Tyson POV
I was a little enraged! The old man couldn't even wait for an hour tops! Now he was probably somewhere in this hotel. He was in here somewhere! I searched doors up and down, trying to look for his scent. I found it a few times but lost them as soon as I walked down further corridors. What bastard designed this building?! I growled to myself and opened another door walking through it and almost bumped into another vampire.
I straightened up and took a legs-apart and hands-behind-back-stance as I realized who it was.
"Stefan." I greeted impassively.
He looked me up at down, "Ah, Tyson. Just the person I wanted to see." He murmured.
I gulped.
He circled me like a vulture.
"Tyson, you told us that you only needed to get Alena footwear. The nearest town is only three miles away. Yet, you take almost three days and come back… without Eric."
I bit my lip and lied, "Uh, Eric was about to commit a murder spree in the town. I had to stop him. The Law was after us, I had to hide out for a while."
Stefan raised an eyebrow, "A likely story. However, Eric promised us that he'd keep an eye on you… or we'd unleash Bleddyn on him. And I think he quite valued his life."
I frowned, "Bleddyn?"
Stefan laughed mirthlessly, "You'll meet Bleddyn soon enough."
Just then, a red headed figure appeared next to Stefan. Dan might have been much younger than me, but it didn't mean I wasn't wary of him. Just about every single newborn was scared of Dan and Ozera and paid much respect to them. Stefan smiled evilly.
"Well, Tyson. It seems there something you haven't told us. But I think I can piece it together pretty well."
I took an unconscious step back.
"Dan." Stefan ordered.
Dan smiled cruelly at me and placed a hand on Stefan and I. Pretty soon, the room swirled around us and I was in the hall where Stefan and Vladimir had set up their little makeshift 'throne room'. Vladimir looked up from his throne as the three of us came into view. I had a sinking feeling that I was really in for it.
"Ahh, Tyson. You're finally back." He smiled evilly.
I clenched my jaw shut. The fear was getting to me. They knew I'd come back without Eric, that I'd come back just after two days. Far too long for shoe shopping! They knew something was up. Question was, how much did they know…?
Stefan and Dan joined Vladimir and the two Romanians grinned mirthlessly towards me. Something malevolent was going to happen.
"We know everything." Stefan said after a moment's silence.
I swallowed.
Stefan laughed, "Did you really think we'd trust you to go out by yourself?"
I frowned, "I didn't. I went with Eric."
Stefan rolled his eyes, "Eric was young and believed anything we told him. We told him to keep an eye on you or he'd meet terrible consequences. However, we also took out an insurance policy. Let me introduce Calypso, which is quite ironic. His name means hide or conceal. This is exactly what he does."
I raised an eyebrow, "What exactly does he do?"
A tall man, bulky like the Emmett guy, shaved hair and strong jaw stepped forward. I gulped. He looked dangerous.
"This is Calypso," Stefan smirked, "He hides himself and unfortunately, himself only. We had him follow and he has a unique ability to hide his scent, mind and tracks. He might as well have been a shadow."
I gulped, "He saw everything I did?"
Stefan leered, "Yes. We know everything about your little meeting with the Cullens, the Volturi and everyone else. We know about your little plead for help. We know Demetri's here. He is, in fact, in this hotel right now. We've been having Calypso tail him with Mr. Randall."
I frowned, "Mr. Randall?"
He waved it off with a hand, "Oh, just another Newborn with another special ability."
I nodded curtly, "Yes sir."
He tilted his head looking at me, "I'm sorry Tyson. You seemed to be a promising newborn, but you just proved us wrong. As you have committed treason, you will accept the punishment." He said, nose the in air.
My mouth almost dropped open and I shook my head, "You really let this king thing get to your head." I muttered.
Stefan's eyes narrowed, "Maybe so. But it doesn't matter. We're going to rule, after we take out the Volturi."
I felt black hatred enter my cold heart as his tone implied how ill he thought of the Volturi. From what I knew, they weren't bad people. They were the rightful rulers of the vampire world. Good ones at that.
"You, even if you had all the luck on your side… wouldn't win."
I lifted my chin up showing my pride that I'd grown for the Cullens, Volturi and their allies in such short time. Stefan hissed and Vladimir held up his hand for silence and walked over to me, circling.
"Dear boy. Why do you think this?" He said in a dangerously calm voice.
I gulped and lifted my head up even higher, "They are strong. They work together and have many allies with great abilities. What more, they will fight for each other, not for power… at least, the Cullens will."
Vladimir nodded and gave way to an actual smile, "Ah yes, I remember. We actually sided with the Cullens once when the Volturi were going to kill Renesmee. It's too bad that they fled at the last minute… I guess that it will also be a shame when the Cullens die. Especially Carlisle, he was a good man."
I snapped at that moment. I'd grown to like that man. You could practically see the happiness and goodness radiating out of that man. And Vladimir planned to kill him!
"NO!"
Vladimir looked a little taken aback at my sudden outburst.
"So it seems Calypso wasn't lying. You really did develop quite a friendship with the Cullens. Or Carlisle, whichever… you've made the wrong choice."
