Sooooorrrryyy, I know it has been way to long ! No I'm not dead, and I havent forget about it... But I was really really busy with school and tests and more school and babysitting :s
So here's the next chapter! hope you like it :) Read and review please!
So like most people... I don't own Twilight.
"…so what now?" someone asked.
"Karaoke!" Darcy yelled. Well… that I hadn't expected from her. Reluctantly the boys started mumbling but she got up and put a colorful disk in and grabbed a mic. She chose the song 'Girlfriend' from Avril Lavigne. She was good and she was giving a show, and anyone could see that she loved it.
When the song was done she pressed the mic in the hands of Giovanna. She was beaming and scrolled through the songs, her eyes eagerly searching the perfect one. That's when I saw that most of the songs were rock music or cheesy ballets; not all, but most. She chose 'Last of the American Girls' from Green Day. While singing she was dancing as well. It was fun to watch and I could see 'her guy' was madly in love with the girl in front of him.
When the song was over we were all applauding and she made a huge bow. She gave the mic to one of the guys, Embry. After a lot of grunting and cheering from the other guys he got out of the couch and chose his song. Everyone was stunned when he chose 'Supergirl' from Hannah Montana. He not only sang but danced as well; no one could hold still and we were laughing our asses off. He did not sing well but his dancing made up for that.
After that he gave the mic to Seth who was grunting. Grumbling, Seth got up and wanted to choose a song but Brady had already chosen the song when Seth reached the remote. So Seth ended up singing 'Barbie Girl' from Aqua. And he did a pretty good job too. Everyone was clapping in the rhythm and Quil and Embry started dancing. I was sooo relieved when Paul put his hand in front of my eyes, cause if I had seen one more air-kiss from Embry I would've puked.
When Emily called that diner was served everyone raced to the table. Paul and I sat next to each other, Emily told me I could get whatever I wanted from the fridge. I got up and walked to the kitchen; I got to the fridge and grabbed an apple and an orange. When I went to go out the kitchen I could hear about what they were talking about. A vampire was getting in and out the territory; that's why all the imprints were here and some wolves, like Leah, weren't.
"Man, I just can't believe it," Jacob said, his tone completely serious, "How can a bloodsucker be that fast and crafty. It's like she expected us to be here."
"I know what you mean," said Jared, "She didn't even flinch when she saw us come out of the forest. It was like she expected us to be here."
I noticed that Paul looked shaken; something I had never seen before. This scared me. Soon after I noticed it, Seth noticed it too.
"Hey man, are you ok?" Seth said carefully, so he didn't start up Paul's temper again, which I had noticed could be as violent as mine.
Paul stared at Seth with what I could only think of as desperation in his eyes. He waited a few moments before speaking. "No, I'm not. I've been thinking about the last time I was chasing the leech. I remember her saying something like 'you aren't the angel'. Before I met Alexia, I didn't really think about it, but now…" he trailed off in despair.
I walked out of the kitchen and it was silent for a second, after that everyone just kept on talking. But the vampire wasn't the subject anymore. Maybe they were hoping that I didn't hear them, and forgetting that my hearing was probably better than theirs. I decided to ignore the conversation though; Paul was probably just being over protective of me and imagining things.
That night was the first I went back home. I was glad Arabella still came to take care for Killah. When I was home I started thinking about the vampire again. Didn't they trust me… or was Paul against the idea of me knowing; scared I would hunt it… or was it coincidence?
I didn't feel tired, after all the last two days I had slept more than ever. I wanted to go into the woods again. The wolves knew who I was, so no need to panic, and what were the chances of running into the vampire tonight? But I had to change clothes first. While running up my room I was still wondering about what was said at dinner. Quickly I grabbed dark red skinny jeans and a black shirt. I walked downstairs and into my backyard while smelling the air. Nothing unusual, so I kept on walking into the woods. The further in the woods the more I had the climb over fallen trees and stones. When I was very deep I stopped and sat down. I enjoyed the silence; it had been awhile since I had gone into the forest and just listened to the sounds of nature.
However, a couple minutes later I heard rustling. It was still far away but I didn't want to lose time. I let my wings out and looked at my long dress that had appeared. I listened and heard the rustling again, it was coming closer. I put my nose in the air and smelled sugar. The noise slowed down, but kept on moving in my direction. Relieved, I found that it was only one person, but couldn't see anything yet.
Being who I am I stayed alerted and suddenly a saw a person standing in front of me. It was a very pale woman with red eyes, her dark blond hair hanging in lose curls around her face, her lips curled up in a little smile. The scent of sugar hung around her. She, I was certain, was a vampire.
She smiled at me. "My, my I almost can't believe my eyes," she laughed sweetly. Her crimson eyes never leaving me.
I didn't say a thing;I just straightened my back. I had no reason to be afraid, I could take her. The way the bloodsucker crouched just slightly told me she was on the verge of attacking. Her feet didn't stand firm, like running was the second option. I wouldn't run, that I knew; I would take her down. She wouldn't be a threat to Paul anymore.
