Lola Swan: Trough her eyes (1)

32 the end part 2

They arrive at the airport. Jonah tries to calm her down before she enters the building. He takes her in his arms: 'Be safe.' He almost let go of her. He still has one arm around her.

She gives him a soft kiss: 'I will.'

His face lights up with a small smile: 'Now go before you miss your plane.'

Two flights, the first goes by fast. It does not take long before Lola is hurrying to her next one. She is glad Edward managed the tickets. She is on the same plane as Carlisle, Emmett and Edward. They do not speak until they are seated. Lola has a seat next to Edward. She lays a hand on his arm: 'We will be there on time.'

He looks at her: 'We will!' he says. He does not know if he believes it or he simply says it. He tells Lola about the vision Alice had. The scene from the dance studio.

She did not want to think about what could happen if they found her first. She stops herself from thinking about it. Jasper and Alice would protect her.

The plane lands. Lola follows them to the meeting point as fast as possible without being suspicious. She doesn't know where they're going, and the Cullens move quickly. Lola arrives last: 'Where is she?'

'She isn't here.' Emmett says.

'She cannot be far. She just left....' Alice starts.

'She used the bathroom trick?' Lola says and starts to make her way out.

'Yes.' Alice admits. Jasper, who walks beside her, looks at Lola: 'How do you know?'

'She did that when we were younger.' Lola explains.

They steal a car. Lola doesn't hesitate and takes place in the backseat. She admits it's a fast car. She tells them how to drive. Alice helps them avoid traffic.

On arrival, Edward runs towards the building. Lola exits the car and runs inside the building, surprising them with her speed.

Edward had just thrown James across the room. James stands up again. Lola goes to stand next to him. When James comes their way. She focuses her powers on him like she did on the field. This time it isn't a warning. The pain is visible in his eyes, and he stops walking. He falls to the ground. She can see that he is holding down a scream.

Emmett and Jasper attack him, and Lola lets go of her focus. They didn't need help.

She walks towards her sister. Seeing Bella in pain makes her realize she must be there for her sister.

'My hand hurts.' Bella whispers.

'I know Carlisle will help you.' Edward calms her.

'My hand burns. It is on fire.' Bella tries to catch their attention.

'He has bitten her, Carlisle.' Edward says.

'You can let her change into one of us or try to get the venom out.' Carlisle says.

'No, I can't do it.' Edwards says.

'You may have to, or she'll be one of us.' Carlisle explains.

'But what if I can't stop.' Edward says desperately.

'There is another way!' Lola says: 'Give her arm to me. I can stop the transition.' They both look at her, not moving. 'Edward, do you want her to become a vampire.' She says.

He moves out of the way: 'Do it.'

She holds one of her own hands in front of the bite and one behind. She focuses, and a light comes from her hands. She keeps thinking about what she wants to achieve. She needs to give it all she has. The last thing Lola sees before passing out is a dark purple cloud rising from the bite. She could only hope it worked.
