Charlie’s POV
“This happened about an hour or so ago,” one of my officers told me. “The driver of this car is nowhere to be found. We think he must have crashed and run.”
“What about the driver of the other car?” I asked, inspecting the car in front of me. It looked familiar.
“In hospital. Minor injuries.”
I nodded. The black car that looked familiar to me had received the most damage. The other car, a blue Prius, had crashed into the side of it. No one would have been able to walk away from that. No one except a….
“Is anyone looking for the driver?” I asked the officer.
“Not yet,” he replied. “They’re still questioning the victim.”
I nodded. I now knew who’s car it was. It was Kayla’s. She didn’t drive it a lot on Edward’s advice that it would seem odd she’d have a BMW. I couldn’t afford one and it would look odd if Edward had bought her one. He’s only 19, or so he’s pretending to be. This must have been the car Alice had driven to mine tonight.
“I’ll start looking for the driver,” I informed the officer. “I’ll head into the woods. That would be the most logical place to run to.”
“Do you want some men to go with you?”
“No,” I replied. “I’ll go on my own.”
If anyone found Alice and Kayla in the woods a lot of awkward question would be asked. Like how Kayla was almost seven months pregnant in a short space of time and how Alice had walked away from the crash without a scratch on her.
The officer nodded and I set off into the woods, hoping to find my daughter and her baby without a scratch on them.
Lexi’s POV
“Come on, Gabriel,” I urged my brother. “Just one little sip.”
I held out the unconscious deer to him, trying to persuade him to drink some blood. He shook his head and folded his arms, giving me a firm no.
“You do know you could die,” I said, hoping I was lying.
He shrugged.
I narrowed my eyes at him. He was going to drink blood. I was going to make sure of it. I shot out and grabbed his hand. Caught by surprise I easily managed to use nails to slice open the neck of the deer. Gabriel’s hand flew out of my grip and his eyes flared with anger.
“Look at your fingers,” I said, dropping the bleeding deer to the forest floor.
He looked down and saw that his fingers had blood on them. The anger changed to hunger. I saw him try to fight it.
“Don’t,” I said, nudging the deer closer to him with my feet. “Don’t fight it.”
His eyes slid to the deer and with vampire speed, he lunged on it. He held the deer tightly in his arms, his mouth clamped to the neck drinking it’s blood.
“Good boy,” I smiled, happy to see him drinking.
Suddenly he stopped. His head shot up and his nostrils flared as he took in another scent. He was up and running in the opposite direction before I could ask him what he’d found. I ran after him worried about what he was going to do.
Tess’ POV
How had this happened? How had I gone from being the happiest vampire alive to the most depressed vampire alive? I kicked the ground at my feet, not gently, so now there was a mini crater in the middle of the forest.
I was different last year. I was like any other vampire, feeding on humans, treating them like blood bags. That’s how it was. I didn’t know there was another way until I caught sight of the Cullens feeding on animals. That was when I realised.
Charlie will never take me back now. I’m everything he despises. He hates vampires, especially human blood drinking vampires. It took him ages to even tolerate Edward, never mind like him.
“Kayla? Alice?”
I stood still. That was him. That was Charlie.
He wasn’t far from me. I could go to him. I could apologise. Maybe he would have me back. He might forgive me for turning his nephew into a vampire.
No he wouldn’t. He would never forgive me. I might as well leave.
Kayla’s POV
My teeth sunk into his neck and warm blood flowed into my waiting mouth. He collapsed to the ground, crying out, as his blood poured profusely from his neck and soothed my burning thirst. His blood was too fast for me. Most of it I could drink but some of it overflowed and spilled down my chin. He was silent now. Not a sound escaped from him. That was good; I preferred to eat in silence.
“It’s okay.” Esme rubbed soothing circles on my back. “It’s okay.”
I shook my head, ignoring the pain in it. My vision was blurred, my eyes were watering or was I crying? I didn’t know but one thing I did.
“My dad’s about to die,” I said, quite calmly to Esme. I heard her gasp and she immediately began to argue with me. I let her shout out every argument she could think of while I thought of how I could get to Charlie. How I could save him.
“Just because you had the vision now doesn’t mean it’s going to happen now,” Esme said, rubbing my back again. “Charlie is safe at home.”
“This is different.” I remembered the feel of my teeth sinking into Charlie‘s neck. No, his teeth, not my teeth. “I can feel it. The vision was stronger. I know it’s going to happen now, Esme.”
