The trees flew past me in a blur as I made my escape, I could hear the sounds of my pursuers not only as they followed me but in their minds too. The jumble of thoughts was constant and unrelenting, the only ones that I could clearly make out from the four minds hunting me were.

"Aro will have our heads if we allow him to escape!"

"How did she not know that he would do this?"

"He's mine."

"Fools! How stupid to allow him to escape so easily."

Then one single solitary word that once again would be my undoing. "Bella."
