What was I going to do? The wolves were not providing me with an opening to get at the girl, and I couldn't force myself through them, that would be suicide. He wouldn't want me to throw away my life senselessly. Even that thought set the edges of the hole off, throbbing, waiting for me to break.
I've learned to not think of him, to block out the memories, because the accompanying pain is crippling, and sooner or later I wouldn't be able to do what's needed. I can't afford to lose sight of my goal now. The girl has to die.
I studied my surroundings, noticing that I wasn't anywhere that I recognized. I sniffed the air experimentally, and I could smell the salt of the ocean a few miles to the east.
I sat down on a rock to contemplate my options. I could attempt to rush the wolves, but that plan was too risky, so I quickly disregarded it. I was getting tired of trying to wait for the wolves to slip up. They were much better than I had anticipated.
All of a sudden, I heard an ear-piercing scream coming from the ocean. I would recognize that scream anywhere. Fear gripped me.
"What if I'm too late? What if she's dead by the time I get to her? What will I do?"
These thoughts took a portion of a second to run through my mind, then I was off running as fast as my immortal legs would carry me. If I was too late, I would fall to pieces completely. I swam so fast that water was arcing away from me.
But as fast as I was going, I still wasn't faster than him. I watched him dive after her while the black one stood by the beach. Damnit, I had been refused again. This time it hurt though, to know that I had been so close to her, so close to my goal.
The only thing that I could do was float there and watch as he dragged her to the surface and then to the beach. I was startled to see that she had looked in my direction, and I kicked my legs to take me slightly above the surface. I wanted her to see me, I wanted her to know that I was still out there, that I was coming for her.
For now, I had to get away from here, before the wolves spotted me and it came to a fight, one that I knew that I wouldn't be able to win. Maybe if it had been one of the lesser experienced ones, but against the two that were the most powerful and the most experienced, I didn't stand a chance. My day would come, I promised myself, it had to, the universe owed me that much.
Three days later:
It had finally come.
After months and months of waiting, my chance at revenge had finally come. The wolves had made their mistake, and I was going to throw it back in their faces. I finally had my chance to get through, and I was taking it.
Some part of my mind, a very, very quiet part, wondered if I was running straight into a trap, but I quickly silenced it. I was going to let nothing get in my way.
I had finally entered Forks. I could smell her everywhere, and I followed that scent like a dog on a leash. I was so close to her home when a scent that I'd never thought that I would smell again pervaded my senses.
Cullen.
DAMNIT! They must be back, and I know that little bitch told them about me. I no longer knew what to do. James would be so disappointed at me.
James.
I sunk to my knees, the hole roaring its glee. I made no attempt to close it, because there wasn't a point. I knew the wolves were coming.
I knew that I had walked into a trap, but I didn't care. I no longer had any reason to live. I would never get to the girl with the wolves and the vampires guarding her.
But wait. Back when the bronze haired Cullen was "tracking" me, I had run across a Southern coven. Down there, they used newborns to fight for them. Whole armies of newborns. A plan was beginning to formulate in my mind. A plan that I was almost positive would work. I took off running faster than I ever had before.

Please let me know what you think of this chapter. If I get any reviews at all, I will try to write the third chapter. It's going to be a very complicated chapter to write, so I'm going to need some time.
