Chapter 12

Without The Ankh

Bella's Point of View

It's strange, for when you run, your brain shut downs, so when you stop you have no clue where you are. This is what had happen at this moment. I have no idea where I am, but the whole in me, started to rip open as I stared at the old, abandon house that I had stopped in front of.

I stared at it and I felt as if it was staring back at me, beckoning to me to come in. it wanted me to see the secrets that it held within. The truth within.

I took a step towards it, but stopped as a cold shiver went down my spine, yet as cold as they where, they where hot too. Like white hot needles piecing my flesh. Rodriguez?

I turned around the way I had come, something was coming and it wasn't good. I broke into a sprint back towards the Cullen's house. Running as fast as the howling wind around me. I had to get there, I had to make sure.

Cullen's

They had only just got back to the house when the first of the visitors arrived. From what Jasper could understand; they were young and confused and scared, unsure of where they were and of the large Coven that they had seemingly just stumbled upon. Yet their movements as they took in the Cullen's became more stiff and direct. They where preparing themselves for a fight that they knew in their heads that they'd win. Jasper snorted, but still he wasn't sure. His gift to calm emotions wasn't working and Edward couldn't read them at all well.

Carlisle stepped forward, smiling at the large group of young ones.

They're are still so young, yet their not trying to kill each other. Jasper thought confused. Edward glanced at his brother and bit his lip. He was nervous, not just because of the rather threatening group of extremely strong young ones standing in front of them, but also because he couldn't find Bella anywhere. Isis was still in the house, curled up beside the heater, though by now she had probably smelled danger close by and was scared witless.

But Bella was nowhere to be seen, he couldn't even smell her, but then again, he couldn't really smell these young ones either. He closed his eyes. Please, please, don't be one of them, he thought desperately. Please, just come back.

"Can we help you?" Carlisle asked the group pleasantly. The group fidgeted their faces strangely blank. Jasper could no long feel any emotion from any of them.

One of the young ones, a male, maybe twenty at his change, stepped forward. He was quite musclier, though nowhere to what Emmett was. Jasper concentrated on how he moved. Yes, he was a young one, a very young one, probably the youngest one there. The rest of the group watched the male warily. Clearly they had had problems with him before.

The Cullen's watch the male move closer and closer to them, his strange golden green eyes glowed with fascination. One of the members of his group hissed at him, but he ignored them. He smiled at the Cullen's and stopped.

"Emmett." All the Cullen's hissed as Emmett stiffened, waiting, ready to attack if the male got any closer to his family.

"Emmett, NO!" Rosalie yelled as suddenly both Emmett and the young male lunged at each other.

"Emmett!"

Edward stared at his big brother in disbelief. Never had Edward seen Emmett struggle with an opponent. He then remembered the vision he had picked out of Alice's head. Yet this was different, from what Alice had seen. Bella wasn't present and the vampire Emmett was fighting was not an old one, but a very young one, but Emmett was still struggling. He and Jasper started to move in, when suddenly Emmett was thrown threw the air, crashing into a tree, making it splitter and fall crashing to the ground.

"Emmett?" Rosalie screamed in horror and ran to where he lay grounding in amongst fallen branches and bark.

Emmett sat up and placed a hand to his head. Well that had never happen before.

His other hand was curled up into a fist and a silver chain was hanging from it.

"Emmett?" Esme whispered and she bent down beside him, gently taking hold of his closed fist and prided it open. A silver Ankh with a blood red ruby in it sent fell into her waiting hand. She stared at in puzzlement, before holding it up for Carlisle to see.

"This is Rodriguez symbol." He muttered. His family stared at him for they had all heard the anger in his voice. He was furious.

"Not that this isn't interesting, but we have a problem." Alice hissed at them. They all spun around and stared in horror at the young male, who was hunched over, screaming in agony.

He threw back his head and let out a roar. His eyes grew larger and glowed like brilliant rubies in firelight. His hands became larger and clawed. His mouth was filled with razor sharp teeth. He snarled at them, looking completely inhuman.

"I guess this is the image that humans come to when they think of vampires in a bloodlust." Emmett muttered without humour.

Edward looked towards the group. They hadn't moved from where they had first stood, none of them seemed willing to go anywhere near their changing comrade. Some of them looked even scared of him, desperate to keep the creatures attention on the vegetarian vampires rather then them.

"Emmett, please don't do anything rash." Esme begged her huge son, though in her heart she knew he wouldn't listen to her. Of cause, as she expected her plead fell on deaf ears, for as soon as the words left her lips, the creature lunged itself at them. Emmett threw himself in front of them and crash into the beast.

Emmett threw the air once as one of the creature's huge claw-like hands hit him in the chest. Edward and Jasper ran forward, shoving their shoulders against the beast trying to stop it, but it was like pushing on a tall, solid brick wall.

Alice ran in, as did Rosalie and Esme, while Carlisle remained with Emmett, for great gashes had been inflicted in his chest from the creature's claws.

Suddenly there was a whooshing sound and the creature roaring in pain. The Cullen's pulled back uncertain. A great branch lay at the creatures stamping feet as it dances around in agony, clutching its bleeding head.

Another huge branch came flying threw the air, smacking the creature once again across the head.

