Chapter 52 – I Promise
Seth
I raced through the woods, letting the nature surround me as I followed the trail. She was there, I could feel my heart calling out to her.
"Why," I whispered to myself, "why now, why her?"
The forest was silent, answers wouldn't come so easily. I pushed my body harder, the thought of changing into a wolf wrapped around me but I pushed it aside. I would share thoughts with the others if I did, and I didn't want them to know where I was.
I reached a mountain peak that overlooked the small quiet harbor. A large ship was anchored there, just as I thought it would be. Several of the volturi vampires stood on guard, protecting their master. Next to said master, stood the woman. Her beautiful dark skin a definite contrast to the white creatures beside her.
She paused before stepping onto the smaller boat, one that was probably shuttling them to the larger vessel in the harbor. Her deep brown eyes turned upward to take in her surroundings and for a moment I could have sworn they collided with mine. The world pivoted as I saw the loneliness deep in her soul. It was like she was calling out to me.
Then she turned and stepped onto the boat. The absence of just her glance hurt. Damn it! I didn't even know her name. Why did she have to leave? I already loved her, all it had taken was a single glace and now I was hers forever.
I turned, letting the bark of a large tree dig into my back as I lowered my body to the ground. Cold wet soil came up to meet me.
Tears burned behind my eyes.
"I'll come for you," I declared, praying to the ancestors that her heart could somehow hear me. "I promise."
