Chapter 21 Final Dance
Alexandra was inches from my neck until suddenly she was cut off. One second she was about to slash my throat, the next she was flying across the room where she slammed against a wall. I gazed with relief and horror as a huge, slick black wolf stood crouched in attack mode in front of me. He turned to observe my injuries. Seeing my ripped shoulder and limp leg, he snarled his teeth in Alexandra's direction. She just glared back in disgust. I forced myself to scream but all that came out was a whisper. Close to him I whispered,"Shawn, what are you doing? Get out now while you still can."
He glared at me now. Shaking his head to answer me. I continued anyway. "Get out now. This is my battle and if I die it will be after I see the corpse of Alexandra. Please one of us has to survive and that's going to be you!"
He continued shaking his head baring his teeth even wider. I got up feeling the pain of my cracked leg as I did so. Alexandra got up at the same time I did. Only difference was she had a smirk across her face and made one of the most unbelievable remarks that really fed to my fury.
"My my. So this is the famous little puppy I've heard so much about. You've come at the most delightful of times. I do hope that you don't intend to kill me because you'll be dead before you even lay a scratch on me. Come and see Elizabeth, as I kill you beloved dog right before your eyes. And when I'm done with him, you will follow him in his footsteps." She smirked again, her eyes twinkling.
"Shut up!" I launched myself at her. Too slow to get close enough, Shawn blocked her from attacking me from the back. She was a flash all of a sudden. My body reacted quickly and never felt more sure were she would attack. I pushed Shawn out of the way. Unfortunately Alexandra scratched her claws on my back. I screamed in agony.
Shawn jumped and bit her hard in the shoulder. She screamed as well. Quickly she dug her nails into Shawn's shoulder as well. He yelped and went flying across the room were he slammed against a mirror which broke into a million little shards. I tried to attack Alexandra but she reacted quicker than me and punched me in the stomach. There was no air in me and I felt like I wanted to throw up. My knees fell hard against the ground. Alexandra took advantage of my disability to grab Shawn by the neck. He was yelping and gasping for air as he kicked around trying to release her hand. She smiled a sinister, evil smile as she spoke.
"I was wrong dog you got lucky enough to bite my shoulder. Let alone make me bleed from it. I never knew how truly powerful a werewolf could be. Thanks for letting me know since that little girl didn't help much at all. Though I must say her anger towards vampires shadowed her eyes therefore giving me the advantage. Pity how this must end this way. And you were so cute. Bye bye darling."
With that said she bit him on the neck and pierced her hand into his stomach. My life was then thrown across the room as a lifeless corpse of what used to be. I felt nauseous and empty. My body went into a deep shock and trance that I could break free of. Or maybe because I didn't want to break free of it.
A wicked laugh suddenly filled the room. I sensed her inches from my body, but I wasn't sure in which direction. Alexandra started with the remarks again," That was probably the most fun I've had in ages! Too bad it ended so soon. Oh well, my dear little Eli and he was such a good looking young man too. It was his misfortune that he stayed with you and fought to protect you! If he hadn't gotten in the way maybe he would have lived. Pity that he died a meaningless death for someone so useless and unnecessary in this world. Now then where was I before I was so rudely interrupted. Let's see...ahhhh now I remember!"
She grabbed my by the throat as well. I was too numb to feel anything at this point. My life was now useless and unnecessary as Alexandra clearly put it and what's the point of living if there is nothing to live for? I just stared at her and awaited my death. She, however, like all villains has to brag before the final blow. Waiting for the end to finally happen, I start thinking of how much better everyone's lives would be. Eventually they'll get on with their lives and forget everything that has happened to them because of me. It would be as if I never existed.
She was finished with her ranting on how superior and powerful she was. And how I could never and was never a match for her in the beginning. Right as she was going to pierce her hand through my chest, I landed on the floor with a hard thud. "What just happened?" I asked myself out loud.
"You are getting saved," answered a familiar voice from behind. I turned to see that it was none other than Edward. I had a puzzled look on my face and was going to ask what he was doing. He answered before I could even ask,"Right now is not the time for questions Eli. Here." He threw me a lighter and I immediately knew what to do.
"I'll wait for your signal then." He just gave a quick nod without looking at me. He focused on Alexandra's angered and puzzled face. Watching every move she made. Suddenly she darted like a speeding bullet towards him. Edward was faster and dodged her attack within inches from her razor claws. She slid on the floor and attacked again. Same results. Now it was Edward's turn to attack. In the next jump she took he grabbed her by the ankle and threw her against the wall. Or should I say through the wall.
She still didn't give up only just decided to change her strategy a bit. This time she attacked from different angles and with different techniques. For a brief second, Edward mistook her moves and she automatically got the advantage. In that brief second she launched towards Bella, who at the moment was unconscious. Immediately I darted towards bella to stop Alexandra, but I was too far to get to her on time. Suddenly a huge brown wolf knocked her away. I knew that was Shawn's dad, Jacob. He attacked Alexandra, as well, with those dagger teeth. Edward joined in as well. As they fought, I made my way to Bella and Shawn's bodies. Putting them out of danger as well as I could.
The battle didn't last that long. Within a few minutes, Alexandra's body was torn into pieces. "Now!" Edward yelled. As quickly as I could the lighter was lit and hurdling towards Alexandra's remains. Edward carried Bella and I carried Shawn. Within seconds Edward, Jacob, and I were out of the house right before it burst into angry, wild waves of fire.
We were in the field around the house where the rest of the group arrived. Alice already had the small black leather bag opened and Carlisle tended to Shawn's injuries immediately. He told me that I needed to suck out the poison before it totally stopped his heart. I felt really uncomfortable doing it but Carlisle told me to do it before it was too late. With shaky hands I did it. That was the worst experience ever. Not only did he smell horrible from the blood that was spilling through his stomach but he tasted horrible as well. I think eating human food was more appetizing. No matter, all the poison was out and I still loved him. As Carlisle finished with the stitches, he still wouldn't wake up. I had a bad feeling in my stomach that something was missing. When Carlisle finished he already knew what I was going to ask. He answered with,"There's nothing else I can do Eli. He's lost so much blood and we need to get him to a hospital for a blood transplant."
"He won't make it. His body is using every inch of energy to try and heal up that wound. Without energy his body will shut down." A rough and rich voice came from the background. It was Jacob. I turned to look at him both furious for what he said and worried because it was true. Facing Shawn's body I asked,"How so we give him more energy to keep him alive?" He was silent with a grim facial expression. After a deep sigh he answered,"The only way for him to have enough energy right now is if he...well drinks a vampire's blood."
Edward turned and gave him a skeptical look but I figured that he got his answer through Jacob's mind. A cold sweat ran through my body. I reached inside Carlisle's bag and grabbed a scalpel. With one quick, slick movement I cut my hand straight across. The air burned a bit but I sucked in as much blood as I could into my mouth and headed towards Shawn's lips. His body was starting to turn cold. I fed him my blood until could feel his warmth returning a bit. When Jacob said to stop I whisked his body up to get him to the car. In a second, I was speeding up to the nearest town I could find searching for a hospital.
