Chapter 19
Ness POV
I sprinted through the forest, having to leap to the side to avoid trees several times. Ahead of me was my family running at top speed whilst following the scent trail of Camille and Will. I pushed myself to go faster, but an image of Camille's pained face kept up rising in my mind.
~Flashback~
I giggled as Rose and Camille entered the school. Now it was our turn to be ogled at. Dad sighed and pulled Mum into his arms, clearly showing that they were both taken. Jake held out his arms, I went to then and he picked me up and kissed me passionately. Someone cleared their throat and we broke apart to see Mum roll her eyes and dad shoot evils at Jake. I looked over to see Jasper and Alice sitting on the bonnet of the Porsche, staring deeply into each other's eyes. Emmett on the other hand was busy showing off his muscles to gob-smacked girls.
My head lifted up as I heard the panicked pounding of feet. Camille ran through the school entrance. At first I wondered why she had come back, but then she looked at us.
I knew straight away that something was wrong. Her hair was untamed, her curls were blowing around her face crazily and they were no longer a bright, bouncy red but a blood red. Her eyes were wild, a deep sea of silver and grey. Pain was laced through them, along with more primitive emotions.
Beside me I heard dad growl, but before the rest of us could react she ran off and out into the forest. By then all of us had gathered around Dad, asking him silently to explain.
He just stormed off. We jogged to keep up with him. Jasper jumped in front of him and restrained him.
"What happened?" He hissed.
Dad glared angrily "Will" he practically spat. Jasper immediately let go and they both ran inside. The rest of us looked at each other wordlessly confirming what he had just said. We skidded into the main reception to see Rose, Jasper and Dad blocking the way of a boy, Will.
"Why are you doing this?" Will asked frustratedly.
"Believe me, you have no idea what you have just done" Rose hissed venomously. Emmett, Jake, Seth and Alice joined them making an even bigger barrier. Mum and I went up behind him, forming at circle around Will. He might have been taller than some of us but we seemed more imposing because of our pale skin and our glaring eyes, yet Will didn't seem scared at all. He raised himself to his full height
"Let Me Through!" He yelled. Everyone's faces grew stonier, including mine. I don't know why I was acting like this, I just felt really protective over Camille and angry at Will.
Our circle became tighter, and Will turned around and tried to shove himself out of it but he was just pushed back forcefully, he stumbled and fell onto Jasper and Emmett who grabbed him in their strong arms. Will looked up to meet our hate-filled gaze. His expression shocked me, any normal person would be terrified but Will had placed his features into a chilling poker face.
"If you know what's best for you, you'll let me go." He said his voice icy. Emmett scoffed.
"You keep thinking that." I heard the words coming out of my mouth but I hadn't controlled them.
"Let him go" A throaty, yet strong voice came from behind us. It swept over us like a wave and all of a sudden the immense anger had gone replaced by a kind of awed trance. I looked to see where the voice had come from, a girl stepped out of the shadows, and I gasped.
Her skin was tanned and had a bronzy glow to it, she had large bullet silver/blue eyes, a wide mouth, Cheek bones that could cut glass and black wavy hair that shone in the light. She was an exact replica of Will but in female form. She must be his twin, yes that makes sense I thought as I studied her face, as she turned to look at me I noticed another similarity to Will. She too had a tattoo running from the side of her eyebrow to her cheek bone, but as I looked at the two tattoos I noticed a difference, on the mysterious twin, instead of a vine intertwined with rope it was a orange and blue exotic looking flower, (Pic on profile) and Will's tattoo was on his left but this girl's was on her right.
I watched as she went up to Will and helped him up –Emmett and Jasper had dropped him on the floor. She was unnerving to look at because although her features were beautiful, put together they just seemed eerie, she was neither ugly or beautiful but could never be described as average. In fact she was both ugly and beautiful and had that look of light and dark in her. But there was one thing that was certain with her, she looked incredibly powerful. As she pulled him up she murmured inaudibly, he nodded and left. But when he was at the door he turned back to his sister and mouthed 'thank you', then he disappeared. Outside we could here an engine being started.
The girl turned to face us. She watched us with those strange bullet eyes, that looked so much like Will's but also looked so different. His were glistening with a joking spark to them, but hers were ghostly and utterly spine-chilling.
We stood there transfixed for several minutes before she blinked and we were released from that strange trance-like feeling.
"Go." She told us simply before disappearing into the shadows again.