"I found myself the little dark angel, who would've thought that." She smiled at me. When I didn't react she continued, "Even better the little dark princess. Who would have thought that I would find you here, among wolves! Even so, master will be so pleased." When she started to pounce I shot in the air, my wings carrying me.
I dived to her left and knocked her to the floor. I felt a twinge of satisfaction before I saw how fast she was. Within milliseconds she launched for me barely missing me by an inch. I was about to give her a blow to the head but then she started to run the other way. I couldn't let her get away; if I let her go she would just come back another day… she had threatened me, and she was a threat to my dear ones. I followed her, flying right above her head. She tried to get away but I could follow every move she desperately made, no matter how fast.
Finally she turned at me teeth barred, sensing that she wouldn't be able to out run me. When she flung at me I tried to duck, but she got hold of one of my wings and I felt her fingers crushing bones. Despite my willpower, I screamed; I couldn't hold it in. I plummeted to the ground and noticed my breathing was too hollow. I took a deep breath and lunged for her, pinning her to the ground. I was able to snap her neck and it rolled away from her body, a scowl still on her face.
Then I felt other presences. I tensed, hoping that there wouldn't be any more. The adrenaline was starting to wear off and my wing was really starting to hurt. However when I looked up I saw several wolves coming closer. I wanted to put my wings away but I couldn't since one of them was broken. I quickly got off the body, sensing what they wanted to do, and the wolves started shredding her. Soon a fire was lit and the pieces were thrown into it.
One of the wolves came closer; it was a dark gray one. I knew it was Paul, I could sense it. He looked at my wing and then back to me. I nodded, "It's nothing, it's just broken. It'll heal, but I can't pull them in until it's healed," I shrugged.
Most of the wolves were heading back to Sam's house, probably sharing the good news, leaving Paul and me on our own; except for the burning ashes. Paul walked away and came back in human form only wearing cutoff jeans. "Sure you're alright?"
Carefully I nodded. I didn't want to admit it hurt like hell. It wasn't the first time I had a broken wing, so I knew the pain would only become worse. "Ijust want to go home and lay down for a while." I gave him a little smile. We walked back to my house.
"So what were you saying about the vampire at Sam's house?" I asked nonchalantly. Paul suddenly stopped and looked at me in surprise.
"You heard us?" I nodded. "How?" he asked, "We were barely whispering. You would have had to be standing right next to us to hear anything."
I grinned at him. "My senses are better than you think. They are probably equal to yours," I said smugly.
"Guess so. So… about the vampire… I guess I just wasn't ready to tell you," he guiltily admitted, " I had just gotten you back, and I was afraid that you would leave again if you found out that you were in danger. And I was hoping that we could catch it before you would even find out about it," he said sheepishly.
I smiled at him; I could tell that he wasn't the kind of guy that apologized a lot. "Thanks for telling me that, but it wasn't what I meant. You were talking about how you heard it say something about a dark angel. The thing is, nobody knows that we exist; especially vampires."
Paul thought this over for a second. "So does that mean that this vampire wasn't alone; that there are others who want you dead!" said almost yelled with panic.
I thought this over for a second. "I guess it does," I held a finger up to stop Paul's next response, "but there's nothing that we can do about it right now. And besides," I said smiling, "I have plenty of protection. Who else in the world can say they have a whole wolf pack protecting them."
"Who else has a vampire trying to kill them," Paul grumbled. "But I guess you are right. We can't do anything more than keep on guard for you. Then when the next 'assassin' comes, we will be ready," he said with determination and fire in his eyes.
When we reached my backyard Paul walked in first to see if no one would see me. When the coast was clear I walked inside.
I walked up to my room and lay down on my stomach, not daring to lie on my wings. I fell asleep instantly.
The next morning I woke up groggily…suddenly I heard a noise from downstairs. Careful not to hurt my wing I got up and walked downstairs. The noise came from the kitchen. When I entered my tense shoulders suddenly shook with laughter. Paul was standing there with a pink apron mixing some fruit. "What are you doing?" I asked between fits of laughter.
He looked confused, "Making a fruit salad… why?"
"Pink isn't really your color." I smiled, I looked down at the ground. Killah was lying on her pillow her head on her paws. I filled her bowls and walked to the kitchen princess.
"What is my color then? And how's your wing doing?" he asked while putting his hands on my waist.
"Still broken but it's going to be fine. Black or really dark blue would fit you better." Killah huffed like she was telling me I'm right. I always knew I had a smart dog; lazy as hell, but smart.
"I know what will help your wing," Paul smirked, while leaning down.
"What's that?" I smiled while suddenly drowning into his eyes. They had a different fire in them than yesterday; this was something new.
He didn't answer my question; instead he leaned down and planted the softest kiss I've ever experienced on my lips.
