Chapter 20
Ella pov.
I had just finished feeding off the mountain lion. It wasn't bad but I would not admit it out loud—especially not in front of Edward. Speaking of Edward, where was he? I knew he went hunting, but it only took me seconds to feed.
I began to walk the way I thought he went when he left me. The forest was absolutly gorgeous only letting slivers of sunlight to touch my skin. Though it was silly it reminded me of Alex. Oh, how I missed him!
I wonder what he was doing right now? Probably pleading with Daniel and Nicholas, to turn around and hunt us down. I laughed silently.
Crack.
I turned, suddenly alert. I scanned my surroundings, nobody was there. Cautiously I turned back and began to walk again, that is when I caught the scent. Just as I did smell that awful smell, three wolfs appeared in front of me. I heard a shuffling sound behind me—more wolves.
I had no chance. So I did what I did best—run.
Alex Pov.
This wasn't possible. She couldn't be alive or a vampire. Why was—
"Alexander." I swore at the soft voice behind me. I did with all my power to avoid her these past few days. I knew, though, I always knew that she would have found me.
"What do you want Catherine?" I snapped, staring coldly at the clouded sky.
"You're still angry with for leaving you and Alexandria, am I right?" She asked boldly. I was in her face.
"Do you have any clue how much you hurt us, Catherine? Do you?" I yelled. She stared at me with a calm expression. "Do you even know how Alexandria lived or died? I was there Catherine. In the shadows, I watched her, from her wedding vows to her death bed."
"Why didn't you change her?" Catherine asked, for the first time her voice trembled. "She could have—"
"A hell of a life," I finished sharply. "She was happy and I wasn't going to destroy that."
"I had no choice but to leave." Catherine whispered. "The Volturi discovered I held something unique as a human. They said if I didn't join their 'family' they would have no choice but to destroy everything that held me. I'm sorry Alex, truly I am, but I had no choice."
"That day and time I would have rather died with you Catherine." I muttered.
"We can be together now Alex," Catherine breathed, grabbing a hold of my hand. I drew her hand to my lips and kissed the back of her hand. My mind was already made up.
"I did love you Catherine, but you were suddenly ripped from my heart. I do love you, the mother of my Alexandria." I gently placed her hand at her side and stared into her eyes. "I have fallen in love again, she healed that wound, and I won't rip myself from her."
I took a step back, and another, until I turned on my hills and began running—back to my true love.
