Happy Reading!
As soon as I landed on four giant paws, the pack mind linked with mine and what I saw from several different angles had me tearing up the yard and practically flying toward the cliffs behind Jake. Twilight was upon us and a heavy fog lingered between the trees, thickening the closer we got to the top of the cliffs. We raced onward, heading for Forks, Victoria's wild red curls were pulled back behind her with her speed as she tried to outrun the pack and she wasn't alone. As I galloped toward the action with Jake, I counted fourteen other vampires with her and each of them were stopping every few moments to take a swing at one of my wolves. Leah pounced on one of the slower vampires, a small girl who looked to be about sixteen years old, ripping her throat out and decapitating her quickly with an irritable growl. She wasted no time to stop and light the girl on fire and continued chasing the hoard that threatened our lives. Seth was right behind her and caught a male mid jump by his ankle. The hard thud of his body hitting the forest floor shook the earth and Seth yanked his foot off, tossing the appendage aside and ignoring the male's screams as he went in for the kill. Embry took a swift clothes-lining sweep to his hind legs, tripping him up and causing him to yelp. I felt the pain as if it were my own and spoke to him out of concern.
"Easy, Embry!" I commanded through the link. "Fall back and start a fire with what we've destroyed already." I didn't want him trying to run this off before his quick healing had a chance to work.
He grunted out a pained, "'K, boss," before he phased out. I could only hope his legs weren't too injured.
I took down the vampire that hurt Embry with an ear shattering roar, shutting off any emotion I might have for these creatures that were brutally turned for Victoria's sick vengeance. That she would so callously kill these humans simply to get passed us, made me want to throw up. The knowledge that she was after Little Red and that she was doing this to kill her sent white hot rage through my veins. I picked up my speed, nodding left to Jake.
Paul and Jared were racing to the east, as we neared the Forks town line, trying to head off a group of three that split from Victoria's army, while Jake and I turned west. Victoria was leaping from tree to tree as she laughed and squealed her disgusting delight. Leah and Seth caught up to us while we all continued to take out vampire after vampire. The air was thick with the sweet stench of their venom and our noses burned but we pushed forward, not ceasing in our crusade to protect not only Bella, but the surrounding towns as well. Our growls and angry roars were matched with the spitting hisses of the vampires and Victoria's delusional laughter. I wanted to end her myself. To decapitate the one being who sought out my love's blood for revenge.
