Renesmee
I kept myself focused on my surroundings to help me calm down. By my calculations, they ran about 107 miles South-East of our original location. They brought us to an abandoned warehouse or factory of sorts. It was hard to tell. It was rare to see a modern concrete structure in the middle of a forest so I wondered if there was a lumber mill nearby. I observed all of the exits, memorizing our path. They took us to a hall with three iron doors. I could hear other heartbeats nearby and I began to panic again. They took us in one of the rooms and dropped us on the floor.
"Pull back." Ramon said to his companion. "We should talk to them." I started to feel my body again. Both Leah and I immediately stood into an attack position. Leah pulled me behind her but I was still ready to attack. My uncles had trained me but I was still just a half breed.
"There, there young ones. You don't want me to put you under again. We just want to chat." Ramon told us in a patronizing voice.
"What the hell do you want?" Leah hissed at him.
"What are you? You smell... like a dog actually?" Ramon's friend asked us.
"That is none of your fucking business! Why the fuck are we here?!"
"Calm yourself child. You're not in any position to ask questions so answer us and you might actually live through this." Ramon said in a hiss. I could tell he was losing his patience and I became afraid. I panicked so I stepped forward.
"She's a shape shifter and I am a hybrid. We answered your question. Now answer ours. Why are we here?" I asked him directly. I tried to keep my voice steady but there was no hiding my terror. He smiled at me as if he were pleased I spoke.
"You are here to help us. We have been trying to create offspring, quite unsuccessfully. I am able to identify potentials and my friend Levan is able to paralyze them so they can remain still while I try to work. But you see… It is rather difficult to remain... controlled. Things get quite messy. We've had 2 successes and many many failures and poor Levan hasn't had a chance to have his fun because he has to concentrate on keeping me from killing them. Since it seems your kind is a bit more durable than the humans, I've put all my energy into finding hybrids. I've been searching for months and then suddenly there you were. If you cooperate, we will make sure it is as painless as possible. And I will even consider keeping your wolf friend alive. There is no reason why this cannot be civilized." Leah hissed and immediately pulled me completely behind her.
"You are not touching her!" I felt my body immobilize again and Leah was suddenly quiet. She was immobile too.
"Oh don't worry my dear. We have plans for you too. I've heard of the wolf shifters. I'll have to see exactly how strong you really are before we can start but as for your friend..." Levan smiled as he grabbed me.
"Actually, I hear the wolves are quite strong. But we'll try her later. Go have your fun, old friend. I'll stand guard in case she gets difficult." Ramon told Levan. As soon as the door shut behind us I heard Leah's screams.
"Wait, wait! Don't fucking hurt her! Take me, it won't work with her. She's too young, she hasn't even had her period yet! I'm just as fucking durable as her. Please! Take me, damn it! Take me!" I heard her scream through the door, the last part turning into a sob and a moment later I heard a roar. She had phased. Levan stopped and looked at me.
"She does look young." He said as he examined my face.
"If the shifter is right this will be a waste of time. It might be better if you take the shifter regardless. Think of the possibilities of such a child. The shifters are strong. No need to wait for the hybrid to grow, just take the shifter now. " Ramon told Levan. I could hear the excitement in his voice. He reminded me of Aro.
"Perhaps you are right." I begged him not to hurt her with my eyes but it was too late. His mind was resolved. Tears flowed freely down my cheeks as the horror before me began to unfold. We re-entered the room. Leah was in her wolf form. She tried to attack them but Levan paralyzed her midair.
"I can kill her just as easily as I can take her, wolf, so I suggest you change back." He spat. Leah moved again. She whimpered and phased back to her human form. Tears rolled down her face.
"Convenient." He said as his eyes grazed her naked body.
"Let. Her. Go" He voice was fierce even though she was crying. He set me on the floor this time and I saw Leah freeze again as he took her in his arms.
"I don't think this little one will be trouble but keep an eye on her anyway." He told Ramon. As soon as the door closed, I regained my senses and began screaming and sobbing for Leah. A part of me wanted to tell them that she lied, that she couldn't have children but the only words that escaped my mouth were my useless cried for Leah. I was too afraid. I was terrified. I felt my body crumble against the steel door hopelessly.
