Vampire vs. Death
EPOV
I stared at the white ceiling as I lay on my bed. She hates me; there is no doubt about that. But why? I never did anything to her. The picture of her face drowned back into my head. Her head resting on the table looked so beautiful and breakable. I tapped her lightly on the shoulder and she yelled at me. A crude 'what'.
I couldn't stand to make the small talk that I planed on. I just smiled and handed her the envelope. Something went though me, like a ripping sensation. It wasn't a good feeling, it was something I had never experienced in my many years, or even remember feeling.
Then she just stormed off with the man that had escorted her. He was well built and I must admit from how Rosalie and Alice talked about him he was attractive. And most important he was human, I didn't stand a chance. And now here I lay in my room of solitude.
I was still in my suit not feeling like removing it. I let out a small sigh and there was a quiet knock on the door, but I made no move to gesture who ever it was in. I lay silent just letting the misery take me over. I closed my eyes and was lost form the world.
* * *
When I opened my eyes everything was silent. It was unnaturally silent, not even the sound of cars for the distant freeway rumbled in my ears. I got off the bed and throw back the currents on the wall of windows. I smiled; outside the ground was coated with a layer of white. I loved the snow, it was better then rain but at the same time it wasn't sunny out.
I looked at my watch and saw that it was nearly eight o'clock. I walked over to my large closet and pulled off my wrinkled suit. I pulled on a cashmere blue sweater and dark blue jeans. I tossed my hair around with my hand and walked back into the large room. I sat on the black leather chair pushed up against the wall and concentrated on what was going on throughout the house.
"She was beautiful, I think she would be perfect for Edward" Esme's voice rang through my ears.
"Yes, she was but I don't think she was very happy about being auctioned off." Carlisle said.
"But she must have known. I mean I told Ian to make sure all the teachers were aware of that."
"If I do remember myself I believe that Ian bid on young Isabella himself."
"Oh!"
I moved on, not wanting to hear anymore about Bella.
"Emmett?" Rosalie called form their bedroom.
"Yes love?" Emmett was such a sucker when it came to his wife.
"Could you bring me my white sweater in the closet?"
"Rose you have like fifteen white sweaters. You need to be more specific."
"Okay get the white sweater that I wore on our second honeymoon, it's my favorite."
"For good reason I'm sure."
"Of course," Rosalie laughed.
I decided to leave Rose and Emmett to their…..actions.
"Alice, why won't you talk to me?"
"Huh?"
"You weren't listening, were you?" Jasper said to my favorite pixie sister.
"Um……… no. I'm sorry Jasper; I'm just not feeling well."
"What's wrong?" He voice was stained with worry for his lover
"Oh, you know it's just my head. Someone's future is changing rapidly but I can't tell who."
"I'm sure it's nothing."
"Yeah, nothing," Alice's voice faded away with her words and the house became silent again.
The air was thick and heavy with something that didn't have to do with the weather. Something was building up outside and it wasn't good. I walked out of my room and down the hallway. I walked down the large staircase and headed striate for the piano.
I started playing a slow dismal song. My hands flowed up and down the keys. For some reason I felt as though the day was going to get worse. As my song came to a close there was a ear piercing scream that vibrated though every room in the house. My fingers froze on their keys and I got up form the piano.
I bolted up stairs in a chance to see who was screaming. The scream came to a stop and I ran into the room where all the commotion was coming from.
Esme's face was hid into Carlisle shirt and his arms where tight around her waist. As I stepped into that was what I saw. I pushed my way though my family to find Alice lying on the floor convulsing. I hurried to her side to help Jasper stop form squirming.
Carlisle had managed to pry his wife off of him and he stepped over Alice so he could be at the top of her head.
"Alice, honey can you hear my voice?" Carlisle tried to sooth her by pushing back her hair and saying shhhhhhh.
It was no use she just buckled back and forth. Jasper was trying to calm her as he put his lips up to her ears and whispered sweet words. It wasn't working at first but then she calmed and closed her eyes. She put her hand on Jaspers cheek, "Sweet." Was all she said.
"Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take." She said in a sing song voice. "Sweet, sweet blood, let it pour." We all looked at Alice as she laid there on the floor.
She lay still on the bed for a long time saying no more. We said nothing to each other saying silent, just hovering over her. Carlisle had no explanation for us, but he thought that it was connected to her visions.
I couldn't stand being in the room anymore so I retreated to Carlisle's office. I sat on his desk looking out the wall made up of windows just like in my room. I almost jumped as the phone in my pocket started to vibrate. I pulled it out of my pants and flipped it open.
