"What were you doing so high up in a tress, Sam Chang?" Wendy growled at him as her vice grip on his neck tightened slightly. He squinted in pain as I slowly got up from the ground, still stunned that he came out of nowhere and pounced on me. My eyes never left his face, how his almond yellow eyes were making me loose my train of thought and my breath was stolen.
"I heard you coming this way. I was hiding." He said in a grunt as he tried to breathe from Wendy's grasp. I raised a eyebrow at his claim. He was trying to hide, but from what? Wendy eyed him for a moment or two, just as shocked as I was as I tried out figure it out myself in my own head.
"Hide from who?" she asked in a low tone. But Sam said nothing and I saw her squeeze her hand tighter around his neck and he squinted in pain.
"Who?" She asked again, but this time for demand was in her voice. He found his voice again as I waited on pins and needles.
"There was two of them coming after me. They've been following me from British Columbia and I've tried to get rid of them." Sam said in a rushed tone and panic was in his tone. Vampires were after him? Why was he being chased down by two vampires and from so far away. Vampires only chase each other for two reasons. One, if they have a serious reason that involves the both of them, or for pure sick sport.
"Why were they after you?" Wendy asked aloud to a more concerned tone of voice. I could tell she was wondering what was going on as well as I.
"One of them killed my maker and the other one was going to kill me but I got away and they've been chasing me ever since." Sam replied back to her and I looked behind me, just in case if there were eyes that were following our every move. The atmosphere was still, very still and that started to scare me. The mere motion that we were being watched by our own kind, it was something I never experience before.
Everything all started to happen at once, like a rush of energy bursting through a wall. Wendy and Sam were somehow separated, Sam falling to the ground on his knees and Wendy flying back into the trunk of a tree. I watched horror as her back slammed into the tree trunk, the sound of boulders colliding invading my ears. She fell to the ground and got back on her feet in a instant. Two vampires were now in the picture, one of them next to me and throwing out a arm to me.
He had brown shaved hair, shaved down to the point of almost being bald. He had rage in his eyes, that were wide and the color of dark crimson. I instantly knew then, he was a normal vampire. He drank human blood, and he hunted them down. He was the enemy in my eyes.
He grabbed my arm in a death grip, making me think of how I was going to get out of this situation. But I kicked him square in the chest in defense, seeing him flying high in the air and back on his feet about 10 feet away from me. I looked back behind me and I say Wendy fighting with the other vampire. It was mostly a blur, but I made out blond hair, that was moving around with the vivid movements along with Wendy.
They both stopped, Wendy grabbed the other vampire's throat and then I could see who she was. Her hair was very long, blocking her face as she was being held down by Wendy. Wendy looked up at me, wide eyes were showing fear and concern.
"Go, take Sam with you!" She said in a grunt as she threw the vampire girl to the ground. I was in a pickle, for the first time in my life I was stuck and confused on what I was going to do. To leave Wendy behind to handle two vampires on her own, it would be horrible to do. I knew she could handle it herself, but I didn't want to leave her. It would be the first time I would be without her since I was changed into a vampire. Then again, if I stayed here and help her I wouldn't be able to handle one of the vampires just yet. I couldn't defy her, she was my maker. If I did, it would be the end of our bond.
"Go, Emma!" She roared at me as the vampire blond struggled out of her grasp. I turned my heel and started running to the other end of the forest, still hearing the struggle of what was going behind me. She told me to run, and I was running as fast as I could. I wasn't going to look back, I had to survive. Wendy wanted me to, she needed me to. The Cullen family was waiting for us and if we waited for too long, the family would think something bad happened to us.
After running for a minute or two, I then realized what else I had to do: I needed to take Sam with me. I skidded to a halt, seeing everything around me getting dark and colder. The sun was far gone from the world, and the moon was creeping up and over the trees, high in the sky. I never saw the moon in that fashion, it was always cloudy when we were in Europe. But seeing the moon like this, it was beautiful.
I turned my head for a second and I saw Sam next to me. I literally jumped in the air from the pure shock from seeing him. He looked rather scared out of his mind when I saw him about three feet away from. it didn't occur to me that he was following me, I was under the impression I left him behind with Wendy and the two mysterious vampires. But Wendy told me to take him with me, so it might of been a bad thing for me to run without him.
"I'm sorry." He said in a rushed tone, and could see he was eyeing me from his spot. I looked down to see my hands in front of me and I was crouched down slightly. He thought I was being defensive towards him and I might take his head off. But I lowered my hands and stood up straight, not knowing what to do then. I just met him, yet I wanted to ease his uneasiness.
"No, I'm sorry for scaring you." I replied back to him in a soft tone, trying to sound calm and collected. He shoved his hands in his pockets, shifting his weight from one foot to another in a uncomfortable manner.
"We need to keep going." I said to him in a stern tone, turning to the direction I was about to head and took a few steps.
"But what about your friend?" He asked, making me stop in my tracks and think about it for a minute or two. I was so sure that Wendy could handle herself, yet again I wanted to go back and make sure she was going to be okay. It felt odd not being close to her, she was more like my mother than my maker. But I knew she wanted me to keep going.
"We need to keep going." I replied about once more, not wanting to sound like I was going to be weak. I broke into a run, hearing him run right behind me. We sped through the forest, the trees were looking like a blur to me as I kept running.
The town the Cullens were in was coming up very close and I knew I had to stop to figure out where they were. I had no idea what house they were in, or where they were specifically located in the town. I stopped after a few minutes of running, and I ended up in the middle of a clearing near the town. There were lights in the buildings that were close enough for me to see, but I didn't want to go, not yet.
I was never on my own before, so I never learned how to handle things on my own. I was immediately scared, thinking I could make one false move and I will be discovered.
I suddenly felt two hands on my arms and yanked me backwards, away from the town and I was about to say something out loud, or even move whoever that was holding me, when I felt one of the hands leave my arm and fly over my mouth. I was thrust against a tree, but my body was against the body of another vampire. For a mere moment I thought it was one of the other vampires who was after Sam.
"Stay still." I hear behind me, making me stop moving at all. It was Sam, he was holding me and covering my mouth as we both tried to stay perfectly still in the darkness. At first I was confused on what was going on, but non the less I stayed still. A few seconds went by, I heard nothing that was very dangerous. But I knew why he was holding be back: There right in front of us were two humans with guns. THey were looking around with determined looks on their faces and I could smell the blood inside of them. It was very enticing and sweet, but I stayed still. THey were on a mission.
They were hunting.
