Alex's POV

I sat in the same spot, chained to the dismal cave wall. Parker had been hunting for a while. I wonder when he will get back...
"Ahh, do you miss Parker?" the man said. I just glared at him, not responding. He laughed. "That is just precious."
I turned my head away from him. He disgusted me; I couldn't look at him. He chuckled again. "Don't get too attached to him. Before you know it,
he could disappear."
My eyes widened but I couldn't let him see my face. It would give away that I... loved Parker.
"Master, master!" Parker yelled, as if on cue, running into the cave.
"Intruders! And there are large wolves with them!" he shouted.
"Werewolves," the man whispered.
Parker looked over, then he... winked at me. Why did he wink? Unless... All of the sudden, six wolves sauntered into the cave. But they didn't look like normal wolves. They were gigantic with sharp teeth and the colors of their fur varied. They ranged from brown to midnight black. It was like they were wolves that were genetically enhanced because they were so large. They were fierce and intimidating.
And they absolutely terrified me to no end.
The midnight black wolf looked over at me and barked to his fellow wolves. It was like he was communicating with them.
I scooted backwards until my back was pressed up against the wall. I was determined to not let those vicious beasts anywhere near me.
"Adrienne, Monter l'armée!" the man screamed. "Parker, go watch the
humans and summon Eliza! Juan, get the girl!"
Juan was next to me in a second, unchaining me from the wall. He pinned my arms behind my back and picked me up off of the ground. Adrienne and what I assumed were other vampires made a line in front of the man's throne. They were his guard, but he did not deserve to be protecting. He was a vile piece of scum.
One of the vampires laughed once. I looked over and it was the male vampire who first captured me. I guess he read my mind and was laughing about what I said. He nodded.
I guess I was right.
I tried to wiggle free from Juan's grasp, but it was no use. He just kicked me in the back of the leg. I decided not to move.
Bella and Edward walked into the cave with large strides. Esme and Carlisle were next and they were followed by Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett.
I'd never thought I'd see them again.
Esme's eyes scanned the room until they fell upon me.
"Esme!" I screamed. Juan took his large hand and clamped it over my mouth. Wow, I couldn't move or speak.
"Hello Cullen Clan!" the man said. His line of vampires parted so he could make his way through. "It is an honor to have you in my humble abode!"
"Greetings, Nathaniel," Edward said.
Oh, so the man's name is Nathaniel.
Nathaniel turned to me. "I never did tell you my name, did I?"
I couldn't speak so I just narrowed my eyes at him.
He chuckled and walked over to me, stroking my hair. I cringed at his touch. Esme growled and Alice grabbed her wrist to hold her back.
"It is a pleasure meeting you, Nathaniel," Carlisle said. "But if you would just give Alex back to me, we will be on our way."
Nathaniel laughed. "No, no, no. That won't do. You haven't heard my
proposition yet!"
"And what would that be?" Esme asked, coming to stand up next to Carlisle.
"You could join my army!" he said. "I know of the powers your clan has. Mind-reading, the ability to predict the future, and affecting one's emotions. It's all so amazing! So, what do you say? Will you join me?"
