"What do you want here"?, she asked. Can we actually look at you, i know you might not care, but
i think it should be considered an insult if i dont look somebody in the eyes when i talk to them.
she hesitated, wondering if she could trust me. suddenly the repulsion when away and we could
look at her again, "Thank you", "dont thank me, thank fred, hes the one that stopped it". i looked at
fred, and from his look, i dont think he really cared if i sadi thank you or not, he clearly didnt like
me."well" said hiedi, "to answer your first question, we were on are way to washington to see the
cullens". i wondered what they thought of that, it was clear that mary knew exactly who hiedi was,
and since i was with her, my guess was she thought i was just another part of the guard. "Why
would you two want to go to the cullens, you have no one there to see, and im pretty sure they do
not want to see you". i looked at her, she was just stareing at me, and then her head turned just
slightly, like she was trying to look at something from a different angle. "Oh my" she said. "it cant
be". i was confused now, i knew she had never met me before."you look just like him. You have to
be actually related, but that...thats impossible". i just looked at her. i started getting a smirk on my
face, actually from they way hiedi put it, it was my crooked smile that i now had on my face." OH
MY GOD! theres no way your not related to Edward. thats the exact same crooked smile he has".
i just laughed, a friendly laugh, hopefully one that would calm those 2 down and i would be able to
explain my situation. which i have to say, was likely to happen now that mary was speechless. it
didnt look like fred had anything to say. "Yes i am edwards brother, i have been held prisoner by
the volturi for the last one hundred years". i said this and mary's eyes got wide. "i was trained by
them to be a weapon, because i have a certain ability they see as a very dangerous one". i really
didnt want to show them this, because i didnt know how fred would react." she just stared. hiedi
spoke up then. "we are on are way to see them, because we need their help, we escaped the
volturi, but we both have a feeling that it was something they planned. we were not chased,
followed or anything". mary looked at hiedi then, "well, then i suppose you should hurry up and get
there, and i have to say, ive been needing to talk to carlisle about something, so fred and i are
coming with you". i looked at her for a second. i really started thinking about this, and it didnt seem
like that hard of decision for me. i would let them follow. having them there would get rid of almost
any chance of any looked at me and nodded in agreement. "So, just in case you
were wrong about being followed, i suggest we get going", mary said turning in the opposite
direction. hiedi and i took the lead quickly and we started to run again. "when do you think we will
get there"? hiedi asked mary. "probably a day and a half if we dont stop and keep on a straight
path, actually maybe sooner if you guys wouldnt mind picking up the pace". we turned back
towards her, she had a smile on her face. as far as i could tell, mary was probably in her early
twenties maybe 24 when she was turned. another thing i could tell, was that fred, and that very
strong ability he had, was very protective of her. right after we had looked back, she was suddenly
gone, and we both had to turn around, and couldnt help but have a repulsed look on our faces. we
could only tell that they were behind because of they're footsteps. we took mary's advice and
picked up the speed, i wasnt sure if they would be able to keep up with us, hiedi and i were the
fastest of the volturi, but as far as i could tell they kept up just fine. maybe the nomads were faster
then vampires that stayed in a certain place all the time, it would sort of make sense. all of a
sudden a boom of thunder sounded off in the distance, i looked up and noticed for the first time
the colossal storm cloud over head. i loved the rain and everything that came with it, the lightning,
the thunder, and the smells that it enhanced all around me. It also allows me to think, but i have to
say, right now, i didnt feel like doing much thinking. "maybe we should find a car", i said. "whys
that", hiedi asked, wondering why i would want the car. she new i loved the rain. "i dont want to get
soaked out here, and i dont think our friends would like that either". i lied, not wanting to tell her
the real reason. she just nodded, but the look on her face, looked as if she wasnt quite satisfied
with the answer. we turned slightly in the direction of the highway that was a few miles in that
direction. when we got next to it we followed it to the city it led to. "South bend, Indiana" i read, on
the sign leading in to the city. "now lets find a fast car and hurry up". it had just begun to sprinkle
and from the looks of it, it was only going to get worse, much worse. This was a big enough city
that maybe it had some over zealous rich person that had a thing for fast cars. luckily the over
zealous rich person i hoped to find, lived near the city edge and his lock on his garage was easy
enough to snap off. we found just i wanted, a Maybach 62 Sedan, the tenth most expensive car in
the world. powered by a 5.5L twin-turbo V12 engine pushing 612 HP. "Now this is a car, im
driving", i called aloud. they just laughed. we hopped in and found the keys in the car, what an
idiot i thought. i started it, and heard the car engine, and my mind instantly thrilled at the sound. i
burned rubber leaving tire marks in the garage, we were on the freeway heading towards
washington in no time. i hit 160 by the time the rain really started pouring down. I could see Hiedi
looking at me with a big smile on her face, probably reacting to huge grin on my face. For once i
could actully look at Fred without having to look away, maybe hes feeling a little comfortable
around us now.
Traffic wasn't bad at all, and sence I didn't have to sleep, we were making awesome time.
