RFTV chapter 7

I followed Beatrix inside and sat down on her couch.
"I'm so sorry about Caitlin," she said.
"She normally comes back after a few minutes," said Dale.
"She'll be back soon," said Bob.
"Now to have some real fun," said Bob.

A few minutes later the two clans were outside. I pushed Dale back and the both of us slid. I admit that was pretty fun.
"Try using your best strength," he said.
"You sure?" I asked. He nodded his head, and we were pushed back flying in the air. I landed far away so I went running back.
"That was fun," I said. At first I wondered why he didn't respond, but then I saw Caitlin.
She ran straight towards me and pulled my arm clean-off .
"Caitlin you idiot!" screamed Lindsey. I gasped and tried to find my arm. I licked it so there would be enough venom for it to go back on. I quickly reattached it, just in time to see her running towards me.

I ducked down and let out a little scream. I also picture the pink force field. She let out a little scream as she slid back twenty feet. I stopped the force field and looked back at her. Dale ran after her and she ran towards a frozen pond. She broke the ice with her hand while Dale was on it (trying to slow him down). Rather then him falling in, I imagined a pink, flat bridge. He kept running without questioning it (he must have known). Both he and Caitlin disappeared out of sight. A few minutes later Dale came running back.
"I lost sight of her," he said , "She's gone."

"Oh no," said Dave.
"What is it?" asked Ari.
"Caitlin told me where she was going telepathically," said Dave.
"Where?" asked Lindsey.
"The Volturi," said Dave. Alexis gasped. Ari grabbed onto me.
"Are you sure," she asked.
"I'm positive," Dave replied.

Imagine having the best life available, but knowing you were probably going to die. That's what I was facing right now. I knew my life would be forever changed; the thing is I didn't want it to be. I sat alone in a small room. Jessica and Beatrix were packing me a backpack outside. The backpack contained: everything from the orphanage (except for one small photo that I let Jessica keep), money, maps, and my bracelet that Jessica made for me with the official cloven symbol on it (a lion, three black hearts, and a boat). Alexis came in the room.
"The Volturi will be coming here so we must go to them in Italy," said Alexis.
"Why can't we just run from them?" I asked.
"Their leader is named Aro and he has the power to read every thought you've ever had," said Alexis.
"So?" I asked.
"So, we'll be in even more trouble if he finds out we were running from them," said Alexis.
"But won't we get in trouble anyway?" I asked.
"We have a plan," she said.
"What?" I asked.
"If we can prove that you can resist then that will prove immortal children can be taught to resist," said Alexis.
"What will that do?" I asked.
"Remember the reason immortal children were illegal in the first place?"
"Right, because of the inability to resist," I said, "It all makes sense now."

Alexis walked out. I was alone again, waiting for Beatrix or Jessica to tell me to come out and put on the backpack. The door opened, but it wasn't Jessica; it was Ari. Right away I hugged her and cried. No tears came out, but I felt like they were about to.
"What if the plan doesn't work?" I asked.
"It will," she said.
"But what if it doesn't?" I asked again. She pulled away from me and said,
"I'm not going to let anything harm you."
"Ari?"
"I Promus." We hugged again and jest as she opened the door I said,
"I love you mom." I knew Ari had wanted to hear that her whole life; and it was true, I did consider her my mom. After a few minutes Jessica opened the door.
"All ready," she said.
I walked outside and got inside the car. Only Elizabeth was there.

"I can't help but thin," I said , "If anything happens to you guys-"
"Nothing will," she said, "Besides we have your powers. All of my clan members got in the car.
"The Damalikes aren't coming?" I asked.

"No, they have to run," said Jessica; I understood why. There was slim of a chance Catlin would change her mind, and they weren't my family. They were however, my friends. What have I done to their lives? Lindsey, the kind newborn who just found her perfect boyfriend. His name was Bob, he always treated Caitlin like a sister. Beatrix, the motherly woman who tried her best to keep Catlin under control. Her husband Dale, who let me have fun while I still had my "old vampire life" (as I am now referring to it). And Catlin, the one who just wanted to protect her family.

Finally, we arrived in Italy.
