Sorry, sorry, sorry! I started school a few weeks ago and finally got my flashdrive back so…

Tight Embrace

Jane stood frozen for what felt like an eternity before letting a menacing snarl slip through her teeth. Everyone was shaking violently, the wolves looking between me, Collin, Embry, and the Volturi with apprehensive eyes.

Leah watched me with a stony expression, her eyes flickering with different emotions but she refused to react other than that.

"What are you doing here?" Jane hissed, her gaze moving to me before looking back at her threats. I let out a shaky breath, was it really only a day ago that I was normal, that all of this was just something in a book? Suddenly I was pulled back a few feet, I glanced back and saw Collin with a worried expression on his face, his eyes trained on my mine.

Neither of us said anything, but it was almost like we didn't have to. He was worried about me, by the way he continuously glanced at Jane it implies that he's worried that she's going to try taking me. It's obvious that the others aren't going to let her though, unless they're only here for Collin and Embry.

I felt someone's small hand grip my wrist, feeling like a steel vise, "She is coming with us, whether you want her to or not," Jane hissed from beside me, roughly tugging my arm, pulling me towards the plane.

Collin grabbed my other hand, his hold much softer then Jane's and tried pulling me closer. I winced when I felt Jane do the same, except she pulled harshly in a frustrated manner. I bit my lip to keep from crying out, when did this become a game of tug a war?

Jane hissed and I looked over at her, seeing a look of concentration and determination slip through her normally bored and uninterested mask. She snarled and pulled harder, a small whimper escaping my lips when she did. A few of the wolves phased, unable to control their anger, the sound of shimmering air spreading around us as I flinched.

Growls and snarls filled the air and I bit my lip nervously, knowing that blood was going to be shed if this went any further. I looked over at the guards and saw different emotions on their faces, boredom, annoyance, confusion…

On the boy who looked like he could be Jane's twin there was a mix of emotions, annoyance, confusion, understanding, and a slightly guilty look in his eyes. After a few seconds a girl came running out of the trees and watched him with angry eyes, the boy seemed to shrink under her gaze but a protective glint came into his eyes and he walked over to her hastily.

She crossed her arms over her chest tightly and glared at him, taking a step away when he reached out for her. He sighed and looked down at her,

"What are you doing here?" he asked her softly, reaching out to stroke her hair. She stepped back again and continued glaring,

"You lied," she muttered angrily, rolling her eyes and glancing around at everyone, "Let me guess, you're part of the cause?" she said sarcastically, as if she already knew the answer.

The boy shook his head slightly, never taking his eyes off of her, "No," he put his hands on her shoulders and turned her so she was facing him.

The girl reacted by jerking away from him, clenching her teeth and looking away. The boy frowned and brushed his fingers across her cheek, she flinched in response.

Everyone was watching them, not looking away. I glanced back at Collin and he had a nervous look,

"She's human," he whispered in my ear. I nodded slightly, never taking my eyes off of them.

"Alec, you lied," the girl hissed, emotion surging in her eyes, hurt and anger. Alec shook his head slightly, his expression emotionless.

"We cannot discuss this right now," he told her in a serious tone.

The girl only scoffed and rolled her eyes,

"Don't expect to talk to me about it later," she muttered bitterly. Alec sighed and shook his head.

"We will talk later," he told her seriously, watching her with an intense gaze. The girl simply shook her head and walked closer to some of the wolves that had phased. Her fingers grazed their fur and they stood frozen.

"I'm sorry if they're being mean," she mumbled, honesty in her voice. Brady, who she had been petting nodded slightly before glancing at Sam, seeming confused. It was obvious that they were communicating but the girl didn't seem to mind.

She looked over at Embry and smiled, "It's been a long time since I've seen people who were actually alive…" she trailed off, Alec came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her with a growl. She sighed and rolled her eyes.

"If they were going to hurt me they would have done it already," she muttered, squirming to get out of his arms. Alec let her go, looking surprised as he watched her walk up to me, tilting her head to the side curiously.

As she walked up to me I noticed more about her, hazel eyes, green and brown mixed together, long, dark brown hair to the small of her back with freckles dashed across the bridge of her nose. She was thin but not in an unhealthy way.

"You should leave," she told me quietly. I nodded slightly and glanced at the Volturi, knowing they wouldn't willingly let us leave.

The girl sighed and turned around to face them, something felt wrong with letting a human girl go with them but I could only watch, not understanding what she was doing.

"Take me back," the girl told them, her arms crossed over her chest tightly. Alec blinked a few times, a look of shock overtaking his face before he hid it. He looked over at us, his anxiety showing slightly. He pulled the girl closer, she didn't look too happy about it but she let him hold her without saying anything.

Alec started talking to her quietly, whispering in her ear, she didn't move or show any signs of reacting aside from a small nod. He sighed and held her a little tighter, glancing at the pack warily.

The girl's eyes met mine and she gave a small, barely visible, sympathetic smile.

"It is time to leave," Alec said in a serious voice before walking away, the girl still in his tight embrace, the others followed a moment later.

Okay, so I have officially devoted myself to writing this story, the next update WILL be up tomorrow, but I want to know your opinion, should I write some chapters in the girl's POV? She is a character that I thought of a while back, I was stuck with this chapter because I really didn't want to kill off any of the wolves or vampires, so I decided to bring her into the scene. I think I'm going to write a story about her and Alec and what exactly happened with them…you can give me your opinion on that too if you want to… :)

I think that's about it, at least until tomorrow.

Thank you to everyone who reviewed too!
