Forks, Washington, 2008
Isabella Marie Whitlock Mason Cullen POV
I remained still while Jasper ran towards me. I let my senses take over and took in all the elements of my powers and strength, using whatever I could to win.
He leapt for me and I crouched low, letting his body sail over mine. I heard him hit the ground a few feet behind me and I back flipped so I was facing him again.
I ran towards him the same time he ran for me. We met in the middle with such a collision, our family flinched. I noticed Alice and Edward inspecting each of our moves with worry filled eyes.
Jasper wrapped his arms around my torso and flipped us so that I was now on the ground below him. Before he could lean down to 'bite' me, I tucked my knees into my chest and kicked out, sending Jasper flying into a tree.
The tree groaned and snapped in half, falling backwards with my brother. I stood up and crouched low, my predatory skills peeking out.
Jasper ran towards me again and lunged for my body. I didn't move and took on the full impact of his weight which sent us flying backwards again.
Once my back hit the ground, I wrapped my leg around his calf and flipped us over so that I was on top of him. He hissed at me and I gritted my teeth in concentration. I couldn't have him overpowering me with his strength, now could I?
I then did something that shocked our audience. I raised my fist in the air and sent it sailing towards my brother's face. I heard it collide and watched his head create an indent in the Earth as he hit the ground roughly.
Before anyone could react to my actions, Jasper had grabbed me by the forearms and thrown me harshly to the ground. He pounced on me and I jumped up with my hands balled into fists.
I hit him square in the jaw and he staggered back from impact. He didn't go far and he grabbed my neck and lifted me off the ground, snarling loudly at me. I hissed at him and exposed my teeth.
I let my legs swing back and then I wrapped them around his waist while prying his hands from my neck. He viscously grabbed my arm and twisted it, making my body turn slightly in fear of dislocating my entire arm.
I growled widely and kicked his left thigh, sending him backwards. His grip was still vice like around my arm, so I unfortunately fell backwards with him.
While he was distracted, I risked a peek at our family. Emmett and Rose looked shocked, Rose a bit scared, Esme looked on the verge of tears, Carlisle was applaud by our behavior, Alice looked distraught and irritated that she couldn't see the future (we kept changing our minds) and Edward looked outraged.
What they didn't know was that Jasper and I liked to play roughly with each other. I guess you could compare us to golden retrievers, though I would kill anyone who told me I was a dog.
It was just a sibling thing that reminded us of a time when we had two other brothers who liked to fight dirty as well. We were always playfully wrestling and getting fifty, though my punishments were far worse seeing that I am a female.
Our poor mother almost had a heart attack the day I came back in dirt and sweat. "How do you plan on marrying a boy and starting a family when you can't even keep your decency to look nice and act like a proper young lady?"
I was altered back to Earth when I felt a sharp pain on my left hand. Jasper was twisting it, and smirking sadistically at me. I snarled at him and punched his chest with my right fist.
We continued our brawl until dusk and neither of us was letting up. Edward and Alice objected a few times, saying that we were over working ourselves and someone was going to get hurt.
Jasper and I just winked at them and continued our small but meaningful battle. I was quiet curious myself to see who would win. Jasper and I would constantly tease the other about fighting, but we never really put it to the test like this.
I was starting to believe this fight was never going to end when Jasper suddenly shifted his weight and threw me to the ground. I groaned as I felt my back strain against the earth and hear Edward snarl at my brother.
Jasper smirked at me, thinking I had given up, and leaned down. Quickly, my right hand shot out and grasped him around the neck. I flipped us and stood so that I had Jasper off the ground and dangling in the air with my hand around his neck.
I flipped him over my body and dragged him towards me, placing my foot on his chest and pulling his head up slightly. I heard everyone stop breathing as I knelt down and nipped his neck.
I smiled victoriously and whispered in his ear, "I learned how to fight from Kara. I learned how to win from you." I then let him go and straightened my back. He shot of the ground and stared at me in awe.
"You put all the newborn leaders to shame." He said in his thick accent. I giggled mercifully and patted his shoulder. He smiled at me and rubbed my back gently with his left hand.
"Holy shit!" Emmett exclaimed. This time, no body objected to his language. They all stared in shock. Then as if a meteor touched down right before them, they launched towards us.
I felt Edward's arms wrap around my body and pull me tightly to his chest. I peeked through his arms and saw Jasper and Alice in a similar position. I smiled a little and craned my head back to see Edward's wide golden orbs.
