I looked at my watch and it was 1:00 in the morning. Edward's icy arms were around me. I must have slept in the storage closet all night. But oh well, i felt safe. But I knew it could only last for so long.
"Good morning," Edward whispered in my ear. His voice held depression and worry. I hadn't been awake for more than one minute and i already started to cry. He reached up and wiped my one tear away. I was alarmed when his cell phone rang. He checked the caller I.D before he opened it. I leaned closer so i could hear.
"Alice? Are you guys all ready?" Edward asked.
"Ready? Ready for what hun?"
I went into complete shock. That was not Alice's voice. It was... Regina's. Edward was in shock also and didn't know what to say.
"What have you done?" Edward yelled.
There was a laugh on the other end of the line. "Nothing yet. I was hoping to have human combined in my meal. Want to join me?"
I gasped of disgust.
Edward's eyes turned black as I watched them. Normally they wouldn't turn black, just when he was angry, but this was different. Nobody said anything
"I thought you would feel that way. I knew you were unloyal from the second I saw you. I just knew you would fall into my little trap of cat and mouse. You fall in love with your long lost love and what else? You bring me into it so I have to kill her. Dont you see? It's all your fault. This wasnt even part of the plan! Remember, we were going to kill the werewolves, but no. I'm sorry I ever met you and I bet Bella is too right now."
Tears ran down me cheek. He was really going to try and kill the werewolves? Jacob? He looked into my eyes with complete regret and sorrow.
"You liar! I wasn't planning on killing the werewolves. You forced me remember!" Edward yelled.
"Forced? Who would ever do such a thing?" Regina laughed over the line again. I felt much better knowing that Edward really wasn't going to kill the werewolves. But I still felt hatred, hatred I had never felt before.
" Meet me back in Forks, remember the town you use to live in?" she laughed again. "Meet me in your house tonight. And I suggest you don't be late, you don't want to kill your family." she teased.
There was a pause but Edward didn't hang up, knowing she was still there. There was a muffled yell in the phone. It was Alice. "Edwa-!" She was cut off, and then the phone line went dead.
The feeling of preparing to die, was not one that you would ever want. I had felt it when I knew James was tracking me, but now that it's happening again, I don't think I can handle it.
"We'd better leave." Edward choked reluctantly.
I wanted to cry, I could even feel the sting in my tear ducts, but I guess since I had been crying so much lately that I Was dried out.
"Here. Get on my back. We have to get to the airport."
It hurt when he helped me up, my leg started to pain badly. I winced when he lifted me effortlessly. "You know, it will be so mcuh easier for me to be killed with my leg like this, "I whispered when he started running. I knew that he had previously given this a thought, by his face.
"Nothing's going to happened to you, I won't allow it."
I rolled my eyes. "Why even take the risk? If you would change be, than this would be much easier. You can't do this alone. Two against one."
He stopped running and set me down balancing half my weight with his arm. He looked into my eyes. "As a newborn, you still wouldn't know enough to use your abilities. Besides, I could jepordize your life quickly and painfully with just with my teeth. I've- I've never done it before. I could mess up easily and I would never-." he stopped. "No. I can handle them. Trust me." He promised and then kissed my cheek very intamatly.
I knew and he knew, that this was our only option left.
