*Warning! Warning!* Loooooong chapter! Three POV's, five hours, don't know how many words. Not really counting. Haha, okay so happy Labor Day weekend! I didn't go anywhere, I'm just stuck to my computer which is fine with me. Lolz. Okay, well I desided to make this chapter long, instead of short and making it into two chapters. I didn't wanna loose it. Another thing, I was listening to this song called 'Runaway' by the 'Yeah Yeah Yeahs' and it made me think of this story. Not sure why. Well anyways, I really liked it so I named the chapter 'Runaway' after the song. Go check it out, it's really good:) Okay, Onward!

Chapter 9-Runaway

Maddalena POV

My first thought was to go and get Joanna.

I ran so fast everything around me was only a blurr, no colors, only dark blue because that was pretty much what everything was colored in the seweres. Pale blue bricks..that was what everything was made of.

I shook my head out of that thought, consintrating on Joanna. I past by where we kept the prisoners and I smelt her. I litterly skidded to a hault and stared at the door, confusion on my face. The door was cracked open, and I opened the rest of it.

Joanna was leaning against the wall, arms folded across her chest. I looked to where her gaze was.

The half breed's eyes were as dark as a moonless night. Her skin was as pale as a full moon, and her hair was as dark as my hair was white. Her lips were in a tight line, and she was gripping the bars on the cage, clinging to them.

She was going insane.

I jumped as a shrill screech came from the other girl. She was reaching out towards Joanna, fingers curled as if she wanted to kill her, which I wasn't surprised. Her arms were out of the cage, and she continued to wail a few more seconds until she gave up and curled her arms around the bars, over her torso. Her breaths were deep hisses, her eyes as black as Nickoletta's.

I shifted my gaze to her, and walked a little closer. The newborn yelled again, a sound that no human could make, as I approched them. "Careful," Joanna warned. Not to me, but to her. The half breed kept her eyes shuttered, casted down to the floor. I knelt down beside her, a few feet away where she couldn't grab me.

"Still have hope of esacping?" I asked. She didn't answer, then she replied in a small, broken voice. "Hope is a dangerous addiction...," I crooked my head. "So is that a yes?" She slowly turned to me, and I saw three slashes down the left of her face. I glanced at the vampire she shared a cage with, and saw skin shards on her nails, but no sign of injury.

"I don't hope," She said as blood dripped from the slashes to her bottem lip. "I wait." She sucked on her lip, and shut her eyes.

I don't hope, I wait. So did that mean she knew someone was coming to get her? No, not possible. She couldn't have told anyone she was being taken. Then again...I wasn't going to let my gaurd down about it.

Maybe that's why she didn't attack the newborn back. She didn't want to get into a fight, for they would both die. She wanted to stay alive for a reason.

"What would your mate do if he saw you like this?" I asked trying to get any sort of evidence he knew she was here. Joanna told me Alec of the Volturi was her bonded. Nickoletta chuckled. "Kill you," She answered simply. "And don't try that 'I'll kill him if you don't' crap. Cause you can't."

"Oh, I know that," I said smugly. "It's just that...wouldn't it send him over the edge? He might try a stunt maybe of your death?"

"No," She said softly. "All he would do is kill you. He's smarter than to kill himself for me. It's stupid." I stiffed a laugh. "Really?" I asked. "Really..," She replied. "And no, he doesn't know I'm here. Your going to have to be more clever than that."

My eyes narrowed into slits, and her battered up lips went into something of a smirk. I hissed as I stood up. "Are we going to keep them?" Joanna asked. I opened my mouth to answer-

'Maddalena!'

Oh for the love of God. 'Yes Draco?'

'It apperes we have a few unexpected guests that will be arriving soon.'

Oh no. 'Who told you that?'

'Corbin.'

Corbin...had read my mind..he would tell Draco I had lied to him.

