Twilight Series-Rising Sun
Chapter 7: "Piercing The Veil" Secrets revealed and feelings confessed
Ereana Jenkins
They were all gathered outside; Kieneson was standing to the right, and everyone else was on the left. OK, so I know that he was some sort of super vampire; but I had to admit-the odds didn't seem to be in his favor. I saw Renesmee sitting on the grass a couple of feet away from everyone else and she motioned for me to join her. Edward went to stand by Jasper. Esme and Bella were with Renesmee which was expected. Renesmee looked at me "So-do you think he'll win?" Renesmee asks; her voice tuneful. I paused in the action of sitting down. Did I really think that he could beat all of them? "I'm not sure" I reply; plonking down next to her. She turned back to look at Jacob "Me neither" she says calmly. Kieneson just raised an eyebrow at us and I blushed and looked away. I should not be reacting like this. Then there was an explosion of fur; the wolves had shifted. I saw one that I guessed to be Jacob and he started to charge forward at Kieneson with the others following. I was about to close my eyes, this was going to get messy.
My eyes actually did close as Jacob lunged at Kieneson; teeth bared, claws outstretched. I heard a bang and I opened my eyes. Jacob was in the wall, actually imbedded in the brickwork. With a grunt he managed to free himself. I turned my head back to the battle and my worries vanished. He was like a whirlwind, arms and legs flying everywhere-but with unparalleled precision and grace. They couldn't get near him. A vampire flew past my shoulder into one of the garden statues. Now I felt more worry for them than Kieneson. It was unnatural the way he moved; there wasn't any flaw or weakness-at least…not any that I could see. Renesmee was laughing-but Bella and Esme looked nervous and concerned. Bits of rubble were shooting everywhere. I had been right-it was messy.
Jake jogged over to us and hugged Nessie. "Wow, I'm glad he's on our side" Jacob laughs. The vampires laughed as well and murmured their agreements. I curled myself into a ball; being surrounded by fighting was not the safest place to be. Jake turned his eyes to me "But…I bet if we shoved you in there he wouldn't raise a hand against you" Jacob suddenly states. I quickly looked away. Despite all my best efforts-I was getting closer to Kieneson. I didn't see the gleam in Jacob's eyes as he looked me up and down. "Jake-don't" Bella commands; her voice carrying a warning note in it as I turned to see Jacob smirking at me. Before a word could escape my lips, he grabbed my arm and threw me into the battle. Chaos surrounded me, and I could hear snarls and crunches. My hands began to shake and sweat as I waited for the inevitable blow that would probably kill me. My feet were glued to the ground, I couldn't move and fear began to choke me. Out of the corner of my eye I saw one of the wolves lunging straight for me. I must be in the path of Kieneson. Time seemed to slow. As the wolf leaped-nearing me ever so closer-all I could see was the canine teeth-long and viciously sharp. This was going to hurt.
Suddenly-a white wall appeared right before me and the wolf hit it; whimpering as it collided with the sparkling shield. I blinked and touched the wall; I had seen it before. It was the shape of Kieneson's wing-except it was made out of diamond. I spun around and saw Kieneson standing there; breathing heavily with what looked like relief and fear on his face. The wing shimmered and turned back into membranous flesh; I guess it worked like his skin. I met his eyes and the world seemed to fall away. The voices, the battle, they all disappeared so it was just me and him suspended in time. Then I felt something warm trickle down my arm. Looking down I saw a small scratch where Jacob had grabbed me, and trail of red along my skin. I guess something did get me. Then I heard a fierce growl. Kieneson was shaking and looking at Jacob with a murderous look on his face. "What the hell were you thinking Jacob?" he asks; his voice going low and deadly. As I watched Kieneson stride toward Jacob-I felt a twinge of fear.
