A/N: Hi! Sorry to make the last chapter so short! And this one might be shorter still, because I'm going on vacation and I won't have access to a computer with Internet much! So, on with the Disclaimers!
Me: I don't own notion'.
Mike: Wow MW, that was uncharacteristically frank for you.
Me: Yeah… I haven't done anything Twilight related for a whole hour now, and I think I'm suffering withdraw.
Mike: …
Me: …
Mike: Can we get back to the story now?
Me: Sure.
Jennifer's POV
That's when I screamed. I bolted into the house, tackling the phone in my mad rush, and fumbled with the keys until I had successfully dialed 911.
"This is the Forks Police Department, how can I help you?" What?! No emergency service line!? This town really was a hole.
"Yes, I'm calling from the Newton residence, and my aunt disappeared and I think I saw a murderer." My words where coming out in a twisted jumble, I could barely understand them.
"Calm down, now we'll come over and check it out. Did you in fact find a body?" The man on the other end sounded skeptical.
"Why the hell would I go check?! There's a monster in there!" I screeched.
"What did this monster look like?"
"I only saw eyes, but they didn't look human." My heart execrated as I remembered those cold, unearthly eyes.
"What color?"
Uh-oh. Would he really believe the truth? "Uh, I didn't see the color. Sorry."
"That's all right, I think I already know what our culprit is. Just stay inside and make sure no one else leaves the house, understand?"
"mm-hm…I understand." Yeah, I was just about to go out for a nature hike.
I hung up, and sat down on the couch. What had just happened? What did the officer mean by, "I think I know what the culprit is? I closed my eyes and leaned back , trying to relax myself. Panicking was not going to help. Just as long as I stayed inside, whatever was out there wouldn't get me…right?
"I'm sorry you had to see that," and icy voice murmured, "I was thirsty, and I simply had to have a drink before coming to see you."
My eyes snapped open and met with the two ruby-red eyes that I was just hoping to avoid.
Mike's POV
Admist my worries, I spotted someone walking along the side of the road, more like running, actually.
"Mom?!" I gasped, turning to Dani to tell her to stop the car, but she was already one step ahead of me. She came to a stop next to my panting mother, and I rolled down my window to talk to her.
"Mom! What are you doing all the way out here?! I thought you where still at home! I-
She held up a finger and caught her breath. "Mike, do you have a phone?"
"Yeah, but mom-
"Call the police, there was another wolf attack." My jaw dropped when she said this.
"How do you-
"I'll tell you, just let me breath." Another breath, and then she began. "I was out gardening when my umbrella blew into the woods, as I went to go get it, I heard something. It sounded like someone was walking, so I went to go see who it was. There was a howl… running… and then I stumbled upon the body of a hiker."
I felt my face grow cold as she continued, " I panicked, and started running in the direction I thought where our house was… but as you can see I guessed wrong. Now that I think about it I'll call, I think I'll be able to explain it better than you can."
I held out my phone to her and she grabbed it and immediately started dialing. I turned back to Dani, about to ask her what we would do when I stopped. Her face was iced over, but worse of all, completely expressionless.
"Dani…Dani! What's wrong?" I grasped her hand, just wanting her to speak.
She shook her head, "I'll explain it to you later. But first, we better drive your mom back to your house."
"Dani, can you give me a brief explanation about what just happened?" I didn't want to be left out of the loop.
"Let's just say your mother is lucky to get out of there with her blood still in her veins." As she said this, I looked back over to my mother, suddenly fearful. That dead body…that could have been her. Suddenly the danger Dani had told me of just a week ago, seemed all too real.
My mind was suddenly playing through different scenarios of what could of happened, all ending in tragedy. I was so consumed by the possibilities, I barely noticed when we started to move forward, and back to my home.
The only thing I was fully aware of was that there was something beastly stalking Forks.
Jennifer's POV
"Who are you?" I squeaked, almost losing my voice I was so terrified.
"Why, don't you recognize me?" the creature chuckled, "I'll give you a hint; I'm your boyfriend."
I felt my eyes widen, "Cedric?"
"I was meaning to tell you sooner or later." He smirked, " About my diet and all, most people tend to see it as… repelling."
I didn't move. I could barely even breath, this wasn't happening, it wasn't.
"Aw, look at you, your speechless." He leaned in closer, "Don't worry pet, I won't harm you. At least, not now."
I stumbled away from him, falling to the floor. "Get away from me…your not Cedric."
He straitened up, clicking his tongue. "That's a pity, I come all the way over here, just for you to reject me."
He was next to me in a flash, "Are you sure you don't want to think about this twice?"
His smirk stretched into a gut-wrenching teeth-bearing sneer. I shrunk against the carpet, he was so different then how he was before. I used to marvel at his beauty, and attracted to the impression of strength and superiority he left. Now, his beauty was sickening, unnatural, and the strength and superiority that he held before was frightening.
"I'll take the scilence as a yes." He snickered, and suddenly his head whipped to the side towards the main hallway. "It looks like your friends are here. I guess we'll have to wait until later to continue."
Within a blink of an eye, he was gone. I slowly sat up, dazed, and I barly noticed Mike rushing over next to me and asking if I was alright.
Now that was chapter eleven! I'll update as soon as I can! Please reveiw!