"No. By siding with them, I've made the best choice ever."
He drew his hand back at forced a deafening blow to my face. I thought my face was going to come off. It stung so much!
"And now you've just made the worst. Seems to be balanced out now…"
I put my hand to my face and felt my broken jaw bone heal quicker than I could think of the words 'bobs-your-uncle.'
I looked back up at them; Vladimir was already sitting back in his chair looking at me with disgust.
I wrung my hands together and gulped as quietly as I could. But it was a little difficult. This room was quiet enough as it was.
"What are you going to do now?"
Vladimir smiled, "Let's get Demetri here. Dan, Mr. Randall…" He called lazily.
I watched a tall blonde step out from behind the thrones and Dan. The blazing red eyes just gazed out terribly and they were so tense… as if they expected an attack any second!
"Go get Demetri."
They both nodded and the blonde disappeared. He disappeared way to fast for running or even teleporting! It took me a moment to realize that the 'Mr. Randall' actually possessed the power of invisibility. Dan shot me a smirk before putting his hand on the unseen figure and disappearing out of sight.
"Just wait for a second." Vladimir called out to me.
I growled intensely and ran forward to snap his head.
"Ugh, Calypso…" He said in a bored voice.
Just as I lunged forward, my arms flinging out in front of him to cinch his head in a vice-grip, a pair of powerful arms stopped me and pulled me back dumping me on the floor. It took me by so much surprise that I let out a cough as I felt the venom pool up in my mouth. Calypso's upper lip curled threatening and he knelt on the ground next to me, putting a hand on my throat, pushing down and holding it there so I couldn't move. I tried to move my legs but I found that the more I struggled, the more Calypso would push down. I choked out a breath and laid still.
A noise that sounded like a rush of wind entered the room and I tilted my head ever so slightly to see Dan and the 'Mr. Randall' bringing back Demetri. His back was to us, face the door. Vladimir cackled a laugh and Demetri slowly turned around.
"Shit." He uttered.
I winced as he looked at me and eyes widened, Calypso pushed down harder. I was sure my neck was going to snap the next time he pushed down harder.
"Let him go." Demetri hissed in a quiet menacing voice.
Stefan laughed callously, "I don't think so. He's been accused and proven guilty of treason. He's going to die."
Demetri let out a snarl, he'd been doing that a lot lately, I noticed.
Then Dan appeared next to him out of nowhere and teleported him so that he was right in front of Stefan and Vladimir. Stefan clicked his fingers and another newborn whipped quickly over to him and held him tightly with his arms pinned behind his back. Demetri struggled furiously, almost setting himself free three times. But then, Dan decided to hold Demetri as well, and it seemed Demetri was defeated against the two vampires.
"Demetri, Demetri, Demetri… what have we here?" Stefan got up and strolled casually to him, speaking in a mocking voice and clapping his hands together.
Demetri gave a low grumbling that came from within his chest and his back started to arch. If you ask me, I thought vampires very much resembled cats.
His let out a loud hiss as Stefan racked a finger across Demetri face. I winced as he scratched Demetri. The sound was similar to that of fingers down a chalkboard. If I had any blood running round my body at this moment, it would have turned cold.
"Ahh, the famous, or should I say infamous, tracker… he's here at last for his, how do they say? Ah, yes, Damsel in Distress." Stefan cooed softly, but thanks to our keen hearing, he might have bee speaking it loudly.
Demetri snapped his teeth at Stefan's hand that pulled back quickly and hissed back. Stefan's face regained composure once more and he tapped Demetri on the nose.
"There, there. No misbehaving."
I swore that if it could, Demetri's face would have turned bright red.
Stefan chuckled, "Yes, I remember you very well. You tracked Vladimir and me down that day when the Volturi over took us. You left us with a very vicious threat, didn't you? Well, seems that, after today, you won't be making any more threats ever again."
Demetri's eyes widened.
"Wait," Vladimir's voice cut in and Stefan looked curiously up at him, "Let's not kill him. Let's use him, he does have great talents. I mean, he is the greatest tracker in the world."
Stefan frowned, "But how would we use him? We're not exactly best buddies." He said sarcastically. I held back a smile as I saw Demetri grin happily at Stefan's last remark. He even showed off his sparkling teeth as they looked at him. He was definitely mocking them.
Vladimir sighed, "When we go to war against the Volturi and the others, we'll send out Dan, Ozera, and Calypso to get Chelsea. Then, we'll force her to make Demetri's loyalty lie here."
Stefan rolled his eyes, "We're not exactly best buddies with Chelsea either."
Vladimir shrugged, "We'll threaten her with Bleddyn. If she tries to run Dan can always bring her back."
Stefan nodded, "Alright, it seems like a good idea."
Vladimir nodded in approval as well, "Then it's settled. We'll have Demetri in the dungeons under heavy, and I mean heavy, guard."
Dan nodded and put his hand on Demetri shoulder then stopped. It was the first time I'd ever heard Dan's voice. It was so… boyish. It almost made me laugh and wonder why on Earth was I afraid of him. But, one, I had Calypso's hand on my throat and two, never judge a book by its cover.
