Sorry for the short chapter, there has been two deaths in my family and I'm just very distracted, but I don't want to let my readers down, so here is something. Thank you all who read this and leave comments, I read everyone! Thank you!
They walked in unison, like a trained patrol group. The man in the middle had dark chocolate skin, and hair the color of coal. The man on the right of the other was taller, and he had dirty blonde hair. There was also a woman, she walked briskly, like a cat, and she had long hair the color of fire. It wasn't until they were extremely close when I notice the most striking thing about them, their eyes. Like the Cullen's their eye color was inhuman, but unlike the Cullen's their eyes weren't liquid gold, but a deep crimson red. I held back a gasp, I knew at that moment that these were "real" vampires; vampires who feed on the blood of humans, and not the blood of animals. The dark vampire held the baseball in his hand, and tossed it to Esme.
"I believe this is yours?" he asked. Esme smiled and nodded.
"Yes, thank you."
"I am Laurent, and this is James and Victoria," he said motioning to the others.
"I'm Esme, and this is my family." The red head cocked her head to the side, and spoke.
"We were just passing through when we heard you playing; thought maybe you'd like a few more players." Her voice was odd; it was like a child's, a spoiled little girl's voice, which did not belong to someone who appeared to be in her late teens' or early twenties.
"I'm sorry but we were just leaving," Esme said smoothly. I clanged closer to Eliza as I noticed the blonde staring at me.
"Aw, come on. Just one game?" Laurent said. Esme sighed, and then looked at Eliza and I.
"Alright, a few of us were just leaving, you can take their place." The three strange vampires smiled. Eliza began to walk me towards the cars when a gust of wind blew through me. Eliza snarled like a lion as James took in my scent.
"How nice, you brought a snack," he said laughing. Eliza instantly put herself in front of me. The others shielded me too as the three strangers ready themselves to pounce.
"The boy is with us," Esme screeched. The three strangers looked at her as if she was insane.
"Impossible," James said through his teeth, "you're just keeping him for yourselves." Eliza hissed again. Laurent put a hand on James' shoulder to try to calm him down, but James threw it aside. Laurent looked at Esme and began to walk away, James and Victoria followed.
"I can see that they game is over, we'll go now," but James stopped and stared at me. "James, we're out numbered, let's go." Laurent begged. James looked at each of the Cullen's and hissed in anger. He then joined Victoria, kissing her hair. They looked at us again, James taking in a large breath and giving me a sinister smile, before disappearing into the forest.
"Eliza get Ben out of here." Carlisle said while scanning the forest. Eliza grabbed my arms and began to drag me to a jeep. She threw open the passenger side door, put me in, buckled my seatbelt, and got into the driver's seat. She put the car into drive and began to speed down the bumpy road. I held on tight and looked at her face. The terror that was plastered on let me know that something very bad had happen and whatever it was, it had just started!
