AN: Okay, this is the last part of the 9/11 remembrance, but the reason for it (other than the remembrance obviously) was so that these events can be brought up later. *eye wiggle*. So when the actually characters like Alice, Renesmee, and Dr. D return, who do you want to appear first? Also, I'm almost at 150 reviews. You know what that means! Double chapter! YAY!
…CONTINUED…
Random Hermit POV
"We're going to what?" I stared at this crazy Alice girl with one raised eyebrow. She was kidding right?
"We go into the building, and then we save who we can," she said slowly. As if I didn't hear her the first time!
"Uh, I'm pretty sure we'll die if we do that," I told her incredulously, rolling my eyes.
"I won't," she stated creepily, leaning closer. "I never die." She began to laugh hysterically.
"Uh…okay…" I glanced around. Was no one else seeing this? "Anyway…"
"We're going to go in there now," Alice said.
"What—"
I was interrupted by Alice heaving me over her shoulder…of course. Before I could protest that, we were rushing toward the building so fast that I could barely even see. WHAT WAS GOING ON!?
When we stopped, the flames were all around us. We really were in the building! I opened and closed my mouth, trying to ask how she had just done that, but I just couldn't get anything out.
Alice passed me a terrified lady, and I took her in my arms.
"Get her out of here."
I stared at Alice for a moment, but the wacko glared at me, pointing at the door. "NOW."
I looked down at the trembling girl and nodded, running out of the burning room as fast as I could. Thousands of stairs lay before me, but I descended them as quickly as I possible.
I almost cried with relief when I saw the lobby doors. I took no time in exiting the building, my sore feet taking me further and further. The girl in my hands gasped, and I looked back just as the sound started. It was a horrible metallic screeching. The building I had just left was falling. No, it was collapsing in on itself.
At that moment, only one thought passed through my head.
…Alice…