In an instant he vanished, and the sound of destruction followed; echoing thunderously through the garden. I winced and thought, "Poor Esme; her house is going to be ruined" Slowly I turned around and sighed. Yep-it's ruined. Apparently Kieneson had punched Jacob clean through the entire structure of the house; in fact-I could see the front gate. I felt sympathy for Jake. Werewolf or not-that had to hurt. Then I heard a snarl behind me and I spun around to see the same wolf that had jumped at me before growling at Kieneson. Suddenly this didn't seem like a play battle anymore. The wolf lunged and attempted to attack him again. This time I was able to see Kieneson counter back. In a slow motion, he kicked his leg upward and the wolf was sent rocketing sky bound. After 30 seconds passed, the wolf struck the earth like a meteor; leaving a small crater. He wavered but somehow managed to stand up; however-it was only briefly before collapsing back in a heap of twisted flesh and bones. Kieneson tensed and kept his eyes focused on him. "That is enough!" A powerful voice yells; a figure appearing in between Kieneson and Sam. It was Carlisle; his face was calm but stern. "This has gone too far; Jacob what were you thinking throwing Ereana into that fight!?!" he yells angrily. Jacob shrugged sheepishly. I felt an ice cold hand on my shoulder, it was Esme. "Are you all right dear?" Esme asks; everything about her screaming concern. I nodded, my mouth seemed unable to form words. The shock was still setting in. I was about to ask if Jake was OK, when I realized with a start that I was still surrounded by one of Kieneson's bat wings.
"Um…Kieneson" I ask as politely as possible. He suddenly looked at me from the corner of his eye. "You can take your wing away now" I say; looking down at my feet. This was quickly becoming very awkward. For a while nobody moved, but eventually the wings rose and folded back. Oddly-I felt a little more vulnerable without the wing around me so I crossed my arms. This battle had been a mistake and I wanted to go back into the house. Then my eyes met Kieneson's and it was just like before. There was something lingering in his eyes-and it scared me. But I couldn't keep ignoring it. I wanted to ask him something; but not with all the others around. "Can someone help me? I think that Seth is hurt" Edward calls out. I turned to see Seth lying on the ground; he didn't look too badly injured. Then I realized that he was making a distraction so Kieneson and I could get away. I immediately shot a grateful look towards Edward; thanking him for the favor. I moved forward to Kieneson and whispered tentatively, "We need to talk. Ca…Can you take me back up to the clouds?" He merely nodded with a smile, and in a blur-I was in his arms and we were already in the air. This time…It wasn't so frightening.
Neither of us said anything and the mood was very somber. Not even the beauty of the scenery could bring a smile to my face. We started to fly higher and higher till we were back amongst the clouds. Again he carefully sat me down, and again I didn't fall through. GAH we sure made an odd sight. Silence stretched between us. Not the comfortable silence that I was used to-but a tense and awkward one. I busied myself by staring at my knuckles. Now I was having doubts about if I could get through this. "So…the Cullens seem nice" I say; trying to speak in a light tone-and failing miserably. A small smile appeared on his face. "Yeah-they are great. And the only family I've ever really had" Kieneson replies. I frowned at this. "Don't you have a mom or dad back home?" I ask; my curiosity demanding that I find out. His face contorted with pain and he laughed grimly. "You know-even if I can't remember some things from before my transformation that well, some memories are just too traumatic to fully disappear" Kieneson responds. Traumatic?-This wasn't going to be a happy tale and my heart was already crying for him. "Tell me what happened please" I beg. He turned his gaze back to me; but it was blank and dark-like he was somewhere else.
"I was only a child; I can hardly even remember their faces it was so long ago" Kieneson begins. I remained completely silent; I was going to let him get it out in his own time. "We were at home…and a monster came. He attacked my father with a knife, and then shot him with a gun. My mom was screaming and there was so much blood. I hid in the kitchen under the sink. He shot my mother twice and then left; killing both of them. I was drowning, drowning in red. It was horrible" Kieneson continues. His voice was shaking and so were his hands. I was stunned. So that was why. That was what had turned him into the cold, arrogant scientist that I knew, that was what had so cruelly ripped away Kieneson's only chance at a childhood.
I could see it clearly in my mind; the murder, the blood, and the young boy-hiding from a psychopathic killer. Letting instinct guide me I threw my arms around Kieneson; trying to comfort him. "I'm sorry-I'm so sorry" I pant; pressing him closer. "If I had known, If I…-I'm sorry for treating you so horribly back in college!" I sob apologetically; my regret genuine. Slowly, hesitantly, he wrapped his own arms around me and hugged me back. Tears continued to trickle down my face, and I let him go to wipe them away. "(Sniffling) I'm sorry about falling apart like this" I reply. But I couldn't stop crying, and my eyes were getting red and sore. He slowly raised his hand and rubbed my cheek. His skin was cool but not ice cold, and I leant into his touch. It looks like he wasn't the only one needing comfort. My heart constricted painfully. My own past wasn't cuddles and rainbows either. He moved back and studied me; I felt a little nervous. What was happening now? "Do you feel that?" he asks suddenly; looking around hastily. "Feel what?" I reply with confusion; I couldn't feel or see anything. "Sorrow, a huge amount of sadness" he says as he continues to look around. Then his eyes locked on my face. "Ereana…It's coming from you" Kieneson says with realization. I was shocked; only Jasper could sense emotions-at least…only he was supposed to be able to. "Why are you sad Ereana?" Kieneson asks softly.