"How many guards are we talking?" He asked.
Vladimir shrugged, "Twenty or so."
Dan's eyebrows shot up, "Twenty? For one vampire only…?"
Vladimir nodded curtly, "Demetri is a force to be reckoned with. He's a menace and a threat. Do not underestimate him."
Dan looked doubted at Demetri who shot him a large smile as if he were backing up Vladimir's words. Dan eyed him but nodded, "Yes sir."
With that, Demetri and Dan disappeared.
Vladimir's smile turned back on me, "You can join him for a few days. I think we'll let Bleddyn decide your punishment. Let's say… in three days, you and Bleddyn on the rooftop. It will be interesting."
I frowned and Calypso let go of my throat and drag me up by the collar and pinned my arms behind my back.
"Why play games? Why not get this 'Bleddyn' to kill me right now?"
Vladimir sighed, "This is no game. This is reality. And as for Bleddyn, he needs his rest. And with the prospect of what a big boy he is, he's going to need a lot of rest. At least, those are his conditions." He muttered the last part to himself, but I picked up on that.
"His conditions?" I stated loudly, "It seems this 'Bleddyn' isn't actually under your control. That isn't a first, but it certainly is a surprise. Come now, who is this 'Bleddyn', who is this creature, be it vampire or not that has you following his orders?"
Vladimir's lips furled over his teeth, "Shut up boy! You will meet Bleddyn soon enough and you will regret it."
The redhead was suddenly in the scene again.
"The deeds are done sir." He stated.
Vladimir eyed me, "Put this one down their too, oh, you might want to double the guard. This one is tricky."
Dan raised an eyebrow and nodded, "Yes sir."
He teleported over to me and placed a hand on my shoulder. Calypso took his hands off mine and then the room disappeared out from under my feet and I found myself in a dungeon looking place. I was in a small enclosed area. Bars surrounded me, rusted and smelly. It looked like a place from one of the scenes of Pirates of the Caribbean where Jack Sparrow is in a cell and then Will frees him using a lever.
I looked around and then immediately rushed in front of me, intending to snap the bars and free myself. It seemed so easy, what were Vladimir and Stefan thinking, putting me down here? I could easily escape.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." A deep, refined, accented voice rumbled.
I stopped mid-stride and looked to the side of me. In a rusted cell next to me was Demetri. He was on the floor, hand under his head as he was lying down looking like he was relaxing.
"There's just metal, we could snap them easily." I protested, walking up to his wall that separated us.
He sighed and sat up, motioning to the shadows that lurked outside the cells.
"In those shadows are around twenty newborns. There probably a little more now, because you're here. But try to escape and they'll rip something off. I'm just lucky they gave it back to me."
I subconsciously noticed him rubbed his shoulder. I gulped and backed away from the walls, sitting in the middle of the cell.
"I'm sorry I got you into this horrid mess." Demetri stated after a moments silence.
I chuckled, "No, it's mine. I let Alena talk me into this."
He laughed back, "Alena can talk anyone into anything."
I grinned and nodded, "Yes, I suppose you're right."
He sat up completely, legs crossed and looked at me, "I know you wanted to find your family and all, but I really wish you didn't help. That way, you would be in this situation right now. You're going to die."
I winced as he told me that in a matter-of-factly tone.
"Sorry." He quietly said.
I shook my head and shrugged, "Don't worry about it mate, if I had the chance to redo this all over again… I wouldn't change a thing."
He frowned, "They're sentencing you to … you know, and you wouldn't change that. Why not? Don't you have a family you really wanted to see?"
I sighed, "Well, right now, this is reality…And to tell you the truth… I don't mind this happening. I will actually get to see my wife and daughter."
I smiled as I heard Demetri grunt in confusion, "Excuse me?"
I shot him a smile, "My wife and my daughter are dead, Demetri. Stefan and Vladimir's newborns killed them. They left me alive… or undead, whichever. I don't know why Edward didn't say anything when I asked for Carlisle help, probably protecting my honor. He seems like a good person. They all do. But I'm glad I got to meet them. Alena talked about them so much. I'm glad I got to meet you as well Demetri. If your friends are what they seem, they'll get you out of here. I'm happy to die now."
"Then why did you ask for Carlisle help?"
I chuckled, "I honestly have no idea. I guess it was just an excuse to meet Alena's family. She's a good girl you know. You two really deserve each other."
He was quiet for a good ten minutes.
"I'm sorry Tyson." He finally spoke.
I shrugged, "Don't worry about it."
Laying myself down on the floor, I rested my head on the uncomfortable cobblestone and closed my eyes. For the first time ever, I wished I could sleep.
--00oo00oo00--
Alec's POV
I stood there gaping, blatantly aware that everyone else was doing the same thing. After Carlisle's three shocked words, everyone had run up here. Edward and Alice being the slowest as they already knew what was happening.
After looking at everybody's facial expression, I looked back at Chloe. She was lying still on the bed, her eyes were still closed, but her fingers would fidget every now and then. It looked like quite a serene picture, nothing seemed to be out of place… except for the fact that every object in the room was floating a good few inches off the ground.
