Here's chapter 8 enjoy.
8. Escape
Megan P. O. V
"It may not look like it but I'm just looking out for you." Renesmee said then walked past me upstairs with her arms crossed in front of her.
She was right and I hated it, I hated being wrong. I was on my way to the mall when my dad spotted my outfit and once again we had a row. Then uncle Edward let it slip about what happened last night with Niel and next thing we were being kept apart by our family. When Renesmee came in the door I didn't mean to scream those things at her, I felt terrible. They just came out.
I looked around at my family members, all their golden eyes fixed on me to see my reaction. Then I ran, out the door and into the forest.
"Megan!" My mother shouted panicked.
"She wants to be alone." My uncle Edward said and I felt no pursuit behind me.
I ran to a little cave I had discovered last year, it was perfectly round, I had carved the opening into a heart with my hands.
I had books here along with a blanket because sometimes I ran away and I would sleep here.
I lit the candles in the room, I would have to get new ones soon then I grabbed a book and laid down. It wasn't long till I fell asleep.
I woke up to a rocking motion, my eyes opened to see that it was still dark even though I could still see perfectly. I noticed that I wasn't alone, someone was carrying me, the scent wasn't human it was a vampire.
I jumped up and away from the vampire hissing glad that my dad and Jasper had taught me how to fight. I crouched down, hissing furiously at the vampire.
He was dressed in a grey cloak not unlike the ones I had seen in the paintings in Carlisle's office. This was a member of the Voltury guard I had heard so much about.
"This one has some fire in her." A voice came from behind me and I wheeled around to face another vampire in the same attire.
Two to one, not impossible to beat but not easy.
"Yes, but she iz perfect." a heavily accented female voice came from my side.
Four to one I was not going to win this. Maybe I could run, but they'd catch up to me.
"Helena get her, it would not be proper if one of uz put our handz on her." A male voice came, so three guys, one girl.
"Gunther you are all too old-fashioned." The girl said again and stepped out from behind the tree that was hiding her from my view.
She was tall, she had blond, almost white hair that bounced on her back, her skin was extremely pale. She looked like a super-model, almost like my mother.
"What do you want?" I whispered scared now.
"We are Russian coven, we know of your species. We come to bring mate for my brother. He iz like you, half." The girl said.
"Why not just make one? You have plenty of males." I said eyeing the others.
"Yes but they have mates already, and my brother iz stubborn. He want American." She rolled her eyes and came to me, she took my wrist.
"Now, you shall come." She said staring in my eyes, it was like she was commanding me and expected I was actually going to listen.
"I don't think so, you'll have to kill me first." I said planting myself firmly.
"Why does she not listen Helena?" The other male asked.
"She has a protection. We will haf to take her by force." She said then she grabbed me and started running, she had an iron grip on me, I squirmed and tried to jump but she held me.
"Let me go!" I shouted and she suddenly dropped me.
"Ahhh!" She screamed.
"Helena! What has happened?" The man named Gunther said.
"She burnt my hands!" She said. I did?
He bent over her and I ran as fast as I could, I could smell traces of my families scent but they were old, this was one of the forests that we barely hunted in, it was about an hour from the forest where we usually hunted and an hour and a half from my home, even at vampire speed.
"Where do you think you are going?" I heard before one of the vampires appeared out of thin air and I ran into him, his arms made a cage around me. I tried to burn him but it didn't work.
"Let me go!" I screamed but it was no use, then an odd feeling came over me, I was losing all of my energy, I was growing tired until I passed out.
When I woke up I felt a strange material on my body, it felt like...fur?
I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar room, it was built from what looked like ancient stone and it looked like a very old castle. I sat up, I had on a white turtleneck and a jeans.
I got out of the bed and went to the window, what I found was shocking, It was snowing. The ground was covered in snow and judging from the tree a few hundred meters away it was heavy, I was not in America at all.
"You are awake, finally." The same voice I had heard in the forest came from the front of the room.
"Where am I?" I hissed crouching down ready to attack.
"You are in Russia kitten." She said lazily.
"Robert will be here in a minute, have something to eat." she said gesturing to three humans who were asleep on the sofa. When I saw them my mouth began to water, the smell didn't help either. I remembered how Kimlynns blood tasted. The best taste in the world, nothing could ever compare, not even bears. Megan stop! You're not like them, you have to get home now! I thought to myself.
"How long have I been asleep?" I asked.
"Two weeks." she answered and I gasped.