Surprisingly his eyes weren't wide in awe like the others, or even shock. He looked slightly pained and a little worried. I frowned at him. "What's wrong?"
He stared at me and quickly cupped my cheek with his hand. "Seeing you fight like that…with Jasper no less…it just made me realize you don't need me anymore to protect you." His voice was pained and it broke my heart.
I smiled gently at him and stood on my toes to kiss his lips. I pulled back and rested my forehead against his and whispered, "Edward, I need you more than the venom in my veins. You protect me every day, just by existing."
His lips collided with mine in a fiery passion. Our family was forgotten and our need for each other was brought up front and center. I wrapped my arms around him and he placed a hand around my waist and the other around my shoulders.
As things were warming up, we heard a gasp. This wasn't just any gasp, it sounded more like a petrified strangle of air escaping someone's lunges. Edward and I were ripped apart and turned frantically around to see a shell shocked Alice.
"I was wrong." She whispered, staring off at nothing. She looked fucking cationic for God's sake! Jasper ran to her and wrapped his arms around her. "Alice honey, what were you wrong about? What did you see?"
She blinked twice and then shook her head. She looked around at us and the met Jaspers fearful eyes. "The battle, it's going to happen sooner than we thought. We need to go…now." I stopped breathing.
Now? I hadn't realized how time escaped us….
In less than an hour, I could have no family left. In less than sixty minutes, everyone I loved could be ashes. My last living relative could have abandoned me. My love could be torn from my grasp and shredded to pieces right in front of me. If that were the case, I would follow right after.
As if Edward had heard what I was thinking, he picked me up in his arms and cradled me tightly against his chest. I grabbed at his shirt and rested my head against his muscular upper body. He rested his head on top of mine and rubbed my arm comfortingly.
We were silent, as were the rest. There were no comforting words we could have said, because truthfully there wasn't any comfort. We were literally going off to war, what else could we do at this time? So I leapt down from Edward's grip, grabbed his hand, and ran nodded towards Jasper.
He nodded back and soon, we were off into the woods. This time, I didn't notice my surroundings. I wouldn't be able to tell you if there was a forest fire, because I wouldn't have seen it. My eyes narrowed in directly ahead of me to the field were our fates would be tested.
The battle field that could make or break us.
I felt Edward's fingers wrapped around mine, and I felt my brother's presence next to me. I felt my family around me, and as we approached our destiny, I took in a deep breath and exhaled. I let my shield fly out and cover all of them, instantly molding it around their bodies and protecting them.
Nobody could feel my shield, but Edward told me he felt the protectiveness practically radiating off me. I had to smile a little at that.
My smile quickly faded when we burst through the trees and walked out onto the dirt of our once baseball was silent and abandoned looking…for now. The field was quiet large and would give us plenty of space for fights, not to mention we were completely surrounded by forest. We would have to make sure no newborns escaped and ran loose in town.
My family and I lined up next to each other and watched the trees in front of us. Our mates stood close to one another and our stances were rigid with anticipation. For the first time in a while, I looked around at them.
Though there was some fear and pain etched into their expressions, I saw no hints of doubt. For the first time, I felt we were ready.
And we didn't have to wait long.
The ground shook and I could feel my shield tingle like I had been shocked. The trees were suddenly torn down and about fifty newborns ran out. I felt my eyes widen and everyone tense up.
Fifty newborns? We hadn't expected fifty of them!I breathed in deeply and narrowed my eyes at the lot. Jasper sent us wave after wave of courage. I knew he couldn't send us any calm, because he was most definitely on edge himself.
I let go of Edwards hand and crouched low, my legs spread and my elbows bent. The newborn stopped and a chorus of hideous snarls and ferocious growls vibrated through the ground. We remained silent and kept our eyes on all of them. Gold on vibrant red.
A twig snapped from the left of the newborn army but none of them reacted. Our family, however, turned slightly to see who was approaching. Our eyes widened and I heard Esme and Alice gasp. The rest of us snarled.
I fucking knew it.
"Tanya" Carlisle gasped, sounding appalled and...angered? Yes…Carlisle was angry. It was an unusual sight, but I couldn't blame him. We all knew the Denali clan wasn't as good as we once thought, but I hadn't known the hate went this deep. It kind of hurt.
