Disclaimer: Nope Twilight isn't mine, BUT I WANT IT
I had no time to get my bearings, because about 3 quarters of a second after I had launched myself through Bella's bedroom window, I was thrown straight back out. Victoria had seen me follow her. I hid the ground with a thud but I was almost instantly on my feet again. I made another leap for the window, planning to drag Victoria out of the house, but I didn't get that far. She leapt from the window and we collided midair. She planted her feet on my shoulders smashing them into the ground. Would she try to kill me? This thought flashed across my mind, would I die tonight over the life of a human!? My question was answered for me though when rather than making to tear my head off; Victoria jumped away from me and bolted into the forest. I made a swing for her leg, but she was FAST. Once more I jumped to my feet endeavouring to follow Victoria when Esme emerged from the trees. "Rose, what happened I heard the noise? Was Victoria here? Are you ok?" her voice was breathless with fear. "Yes" I finally managed to spit out, "she came to the house. I caught her just after she jumped into Bella's window, but she saw me and threw me out again." Esme's eyes widened, "is Charlie in the house?" This question had me temporally stumped; I had been thrust into a fight so quickly I had, had no time to check whether the house was occupied or not. "I don't know" I answered after a moment, "I'll check." Silently I scaled Bella's wall once more and climbed into her bedroom. I sat very still listening for the sound of a heartbeat. No, Charlie was not here. I breathed a sigh of relief, if Charlie had witnessed the mini vampire brawl that had just occurred then we would be in serious trouble. I jumped from the window and back to where Esme was standing waiting for me. "We're fine. He's not home" I said quickly. "What are we going to do now?" Esme asked me. I thought about it for a minute. We really needed to find out where Victoria had been, we had to know what she was looking for and stop her getting it. "Well……." I began "we need to follow all the trails she has left. We have to go everywhere she has been." Esme nodded waiting for me to continue. "I noticed a trail before it looked like it head to the high school." I saw Esme raise her eyebrows, "why would she go there?" the confusion in her voice became very pronounced. "Let's go and find out." I replied dryly. Esme nodded and then sped into the forest with me on her tail.
It was weird to be at the school when it was empty. The lack of the constant ramblings of my fellow idiotic students that usually followed me, made me feel somehow lonely. This confused me, I felt nothing for any of the moronic student body, there wasn't a single one of them that I liked. I supposed that it was the fact that here was a place that I got to be human, where I got to, well not fit in, but coexist with the humans around me. Now I was here alone, just as a vampire is meant to be. I sighed slightly, but otherwise showed no sign of emotion. Now wasn't the time to be crying over my existence. We were currently circling the buildings, searching for where Victoria's scent was strongest. Esme was on my left closer to the building. We had just passed the school office when Esme stopped dead, sniffing the air. She abruptly turned and dashed up to the main door. "Esme" I called. She beckoned me over with one finger. "This is where she came" Esme said in a quiet voice "but look, rather than go through the doors her scent goes to the other side of the building." Her eyebrows were furrowed in confusion, but I had already worked it out. "She didn't want to force the door" I said slowly, "it would have been evidence. She had to find a different way in. The window at the back." There was a tiny window at the back of the office, Mrs. Cope always left it open. We bolted round to the back of the office building. Sure enough the wall stunk of Victoria. "Why would she go in the office?" Esme asked, though she seemed to be speaking more to herself than me. I jumped head first through the window turning myself midair and landing on my feet. Esme copied the move and we both stood, looking. The office was very small, with both of us in there together it made it exceedingly hard to move. Every wall was covered in filing cabinets; they stretched from the floor to around shoulder level. Victoria's scent was strongest on the S-T cabinet, of course. I wrenched open the cabinet door and flicked to SW. As I knew it would be Bella's folder was saturated with Victoria's scent. Esme looked over my shoulder as I flicked through the details printed in Bella's folder, phone number, e-mail, father and mothers name, previous address and phone number, medical information. There didn't seem to be anything that would be incriminating here. I mean yes, it tell you that she used to live in Phoenix, but they wouldn't think that she'd gone home. That's why we sent her there; no one would think that's where she'd go………. I bit my lip, "Esme you don't think that they would think she went home?" Esme shook her head. "No, I'm sure that they won't suspect that." Her voice was confident, but something in her eyes told me that she wasn't being entirely truthful. "Come on" she continued, "We need to get out of here." I nodded, rolling the wait onto the balls of my feet and sprung up, grabbing the top of the window frame and going through feet first. Esme was only seconds behind me. "What now?" She asked. "Well I think we need to split up. One of us should guard Charlie, and the other should follow the rest of Victoria's trails."
"Rose, it's not a good idea to for us to split up, what if it comes to a fight?" Esme asked me, worrying again.
"One of us has to protect Charlie." I answered. I knew that Bella's father would be a risk. "I'll track her and you can watch Charlie." Esme nodded again, she knew that we couldn't leave Charlie unprotected. "Please be careful, please" se pleaded before giving me a hug. "Mom, I'll be fine. Keep Bella's father safe. He doesn't deserve to die because of his daughter."