I heard another door open and close down the hall followed by the cries. A sudden frantic panic ran through my body and brought me to my feet. I tried punching through the steel walls and door but it was useless. My best friend was being raped and I couldn't do anything to stop them. My only hope was that she could have given someone our location while she was in wolf form but even then it would take them hours to make the run and Leah didn't have that time. Why did I had to be some useless hybrid? A vampire would have been able to punch through the stupid wall but here I was useless! I had only made minor damage but it was all that I could do to keep myself from going insane. I heard the door open and I turned quickly to see Ramon at the door. He approached me slowly before he stopped in front of me smiling in such a way that it made me shiver in fear.
"You might be too young but you are a beautiful girl. No reason why I can't have a little taste of what's to come." He said cynically. The combination of anger and fear that surged inside me was overwhelming. I prayed with every fiber of my being that Jacob or someone would magically appear to rescue us but I knew that it wouldn't happen. No one would come for us, at least not in time to stop this.
It was only a second before he had me pinned to the wall. I remembered how only a few weeks ago I had thought the man I feared most was Jacob. I was wrong. He held both of my arms with one hand above me while his pelvis pinned my lower body. I was trembling, still shocked by the sudden movement and terrified by the evil in his eyes. I felt his hardness against me and I screamed. He silenced me by smashing his cold hard lips against mine. My first kiss I thought miserably. I could feel the bile rise in my throat but he released me and I choked on my own vomit.
"Hush beautiful. Like we said, this can all be very civilized." He smiled sadistically.
"It doesn't mean I'll be gentle but it doesn't have to be savage." He informed me as he touch my breast through my clothes. His lips grazed my neck and he kissed it. Hard enough to cause me pain.
"Your skin tastes amazing. I wonder what other parts of you taste good." He said as he unbuttoned my pants and I felt his hand touch the skin of my lower belly. As his hand lowered, I felt his teeth pierce my skin and his venom entered my bloodstream. That's when everything changed. A rush of adrenaline as well as a pure unadultered panic and hatred spread throughout my body. My vision had turned red as I felt the familiar surge I felt when my power was about to kick in but this time it was more powerful than ever before. He held my hands captive above my head but I didn't need them. The power somehow exploded out of me and poured itself directly onto him. I felt all the fear, horror, and pain radiate out of me in one swift instant.
The power burst only lasted a moment but it was all I needed. He gasped in surprise releasing my neck and he backed up letting go of my body. My instincts took over and I jumped on his back while sinking my teeth into his neck mechanically. It was not the butter smooth feeling of sinking my teeth into elk but more like the feeling of biting into a hard nutshell. Difficult but not impossible. The crunch of his head being severed from his body was one I would never forget but I didn't have time to contemplate on my first kill. I turned towards the door and I noticed that the keys were hanging on the door, so I ran at inhuman speed out of the room grabbing them on my way out the door.
Jacob
Embry phased back and told Brady to call Edward. I saw him phase into a wolf again as Brady dialed Edward. I heard Edward answer the phone in his musical voice.
"Edward! Hey, um. Have you talked to Nessie or Leah?" Brady said anxiously.
"No. Leah called us to tell us she was with her but we're still waiting for Nessie to call. What's going on Brady? Where's Jacob?"
"Look man. I don't want you to freak out but we can't get a hold of her or Leah and just a few minutes ago Jake felt that Nessie was in fear. It was strong. I never felt anything like that."
"Put Jacob on the phone." I heard him say. I didn't want to break the connection in case Leah phased but I let my body cool and change back to human form. I grabbed the phone quickly trying my best not to break it.
"It's me Edward. I it started about 15 minutes ago. Has anyone over there been able to get a hold of them?"
"No. What is it that you're feeling from her?
"She's terrified Edward. It's like she's desperate, angry, I think maybe even in pain. Damn it! I'm going crazy here! Tell me you have some sort of tracker on her phone or something."