Tanya had a cold expression on her face. No emotions what so ever. Suddenly I took in she was holding someone's hand and I looked to her right. This time, my growl was the loudest. "Alexander" I snarled loudly, making the newborns antsy for battle.
I didn't know he had taken my advice and went to Denali. I honestly can say I would have never thought this would happen. Of course I knew they weren't our friends, but…oh God. This betrayal was horrid, especially for our kind mother Esme who had once babied the Denali sisters like her own.
"Hello again Cullen's" Tanya replied monotonously. We narrowed our eyes at her. Alexander stepped up so he was leveled with Tanya and they stood in front of the newborns.
If I hadn't been so pissed, I would have been slightly impressed the newborns had held themselves back this long.
"How could you do this to us, Tanya? To your family?" Carlisle questioned angrily. Tanya's eyes flashed with emotion, but she held it well. She just blinked and replied in the same cold voice as before, "I'm doing this for my family."
Esme frowned and looked like she was about to say something in that soft-motherly tone of hers. But Rosalie hissed at Tanya and gritted, "How the hell is betraying us and taking innocent lives helping your family?"
Tanya finally showed some emotion and she frowned at Rose. "Haven't you heard?" She snarled back at my sister. I had to suppress a growl, though I was slightly curious to see what Tanya meant.
"Kate left us the day we returned from your house." I froze in shock and felt everyone else looking at her with curiosity and wariness. "You must have brainwashed her, she defended Bella." She spat my name.
My family hissed at her, Jasper and Edward snarled loudly. Alice and I had to restrain them by placing our hands on their chests as a warning. I was going to defend myself with a snarky remark, but then Tanya continued.
"While I ran after her in hysterics, begging her to return, Laurent and Irina left us a note explaining they were leaving for a few months. Eleazer and Carmen haven't showed their faces since the day my sisters left. It's just been me."
As horrible as that sounded, I couldn't even harness enough pity to frown. She was practically sentencing my family to death, and that doesn't fly with me. "Although I guess I should thank you. A few weeks later, Alexander showed up."
She smirked and then looked up at Alexander with such emotion in her eyes. He shared the same look and they tightened their grip on each other's hands. I heard Jasper inhale quickly and I turned to my right to see him slightly wide-eyed. I knew what that meant.
Alexander and Tanya were mates.
I felt nauseous.
I could tell the rest of my family pieced it together, seeing as they all watched their hands with hawked eyes. Edwards's lips curled in disgust and I found myself suppressing a tiny snort. Of course our stalkers would find love with each other. Can anyone say, match made in hell?
"I still don't get it. How is this helping your family?" Emmett asked confused, I didn't blame the guy for once. Tanya bit her lip and held onto Alexander like a life line. We all looked at him when he began to talk instead of Tanya.
"Tanya received horrible news a few weeks ago that her sister, Irina, and her mate, Laurent, were murdered. We're here sort of as…tribute. If we didn't help her, she would have killed Kate."
My brows burrowed and I saw Tanya literally shrink away from everyone. I glanced at Edward and saw him frowning as well. This was all so overwhelming! "Wait…she?" Emmett questioned.
I whipped my head back to Alexander and then realized what Emmett meant. He said 'she would have killed Kate.' Carlisle spoke up this time, realizing Emmett's theory was head on.
"Who is threatening you sister, Tanya?" Though he was frustrated with the strawberry blonde, I could hear the sympathy in his voice. I almost huffed. Carlisle was too kind. I can see how he's perfect for Esme.
"That would be me." A high pitched baby voice called from behind them. I felt my breathe catch in my throat. A head of fiery red hair and snow pale completion appeared from the bushes.
Victoria.
The newborns stared at her for a few moments and I realized they probably didn't know who their master was until this moment. This must be why Alice couldn't see their decisions. Victoria had Tanya and Alexander making them…and apparently Laurent and Irina were before.
Victoria let out a snide giggle that had my skin crawling. "Irina and Laurent were very useful to me, but poor little Irina made the mistake of trying to warn you about my army." She tisked and shook her head mockingly.
I felt sick. Irina had tried to warn us? That changes things drastically. And then Victoria killed her and Laurent, to which she took Alexander and Tanya as leverage. This is so fucked up.
"Tanya and Alexander proved to be just as worthy, possibly even more." She voiced my thoughts in her mockingly girly voice. I narrowed my eyes at her and she grinned widely at all of us.
