Chapter 11: Cornered
BPOV (Bella)
I backed away from the window and sat down next to Charlie the baby cradled in my arms.
"So… what's a newborn anyway?"
Charlie asked me. I was about to answer him when…
"We are the ones sent here to kill you. We have a bloodlust like no other vampire. We cannot control it."
A mysterious male voice said. I turned towards the door and watched a dark figure walk out of the corner. I placed the baby closer to my body and held on to her tight.
"Who are you?"
I asked in a nervous voice. The figure smiled wickedly and moved slowly towards us.
"Tarnyx. What a beautiful baby girl. Is she yours?"
He asked me looking down into my arms. My breathing became rapid and I snuggled my niece closer to my chest…
"She's mine, and you better not touch either of them!"
I turned around and saw Rose along with the rest of the Cullen's. She ran towards me, and took the baby out of my arms. The next thing I knew, Edward had already placed me and Charlie on his back.
"You better close your eyes dad."
I warned him before hiding my face in Edwards shoulder blade. Charlie closed his eyes and Edward flew out the window. Edward took a short cut through the woods, and up the mountain to the meadow. He stopped there and let us off. Edwards cell rang and he pulled it out of his pocket.
"Yes Alice?"
He asked. Edward was quiet for a moment, and then hung up the phone.
"Tarnyx is headed this way. We have to get the both of you out of here now. Alice is bringing the baby and she will follow us."
He spoke to us. I felt a cold rush of air on the back of my neck and I turned around to see Alice cradling the baby in her arms. She gave us a quick smile, and we were off again to find safety in the woods or somewhere else…