'We will be travling to the west now, we will have to surface for a few minuets to be able to get to the other sewers. Be ready in ten minuets. Take nothing.'

'What about the prisoners?'

'I'm sending some gaurds now.'

'We can't take them!' I shouted back. 'Are you insane?! There's no way-'

'Shut up!' I obayed with a growl. 'Both of them are to weak to use their abilites. Now get Joanna and meet me above with the others in nine minuets. Understand?!'

I sighed. 'Yes, Draco.'

Joanna looked up at me with wonder in her eyes. "We have to leave. Come on, Draco's waiting for us."

"Where are we going?" She asked as she took my hand.

"West. We will have to surface for a little while, but it's still dark, so we will be fine."

"Why are we leaving?" She asked quickly. She never liked moving.

"We have a few problems coming are way. Draco wants to leave so...so we will be safe." So he will be safe.

Joanna looked at Nikkie and the Newborn, who both shared a quick glance before looking back at us. "Your coming too," I told them. "It would be better for you if you go peacefully, but I'm pretty sure that won't happen." I muttered.

Nikkie huffed. "Guess I can't ask where we're going?"

"No."

"Didn't think so..."

I took Joanna's hand and when I opened the doors, six guards held big thick chains. We used those so we could travel easier, no delays with prisioners. The Newborn whimpered and scooted back to the back of the cage. "You'll be fine," Nikkie muttered. "Just stay still." She shot me a dark look before I exited. I shuttered at the look. It said, you'll pay for this.

And it looked like she meant it.

Nikkie POV

Six gaurds-One lady, five as big as Felix, if not bigger-walked into the cell. I was so weak...I could hardly move, there was no way I could take them down. The effects on those chains that made my powers unable to work still had an effect on me. Not to meantion I had been beatin' to a pulp and attacked by Scarlet.

I couldn't blame her. She was a newborn, who hadn't had blood in a few hours. I remember how bad mine and Alec's blood lust had been. We killed countless number's of people some nights. Having to leave the city because of the population decrease. I hadn't killed any humans ever sense I met Max. However, even I could only go so long. And even a shrimpy little old man was looking delicous in my mind right now...

Carlisle had taught me, Elena, and Ysabelle a few things about how to handle blood lust. I would have to thank him. Those tips had came very handy in my time here, plus my own experense.

I could go a while without blood, but not phasing. I wasn't a shape shifter like the wolves at La Push. I was a real werewolf. I had to phase. I had already gone without one full moon...I wouldn't last another.

If I choose to phase right now...I just might be able to get out of this cell. The energy burst of phasing would give me enough stanima to run out of here, maybe even use my power. I glanced at Scarlet, who was scared to death, as if she was staring it right in the face.

Crap. I couldn't leave her in here. She didn't have a prayer. I sighed, and shut my eyes. If we were being moved, I knew there would be no evidence where we would be going. Max wouldn't find me. Nobody would. Not even Alec. He would have to live his eternity not knowing if I was dead or alive...alone. I wanted to cry for the sight of that.

I swallowed a lump in my throat. Max would feel like a failure..I knew the word 'quit' wasn't in her vocabulary. Living her short human life feeling like that. And Elena and Ysabelle..my sisters, my life. Myra and Alize...Elena and Ysabelle told me when I had been the Volturi's 'pet' as they called it, Myra always asked when Nikkie was coming home. Alize had gave me the biggest hug I had ever been ingulfed in when I had lived through the battle with the Volturi in Forks. She reminded me of my mother so much, and that's what I thought of her as.

All those people were my reason for living. Without them, I had no reason for living. I just had to stay alive for them. Find some way to tell them where I was. They were my prize. Live through it, they were my prize at the end of this supermassive black hole. How could I make them find me?

Then it hit me.

Bloodtrail.

As one of the gaurds pushed me onto the hard cold ground, blood spat out of my mouth. I didn't have a lot of blood as it was, but it was something that might work. Kinda nasty, but managable. My wrist were snapped into the brass cuffs that weighed me down so bad it made my back ache as my hands laid on it.

