So I realize it's been like two months since I last updated and I'm sorry… boy / friends who are boys drama but I'm back.
"Enjoy the chapter my loves."
"Alec… your just too damn gorgeous!"
"I know. And for all you who have read this chapter and the next one and are all like WTF what just happened. Katie has decided that Gwen fell in love a bit too fast so she rewrote the ending. I personally liked the old one but im just paid to stand here with no shirt so…"
I let out a sigh. This was nice.
I had successfully taken down a bear not too long ago and I was currently lying on a cool mossy rock by the stream. The water held the faintest hint of red from the blood I washed off my hands and arms. Hunting was still a messy chore for me.
The sun was almost complete it's journey for the day and I knew that everyone would be gathering to meet with the wolves soon. They'd quickly realized I was missing if they haven't already. I wonder what my punishment will be when I return. Maybe they'd starve me like Riley did when I snuck out to feed when it wasn't my night to do so. Or maybe Jasper would rip out my throat again. Or my own stupidity will be my punishment. Or maybe they'll simply be done with me and I'll be disposed of.
I'm sure that last one won't happen though. I have a feeling I've gotten too close to them for them to kill me for something like this. But they would be disappointed in me, and it would be very hard to get away like this for a long time.
Even with this in mind I couldn't bring myself to get up from my sunny rock and go back to the house. So I didn't. But I will get up to walk for a bit. I think I ran through a small meadow when I was trying to find some hot blood out here. It would be a good place to catch the sun set.
As I stood and gathered myself from the rock, I had the most unsettling feeling of being watched. Careful not to show my discomfort I stretched and looked around as if I was admiring the beautiful forest.
There was nothing. Nothing to see, smell, or hear. I have recently noticed that the more I develop my gift of sight the weaker my hearing becomes. It's not horribly noticeable but it is noticeable. But even with my slightly handicapped hearing there is nothing out there to hear that shouldn't be heard.
With that aside I picked up a fast human walk towards the meadow I had found. It was smaller then the one I had found with Edward and that human's sent in it, but it had just as many flowers. The setting sun turned the trees, which were still dripping from the shower the other day, a light jade green.
I sat on the large rock in the center of the small clearing and wished I had brought my violin. I missed the feel of polished wood under my finger and the warm vibrations from the horsehair bow. I watched, as the sun was minuets from diving under the horizon for the night, in complete bliss.
A branch snapped.
I was on my feet in an instant and I cursed my hearing for not warning me sooner. I sunk into my crouch but straightened after a moment, feeling silly.
A single grey wolf, normal wolf thank God, trotted into the clearing. When she saw me she froze. She had been in a fight quite recently. Her back left leg was bleeding and held no weight. Aside from that she looked lethal. Her ears were flat against her head and her teeth were bared but it was clear by her eyes she didn't want to fight me.
We stared at each other for a moment but the wolf didn't budge. It reminded me of the dog I had when I was little. We remained like this till the sun was down for the day. The moon quickly filled the meadow with an eerie light.
"Hello Gwen, my little pigeon." For a split second I thought the wolf was talking to me but then I saw the figure standing in the dark of the forest on the edge of the meadow. He had been so quiet I must've ignored his movement for a small animal.
Even with her bad leg, the wolf bounded out of the clearing. No doubt to somewhere much safer then here.
"Wait for me!" I wanted to scream.
The man took a step into the light. He was tall and big like Emmett with short dark hair. His muscles were very defined even under the cloak he wore. I froze; it was the same cloak that boy wore. The man smiled, making his burgundy eyes twinkle and reveling his sharp teeth.
"How do you know my name?" I was surprised by how confident I sounded. The man hesitated.
"I'm afraid that's classified pigeon." He was teasing me now. "But to make it fair… I'm Felix." Volturi! "It's a pleasure to finally meet you." He began to circle me. If I didn't think he was about to kill me then I might've found him pleasant.
"You're very hard to get to you know." His voice was low and smooth but held an undertone that was menacing. "I thought you'd never get out of your cage little pigeon." We locked eyes for a moment but as if he knew what I could do, he looked away and looked where he was walking. "Such beautiful eyes you have."
"Thank you." I said out of habit of receiving a compliment.
"Your quite welcome pigeon." I heard a distant howl and I remembered the wolves that the Cullen's had to meet with. They had no doubt found out that I was missing.
"I have to go now." I told the man. He tilted his head to the side and staring at me with those red eyes. He paused mid step for a second before he continued circling.
"I don't want you to leave." His voice was so smooth now I almost wanted to stay with him.
"I have to." I told the man. I hared Felix stop behind me.
"No you don't." He purred.
A breeze flew through the trees and I made the first move. Felix was rather confused as to how he ended up on his back, but the time everything caught up for him, I was long gone.
I had no idea where I was or where the house was but I still ran. I ran toward the distant wolf's howl I had heard earlier. Felix was fast, a lot faster then his size would make him seem. He was on my heels after only a few seconds. The stream where I had rested an hour before was coming up fast, that water would slow me down. I jumped.
Before I had time to touchdown on he other side of the wide stream, Felix's strong arms found their way around me.
We hit the ground rolling. When my back struck a rock we stopped. I tried to use the moment of to get back on my feet but he quickly had me pinned. I bared my teeth and hissed. His grin was sadistic.
"You caught me off guard." He growled. "That's a very hard thing to do little pigeon." I snarled and snapped my teeth at his nose.