"The cell phone has a GPS through the phone company. We activated it when you told us she ran away. She was still in Washington last time I checked. We're checking it now to see if... Jacob, the tracker says she's still in the state. Leah's phone is also there. We're getting flights right now to..." He stopped the moment we heard Embry's whimper. Brady had him on speaker phone so I knew Edward heard the cry and didn't need to explain. I immediately tossed the phone to Brady and phased back. The moment I turned I heard Leah's desperate voice and her thoughts flooded my mind with images in random. It didn't make sense. All I could tell is that two leeches had taken them. Embry and I started running. Brady phased back too and was trying to make sense of it so that he could tell Edward.
Leah where are you?! Embry tried to stay calm but it was hard with both her and my connection. We tried to concentrate on her memories of the building they were taken into.
Fuck! Embry! I don't know! We were hunting in the forest behind some truck stop diner. Wally's I think. They took us south west. I'm not sure how many miles but I'm willing to bet it was close to a hundred or... Wait. They're coming back with her. It worked.
What worked? He asked. That's when we saw her memory desperate cries to take her instead of Nessie. To rape her. They were planning to rape them! We were all filled with our own fear when they reentered the room. One of them held my Nessie in his arms. Tears were rolling down her frozen face. She seemed like she was paralyzed. Leah jumped to attack him but he paralyzed her too midair.
Leah! Fight back Leah!
I can't Jake. She sobbed into our head. She felt defeated. We could feel her pain and horror mix with our own as she realized what was going to happen to her.
I don't know how much time I just bought you. Just save her. They should be distracted long enough for you to save her. Her voice broke into a sob. The fear and pain that gripped me was almost crushing.
No! You don't have to do this. Fight back! I cried but we all knew that it was hopeless. We wouldn't be able to get to her in time even though we were already on our way.
"I can kill her just as easily as I can take her, wolf, so I suggest you change back." He threatened viciously.
Jacob... She sobbed, sounding more vulnerable than I had ever heard her.
No! We all cried simultaneously when we felt her phase. All of us cried for our sister as we ran faster. We knew there was a good chance that Leah might not live through this. Vampires lost control when they mated, one bite and we would lose her. All had now was the hope that she would be his last victim.
Don't you fucking dare think that! Damn it, Jacob! Brady, phase back and tell Edward what happened. Let them know what happened and where they are. See if they can get a flight. There's an airport close to us. Leah ran for hours. She was running much slower than we are but it might be faster to fly. Embry told him, still crying. I was glad he was taking charge for me. The combined emotions from our sister, my imprint and our own were too much. I could barely think. Brady ran back to find his phone and phased just as Seth phased into a wolf. He just had another episode of frantic worry and he was bombarded by our own worry the moment he phased. It took him a minute to make sense of what was happening.
Leah! Oh my God! Leah. How could she do this?! Oh my God, why is this happening? His pain was overwhelming. He still in California. Running with Carlisle and Esme behind him. They were on the phone but I couldn't hear them. It was only a few minutes before Brady turned back.
Seth, Edward said to phase back. You are never going to make it on time by running. They need you, Esme and Carlisle on a flight. They already got a private jut for you but since you left your ID at home you need to sneak in got it! Seth had already changed directions when Carlisle and Esme changed their course.
Yeah, what are they planning? Will they get to them in time?
Edward and the rest of them also got a jet. Don't ask me how. It's faster than a commercial flight but it will still take them almost 2 hours. That should give you guys plenty of time to get to Wally's and find their trail. They said the cell phone was still by some diner off highway 2. They think she was hunting in Sun Lakes State Park.
Got it. Keep in contact with them. I want to know what's happening.
Ok.
We ran faster than we ever had before but it still didn't seem fast enough. We ran for almost 15 minutes when I felt someone phase and I nearly stumbled when I realized it was Leah. She didn't say anything. Her mind still a clutter of painful images. The rape, some little girl, Nessie at the door, all the images seem to come at once and her emotions in turmoil because she was so worried over Nessie. By the time her eyes focused, it was too late. The bastard that raped my beta had sunken his teeth into my imprint, ripping her flesh.