I leant back against the cloud. "Guess I was thinking about my own past. It wasn't exactly a barrel of laughs either" I sigh. He continued to stare at me which-was very intimidating. "Will you tell me about it?" he asks quietly. His voice was calm and in control; completely opposite to me. I sighed and cast my mind back to the past. "Maybe it wasn't as bad as yours, or maybe it was worse-you decide. I was 14 and it was summer. My mom and I had taken a vacation together. I lived with my dad so I didn't get to see her often. We were staying at a small hotel for two weeks. It was on the first day, and one of the boys there helped take our luggage to the room. He was sweet and cute. We instantly hit it off and pretty soon we were going out. After the holiday we continued to see each other and we visited each other. It was pretty great. I' am-well…was a very trusting girl. I trusted him completely, and then it happened".
"I was on a trip to his home town to surprise him. I was 15 by then and he was 17. Anyway I was walking down the road when I saw him and some of his friends…They were beating up a couple of tourists; laughing and jeering at them. It was so horrible! The woman was on the floor and she wasn't moving. The man was curled up in a ball crying. I had my phone on him and I took pictures and then called 911. He heard my phone and then started to run after me. I bolted-but I wasn't fast enough. He beat me up till I was black and blue and told me that if I turned him in-he would kill me. I awoke in the hospital with my phone. He hadn't taken it. I wasn't going to turn him in I was so scared, I was just a kid. But when I saw on the news that the couple they had attacked had died-both of them. My anger burned; I couldn't let him get away with it. So I sent in the evidence to the police. They were all promptly arrested".
"Then while I was at Harvard, something happened during my final year. I got a phone call from the police. My mum had been beaten severely and was paralyzed from the waist down; my ex had done that just a week after being released. Now-she's going to live the rest of her life in a wheelchair. Do you have any idea about how guilty I felt-how I still feel? When it was clear that he was going to be captured, he turned a gun on himself and committed suicide. Because I trusted him I introduced him to my mom and he knew almost everything about me. He knew that hurting my mother would kill me. We were so close, and because of my stupid mistake she is never going to walk again. Every time I look at her I feel that guilt" I sob as I finish my story. My voice trailed off into silence and I looked down; new hot tears running down my face.
Again his arms encircled me and I leant into him. This time I was the one seeking comfort. "The guilt never left me and it hurt. It hurt so much" I weep. "I'm sorry Ereana, and I promise that if we ever get back-I will repair the damage that was done to your mother" Kieneson says softly. Could he do it? Could I actually let myself hope? We had tried hundreds of specialists and they had all said she would never walk again. He was giving me hope-but did I have the strength to withstand it being crushed? I wasn't sure. He let me go and I watched him with red and puffy eyes. "Ereana Jenkins, I have warped space and even traveled to another universe; fixing nerve damage is easy with my patented stem cell injections. Your mother will walk again-I swear" Kieneson says solemnly. Hope began to burn inside of me. Adam may have been arrogant, but he was without a doubt the greatest scientist and that had apparently been kept during the transformation. But do I really trust him enough to believe his claims? Only time would tell if he would hold true to his words.
