chapter 3
Flashbacks
Edward POV
I ran at vampire speed toward the prison where they held people on death row with my forged prison guard badge on. I would need that in order to not be conspicuous. As I entered the grounds of the prison, I heard many thoughts.
*Being a prison guard can get annoying. I can't believe that David dude decided to try to escape by kicking the door. The prison doctor had to come because he made himself bleed. Stupid. Stupid.*
I looked in the direction of where the thoughts were coming from, and saw a chubby prison guard walking outside, badge moving freely with every step he took. I slowed down to a human speed. (A/N: I don't think prison guards wear badges, but just go with it)
*What is that young bronze hair dude here for. I wonder if he is a new guard. Oh, I see a guard badge on. I guess he is. Or maybe I never paid attention and this guard was always here. Hm, I will say high.* As soon as the thoughts were done going through my head, he spoke to me.
"Hi," he said casually. "Are you a new guard here? I have never seen you before."
"Yeah, I'm new," I replied.
"Oh, okay, well good luck. Some of the prisoners get annoying, you know? Like today, I had a prisoner who tried to escape by kicking the door. We had to send in the prison doctor because he made himself bleed. Some prisoners are very dumb," he said. "I bet most of them have the IQ of a dead man." This made me chuckle a little bit.
"Thanks for the advice," I responded back.
"Yeah, anytime," he said as he continued walking. As soon as he was out of sight, I continued my run at vampire speed to the prison. Within a few seconds, i was walking through the prison doors.
As soon as I walked in, I saw a counter with a skinny bald looking guy behind it.
"How can I help you?" he asked in a bored tone.
"i am a new guard," I said showing him my badge.
"I don't remember anyone ever telling me you were coming," he responded still sounding bored. "Do you have some type of degree or something you can show me as better proof?" I pulled out one of my many college degrees, just a standard bachelor's degree.
"Here, believe me now?" I asked already seeing in his thoughts that he was going to let me through.
"Yeah, I guess," he said. "The door is to the left. Here is a key. Do you have any questions?"
"No, I got it. Thank you," I replied. I then proceeded to scan my key and walk through the door.
It took me about a minute to find the location of the death row, but I found it through a guard's mind. I walked to the door that said "Death Row" on it, and then scanned my key and entered.
The death row area of the prison was damp, and had an echo that some humans may find eerie. A guard was pacing the area walking to the rhythm of some music in his headphones. He was counting to the beat of the song in his head; 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4. I scanned for Kathrynn's thoughts, and within about a minute, I found them loud and clear.
Kathrynn POV
I lie on the mattress in this death row cell, thinking. This cell is cold, damp, and smells bad. All I have is a mattress, a toilet, and a sink. The cell is 6 feet by 9 feet by 9.5 feet high. It has an area of 56 square feet, and a volume of 513 cubic feet. I can't believe such a small cell has such a high volume. I can't wait to be transfered to a death watch cell. That will be 24 hours before my execution. I can't wait until the execution is over and done with. I am so nervous.
What put me into this place. Why do I have to be here? I am innocent. I was going to go to college to continue my studies of music, but the prospect of that is gone. I have no hope anymore. I live in this stupid death row cell as punishment for a crime I didn't commit. Due to my family I can't keep from loving, I am in this death row cell. If it weren't for them, I would have appealed. If they hadn't called me a monster, I would still be going to court. Why can't I stop loving my family? My family doesn't even care about me. I just hope I can go to heaven or something, and live an eternity. I know it sounds selfish but it is true. I don't deserve this fate.
I closed my eyes, and let anything come to my mind that wanted to. That was a mistake because the flashbacks came again. The terrible flashbacks I always get, the so clear memories of being put in this prison, and then being transfered to death row.
Flashback
I remember walking the street, just having a good time and thinking to myself. Suddenly, I had heard a loud boom, like a gun shot. Right after that, I heard a car door slam, a car start, and I heard someone speeding by really quickly. I ran to the scene to see what may have happened. There, I saw a man who apparently had just gotten shot. I checked for a pulse to see if he was alive, and found none. I remember thinking to myself how lucky I was that I had taken Emergency Training in high school. I then went to find my cell phone, but before I found it, I saw a police car coming toward the scene.
Once the police arrived at the scene, I explained what I knew. I told them how I heard the boom, went running, and checked the pulse. I was questioned a little bit by the officers, and then I went home. I thought that the police believed me, but I was wrong. Four days later, I heard a knock on my door. I opened it, and saw several police officers. One of them was holding a paper which I found out a few minutes later was a warrant for my arrest. Before I knew it, I was in prison.
I remember how I lost the trials in court. I appealed one time, but after that appeal, my family had called me a monster and told me they wished I suffered a slow and painful death. I remember requesting to be executed, and being dragged into this death row cell. It was all so clear in my mind.
end flashback
I opened my eyes. I couldn't take anymore of those flashbacks. After taking several deep breaths, I started counting in my head. I knew one thing for a fact, that would keep the terrible flashback out of my mind for now.
Edward POV
After hearing the flashback in Kathrynn's thoughts, I knew one thing. Kathrynn was innocent. I walked out of the death row area, and signed out. There was another dude at the desk this time, a different one than before. He signed me out, and I left the prison. As soon as I got home, I shared the news with my family that Kathrynn was innocent. Once I had finished explaining my story about my experience in the jail, I picked up the phone and called Sam.
After telling the wolves the news, we all met up again this time at our house. Renesmee was really happy she could see Jacob again. We went over the plan one last time. Alice had seen in a vision that they would need an execution team of 3, and one physician. Jasper was going to do the actual injection, and the others on the team would be Bella and I. Apparently we would have to prepare the "lethal drugs." Of course, Carlisle would be the physician, and would take the "dead" body for "autopsy.' Tomorrow, we would go to the prison and get our jobs. Our plan was now in action.
A/N: Sorry for the short chapter. I think I only have a few more chapters to write in this story. I hope you enjoyed the chapter even though it was so short. Please review.