The Cullen's spun around as did the young ones, towards the direction the branches had come. A pale figure stood close to the drive way, under the shadows of the trees. The figure reached up and snapped another great branch from the tree above, her long dark hair swinging around her face. Her golden-silver eyes glowed like the sun and the moon light combined together as one.

She swirl the branch effortlessly, her face emotionless, her glowing eyes focused only one the screaming beast, who was beginning to understand that it was being attack by more then the strange golden eyes around it.

It snarled at her and started to move quickly towards, ready to rip out her pale throat. That pale throat, from which one powerful word left her lips.

"STOP!"

The creature froze, as did all the other young ones around. The girl had their completely attention, whether they liked it or not.

The creature growled in fury.

"No, Stop." The girl ordered, still swirling the branch in one hand, holding out the other, palm held up right, making the stop sign.

The creature let out another growl and tried to lunge at her, but it was like invisible hands where holding him, so that he couldn't move.

"Your all going to go now." She ordered quietly, only now was her voice recognizable to the Cullen's.

"Bella?" Edward whispered. The girl glance at him sparingly, before turning her attention fully on the creature who was shaking against the invisible hands.

"You're rather stupid, you know." She muttered as she walked calmly past him.

"You need to take this one with you." She ordered an older male, who growled at her. Bella frowned, then looked behind him, her eyes widen for a moment, before she walked calmly to stand with the Cullen's.

"What is going on here?" demanded a new voice, fill with anger and disappointment. A tall young man, with tussled black hair stalked out of the woods, flanked by several more young ones. Jasper let out a groan. Oh great, more.

"Greetings Luke." Carlisle said, getting to his feet and walking to the front of his family. Luke nodded and bowed, as did his followers.

"I apologize for what happen, these ones," Luke gesture at the frozen group, "are still very young, as you must have guessed. Once again I apologize, they where suppose to go straight to our meeting place, but they must have gotten side track by your sent." He scowled at the group. Carlisle nodded.

"What happen to this one?" he asked, pointing at the shaking creature. Luke and the other looked at the creature with complete disgust.

"Fool." Luke muttered. He looked at the Cullen's, one by one, his eyes lingering on Bella, who was standing silently at the back, next to Alice. Their eyes met for a moment before each looked away.

"his Ankh should return him to normal." Luke sighed and held out his hand towards them. Carlisle dropped the Ankh into it. With another sigh Luke stalked over to where the creature stood and knotted the silver chain around its wrist, the Ankh red ruby glowed in the moon light as it swung back and forth.

The creature with a screamed turned from beast back to vampire man and lay huddle on the ground shaking and trembling all over.

"Get up and join your group." Luke snarled at him, and with lightening speed kicked the fallen male in the face, crushing his nose, breaking his teeth and making his eyes bleed.

Alice, Esme and Rosalie all cringed in horror of the sight.

The male crawled, whimpering, to his feet and staggered back to his group. But as they watched him, the Cullen's family could help but notice how different he now moved, slower and more human, actually his blood smelled human now. Edward quietly wondered if the young man would live the night and then felt sick to his core.

Luke turned back to them.

"We shall leave now; I once again apologize for the inconvenience they must have caused you." He and his followers bowed once more, before motioning for the young ones they left, speeding into the darkness.

"So what clan do you think beast guy was a part of? The Gangrel? Or the Nosferatu?" Emmett asked. Rosalie shot him an 'oh please, not now' look, while Edward, Jasper and Carlisle let out weak laughs.

"Well, clearly your ok, since your tongue still seems to be working." Edward snorted, then his face went solemn.

"What?" his family asked him.

"I didn't get much from them, but I did get word Alaska and an image of Tanya's family." He sighed. His family groaned.

"Anyone up for a trip to Alaska?" Emmett asked stretching his huge arms above his head.

More groans at his enthusiasm.

"You got thrown threw two huge trees and had you chest rip up, for goodness sake." Rosalie shrieked at him, hitting his newly healed chest a couple of times.

"Sorry Rose. Sorry." He whimpered

"Sorry isn't good enough, not even close." She shrieked. Her voice thick with uncontained fear for him.

"I'm really, really sorry, I won't do it again, I promise." Emmett begged Rosalie.

"You can't promise something like that when we all know that you're not going to keep it." Rosalie pointed out, though her voice had calmed down quite a bit and her shoulders had stopped shaking.

"Bella, are you ok?"

The Cullen's turned around to stare at Alice and Bella. Alice had hold of one of Bella's arms that she had crossed across her chest. Bella shook her head.

"I don't feel so good." She mumbled. Alice tried to smile at her.

"You'll be ok." She promised.

"No, really. I don't feel so good." Bella persisted, uncrossing her arms and raised a shaking hand to her neck; her fingers brushed a silver chain around her neck.

"Bella?" Edward moved towards her, when suddenly her knees gather way and she crumbled to the ground.

"BELLA!"

Author's Note: Well, that was an interesting chapter. So the Army can't be without their Ankh charms or they turn into ramaging beasts. COOL!

Oh and if you didn't get Bella's talent, she can control people, namingly those part of Rodriguez Army, with her voice.

Hope you enjoyed and Please Review! You, guys, really are the best things keeping me writing this, since at times it's so hard. Thanks. See you soon. Wish me luck on my tests (sob, sob, sigh 'I hate year 11 at times)