"What is this?" I heard Heidi gasp.
"It seems she has the extraordinary gift if Telekinesis." A rough voice stated.
We all turned around to see Eleazar looking wondrously into the room, then at each of us.
"She has the power of Telekinesis, she can move whatever object she wants, at her own will."
Aro laughed in joy, "That is… remarkable!" He said in his constant pleasant voice.
I was still standing there gaping. A small smile escaped when I remembered when she was throwing objects at me… that obviously contributed with her unique powers.
I walked closer to her, as gently as I could, carefully not to make any sudden movements or sounds just in case I scared her and she did something rash.
I got to the bed and gingerly sat on it.
Her eyes flew open and she jumped off the bed, landing nimbly on the floor. Her head was tilted to the side and arms extended, fingers raked in a claw. I was both shocked and taken aback by her beauty. She looked like a fearsome goddess.
I shot off the bed too and took a few steps back, my arms also slipping up into a defensive position, my fingers curled.
Out of her throat came a fierce growl and she her head whipped back and forth from me to the rest of the people filed up in her room.
"Chloe, it's okay."
Her eyes filled with recognition and fear, "Alec?" Her musical voice called out. I smiled.
Just for precautions, I released some of my power and headed it in her direction, stopping it just in front of her just incase I didn't need it.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jasper slide smoothly forward, halfway between me and Chloe.
"Chloe, are you thirsty?" His smooth deep voice called.
Her head whipped from me to him and a few objects floated from various places and stopped above her head, it looked like she was about to launch them to Jasper any second. However, her shoulder's soon relaxed and her curled lip loosened. Her lips them pressed together and a calm look adorned her face.
"Yes," She said quietly, "My throat's burning." Her high-pitched voice argued.
I nodded, "its fine, it just means that you're thirsty. We'll go hunting in a minute."
She frowned, "Humans?"
I smiled and nodded and her face was clouded with fear, "No!" She argued.
Something in the room dropped and she instinctively snarled and darted to attack the nearest creature… Jasper… I quickly surged my power forward and let it envelope her. She froze and started to fall, but I darted forward and caught her.
I looked from Jasper to the girl in my arms, "If I drop it, can you keep her calm?"
Jasper nodded, "Of course."
I silently withdrew my power, the mirage looking haze gleaming through the air before disappearing. My eyes narrowed as I remembered the previous comment that Aro made. But I was a stubborn vampire, my power did not shimmer!
Her unnecessary breathing started again and she flew out of my arms to a near by window. Luckily, it was closed… not that it would have stopped her.
"Alec... my voice, it's different." Her hands flew up to her throat.
I nodded and held my hands up in a defeat sign as I inched closer to her.
"Yes, it is… it's something to do with the venom. A lot of things changed when you were changed. For instance, you will be practically indestructible. You have strength, sight, and hearing and feel that you never imagined before."
Her eyes narrowed and her gaze fell on Aro, she snarled at him and he shot back a grin.
"He bit me!" She screeched and a few books circled around her head, inching closer to him. He gazed from her to the flying objects in joy.
"You're absolutely remarkable!" He cackled.
A look of contempt grew on her face and she growled.
I rushed forward to her and placed my hand on her shoulder, "No, don't hurt him. He meant well. He's just very… hasty at times. It's okay." I tried to appease her.
Her shoulders relaxed under my touch, it gave me shivers even though I was eternally cold.
Her beautiful gaze came up to mine, "So… I'm a vampire now?"
I nodded, "Yes you are."
Her eyes shifted and she bit her lip, "I'm scared." She said softly.
I drew my face a little closer until her nose touched mine. I smiled softly and then pressed my stone cold lips to hers. They were so soft and full. I felt her smile under the touch and apply some pressure back. My head was thumping and I felt like the room had closed him. I was almost shaking! I'd wanted to do that for a long time… she was my soul mate after all…
"Don't be." I grinned as she pulled away, her smile embarrassed.
Suddenly, her arms were around my neck and she was pulling me closer to her and before I knew it, her lips were pressed on mine and I found myself copying her. Cupping her smooth and soft face in my hands, I deepened the kissed and pulled her even closer.
"Ahem!" A voice coughed.
She sprang back and covered her mouth with her hands, "Oh god! I'm so sorry; I have no idea why I did that! Something just-- oh, sorry…!" She gasped.
I let a chuckle come out, "Not that I'm complaining, but when you're a Newborn, your emotions are on edge… you'll learn to control it in time."
Her hands slowly fell back from her mouth and she gave a small nod.
"Well, I guess you know how I feel about you." She said shyly.
I laughed and drew my arms around her thin waist and hugged her tight. I felt her stiffen under my sudden embrace and I mentally hit myself for being too forward. But then I felt joy course through my body as she relaxed and wrapped her arms around my torso.
"I'm sure you two have feelings you want to discuss, but she's a newborn and she needs to feed." A reprimanding and mocking voice almost snickered.
