A/N: Hello. This is just a quick update. I was bored, and decided to write it. Lola, hope you're happy! Enjoy, and don't forget to R & R!
Disclaimer: The Twilight characters and the lyrics don't belong - and never will - to me. Both things are amazing... unlike this story.

Chapter Seven - Tears
'Cry alone, I've gone away. No more nights, no more pain.'
"Edward is gonna' kill me..." Ella said, shaking her head, pressing her palms against her now gold eyes. She took a shaky breath in, lips starting to tremble. Matt patted her back while Johnny sighed and shook his head. Dez rolled his eyes.
"Ells, you didn't do anything wrong," I said, pulling her hands away from her face. "Everybody mucks up every now and again. Today just happened to be your day. There's nothing wrong with slipping up." She looked up at me, water brimmed the edges of her golden orbs... hold on, water? "What the-"
One single tear slid from her eye, down her cheek, trailing to her chin, and dropping of like a little crystal. All the colours that reflected off the pain-filled drop bounced back at me like a little rainbow.
Johnny hugged Ella close, shaking his head. "Ells, no. Don't cry, please. You know I hate it when you do!" He pressed his face into her curls as another drop trekked down her cheek.
I blinked. "Would some one please explain why she can cry?"
Dez looked up at me. "We're not sure ourselves... just one day, she got upset and tears started to fall." He shrugged wiry shoulders. "It's amazing though, for a vampire to cry. How can they with no water in their bodies?"
That's the same thing I'm asking myself.
"Come on, Edward's probably wondering where we are," I said, breaking the silence - except for the silent sobs that escaped Ella's chest. She looked up at me with horrified eyes, wide and rimmed with red skin from rubbing them to much.
"You serious?" she asked, disbelief rolling through her words.
I nodded. "Yes, sadly. Now come on. Before Emmett rushed out and crushes us."
~~3~~
Run... Run... Run.
Tears streamed her cheeks as the breath escaped her lungs. Her pants heaved in and out of her body so fast, barely giving any oxygen to her already tired muscles. Her lips were dry, and she couldn't even lick them her mouth was so sore.
Her legs felt like jelly, but she didn't stop running. Her heart felt like it was about to burst, but she didn't stop running. Her eyes felt dry, but she didn't stop running. Hell, even her brain felt tired, but she never stopped pumping her arms the way her track coach had told her.
Trees seemed to slow as she lost breath. She stopped, leaning against a large that reached up towards the clouds. Blue Jay birds flittered around the branches, singing their merry afternoon songs. Bees buzzed around a hive from the tree across her, which was dripping with sweet nectar and honey.
She had almost died. She was left for dead by her own boyfriend. The tired girl reached up to touch her bruised neck, wincing as she felt the sore parts over her sensitive skin. Something sticky wetted her fingers, and she pulled her hand away to show crimson staining her tips.
Blood.
She felt along her neck again. Yep, the blonde guy dug his nails into her neck, probably infected it with dirty finger nails. He didn't even look dirty, but you never know.
As soon as she felt all the water drain from her body - either from tears or sweat - she leaned away from giant organism, and started to wander through the forest. A frown touched her lips, her forehead creased. Her feet were sore, and all she wanted to do was get back home so Mum could make some chicken-noodle soup for her. But, that would never happen.
She was lost.
And the worse thing?
Trouble was lurking around the corner. Or, the tree she had been leaning on, to be exact.
~~3~~
Edward was furious. Carlisle was furious. Jasper was furious. Alice was furious. Emmett was furious. Rosalie was furious. Hell, even Esme was furious.
You know what the 'funny' part is?
They're furious at me.
"Bella," Edward groaned, pinching the bridge of his perfect, straight nose. "You should have checked the perimeter before you went to hunt." He turned his dark eyes towards me, anger starting to subside.
I bit my lip. Ella was looking down, Johnny was looking bored, Dez was looking tired, and Matt just looking. All of them were guilty, Jasper must be feeling it very strongly too. Add another guilty person, please.
"I'm so, so, so sorry!" I said, wincing a bit. "I know I shoulder have checked around, but I didn't. Hunting was just sudden... but, I did stop it!" I announced that as if it was the best thing next to fast broad band on computers.
Carlisle sighed. "That's not the point Bella. The point is that those humans could let the secret out that some weird people are out hunting others for blood. Once that's out, everyone would assume that Vampires are actually real." He shook his head, looking very warily. "Do you know what would happen if the Voulturi came?"
At the, Ella's head snapped up. "No! The Voulturi can't come! Bella hasn't even done anything wrong. It was my fault. I'm the one who first chased after the scent! Blame me! It wasn't Bella; I almost killed some innocent life, not h-"
"Shut up Ella!" Edward hissed at his sister.
She shrank back, biting her lip, pressing herself against Dez as much as she could. Like she could hide her whole body inside of him, and away from the madness that is happening. Dez seemed to understand, and wrapped his lanky arms around her small form.
"But Edward... it's true!" She screeched so loud I cringed back at the bite that the volume had. Everyone else did to, but Dez just looked to the side, as if used to it. Edward mashed his lips together, getting frustrated with his sister.
"Ella... why are you so worried about the Voulturi coming?" My husband asked, cocking his head and raising an eyebrow.
Ella's eyes went wide, her skin turning even paler. She looked like a ghost with red rimmed eyes, pale skin and delicate features. She pulled away from her coven member, and stalked to the door. "What do you m-".
As the door opened, as gasp was let out by the young vampire.
And that exact moment, an ear shattering scream seemed to fill the house.
