A/N: 'Ello my lovely readers. This is a sad :( author's note. So far, I've got 519 hits, and only 5 reviews. How bad does that sound? Please give me your REVIEWS. Hits don't count a damn if I've got hardly any reviews. Fanfiction allowed you to give us writers feedback so WHY AREN'T YOU GIVING ANY FEEDBACK TO ME? I need to know whether my plot line is good, bad, OK-ish or even spelling and grammatical advice. Just PLEASE GIVE ME REVIEWS! I need them!
Disclaimer: I own only the plot line and additional characters. Picesealg :(
In the last chapter of Dangers of a College Life:
Hera showed everyone the Book of Prophecy. Inside was a riddle/poem that was supposed to lead them to the first of the ten Saviours:
The first of the Saviours that you seek,
Is closer if you do not peek.
He will be stalking you out,
Just make sure you don't shout.
One of the blood-drinkers will be chosen,And save you from your prison.
The Saviour will then join you on your quest,
And help bring the fore-coming battle to a rest.
They were all confused, so the Book of Prophecy gave another riddle:
You can save him in a jar.
A hundred of him makes a dollar,
And before you knew it,
You have enough to buy a car!
The Cullens and the Greeks soon figured the two riddles out but whilst Bella and Edward were by the window, they saw someone spying on them! They took off with the rest of the group trailing behind trying to pursuit their stalker...
That's what happened in the last chapter.

I tightened my hold on Edward's shoulder as I directed him towards an old - but gigantic - cottage. If conditions were different, Esme might almost fainted from the sight of this ravaged house. It was filthy. It had murky sludge covered walls and a red thatch roof.
Edward! Can you smell that?
Yeah. It's very strange seeing as their scent is not vampire but they've got gifts of our norm. Oh! Hold on I'm getting something. Oh they've got some sort of perfume to confuse their scent.
Uh huh. What're their gifts? I was getting more impatient by the second.
It's a coven of four. Two of their gifts are all mental so that's good and the other two are creepy. The male is able to force you to obey him. His mate is able to manipulate our thoughts but her power only influences and is not very strong. There're another two females in there. One has the power two manipulate the weather and the other - he shuddered - is able to bring the dead back to life.
I gasped mutedly. A necromancer is in there and the cemetery is just a five-minutes walk away! If we did anything to provoke them, then we're as good as dead. Suddenly, we heard the silent footsteps made by our family and the Greeks.
Edward and I both turned in annoyance with our index fingers on our lips to signify them to be silent. They ducked their heads in apology and stood behind us.
"Orlando, what did I tell you about NOT GETTING CAUGHT?" a voice came from inside the house screeched. I cringed from the sound. It sounded like someone scratching their nails on a blackboard...but feminine.
"Geez! Chill, Elana! It won't matter if they know . Otherwise we'll smell them by now," Orlando shot back and sniffed the air. "DAMN! They found me."
"See what I mean?" Elana hissed menacingly at him. "Now we have to kidnap them."
WHAT? Everyone screeched at me - including the Greeks.
"Looks like we'll have to fight to get un-kidnapped," I muttered. Instantly their coven appeared in front of the twenty of us. The male, Orlando, smirked down at us and tutting.
Time to bring in the mind controlling. I cringed and shot Bella a worried look. She understood immediately and stretched her shield around us.
Edward, pretend to go with them. Remember what the prophecy was? Apparently we're meant to go with them in order for the Saviour to come. I narrowed my eyes at her but nodded, giving into Alice's instructions.
Bella, we'll have to pretend we are under his influence. She pouted ever so slightly but agreed.
"Come," Orlando said softly. Bella, Alice and I walked forward immediately and the others quickly caught on to what we're doing. He led us into the house where a female opened a door on the floor. We were shooed in like animals. Orlando moved away as soon as all of us were in the basement. Bella immediately ran to the door to eavesdrop on our 'capturers'.
"I wonder how they managed to get twenty vampires together," a feminine voice said in a voice that could easily identify as Elena by the way her voice sounded like fingernails scraping on a blackboard.
"What if they're not vampires?" a small voice peeped up.
"Are you out of your mind, Riana?" another female's voice reprimanded Riana.
"Well, let me rephrase, some of them aren't vampires. I mean look at that black haired person. He is so tanned it's not possible for and he has a heartbeat along with that brunette with brown eyes. They can't be vampires. Duh, Selena," Riana shot back.
"Well...you've got a point there," Selena considered.
"Never mind about that! What are we going to do with them. It's not like we can set them free. They'll just go yo the Volturi and tell them about our new location," Elana snapped at the two females for their bickering.
The Volturi? Did they break the laws or did Aro want their gifts? Everyone's thoughts screamed at Edward and I. I cringed and wanted more than anything to withdraw my shield around of them, but I knew that if I do, Orlando will have full control over everyone's minds, and that will not be good.
"Maybe we can use them to defeat the Volturi once and for all. They been trying to hunt down our gifts for too long," Orlando spoke up for the first time.
I should do that. I'm sure with the load of them, we could easily overtake the Volturi and RULE THE VAMPIRE WORLD! I heard Orlando's thoughts from Edward. I panicked. He could not overthrow the Volturi. Although they were egotistic bastards, they are also the perfect people to run our world. If we let this coven be our leader, we'll most likely have a World War III but this time, it'll be on a massive scale, because vampires will be joining in. We definitely can't have that.
Edward told the others about Orlando's plan in a voice so low, the coven upstairs won't be able to hear it at all. Emmett, however heard this with perfect clarity and was flying with rage.
"HE WANTS TO USE US?" he roared, then slammed into the door with all his might. Nothing happened. We all stood there, with our eyes wide open. How could that happen? What is this door made of? Titanium? It was extremely baffling. Even the Greeks had no idea of what happened. But the noise Emmett caused seemed to attract our capturers.
"Tut tut. I don't know how you managed to break my influence, but you did. But I'm not impressed that you tried to escape. You see, our basement is made by a material that only the Gods can break down. So, goodbye," Orlando appeared in the doorway with a smug smirk. But what he doesn't realise, is that we have three one-hundred percent real Gods with us. As soon as he was gone, everyone turned to Hera, Zeus and Artemis.
"I guess I'll do it," Artemis brought out her arrow and sliced through the shut door. Again, nothing happened. "How-? Didn't he say the Gods can break it?" Artemis stared, gaping at the intact door. Zeus then nudged her aside and brought out a lightning bolt and tried to slice through the door. Nothing happened as well. Lastly, Hera decided to give it a go. She summoned two snakes onto her hand and instantly, the two gigantic, green snakes were on her hands. She let them loose onto the door, but no matter how much they chewed and gnawed and wrapped themselves around the door and squeezed. But nothing happened.
"Ugh! He was lying to us!" Rosalie shrieked and pounded the dor again and again whilst Emmett was trying to calm her down.
"Rosalie, calm down. I will help you...all of you..." an ominous whisper ran through the air like a cold inter's breeze.
A/N: Ooh. Cliffy. Give me a PM if you think you know who's whisper it was. And sorry it took so long to post, but school's back (it sucks, I know) and I didn't have too much time to write. Please don't try and kill me. I will post the next chapter ASAP. Oh! And REVIEW! I've only gotten 5 reviews so far. It's not fair people. PLEASE! PLEASE! REVIEW! I beg of you.
