Chapter 24: …With Fate
Slowly my eyes opened my head was throbbing. Nahuel stood over me with an unreadable expression on his face. “Are you alright?” He asked me. I jumped to my feet warily, and then had to grab onto the side of a tree because I became so woozy I thought that I might pass out again. I put my hand on my head and noticed that I was bleeding. Suddenly Nahuel looked at me strangely. “Stay away from me,” I told him, “I heard what you are up to and you won’t get away with it, Nessie is very well protected. You can’t get to her.” He looked at me curiously and took a small step towards me, he spoke quietly, “Sienna whatever are you talking about?” he asked innocently. “I heard you on your cell, talking about hurting Nessie, “My voice was barely a whisper, and my vision kept shifting so that I almost couldn’t even see him. He walked a little closer to me with that strange look in his eyes, “Sienna you are not making any sense you hit your head so hard that you passed out,” I looked at him through narrowed eyes, “I know what I heard Nahuel” I uttered through gritted teeth, I went to step around him, “You better run while you still can I advised him as I headed back to the school, blood dripping down the front of my beautiful white gown. He placed his hand on my shoulder in an attempt to stop me, I tried to push his arm off of me in my fury, but something cracked. I fell to the ground in pain, my shoulder dislocated. “You just couldn’t’ let it go, could you he hissed into my ear. You had to be the hero, didn’t you, you shouldn’t have eavesdropped on me Sienna. That was a very stupid thing to do.” I still lay on the ground trying to breathe through the pain I felt as though my shoulder was on fire. I managed to hop to my feet, I had my stiletto shoe in one hand and I turned around and smacked him in the head with it as hard as I could, he laughed and knocked it out of my hand. I started backing away from him at that point because something started to click in my head. Nahuel seemed too strong to be human, and he was very familiar with Nessie’s family no one in Forks that was human was that close to the Cullen’s … “Oh no,” I uttered weakly. He smiled at me, “Are we just figuring things out?” He sneered. For a brief moment the crazed look left him and he looked at me pleadingly, “Listen Sienna you have to run I don’t want to hurt you, I will try to control it for as long as I can to give you a head start but you have to get out of here, warn Renesmee I do not want to hurt her either but they are making me.” I looked at him, mesmerized even though I knew I was wasting my precious moments, “Who Nahuel, who is making you do this?” He looked down, The Volturi has my aunt and sisters they will kill them if I do not kidnap Renesmee and bring her back to them. They want Renesmee the most but they also want Edward, Bella and Alice and they know that Renesmee is the ideal bait. RUN” he snarled I turned from him and attempted to run back to the gym but the blood was dripping into my eyes at this point and I couldn’t see where I was going my arm hurt and I was so tired I just wanted to lay down. If it was just my well being that was the concern I would’ve given in but I had to warn Nessie I ran as far as I could, all of a sudden Nahuel was in front t of me again. This time the evil scowl was back on his face, almost like a mask. His eyes were bright red. “Too late” he growled at me he picked me up and threw me. I flew through the air for what felt like an eternity, and then I landed against a tree back first with a sickening crunch. I slid to the ground I couldn’t feel my body anymore I struggled to breathe as Nahuel stood over me, “It would be a shame to waste such a delicious meal…” he growled he took my wrist and bit down I tried to scream but couldn’t my hand was instantly on fire I tried to rip it away from him but I couldn’t move. All of a sudden I heard someone yelling my name; Nahuel dropped my arm and ran into the night. My body continued to burn, among my last thoughts were my family and how I knew they wouldn’t care, then Seth sweet Seth, how I loved him, I didn’t want to leave him. Then the hardest my new family, the one that I would never have a chance to become a part of; and Nessie poor Nessie there was no way for me to warn her now. I had failed, I closed my eyes in defeat as my breathing became more and more labored… and then I floated away burning and fading….
