Werewolves' Revenge
Chapter 4- The Werewolves' Plan
We had dissolved into silence… hours ago. Or maybe it was days. I could no longer tell. Alice and Jasper were curled around each other. I blocked their thoughts giving them some privacy. But some still entered my head. They were only of each other. I felt jealous. I wanted Bella. I wanted to hold her in my arms and know that she was okay. But it seemed never again would I do that. Never would I hold my Angel in my arms. There was a noise up above. I listened to the thoughts. I had stopped listening to the Werewolves' thoughts soon after I arrived. They held no information. But someone else was here, someone new.
I am ready The new person thought. They seemed determined, but scared. I looked at Alice and Jasper. Neither of them had noticed the sounds above, or they didn't care.
"Are you ready?" I heard one of the Werewolves say.
"I am ready to serve my people. To keep them safe." The person replied. It was a woman, young. I did not understand what she meant. Then Alice's head snapped up. I watched her vision and cried out.
The woman was sat in a corner. She was small with long dark hair that covered her face. She held in her hands a small knife that shook as she quivered. She smiled sadly before plunging the knife into a chest. Then me, Jasper and Alice attacked draining her dry.
I sat back horrified.
"Get in the corner!" I hissed at Alice and Jasper. I rushed to the corner myself and held my breath. It was the corner furthest away from the where the woman would be. Jasper looked at us questioningly. Then light came in and the woman dropped down. She looked at us.
It's true. There they are She thought.
"She scared." Jasper thought. I looked at her. She settled down in the corner, her hair covering her face. She pulled the knife out of her pocket.
"Why are you doing this?" Alice said. The woman looked at her.
"It is for the good of my people. It is to save them as well."
"But we mean no harm. You don't have to do this."
"You are not harmless. I will prove that."
"Please." Alice said looking at the woman. I took a breath. Thirst burnt my throat. Her scent was not as good as Bella's, but it had been days since I last hunted. I had needed to hunt the day I was caught.
"I'm sorry, but it's my duty." She said quietly. Everything seemed to slow down. The girl looked up to us and smiled sadly.
Forgive me She whispered in her thoughts. She grabbed the knife her knuckles turning white. Her hands trembled and a tear ran down her cheek. She turned the knife towards her chest and thrust it into her heart. I held my breath, but Jasper was not so quick. I saw his thoughts. I jumped onto him pushing him back. But as I did Alice ran towards the woman her eyes feverish. I took a deep breath to steady my hold on Jasper. It was a mistake. I lost control. I let go off Jasper and ran to the woman. I sunk my teeth into her flesh feeling the sweet warm blood slip down my throat. As the supply ran dry I sat back smiling. And then it hit me. What had I done? I looked at her Alice, her eyes slowly turning red. What had we done?
"What have we done?" I whispered standing up and stepping back.
"What have we done?" I repeated. I stood dumb stuck; all those years spent avoiding being a monster. And now I was the monster I'd strived not to be. Even when I had drunk human blood I had killed those that had done wrong. But now we killed an innocent woman.
"We didn't kill her, Edward." Alice said to me. I swung round to her.
"We still drained her dry. We did worse than murder, we befouled a dead woman's body." I cried. I walked to the nearest corner and wrapped my arms around my knees. All my years of gaining self-control were gone If I ever got out of here. I would have to start again. We all would. We knew the Werewolves' plan now. They wanted to prove we were monsters to the rest of mankind that we were killers. Killers of the innocent. If I got out I would not be able to see Bella. I would not be able to go near her. The wedding was now nothing more than a fantasy. I would never be able to be in the same room as Bella. My promise was well and truly broken.
