I DON'T OWN THE TWILIGHT SAGA! SM DOES AND I JUST PLAY IN HER WORLD!
Chapter 15: Escape
I packed money and a change of clothes in a knapsack. I waited until it was night when everyone was doing... things. Then, I snuck out the window. Tonight. Tonight was the night I was going to be free.
Alice POV
Finally. We were leaving. As we sat in our seats in the plane, I checked Melony's future. I couldn't see anything. She was deciding things too fast, always changing her plan. Was she doing it on purpose? I doubt it, but still... it makes you wonder.
Melony POV
I climbed out the window, trying to be as silent as possible. I jumped down into whatever part of the castle. Then, I took off running.
I was a good while away when I heard voices. Actually, a voice. Alec.
Bella POV
I figeted in my seat, playing with my fingers. I was seated next to Edward. Not only did that make me nervous, but I had no idea what was happening to Melony. I knwo she would never do the Volturi's diet, but you could only stand so much blood. She doesn't even like human food all that much. It's mostly pancakes and the more fancier kinds.
"Bella, calm down," Edward said soothingly.
I almost felt like I was in love with him again. But no. I wouldn't give him that chance. He was nothing to me. If he wasn't a Cullen, I would peg him as a stalker.
"Bella, please," he pleaded. "Melony is a strong girl. She'll be fine."
I glared at him. "I know. I've lived with her for a while now. I know what she's like. It would really help me if you just shut. The hell. Up. Thanks."
He was quiet after that. Thank God.
Melony POV
I panicked. How had he found me? I know the answer to that. He's a stalker. My own personal stalker.
I ran faster, willing myself to go even more faster. Eventually, I took to hiding. I hid in an alley. I pressed my back against the wall, breathing hard. I tried to quiet it.
"Oh Melony!" Alec sang. "I know you're out here. I can smell you."
Now I was hyperventilating. I took to running once more. I was almost to the border of the city. If I could just make it...
"Boo," a voice breathed.
I nearly screamed. The person--Alec--turned me around to face them.
"I found her," he called in a normal voice.
"Excellent, Alec," Aro's cheerful voice came. "Melony, I'm disappointed in you. Why did you run away?"
I didn't answer. My heart was pounding, along with the blood in my ears. I was breathing hard and fast.
"Seems like she's ashamed," Alec said.
I glared him as well as I could. I noticed we were walking. Back to the castle. Back to my own personal hell.
Alice POV
I saw Melony. She was in Alec's arms. She looked worn out. Why? Too bad I couldn't see the past.
I felt sick when I came out of the vision. I looked over to Cole, who was a nervous-wreck. Jacob was trying to calm him as best as he could. But how could you calm a wolf whose imprint was missing, who hadn't seen his imprint for days? There was no way.
"Alice," Edward said. "Was that..."
I nodded. "Yeah. It was. I don't know."
"Melony would never," he protested. "She wouldn't. She loves Cole, as much as I hate to admit it."
I nodded again. "I know. I know."
Melony POV
Alec's arm was still wrapped around my waist when he led me to my room.
"Aro says I'm to keep watch over you," he said.
I sat on my bed, not talking.
He looked at me. "Why'd you do it?"
I looked at him incredulously. "You're joking, right?" He didn't answer. "Because I hate this place. You tore me away from my family, my friends, my home. You kidnapped me. Why would I like it here? I was forced to bring innocent people to their death. I'm responsible for a little boy's death! Why on Earth would I like it here? Give me one reason."
"Because I'm here."
I glared at him.
"Get out," I commanded him. "Now. Don't come within fifty feet of me."
My power worked it's magic, and he was gone. Thank God.

Not much longer, but I'm hoping you liked it. There are only a few more chapters left, then the epilouge. And that's it. I'm not leaving until June 1st so I'll update as much as I can.
