Rising Revolution
ALMOST 200 REVIEWS!? You guys are incredible!
(Alaska's POV)
I walked down the stairs cheerfully, I made the best of being with the Cullen's, it was actually a lot of fun and I tried to hide the fact that I cried into my pillow every night but I don't think it worked because I know they could hear me. My cheerful expression left my face the minute I saw everyone's face, they seemed very seldom.
"What's wrong?" I asked, automatically.
"It's time. They're about to start, Karol and her minions are only 10 minutes away." Alice answered softly.
I was worried but also angry so I let the anger take over, it is an easier emotion to deal with. "And why didn't anyone wake me?! I could've told them all goodbye and not to get hurt I could've told them so much more and I was just sleeping!"
Alice spoke again, "it wasn't planned or we would have, Seth and all the other guys had to phase on a moments notice. No one got a goodbye, it wasn't just you."
"Oh."
I sat on the couch and pulled my knees to my chest, Esme cautiously sat beside me and pulled my into her arms. I turned my head into her cold hard chest and let my hair fall in my eyes before crying into her. Esme tried shushing me and pushed my hair back, I could tell that if she could cry she would be too.
"It's starting." Alice announced. I pulled away from Esme but still sat close to her as we all watched and listened to Alice anxiously. "They didn't waste anytime, all her newborns attacked immediately." I sucked in a breath, "newborns are going down fast," Alice sighed in relief, making all of us relax as well.
Alice suddenly tensed up again, "Alice what's wrong?" Carlisle asked, coming over and trying to shake Alice out of her daze, suddenly her eyes fell on mine.
"Something's wrong," she announced.
My eyes grew wide and my heart beat picked up, all of my wolves faces flashed through my head and I began to panic, "Someone's here. There's two. Coming west," suddenly Carlisle, Alice, and Emmett all spoke in fast voices that merely sounded like a murmer to me, they all looked at Esme and she nodded before they vanished.
"What's going on!?"
Esme tried calming me down but I stood and began pacing, pulling at the ends of my hair frantically, "there is only two Alaska, they can handle it," she tried consoling me, but I couldn't handle it. I knew that she was worried too because despite being a vampire even I could pick up on her nervous tendencies.
Suddenly a loud bang in the garage startled me and I jumped back. Esme stood and looked around, I had never seen her look so.. vampire-ish. "Alaska if I tell you to run go as far as you can, don't stop." she said, deadly quiet and serious. "I'll try to hold them off and kill them but when it turns ugly..." she trailed off, glancing at me while I nodded shakily.
Suddenly the loud sound shifted to the kitchen. Esme hissed loudly and pulled me roughly behind her.
Next another loud sound from up the stairs, and Esme turned in that direction keeping me behind her.
I clenched my eyes shut, a cowardice thing to do I know, but I couldn't help it. Suddenly the wind shifted from behind me and I clenched my eyes shut tighter, Esme spun around again but this time her hisses were more fierce and animalistic. "What do you want?" she deadpanned to the person I still had yet to see.
A satanic like sound laughed and I immediately opened my eyes to see the man right in front of Esme I immediately backed away, this was the first time I had seen red eyes like that in a long time. "I want her of course."
Esme growled and threw herself at the man they both went flying back into a wall and I whimpered and threw myself under a table, "but why what has she done to you?!" Esme said, she was still being the Esme I came to know, trying to convince someone rather than fight.
"Absolutely nothing," the man said, as if he was really rethinking killing me. He stared into my eyes for what seemed like an eternity before looking back at Esme, "i'm only following orders, and she must be killed,"
And that's when all hell broke loose.
The man threw himself at Esme and she backed away a second to quick before tackling him, she slammed him into a another wall and it came crashing down on both of them, I forced my hand over my mouth to keep from screaming before backing further under the table.
When the dust finally settled I could see them again, but only for bits and pieces because when they moved at vampire speed it was nothing but a blur. I watched as they slammed each other around, the sounds like a massive hurricane ripping through a city. Suddenly everything slowed down and Esme was on top of the man, she started ripping his head away from his shoulders, he cried out and I turned away - it was all to brutal, but I couldn't stop the feeling of wanting to cheer.
Suddenly the man laughed in the Satanic way again and bit into Esme's arm which made her hiss in pain and falter, when she did he took the opportunity to grab her head and slam it into the concrete wall.
"Esme!" I screamed frantically.
Esme looked at me as her head began getting ripped from her shoulders and right before the life drained from her face I saw her word. "run." I considered her request but knew I couldn't just run and leave her, so I took a hard piece of steel and threw it at the man. He cried out in pain as it stuck in his back, I knew it wouldn't kill him but it would buy me some time, and maybe he would leave Esme's lifeless body.
I ran out of the house and straight into the woods, I didn't look back just kept running forcing the memory of Esme's life ending out of my head, my vision was blurred as I was crying but I kept running. Suddenly I gasped when I reached the side of a cliff, I screamed there was no where else I could go.
I turned around when I heard the sound of someone behind me, there stood the man with a smirk on his face. He started to talk but I couldn't handle it, I wasn't going to let him talk and scare the crap out of me then slowly kill me. No if I was going to die I might as well do it now. Before he could say anything I turned and jumped off the side of the cliff.
I could hear my heart beat in my ears as I flew down the side of the mountain.
. .
I know you're supposed to see your life flash before your eyes but I didn't, all I could think of in my last moments was the impeding ground below.
Finally I made contact with the ground, I expected it to be painful but I only felt numb. My head bounced against the hard rock and I heard popping which I knew wasn't natural. I was on my back and I could see the cliff I just jumped from above, I heard the man cry out in pain and I knew he was about to die which gave me pleasure I smiled slightly and the only thing left was to listen to my heartbeat as it slowly came to a stop.
Beat. Beat. Beat. Beat.
My eyes closed.
Beat. Beat.
I felt myself go limp.
Beat.
I completely let everything go, my last thought of Seth and all of our memories. I could see his face as he leaned in to kiss me, his body as it ran down first beach chasing after me, I could smell his body as it engulfed into his arms, I could hear the sound of his deep rumbly voice as it spoke to me late at night, lulling me to sleep. I could only hope he would move on without me. Find someone new, have a family.
My heart stopped and I knew I was dead. It was finally over, just not in the way I wanted it to. I guess we don't all get what we want though, better myself than one of my family members.
Wait how can I have all these thoughts if I'm dead? Is this heaven? Or hell?
Sure feels like hell to me.
Hang in there! One more chapter, then the epilogue! Crazy right?
