RFTV chapter 9
"What an extraordinary gift," said Aro, "Such a shame it will go to waste."
Demetri ran towards us and Ari ran towards him. She grabbed hit foot a flipped him over. Marcus stood up, but Aro motioned him to sit. A surge of pain ran through me, and Jane was pushed back by my wave (caused out of fear, not on purpose).

"It's no use using your powers on her," I heard Demetri whisper to Jane , "You'll just cause another wave to be sent to her." I heard Bob scream in pain.
"Stop!" Dale screamed heading towards Jane. She went to cause pain on him, but he reflected her and she screamed.
"Incredible," said Aro. I turned around to see Caius heading towards me. Alexis, who when she first met me acted like she wanted me (and Greg for creating me) dead, ran from behind him screaming, "Stop, I love her!"

She grabbed Caius arm, and he went to push her away. He wasn't smart enough to figure out how firm her grip was, until his arm came off. Aro's eyes widened and he gasped. Caius screamed as Alexis threw his arm back; and that's when the room erupted in chaos.

Aro went to say something, but Dave angered him by cutting off his sound waves. I could hear Ari's voice in my head. She said, "Behind you." I turned around again, to see Alec headed my way. I jumped up and cast a wave underneath me to shoot me up in the air. I hung on a chandelier on the ceiling; and below me the Volturi had started fire. I noticed everyone fighting. For a second, I thought I saw Marcus die, but it was someone else. I wasn't sure who, but I heard Jessica scream as Alec smiled and held onto her.

They killed Dave.

I loved him, and because of me he was dead. Dave was sweet, and I looked at Ari; her eyes filled with tears as she screamed. Alec tried pulling Jessica into the fire, but Beatrix grabbed him from behind and pulled back his hands. Jessica ran off screaming "Beatrix save yourself!" Beatrix was pushed into the fire and died.

Alec looked up and said "You can't hold on forever." Him and Caius laughed side by side as the chandelier began to fall. I jumped from the falling chandelier and onto the floor. Erik And Aro were fighting, and I heard Ari's voice.

"Go ,run ,I'll be ok," it said.
"But what about the others?" I thought.
"They'll be ok, the Volturi really want you," she said.
"I'll distract them, you run," she said. My eyes filled up with tears as I saw Dale getting slammed on the floor.
"But they'll kill you," I thought.
"It doesn't matter what happens to me, as long as your safe," she said, "With Dave gone….I…I just can't." Finally, I headed for the door. Jane was blocking the way. Erik grabbed her from the back and tried to ply off her neck. There was no way out.

Marcus pulled Erik off Jane. He reached for Erik, but he was too fast. I saw Aro dragging Jessica as death came across her again. She kept screaming until Jane ripped her head off.
"No!" Bob screamed. Lindsey cried more then she did when Beatrix was killed. Elizabeth ran across from me and punched Felix in the face. Felix was the strongest Volturi member, and what he did next proved it. He grabbed Greg and flung him across the room.
"This is the second time your clan had trouble with the children," Caius laughed in memory. Elizabeth grabbed Caius's arm on the floor and threw it into the fire. Them Aro pushed her while Greg watched. I hid behind a throne with Lindsey. Santiago ran straight for Greg. Greg was the strongest in our clan, and his last action was the he pushed the locked doors open. Without Elizabeth, he didn't fight; he just set up a path for me and the others to escape.

The man who had turned me was now dead.

Quickly Lindsey spoke to me.
"Where's Caitlin?" she asked.
"She's dead," I said. Lindsey put her hand over her mouth. I ran towards the door. I took one look back.
"Ari!" I screamed. She was pushed into the fire. I saw Dale reflecting Jane's power once again. Then, while he was distracted Sulpicia ripped off his head and kicked him into the fire.
Lindsey, Bob, Alexis, and Erik ran after me. They knew they could not win so we all had to run. Athenodora and some tracker ran after us. In an effort to save us, Bob turned around and killed the tracker. Athenodora jumped back and stood in shock as Bob took out his lighter and set the body on fire.

"After them!" Marcus screamed. Chelsea grabbed Alexis and hopped on her back. Erik ran after her, while Bob, Lindsey, and I ran. I grabbed my back pack from the car and headed towards the woods. I stopped running, but Lindsey and Bob were ahead of me. They turned around to look at me.

"Come on," said Lindsey.
"Why'd you stop running?" asked Bob.
"I can't just leave them," I said.
"Alexis I can see why, but I thought Erik hated you," said Bob.
"Yes, but I feel guilty otherwise," I said running towards the castle.
"Wait," said Lindsey running. I heard Alexis scream. Out of fear I ran back towards the woods. I ran in between the trees. The snow crunching on the ground. I didn't need to cover my tracks they could smell me anyway.

"Wait up," I said. I put my backpack down to spray on perfume so it would block my scent. Bob and Lindsey kept running. They were safe; or so I hoped.

I heard Lindsey scream.
"Lindsey!" Bob shouted. I ran the other way. I saw it out of the corner of my eye; Lindsey and Bob were dead.

After running a few feet I turned to look back. Tears filled my eyes. The Volturi was coming, and I was too late. Then I saw him, Erik, running towards me.
"Run!" he shouted.
After a few feet he caught up with me and I stopped in the deeper woods.
"What happened to Alexis?" I asked.
"They killed her," he said, "Alec cut off her senses, and they killed her."
"We need to keep running," I said. "It's just you and me," I thought.
"No, Channy," he said. I pulled onto his hand.
"Run, I can still see the castle from here," I said.
"Channy, if we both run they'll catch us," he said.

"No, we have a chance," I said.
"It's too slim," he said.
"Please," I begged. He put me on his back and ran. It was faster then I could run. After the forest came to an end he put me down.
"Run, Channy, run," he said.
"But what about you?" I asked.
"I'll create a distraction," he said. The last time I heard that…..I understood what he meant.
"No," I said.
"Without Alexis life means nothing," he said. His light brown hair was messy, and he tried to keep a straight face. Then he did something I'll never forget, something I would have never expected him to do; he kissed me on the top of my head. "You're very brave, you can do this," he said running back towards the castle, "I love you."

I ran towards the river nearby, and was thinking about swimming. Most of the lake had frozen over, but I was at least forty miles from the castle. I walked near a beaver dam. All the beavers were gone. I saw a nearby cave and I crawled in. The cave was beautiful. It had a blanket of snow on top of it, and it was cold. The cold didn't bother me thought; it's not like it could hurt me. I crawled up in the back corner of the cave a cried. If I was human I would sleep there for the night, but I don't sleep.

Their faces kept popping up in my mind. I knew Erik had died, and it was my entire fault. No one was alive when I left, and it's all because of me. Alexis should have killed me while she had the chance. I managed to destroy two clans in one day. Is that a record?

I knew the Volturi would likely find me here, so I got up and headed for the river. It's a long swim back to Seattle for the last time. Where will I go next? I know to stop at my old house quickly and grab some things, but what about after that? Then what? Do I go to Canada, or Alaska, or maybe even Minnesota. I heard Wisconsin has a lot of snow. I just need a place with little sun. The water is cold. I dive under the ice, and swim.
