Lyn saw the man who was hiding in the trees in front of Charlie's house. And… did he lick his lips at her? Will she be his next target?
Chapter 11
For the following week I was kept under house arrest by my family. Today, though, I got lucky; it was another rare, sunny day and the most of the Cullens were out hunting. Riley had even decided to go with them. The only ones here were Bella and Esme, who were currently looking at the fabricated baby books of Nessie's. There were at least twenty books piled up on the dining room table, all of them recording Renesemee's birth up to present day. I was looking out the front window, looking for any of the Cullens or Riley.
I saw a body move quickly through the trees and I opened the front door as quietly as I could. Knowing that it was wrong to sneak out and also that I'd get skinned alive by Bella and Esme, I still did it. I took off toward the trees and followed after the figure as fast as I could.
I stopped in a small clearing; the smell of water came to me. This clearing looked similar to the one I'd come across in the forest behind dad's house, the only difference was that there were no trees that were collapsed on one another. Walking further, I stopped at the edge of a creek; the person I had been following was no longer in my sight.
Feeling as if I was trapped, I turned and began running in the direction I'd come from. As I ran I heard my name being shouted from many different voices. I knew that something was following me; I could hear the branches snapping behind me. Hoping and praying that one of my family members was near me, I began to call out to them.
"Alice! Jasper! Edward! Emmett! Rose! Carlisle! Help—" I was cut off as something hit my leg, causing me to fall to the ground. My leg began to throb as my head made contact with the forest floor. My head began to throb along with my leg and I felt something hot sliding down my forehead.
Lifting a shaky hand, I brought it to my forehead to wipe away whatever was there. When I brought my hand back into view, my fears were confirmed when I saw my fingers coated with my blood. I looked at my leg and saw a deep cut in it, almost where I'd cut it open four months ago.
My head snapped up and my eyes made contact with his; the man I'd seen. His eyes were dark crimson and I watched him lick his lips. Within a second he was by my side. He wiped at my forehead and I watched, horrified, as he licked my blood from his index finger. "Mmm… waiting for you and waiting to taste your blood was quite a good idea." He spoke in strange accent I didn't recognize.
"All those girls didn't smell as appealing as you… but they helped sate my thirst until today." I stared at him, blood gushing from my leg and sliding down my forehead, with a terrified expression on my face. I pushed myself backwards, away from him while he chuckled at me.
He was by my side in a flash; yet again. He grabbed me and pushed my head to the side. "It'll be over soon. Just one tiny, little bite and you'll join your stepfather…" his breath was on my neck and I felt teeth on my bare skin. Tears were coating my cheeks. Someone help me! Anybody! I anticipated the coming bite and heard a snarl rip from his lips.
OMG, a cliffie! Sorry about the short chapter, but I should have the next one up in a couple of days! Is Lyn going to be okay?! Will she be saved or will she become this nomad's next meal? Find out in the next chapter! Reviews are always welcome!
