The wind against my face, the speed of the run. It was my favorite part of the hunt. The wind shifted and I caught the scent of a mountain lion up the hill. I leaped into a tree to get a view from above. I saw him and landed without a sound. I crept like a tiger, behind the brush. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzp. My phone buzzed in my pocket. The loin turned and ran. I let out a growl and started running after it. I caught up to it and tackled it. I brought my mouth to its throat and let my instincts take care of the rest. The feeling of the blood rushing through my lips and the satisfaction in my dead, cold heart. I repeated the process with an other mountain lion. I felt full and decided to start my way back. I met my family at the clearing at the bottom of the mountain. We had gone to the same park as always. As soon as I walked into the clearing a million thoughts ran at me.
Alice: Edward, my phone went off and I had a vision of Charlie running up to the Black's house in a panic.
Emmett: maaaannnn. The grizzly didn't even fight back. It's no fun when they don't get mad!
Jasper: Why is Alice feeling panic and worry. We're just hunting. Did she had a vision? Why won't she tell me?
Rosalie: It took Edward long enough. I have to get back and fix my hair.
"Hey Alice, who called your phone?" I asked her and we opened our phones at the same time. a confused look came to my face when the caller I.D. said Jacob. I started speeding to the car. "Hurry up!" I yelled. They ran to the car and piled in. All their thoughts were confused and slightly annoyed. "Why would Jacob call Alice and I unless something had gone wrong." I explained. They all understood and their minds went silent so their thoughts wouldn't upset me any more. I zoomed passed our house and they all looked at me in worry. "Screw the treaty! It's not like we have done anything wrong in the years that we've lived here! Plus, its an emergency!" I argued. We pulled into the Black's driveway and I was out and running to the door before any of my other family members. I was at the door and was knocking with as much control as possible. I was so close to breaking down the door. The rest of the family was staying behind me. I was getting impatient when the door knob started to turn. It had to be Jacob since I didn't hear any foot steps. The door opened and the annoying dog loomed over me. It really annoyed me that he was taller than me. I looked at his face and it was covered in worry and frustration.
"Come on, we should take this to the woods. Sam isn't going to be happy you're hear and will want to keep an eye on you." He said as he walked past me towards the woods. As soon as we're both in the shadows of the woods, he swung around. "Before you kill me, let me explain. Bella knows I'm a werewolf and she doesn't mind. I went to tell Sam that it had gone well. I came back and she was gone. I ran after her scent but there were too many of them to take on by myself and that's when I called you. Sam knows that you would cross the border. He doesn't like it very much, but he won't bother you. I'm really sorry I let you down. Because they're werewolves, they wont kill her. I still want to find her quickly though." I could tell he wasn't lying. He had pictures of Bella running through his mind. He was getting more frightened every second. It amazed me how close his thoughts were to mine.
"It will be all right. We'll just have to follow their scent until we find them. I highly doubt that they will expect a coven of vampires to show up so they won't be prepared. Even if they don't kill her, I want to know why they took her." I said with a new found confidence. If the werewolves were going to help then we would find her in no time. I hoped.
We searched for the rest of the day and finally found their trail. They had gone to the airport.
Alice: I'll check out the surveillance cameras. Once I find out which plane they got on I'll call you.
I nodded in agreement. As Jasper and I were walking around, looking for Bella's scent, a new thought came over me.
"Edward! Calm down. What ever is scaring you this much probably didn't and isn't going to happen." Even though he was sending waves of calm over me, I was scared out of my wits. What if Bella was taken and was going to be raped or sold! All I knew was that Alice better call soon or there is going to be a freak show with a teenager bursting through walls. Then as if she heard my screaming thoughts, my phone rang.
"Hello."
"They got on a plane going to……… Vollterra, Italy." She said in the smallest voice. It was a good thing that we were so close to the exit cause I ran through those doors and almost roared. I got control of myself just in time. There were a lot more people than I thought out here. I walked back in, at a fast human pace, straight up to a ticket counter and asked for seven tickets for the next plane leaving for Vollterra. She was hesitant until I slapped a one thousand dollar bill on the counter.
"I'm in a really big rush. You can keep all the change if you get me and my family on the next flight." She looked at me like I was crazy but I wasn't worried about it. She handed me the tickets but didn't take her eyes off my face. Maybe Bella was right. Maybe I do dazzle people.
We lined up at the gate and got on the plane. I was no where calm enough to be sitting here for countless hours but I had no choice. I blocked all the thoughts from my head, put my head back and pretended to sleep, just letting my mind wander while I paid no attention to it. Bella needed me and crashing the plane or taking it over wasn't going to help. I would just have to wait for the plane to land then I would find Bella and punish those who took her from me.
After eight excruciating hours of flying and listening to Alice's meaningless visions about a boy eating ice-cream, I was willingly ready to push through the crowds and get to the car. But, of course, things just can't go the way I want them to. I would have known it was coming too if i was paying attention to the thoughts whirling around my head.
We walk out of the gate and i stop in my tracks. Frantic, i try to think of a way to get around them but thay have us surrounded.