I looked up to see Caius giving me the one eyebrow. I smiled and saluted, just for the fun of it, "Yes Master."
Chloe gave me a questioning look as she stepped back.
"I'll explain later." I promised.
I grinned and walked over to a large window, pulling the cover glass up.
"Come on." I encouraged.
Her eyes widened, "Are you crazy!? You're going to die!"
I laughed and shook my head, "Not likely. But if you're so worried, why don't you watch my first. It's quiet easy."
She edged closer, a very concerned look on her face. I swung my legs over the edge and jumped down. Winds rushed under my long cloak and gathered up for a steady descend. I bent my legs slightly so that I could resist the impact of the ground easily. My feet touched the ground and I stopped. Looking back up, I grinned as I saw her head sticking out the window, her mouth dropping open.
"How did you do that?" She gasped loudly.
I laughed as I heard a few snickers echo from the room. It sounded like they belonged to Emmett and Felix. Then I heard to 'oofts!' I laughed louder as I realized that Chloe must have sent some objects their way.
"Can't I use the front door?" She whined.
I shook my head, "Just try jumping." I encouraged.
She frowned at me and her head went back inside. She probably didn't think I could hear the next conversation take place, but I did.
"Alice, do I have to?" She whined.
Alice laughed, "You don't have to. But it's more fun than it looks. Just try it."
"Yeah," Emmett's voice boomed, "Just try it you chicken."
She hissed, "Shut up Emmett!"
I laughed and she gasped.
"He can hear us can't he?"
I grinned as I imagined various heads nodding. She stuck her head out the window.
"Screw you Alec." She hissed, making me laugh.
"Do not look up or I'll rip your head off." She threatened as she swung both legs over the edge. I'm sure I would have turned a bright pink, if I was human, as I realized she was wearing a short denim skirt that would have given me front seat view if I looked. I turned my head away as she jumped down, ending with a soft thump on the floor. Her long blonde locks flew effortlessly in the wind. My mouth almost dropped open as I looked at her, marveling at her beauty.
"What?" She asked, consciously racking her fingers through her hair.
I shook my head, "Uh, nothing… you just look… stunning."
She rolled her eyes, "You're probably thirsty too."
I nodded, "My eyes are black, aren't they?"
She nodded quickly, "Yeah, they were red before though!"
I laughed, "After we feed, they'll turn red again, but when we get thirsty, they turn red."
She nodded and followed me as I ran off; we soon arrived at a large river.
"What do we do?"
I smiled at her innocence, "Jump."
She frowned, "Again?"
I nodded, "its okay, it's not hard."
I took a few stepped back and jumped nimbly over the river. I watched her and praised her out loud as she copied me.
"So, we have to hunt humans?"
I nodded, "Well, that's the food source that give us the most strength. The Cullens hunt animals and drink their blood, that's why their eyes are gold."
She pursed her lips, "Hunting animals seems less vulgar. Can we try that?"
I frowned, "I've never tried hunting animal before…"
She laughed, my insides felt like jelly, she had a gorgeous laugh.
"Then we can both be beginners."
I raised my eyebrows, "Are you sure."
She nodded curtly, "Completely sure. Can we just try it, if you don't like, we'll go find some rapists to kill or something."
I laughed at her choice of words and clasped her hand mine, "Sounds like a good deal."
We ran lithely through the forest, dogging trees and large boulders. I watched in fascination as her vampire instincts took over and she quickly tackled a young deer that ran past. I shook my head to remind myself that she wasn't something to observe at a museum and that I needed to feed too.
I followed my sensitive nose and found a scent of a mountain lion. I smiled wryly to myself as I quickly found it and used my powers to drink it without a fight. I wanted to feed quickly so that I could get back to Chloe quicker. I chuckled as I remembered that it was Edward's favorite game. I had to give it too him. It didn't taste that bad… a little exotic.
She grinned at me as she finished her last meal. She jerked her head back to the house and I nodded in compliance. We both ran back to the house in a light race. I let her win though, but she was pretty fast.
"Come on, let's go." She took my hand and we ran across the porch and into the house.
As soon as we got in, we came into a strange scene. Everybody was on a seat and listening intently to one another.
"What's going on?" I asked, pushing Chloe behind me and taking up a defensive stance.
Edward looked up at me, "We were thinking, since Chloe's transformation is done… we'd go and get Demetri, Tyson and Alena."
I frowned, "All of us?" I looked doubtfully to Chloe. She was pretty good at controlling herself, but we would pass various towns on the way to Seattle. I don't think she'd be able to hand it.
Edward probably read my thoughts, "Not all of us, just some. A small party of us. If it's a battle that the Romanians want, it's a battle they'll get… just another time."
I nodded, "I'll have to go?"
He sighed, "Jane's not going, since she won't be much help against Ozera's shield. So you can stay with Chloe. Jasper, Felix, Emmett, Aro, Caius, Carlisle, Bella and I will go."
I nodded, "When?"
He looked around, I noticed, the vampires he mentioned were all standing up and waiting by the back door.
"Now."
I nodded in understanding, "Good luck."
He nodded in thanks, "We'll need it."
