(Embry's POV)
Who was that beautiful goddess in Emily's house? I kept repeating this question to myself as her picture made its way through my mind again. I was running to the western most border of the Quilet property. I didn't change as I ran out of Emily's but I knew that Sam, Jake, and Quil had. They were following me now, but they weren't in much of a hurry.
I came to a stop as I reached the border. If you had never lived on the reservation then you probably never even knew it was here, but I had lived here my whole life.
Jake, Sam, and Quil stopped a few trees away and ducked behind some trees to change. I stood there waiting for them. After a few moments they stepped out dressed in the same thing as me; a pair of ragged cut-offs.
"Embry…," Jake began the questioning, "you okay man?" "No. I think…I think I…imprinted…on her." I felt terrible and wonderful at the same time. I felt bad because I was so far away from her now, I felt like I was made of metal and she was the world's strongest magnet. "Are you sure? I mean how do you feel?" Quil was actually helping me here.
"I feel like I just saw an angel. She's perfect. Nothing could make me love her more than I do right now. I have to protect her." And that's when I smelled it. "Vampire" I had barely pulled off my cut-offs when I changed. The smell was coming from across the res. Who, or what, ever it was, was closer to Emily's and that angel, than I was and I didn't like it one bit.
We immediately took off towards the smell. It burned my nose to smell something so sickly sweet. The closer we got to Emily's, the stronger it was, the harder I pushed to go faster. I knew something bad was going to happen.
(Cassandra's POV)
I was just about to leave when someone knocked on the door. The boys had all left a while ago and now it was just the girls minus Leah, who had left earlier. But it couldn't be them, they never knock. I did a quick scan of minds just as Emily was about to open the door, I held it closed. She looked at me a question on her face, and I motioned for her to be quiet. Then I moved my fingers to my teeth and angled them down. Everyone knew that I meant vampire.
Apparently, his hearing was very good and he heard us inside because in the next second the door was wrenched open and I was staring straight into his chest. I didn't bother to look up I just began to run, but of course he caught me with no trouble. He slung me over his shoulder before running out of the doorway and to my house. Emmett squeezed me once in a big bear hug before sitting me down on my porch. I was quickly surrounded by everyone.
"What are you doing here?" I screamed in anger and frustration. "What do you mean?" Carlisle was still as calm as ever. "You don't get it, if you come near me at all during this year we'll all die!" I felt like crying and running to Carlisle, but that was the last thing I needed to do.
"Cassandra, did you use my power?" Alice was just like Carlisle in so many ways. I nodded and then felt Edward trying to break through my block and Jasper trying to calm me but I wasn't going to let it work this time. They had to know how serious I was, and what it could mean for them. "What did you see?" "Did it come to you or did you search for it?" Carlisle and Alice both started to question me at the same time, as the others looked on.
"It found me. I didn't search for it. I saw a man, or rather a vampire, with black hair and purple streaks walk into the sun. Emmett ran into the sun trying to stop him but it was too late and people had already seen them. Another vampire, Jane or something, was coming to check on Bella, and she saw the whole thing. She called in a lot of vampires to destroy both of them. But we wouldn't let them, we said not without a fight, the wolves stood by us on this but the men in the cloaks were too numerous and quickly destroyed all of us."
Everyone looked horror struck, and as Alice put a hand on my shoulder I realized I was crying. "Cassandra, when you were talking you kept saying 'we' like you fought with us and were destroyed?" Esme always caught on to the small details like that. " I tried to fight but I wasn't destroyed, I was killed, and to me in a way worse than anything. I was made a vampire. And, the bad part is, the Volturri began using my power on innocents, and I wasn't like you. I wasn't strong or beautiful, or golden eyed. I was a monster and I'm sorry but I can't let that happen."
"Alice can you try to see the future now?" Carlisle asked as he regained his calm demeanor. Alice got a far away look in her eyes. She was in a trance for almost three minutes before she started screaming. Carlisle, Jasper and Edward were all by her side in a second as she came out of her vision.
"We have to leave, NOW!" Alice screamed to everyone and no one in particular. "What did you see?" Jasper was sending waves of calmness out to everyone. "If we don't leave now, he will find her. He's following our scent and if he finds her… Carlisle she killed them all without any problem." Alice wouldn't speak anymore so Edward reached into her mind to look at the vision.
"Carlisle she killed Aro, Casius, and Marcus before they could blink. All she had to do was look at them." Edward finished for Alice. "We will leave now, we will lead him away. Sweetie," Carlisle said looking at me, "we're going to be away for awhile. We'll be in Wisconsin but you have our numbers. We also brought you some of your clothes." He said as they turned to leave.
I ran up behind them "I love you guys so much. Please tell me we'll see each other again." I said sobbing into my hands. "I'm sorry, Cassandra, but we can't let any vampires find you." I sobbed harder than I ever had in my life. "Goodbye." I managed to say before they ran. Ran from my house, my life, and from me.