"Hello?"
"Edward?" It was the worried voice of Eleazar one of our friends for the Denali Coven.
"Oh hi Eleazar, it's not really a good time could you call back later."
"Edward?"
"Yes?"
"Something's happened." His voice creaked and I though that he was on the verge of sobbing.
"What's wrong?!" I said my tone tense as I straitened up on the desk. I heard the door open briefly behind me and shut.
I turned around and Alice was standing in the doorway looking at me. Everyone else was standing behind her with worried and tense looks in their eyes.
"Hurry," was all I heard then the line went dead.
I closed the phone and then looked back up at my family. They were all looking at me waiting for the word.
"Let's go."
* * *
Fifteen minutes letter I was in my Volvo speeding down the highway. Alice sat next to me and the back of the car remained empty. The silence was painful for me as fear downed over me.
I couldn't hold the question back any longer, "You ca…."
"No, I can't." She caught me to punch before I could answer.
"What do you think I wrong?" I asked without taking my eyes away from the road."
"I truthfully don't know Edward. I just don't know." She sighed and leaned her head back against the head rest.
"Are you ok?" I was going to have a panic attack if I didn't stop worrying about everything.
"What did I say?" I was puzzled by her question.
"What?"
"When I was in that trance, what did I say?" I looked at her wondering where she had been during her episode or insanity.
"Um….you said something out sweet blood pouring and a child's prayer. Why?"
"I think it has something to do with this. I mean the whole Eleazar thing was just too creepy. And I keep having these images go through my head."
"What kind of images?" I asked trying to get anything useful out of Alice.
"Well it's really fuzzy, but I can make out two figures. They are dressed in black and one it taller then the other." She paused, her eyes closed. "Oh, the taller one is a man and there is a girl. She's….." She stopped mid sentence.
"She's what, Alice?" My voice rose slightly and I worked quickly to compose it.
"I….I don't know. I lost it." I she sighed in frustration and put her head down on her knees, which she had pulled up to her chest.
I sighed also and focused on the road trying to get to Alaska the fastest I could.
The next hour was spent in silence. Alice didn't move on hair and I remained frozen also. My hands wouldn't move form the wheel and my eyes stated focused on the road in the distance.
We where in Alaska by 10:30 and punched the gas petal down the whole way. I made my way along the familiar road to the house that we had all shared once. I cursed myself as I realized we still had along way to go.
When we where about two miles away from the house I picked up my cell phone and called Eleazar's number. The phone rang once, twice, "Come on pick up." I said in an anger blur of words.
The phone just rang and rang finally a recorded voice came on saying that the phone was out of service. "Damn it," I dropped my phone into Alice's lap as I drove up the long gravel drive way covered in snow.
I wasted no time to wait for the others to arrive. I pulled the keys out of the egnition and threw open the door. Alice was close at my side as we felw into the house. The door was slightly open and I pushed out of the way. I walked into the house and noticed that it was just as cold as outside.
"Eleazar?!" I yelled
There was no answer just the returning echo of my voice. I ran into the living room and looked around. I spotted the back of Kate's pale blond hair sitting in a large red chair.
"Kate," Alice sighed her name and rushed over to her.
Alice stood if front of her, her eyes wide with fear. I didn't wait to see what she was thinking. I ran over to where she stood. There sat Kate my favorite sister of the Denali Coven. Her hair as pale and straight as corn silk it flowed down the front of her shirt.
She was beautiful and I had never really seen it till now. But it wasn't what I was looking at this moment. I was looking at hole in her white shirt and her neck, which was snapped to the sides.
"Kate?" Alice asked helplessly. "Kate?!" She yelled and fell to her knees. I could do nothing but watch.
"Kate!?" She screamed so loud I thought it shook the house. "You can't leave me Kate, you can't" Alice started to dry sob and tremors own her body.
I got on the floor and held her body. She was holding on to Kate's leg and shaking it back and forth. Alice finally gave up and buried her face into my neck. We sat on the floor like that for who knows how long.
I just held her and rocked her body slowly. I didn't say anything because I couldn't I wanted so bad to lash out my own sobs but I held back. Finally I heard the sound of cars coming up the driveway. Alice just sobbed harder and clutched my shirt tighter.
"Don't let go," she pleaded in a small voice.
"Never," I whispered back in a horse voice.
I heard the footsteps come from in front of me. I looked up and Emmett and Jasper where looking at me. I shook my head and mouthed 'check the rest of the house'. Jasper hesitated, "keep her safe." He said in my head and I nodded
Some time letter I heard the sounds of Esme's and Rosalie's cries. Alice had quieted down but her body was still shaking. I closed my eye's not wanting to see Kate's lifeless body.
