Chapter 19
I was mad. No, I was furious. How dare Edward dismiss me like a perpetual child. He had no right to tell me what to do, and why the hell was my body obeying his will, regardless of what I want to do?
"Ah, he's so predictable," I heard someone chuckle.
I looked up to see a man with long blonde hair stalking towards me. He wore a black robe like Alice had when she performed the ritual. It didn't take a genius to figure out that he was Druid.
"Who are you?" I growled. I could feel the claws on my fingers and the fangs in my mouth begin to grow. It was a weird sensation, but I liked it. I guess fear was also a good emotion for helping me transform.
"You don't remember me?" he laughed.
I didn't answer.
"Well, of course, you don't. It was your sister that broke your curse after all. She's not nearly as powerful as you once were. Pray, tell me … Where did you hide your powers? Rumour has it that you hid them near your camp in La Push, but I can't find them, and trust me I've looked everywhere for them. Do you remember where you hid them or should I help you remember?" he asked as a black dagger appeared in his hand.
I snarled as I leaned towards him, ready to pounce. "Stay away from me," I warned.
"Or what?" he asked with a smirk.
"Or you'll find out just how powerful I am," Alice said stepping into the room. She flicked her hand towards him, sending an old food cage flying at him.
He stuck out his hand, stopping the cage in mid-air. It lingered there for a moment before it fell to the floor. "Please child," he sneered. "You are no match for me."
"Maybe not," Alice replied. "But I'm pretty sure between the four of us we can cause you some serious damage."
Edward and Jasper stepped into the room behind Alice, both of them in wolf form and both of them looking extremely pissed off.
I turned back around to gauge the mysterious man's reaction, wondering what he would do, but he was gone.
"Who was that?" I asked Alice, confused.
"Caius, he's our father's right-hand man."
"C'mon," Edward said, grabbing my arm and pulling me towards the door. "Let's get out of here before he comes back with more men."
I didn't bother arguing with him. I didn't exactly want to be here when Caius came back either.