We both turned as we heard the sound of running feet.
“Kayla!” Alice almost screamed at me. I heard her panic thoughts and stood up, my balance wavering slightly. “I just had a vision-”
“I know,” I said while Esme steadied me. “Let’s go.”
Esme stood in front of me. With my vision slightly clearer I could see a slightly angry expression on her face. She put her hands on her hip and called for Carlisle.
“You are not going into that forest and looking for Charlie,” she told me sternly, like a mother would do.
“Esme,” I said smiling at her. “He is my father and he is in danger. I must go.”
Alice nodded and grabbed my hand, intending to drag me away from Esme. Esme grabbed my other hand.
“You have just had a baby and she needs you!”
“My father needs me!”
“Let Alice find him!”
“I need to go, I’m the one who had the visions!”
“Kayla!”
“Esme!”
“What is going on here?”
Carlisle walked into his and Esme’s room, where it looked like Alice and esme were playing tug of war with me. He looked from me to Esme and then to Alice.
“Charlie is about to be killed by a vampire,” I quickly explained to Carlisle. “I need to go find him.”
Alice nodded vigorously.
“Tell her she can’t,” Esme said to Carlisle. “She’s just had her baby.”
I looked over at the incubator to where my baby lay. My heart swelled with love every time I looked at her. I wanted to stay with her. I wanted to touch her tiny hands and gaze into her big eyes but I had to save Charlie.
I wanted him to want those things too.
“I’m not pregnant anymore Esme,” I said, gently removing her hand from mine. “I’m my old self again. I will be back.”
Before Esme or Carlisle could say anything Alice and I ran from the house.
Edward’s POV
“Edward, calm down!” Jasper shouted at me for the sixtieth time.
“My baby is in danger!” I snarled at him.
“Look, we’re almost here,” Emmett said nervously. “There’s the house.”
I stopped. Who was that running out of the house?
“Alice?” Jasper called, stopping next to me.
“Jasper?”
“Edward?”
“Kayla?”
“What’s going on?” Emmett said. “I thought she was having the baby?”
Alice and Kayla were running over to us.
“It’s Charlie,” Alice and Kayla spoke at the same time.
“Kayla?” I gestured to her lack of pregnancy. Had something happened? Was the baby still alive? Had she died?
Kayla smiled, her green eyes lighting up.
“She’s inside,” she said. “Go see her.”
“What about you?” I asked her. “Where are you going? Can’t you call Charlie to tell him about her being born?”
The light in Kayla’s eyes died. She let her thoughts speak for her. I saw one of her visions, the only recurring one. Charlie dying.
“Let’s go,” I said, taking her hand.
“What about the baby?” Emmett asked.
“Look after her for me.”
Charlie’s POV
Where the hell was I? Had I seen that tree before? Have I walked past that bush?
I was lost. I better face it now. Sighing at my own stupidity, I turned around the spot trying to get my bearings.
Then I realised. I turned around slowly, knowing what was behind me. I knew what was going happen. I’d seen it in her mind. Poor girl had kept it all to herself, but I already knew. She didn’t always remember to keep it out of her mind.
There he was. Somehow I didn’t think it would be him. I thought it would be Tess. But she couldn’t harm me. She’s too gentle.
“I’m so glad you’re here,” I said to him, not liking the look in his black eyes. “I’m totally lost, can you believe that?”
There was no response from him. He just continued to stare. I saw a slow trickle of blood on his chin. He must have been feeding when I wandered in here and he’s picked up my scent. Great going Charlie, I thought to myself.
“Do you remember how you got in here? We can go back the way you came. I’m so silly, me.”
A last resort at conversation didn’t work. Damn. I should have ran while I had the chance. I knew how this was going to play out yet I didn‘t run when I saw him. He tilted his head to the side, scrutinizing me. His thoughts were loud. He was going to attack.
I tried to run but I was either too late or too slow. I heard his feet leave the ground just as someone screamed.
Dun-Dun-Duuuuunnn!!
So anyway, Guys, how you all been???
I know I don't post very often but college is a god damn nightmare. I've just very recently decided that I do not want a career in any of the subjects I picked. Thanks to my lovely readers of Kayla I now may be choosing a career in writing. So if I ever get published my first book will be dedicated to you Guys. Don't you all feel warm and fuzzy inside now?? Haha, but anyway I would just like to thank you all for still coming back and reading when you could all have given up months ago. I appreciate the lovely comments and support you give me.
Love for you all <3<3<3
