Her Final Days

Chapter 11

Everyone had gathered in the Cullen house, particularly in the dining room. Once again, another vampire had been discovered in the woods behind the Cullen house just as the Cullens and the Wolves were making plans for the next meeting.

Laurent was staring at everyone; even after all these years of being a huge pile of ashes, he was still angry at the Wolves for stopping him from killing Bella.

"I thought we had gotten rid of you," said Jacob. "But how and why you decided to return is beyond me."

"It was the witch, wasn't it?" Bree asked.

"Who is this witch that is bringing dead vampires back to life?" cried Sam. "What is she trying to prove, anyway?"

"Either she has a vendetta against us or she's just using vampires as some sort of science experiment," said Leah. "I'm not sure what it is."

Laurent snapped, "Somebody better tell me why I am here!"

"Aren't you that leech who tried to kill Bella?" Seth cried out.

"And I would have done it if it weren't for you stupid Wolves!" Laurent yelled. "You should have let me eat Bella and be done with it!"

"As much as I hated her, I have to disagree with you," Leah laughed. "Only an idiot would dare mess with her and live. As your little friends Irina and Vicky discovered too late..."

"Where is Irina?" Laurent was furious now. Everyone stared at each other, wondering whether or not to tell him the truth about what had happened to Irina Denali.

Jill Durham was sitting in the waiting room; her grandmother had stepped out for a girls night out and had yet to return. But before long, baby Emmett had escaped from his mother and wandered around the place.

Carter and Ezra had escaped from the meeting at their grandparents' house and somehow ended up at the nursing home. Ezra said to him, "It was like that Sam Uley was looking at me, saying, "I want you to come join me." How freaky is that?"

"Quite freaky indeed," said Carter. "I mean, did you see the size of those wolves? They are so freaking huge! Like even bigger than the biggest horse!"

"Oh I hope you two aren't spying on nice old ladies," Elena snapped as she stared at her brother and cousin.

"We're not the sort of guys who do that," Ezra protested.

"And besides, the place is practically empty," Carter chimed in. "Who would be here on a Friday night?"

Just then, they all saw a very small baby staring at them. "Oh crap!" Ezra frowned. "We're in so much trouble!"

"He's just a baby," Elena said. "How much trouble can he be?"

A girl called the baby's name and he ran towards her. Carter said, "Is it just me, or did she call him by our father's name?"

"I think so," said Elena, "and she has some explaining to do."

"There you are, Emmett," Jill said as she picked up the baby. Rosalie said, "Now why on earth would you wander off?"

"Vampire!" Little Emmett laughed.

"What did he just say?" Rosalie gasped.

"I think he means us," a young man's voice broke through the silence. Both women turned and gasped as they saw not one, but three vampires staring at them...