No! I wasn't sure if it was her or me that screamed but she was already on him and she tore his arm in one swift move. Nessie used the distraction and started ripping the arm that was holding her captive. I had never seen her look more like a vampire. She ripped his arm easily but she didn't realize what that meant. The leech was now free to move and attack Leah, who had been moving in to attack his side at the same moment. He bent over and bit into Leah's back. I heard Nessie's frantic horrified scream, "No!", and then it was silent. Leah was gone and so were our final drops of hope.
Renesmee
I wasn't prepared for the scene that was before me. I opened the door and I saw my best friend laying on a small bloody bed, immobilized by her attacker. Beside the bed, a shaking small girl, a hybrid who looked like she was about 5 human years, was holding one of Leah's hands in her own and was covering her eyes with her other tiny hand. Levan turned to me but before he could paralyze me, my gift exploded again. My gift distracted him and I jumped on his back from across the room. He was more focused and skilled than Ramon and he easily flung himself back, smashing me against the wall then he turned around and ripped out a chunk of my shoulder as he broke the bone in the arm he was holding. It all happened within a matter of seconds so I barely had time to process it but when the pain hit me, it was excruciating. I had never felt pain like that before. I was stunned by it, but luckily Leah had already phased into a wolf and started tearing his free arm. I recovered from the shock of the pain and bit into his other arm ripping it easily; however, at that same moment, Leah approached him again. It all happened so fast. As I finished ripping his arm he used that momentum to bend his torso enough to bite into Leah's back.
"No!" I screamed out for Leah in horror. She had immediately phased back to he human form and was screaming in pain, frantic. Levan was still biting into her. Willing my pain away, I let my physical and emotional pain explode out of me and onto him again. This time he groaned as if he were in physical pain letting go of Leah. The moment he let go of Leah, I used the opportunity and I sank my teeth into his neck effectively ripping his head off.
"Leah!" I knelt next to her and started to suck out the venom as best I could.
"Let me help!" The little girl said.
"Venom is lethal to wolves. I have to get it out!"
"I can do it!" The girl yelled at me. Leah had stopped screaming and the girl immediately put her hand on Leah, instantly coagulated blood and venom started to spill out of the wound.
"You're a healer."
"Yes." She confirmed and I saw the last of the venom and fresh blood poured out as the wound began to heal.
"Her blood smells clean. Leah? Her heart is still beating. Leah! Wake up! Why isn't it working?!"
"I don't know. This never happened before." She said as the tears rolled down.
"Are there more of them?"
"No. Just Ramon and Levan." She said it with some emotion I couldn't pinpoint.
"Is one of those monsters your father?"
"No!" She said sharply. "They killed my daddy. When they found out about my powers, they told him they would wait until I grew older to make me useful and it made my daddy angry. When he tried to escape with me the one called Levan froze him and then... and then... "
"How did he find you? Is he a tracker?" I started taking Leah's vitals as she spoke. I was confused by her story. Ramon said he could sense me before but I seriously doubted that his gift was tracking hybrids.
"I don't know what that is but Ramon senses powers, even in humans. He said that's how he knew that my mother would have a baby with a power. He doesn't know what the power is but he can sense the something. He gets a feeling, at least that's what he said." She looked down at her hands regretfully almost pained. "He can sense the power from far away. That's how he found me and daddy. Daddy didn't have powers, he was very old, but I have powers, so, they found us. Ramon killed him. He said if I wanted to live that I had to help him." Her voice broke. Tears flowed down her cheeks and landed on her little hands, which she was now staring at with disgust. I shuddered with guilt and remorse as I became aware of how they found me and Leah. My 's vitals were stable to I turned my attention to the girl. I felt myself wanting to protect her. I held on to that feeling so that I didn't fall apart. There was no time to fall apart.
"Help him how?" I asked her. She began crying, this time.
"I didn't want to help him hurt those women. He made me do it every time. He said he would kill me like he killed them. I didn't want to… I'm not bad!" I began shaking in rage, as I understood what she meant. I let go of Leah and I took her in my arms, protectively.
