Ch.36: Bad Angel Pt.5: Dead?
Previously
"Jay's gonna blow up the base." she answers.
"What?!" me and Embry half yell.
"We can't do anything." she says that specifically to me and Embry. we bow our heads and we all look back at the base.
Seconds later the entire base explodes.
Still Seth's POV
"No!" Me and Embry yell at the same time, and others a second after. I fall to my knees, but I felt no different. Either I'm crazy, or they're alive, both of them. I look up and I see a flash go into the trees that the others didn't notice. I might have just imagined it, but I don't think so.
"Diamond!" I yell to her to put the fire out, seconds later, it's just a pile of rubble. Everyone runs over to it and starts digging for an hour, everyone but me. I know neither of them will be found. Then the wind blows and something at my feet actually makes me stop breathing. It's Jayla's charm. The key. I kneel down and look at it for a bit. It glows, and then stops. I reach my hand out and I grab it.
"Seth, what's... oh my god." Jake says. She was trying to tell me something, but what, I don't know.
"Sorry man," was said between me and Embry. Embry looks over to me slightly confused and I keep my expression emotionless. I knew he figured it out.
"I'm leaving," I say to them and they all nod, probably thinking I was grieving, which I was, I mean, I could be wrong. When I arrived home I was on the verge of tears, that's how deep it was. My mom and Charlie were sitting in the kitchen. My mom looked up with a smile that quickly faded when she saw me.
"Oh no, who got hurt?" I shake my head.
"No one got hurt,"
"Then why... oh my god how many?" she covers her mouth with her hands. I hold up the number 2. "Who?" I take Jay's charm out of my pocket and show it to her. She just stares at it wide eyed. "Her sister too?" I nod. "I'm so sorry," I don't answer and I go up to my room. I just stand there for a while, holding her charm tighter. I instantly regretted it 'cause I had pictures. Alot. And the first one that caught my attention was of her, smiling into the camera like a kid. Her skin was glowing, even in the picture, and so were her eyes. Any other day, I'd smile, but not today. My knees gave out and I crumbled on the floor and just lay there... I knew they were alive, I could feel it... but maybe my mind was playing tricks on me. A single tear ran down my face as I remember when I met her, the real her, in the forest, killing the Vamp in back of my house.
Flashback
I'm looking out my window. That's when I see her, right there, her clothes are shredded and she's panting heavily. I'm about to jump out and help her when she starts growling, really growling, towards something unknown in the forest. Her scent abruptly changed, from human, to half-human, half-vampire. I follow her eyes to a dark figure, walking towards her. A man comes from the shadows and I catch his scent, it's the vampire we're after. He's as surprised as I am by the change, then he realize what had happened.
"You tricked me! You knew I'd come after you!" He growled at her.
"Man, your quick, I thought I was gonna have to spell it out," she says sarcastically laughing her head off. I've never seen her like that, this was her natural self, not restraining.
"Why?" He's still confused.
"You must be an idiot or something. Your the one whose been stalking me for the last 2 weeks, and you still don't know the answer? I did it for them dummy! I wasn't about to let my family get themselves killed trying to catch you! Well, I threw the bait, you took it, and now, you're not making it out of here alive," she stops laughing and is suddenly very serious. It takes a split second, and then the vampire is in pieces. She then spits on the ground and starts walking in the direction of Sam's house, one word leaves her lips. "Burn," and then where she spit, it suddenly ignites into flames. I swear I heard a noise that sounded like pain coming from her. It all make sense now, how she could have turned 16 so fast, and I knew she looked 18. It didn't make sense how she could disguise her scent like that, unless there's more she could do besides the spit thing. It also made sense that she went missing. She wasn't only a protector, but she was the bait to who she was protecting people from. It's not like they'd believe me if I told them, but I've gotta speak to her first. I jump out the window and run towards her house. When I get there I jump to her bedroom window and sit on the windowsill of the open window. She obviously didn't go in through the front. I just sit there waiting for her to finally notice, when I hit the sill by mistake. She hisses in surprise and turns her head incredibly fast, and stops short when she sees it's just me. The diamond smile of hers lit up her face.
"I was hoping you saw me, I was tired of hiding my scent from everyone, it's nice to have one person know," so she knew, I was watching.
"Well, if I'm alone, you won't have to hide it," We both hear the footsteps.
"Turn out the lights, and hide, I'll be OK,"
"You sure?" she nods quickly and she fakes being asleep, and I hide on the ceiling, when the door opens, the window's closed and it's dark. Sam enters and when he sees her asleep he shakes his head smiling slightly.
"I'll never understand how that's possible, I mean the window was closed and locked, but I won't ask, and Seth, I know your there," he looks right at me, this is just not my day. I jump down and stand before him, still looking at her.
"Hello Sam," I say, "I'm sorry I'm here,"
"Your senses brought you here; you knew she was coming back tonight,"
"Yeah, I just missed her," I reply truthfully. He leaves the room and Jay is sitting upright again, still smiling.
"You will tell me when you leave again," I say to her, sitting next to her, she nods and hugs me tightly, I don't hesitate in embracing her back. "I missed you... so much Jayla, I was afraid I wouldn't see you again,"
"I've missed you, Seth, I just wanted to keep you guys safe, I've been tracking this guy for months, and then he starts stalking me, I had to disappear to finish it, but I'll never do that again, believe it or not, but for some reason, I had a hard time staying away from here, I guess I'm not strong enough to run from here like I was 6 years ago... I do have to leave every month, just for like 2 days at the most, 1 usually, nobody would notice I'm gone though," as long as the week thing was out the window, I'm good she goes back under her covers, she says three words. "Good night Seth,"
"Good night Jayla," I watch her drift off, all the emotions on her face melted away, leaving a peaceful expression.
Flashback over
Of course I have to be dumb enough to go on the computer. I go on the contest website, and was about to erase her profile, but then I saw that it was locked in 10 minutes ago...? Then I notice something.
Renesmee's POV
I remember when I first met her, the real her, and her sister. That hunting day when she stole my lion. It started with that for me, and now it's this. For her sister, when we met, it reminded me of how Carlisle described my father to be when he was human, but stronger. They both had their fighting spirit.
Flashback
I catch the scent of a mountain lion, and go for it. After a few seconds I find it. I was about to spring for it, she got there first, and it was dry in seconds. She stands up and looks at me, she looked familiar, but her skin was faintly glowing just like mine.
"Sorry, about that," she say. I just nod and she runs back to the tree line.
Flashback over
I can't believe their dead.
Embry's POV
Barely knew my imprint, but I could tell she was alot like her sister; they both had their fighting spirit. Never gave up. I had a feeling she was alive, hopefully both, for Seth's sake, and her's of course.
Seth's POV
I know what I have to do... what we have to do, all of us. If I'm wrong and she is dead, then this will be it...
A/N:I wonder what it is. Oh that's right, I know! :p The final chapter of this story before the epilogue! AHHHH! Just wait until you read the epilogue! You will probably guess it, review if you do. R&R PLEASE R&R.?! WG∞ is out for now. :) Peace! The song is I was Here, Beyoncé. Makes perfect sense right?