My feet were in chains before I knew it, as were my neck. It felt like a building was on top of me. "How she gonna walk idiot?" I glanced up at the dark haired vampire holding Scarlet by her hair as he locked her neck in a brass colar. She looked at me nervously, and I mouthed, "Your okay. Just don't move." That was the only chance she had at not being injured more than she was by how bad they were treating her.

"Corbin," Maddalena stood in the doorway, looking towards the dark male vampire. "Could I see you for a moment?"

"Yes ma'am," He replied with a smirk as he followed her out the door. One of the garuds muttered something to the other ones, making them chuckle. Okay..

I was pulled up by my arms. The five gaurds in front of the one holding me up roamed over me. I crooked my head and then realized what they were looking at. I spat in the nearest one's face. The others laughed as he whipped it off, a dark look in his eyes. He punched me in the face, blood coming from my mouth. Again.

"Geeze, the witch is shaking from that one!" The blond woman laughed crossing her arms. I had been acused of witch craft before, I wasn't gonna take it again. I had nearly lost my life the first time. That acurasation had turned me into a vampire..for my own good. Sorta.

"I'm not a witch, bitch." I growled. She chuckled. "Your the bitch, dog." She replied smugly as she opened the cell door for us. I was pushed by the huge vampire behind me, and I walked slowly and painfully into the hallway, surrounded by them all as the woman shut the door roughly behind us.

Maddalena was behind them, pushing the wall. The pannel pushed back into it roughly, and I heard almost a squishing sound. Maddalena turned her ruby eyes towards us, and walked before us, not saying a word. All of them shared a confused glance, but shrugged as I was pushed on and pulled by a chain like a real dog. It made me sick. I heard a pop sound and looked back to see the pannel open.

The head of Corbin rolled out, hitting my heals. My breath went shakey at his eyes-wide with shock. That was gonna give me nightmares, but I continued to walk.

It was so dark. All the torches and lanterns were out. Scarlet glanced nervously at me, she was standing in front of me. I gave her back a little nudge-telling her I was there. She sighed shakily, and turned her head back.

Time for the stupid-but-possibly-able-to-work-insanly-stupid-and-non-healthy-plan.

Here we go.

I bit my lip as hard as I could. It split open, and blood dropped to the floor, and I walked over it, dragging my feet, making the blood go from drops into long strips on the floor. I waited until we went to a four way hallway, that reminded me of a maze.

I took my arm and rubbed it against the hard as nails wall, making my arm have many little dots of blood on my arm. I grazed it silently across the hallway we went down. I did this a few more hallways until my arm throbbed. I needed to think of something stronger than the scent of blood. It was everywhere here. Besides the blood, I needed something that would stand out of all these smells.

I heard one of the vampries hiss at Scarlet as she pulled on the chains.

Ding ding ding. Venom.

That was probably even crazier, but I was in survival mode, and it was all I could do. I inheld deeply and thought about the most tastiest thing I could think of. It was sort of like when a human thought about junk food, when it made their mouth water with saliva.

Only I was thinking of humans, which made my mouth water with venom. It dribbled from my lips to the ground and I drug it with my feet. This would also tell them that I wasn't getting any blood, and the lack of wolf hair would tell them I wasn't phasing. Man, I was smarter than I thought. Or more despret. I was going with despret.

I left a trail of my evidence as long as I could. My mouth was so dry now from the lack of Venom, making my throat burn so badly it felt like being transformed again. I sighed shakily as we went up a long staircase. It was warm. And it felt so good on my bloody bare feet. The leading vampire opened a hatch, reveling not exactly light, but less darkness.

I stept out, and I was surrounded by so many vampires. They all hissed and said awful things under their breath about me. A man stepped out of the croud. The same dark haired man that had commanded those vampires to attack me. The same one that had been beating me. The same one I had attacked so long ago.