Chloe stepped forward and gave him a simple hug, "Bring her back, 'kay?"
He smiled and put a hand on her head, "We will."
I felt jealous as I realized they would have had some sort of bond since she'd probably been here many times with Alena.
He sighed and smiled, "She's yours." He chuckled.
I gave him a pleading gaze, "Sorry Edward, but you understand… right?"
He nodded, "Of course I do."
With that, he followed the rest and they all filed out the back door and disappeared adroitly behind the forest of cover. Although I did not hold much respect for human customs, I crossed my fingers and smiled, wishing them Godspeed and luck.
I felt a small and soft hand grasp mine, looking down I saw Chloe's long hair next to me. I bent down slightly and kissed her head.
"They'll bring her back, won't they?" She wondered.
I nodded, "They'll try."
--00oo00oo00--
Tyson POV
It been a day or two, but suddenly, Dan appeared beside me. He shot me a sorry smile, but then replaced it with an evil smirk.
"Sorry, looks like your times up."
I looked at Demetri who had gotten up and was going as close the bars as he dared too. A few vampires stepped forward, ready to rip him to parts if he tried anything.
I looked at Dan, sizing him up, "What exactly is my punishment?"
He grinned, "Vladimir and Stefan want you to battle Bleddyn on the rooftop."
I raised an eyebrow as I saw him visibly shake as he said the name 'Bleddyn.'
"What's with the whole Bleddyn thing?"
Dan narrowed his eyes, "Bleddyn's dangerous. I wish you luck."
"Why is this Bleddyn so important? You do realize that Stefan and Vladimir won't win this war. Why don't you help us and win your freedom." I gave one last stab at freedom.
He hissed, "I am free. Free to do whatever I like. With Bleddyn, we'll be unstoppable, we will rule the world."
I laughed, "So that's why you're here, because you want to rule the world."
He chortled, "Who wouldn't?"
I sighed, "I wouldn't."
He rolled his eyes, "Then we better get you to your punishment. Wouldn't like to keep Bleddyn waiting. He's unstable."
I grinned, "You guys are all afraid of this 'Bleddyn!'"
He snarled, "Just shut up! Oh, and by the way, your little human friend will be up there too. Watching… Stefan and Vladimir will probably let Bleddyn eat her."
I snarled, but if I thought was an insult, you should have seen Demetri. He snarled and hissed at Dan, he lunged towards the bars, proceeded to rip them and Dan to shreds. Numerous vampires rushed forward but Dan transferred himself from my cell to Demetri and caught him in a tight headlock.
"Now, now. Don't get mad. Or we'll have you watch her be eaten." He laughed.
"You bastard! You'll never get away with this!" Demetri roared, throwing a few good profanities at him as well.
Dan just laughed.
"I think we're already getting away with it. Anyway, ta-ta. I have a little battle to watch."
He teleported from Demetri's cell to mine and then I closed my eyes as Dan teleported me.
I suddenly felt wind and found myself on the hotel's empty rooftop. It was square and huge.
"TYSON!" I heard a voice yell out.
Dan was no longer beside me; I turned around to see Alena down on the rooftops, bruises around her wrists. She looked so weak. Her hair was a tuff of mess and she would have been lying down totally on the floor, expect her thin arms were supporting her upper torso up. Her legs were drawn limply to one side. Her face was a mask of fear as she looked at something behind me.
I looked to another side of me to see Stefan, Vladimir, Calypso, Ozera and Dan all huddled together. They were all looking at something, something past me. I had a sudden feeling it was the creature I was going to fight.
I heard a wet snarl and felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I turned around slowly and my eyes widened.
"Oh…god..." I whimpered.
I was a dead man.

Alena POV
A little while after Tyson left, I dropped the letter into the box and settled for sitting on the bed and daydreaming about Demetri and the numerous ways he could rescue me. Oh how shallow and content I felt at that moment. But who cared!
Moments passed, turning into hours, hours passed into days.
It's been two days and I was getting worried.
Suddenly, I saw Dan in front of me all of a sudden giving me an evil smirk. Then the door behind him creaked heavily open and Stefan and Vladimir stepped inside with a buff looking man and Ozera. I shot off the bed like it was a hot rock and stood stiffly on the ground. I became a little annoyed when I saw Stefan smirk at my reaction.
"What do you want?" I said, my voice shaking.
Stefan and Vladimir grinned and Vladimir shook his head, "Dear little girl. You are so young! Did you really think you could get away with this plan without our knowledge?"
I gulped, "Okay, so maybe you're smarter than you look."
I smirked in satisfaction when Stefan hissed.
"Stefan, calm down," Vladimir said in quiet tones, and then turned back to me, "We have a little something we'd like to show you."
I shook my head in defiance, "I'm not going."
Vladimir hissed, "You don't have a choice! You're going to watch your little friend Tyson die!"
My mouth dropped open, "What?! Tyson is a good person! He never did anything!!"
Vladimir crept stealthily forward, "You know, for the person who talked him in to doing this, it doesn't seem right when you say 'he never did anything.'"
