This is the first time I have ever written any form of action so please be kind. Feel free to tell me how I did, as kindly as possible please.
I own nothing. Stephanie Meyer does.
The vampire in front of us smiled maniacally as he looked us down. His eyes covered with black sunglasses.
"So nice to see you girls around here." His voice deep, and menacing.
"We've been hoping to catch up to one of you kids." The one behind us spoke his voice showing no emotion. His eyes black as coal.
"Follow us." The one with the deep voice ordered.
We were in a public place. We had no choice but to follow them. There weren't any other options. But I'm not going down without a fight. Carlie held on to me tighter as I did to her. She began to concoct a plan. Playing it for me, mentally. I feigned a lame attempt to escape. So that at least one of them would come in contact with me. Sure enough the quieter one behind us put a firm grip on my shoulder preventing me from walking away. The streets became empty, like the humans could sense the danger. We passed the truck, and continued into a dark alley behind a bar. As we became closer to the alley the vampires quickened their pace, urging us to do the same.
I looked into the quiet one's memories. Searching for his most painful one, the day he was changed into a vampire.
They pushed us into the furthest end of the alley. When the crazy one spoke quietly, "It's a shame."
He leaned closer to us, our backs against a wall. Carlie stared him down as he stroked her cheek and tried to do the same with me. But I bit him.
He snarled at me and tried to choke me but the one behind him urged him to stop.
"You are going to regret that." He spoke slowly, and directly at me.
He lunged at me, aiming for my neck. But I was quicker and dodged him. When he tried to go after me again Carlie got a hold of him and before he could register anything else he was writhing in pain on the floor as Carlie clouded him with some sort of painful vision using her gift and continued to tear him limb from limb, his screams echoing in the alley. I tried to help her by tearing his head off but the other vampire got a hold of me. I quickly focused on his worst memory, and just like the other vampire he began to scream. I tore his arms off first always keeping at least one hand on him. If I lost tactile contact with him the vision would stop. He screamed out one name, a girl's. Before I could make out what it was I had already ripped his head off. We quickly searched for anything to make a fire and found a large metal can, probably from some homeless guy. I searched the ground and found a single match. I quickly lit the can and we began to throw the limbs in as quickly as possible.
"NO!" A voice screamed behind us, and I pushed Carlie aside as she lunged for her. We all fell to the ground, and got back up in a rush.
A girl, with short blonde hair tried to attack us. I searched quickly for her worst memory. As I got a lock on one, strangely a human one, she lunged for me. I prepared to project the memory, just as Carlie prepared to lunge at her as well if necessary when a wolf appeared out of nowhere. He grabbed a hold of her neck with his teeth and shook her and slammed her against a wall. Henry and Luke appeared and continued to help him rip the vampire to shreds and throw her limbs into the metal can.
"Are you guys okay?" Luke asked as he took us in both into a hug.
"Yeah." Was all Carlie responded.
"We thought the worst when we didn't see you guys at the dress shop and caught the scent of those freaks." Henry told us as he turned to hug me as Embry hugged Carlie.
"Come on, we have to go. Your parents need to know about this." Embry grabbed Carlie's hand and pulled us toward the truck. Everyone rushed out the alley as inconspicuous as possible and always watching each other's back.
Sure enough my momma was waiting outside the house. I barely got out of the truck when she wrapped her arms around me into a bone-crushing hug.
"Oh honey! Are you okay?" She told me over and over as she looked me down. Searching for any form of injury, or scratch.
"I'm okay, don't worry, we're okay." I reassured her.
"Who did this? Did you recognize their scent?" My uncle Edward spoke directly at Embry as he continued to keep an arm around Bella who held on tightly to Carlie.
Jake was trembling with anger, just like Seth beside him. My uncles Emmett and Garrett were outside in the woods searching for any foreign scent along with my papa.
All of my family took turns hugging Carlie and me. My aunt Kate kissing my forehead multiple times and aunt Carmen reassuring me in Spanish that everything was going to be all right.
"Muchas gracias Tia Carmen." I thanked her in Spanish.
She kissed my forehead and soon enough my papa gave me the biggest hug just like my momma had before him.
"Don't ever scare me like that again." I just nodded in response.
"I looked into their past." I spoke loudly so that they could all hear.
"We should discuss this inside." My grandpapa spoke to us all.
We all gathered in the living room and I stayed in the middle to address them all.
"It was two males and a female. One male was only a few weeks old, the other much older. The female appeared to be days old. The older male and the female were mates. They were part of the newborn army."
"Do you remember anything else? Like who the leader was?" Jake asked.
"Don't rush her." My uncle Edward spoke next.
"No, it's alright. I just have to order all these memories. There is a lot going on. The older one was clearly going through something that was more important to him than just this army." I tried to look through all the memories as quickly as possible trying to find something that might be of importance.
"Maybe you should rest. You were startled. It's okay honey." My grandmamma spoke softly to me.
"Esme is right. Both of you should rest." My aunt Bella spoke to both Carlie and me now.
"I'm sorry, I should be of more help." I tried to apologize but my family reassured me that everything was going to be all right.
"I'll take you to your room." Seth offered.
My papa tried to protest but my momma stopped him and reassured me that they would be down soon to check on me. I smiled weakly at them and wished everyone a good night. They all smiled at my human remark.
"Are you sure your okay?" Seth asked me over and over.
"Yes. I'm sure." I told him annoyed. He ignores me and acts all moody and only snaps back to reality when I have a near death experience.
"I'm surprised you even care." I spoke quietly as I walked into my parents little house a little further out my grandparents big house.
He froze, and stayed in the doorstep as I walked towards my room. I walked into my closet and chose some warm pajamas my momma had just bought me earlier in the week. I quickly changed in the bathroom and brushed my hair. I thought Seth didn't even come in. But when I opened the bathroom door I found him sitting on my bed. He had already prepared it for me so all I had to do was just lie down and go to sleep.
"I guess I'll leave now." He turned to leave but I took a hold of his arm.
"Are you still my friend?" I asked him quietly. He didn't turn to face my right away. But when he did his eyes seemed sad. My question obviously hurt him.
"Did you ever doubt that?" He spoke softly.
"You have been avoiding me. You refuse to spend anytime with me."
"I'm so sorry." He finally spoke again.
I rush towards him and hug him. He smiled softly and then I smacked him on his arm.
"Ow!" He rubbed his arm as I began to lay down on my bed pulling the covers up to face.
"So are you going to lie down with me or not?" I asked him from beneath my covers.
He chuckled and laid on top of the covers.
"Go to sleep sweetheart." He spoke softly and my stomach began to do summersaults much like it did when we were outside the pizza place.
I turned to hug him and he placed an arm around me.
"I love you." He spoke softly as I slowly drifted off to sleep.
I smiled and responded with, "I love you too."
He had told me that many times before when I was younger. But I had never felt this way before when he told me that.
Did I truly love him? Did he truly love me?
I sure hope so.