Kieneson Cullen
I watched her as conflicting emotions raged across her face. I hated seeing her like this. She was usually strong with a temper like a volcano. Now-she seemed vulnerable and shaken, and I desperately wanted to protect her. I needed to get her back to the comfort of the Cullen home. I slowly picked her up and dropped off the cloud; spreading my enormous wings and falling into flight. Neither of us said anything as I glided back to earth, and she looked completely drained. I tried to concentrate on flying, but my mind was focused on the woman I was holding-and how right she felt in my arms. She seemed to fit in them perfectly. I shook my head. She needed comfort and a friend and that was it. I had to take her back to the Cullens and the wolves. For some reason I hated the idea of any of the males there being near her. This was completely illogical; she was a friend who had only recently stopped hating my guts-that was it. The roof came into view and I landed on it as best as I could with someone in my arms; only faltering because of the emotional maelstrom raging in my head. Unsure of what to do next-I just stood there. Should I let her down…or should I wait for her to ask? Her arms wrapped around my neck and I froze in shock. What was she doing now? I'd had very little contact with girls and had no idea what to do in this situation. And any experience I had was blurred in my memory. I looked down at her and she was staring at me with some strange emotion in her eyes but I was too distracted to sense what it was. Then-ever so slowly, she lifted her head and pressed her lips to mine.
Ereana Jenkins
As we were flying back, my mind began to wonder about the man holding me. We both had changed a lot since we had met at the press conference and my mind was still in a jumble. Now-I liked him…a lot. That much was clear. He had sat their patiently and calmly while I had spilled out my past and sobbed. He hadn't run away or laughed; actually-he had hardly spoken at all, he just…held me and listened. Right now I felt so safe and calm. I hadn't felt like that in what seemed to have been forever. Ever since I came into the Twilight Universe, he had been looking after me no matter how rude or snappy I was. Did he like me? Why did I want to know? We were complete opposites; I was hot tempered, snappy, and passionate. He was calm, logical, and a tad arrogant. Still-there was definite chemistry between us, especially now that he had dropped that cold arrogant shield. I needed to know how he felt about me. After a slightly shaky landing, he just stood there holding me in the wind. He didn't do anything-so I took a chance. My hands traveled up his chest and around his neck. He stilled and I almost lost my nerve. I wanted him to know how much he meant to me. For some reason he had become a huge part of my life. I closed my eyes and kissed him.
I raised one of my hands and cupped his cheek. Now this was a feeling I could get used to. It got even better when he started to kiss me back. The man definitely knew how to kiss. Abruptly he stopped and pulled away and I suppressed the groan of disappointment. His expression was so funny that a laugh bubbled up inside of me. His eyes were wide and his mouth was hanging open; cute. "W-Why did you do that?" he stammers out. Oddly enough-his cheeks burned bright red like a human; I guess he added that feature somehow. I sighed and looked away. "Look, I'm sorry if I offended you or anything but…I needed to know how you felt about me" I answer uneasily; my voice was quiet. "And kissing me was the only way you could find out-Why not just ask me?" he replies. He sounded exasperated and my anger sparked a little. "A lot has happened to me and my emotions are a little unstable, my mind is a little jumbled; if it was so repulsive you could have pulled away!" I yell. He did. A little annoying voice whispered evilly in my mind but I ignored it. Now he looked a little angry. "I did not find it repulsive! You just…shocked me" he answers. I seized on this. "So you did like kissing me?" I ask eagerly; a smile curving my lips.
Suddenly he looked away; slightly flustered. "I…I should get you back inside; you need to rest" he says; trying to avoid answering the question. But I was so not going to let him just skimp on telling me what I wanted to know. "Kieneson Cullen, either answer my question or I will never speak to you again-and remember I' am a very stubborn person" I demand. We both knew how hardheaded I could be, and he paled a little; almost as though he dreaded my threat. "Well?" I say; getting impatient for his answer. He wouldn't even look at me; but anyone could see he was embarrassed. "I found it to be a…uh…pleasant and um…interesting experience" Kieneson replies hesitantly. I couldn't help myself; I burst out laughing. Now he was staring at me curiously; like he didn't understand what was so funny. After a moment of hysterical laughter I calmed down. "So where do we go from here?" I ask; my tone serious again. Suddenly-I heard a high light laugh and we both turned around to see Bella Swan standing on the roof with us laughing. I gulped "Did you uh…happen to see that by any chance?" I ask; praying she hadn't. She nodded; still trying to control her laughter. Kieneson just watched and I knew he wasn't going to be any help.