"Draco," I whispered in realization. I now reazlied why I was here. We had scarred and scared Draco, and were a threat. And he wanted revenge. He chuckled. "Ah, it's been a long time, hasn't it Nickoletta?" He said. I looked at the visable scarrs on his face. "How is your coven?"

"Un bastardo, un figlio di puttana," I spat at him. "Such language," He muttered. Maddalena, who was standing beside him, Joanna's hand in her's, glanced at the sky and said, "Draco we need to go." He glared at her a few seconds, then said something in another language I did not know.

Everyone started running.

The swarm of vampires all ran in the same direction, jumping in tree's, making leaves fly up like twisters. I was thrown onto my holder's back roughly, and he was running so fast I had whiplash, I knew it. When he jumped in tree's, I scrapped against the tree's. When he jumped down landing roughly, I kicked and scrambled as much as I could, giving any indication I had been there. I did this for about five minuet's, until we came to a stop.

I was so tired, I passed out, not knowing where I was. Not caring. I had done all I could do.

Max POV

(A few minuet's later)

It was so dark, and the only light we had was Elena's flame that danced in front of her, like a shield of fire before us.

I stayed tense, like everyone else. We were all in stelth mode, and I felt like I was making all the noise the vampires were so silent. Then a sound made me stop in my tracks.

Something..rolling?

"Oh crap," Gazzy said. I looked down at him, and there was a wire he was stepping on. The rolling sound got louder, and louder until I turned around to see a giant boulder headed right for me. I was shoved roughly out of the way, and saw that Ysabelle had pushed me out of the way, the boulder headed for her. She knelt down quickly, and her fingers dug into the bricks. The path the huge rock took vibrated, and soon enough so did the rock.

It exploded.

But no debry came our way. I looked at Bella, who had her arms out in front of her. When she put them down, I felt wind being pulled into her, but I didn't see anything. Ysabelle was huffing, and she turned around slowly to stare at the twins. "You know," She said smugly. "You could 'a told us they had boobie traps."

"That was new, actually." Jane muttered looking at the remains of the rock.

"Alec? Jane?" A female voice called from the darkness not to far away. The two vampires glanced at each other, then Alec called, "Chelsea?"

A beautiful tall woman appered out of the darkness, eyes full of worry. Chelsea. "She's not here." She told us.

My eyes got wide. How could she not be here?! I hadn't came this far for nothing! I couldn't have!

'There is always a trail of blood at every crime scene.' Voice chimed in.

'A trail of blood?' I replied. What did that mean?

'Maybe it means exactly what it sounds like. A trail. Of blood.'

Elena made the fire go on both sides of the stone wall, torches ablaze that she now lit.

This was actually a big room I was now in. It was round, and it was about twenty feet tall. "Oh my God," Esme said in aw, looking up at the hight. Wow. We were really down low. There was a breath-taking design on the rounded floor. Like swerls made into a circle. Twisted graceful lines made the walls. I looked up and saw a huge chandelier, with waxes over candles that were not lit. How could they get up there to light them? I knew vampires could jump high, but..there must have been some other way..

"Where are the others?" Alec asked his co-worker. "Searching. I waited here for all of you." Chelsea gave off a kind vibe, but I knew it was only for her friend. "Where are they?" Carlisle asked her. "Everywhere, this place is huge. I don't remember it being this big..but anyways, they're all..gone."

"Gone?" I said, thinking she had drank some bad blood, being sarcastic, or being a lier and about to get her head ripped off by your's truely.

She shifted her gaze to me, and nodded once uncomfortably almost. "Even Demetri can't find out where they went. I mean, we know her scent, but..their good." She admited. "No trail, or anything."

Trail..

"What if Nikkie left a trail?" I said. "She's sneaky," Oh did I know that. I still don't know how she got by being a double agent. Tricking me and the Volturi. "She must've done something."

