Chapter 9 "Warming Up"

Sophia's POV

●2 months later●

Basically, I was forced to go hunting with Alec...alone.

Mom, Dad, Aunt Rosie, Aunt Alice, Uncle Emmett and Uncle Jasper are all at school, grandma is doong some charity work at a foster home (I swear that she would be an amazing queen of England!) while grandpa is working at the hospital. Isaac, Jane, Alec and I were the only ones left in the house.

Why did the Cullen's left the two of us here alone with the twins? Well, surprisingly, Jane have warmed up to is already. She's now different from the emotionless girl from the Volturi. She's now smiling, frowning, giggling and laughing. Although she is still violent. No surprise in that.

But what is surprising is that...a little over a week ago, we discovered that Isaac and Jane are...dare I say it...mates. And let me tell you that Alec is pissed off. As in REALLY pissed off.

Speaking of the cutie (whaat?!), he hasn't really changed much. Alec is still that emotionless, glaring boy from the Volturi although he's a bit calm now. Maybe it's because of the fact that I'm his singer.

Anyways, I was forced to go hunting with Alec because Isaac and Jane wanted to be alone. Whatever they want to do...I refuse to know or hear. And because of that, I practically dragged Alec outside. Right timing to because my throat is slightly burning.

"Hey!" Alec protested.

"If you don't want to see yout sister snogging my cousing then you better come with me and stop complaining." I said. He just groaned. And boy what a smexy groan that was.

We have been running for a few minutes when we heard a light flowing and rushing of water. I followed the sound with Alec hot on my heels and stumbled upon the most amazing sight ever. A small meadow decorated with beautiful, lavender colored wild flowers, a waterfall flowing with clear blue water along the river and that's not the surprising part. There was a small cottage in the middle of the meadow. It was like the cottage in Forks that mom and dad told me about only smaller and more...princess like.

"Wow..." I breathed out.

"Hmm..." Alec hummed. I guess he finds this meadow fascinating too.

"Come on, let's go inside!" I chirped then skipped to the front door of the cottage where a letter was found. I picked it up and was hit by the scent of lavenders and lilies.

I read the letter out loud;

"To whom it may concern:

To the one that is fated to step foot in this meadow, this house is now yours. This house is hidden in the deepest and most dangerous area of the forest. Reaching this house and reading this letter means that you are no ordinary creature.

You must understand that this house is my most precious possession and I have protected this until my last breath. Take care and cherish this little property for me.

From,

Jeanette Rivera"

"Wow." I breathed out for the second time. I took hold of the door knob and opened the door.

The place looks amazing. The walls are decorated in a light caramel colored wallpaper and some wall decorations, the floor is dark wood in color and there is a cream colored carpet in the middle of the living room where Alec and I first walked in.

Yep. Apparently, Alec is as curious as me.

Anyways, there is a gray L-shaped couch and two other small couches in the middle facing the brick fireplace. We explored the house a little bit and found a huge master's bedroom with a large white bed, a cute nursery filled with pink fluffy stuff, a dining room and a kitchen.

"So, what are you going to do with this house?" Alec asked from behind me.

I pursed my lips and thought for a while.

"I'll call mom and dad!" I said. He just rolled his eyes. "But before that, I need to find the distance of this cottage from the main house."

I walked outside and flew up in the air using my gift, making my hair be blown by the wind. I sneaked a glanced at Alec and his eyes were filled with amazement and fascination.

I looked around and saw that we were just a couple of miles away from the house. I returned to the ground and smiled.

"How far?" Alec asked.

"Just a couple of miles." I shrugged. I locked the door and took the key which is placed above the doorway before taking hold of Alec's hand, sending tingles throughout my body and dragging him to hunt.

We ran through the thick forest until I smelled a grizzly bear. My favorite. I ran towards the direction of the bear and drowned it out in seconds.

Just as I was discarding the remains of the fluffy bear, I heard a growl from not far behind. I looked at Alec, who is in front of me, and saw him tense.

Whatever that growl was, it definitely isn't a normal animal. Then, out of nowhere, 5 large wolves that are the size of a horse charged towards us which got me by surprise and prevented me from using my gift.

I screamed as a russet brown colored wolf pinned me down to the ground trying to bite my head off. I screamed as I got hold of the wolf's head preventing it from killing me.

"Sophia!" I heard Alec call my name.

Alec then, used his gift on the wolves to stop them so that we'll have time to get away. Unfortunately, his gift took time to spread through the clearing and I was the farthest away from him.

I was waiting for Alec's gift to work because I can't use my gift and also because I can't handle the growling and strength of the large wolf that is trying to kill me. Then, my half vampire strength failed me. My arms and hands gave up, giving access to the wolf and sure enough I felt a sharp stinging pain on the left side of my body and a warm, red fluid oozing out from it. Luckily, Alec's gift worked just before the wolf was about to bite my head off.

All I can think of was;

I'm dead. With blood flowing out of my wound and being Alec's singer, I could tell that I'm not going to last long.

The last thing I saw was Alec's worried face and his once crimson red eyes which are now pitch black before blackness consumed me.

●Third Person POV● (- first time in ANY of my stories)

As Sophia lay there almost swimming in her own blood, Alec is torn between drinking her blood and saving her. There is no doubt that his feelings have changed for this green eyed girl. If this incident happened two months ago, there is no question on what he's going to do. But now, he's torn.

