Chapter 7
As I waited in the small room for a verdict to be made, I heard Aro talking to Caius about what was going to happen to me and Alice. Forced to join? Sent to death? Forced to kill a human? The possibilities were endless. But I overheard one important word "Blood" said Aro. I was guessing he was going to make Alice and I starve then force us to drink from a human. We couldn't. I couldn't. I rather die than go back to having that feeling, after the human's body lie lifelessly on the ground as you wipe the blood off yourself.
I remember the first time I got a taste of human blood; it was an intense feeling of sweet, enough to make you smile after you're done. "Rose stop" I thought to myself I could feel the excessive flow of venom arise in my mouth. I started to think about everything. Edward. Bella. Alice. Nessie. Once we got into the castle I didn't hear or see them, even smell them. So they must have been far or covered up by something else. I turned to look out the window, guessing it was about three when the sun is highest in the sky. "A window!" I thought. "I could break the window, have enough time to run to get Alice, and then run to find the others, before the Volturi could catch me.
I put my elbow into the window and glass came shuttering down into millions of pieces. That made a bigger bang than I imagined. I jumped out and ran toward the other side of the building. Behind me I could hear
"Aro? Rosalie has escaped from the room and is running away." Demetri said to him.
"Then get her. I want her here, I want to her to kill someone for me, and then I will kill her. She's exposing all of us." Aro said getting angrier by the moment.
I knew this wasn't a good idea. Should I just stop now? I could just go into the woods and hunt. And come back. Ha. That's what I'm going to do.
The woods were far from where the Volturi were located, but I just kept running. It was about five minutes of running until I got to some woods that had some animals.
I sank my teeth into the warm side of the animal and the blood went down my throat. Soon I was done and looked down at the bleeding animal that was whimpering.
I got back up and turned around to run back, but was met with Demetri and Felix.
"Let's go!" Demetri said harshly grabbing my wrists while Felix pushed me from behind.
I pushed Demetri off and ran. But they weren't too far behind; I could hear every footstep they made.
"We will get you. You mine as well give up. Save yourself the effort and time. Aro doesn't like waiting. The longer it takes here, the worse your punishment will be." He laughed
That's where I made the worst mistake of my life.