"If she was strong enough," Ysabelle muttered, walking back and forth rubbing her temples. I crooked my head at her consentrated face. "What are you doing?"

"Trying to connect with Nikkie. And by the way I ain't gettin' anything...," Elena sighed and sank to the floor, her head in her hands hopelessly. "We have two possibilites."

"Which would be..?" Alice asked.

Ysabelle stared at us, and I thought I saw tears in her translusent eyes, but I couldn't tell. She just told us stright up in a broken voice, "Eathier she's dead, or she's barely hanging on."

We went silent. No. We didn't come all this way for nothing. I wasn't going to give up. I couldn't. I would search as long as I had to, even if all I found were remains.

'Alright Jeb, you are going to tell me now how I have to find her. Now.'

'I honeslty don't know where she is Maximum. Just look for the trail. Try the cells.'

"The cells," I said. Everyone looked at me with confused eyes. "They gotta have some cells in here, that's most likely where she was." I turned to Chelsea. "Have you found any?"

She thought for a moment. "I haven't, but I think someone has." She becond us to follow her and we walked behind her.

We came to a hallway with huge pannels on it in the shape of rectangles as tall as me. You could fit a body in them if they were open!

I looked forward and saw Afton and Heidi, staring down at something on the floor. "Ew," Heidi said. I looked at what she was seeing.

A man's head.

Nudge made a gagging sound and turned away. I looked to the right of me and saw a huge wooden door. I tried to push it open, but no luck. I looked at Ysabelle. She inheld and pushed the door. It flew into the darkness with a huge crash.

I ran in, and yup, Maxie was right.

Cages.

Lined up evenly, bars going up and down. Chains rested in some of them, with skeletons in them. Some hanging by their necks, their hands pulled into the brass colars. I couldn't let the kids see this. "Hey Angel, Ness, Gazzy, Nudge, why don't you go and wait in the hallway? Maybe you can find something?"

"Like the other parts of that dude?!" Gazzy said excited. "Cool!" The girls all said ew, but walked out with him. I glanced at Bella and she mouthed, "Thank you." I nodded, and looked around some more.

The middle cell was open, fresh blood on the ground and on the bars. "Oh my God," Elena whispered. I didn't realize she had walked in the cell. She touched the bars, blood dripping off her fingers. "This is her's."

I huffed a laugh and a smile. It probably wasn't a good thing that we found Nikkie's blood, but at least she had been here. Rosalie sniffed the air. "A vampire shared that cell with her." Oh no.. "Well we'd find something probably," I told them walking over to the corpse hanging by the ceiling. "I highly doubt she's Bones over here."

"Do you think they took her with them?" Fang asked looked at the cage. Bella shrugged. "They must have, I mean you don't think they let her go, do you?" She looked up at Edward, and he shook his head.

"He want's revenge on her," Elena said to Ysabelle. "That's why he took her in the first place. He wants me and you." The blind girl looked down expressionless. Elena turned to us. "Max, Carlisle, Embry, Seth, and Jacob, your familes don't have to do this. Nikkie would understand, she doesn't want you getting hurt for her. All he wants is the three of us, not all of you."

"We're going with you Elena," Embry said. "We came this far, we ain't turnin' back." Elena looked at me, and I nodded with Carlisle. Ysabelle huffed. "Your funeral," She warned us. I knew she had good intentions of trying to scare us. I think. She chuckled at my thought.

I thought for a moment, and rubbed my head. Okay, a trail. A trail of blood. Trail of blood, trail of blood...I looked at the blood on the bars. A few drops went out the door, and I stared at them intently. From the corner of my eye I saw Fang watch me, and he casted his gaze down to the droplets. I followed the dots, walking out the door, not watching where I was going, just following the trail.

The dots of blood went into long red ribbons of blood. I continued to walk with it, until it stopped. I looked up, and I was at a four way hallway.

"Uh, what's she doing?" Heidi asked.