I gulped, "Then kill me instead! It wasn't his fault."
Vladimir laughed so hard that I could feel his breath full on my face.
"We aren't killing you. No, you're far too great to be killed. And don't worry. You will join us. We just have to capture Chelsea first. Anyway, Tyson is a waste. He's not that important."
I saw red.
I drew my arm back and forced as much power I could into my punch. I didn't care if I broke my hand and ended up shattering my arm. They could NOT just talk about my friend that way and expect me to stand there! That was totally unacceptable! I pushed my arm forward and a little adrenaline ran through my veins as my fist came into contacts with his cheek.
I heard a deafening crunch.
"ARGH!" I yelled out as I pulled back my arm and clutched it. I was smart enough to listen to the pain and not need a doctor to tell me that I'd broken my arm and wrist. If I was lucky, I'd probably shattered half my arm too.
Vladimir growled but then smirked, "You silly girl. You do realize you only end up hurting yourself, not me."
I drew back my other hand and delivered a good slap to his face. But I didn't regret it even though it slapped like hell.
"You're despicable." I spat.
He chuckled and grabbed both of my wrists tightly. I screamed as the broken wrist heated up and throbbed like it was being stabbed multiple times and set on fire.
He grinned, "Don't ever do that again." He hissed.
I bit back a moan but couldn't resist opening my mouth for a whimper. I regretted making a noise as Vladimir set out a smile.
"Dan, let's go."
Everyone walked over and put there hands on each other so that everybody was in contact with somebody in someway.
The ground under me gave way and the room started to swirl very quickly. It felt sickening. I stuck out my tongue and screwed my eyes shut.
When I opened my eyes I saw that I was on a rooftop. It was large and empty. The grey flooring was so dull and made me feel so sick. I realized that we were on the hotel's rooftop. I saw that I was right next to the edge and I could see over the side. My legs were sprawled out under me and I recognized that I was half lying on the floor. The only thing propping me up was my arms that were shrieking out in defiance. I was so sore everywhere! Clamoring to the edge, I looked and saw that the building was gigantic! It was at least a twenty story high building. I gulped and pulled back from the edge.
Looking around, I saw that the Romanians and their other followed on the opposite side to me. They were next to a large hatch or opening.
"Get Tyson!" I heard Stefan yell loud enough for me to hear even though Dan was right next to him. I watched Dan disappear from sight and a few moments later came back with Tyson. He looked so disheveled! I'd never felt so guilty for anything in my entire life! He was going to die and it was my entire fault! If I could, I would take back the last day's events! I didn't want him to die! He was too good of a man! He still had a family to go back to! He didn't deserve to die!!
"Tyson!" I yelled out.
He spun around and I saw his eyes widen as he looked at me. His eyes were full of concern and pain and I wanted cry!
Then, I saw Stefan nod to the unknown buff man and he opened the hatch. Tyson was still looking at me and didn't see what was behind him. I gasped as a large hulking figure slowly arose out of the hatch. Then, it all made sense.
Why Alice could see the hotel.
I screamed as I realized what was coming out of the hatch.
A werewolf!
It wasn't a Jacob Black type. Not a shape-shifter! It was an actual werewolf! It was so large! It was HUGE!! I probably only came up to half its leg! It was a giant! Its eyes, pitch black stared hungrily out. It was covered in hair. The grey wolf's upper body matched the size of Sam Uley but the lower part of its body was meters tall! It looks like a wolf but it stood like a man and was a little out of proportion. His mouth opened and mounds of saliva dripped out.
Tyson turned around and he gasped. His figure grew tense as the giant werewolf lumbered towards him. It was amazing how it didn't just break the building! It snarled heavily and heaved a guttural growl. I whimpered and backed off a little.
"Meet Bleddyn!" Stefan called out in glee to me.
I screamed in annoyance and fear as the figure lumbered ever close to Tyson.
"Tyson! RUN!"
He looked at me, fear in his eyes and he darted away. The werewolf growled, more saliva dripping out of his mouth. He turned to the direction that Tyson had ran and lumbered away in his direction.
Pain and fear ripped through my body!
I stumbled up and screamed, pain rippling terribly through my body. I got up despite the rippling pain that screamed defiance through my body!
I mustered up all my energy and threw my arms up.
"BLEDDYN!" I yelled, "OVER HERE!"
The werewolf turned mid-stride and turned to me. I swore his face lit up in a grin and he snarled, more saliva dripping out of his mouth. He turned and encumbered over to me shaking the building. I gulped and tried to run away, my sore muscles protesting madly! After I'd run a few meters, closer to the edge of the building, I turned around. The monster was almost upon me and I could smell his breath. It stank like meat, blood and decay!
Suddenly! A body rammed into the werewolf! The werewolf made a surprise noise that sounded like a grunt and a squeal. I watched terrified as I saw Tyson jump on top of the beast and pull at tufts on his head. The creature roared and lifted his arms up, trying to reach at his head and for Tyson! Tyson jumped out of the way and pulled at his shoulder! A large ripping noise was heard and bone breaking. The creature roared and stumbled heavily forward.
