I couldn't put into words what I was feeling. Edward and Alice both saw what happened, we had hurt them both. At this point I couldn't even believe that Edward would want to be with me. On the upside we were technically broken up, but still it was still Jasper and that wouldn't excuse what I did to Alice.
Jasper made me feel alive and happy. At first it was just flirting, I'm not sure what happened at the waterfall. One minute were swimming around laughing and the next we're all over each other. There was also that little fact about how intense it was. Edward had never really let himself get loose around me, I wondered if the same thing would happen with him. Although kissing Jasper was different then Edward, Edward left me breathless, Jasper gave me tingles.
Facing Edward and Alice would be torture, if it was up to me I would slip away. Technically I could ask for a ride to the nearest airport. I might have enough money in my savings to buy a ticket home. Worst case scenario I'd have to call Charlie for some extra cash or Jacob. Either way tomorrow was going to be a rough day.
Sleep seemed impossible. Every position I rolled in was more uncomfortable then the next. I thought of my life before Forks and how simple and boring it had been back in Arizona. Soon I felt myself drift off.
I awoke to a loud bang. The noise startled me so much I screamed. I heard a women scream and then more noise. My body shook with fear, it sounded like Angelina's voice. I threw on my sneakers and creaked open my bedroom door.
The entire hallway was filled with smoke. Thinking back to what I learned from Charlie's emergency fire drills, I dropped to the floor and started crawling. The noises continued and I had no idea what was going on.
I could see the kitchen up ahead and something on the floor. My heart pounded and I moved a little slower. There on the floor was Angelina being torn apart by some kind of animal. My eyes popped out of my head as I saw the beasts sharp fangs, werewolf.
The werewolf hadn't seen me yet and was too occupied with his present meal. As quickly as I could I crawled backwards until the kitchen was out of site. The house continued to fill up with smoke. The closest door to me was the bathroom. There was a window in there that I might be able to jump out of.
It took an enormous amount of willpower to jump onto my feet and bolt into the bathroom but I did. The minute I was inside I locked the door. I'm sure the lock would prove useless but it made me feel safer. I unlocked the window latch and peeked outside. No one was around, and the coast appeared to be clear.
Using the toilet for leverage I pulled myself into the window and dropped outside to the ground. My eyes watered up, if Angelina was dead what about everyone else? If the werewolf caught my scent there would be no where to run. The quads were too loud and to far from where I was. My only solution was to hide until whatever was happening ended.
My only options were the nearby well and barn. The well might be good because the water could hide my scent but what if I couldn't get out? The barn probably had animals in it and that might work.
As fast as I could I ran to the barn and slid inside. There were a few stalls with horses, who all seemed unsettled. I felt awful for the animals that were stuck in there. If the fire reached the barn at all I would have to make sure to set them all free.
Looking around I saw a top level that I could get to by the ladder. There was another scream outside and then gun shots. I scurried up the ladder and found a spot in the corner behind some hay. My only chance was that no one would bother with the barn.
My life was becoming one big drama and where was Jasper? I'd feel a million times better if I had a vamp bodyguard right now.
As I waited reality of the situation began to sink in. Even though I was alone, I couldn't cry. If I let just one tear slip I would be a blubbering mess and that might give away my location.
The barn door slid open and I heard someone whisper to one of the horses. Knowing that there was a non werewolf in there gave me hope, maybe this person could tell me if we were safe.
I got out of my hiding place. "Hello?" I kept my voice just barely over a whisper.
Stephan's son Anthony looked up at me. His face was smeared with blood and he looked terrified. "It's not safe you must get out of here quickly." He grabbed a saddle off the wall on placed it on the horse.
"I don't know where to go…is everyone?"
"Dead, they are all dead."
His statement hit me like a ton of bricks.
"There's no time left, if we run off we might make it to town before they catch us."
My body moved on pure instinct and within a few minutes I was by his side. Anthony grabbed another saddle on put it on another horse. When the horses were geared up he led them out of their stalls, whispering to keep them quiet.
Riding horses was something I didn't care for. The horse I usually ended up on was always stopping and eating and then trying to bite me.
Anthony boosted me up and made sure I was all strapped in. "Follow me, and if we separate just head towards the mountains, you'll see the town."
There were so many questions I wanted to ask but I was so afraid. I opened my mouth to speak and nothing came out. Anthony's eyes watered as he locked gazes with me. "Everything's going to be fine, just stay close."
I nodded.
Anthony grabbed a bag that was on the floor and a shotgun (which he must have brought in with him). He held his horse's reins and walked over to the back of the barn. My horse followed, which I was thankful for. Anthony slid open the back door and hopped onto his horse. He clicked the horse's side and then we were both running off into the woods.
For once luck was on our side. We managed to ride out without any problems. My heart pounded as I desperately held onto my horse. The white stallion followed Anthony's horse without question and never stopped to bite me or eat grass. I guessed that they wanted to be as far away from the villa as we did.
My thoughts went to Jasper. I had no idea where he ran off to or if he even knew what was going on. Eventually he would return to the villa and see the carnage. Hopefully he could pick up my scent and be able to track us.
Maybe Alice would be watching for me and see where I was and then all three of them could come. Before I had been so terrified to face any of them but now, just seeing a Cullen would set my heart at ease.
We rode for a few hours and finally stopped just as dawn was breaking.
"The town is only a few more miles and then we should be safe. We'll rest here for a bit and then head in."
Anthony tied up the horses and sat down on the ground. I sat down across from him and watched as he opened up the bag he had brought. My curiosity finally got the better of me.
"Why would werewolves attack your family?"
Anthony picked up a nearby stone and began sharpening a knife.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry."
"Your pretty perceptive, how did you know they were werewolves?"
I could feel my cheeks turn a thousand shades of red. "Lucky guess?" Whether he believed that statement or not he didn't push the subject further.
He held the knife in his hands flipping it back and forth between his fingers. "There are some people who wanted my family's land, and wouldn't take no for an answer. My father waited too long before he took action and well…if all of us are dead the deed would fall to the bank were it could be bought up."
"Don't you have any other relatives?"
"An uncle, but he had a falling out with my father years ago and is not welcome in our house. I doubt he would raise a finger to help me."
I could see his dark eyes watering. A part of me wished I could tell him about the Cullen's and that they could keep him safe but I knew that was out of the question. Letting out the secret would have enormous repercussions and I was already in hot water.
Anthony stood up. "I'm going to go the bathroom and then we'll be on our way."
My lip trembled. I was terrified of being alone.
"Don't worry I wouldn't leave a woman without protection." He walked over to his saddle and pulled out the shot gun and a small box. "This will keep you safe, if anything happens just pull back to cock it and if you run out of shells there are more in here." My hands shook as they grasped the gun and he handed me the box. "I'll only be a few minutes and if you see or hear anything just point up and shoot out a warning and I'll come back."
All I could do was nod. He looked at me with the saddest eyes and dashed off behind the trees. My legs gave out and I fell on the ground. Cradling the gun I wondered how I always ended up in these disastrous situations.
