Chapter 9

I was getting really restless on the plane. I tried to keep myself occupied by watching movies surprisingly enough they had a lot of my favorites in their collections. I eventually got bored of that and noticed Corey staring at me.

"May I ask why you're staring at me?"

"Is it a crime?"

"Don't answer my question with one of your own, and yes it is a crime."

"Why are you giving me so much attitude?"

"Well let's see you come and force me to come to Italy to see a bunch of ancient vampires that want to examine me. Plus you still haven't answered my question."

"You came quite willingly."

"I wasn't in the mood to struggle."

"Are you hungry Bella?"

Now that I thought about it I was extremely hungry. I could feel my veins calling for some refreshment.

"Yeah I guess I am."

He motioned for one of the flight attendants to bring us his special stash. I could only guess that meant he kept non-human blood on board. I was very glad he was a vegetarian like me. I still wonder why he chose that way to live, there's something about him that's so sad.

"Bella are you okay"

"Huh, yeah I'm fine"

"Oh just making sure. What were you just thinking about?"

"Nothing really"

"Bella are you ever going to tell me why those other vampires are chasing you."

Edward… I wonder how he's doing.

Edwards POV

The forest sped past us in a blur. We ran in a single fill, I in the middle and Alice bringing up the rear. Tripp was insanely fast, even compared to me. At times I'd lose sight of him completely and follow his scent until I could see him again.

It was weird. As soon as I told him that I could read minds, I could no longer hear his. It was as if he stopped thinking completely. I couldn't explain it but the sounds of his thoughts were gargled out as if his mind were drowning. Who was this Tripp character anyway with his large sword and incredible...power?

Suddenly as I sped through a thick bush, Tripp stood right on the other side, and I nearly slammed into him.

"HEY WHAT'S THE BIG -"

He raised one hand to stop me. Before I could respond Alice already by my side placed one hand on my shoulder.

"Tripp what's wrong?" she asked

"Shh" was thrown from over his shoulder.

Just then a bush nearby rustled and the air suddenly reeked of a scent too horrid too put into words.

Then out of the dense forest walls the trees spat a giant dog from its trunks. The mangy beast soared directly toward Tripp from behind.

"GET DOW-"

Sqqquuuueeeeeeaaaashhh

My eyes widened in horror as the blood splattered my clothes and face.

The giant werewolf laid upon the forest floor in two separate pieces.

Tripp's blade ripped through the beast like a hot knife through butter.

He didn't even blink.

Tripp landed lightly on the blood soaked earth. Holding in one hand his large double edged sword and in the other a curved more articulate blade which I've never seen before. He strapped his broad sword to his back and the curved one to a sheath on his waste that rested underneath his flowing black cloak.

"Two swords?" Alice's voice queried.

"Yea the other one..."

Indicating the curved one

"...was a gift from my wife."

"What happened to her?" she asked again

"...' Was murdered right in front of my eyes and I was too weak to do anything about it. Her name was Patricia so I named it thus."

And he stalked off back into the forest with his hood drawn upon his head. He faded effortlessly into the blackness. Only trail left behind was the faint glow of the crimson blood left upon his sword.

I can't believe I haven't even thought about Edward. I wonder if he's okay. I hope he is, I should've never left. Now he'll never find me.

"Bella?"

"Huh um not yet I'll tell you when we get there."

"Why do you have to be so mysterious?"

"Well I don't know anything about you. So that makes you mysterious as well."

"How about this if you tell me about why your running and what happened, I'll tell you a story about myself."

"Sounds fair."

"Well then do you still want to wait until we get to Italy that's going to take another 4 hours?'

UGH way too long, I might as well give in. Why does he care so much?

"Fine but you first."

PS. please review :)
