Chapter 25

Danger

As the weekend passed by, I couldn't stop thinking about what Henry said. I still thought that there was something wrong behind all of this but I had to concentrate on my studies. I didn't—no, I couldn't—let this engulf me. Edward, Alice and Rosalie helped me study for the exams.

The week passed and exams started. At first, it was Math. It was quite easy. I knew a lot more than most people but it was good to have some help from Alice. Edward helped me in English and Emmett helped me out in Chemistry—since we didn't really have an exam in Gym, Jasper didn't need to strain himself.

Exams passed quickly but the feeling I had never passed. Henry wasn't the same as when I talked to him. I didn't tell Edward what happened with Henry but Alice probably saw it coming. I thought I might want to talk to Henry more before I make my decision. I told Edward that I wanted to talk to my father and he accepted it willingly. He wanted to accompany me but I said that I could do this by myself.

The day after exams, I took my car and drove to Henry's house. I called him a few hours before I left. He hesitated a little but with an uncertain voice, he accepted. I arrived late in the afternoon but I wasn't too late. Henry hadn't started supper. I guess he was waiting for me to make it for him, as usual. I knocked on the door and Henry was surprised that I would knock. I mean, it was technically my house too.

"Hi dad." I said as he gestured me to enter the house.

"You know, you don't have to knock. It's your house too." He said as he closed the door behind me.

"I know but it sounded more polite if I knocked." I said as I took off my coat and placed it on the rack. "Do you want me to start your dinner?"

"If you don't mind. Are you going to eat with me?" He asked as we headed towards the kitchen.

"Actually, I'm having supper with Edward tonight. He kinda wanted to celebrate the end of exams." I said as I started taking the ingredients out of the cupboards and making soup for Henry. I wonder what he's been eating for the past few weeks.

"We've been looking for any signs of you since the accident. What happened?" He asked as he took a seat at the kitchen table.

"Well, the car started spinning around uncontrollably until someone found me and started healing me. Then, the Cullens found me and took me back home." I explained.

"You came back here?"

"No, my other home. I went back to their house to heal."

"Is there any way that you'd be willing to come back home? To your real home?" He asked.

I stopped in my tracks. "Actually, I don't know… The Cullens were so welcoming when I left from here that I don't know if I have the guts to come back." I said as I continued to finish his vegetable soon. It was almost done and it smelled amazing. I was always proud to cook.

"Well, you won't have to make that decision soon…" I heard an icy voice say behind me. My eyes shot up wide and I turned around sharply to find a hooded person with white skin standing right behind Henry. It was the same hooded person from the Cullens house that attacked me and Rose! "Hello Juliette."

"Who are you?" I asked in a shaky voice.

"I'm so sorry Jules…" Henry said in a frightened voice. The hooded figure took a knife and held it right under his neck.

"Don't hurt him!" I almost screamed.

"Oh, don't worry. It's not him I'm after… It's you." He said as he ran up to me at vampire speed and was beside me in an instant. He tried to punch me but I ran beside him faster than he him. I tried to reach for my cell phone to call Edward but he just kept coming at me. I tried to avoid him but it was hard. Although, he wasn't going after me with his speed and strength. "Aren't we being a little feisty?" He said as he kept coming at me with punches.

I used the speed dial to call Edward and I placed the phone to my ear. On the first ring, he answered. "Jules?"

"Edward! You have to come here! There's—" I said but the hooded figure put a cloth to my mouth and I dropped the phone. I tried to scream but there was something in the cloth that made my vision blurry. The cloth smelled strong on my nostrils. It smelled like tonic or something stronger but it made my strength disappear. I tried to see where Henry was but he was nowhere to be found in the house. He probably ran off. Great… my own father won't even save his daughter. As I closed my eyes, the hooded figure let go of me and I dropped to the floor right beside the phone. I could hear Edward screaming nonstop my name but my voice wouldn't come.

I felt someone pick me up and hold me in its stone cold arms. I hope it wasn't him… I could hear voices but it was hard to hear. My system was shutting down on me. What was in that cloth that could make me black out like this? It sounded like Edward was screaming hard but in whispers. He was probably on the phone still but I heard something snap shut and something breaking. What was that sound? I heard static afterwards. Did that guy just break my phone?! He'd better pay that back.

Suddenly, I heard something clash to the floor before I smelled some smoke around me and everything blacked out.

I don't know how long I was passed out for but I could hear some dripping close to me. I tried opening my eyes and only saw bricks in front of me. I felt something cold splash on my face. As my vision came back to normal, I saw myself on a cold brick floor. Where was I? I tried standing up but my head was killing me! What happened? As I lay on the wall to stop the aching in my head, I looked at my surroundings. I saw shackles on the walls, a wooden door that looked quite medieval, Lizzy on the floor motionless, metal bars like in a large cell… Wait! Lizzy?! What was she doing here?

I went over to her and tried to wake her up but she just laid there motionless. As I turned her around, I saw a large very dark red scratch on her left arm. Oh no… He had scratched her too with the System Failure spell. I did the same counter-spell that I used on Rosalie and it started working. Lizzy's scratch was evaporating and going on my arm. It stung a lot when the scratch was coming onto me but at least Lizzy was starting to wake up. How long had she been like this? It didn't seem long because the wound looked fresh. As her wound evaporated completely, she started to wake up. I looked her over and she looked healthy enough. She seemed to have no broken bones or hasn't been eating enough. She opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was me.

"Jules?" She asked with a tired voice as she started to get up.

"How are you feeling?" I asked as I brought my long sleeve shirt to hide the scratch from her but it didn't work. She started looking over my new scratch and started freaking out, like the first time I met her.

"Are you alright?! How did you get this?" She asked as she tried to pull my sleeve up slowly but it hurt a lot that I stopped her in her tracks.

"It's nothing… I'm glad you're alright. Everyone's so worried about you!" I said as I hugged her. But suddenly, someone opened the wooden door to our big cell and I saw the hooded figure looking at us confused.

"Well, it seems Sleeping Beauty's awake. Hello Juliette, nice to see you again. But, I can't have you two sharing a cell. It would be unorthodox." He said as he used black magic to fling me across the room and my back hit the wall hard. Lizzy screamed my name but the hooded figure used his magic to make bars between the two of us. Since our cell was pretty big, it wasn't that big of a deal if he cut the room in half. He made another door on my side of the cell and disappeared in a pile of smoke. In a second, he was on my side of the cell. I tried getting up but I was suddenly tied up to some shackles on the wall. Why was this happening to me? Suddenly, the hooded figure took his hood off and I saw who he really was…

"Gus…"

Alright so what did you think? REVIEW PLEASE!!!!