"You Cullen's should have been prepared. You should have known I wouldn't leave without revenge." She hissed at us, letting her rage boil through her vibrant red eyes. A part of me, no matter how small it was, slightly pitted her. Had anyone killed Edward, I would have most definitely sought revenge as well.
She didn't let us talk, so she continued her hysteric speech. "You killed James! So now…I'll kill you." With that she raised her arm and let it drop. The newborns launched forward and I tensed, waiting to charge at them.
I looked towards Jasper and he nodded. I looked towards Edward and he quickly kissed my temple. Then I knew I was ready. We ran towards them and collided in the center of the field.
The sound was furiously loud and the ground seemed to pulsate with massive shock waves. Immediately, people were thrown into small fights, each clawing or throwing punches at their opponents.
I noticed Carlisle and Esme were working as a team, Rosalie was keeping close to Emmett, Emmett was laughing, Alice was doing crazy acrobatic tricks for her victories, and Jasper and Edward were close by me each engaged in their own fights.
I saw a girl about my height running towards me and I braced myself. She lunged in the air and I caught her around the neck and struck her back to the ground. She put up a good fight, but no less than twenty seconds later she was torn apart.
I didn't stop though and I quickly turned around to face a black haired male who was running towards me. I ran to him and blocked his punches. He managed to hit me hard in the right shoulder and I stumbled a bit.
I lifted my right leg and round housed him, taking his head off at the force of the blow. I smirked a bit, that was my favorite move. I quickly ran towards two blonde girls who were back to back. They looked like twins.
"Well well, if it isn't the Olsen twins." I said with my sadistically mocking voice. They turned on me and snarled fiercely, clearly pissed. I guessed they got that joke often. "What? Would you prefer the name Barbie?"
"You bitch!" One of them shrieked and pounced on me. I fell to the ground with her on top of me but quickly flipped us over. Her twin, however, jumped on my back and sandwiched me to the ground.
"Ooohh, you like to play dirty" I playfully smirked. The one below me snarled and snapped at me. Luckily, I jumped up just in time and knocked the other one off me. She ran back at me and I quickly stuck out my leg and tripped her.
While she was down, I pounced on her and let my teeth graze her neck before they dug into her cold hard flesh and ripped her head clear off her body.
Her twin let loose a painful scream and ran towards me. I turned and crouched, awaiting her wrath.
Suddenly a giant figure hurled from the side and threw her to the ground. I snapped my head to my left and saw Emmett shredding the girl to pieces.
He looked up and gave me a classic Emmett smile. I winked back at him and ran back into action. I saw a tall male running behind Alice and I quickly lunged and took him to the ground, decapitating him in a second.
All around me were the sound of metal being shredded apart, screams of agony, and the slight sound of rain which collided with the heavy thunder. Just our luck it began to rain harder half way into battle.
I scanned around the field when suddenly something caught my eye. A flash of bronze. I hurled myself forward and saw Edward was fighting with two vampires, a male and his mate.
The male threw him to the ground and held him down while the female prepared to tear his head off. I snarled loudly, shocking both of them, and charged at the girl. I threw her to the ground and landed harsh blows onto her face. She screamed and tried to claw at me, but my rage was stronger than her self-defense.
I heard a deep snarl behind me and saw the male charged at me. Edward growled ferociously and threw his fist out, colliding it with the males face. A sudden burst of pain filled my left wrist and I hissed. The bitch bit me!
I quickly snapped my wrist forward and latched it onto her neck, squeezing with all my strength. She gasped and chocked while trying to pry my hand from her neck. Quickly, I twisted my hand to the side and ripped her head clean off her body.
I heard another metal shredding tear from behind me and turned to see Edward removing the males head. He looked up at me and ran towards me, enveloping me in his arms. I wrapped an arm around him and stood up. He looked deeply into my eyes and leaned in to kiss me.
I kissed back and let my hand travel to his cheek. "For the love of…" we heard someone sigh from in front of us. "Will you two quiet the PDA and help us!" Rosalie hissed. I chuckled with Edward and raced back into battle.
I looked around and spotted Jasper in a heated battle with three newborns. I ran towards them and grabbed a newborn off him. I dismantled his body quickly and turned to see Jasper taking down another one.
The last newborn looked slightly afraid and backed up a bit. I smirked and grabbed him by the forearms, forcing his back to arch. I raised my brow at Jasper and his smiled at me. Then he launched his arm forward and tore the newborns head clean off.