I felt a hand being placed on my shoulder and I opened my eyes to see Carlisle and Jasper. Jasper sat down next to me and I leaned in, to whisper in Alice's ear. "Alice, I'm going to let you go know okay. Jasper is right here, and I promise I will be back." She nodded and squeezed her eyes shut as I quickly picked her up and placed her in Jasper's arms.
"Take Kate, please." Carlisle said silently
I twitched slightly but I picked up her cold body carefully and followed my father out of the house. We walked out into the backyard where Emmett was already making a large bonfire. I swallowed hard and pulled Kate's head into my chest.
"Sleep well my daughter," Carlisle said and kissed her on the forehead. Emmett kissed her lightly on the lips and I did the same.
"Goodbye Katelyn," I said and kissed her on the head. I quickly laid her body into the burning fire and turned around the face my brother and father.
"Tell me," I demanded in a calm voice.
"Eleazar was in his study broken neck and a bullet hole that seemed to penetrate his chest. Carmen was in her room, head decapitated. Irina was in the library with her neck broken and the same bullet holes."
"What about Tanya?" I asked it was silent, "Where is she!?" I screamed at them.
"She's in Kate's room." Emmett said quietly not looking at me.
I fell to my knees in the snow and let out and angry scream. I pounded my fists into the ground and the whole earth shook. "No!" I screamed.
I didn't watch the others pile our brother's and sisters on the burning fire. It was to painful to watch. A if felt like I was human again and someone had stabbed a whole in my heart. They might as well have, anything was better then this.
There was a tiny knock on my window and I looked out to see Rosalie standing next to it. I rolled it down the whole way and looked at her with such hatred. Her eyes and body looked numbed, and then I remembered that Tanya had been one of her best friends. I let my face soften as I realized that she was also in pain.
"What Rose," I said almost inaudible.
"There's something you should see," was all she said. Her eye's were glazed over with what looked like the brink of insanity.
I simply got out of the car and started to follow her. We walked into the house and she led me into the room where a piano sat. It was the same baby grand that I was used to playing on when we came to visit. I didn't want to think about it so I just followed her over to the piano.
I took the scene in with wide eyes. One the top of the piano sat a glass bowl of what smelled like deer's blood, and on the stand of the piano was a dark blue envelope. On the front was printed my name in neat scrawl. I tore open the letter and pulled out a white sheet of paper.
ARE YOU AFRAID?
xoDeathxo
I growled loudly as I looked at the letter. I saw Rosalie jump slightly and I turned to leave the room. The rest of my family was already outside. I looked around but did not see Alice.
"Where is she?" I asked in a rough sounding voice.
"You car," Jasper answered slowly arms crossed against his chest.
"Good, don't wait up." I got into my Volvo and started the engine.
We where heading home the long way. I think both Alice and I needed sometime to thing about what had just happened to us both.
"Sweet, sweet blood," I pulled the car to a stop at the sound of Alice's words.
Once the car jerked to a stop I jerked my head to the side and looked at Alice. She was just staring out at the road. "What!" I said in a shocked voice.
"The blood in the bowl, it had sugar in it. That's what I think sweet blood means." Her face still didn't turn.
"What about the stupid prayer what the hell does that have to do with anything Alice." I was starting to get angry.
"A chant."
"A what?"
"A chant that is what the person says before or after they take a life. I think," her head tilted to the side a little.
"Part of our family just died and you are tying to figure out what your little visions mean?!" I yelled at her.
Finally she turned her head to the side slightly. "You think that you are the only one hurting Edward?"
I stayed silent.
"Huh? Do you think that any of us feel anymore terrible, or scared, or, or anything!" she yelled.
"I don't know Alice, I don't know." I said slumping back down in my seat.
"You're not the only one who lost someone you loved." That was the last thing she said to me before we started the drive home again.
When we finally made it home I pulled my car into the garage which was already full with the rest of my families cars. Alice got out quickly and ran into the house. I took my time walking slowly up the porch steps.
The sky was gray and I looked as if it was about to snow again. I sat down on the porch step and looked out into the forest. I thought for a minute then pulled the crumbled white piece of paper out of my pocket.
I read it again. And the truth was that I had never been more afraid in my life.
Ok I hoped you like. I am totally into this story. This I my first priority right now so things will get done fast. But my writing is motivated by all of your comments so I want at least five. SO REVIEW! Love you all. If you have any suggest on music let me know.