"Uh…Listen Bella, I really don't want the others to know yet; we're not sure yet ourselves. So can you promise not to say anything?" I beg. I guess we were lucky it was Bella since Edward can't read her mind unless she lets him. She looked at me a little strangely but nodded "Sure-I understand; it's your choice. I swear I won't say anything. But I should warn you-I think Alice already knows. She keeps on looking at you two and rubbing her hands together and she's starting to gather wedding magazines" Bella replies. Again Kieneson did nothing but I was freaking out. Alice, Wedding? She kept on winking at me whenever I was near him. Surely she couldn't have seen this in the future…could she? I wasn't even sure of my feelings and that's what her visions depended on-unless he was sure of his feelings in which case…Ugh! My brain hurt and I pressed my hand to my forehead. Now Kieneson looked at me with concern. "Are you OK?" he asks kindly. I shook my head, "Nothing-just a Headache"
A few minutes later we were inside when my stomach began to rumble. I laughed sheepishly and rubbed the back of my head. "So…do you have any more things that a human can eat?" I ask; Bella smiled. "I remember being like that just a few months ago-I'll go check the fridge" she says happily. I followed her into the kitchen eagerly. Just my luck the fridge was empty and I was so hungry. Bella shook her head. "I blame Jake for this; that boy is never full" Bella says with irritation. She turned to me "Sorry Ereana" Bella replies apologetically. I moaned and hugged my stomach. "Surely there must be something I can eat" I say hopefully. She looked down and rubbed her chin. "I think that the grocery store may be still open. I'll go out and buy something" Bella says happily. "Can I come?" I plead. She looked at me quickly. "I haven't been anywhere normal for ages; I need a little break from all of…this" I say; waving my arms around for dramatic effect. She simply smiled and said, "Sure, I understand" I smiled back and made a list in my mind of food I wanted to eat.
Suddenly Adam burst into the kitchen as though he had heard our conversation. "I can give you all a lift instead of having to use that dreadfully slow car" he offers. "You would do that? Wouldn't we slow you down?" Bella questions with skepticism. "Nonsense!-I have the strength of more than a dozen vampires; 2 passengers will be nothing-4 just might be noticeable" Kieneson counters. "Actually I need to do some shopping as well; how fast can you get us to Seattle?" Alice asks; suddenly popping into the kitchen. "Faster than you can imitate the falling whistle from the old cartoons-that's how fast Alice" Kieneson replies. "Dear-in order to do that you'd have to drastically outpace the speed of sound; no vampire can do that" Esme argues; suddenly entering the kitchen. "True-" Kieneson begins; immediately unveiling his wings as best he can in the crowded space of the kitchen. "-No "Vampire" can. Remember I transcend mere vampires; I'm a Super Vampire remember?" Kieneson says; a smug look emerging on his face. I quickly began frowning to express my disapproval of his boasting. Almost instantaneously he wiped that grin away and folded his wings away. "Of course it's only a suggestion; you can use a car" Kieneson says meekly. Alice then smiled at me with that mysterious smile again.
"Ada-I mean Kieneson…(Exasperated sigh) can we call you a shorter name? Kieneson is kinda long" Alice replies. "Hmmm…how's Kienny sound?" Kieneson says insightfully. "PERFECT! Anyways-can you get us to Seattle in less than 5 minutes by flying?" Alice asks kindly. "Sure, I might even have to go under top speed; a few minutes ago I was testing my speed limits-I didn't get a chance to go above Mach 5 before I heard this conversation about food down here when I made a brief brake in the air" Kieneson replies. "My word…alright, you'll have to be extra careful if Ereana wants to tag along; remember-she's only human son" Esme says; expressing a need for caution. "I know mother-I know" Kieneson replies; looking at me with admiration. Then before I could blink-we were all outside.
Alice Cullen
Ereana threw up her hands and shook her head and I chuckled. It was going to be so much fun planning their wedding! She was already treating him like a husband. But there was definitely a blush on her cheeks. Now however was the time to push it to the back of my mind; I was going to fly-WITHOUT A PLANE! Already I was hopping up and down with excitement. "Uhh…isn't there a slight problem?' Bella asks; and we turned to look at her. She shook her head at us. "Last time I counted there were four of us wanting to go-and Kieneson only has 2 arms" Bella replies. Darn-hadn't thought about that. Ereana stopped fiddling with her jacket and looked up. "You could take us one by one I guess" she suggests. I was shaking my head. "Nah-that'll take too long. There has to be another way" I counter. I scanned into the future and saw how we would get there. I saw Kieneson carrying Ereana in his large arms, and we were all hanging to his legs like parasites. Laughter bubbled up inside of me. It was completely and utterly ridiculous; but it looked really fun. I smiled and Esme and Bella backed up a bit. I spun around to face Kienny. "I know how we can all go" I say; chuckling again at the image in my brain. "How?" he asks; a little cautious of the look on my face. "You carry Ereana in your arms again…and we hang onto your legs" I explain cheerfully. I was pleased to see they both looked away in embarrassment. Oh-I could just see her in that white dress!
