Chapter 11

EPOV

As I realized the extent of my terrible actions, I must admit that I panicked. The moment I hit that wall, something hit me. Tanya. She had broken up with me. And I had wanted her back. But I was wrong. I was wrong to think that I could change. I was wrong to think that she would take me back, that she would want me back.

I was also wrong to think that once I carried out those terrible deeds that they would just give her back. They were evil, maniacal animals. They were not capable of love or care. They only worried about themselves, their own wants and needs.

"Alice," I said, pleading. "Please, help me save them. What's going on? Where are they taking her? Are they hurting them?"

Alice closed her eyes and turned towards the window, sighing. A minute later, she opened her eyes, trying to suppress a scream. She was obviously terrified. "Edward," she said hesitantly. "They're going to kill her. And Tanya won't do anything about it. She's there. They let her go, but she is going to watch Bella die."

"Alice, we have to save her!" I practically screamed.

"But we don't have any help!"

"We will. I didn't tell you. Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie, they were captured. They didn't just leave. They knew you would hardly check up on them, and so they left. But they were caught."

"If we weren't rushing, I could kill you!" I smiled at Alice's angry expression.

"Come on!" We ran to the car, and I motioned for Alice to drive. She knew the way. But she shook her head.

"We have to run," she said.

"Okay," I sighed, and we took off.

They were walking toward me, licking their lips. They were oddly slow for vampires. I looked towards Tanya, hoping she would help me, but she just shook her head. Why? What was wrong?

Suddenly, the metal doors hiding the only entrance into the dark room were torn off their hinges and thrown into the petrified group of bloodthirsty vampires before me. Alice came in first, followed by two, no, three muscular guys and a girl. I could tell they were related, even if it was not by blood. Three of them were in servant's robes, two guys I had never seen before and the girl. Edward's velvet voice rang through the room.

"Let her go!" he yelled.

"You can have your precious Tanya," Laughed Laurent, "But the human is ours."

"We don't want Tanya, she is safe!" This time it was Alice's voice. "We want Bella. You have no right to hunt and feed here. This territory belongs to us!"

Victoria burst out laughing, and Laurent just smiled. But James shook his head and walked toward Alice. "I agree. I'm so sorry. For everything. I was stupid, I didn't think. Please, let me help." He begged and Alice nodded.

"Welcome to the team," she said. They ran towards Victoria and Laurent, all six of them, and attacked. It was three to one, but they all fought long and hard. I suddenly heard a loud noise and turned to see Tanya ripping the paper off of the walls. She threw it in a pile on the floor and set it on fire.

As the paper burst into flames, body parts flew across the room to fuel the fire. First Laurent's head, then Victoria's. Arms and legs were thrown in next. Then the last of their torn bodies were tossed in, and they were consumed by the fire.

"Edward!" Tanya ran across the room and into Edward's arms. As they all celebrated their enormous victory, I sat and watched, bound to the chair and once again gagged.

Then there was someone behind me, freeing me. As my hands were set free I yanked out my gag, rubbed my raw, sore wrists, then bent down to untie my legs. I stood up and turned to see who had set me free, but no one was there.

I walked towards the group of vampires in celebration, congratulating each and every one of them in turn. The three vampires I didn't know turned out to be Rosalie and Jasper Hale, brother and sister, and Emmett Cullen, Edward and Alice's brother. I then realized someone was missing.

In a secluded corner of the room James sat cross-legged, his head in his hands. I walked over to him cautiously. He was crying.

"I'm so sorry," he said between sobs. "I was wrong. I never thought it would be like this!"

Cautiously, I put my arm around him. "I forgive you," I assured him. He turned and hugged me, and then we went to join everyone else.

When I got home, I explained everything to Charlie, or at least I told him the fake story that James and Edward came up with. He bought it, and we went back to our normal lives, or at least he did. I was glad, though. With no evil vampires chasing me and trying to kill me, life was pretty good.

Alice and I were great friends, and Edward and Tanya were finally back together. As for James and I, well, that's a story for another time.

Well, that's it! Sorry it's so short, but hopefully I'll be writing a sequel! But I must admit, this turned out pretty good for my first story! Please review, I love to hear from everyone! Look out for some more stories!!!! In many categories as well! (Phantom of the Opera, Harry Potter, etc.) Thanks for reading!!!!! =) ~: (^_^) (^(..)^)