"Alena!"
I scrambled to the edge and almost screamed in relief as I saw Edward, Emmett, Felix, Bella, Caius, Jasper, Carlisle and Aro in the clearing off the trees. They rushed forward.
"Help!" I cried out.
Suddenly I felt hair brush against me. I turned around and screeched as the werewolf was literally inches in front of me! My heart thumped harder and slower and grew in so much pain and fear.
Suddenly the werewolf shook and Tyson grunted. He flew off the werewolf! However, Bleddyn caught him in mid-air and grabbed at his neck. A large crack and twisting noise was heard!
I screamed.
"TYSON!!!" I yelled as the werewolf proceeded to rip him apart!
I was crying madly! The werewolf had just ripped him apart!! I screamed in fear again! The werewolf threw the rest of the pieces over to the Romanians. Then he stepped backward, his large and power tail hitting me full force! I had the wind knocked out of me. Stumbling back, almost toppling over the edge, I thankfully caught myself before I fell. I then felt a stabbing pain shoot through my wrist and I screamed as I accidently replied pressure on broken wrist. The werewolf suddenly turned around, his arms flying around. One of his arms caught my waist and the force threw me.
Over the edge.
I plummeted.
Down, down, down…
Down.
Down.
Down.
Down.
Suddenly I felt a crushing snap! I coughed profusely, coughing up something thick and heavy.
Blood.
I had made impact with the ground.
I rolled on the side and a waterfall of blood gushed out and I coughed some more. Rolling back on my back I saw Jasper, Felix, Emmett, Aro, Caius, Carlisle, Bella and Edward kneeling beside me.
"Oh god, this is bad Carlisle! Really bad!" Bella's panicky voice called out.
I felt prodding fingers feel various parts of my body, my pulse, and my ribs. I figured they belonged to Carlisle.
I gasped in pain! So much pain.
"It's hurts!" I screamed!
The blackness was closing in around me, but I fought, fought for consciousness.
I looked up, past my family and friends and saw Bleddyn and the vampires up on the roof looking down.
"Stefan! Vladimir! No more!" A harsh voice hissed loudly.
I realized it was Caius.
"Caius! You see what we have here? Have fun fighting this!"
Caius snarled!
Then I saw Carlisle stand up next to Caius.
"If it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get! But not today!"
I looked up and strained to see the looks on the Romanians face. They looked like they were… deliberating!
"Alright," Vladimir hollered down, "In a week, for Bleddyn."
Carlisle nodded, "You're not going to win!"
"We'll see about that!" Stefan called.
And then they disappeared.
I cough some more and felt the blackness cloud my vision.
"Carlisle! I don't think she's going to make it!"
I could just make out Jasper's voice.
"She's alright. Let's just get her back and cleaned up."
I closed my eyes, letting the tears pour out. I shook my head.
"No!" I whispered loudly.
"What is it honey?" Bella asked, wiping her cold hand against my forehead, I shivered, welcoming the cool numbing feeling.
"Where's Demetri!" I yelled.
I felt someone gingerly pick me up bridal style and I felt everyone start to run. The wind rushed past my ears.
"Where's Demetri!" I yelled.
I heard a voice above me, Carlisle was carrying me.
"He's… he's… they still have him."
My world stopped.
"What?" I whispered, my voice barely made it.
"I'm so sorry. They have him."
I squeezed my eyes tighter and cried, letting the blackness cloud me.
--00oo00oo00--
I regained consciousness when I heard screams and gasps.
"Alena! Alena! Alena!"
Numerous voices yelled and I heard tearless sobs. I also heard whines and whimpers.
"Oh my goodness! Carlisle what happened?" Esme voice called from next to me.
I opened my eyes to see the living room. The long coffee table had been cleared out and I was laid down on it.
"She fell off the hotel building."
Esme gasped, "How tall was the building?"
Carlisle shrugged, "Twenty stories or so. Can somebody hand me a wet towel?"
My lower jaw trembled and I heaved a heavy shudder, the pain shredding through my body.
"She's been out for two and a bit days. I don't see how she's still alive." Edward's amazed voice breathed.
I coughed. I didn't see how either.
Then I felt Carlisle run the towel up and down my body.
I was clean in a few seconds.
"Carlisle," Came Alice's worried voice, "I can still smell blood."
"Of course you can!" Alec's harsh voice bit. I cringed.
She shook her head, "Not from the towels. It's still running."
Carlisle stopped and leaned closer to my body and sniffed.
"You're right. She has internal bleeding. She's not going to make it."
I saw everyone stiffen as they realized what he was going to do. My eyes teared up from the pain as he looked in concern to me.
"Honey, listen to me. There's nothing else I can do. I have to change you or you'll die."
I forced myself to nod.
He nodded back to me, "I'll get Alec to ease the pain. Hopefully, you won't be able to feel anything."
I nodded, even managing a small 'uh-huh'.
"Ready darling?" He asked in a tender father voice.
I coughed up some more blood and nodded feebly.
"Do it."
He nodded and then sank his teeth in my neck.
My screams hit the roof.