Jasper and I decided to tag-team and kill a vast majority of the newborns with our combined skills. It was definitely easier than working alone. Occasionally we stopped and helped other members of our family, but we fought best with each other.
After helping take down another newborn, I looked around and noticed with shock there was still a decent amount left. We managed to kill about twenty three, leaving us with twenty seven newborns left.
I heard the sound of light foot falls from behind me and turned around, crouching low. I froze with fear when I saw them step out of the tree lining. They weren't newborns, but something much deadlier. Nine cloaked figures. The Volturi.
I saw Jasper go rigid next to me and glance at me. The two of us had the worst experience with the Voluri, seeing as they hunted down newborns armies and dismembered them. Not to mention they have been hunting me personally ever since I escaped the throne room during our raid.
One of the smaller cloaked ones stepped out and surveyed the area. It seems my family hadn't realized we had visitors yet, nor did the ravenous newborns. I could see a coy smile playing on their lips and heard the childlike chuckle of sadistic humor.
Jane.
"Mind if we join?" She mockingly asked and tilted her covered head. My brother and I remained silent and I admittedly felt like I had shrunken behind him. If I had to list the things that scared me, the Volturi would definitely be one of my worst fears.
A slightly taller person stepped out and placed their hand on Jane's shoulder. "Now, now sister. Let us not play around." Her twin, Alec, said in a fearfully calm voice. The same voice the Volturi had perfected to make the rest of the vampire world cower in terror.
I felt so stupid. Of course I should have known the Volturi would come after us. No newborn army has been reported for over a century, or at least none that we have heard of. This was bound to reach Italy. We really should have been prepared. I failed my family again.
Three cloaked figures emerged from behind the twins and took down their hoods. I stared at the brothers as they surveyed our battle. With one swift flick of Aro's hand, the rest of the guard launched into battle.
It was an ironic moment to witness. The guards actually helping our family rather than terrorizing it.
I turned around when I felt the presence of yet another newborn. Without thinking, I just let my mind battle for me. I pushed out my arms, releasing my physical shield in the process. My family was still being covered by my other (mental) shield.
"Ah, your powers have grown stronger young Isabella." Aro whispered behind me. I spun back to face him and felt myself fall at the ground in front of him. The newborn had launched back at me and I had been too entranced in fear to focus.
My physical shield needed work, and I rarely ever used it because it drained me. Instead, I just shot out my arms and twisted off the victims head and flipped back into action, ignoring the staring brothers.
Aro, Caius, and Marcus rarely fought. They just stood back and watched their guards do the dirty work while they criticized everything. It unnerved me to no end.
I ran across the field, dogging newborns and brawls as I went. I leapt over one of the guards as they took down a hissing male. Once my feet were on the ground, I let my arms spread and pushed back at least four newborns as they ran at me.
I winced as the shield strained against me, but nevertheless I willed myself to be strong.
My family had noticed the cloaks as soon as they joined the fight. I could tell they were shocked and fearful, but they didn't argue yet. If the guard was going to help kill off the vampires who wanted to kill us, we were more than willing to welcome them.
Oh the irony.
I turned my head back and noticed one of the guards still hand left Aro's side. I tilted my head in confusion and narrowed my eyes at them. I saw a flicker of curly black tendrils fall from the hood and a flash of blazing red eyes. I noticed how whenever someone approached the brothers, namely Aro, she would shift her weight in almost a protective stance and slightly hold out her hands.
It then occurred to me that my shield felt…wrong around her. Almost like she was trying to fight me off as well. I remember having a talk with Carlisle and learning about the Volturi for the second time around. He explained to me they had their own personal guards, and this seemed to be like one of them.
It occurred to me that this was Renata. She was a physical shield, like me, but possessed an almost numbing atmosphere around her. It has been said that whoever approached her shield find themselves at loss as to what they were doing. Almost like they forgot why they were even there in the first place.
I saw Alice a few feet away from her with Emmett by her side and decided I would experiment something. I hesitantly pushed my mental shield out and felt this electric current run through my mind, as if I was shocked. I gritted my teeth and kept pushing until finally, her head whipped up and locked eyes with me.
She narrowed her eyes at me and I pushed my shield further into her orbit. She snarled and closed her eyes while raising her hands. Her eyes shot open the same time she thrust out her fists. I grunted when I felt the strange shock run through me.
I didn't back down and I shoved my shield back at her. I noticed how she cringed and I took that to my advantage. I smirked and pushed harder, and I even saw her trembling. Aro placed a hand on her and most likely took in her thoughts.
