Chapter 24

Worth It

I awoke to a most unpleasant noise. "Hey, girl! Wake up! You're here!"

I sat straight up from my seat and stared at the frustrated cab driver. "Sorry." I mumbled and handed him a $30 from my back pocket.

I got out of the truck and almost stumbled on the familiar rocky driveway. I looked up at my once childhood home, but now all I saw was a abandoned old farm house with ivy growing up the sides of the house. The lawn was overgrown and the house full of life and laughter I used to know was gone. Empty.

I slammed the car door and the driver sped away. No more going back now.

I started up the gravel driveway, thinking of all the ways I could fight, but knowing I had no chance against a vampire. My pace quickened once I realized Sarah was in there with a vampire. Oh god. My walk soon turned into a full out sprint. I really need to workout more, but I guess that doesn't matter anymore.

I ran up the creaky wooden porch steps and jumped over the broken one. It all looked the same. I remember I would sit in one of the rocking chairs and read all summer. All the younger siblings playing in the huge yard.

I sighed and reached for the rusty handle. Unlocked, of course. The door opened with a creak and cast a ray of sunlight on the dusty floors. This is it.

I walked fully in, leaving the door open for light, but then suddenly I was incased with darkness and the sound of the door slamming shut. I gulped.

"Well, hello, Veronica." James voice sounded behind me.

"Where's Sarah?" I asked shakily.

He laughed. "You really believed that? Ha! It was merely a video tape of your whole family playing hide and seek." I gasped. Oh my god! I'm so stupid! James's voice carried on. "Now, lets get some light in here." Before I could fully comprehend what he said, there was the sound of a light flicking on. Then out of nowhere his face was right in front of mine.

I shrieked and stumbled back falling on the floor. He laughed joyfully, in an evil way. "This is much interesting then I thought." He took something out from behind his back. A video camera? "I stole this from the local store and thought, why not shoot our little gathering. When we're all finished I could show your precious Edward."

"No, don't!" I said desperately. The last thing I wanted him to do was to see me die and then avenge me.

"Um…no." He hit record and squatted down to my level, putting the camera right at my face. "Now, Veronica, lets play." All too soon he grabbed my collar of my shirt and through me into the staircase.

I groaned from the impact. I think I had a few bruised ribs. I looked back up at his now approaching figure.

"Tell him to avenge you!" I stayed quiet. He appeared in front of me and grabbed my arm. "Tell him! Now! Tell him to avenge you!" He put the camera back in my face.

"No, Edward, don't!" I yelled, yanking my arm free and rolling back down the stairs.

Then I felt a sharp pain in my arm and a loud crack. I terror filled scream came from my mouth. "Don't run from me! Tell him!" James yelled throwing me into a wall. I had no idea which one because everything was turning into a blur. Not good.

I moaned at the new feeling in my shoulder. I probably dislocated it.

I looked up towards the sky light in the ceiling, hoping the pain would stop. "Don't." I said quietly.

"One of my victims got away once. Your little friend. She was in an insane asylum and her blood smelled amazing, but yours is so much better. But then an older vampire already changed her! You will not escape!" he ran at me full speed, but stopped, looking at the ceiling. I looked up to, just in time to see a figure crashing through it with bronze hair.

James growled, grabbed my right wrist and bit. I never knew it could hurt so much for someone to bite you. I guess vampire bites are worse than my brothers and sisters bites. James was ripped away from me and into the now broken staircase.

Instead of the horrible feeling of my arm being broken, ribs being broken or bruised, shoulder dislocated, and a new sharp pain in my head I suddenly felt, I felt a new pain, worse than all put together. It was in my wrist.

Before I could stop myself, I screamed, loud. It was like fire coursing through my wrist and traveling up.

I heard new voices and saw blurs of people above me. "Carlisle,…blood…a lot…head." Alice's voice said.

My body started convulsing. "My wrist!" I screamed as best I could. I then clamped my teeth together.

"He bit her…?" Alice said almost surprised.

The rest was a blur and I think I blanked out for a bit before I heard.

"You have to Edward or she'll turn into one of us." Carlisle said.

"No! I wont let her be a monster. But I wont be able to stop." My angels voice said. He sounded so pained. I knew he could though. I hope he would hurry though. The pain the traveling up my arm. I heard a sigh then a whisper next to my ear. "I'm sorry, Ronnie." Then another sharp pain in my wrist. What the heck are they doing? But then the pain started to ebb away. Hmm…that felt good. It felt like I was floating.

"The venom's gone. Edward you have to stop. She's dying. Your killing her." I would forgive him. He was just trying to save me anyways. And plus I risked to die in the place of someone I loved. Why not him? Or anyone? As long as I could be happy. Right? This was all worth it. Knowing I died for someone I love. Yeah…

Okay so what'd ya think? Bad? i thought it wasnt the best. So... REVIEWW