"Well alright; it would make the journey fast-and I have wondered how easy it would be to take passengers" Kienny replies; his mood cheering up drastically. "Alright-well then lets go!" I yell with excitement. Immediately-Kienny picked up Ereana as easily as a backpack and placed him in the protective embrace of his arms; it reminded me of the way Edward carried Bella before she became a vampire. Then he extended his huge black bat wings and rose into the air a few feet. "Alright-grab on folks; the flight to Seattle will be departing in 5 seconds" Kienny announces happily. We all immediately took hold of his very stocky legs and got a firm grip. "HANG ON!" Kienny yells. Then in a burst of speed I'd never felt before-we took off.
The rush was unfounded; I'd never traveled at such velocities in all my immortal life. Not even planes could reach this speed. And almost as soon as it began-we had landed. "Here we are; Seattle, Washington USA" Kienny announces. "Thank you for flying Kieneson Airlines; we hope you will travel with us again" Kienny laughs. Amazing! It had only been what seemed an instant; and already we had appeared in Seattle-NEARLY 100 MILES AWAY!!!! I did some quickly calculations and found that to traverse the 100 miles or so in 30 seconds would mean that Kienny had been flying at- I stopped there; awestruck at the speed he had traveled-with 4 passengers. "You…you were flying at…at-" "-At least 5 times the speed of sound-that's right sis; I can fly at supersonic speeds with passengers" Kienny finishes for me. That alone nearly blew me away. "Wow…I wonder what his top speed is" Bella asks; her mouth still hanging open in shock. "I'm not so sure I want to find out" Ereana interjects suddenly.
When Kienny sat Ereana down-I nearly cachinnated. (Replace with fancier word from list in book bag) "LOOK AT MY HAIR!!!!" Ereana screams; holding her wind-whipped brown locks in her clawed grasp for display. "(Stifled laugh) I have to admit-that's kinda cute" Kieneson replies. "STOP IT! My hair is a wreck and I don't have a comb or anything to fix it!" Ereana whines. "No comb? Well I can fix that" Kienny says cheerfully. With a few blazing fast swipes he smoothed Ereana's hair back to normal with his bare hands, and even placed it back into a bun. "There-all better?" Kienny asks eagerly. Ereana hesitated for a moment and looked into a nearby rain puddle to evaluate Kienny's combing job. "Yeah; all better" she smiles; her face beaming with joy. I could barely contain myself; planning their wedding was definitely going to be a blast!
Ereana Jenkins
Now that we were right on the outskirts of Seattle-it was time to go shopping. "Alright-its 5 PM-" Esme begins; checking her watch. "-And it will probably be safest to travel at night so let's stay here till about…sunset" Esme finishes. "Which is about 2 hours from now" Alice chimes in. It would be nice-to escape from all the headaches and qualms of my life which had recently become so fervently torrid and turbulent. "Alright-I'm headed for the window shops" Alice says as she sprints off excitedly. "That leaves us to do groceries then" Bella states. "Let's go then!" I yell; my stomach yearning for food. We quickly located a supermarket and began to head in. "Uh…Kienny?" I start; turning to face my gargantuan friend. "Yes?" he replies; awaiting my request. "Maybe you should make your skin non-sparkling; you know-so as not to draw attention to yourself?" I suggest. A few seconds later-his skin rippled and I knew it wasn't sparkly anymore. "Good-now we can enter inconspicuously" I breathe with relief. "(Sarcastic tone) Yeah-like a 7 foot giant isn't going to go noticed in a supermarket; he's taller than the shelves Ereana!" Bella interjects as we grab a cart and start walking down the aisles.