I saw his head shoot up and scan the field, searching for me. I then realized I should probably be helping kill newborns, not messing around with the other shield. I quickly ran off to find a new kill, but was stop abruptly when I slammed into a broad chest.
I stumbled back in shock and looked up. It wasn't Emmett, but Felix. I hissed at him and he chuckled. I tried to run around him but he grabbed me by the forearms and held me captive in front of him. "And here we are again." He purred and I rolled my eyes. He had been the one to take me to the throne room when I was caught during the raid.
"How about you play damsel this time around?" I sneered and leaned down to sink my teeth into his hand. He snarled in pain and withdrew his arms while inspecting the silvering crescent forming between his thumb and index finger.
"You little bitch!" He growled but before he could place a hand on me, another fist shot forward and collided with his face. I turned to see Edward growling with his hands clenched into tight fists.
"Go help the others, love. This one is mine." He hissed without taking his eyes off of Felix. I smiled and leaned up to kiss his cheek before running off to find Esme. I can't believe I forgot about her! I hope Carlisle was helping her.
I couldn't see them so I decided it was time to use my other power. I quickly ran into the shadows of the trees and let my black wings escape their prisons. Once I was in the air, I glanced down at the battle below me.
The newborns were dropping like flies with the amount of our numbers and strength of our experiences. I smiled when I saw Carlisle with his arms spread defensively in front of our mother. I should have known he wouldn't let Esme touch a newborn. She was chuckling slightly behind him and my smile grew to see she shared my thoughts.
Emmett was being his usual pain in the ass/ erotically happy self and was laughing while tearing off limbs. Rosalie was snarling at her opponents and I had to say she looked like the goddess Athena as she fought them off.
Alice looked more like a ballerina than a warrior and at the moment was helping my brother take down a mated pair. Jasper was in full on war mode with concentration spewed across his face, though I detected some worry whenever he glanced at his mate.
Edward was still in a heated battle with Felix and I noticed another cloaked figure running towards them. I growled lowly and launched my physical shield out, knocking back the guard. The hood flew off on impact and I saw Demetri looking around for the source of his fall.
I stifled a laugh when I saw him retreat, no longer caring that his companion was fighting with my husband…and losing. I felt immense pride within me when I noticed Felix was missing a few limbs and looked exhausted meanwhile Edward looked energetic and eager for his death.
Though we should have been thinking of the consequences of killing a guard, I don't think the brothers will mind. They didn't seem too fond of Felix and only kept him around because of his strength, he had no power. Also, we could just lie and say a group of newborns teamed up and killed him while he was distracted.
I knew Edward had been itching to fight Felix ever since I told him about his strange lust for me. I noticed it during the raid and normally would have thought nothing of it. But the guy practically felt me up while he dragged me to my 'death'.
I let my wings fold into my back and fell back to the ground. I landed soundlessly on my feet and looked around for any stray newborns. None of them were left, and it appeared people were teaming up to finish the last of them.
I began to slowly walk back to Edward when I noticed Jasper staring off into the forest with the most horrified face I'd ever seen him display. His eyes were wide and mouth slightly opened with his brows furrowed. I whipped around and scanned the forest and felt my expression mirror his own once I saw the cause of his terror.
"Maria." I heard his strangle whisper the same time I said "Kara."
Forks, Washington, 2008
Diego's POV
"Remember what we've told you. Stay low for now but once we near the tree lining, remain calm until we give orders." Kara hissed at us and walked with Maria in front of our group.
I remember exactly what they had told us. And it was my entire fault we were in this mess to begin with.
Once I had explained to them what was occurring in Forks, Maria thought it would be brilliant to attack the Volturi while they were distracted and away from home. Kara was slightly more reluctant, but was persuaded into agreeing anyhow.
Bree remained by my side and I clenched onto her hand with an almost painfully desperate grip. I had just found her and now I was risking losing her. All for what? Some stupid revenge for our masters.
As we approached, I saw our masters stop in their tracks and look off at the tree lining. The rest of us stopped and watched them cautiously. They could snap at any moment.
Suddenly, Maria let out a slightly appalled whisper. "Jasper?" Kara said with equal confusion and shock, "Isabella?" I looked ahead and saw two figures staring in horror at our masters.
Oh crap.
What do you think 's guna happen? Thx for reading!
