CECILIA WAS SCARED when Edwards words told the group of three that Jacob had just gotten there. Seth was intently listening to the pack connection, the vampire translating his thoughts into sentences then.
„He's good." the man spoke, Bella letting out a sigh while Cecilia anxiously patted Seth's back, relaxing the scarred teenager slightly. Paul had always thought about how the young boy would shift, his family befriended with his. And when he met Cecilia, he knew that the girl would find a friend in the boy — after all he was the one closest to her age and character.
Edwards face however, changed drastically as Bella asked if someone was hurt.
„she's close." he said, Cecilia's hand grasping the fur of her new found friend just tight enough, for him to notice what fear she felt, not enough to actually hurt the boy.
„I can hear her thought." he finished, Seth letting out a growl, Cecilia coming to stand closer to him.
„Seth go." Edward said, Cecilia's lip quivering as the wolf left, her skin suddenly becoming freezing as she tried to snuggle into Paul's hoody, his scent just slightly relaxing her.
Bella quickly went to Edwards side, the boy grasping a hesitating, heavily breathing Cecilia to his chest, her back against his chest as his arm was holding her chest still and even tho he knew how uncomfortable she felt, she couldn't let the girl die, so he had to keep her close.
„She knew we weren't there when she caught my scent, she knew you would be with me." he said next, Cecilia's bottom lip even more quivering now and her body rubbing against Edwards as she was trying to shake of her anxiety and both Bella and Edward felt bad for the girl, her not being included in the supernatural world for so long and so Bella quickly grasped her friends hand.
„She found us." Bella's voice.
„She's not alone." Edwards voice.
Cecilia whole body froze when a man suddenly appeared, body as pale as Edwards was but his eyes were bloodshot, the red looking dark and full of lust and thirst and she now realized how lucky she was to have only met vampires with a soft golden to fill their eyes.
She soon realized that he had been missing in Seattle and Bella's face showed the same realization.
Edward quickly pulled Cecilia behind him, the girl trying to hide behind him just enough so she could still watch the man.
„Victoria is just using you, to distract me." he spoke, voice lowly and Riley just walked closer to the trio.
Edward has just said something about how Victoria would know he'd kill him when her face suddenly appeared on a nearby tree.
The woman was beautiful and Cecilia found herself wondering why such a woman would have such an ugly and disturbing soul.
Edward and Victoria had suddenly switched back and forth, trying to get into the mans head and just when it looked like Edward had the upper hand, the man looked at the trio with dead eyes.
„You're dead." he said and just when he was about to attack, Seth had appeared again, taking hold of the mans neck as he took him behind a rock, Victoria's eyes widening.
Bella and Cecilia had separated slightly from Edward now as Riley's hand was bit off and Victoria was about to run away from the scene.
„You won't get another chance like this again." he spoke darkly, Cecilia letting out a sob as she leaned against a tree, hands covering her ears as her anxiety was eating her alive. She did not hear a word of what Edward and the redhead said, eyes watching as Bella eyed the scene, Edward seemingly being the only one to talk. And in her mind, she repeated the same words over and over again.
Please let me live, please let me live.
I love Paul, I need to tell him before I die.
The girl took her hands from her ears once Isabella gave her a look of horror, just in time to hear Edward talk — something that made Cecilia's skin crawl.
„You want me to feel the pain you felt when I killed James. When I tore him to pieces, when I turned him into ash — when I turned him into nothing." he said, the redhead now shaking with anger, lip quivering just as Cecilia's had.
The things that happened next were a blur, she threw herself at Cecilia and Bella, the first named standing too close as Edward grabbed her, the woman taking a hold onto Cecilia's hand. The sixteen year old looked into the red of her eyes, yelling out in pain and falling to her knees as the woman twisted her wrist, the bone cracking in a half, the sound making Edward cringe. The man quickly took her off there, and the pair turned into a bundle of fighting.
Bella was quick to grab her friend and hug her to her chest, stroking her hair as she cried in pain, trying to stay calm. Seth had heard the scene from where he was fighting with Riley, his wolf connection making Paul howl out loudly, Jacob growling darkly. Paul cried out, and even Leah felt pity for the human girl, she was a nice girl from what she could hear from Seth's thoughts, and she never proceeded to hurt any of her pack brothers.
When Victoria landed on a tree, starring at Bella with hatred, Edward took ahold of Bella's wrist, taking her and Cecilia, who was still clung to Bella's side with him. Cecilia's tears were starting to stick to her red cheeks, the adrenaline in her body blurring out just a tiny bit of the pain.
Edward pulled Bella and Cecilia towards a place they would be safe for now, running to take ahold of the tree Victoria was on and pushing in to the ground.
Seth was distracted for a second, Riley hitting him straight in the jaw with the force of his foot — giving him time to run to his girlfriend and Edward, the pair taking a hold of his face and ready to break his head.
Isabella Swan and Cecilia Quinn were girl with no supernatural strength but they were damn brave as Bella took a sharp rock and before she could cut her Arm with it, Cecilia took it from her, cutting her wrist on the point where it was already broken.
Bella looked at her with a pained expression.
„I can't feel it anyways." she said. It was true — the pain of the broken wrist was painting over the pain of the cut, and the pair of vampires were distracted long enough by it for the young shapeshifter and the vampire to destroy the enemies.