~End flashback~
Shook my head, trying to clear it. The other were far out in front of me, running too fast for me to keep up. I internally yelled Why can't I be faster?! As if answering my thought a motorbike came up from behind me, on it was Will's sister. She held a hand out and pulled me onto the back of the motorbike. I clung tightly onto her waist, just a bit shocked about what had just happened.
"Where did you get this from?" I managed to yell over the noise.
"I nicked it off a random student" She yelled back, swerving to avoid another tree. Riding with her was like being on a rollercoaster, veering from side to side to avoid the trees, we even got whacked by a few branches and twigs. Suddenly, she twisted the bike so it went up a bank(the hill thing, not the money thing).
"What are you doing? There others went the other way!" I yelled through my hair which was flying around my face wildly.
"Short-cut!" She yelled back. We raced through a obstacle course of trees, Remind yourself never to ride a motorbike through this forest. I thought as we narrowly missed a log. Just as I thought this I had to duck to dodge a branch.
"Hold on tight, and cover your face!" Will's sister yelled at me.
"Wha-" I started but then I saw the route she was planning to take. Bloody Hell. Was all I thought before the motorbike raced through a tight tangle off branches, trees and bushes. We had to turn so tightly sometimes that our hair almost touched to floor.
Finally, we skidded onto the edge of the bank, out of the web of plants and trees. I felt my heart almost stop as we slid towards the drop, but Will's sister put her foot down at the last minute and we stopped about 30 centimetres from the edge, but before I could react we zoomed off again. I could feel the sting off a few cuts on my arms, legs and face. Down below us was the rest of my family running at top speed. They reminded me a bit of a pack of wolves, hanging around with the werewolves must have rubbed off. (They are running in a pack like they do in Blood and Chocolates).
In the midst of them were Jake and Seth, in wolf form only managing to keep up because of their long legs. I turned my attention back to our route and noticed something strange. A few metres a head of us it just dropped suddenly. I frowned What are we gunna do now? But then it was made clear as the motorbike sped up, flying towards the drop.
But then we were in the air, flying through the trees, however we started go down rapidly and we landed with a thunk that jolted my spine. I looked behind me to see the startled faces of my family.
Dad ran up beside me and lifted me off the motorbike and swung me onto his back. Soon the scent of Camille and Will was very strong. We slowed down to a quick walk and entered a clearing expecting the worst.
We were not wrong.
To one side there lay Will, his body completely lank and his face pale and lifeless, on his neck a crescent moon shaped wound. In the corner of the clearing, against a tree was Camille. She had curled herself into a ball, her head against her knees, and her whole body was shaking with tearless sobs. She lifted her head to look at us, her expression was so full of pain that it was almost unbearable to watch but what was the most awful was her eyes. There were a deep crimson, the colour of blood.
"I-I…k-kil-killed..him" She sobbed. Alice and Rose ran up to her and hugged her.
"It doesn't matter, everyone has their slip ups." They told her reassuringly.
Camille just shook her head "But- non-none…off you- ha-have ever-killed- like this!" She sobbed even harder.
"If-if only-I-wasn't- s-so…weak" This was greeted by noises of disagreement.
"You were never weak. You did really well to last that long." Camille just sniffed.
But then the strangest thing happened. A soft white light started to surround Camille. I was like she had a shield of light around her. She looked around confused. But then the light grew stronger and Rose and Alice were thrown backwards by some invisible force. Camille started to rise gracefully into the air, as if she were a doll and someone had picked her up. Her arms were stretched behind her like wings and her head was thrown back. Her hair splayed out around her as if she were underwater and her eyes were closed. I looked around, confused, it was then that I noticed that Will also was suspended in the air, facing Camille, however his head was flopped to the side and his arms were limp by his side.
Camille opened her mouth slightly as if she was going to breathe in, but instead she exhaled and a long trail of red liquid left her mouth, it was blood. It glistened in the pale sunlight as a glowing silver line suddenly linked Will and Camille together, the blood made its way over to Will's body, reminding me of a snake.
We stood, rooted to the spot, as we watched the blood enter Will mouth. He gradually began to gain some colour in his skin and his body became less motionless. The white light grew stronger and stronger, until you couldn't see the two figures inside of them and we had to cover our eyes.
Then the light abruptly disappeared and Camille and Will were dropped onto the floor.
Will slowly sat up, a little bit dazed but completely full of life.
"Well, that was unexpected."
Yay! Will is ALIVE!!!!!! Um…..yeah. I might not be able to upload the next chap, once I have written it, for a while because I am going to Denmark! Woohoo! And we don't have internet connection up there so I can't get onto FanFic.
