Chapter 11: The Clearing
The Clearing
It only took a few words to convince most of my family's friends to return to forks once more. This time ready for what lies ahead for them, some more willing than others, but ready for the Volturis' reign of injustice to be over with. For some the news of what I had done shocked them but after explaining or rather showing what really happen like the rest they were proud of how I withheld the urge that most would have had.
Alice yet again had that vision of everyone in the Clearing again this time clearer than before, it was only two days away and the plans for my safety were underway. I was to stay in the back of the clearing with the wolfs they would be the best to protect me, I was original told that I was going to have to be hidden but I refused and demanded that I be there. With some reluctance they agreed but I was to stay out of the way. But if anything was to go wrong, Jacob was ordered by my parents to take me and run. They would kill this Demetri guy, the Volturi tracker so that they could not find me if something were to go wrong and we did not win.
The day of the fight you would have thought to be a rainy normal crappie day in Forks, but it wasn't it was sunny and not a cloud in the shy for miles. If we were going to die today at least it was a beautiful day. Dad didn't like that thought too much and yelled at me to go hang with Jake and Leah till it was time. Which I had no problem with; I wanted to spend what time I had left with him I loved him to much to want to spend it away from him. I spent almost all morning with them only leaving to be with my mother when Alice told us we had about an hour left. All of my parents friends had gathered in the clearing to fight with us at about that same time, everyone was talking about the fight and what would happen, saying their thanks and good-byes just in case. Mom and Dad only stared at each other, but I knew that they were saying their own special good- byes. This reminded me so much of the last encounter we had with the Volturi seven years ago.
It was then that we first heard the foot- steps.