"(Sigh) That's true; but giant humans aren't uncommon-he won't be questioned excessively" I counter as we stroll into the frozen food section. "I think some rib-eye steaks will be good for our food consuming guests" Esme says as she takes several dozen frozen hunks of the succulent meat. "And I know Jacob simply loves tenderloins" Bella says; grabbing several dozen of those and placing them in the cart as well. After gathering several more kinds of meat-the cart became filled to the brim with flesh. "Looks like we'll need another cart" I say absent mindedly. Then I heard a faint whoosh and saw a cart was now behind me. "I got one" Kienny says cheerfully. "KIENESON-WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?!" I scream in shock. "Helping with groceries; I like to eat too" Kienny replies calmly. "What about keeping the existence of Vampires secret wise guy!?!" I snap; attempting to remind him of the Volturi. "Huh? I thought I'd be the one to take the courage and reveal our species existence to this world" Kienny says; confusion contorting his face. "Don't you know about the Volturi?" I ask; hoping he knew. "The Vole-what-e?" Kienny responds; utterly unknowing of whom I spoke of. I began to suspect the horrible truth-and I started to shake with fear. "(Gulp) Oh lord…you mean you haven't read the Twilight Series by Stephanie Meyer?" I ask; my whole body visibly shaking. "No-what's it about?" Kienny asks; now eyeing me with worry.
At that moment my knees buckled and I feel to the tile floor with despair. "Then…we're all going to die; I bet they've already seen all the stuff that's happened through spies or something" I whisper with anguish and sorrow; tears beginning to fall on my face. Suddenly-I heard a loud stomp that sounded like thunder. I looked up slightly and saw that Kieneson had smashed his nanotech boot into the tile and shattered it; leaving a large footprint. "NOT IF I CAN HELP IT! Whatever these Volturi are-I'll hunt them down and smack some sense into them for making you so scared Ereana!" Kienny yells as he pats my hair. Then with an unimaginable burst of speed he vanished. "What the…is he serious?" Esme asks shakily. "I think so-judging from the severity of his footprint" Bella says as she looks into the foot deep impression. "But he can't possibly fight them all alone-he'll be slaughtered!" I wail; fearing the worst.
"Guys-we have to start heading for Italy-NOW!" Alice screams; rushing up to us at full speed. "There is no way we can get there fast enough; he can go supersonic-he'd already be dead by the time we got there to help him" Bella says solemnly. "That's just it-I don't think the Volturi stand a chance…I think they're the ones that need help" Alice states suddenly. At that moment-my head went for an upside down loop. "Wait-you're telling me Kienny is so strong…that he really can take down an army of Vampires?" I ask; still incredulous as to what Alice was implying. "I saw it; he is hell-bent on showing the Volturi Hell-he plans to kill them all for being murderers!" Alice yells. "What did you see?" I ask; dying to know what she saw. "Recently-Adam made a little display screen that links to my brain-allowing me to project my thoughts; though entirely different to Renesmee's method-it does the job. Are you sure you want to see them Ereana?" Alice asks cautiously as she points to a slightly shinier patch of skin on her neck. "Yes…I have to" I say; desperate to see what Kienny planned to do.
After several seconds-the skin began to light up like a screen and I saw smoke and flames. (People screaming and explosions raging) Then I saw a battered Aro and Caius lying at Kieneson's feet. "(Weak cough) Wha…what are you?" Aro wheezes with effort. "I' am Kieneson Cullen; I took a sample of Edward Cullen's DNA-modified it, and injected the modified venom I collected from the altered cells to become this-(Wings pop out) A SUPER VAMPIRE!!!!" Kienny screams with rage. Then he picks up Aro and Caius by their throats and says in a low and deadly tone, "And I will not let you foul evil murderers walk this earth anymore; all human sucking vampires shall be eliminated-beginning with you two!" Then he throws them with such extreme force that the three buildings they're tossed through crumble to rubble. "(ROAR) DIE!!!!" Kieneson bellows; taking flight and holding his arm out. Then a large barrel appeared on his wrist and a small cone with a pointed tip appeared in it. A missile! He must have added more nanobots to his nanotech clothes from the nanobot M.E.E.S Suit. Then with a quite whoosh-the missile fired into the rubble where Aro and Caius lay-erupting into a massive fireball of pure thermal energy. "(Agonized shrieking)" Aro and Caius wail as they are incinerated by the horrendously hot inferno. At that moment-Alice ended the view. "I'm sorry if you wanted to go on…but I can't take it anymore" Alice cries. Immediately-I realized that there was a way we could get to Kienny in time. "Call Edward-we need him to bring over some of Adam's technology" I say; firmly believing it could be of use. (Phone flips open, buttons dialing).
