent, was their anything else they said that gave them away." "Well, I eavesdropped on their conversation and the small girl said "Edward I'm sorry it's not Bella," and the tall lanky vampire with the bronze coloured hair collapsed onto the floor." "Is that all?" Jane asked "Oh no one more thing, there was a third vampire with light blond hair, he was carrying a brief case as he tried to pull the lanky vampire up." "Fantastic, Edward, Carlisle and Alice came to you and fell for you're sad pathetic lies, so we can put the rest of the plan into action. You've worked well." I smiled at that, a vampire thought that I'd done a good job? Perhaps I wasn't as pathetic as I thought. "Just on last thing?" I stuttered nervously. "Yes" Jane asked, she sounded bored. "Have you got the rings of the girl?" "Yes and they fit perfectly, I have sent Demetri to meet you at Seattle airport so please make your way their." Then the phone went dead. I placed it in my cloak pocket and headed down a narrow street. Our plan had worked and the Cullen's were losing faith, the question was how many more blows could the Cullen's take? I laughed happily to myself thinking about what a wonderful job I'd done.