Vampires have a hard time controlling their strength in bed. They would have mutilated those women before any of them could get pregnant. Levan froze the women, so that Ramon could concentrate on not killing them while he raped them. Even with Levan paralyzing them it had to be difficult. Levan could hold him back from killing them but he would not have been able to keep Ramon from crushing their bones during the act. Ramon would have made many mistakes during the event and she healed them in so that the women could survive it. They made her heal the women as they raped them. How could they do this? She was so young. Too young! I started shaking. Not from fear but from rage. As much as I wanted to fall apart, I knew that I had to stay strong I had to protect her. I had to protect them both.
"We have to burn the bodies vampires aren't really dead until they've burned." I took Levan's head and I ran to the room where I had left Ramon. The little girl followed me. I realized I hadn't asked for her name yet but I was too busy worrying about the possibility of Ramon's body reattaching in the other room. When I entered, I was relieved to see his head was still severed but his body was moving closer to the head, dragging itself, trying to become whole. I almost wanted to allow it so that I could rip him apart again but the pain on my arm and shoulder and the little girl next to me reminded me that I couldn't. I took his head by the hair and headed towards the door. If this was a lumber mill, they had to have an incinerator somewhere.
"Where do they burn the bodies?" I asked her, knowing that if they were killing human women they had to have gotten rid of the evidence somehow.
"I don't know. I never left my room."
"Go stay with Leah. Don't leave her alone. I'll be back in a few minutes." I went up the stairs using my smell to find what I was looking for. The smell of burnt human body was distinct. I had no difficulty finding it. I tuned it on and threw the heads into the fire. I headed back down for the rest of the body parts and burned them too. I instantly felt better. I was still alert but my brain also knew that there was no one else coming for us. I had to gain control of the situation so that I could get help for Leah. I couldn't allow myself to freeze in panic again. I had to figure out how to get us back home.
Alice
I have never concentrated so hard in my life. Not even when I was trying to find Nahuel. I looked for the damn blind spots but I still couldn't locate them. Damn it! This is my niece. My beautiful little niece who I saw grow up with my very eyes, who I held in my arms when she was a baby. Why can't I see her? What stronger connection could there be than that?! Jasper took my hand kissing it and I felt a wave of calm. The others were still in their seats waiting for this wrenched flight to take us to my niece's last location. They were worried, hopeless, grieved but somehow they were less restless than I was. I wasn't used to these types of emotions. I've never really had to worry about what might happen because I've always known. 'It was too late for Leah', Edward had said, 'but we might make it in time to save Nessie'. I tried to hold on to that hope, praying, with all my might, that my niece could make it through. I felt such a desperate need to know if she would be ok and suddenly a vision appeared in my head. I felt Jasper hold on to me tighter as Edward took my other hand.
She was in a field, back in Forks, sitting on the ground with Daisy spread across her lap. She was staring into space. Tears silently spilled down her cheeks. Jasper made a move towards her but I held him back. I walked towards her at human speed and sat next to her. I stoked her hair away from her face and she looked at me. The sadness in her eyed overwhelmed me.
"This is all my fault. My best friend was raped and might die because of me." She whispered sounding like the little girl she was yet looking like a woman who just survived the fires of hell. It tore me to see that the innocence her eyes once had was now gone.
"She will live through this." I said with absolute certainty in my voice.
"Why did this happen to me? To her? Why do the people I love get hurt?"
"As much as I try to predict the future there are some things that I can't prevent. I don't know why this happened but I do know one thing."
"What?"
"None of it was your fault. You saved her. You saved all of them. You did." She wrapped her arms around my waist and started crying. I wrapped my arms around her and stroked her hair.
Then it was gone. I looked into Edwards face. His eyes were tight but I saw that hope there. He wrapped his arms around me and I smiled. My niece would be ok. Leah was hurt but I knew that she would live.
"What is it? Damn it your two! What did you see?" I heard Bella behind us and Edward released me.
"I saw Nessie." I told her smiling. Hope slowly replacing over the worry and gloom I felt before.
"You saw her? How?"
"I don't know but she will be ok. She will save Leah and we will have her home. I saw myself talking to her. She was sad but she was safe."
"Alice..." She hugged me pulling me out of chair. I felt a bit claustrophobic when Emmett hugged me but it was nothing compared to the awkward hug from Rose. Edward was already on the phone with Carlisle. He was getting medical arrangements made for Leah. They were going to make it and that's all that mattered.
