18. When a game turns ugly.

To say the baseball game was interesting would be putting it lightly. I understood now why they needed the thunder. Whenever one of them went up to bat it would sound like thunder when the bat met the ball. The first time it happened I had to put my hand over my ears. I really had not been expecting that. After the initial shock I had gotten in to the game. Since I couldn't play in the actual game I got to watch and say when someone was out or not, though it wasn't exactly fun when I had told Rosalie out. For a second I really thought that he may decide to have me for lunch and I was relieved when she had backed off thanks to Carlisle. He had wanted to keep the game friendly and other than for that one incident things seemed to be going great.

One of my favorite moments so far had to be when Edward and Emmett were both going after the ball Carlisle hit and they were not looking where they were going so they ended up smacking in to each other. Esme and I laughed so hard eventually they started laughing as well. The game seemed to be going so well and then everything changed for the worse. Alice who was pitching suddenly froze before whirling around to stare at the fog in the distance as if she were expecting something or better yet expecting someone.

"Stop!" She cried out and suddenly all of the Cullen's were around home base. I wanted to ask what was going on, but I thought it would be better to keep quiet for the time being. "They were leaving, but then they heard us playing and decided to come see what was going on."

"We have to go." Edward said in a panic as he grabbed my hand and started to lead me to Emmett's jeep.

Carlisle shook his head as he came to stand in front of us blocking our path. "It is much too late for that."

"Get your hair down." My boyfriend told me and I quickly did as instructed. I made sure my hair was down. I had no idea what was going on, but I knew that I should listen to whatever they told me to do.

Rosalie scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Like that is going to help I can smell her across the field."

"Remember the others we talked about?" Edward questioned and I nodded. "You are about to meet some of them so just stay behind me and don't say anything. Keep your eyes down and try not to move around a lot because if you do that will cause your scent to spread and we don't want that."

I nodded again and that is when I saw them. It wasn't hard to tell that they were vampires. The pale skin, red eyes, and otherwise almost perfect appearance were a big tip off. There were three of them two males and one female. The female stood on the far right. She had hair like fire and a smirk which reminded me of the Cheshire cat from Alice and wonderland. The male on the far left had darker skin and braided hair. His red eyes were full of curiosity. Out of the three of them he seemed to be the friendliest or at the very least the least terrifying. The second male stood in the center and he just seemed off. He had blond hair that fell down around his shoulders and a calculating look in his eyes. The one in the middle gave me the creeps.

I noticed Carlisle was talking to the man with the darker skin who was acting as the leader though it was pretty obvious the blond was in charge. He just had the looks of a leader. Carlisle had invited them to join in on the game and I knew he was trying to give Edward and me a way out. It appeared as if we would be in the all clear soon. Or that is what I hoped anyways.

It must not have been my lucky day because just as I turned around to walk away the wind blew and wouldn't you know it? The wind blew my scent directly in the direction of the blond. His eyes narrowed as he took a big whiff before turning to us with a smile. "It looks as if you brought a snack."

It all happened so fast that I barely had time to comprehend what happened. Edward had shoved me behind him when James lunged forward and the other Cullen's quickly flanked his sides. Everyone was snarling and the dark skinned one was speaking with Carlisle again, but I couldn't make out what they were saying. Fear had my heart pounding in my chest and in my ears.

"The girl is with us." The doctor said as he glanced at me before turning his attention back over to the other vampires. "I think it would be best if you leave."

The dark skinned one nodded in agreement as they turned to leave and Edward had me in Emmett's jeep before I could say anything. He was driving like a mad man and it was starting to scare me. When he spoke my terror only grew. "James is a tracker and my reaction in the field is what set him off. He thinks that this is going to be the most exciting game ever. I have to get you out of here and fast."

Finally I felt as if I could form words. My first thoughts were for my family. "Edward we can't just leave. I know that you want to keep me safe and that means a lot to me, but we can't leave my family alone. What if he goes after them and there is nobody here to keep them safe? We can figure this out together, but I won't leave until I know my family is safe and yours as well."