"Being Max," Fang said amusment in his voice.

I took a torch stick and held it out to Elena, who had been following me. She automatically lit it for me. "What is it Max?" She asked patiently. I turned the torch to the hallway on my left. Grazed blood. Her eyes went wide, and I went up the hallway.

I went through a few more hallways, until the trail stopped. "Now what," I thought out loud. I looked on the ground, and saw some clear stuff that looked like water.

"Venom," Jasper said.

Wow she was really desprite to be found to use her own blood and venom to make a trail for us. Or really crazy..no I was going with desprite.

Elena and Ysabelle were leading the way now, going ahead of us quickly which made me almost have to run to keep up, everyone behind us.

We came to a stair case, with an open hatch at the end. I was surrounded by the darkness of woods. How far had we come?

'To get the prize,' Voice told me. 'You have to go through the maze.'

You know I really wish I could trade my voice for a more descriptive voice sometimes. Like buy one on Ebay or something.

"Fresh trail," Edward said.

Elena and Ysabelle took of their jacket's, and with a burst fur covered their skin, and a white wolf and orange wolf stood before me.

"They can track her better," Angel told me.

"I'll go get the others," Chelsea said walking towards the hatch. "You all go on ahead, we'll be right behind you. Demetri can track you." Then she was gone.

Elena and Ysabelle took off that second, noses to the ground, but still in a run. I snapped my wings open, and flew ahead of them with my Flock, searching the dark ground for any sign of anything. I caught a flash of movement a few hundred yards ahead. I looked to Angel, speeding up. "Angel, tell them we got something," I looked back to the sight, and flew at the speed of light towards the movement.

I crashed into it, and it made a gasping sound. I landed on it's back, and held it down. I cocked my head back and saw Fang land. "Fang!" I called. I looked back at what I was on, and saw that it was a woman. She had long blond hair, and had skin as pale as paper. Vampire. Fang grabbed her arms, and we both held her down.

When the others arrived, rather quickly, Elena and Ysabelle growled and snapped at the vampire. "Who are you?" I demanded. "Navarah," She rasped out as I held her neck tightly. "You one of the Lessers?" She didn't answer.

Ysabelle had enough; she jumped forward and bit her foot.

Navarah yelled in pain, and shook in my arms. When she opened her eyes, she gave a short shrill scream when she looked at Alec and Jane. She looked up at me, "I'll tell you!" She said. "I'll tell you what you wanna know! Please don't hand me over to them! PLEASE!"

I glanced at Fang, and he just shrugged. "You have a prisoner," Jane hissed walking closer. "She's the hyrbid you have. Know her?" Suddenly Navarah yelled in pain. She sobbed tearless, and nodded. "Yes! Yes, I know her!"

"Where is she?" Jane said through clenched teeth. Wow, that girl had a lot in her. She hadn't even touched Navarah and she was screaming bloody murder. "She's with D-Draco!"

Ysabelle growled at the name.

"Where is he?" I said roughly. "West, go west!" She told us. I looked at Fang. "Should we kill her?" He asked softly. I didn't really see any other way...I didn't wanna just kill her though.

Angel stepped forward. "You need to leave now. You never saw us. You just got lost." Navarah watched her for a moment, then her eyes went blank. She stood up. "I need to leave now," She turned around and ran in the West.

"Well she came in handy," Emmett said smirking at Angel. She smiled.

'Thanks,' I told her.

'Anytime Max,'

"Are you sure that worked?" Alec asked softly.

Angel nodded. "She has no idea what just happened. But we probably need to go."

As we flew and ran to the West, looking for any sign of Vampires or Nikkie, it slowly began to sprinkle. The sky was gray, stormy. I sighed. Oh Stormy..I hoped I would live to see her grow up, to teach her how to fly. Being a 'hero' had it's cost, I just hoped it wouldn't cost me my life.

Or anyone elses.