"I want to go home, my family are looking for me." I said, I couldn't leave them after my bitchiness.
"Well you can't, Robert finally, she is yours." she said as someone came through the door.
Robert was tall like Helena, he had the same almost white blond hair and pale skin. But his eyes unlike her vivid red ones were a startling blue. He had a muscular build but not like my dad, more like Jasper. He was attractive, very much so-Megan get a grip! I thought.
"I'm sorry about my sister, she is forward, she considers herself a scientist." He rolled his eyes.
"I want to go home now!" I hissed.
He shrugged, "I have no say in this, their controlling me." He sighed.
"How? You seem normal and you wouldn't tell me so calmly if you were being controled, doesn't it mean that they control what you say too?" I asked, I was getting too logical, wo was I to question?
"They only control your actions, you can say what you want to, I advise that you escape before they control you." He said.
"How?" I asked.
"They never take me outside so I don't know where the exits are, you're on your own there." He said.
"How old are you?" I asked suddenly curious.
"About seventeen years old." He said.
"How come the Voltury have never been here?" I asked.
"Who are the Voltury?" He asked, his eyebrow traveling up.
"Their the rulers of vampires, they wanted to kill my cousin because she was like us, but we had a lot of covens that joined us to defend her, I wasn't born yet of course." I said, why did I trust this stranger like this.
"How long have you been staying here?" I asked, how could they not have heard about the Voltury?
"I think about two hundred years my father has lived here, they barely leave. Only to get food." He gestured to the still sleeping humans. "I have never left this place yet." He said and I felt kind of sad for him.
"Why haven't you ever left?" I asked brushing a lock of my hair behind my ear.
"When I was about your age I was a bit rebellious, I disobeyed them and that's when they started controlling me, I had no free will." He muttered.
"Are they watching us?" I asked.
"No, but there are two at the door, they want to give us 'privacy'." He said making air-quotes. My heart beat a bit faster.
"Come." I whispered very softly.
I went to the door and opened it.
There were two burly vampires guarding the door, they spun around to face me when the door swung open.
I gave the one a round-house kick and sent him flying into the far wall cracking it halfway to the ceiling. The other one was way too big to kick so I climbed around him and sunk my teeth in the back of his neck and with the sound of breaking stone his head was off, we didn't have a lot of time to find the exit.
"What place don't they allow you to go near?" I asked pulling Robert in a random direction.
"The East wing but I think that's the library." He said running with me.
"Wait, I'm being stupid, why don't we just jump out the window?" I said kicking myself for not thinking about that.
I pushed him out through the double-door sized window. We fell a huge distance down, we had been in a huge castle on top of a cliff.
I screamed at the top of my lungs, even though I knew we would live it was unintentional.
When we hit the bottom we rolled downhill and slipped off the edge into the ocean.
"Swim! Swim quickly their coming!" I said as soon as we both reached the surface again. I could see Helena with the other man from the forest.
We swam as fast as we could in the random direction, I assumed we were going north. We lost them after about an hour later.
There was a beach getting close to us, I was tired now, I may be a vampire but I was still kind of human. When we reached the shore I crawled onto the sand and collapsed, glad to be back on solid ground.
"We have to move. They will be here soon." Robert said panting.
It felt like my lungs were on fire, my throat was burning as well, I clawed at it trying to make it stop. I needed blood. Then I smelt humans. I could smell the sweetness of their blood, the delicious beating of their hearts.
Thump, Thump, Thump it was teasing me, taunting me, calling me.
I got up and started running to the smell, I was almost there when I felt that I was being followed. I turned and a snarl ripped up from my throat through my mouth, warning my follower.
It was Robert. When I saw him I remembered who I was, I held my breath and ran to the East, after half an hour of running I finally breathed again, I smelt a carnivore nearby.
It was a snow leopard in the trees. I quickly jumped and before he had a chance to react I had drained him dry.
"Why didn't you go for the humans?" I heard behind me and jumped.
"Vegetarian." Was all I said, I doubted he would get the joke.
"I don't understand." He said.
"My family don't feed off humans, we drink animal blood." I said smelling a heard of moose nearby and running in that direction.
"Why?" He asked softly.
"Shh." I whispered targeting a big one. I leapt silently out of the shrubs and finished that one as the rest ran away.
"Okay, now where the hell are we?" I asked looking around, there was still snow here.
"I don't know." Robert said sounding a bit fearfull.