Nathaniel was still standing next to me and put his hand on my shoulder. I cringed again. Juan laughed at my misery.
"Over my dead body!" Esme spat. I have never seen her this mad. Frankly, I've never seen her mad.
Nathaniel groaned. "Oh, this one bothers me." He turned to Adrienne. "S'il vous plaît."
I didn't speak French but I knew what Nathaniel was referring to. Adrienne was going to torture Esme.
"No!" I screamed, but having Juan's hand over my mouth, it sounded muffled.
Adrienne just stared at Esme. Nothing happened. Esme actually smiled at Adrienne.
"Impossible! Comment est-il ne fonctionne pas?" Adrienne screamed.
"Oh, did I forget to mention?" Edward said. "My wife Bella has an incredibly strong shield." He looked rather smug. I looked over at Bella. She looked like she was concentrating.
"What?" Nathaniel screamed. He looked infuriated. One of his best "weapons" was no longer useful.
Nathaniel stood there dumbfounded. When I thought he was going to do nothing, he yelled "Attack!"
What happened next was the most gruesome thing I have ever seen.
Nathaniel and his guard sprung on the wolves and everyone. My family was extremely strong. Edward protected Bella because of her shield. It was keeping everyone safe. Well, except for the bad vampires. Many of the vampires fighting for Nathaniel were weak. Alice jumped onto a male vampire's shoulders and ripped his head clean off. Jasper had started a small fire in the corner of the room and Alice threw the vampire's head into the fire. It was disgusting how the heads came clean off.
The wolves mauled some of the vampire's bodies. The bodies laid in
heaps on the cave floor. It almost made me sick to look at them. The wolves, it seemed, were made to destroy vampires. How my family made an alliance with them I do not know.
Soon the only people left fighting for Nathaniel were Adrienne, the man who captured me, and two other male vampires who seemed to be as strong as Juan, maybe even stronger.
"Juan! I need you to protect me!" Nathaniel shouted. "Drop the girl!"
Juan released me from his iron grasp. He dropped me and I hit the floor with a thud.
Esme was fighting with Adrienne. They were crouched in front of each other, both looking ready to pounce each other like fierce lions. One of the strong vampires was sneaking up behind Esme. He would attack her before she could even turn. And if she did turn, Adrienne would spring on her.
"Esme, look out!" I screamed.
Carlisle came running at full speed and slammed the male vampire to the ground. That distracted Adrienne for a split second and Esme snapped her head right off. I shivered as Esme threw the head into the fire and Carlisle doing the same with the head of the body he dispatched. Two of the wolves destroyed the other strong vampire and Emmett was after Juan.
Nathaniel looked over at me. Since I was free, I figured it would be a good idea to MOVE.
He ran over to me and grabbed my wrist so I couldn't move. "You're not going anywhere," he spat. He looked around the room. "My entire army is just about gone! My hard work... WASTED!" he yelled. "And it is all your fault! You're stupid little coven and those werewolves came in and destroyed EVERYTHING I've worked for! I won't let you get away unharmed!"
Nathaniel bit down on my wrist. I screamed in pain. Where he bit started to burn.
He threw me down to the ground. I couldn't move. I just laid there, helpless.
"Please! Make it stop!" I moaned. "It burns!"
Nathaniel just stared down at me and laughed one of the most sinister laughs I have ever heard.

