Author's Note: The song that was mentioned in the last chap is actually real. There's a link to the site that holds the song in my profile. Scroll down the list if you don't see it right away. The song is called Stay A While.
Disclaimer: I only own Elizabeth, Henry and Troy...I'm not too proud of that creation but I do nonetheless.
Elizabeth was on her way upstairs when I got down to the last step of the stairs. She grabbed me as I passed, her face full of concern.
Rescue
"Bella, what is it?"
"They need help," I replied, my voice a bit frantic. She nodded as if she understood everything and let go of my sleeve. I took off again with her right behind me to the car. I got in the car and slammed the door shut and backed out of the driveway with Elizabeth only halfway in. She managed to hang on and slipped in at the last minute and closed the door gently.
Throughout the drive, my mind kept replaying Alice's phone conversation with. One word stuck with me, Victoria. Alice's voice was panicked and desperate, she really needed help and expected me to be there. I don't know what I'd do if one of them got hurt. I pushed down harder on the gas and the car purred slightly before speeding up. I refused to think of what would happen if I was too late or if I couldn't find them. I reassured myself over and over that I would make it and that everything would be okay. Elizabeth must've sensed my inner struggle because she stayed quiet, not wanting to make it worse for me.
When we finally reached the house, I didn't even take the time to pull into the driveway. I slammed on the brakes and hopped out of the car when I heard the tires skid to a stop. I ran into the woods surrounding the house, desperately searching for a sign of them. Elizabeth ran after me, her eyes scanning the surroundings too. With every moment that passes, my mind ran wild with horrible scenarios to the situation. Suddenly, a familiar growl erupted from the left of us. I halted in my tracks and so did Elizabeth. She looked at me to make sure that I heard it too. I nodded quickly before heading in the direction of the sound. I ran until I saw a couple of trees that had been knocked over and broken like something hit it really hard causing it to snap into two. Elizabeth looked over at me in horror, seeming to realize what I just did too. There had been a fight here.
I heard another growl, this one vicious and unfamiliar to my memory a little deeper onto our right. I dashed in its direction runnning faster than I ever thought that I was capable of. I came to a rough clearing, the surrounding trees knocked over and bruised terribly to create it. Emmett and Jasper were lying on the ground, unconscious. Alice and Rosalie were lying face down near a tree. Alice had her cell phone lying beside her broken into three pieces. My eyes darted around to search for Edward but I couldn't find him. Elizabeth was trying to wake Alice or any of them but they layed lifeless on the ground as if they were truly dead. I let out a dry sob but refused to accept my conclusion of why they weren't responding.
I walked over to Emmett wanting to try to get him up myself but I felt a slight breeze. I looked up just in time to see Edward flying through the air and hitting a tree trunk before hitting the ground.
"Edward!" I screamed. I saw a flash of red heading towards his lifeless body and something heading for me. The blur hit me and knocked me backwards onto the grass. I didn't have time to even get a good look at what hit me before it started to punch me.
I flipped the figure off me and kicked it into a group of trees. Elizabeth rushed over to me to check if I was okay.
"Bella, I'll deal with him. You go help Edward!" Her tone was urgent and angry. I nodded and got on my feet and rushed in the direction I saw Edward and Victoria.
I saw her hunched over him hitting him over and over again. He looked exhausted and could hardly fight back but there was also something about his movements. He looked slower and had less force than the usual Edward. Her last punch knocked him out and she began to tear him apart.
I sped up and crouched down before pouncing on her sending her flying 10 feet back. I was quicker than her and managed to dodge some of the punches she threw but the ones that hit me were of extreme force. One of them knocked me off her and in a second she was standing over me and kicking my sides. I flipped over and caught sight of a tree and ordered it to unroot itself and collide with her. The tree ripped itself out of the ground and flew at Victoria at lightning speed and hit her like a bat hitting a baseball. She flew above the trees and deeper into the woods. I got up dropping the tree from my mind and ran in her direction.
I found her caught in a tree, disoriented and hurt badly. I climbed up and dragged her down. I slapped her a dozen times before she was knocked out cold and began tearing her apart into the tiniest pieces I can manage. I was only halfway done when I heard a loud crack and a growl. This wasn't Elizabeth's growl. I panicked and headed back to where I left her and the other vampire.
Elizabeth was lying on the grass knocked out while the other vampire stood over her. He had untidy black hair and black hair. He doesn't possess the beauty that I was often accustomed to when it came to vampires. He was disgusting and ugly with horrible posture. He growled at me when I interrupted whatever he was about to do to her.
"She was no match for me. None of them were. It was only a matter of time before my voice sang them into a sleep. And as soon as I'm done, they won't ever wake up," he laughed. He was the one that did this to them. Edward was almost helpless because of him. My family was now unconscious because of him.
I didn't even realize that he had already began to sing. When he spoke, his voice was squeaky and sounded like he had a sore throat but now it sounded even and beautiful as if it came out of angel. I liked it but I didn't feel sleepy at all. I flashed my teeth at him and jumped on him. He seemed surprised at the force I was able to put forth. I didn't give him the time to ask any question. I punched him as hard and as fast as I could without stopping and didn't even stop when he was clearly knocked out.
Stop. You have to tear him to shreds and burn both of their bodies.
I stopped at my mind's reminder. I quickly tore his body to pieces, got up, and pulled out my last piece of energy to run back to the house and search for matches or a lighter. I went throught the house and found an ancient lighter in one of the kitchen cupboards and almost jumped for joy. I refrained from doing just that and made my way back to the woods and set both of Victoria's and the her friend's bodies on fire and watched it burn to a handful of ashes.
I put out the fire with the extinguisher from the house a while later and collapsed on the floor in exhaustion and stress. I remembered murmuring a faint, "Edward" before letting myself slip into darkness and landing on the soft grass. I was happy that I was able to save my family but I was didn't have the strength to hunt now and the thirst would eventually kill me. Would someone be able to rescue me then?
