Ambush:

Seth was walking home—from the Cullens—impatiently when he heard it. A soft noise, tapping repeatedly through the forest. He twisted around to the spot where he last heard it. Nothing was there. Tap. Tap. He turned, again, but again nothing was there. He began to panic as the forest surrounding him filled with the sounds of the perpetual tap.

"Hello, there," a voice, as smooth as silk but as cold as ice, said.

Seth whipped around and found a vampire, for he had bright crimson eyes and flawless skin. But none of the kindness Seth saw in Viola's red eyes was present in the man's eyes; instead they were wickedly sinister, effectively frightening Seth.

"…Hi," Seth said, his own voice guarded and fierce.

"You're a wolf, right?" another voice said, high like a child's, but held none of the innocence of a child. Seth glanced around and saw a little girl with the same ominous red eyes.

"What's it to you?" Seth asked her, trying to look directly into her eyes, but it was quite difficult.

The girl laughed; it was a sickening thing to hear.

"Got some ferocity, this one does," another voice said behind him. Seth didn't even bother to turn, but he began to formulate a plan of escape in his mind. He would change, fake right then escape left, and head back to the Cullens. He was certain they would be intrigued by this little exchange.

"Thinking about escaping, dog?" the girl asked. Suddenly he was in pain. More pain than he had ever experienced. Seth dropped to his knees, suppressing a scream. He writhed, going blind as knives so sharp pierced every part of his body. Minutes seemed to pass and still the pain would not cease.

"Hold on, Jane," the man in front of Seth said. The pain subsided. "He'll be nice. Right, dog?"

Seth stood unsteadily but said nothing. All his limbs were shaking, and cold sweat coated his back.

"You better be right, Demetrius," Jane said coldly. "Aro will be none to pleased if he finds the dog escaped."

"He won't," Demetrius assured her, glowering at Seth.

"Wait," Seth said in weak attempt to talk his way out, "you're going to kidnap me?"

The threesome laughed… wait. Seth whirled around and found another boy to his left. The boy grinned evilly, creating a chill that went up his spine. Suddenly Seth realized he was surrounded, running was now out of the question.

"Of course, dog," Jane said nastily. "Did you really think we just came for a little visit? And I thought you would be smart."

Seth looked around, trying to find a weak spot, but the four were closing in on him. Fight or flight? He decided then that it was time to fight, either way he wasn't going to die. This Aro sounded like he wanted Seth alive, so as long as that was true, he wouldn't give in without a fight.

Birds were singing in the trees around, and the day would have been a lovely one, if it weren't for the predicament Seth had unknowingly walked into. Demetrius and Jane exchanged a significant look and then they pounced. It was like watching a pair of wildcats, closing in on their helpless prey. Seth dove to the right in a flash, getting out of the vampires' way by a millimeter, and when he hit the ground he was no longer human.

Seth crouched low as the boy vampire flew over him, missing him again by a millimeter. Then he twisted around, lunged at Jane, surprising her. He took hold of her arm and ripped it from its socket. She shrieked.

"Damn," Jane muttered, trying to reattach her arm.

That's when all hell broke loose. Out of nowhere, another wolf appeared, baring its teeth viciously. Leah, Seth thought. Leah, what are you doing here?

Saving you, you idiot, Leah growled.

Tails began to fly, glittering vampires pouncing and seeking the blood that ran through the wolves' veins. Jane had still not rejoined the fight, for she was having trouble making her arm stick back on to her body.

Leah, you have to leave, Seth thought. Go find the Cullens.

Oh, shut up, Seth! I'm trying to be helpful.

Seth growled. You won't be helpful if you die.

Leah didn't answer. She simply went back to fighting. The mini battle seemed endless, but that it would end. And not too pleasantly.

"Get that dog out of here!" Jane ordered shrilly.

Leah let out an earsplitting shriek as Jane used her special ability on her. NO, Seth thought. Demetrius raked his fingers through her fur, leaving four long, deep scrapes across her back. She began to whimper.

"Kill it," Jane said venomously. Seth would not let his sister die just because she had been foolish enough to try and save him, like running away, it simply wasn't an option. He walked to his shredded clothes, turned human and dressed in his tattered jean shorts.

"Stop, wait," he said. "Leave her alone. I'll come with you."

Jane grinned. "Demetrius, leave the dog. We've got what we want."

They were all grinning like the twisted vampires they were.

"Knock it out," Jane ordered. The boy swung his hand around Leah's neck and instantly she fell limp, unconscious to the world. Jane smiled sweetly at the boy then nodded to Seth. The boy was in front of Seth in seconds, looking him over observantly.

"Quickly, Alec," Jane snapped impatiently. It was the last thing Seth heard before he fell unconscious by the hands of the boy, Alec, thinking desperately, Sorry, Vee.