A growl pulled Alec from his thoughts, he turned and saw the 5 wolves stalking closer and closer to the both of them.

He knows what he's going to do.

Despite the extreme burning in his throat, he picked up Sophia in his arms and ran with the wolves hot on his heels. His eyes getting blacker and his throat getting hotter by the second.

But for him, it doesn't matter because at that moment, he realized something. He realized that he has a certain attraction to the mahogany haired beauty who now lays unconscious and bleeding in his arms.

●Jane's POV● (I know, a ton of POVs but I think it kinda gives the story some kind of...sense?)

"Why do you think Sophia and Alec are taking so long?" I asked Isaac as I lay in his arms on the couch.

"Maybe they stumbled upon something...different." he shrugged. "Sophia is a very curious little kitten. A noise by the bushes will send her running to that direction."

We laughed.

The both of us inhaled just as the wind blew from the forest. An alarming scent sent me into panic mode.

The stinking smell of...dogs and the smell of blood. And not just any blood but Sophia's blood mixed in with Alec's scent.

But before we could jump on our feet, my brother appeared on the doorstep carrying a blood covered Sophia in his arms.

"What happened?!" I shrieked. Then I noticed that Alec's eyes are pitch black. I bet that it's hard for him to carry Sophia here because her blood sings to him like the sweetest honey among the rows and rows of bottled water.

"Stinking werewolves jumped out from nowhere and attacked us. They're still chasing us." my brother snarled through gritted teeth. Isaac took out his phone and dialed someone's number. I hope that it's Carlisle.

"Hello, Isaac." Carlisle's voice answered the phone as I listened on to their conversation. I tuned out the rest of the conversation and focused on giving Sophia some first aid.

I took her out of Alec's arms and set her down on the medical table in Carlisle's office. I lifted her shirt up and saw that she has a huge wound at the left side of her body near her heart. And I'm now hearing her heart falter and skip a beat.

I quickly cleaned her wound in a flash. A few minutes later, we heard cars pull up the driveway and instantly Bella appeared at Sophia's side.

"My baby!" she cried out as she sobbed tearlessly. "What happened to her?"

"I thought Alec would have already told you." I said.

"He's nowhere to be found." Edward replied. "But by the stench, I could already tell what happened."

"Yeah." I nodded. "My brother said that they were attacked by some horse sized wolves while they were hunting."

I heard Bella gasp.

"How did they get here?!" she exclaimed.

But before anyone could answer her question, a sound of a slowing heart caught our attention and immediately, Carlisle appeared in the room and attended to Sophia.

I got out of the room and went to find my brother, tracking him using his scent.

After almost 5 minutes of full speed running through the thick jade maze, I came up to an old warehouse. I peeked inside and sae my brother sitting down on top of a wooden desk with 3 dead and drained bodies on the floor.

I walked up to him and saw his crimson red eyes filled with regret and sorrow.

Alec just sighed when he saw me.

"You know, I'm kind of proud of you, brother." I said with a smirk as I sit down with him. He sighed again. "I know that she's your singer and I also know that...you have some kind of...attraction towards her."

He looked at me. His face blank but his eyes filled with shock.

"Twin's intuition I think." I shrugged then let out a twinkling laugh. "Just kidding. It's really obvious, you know? Your face might be blank but your eyes shows all of the emotions that you hide."

He just rolled his eyes. Alec was never really the one for a conversation but when he opens his mouth, he speaks with his whole heart and soul.

"I almost killed her..." He told me. His voice with a slight hint of sadness and sorrow. "H-How is she?"

He stuttered. For the first time since we became a vampire, he stuttered in his words. The concern in his voice is also unmistakeable.

"I don't really know. Sophia is in a really...horrible state when I left to find you." I said in a flat voice.

Then he ran a hand through his hair.

"If I were you, I'd get back to the house to see if she's okay myself. Who knows when those dogs would pop up." I suggested, standing up and walking outside.

I just hope that my dear brother follows my advice because God knows that he'll go through hell if Sophia dies.

●Bella's POV● (Ugh. Again with the POVs)

"That mutt will really get it!" Rosalie shrieked. "When I see them, I'll tore them to shreds and feed their remains to the Loch Ness Monster!"

While Rosalie paced back and forth, here I am waiting for the news that my daughter is alright. I can't believe that Jake had done this to her. I mean, what did Sophia do to him, anyways?! Nothing!

I was pulled out from my thought by a tense panicking upstairs where Carlisle and Edward were trying to heal Sophia. I bolted upstairs and saw them trying to revive my daughter.

"W-what's happening?" I asked, worriedly.

"Whoever bit her sunk his teeth into her side deep. Very deep and near the heart too." Carlisle said.

"No." I whispered. "This isn't happening. You have to save her Carlisle!"

"We're trying, love." Edward said. "But...I don't think Sophia can survive this human."

"You mean..."

"Yes. We need to turn her into a full vampire."

"B-but the pain..." I whispered, not wanting my daughter to experience any kind of pain but I also don't want her to be gone. "Okay. Just do it please! Anything to save my baby!"

Edward took a syringe from a drawer and injected it straight through my daughter's heart, pumping the venom into her veins.

We waited for a few seconds before my daughters glass shattering screams filled the air. She didn't even said a word. She just kept screaming. I felt my heart breaking at the sound of my angel in pain.

I broke into tearless sobs in my husband's arms wishing that her agony will soon go away.
