I could feel myself regain consciousness but, I decided to pretend to be sleeping.
From the smell of the air, I could tell we hadn't left the forest, but from the darkness past my eyelids, I could tell we'd gone farther in.
"Why pretend to be asleep?" a voice asked nonchalantly. A voice I knew to well.
Sitting up, I opened my mismatched orbs and looked into a pair of crimson ones.
"Alec." I muttered darkly, glaring at the brunette.
"There is no need for you to be angry with him my child. It is I who wished to speak with you."
I didn't need to look, to know that my father had come to pay me an unwanted visit.
"What do you want? I thought we agreed that you would stay out of my life if your people started coming back from their missions in one piece?" I asked, my voice taking on a hard edge.
"Please my child. I just want you home safe with me." He said, pretending to be the oh so caring father everyone thought him to be.
"I will not fail this time. You will not take her away from me in an attempt to keep me to yourself!" I hissed, refusing to look at the man I hated so.
"Her? Don't you mean him?" Alec asked, looking slightly confused.
"No, her." I said, not bothering to explain anything to the man.
The confused expression did not leave his handsome face, and by the determined look on mine, he knew I wasn't going to explain, so he looked to Aro.
"After killing so many of our people, Schuyler.."
"Do not call me that." I hissed, my hands clenching into fists.
"Here was brought before the council of Goddess' and given a punishment. As her punishment she was turned into a guetteur, or watcher. She was assigned one person to watch over until they complete their destiny, and she seems to believe that I of all people would deliberately kill that person to try and send her running back to me." He explained, making me seem like the bad guy, yet again.
"Let me guess, she was assigned to Isabella Swan. Edward's little play toy?" he asked, the amusement obvious in his voice.
I smirked to myself as they continued talking; their little discussion was the exact distraction I needed.
Centering my attention on exactly what I wanted the energy from the forest doing my bidding I whispered,
"Lier et aveugle ma terre."
Instantly, both vampires were both bound and lay blind on the forest floor.
"Never give a gypsy the perfect opening to perform a spell, morons." I muttered, sprinting through the forest to the one place I needed to be.
The Cullen's house.