I could see Carlisle tackle Nathaniel to the ground and rip him to pieces faster than he did with any of the other vampires. He caught Nathaniel off guard.
I screamed out in pain again. The burning was moving up my arm. This was the worst pain I have ever endured. It felt worse than my arm being on fire.
Esme knelt down on the ground and put my head on her knees.
"Alex? Can you hear me? Everything is going to be alright, sweetheart. Carlisle is going to make the pain go away," she said.
I couldn't seem to say anything coherent. All I could think about was the burning.
Carlisle lifted my wrist to his mouth. Was he drinking my blood? I knew he was a vampire...
"Stop... Stop drinking my blood!" I screamed. "Make the burning go away!"
I thought that I could hear Esme gasp. I bet she didn't know that I knew she and the rest of the family were vampires.
Slowly, the burning stopped, but not before I slipped into unconsciousness.

-oOo-

I opened my eyes to see Esme's face.
"Hey, you are awake," she said.
I immediately stood up and backed away from her. Looking around, I still saw bits and pieces of bodies being cleaned up by Carlisle, Edward, Jasper, and Emmett.
"Don't drink my blood like Carlisle did," I said.
Esme stood up and I backed farther away from her.
"Alex, please listen to me. Carlisle did not drink your blood. He was sucking the venom out of you bloodstream. That was what was giving you the burning feeling. And as for me, I would never drink your blood. None of us would," she said.
"But you are..." I paused. "Vampires, right?"
Esme sighed. "Yes, all of us are except for Renesmee. I wish that you would not have found out this way. We kept the secret from you for your safety. However, that did not work out so well."
"But wait. If you aren't going to drink my blood then... what do you drink?" I asked.
"I had a feeling you would ask about that," Esme said. "You notice how
our eyes are gold?"
I nodded.
"Well, our eyes are gold because we only drink animal blood, not human blood. The other vampires had red eyes because they drink human blood," she said.
"So I'm safe with you?"
She smiled. "Exactly."
"I have one more question," I said to Esme. "What would have happened if Carlisle didn't suck the venom out of my blood stream?"
"You would have become a vampire," she whispered.
I gasped. I couldn't imagine becoming a vampire. At least not now...
"I am so sorry for all of the things you had to go through these past few days," Esme said. "And I want you to know that I love you and I will always protect you, no matter what. Do you forgive me?"
I smiled. "I forgive you, Mom."
She smiled back and pulled me into a hug. Carlisle was at her side in an instant and I gave him a hug, too.
"I am so glad you are alright," he said, kissing my forehead.
We walked towards everyone and Alice and Rosalie engulfed me into a huge hug.
"Thank god you're alright!" Rosalie shouted.
"We were worried sick!" Alice said.
I broke from there hug and Emmett scooped me up into a bear hug.
"Come here, kid!" he boomed.
"Can't... breathe..." I gasped.
He put me down gently and patted me on the head, making me laugh. I looked over at Jasper, Edward, and Bella. I was happy to see them, too, but I didn't know how to express it like I had done with the
others.
"It's good to see you, too, Alex," Edward said. Oh right, he can read minds.
"Yes I can," he replied to my thoughts. I just laughed.
"Oh, come here," Bella said, wrapping me up in a small hug.
I looked at Jasper. He grinned at me.
I did happen to notice that the wolves were missing.
"Where are the wolves?" I asked.
"They went to try to find something to eat," Esme said. "They are going to meet us at the plane."
"You took a plane here?" I gasped.
"Yeah! An awesome, luxurious mini private jet!" Alice said.
"Let us get going, then," Carlisle said.
"Wait!" I yelled. "Where's Parker?"
I ran down the hall way where I would always see Nathaniel go down. It was extremely dark and I couldn't see anything.
"Parker!" I called.
The tunnel opened up into a large room with beds and dressers. To the side was a giant cell with... humans inside. Parker was standing outside of it. He turned, saw me, and smiled.
"It's over," I said. "We won."
He ran over and swooped me up into the air and spun me around. As he placed me down, he planted a kiss on my cheek. Of course, I blushed. Parker walked over and unlocked the door to the cell. All the humans ran out. I noticed that everyone in the cell was a child. It just proved how cruel Nathaniel was.
All the children ran out to the main room. Only Esme and Carlisle were in the room. Everyone else must have gone to the jet.
"Everyone, calm down!" Parker shouted over the kids. "I'm going to get all of you home."
He turned to me. "I have to help everyone get home so I can't go with you, as much as I want to. But I promise you, Alex, I will find you one day." He kissed me on the cheek again. "Now go home with your family."
"I'll miss you with all of my heart," I whispered.
"I will miss you, too." He paused. "Goodbye, angel."
Before I left, I saw Mary, the girl who Adrienne tortured in front of my eyes. She saw me and I gave her a hug.
"You'll be safe now," I whispered in her ear.
I followed Esme and Carlisle outside. The jet was nowhere in sight.
"Where's the jet?" I asked.
"We have to run there," Carlisle said. I'm sure he could see the distress in my face. He lifted me up onto his back and said "Hold on tight."
All of the sudden, we were flying. Well, at least it felt like flying.
Carlisle and Esme were running extremely fast, like vampires could. The feeling of the wind whipping my hair was exhilarating. After running for a long time, we reached the jet.
I knew that I was one step closer to home.

~oOo~

Yay, Alex is safe!

"I couldn't imagine becoming a vampire. At least not now..."

Foreshadowing, maybe?