Felix looked into my eyes a moment too long and I knew he was mine. Felix's memories were very dark. He was part of the Volturi, a thought that made me shudder, and his main job it seemed was hunting down people with a man named Demetri and killing them. I wondered for a fraction of a second if he was here to kill me, but that was impossible. The Volturi couldn't possible know I exist.
I left his memories and quickly found the ropes being pulled from my hands.
"get out…"The voice was distant but it was Felix speaking to me inside is mind.
It scared me from a moment but I ignored him and worked on removing him from me so I could run.
"Get out!" the thought was much more forceful this time and the ropes were becoming harder the hold. What was this?
"GET OUT"The ropes gave a strong yank and I found myself looking at a very angry Felix, who still had me pinned to the rock.
I could feel the shook and terror on my face. How did he do that? I panicked. Everything I tried to do to make him drop me was useless. He was just too strong. If I live through this I'll never sneak out of the house again. I began to cry yet no tears formed.
"Such defiance will never do where you're going, you'll just get punished" He sneered. His nose skimmed the curve of my neck; chills ran through me. "You know what my favorite part about sinking my teeth into a newborn?" he purred in my ear. "It's tasting the blood that still lingers in their veins."
Felix bit into my hollow carotid artery with such force I was too shocked to scream at first. But after that shock was gone all I could do was scream. I mustered every last once of strength I had to push him off me.
My freedom didn't last long. The moment I was on my feet he had me pinned to the rock I hit earlier.
"Don't ever try to overshadow me again." He snarled. "Understand?" I nodded quickly.
"Felix!" a familiar voice roared. Felix turned to look behind him before he let me go.
"I thought you'd never show up." Felix's voice was pleasant and playfully exhausted as if he wasn't just about to rip my head off.
"What are you doing with her?" The boy who saved me from the wolves stood tense with anger before us. He glanced me over and his gaze came to rest on the fresh bite mark I had. There were now two of them on my neck.
I could see the boys face now that his hood was drawn back. He was young, my age or a bit older, with the soft looks and slight round face of a child. His hair was a dark brown looking almost black in the moonlight. Red eyes indicated he preferred human over animal blood. He was very handsome.
"Looking for you of course." Felix turned and took a threatening step towards the boy and away from me. "Aro is very upset with you right now." He took another step. "He sent word for you."
There was a long pause of deliberation as the boy gave Felix a death glare. If these two worked for together then this boy must be part of the Volturi as well. This is bad. They'd surly kill me, like the Cullen's said, if they found out who turned me and where I came from.
"I'll go with you." He finally decided.
"Excellent." Felix cheered.
Felix turned to face me again and was back in front of me in one stride. His hand reached out the stroke my cheek but I couldn't move or protest; I was terrified of what he might do to me again.
The boy was suddenly by my side holding Felix's hand away from me. The expression on his face was horrifying. If I were still human I would have fainted from fear.
"Don't." He warned. Felix's eyes narrowed dangerously.
"As you wish." Felix turned to leave yanking his hand from his. "Come one little one, your sister's been very worried about you." Felix called as he disappeared into the trees. "I'll be seeing you latter pigeon." His voice ghosted through the trees sending a chill over me.
The boy sighed next to me; I looked to see why he was still here. His bright red eyes bored into mine with such intensity for a second I thought he could see into me like I could him.
"Are you ok?" He breathed. I nodded in awe. He smelled like the air right after it rains in the summer, sweet and calm.
Who was this kid? He's saved me twice now. He reached out to touch me and I let him. Not out of fear like Felix but because I saw that I could trust him completely. His hand was soft and gentle as it moved from my cheek to tangle in my hair.
He leaned in slowly, his breath smelled of human blood yet my throat didn't burn. His lips brushed mine and he paused, waiting for me to respond.
What am I doing? I don't know this guy. I didn't even know his name! I've seen him once before this and I'm about to let him kiss me? He could be crazy and for all I know he was sent here by his bosses to kill me. But he did save me… twice.
(HERE) I took in a breath and pulled away.
"I'm so sorry." I whimpered.
The boy stood there in a mixture of shook and confusion. He took a moment to compose himself.
"I should be the one apologizing, I just… got ahead of myself." He swallowed hard and his jaw twitched.
He turned his head away from me clearly angry with himself. Yep he might be crazy, but even crazy vampires that save people deserve thanks. I took a deep breath and stood up on my toes to kiss him on the cheek. He was a good foot taller then me, then again everyone seemed a good foot taller then me.
It was light and quick but it seemed to be enough. Alec's face light up and a crooked smirk appeared on his face.
"Thank you, for saving me... sir?" His laugh was like wind, so light and carefree.
"You can call me Alec." His laughter died down. "And you're welcome-"
"Gwen."
"Gwen." The way he said it sent chills of pleasure down my spine. We stood there for a moment in silence.
"um, I have to find my way home now." I announced. "Bye Alec." And I ran.
"Bye dove." His whisper floated through the trees after me.
I turned to wave but he was already gone. After a few minuets of running I slowed to a stop. I stood there for a moment giving my brain time to process all that's happened so far this evening. It was a lot to take in.
I began to walk in the direction home was. Taking my time as to have more to think of Alec. As I got closer to the house I realized how much trouble I could be in. The list of punishments I had thought of earlier seemed like a mercy compared to what Edward could've cooked up.
All too soon I was standing in front of the front door. I could hear movement inside but couldn't quite tell where every one was in the house. I took a step to go in and winced at the loud creak the door made. Everything went quiet.
