~Jane POV~
The smoke had almost consumed me when the screams stopped. My feet were hurting a lot now and I nearly screamed when cold water was thrown on my feet and the wood beside them. I jumped when I heard a feathery voice behind me. "You are safe now." I was acutely aware of the ties round my wrists and ankles loosened and taken off before I collapsed into strong and cold arms.
Alec POV
I wasn't going to cry, I wasn't going to show them emotion, I wasn't going to give up on my sister. I just looked them in the eye, our murderers. I was desperate to look strong and ready for them, even if I wasn't on the inside. I turned to my sister, she had tears rolling down her cheeks, making stain marks on her cloak. Her eyes were closed but I knew she was in pain, and not just physical.
The last time she had cried was the previous week. I had been ill and was excused from school for the day. At dinner, a group of boys had been calling her names and tripping her up. They spat at her and pulled her hair. As soon as she had come home she went straight to bed. My mother said that she was developing my illness. But after we went to bed I could her hear sobbing. I crept in her room and sat with her until her tears stopped and she was asleep. I saw the same boys in the crowd now. They were pointing and laughing at her.
My sister was my life. I have been with her every second of her life. I loved her and I would die for her. But now we were dying together.
The flames were starting to lick up my legs and burn my trousers.
I heard a few gasps from the crowd and saw many people part and let the newcomers in. There were five people emerging. They were wearing floor-length hooded cloaks. They were gawped at once they had dropped their cloaks to the floor. They were wearing modern clothes that were all black. They were pale and beautiful. There were three at the front and then two at the sides. Then it got gruesome. They leapt at the villiagers and ragged their heads to the side. They bit into the people's necks and drank the red liquid that seeped down the collarbones. The other villiagers started to scream and run off but the human-like monsters were faster, in-humanly faster. The newcomers snapped the necks of the terrified schoolchildren and women and cowardly men. The screams came to a halt and the deadly figures walked towards us both. In the light of the dropped torches and the fire from beneath us, scorching our feet to what felt like char, their eyes glinted a milky red. I was trembling with fear and pain. A man came towards me. A million questions popped up in my head. Was he going to hurt Jane? Was he going to hurt me? What was he going to do with us? But these questions were left unanswered as he tipped a bucket of icy water on my feet and extinguished the flames. He picked up another bucket and poured it on my twin's delicate but blistered feet. She shivered slightly. I noticed another man behind her. He leaned forward and whispered in her ear, while unwinding the bounds around her at inhuman speed. The man with the bucket caught her as she nearly fell to the ground. He pulled her on his back and walked to the other three figures, wearing their cloaks once more. The man who untied Jane appeared next to me ripping the strong ropes off me. I fell to the ground and lay on the floor as this monster that can only be described as a vampire walked up to me and stared at me with his milky gaze.
A/N- Hey guys, thanks for the reviews and comments. Hope this chapter was good enough for you, it was a little harder writing in Alec's point of view. Review please ;D . Thanks a lot, Ness-Cullenxxx x x
