AN: I'm so sorry about how late this chapter is coming out but my computer broke down and refused to work, became really slow and wouldn't load anything….so you get the idea. But now I have a shiny new laptop all of my own (insert evil laugh here) so hopefully I will be able to update on a much more regular basis.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Twilight. The fame would get to me. It's much more fun to just play and toy with the lives of already created characters.
crazyperson17 is my awesome beta reader without her my stories wouldn't be as good and then none of you would read them. I would recommend reading some of her stories, they're great.
Also my best friend has now joined fanfiction her name is don'tblameme33 her stories will be on the Gallagher Girls series (teenage girl spies), please read her stories when they're finally uploaded.
Chapter 7.
Oh… My… God!
I set off running. Yet as soon as a group of people had been pushed out of the way others appeared. It seemed like fate was against me and that fate wanted Edward dead. I glanced up at the big clock that was my destination, I had two minutes. I didn't' think I could make it. As the thought occurred to me, my shins hit the huge marble rim of a huge fountain that covered a massive part of the square. Obviously it would be quicker to run through it. I jumped into the fountain ignoring the looks the people in red cloaks gave me and fell over in the water multiple times but I continued to run. Cold spray hit me as I splashed the water in my haste. It burned and stung my face and arms as I ran but I ignored it, saving Alice's brother was more important.
At last I reached the other side of the fountain and jumped to the ground. People were easier to move when the cold water was still clinging to my hair and clothes. As I saw the small dark alley way the bell signaling noon started to ring. I was going to be too late, but then I saw a small child tug on her mother's sleeve and point towards the alley. She had obviously seen Edward. I drew level with the little girl and her family. I paused to look, to see if I was too late. But what I saw. Oh…my…god! A Greek god stood there. This had to be Edward. He was the only one around who could actually pass for a vampire. He stood with his face looking straight ahead; eyes closed wearing nothing but trousers and shoes. I started to run. I might just get there in time.
The bell was only on the third toll. Hopefully he hadn't stepped out into the sun yet and just as he stepped forward I collided with him, I could tell it was him because it felt like running into a brick wall. I pushed with all my strength and nothing happened. "Edward! You have to move!" I screamed, but my voice was hoarse from running. I knew he had to have heard me what with his vampire hearing. Still he wouldn't move. "Edward, the Volturi will kill you! They'll kill us all!" at this his eyes opened. I gasped and tried to step back, his eyes were pitch black. His arms grabbed me around the waist and spun us into the dark alley behind him pressing his back against me as I was crushed between his body and the wall. He turned and faced into the darkness.
"Good afternoon gentlemen. But I don't believe I'll be in need of your services today," he spoke coolly and politely but there was an undertone of hostility that even my ears could pick up. Two figures shrouded on hooded black cloaks appeared out of the darkness. "I don't think so Felix." Edward said to one of the vampires, obviously answering their thoughts. Edward then crouched in front of me snarling, the other two mirrored his movements. They were leaning forward to attack when a wind chime voice interrupted.
"Now then boys there are ladies present." Alice came and stood next to Edward. They straightened up. Then a figure came around the corner of the alley. Edward stiffened but Felix and Dimitri relaxed a little bit.
"Aro sent me to see what was taking you so long," a cool female voice spoke, "Follow me." She turned and walked back the way she had come. Edward and Alice then towed me in the direction the girl had gone, the two Volturi guards following behind. I could see Edward's face change ever so slightly; Alice was obviously filling him in on everything he had missed. Oh joy! He'll now know about the werewolves.
We came to a dead end. But there was no sign of the girl. Then I noticed a grate cover that had been removed from the grate. "We have to go down there?" I asked apprehensively. Alice nodded. "Oh well I always wanted to die by falling down a drain (!)" I said sarcastically, Alice glared at me and then looked pointedly at me then quickly at Edward who had a forced look on his face. I winced as I realized how he might have taken that. Alice jumped in first, then Edward gently lowered me into the blackness and let go. I free fell for a bit then was caught by Alice's strong, marble like arms.
Sorry it's so short but I'm having to pick my choices for GCSE and have had a mountain load of homework to do.
Read and review! Please?
