Chapter 14: Attacked...

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN TWILIGHT SO STOP THE ONSLAUGHT OF ROMANIAN MARSHMALLOWS, FIGHT THE POWER! OR JUST EAT THEM...

This chapter goes out to a close family member of mine, I'll always miss you. Even though I was too young to understand, the loss is there.

Oh god! I really hate being a vampire sometimes, it's not all it's cut up to be. My throat has been burning all morning and it's much to bright to go hunting. I'll look like a zooming disco ball, flying through the forest and eating animals. That's a bad horror movie just waiting to happen, Discoball of terror! I was currently in the living room clutching my neck and trying to read Wind in the Willows without falling to the floor and crawling around like a crab. I'm in desperate need for some blood, maybe Carlisle has some donor blood in his office...

"Chloe just go and hunt, the clouds are rolling in. You'll be fine." Edward said, reading his newspaper. " You're the only vampire who leaves hunting to the last minute. Most people would be dying to go." I rolled my eyes.

"It just means I have better self restraint... and that I forgot. Besides I want to go with everyone else, I don't like hunting alone. It's no fun without everyone else." I whined. He chuckled and patted my head in mock sympathy.

" Awwww! Look Carlisle hasn't scheduled anything yet so you'll either have to ask him, or die of thirst." He said. Well when you put it like that! I groaned and got up, heading obediently to the door. I turned back, a sudden idea striking me.

"Anyone wanna go hunting?" I said, addressing the occupants of the room. Alec shook his head, as did Mary, Eleazar and Alistair. I sighed. " Guess it's a party of one then." With that I sprinted out the door, watching the black rumbling clouds choke the last bit of sunlight away. It's amazing what clouds can do, so light yet so menacing. I sprinted into the now dark forest, twisting through roots and banks to get to the heart of the forest. I felt a herd of elk in the distance, due east of my point. I snarled and let my instincts kick in, running and full thrust towards them.

I reached the hilly grass land to find the herd retreating in a haste, galloping and kicking over each other. That's impossible! They couldn't have heard me, they couldn't have smelt me, what spooked them? I slowly walked in the middle of the clearing, trying to pick up any scent of possible intruders or humans. Nothing, just the smell of a winters day.

I sighed, kinda irritated I just lost my dinner. I picked up my speed and chased after the herd, hoping to be more successful in my efforts. I followed them quietly to another clearing, slowly stalking towards them. I was about to pounce, when a twig snapped and they all took off running. For the sake of hot dogs! What the heck! This is the crappiest hunting session ever! I stomped my foot and groaned loudly chasing after them again. Every single time I had them where I wanted them and every single time they escaped. I wasn't make a noise and by the fifth attempt I had already lost hope in getting any food. I strode into the middle of the clearing and plopped myself down on the soft snow, whacking my head on my knees repetitively. I looked up to see it was nightfall and the star shined bright in the sky, twinkling mockingly down at me. The moon was full and bright, illuminating the pitch black night sky. I sighed, planting my hands behind me and leaning back, taking in my surroundings. I'll try hunting tomorrow.

I heard a twig snap behind me, breaking the night silence. I sat up in a flash, putting my shield up. I growled threateningly, picking up foreign scents.

"Who's there?" I called into the night air. Two different chuckles rang to my ears, sending the hair on the back of my neck to stand up. Two fairly short men came out of the dark trees, their blood red eyes shining in the dark. I knew exactly who they were, they were the reason I might lose the Cullens. Esme told me all about them, they were angry we let the Volturi go. They wanted revenge, in it's purest form. Death.

Vladimir and Stefan. They were flanked by four other vampires, I was clearly outnumber.

"The new Cullen. Word has reached far of you and your bondage to the witch twin little one. The scum does not deserve you." Vladimir said. I felt a pit of anger rise in my chest as he insulted Alec.

"Don't you dare talk about him like that." I said darkly. Stefan laughed, smirking.

"Oh how cute! The newborn has feelings for the evil one. How disturbed... Anyway let us not dillydally Vladimir, she is Carlisle's family member. Let us make it a quick death." He said, starting to advance on me. I put out my hands and tried to reason, if I fought I would die.

"Now now, think about it. What will killing me do for your cause? Why not just send me with a warning?" I tried to reason. They laughed, sending fear into my system. They could easyily weaken my shield and my power wouldn't work on so many people.

"Oh we don't have anything against you young one! This is just a warning to them, we will not spare one soul. Including young Renesme, sadly... Come now we don't have time for this Cullen!" Vladimir yelled. They started to run towards me and I panicked. Maybe i could cause a shockwave if I used my power on myself! I did a giant backflipped and focused my power on myself, propelling myself to the ground. I felt a giant seismic wave come from underneath me and sending them hurtling into trees.

They got up. They ran towards me, never giving up. I flung many back and into each other, but there was just to many. I needed help desperately, otherwise I wasn't coming out alive. I managed to rip one guys head off his shoulders, throwing it at another minion. Out of no where Stefan tackled me and bit me in the neck and then the arm. They all started biting me and ripping chunks out of me, I started to feel my vision fade into black.

I could see my Mom, holding my hand as a child and walking through a park. Then my vision snapped to all of us together on Christmas morning, opening presents. Then of us on my tenth birthday, with me devouring chocolate cake. This is the end. I felt the pain numb slightly as they all bit into me and injected me with venom. At least my family don't have to witness my death...

Or so i thought it was death. Suddenly they stopped biting and I heard Vladimir and Stefan yell and start to retreat. The dull sound of metal scraping filled my senses, making me internally cringe. I felt my body go limp as I gave in too the heavy weight of peace on me. Someone started to shake me and bring me back to my surroundings.

"CHLOE! Don' t you dare do this to me! Wake up!" Alec's voice rang through my conciousness. I fluttered my eyes open to see his face, staring down at me worriedly. That's when the pain made itself known. I started to scream as the venom stung my skin, burning me alive.

"ALEC!" I yelled. He picked me up and examined me carefully. I was panting heavily with the effort to resist screaming.

"This much venom will overpower yours, it's going to poison you. We need to get you to Carlisle!" He said, taking off in a sprint. He ran through the forest, me writhing with pain. It was toture, nothing you could ever imagine. Like someone set a loved one alight and made you feel their pain, then they set you alight. We made it to the house in record time, bursting through the door.

"CHLOE!" I heard Alice and Nessie yell as they rushed towards me. Alec sped me to Carlisle, who looked grief stricken. I'M NOT DEAD YET YOU IDIOT! They talked in a flurry, Alec explaining everything.

"Take her upstairs now, HURRY!" Carlisle yelleds, following us up. He set me down on the bed in the medical room and set me up to a fluids drip. " We need to cleanse her system, but I'm going to have to rip her leg apart. No medical utensil is strong enough. We can extract the foreign venom then, when I say you numb her. Got it?" Carlisle instructed. Alec growled.

"Just do it!" he yelled, anxiety clear in his voice. Carlisle dug his fingers into my thigh and yelled.

"NOW!" the last thing I heard was my own scream before blacked out completely.
