"Stop!" Alice spoke up. "I didn't see them..." They all stopped. Jasper was immediately at my side. I hugged him tightly. The family instantly gathered at home plate. "They're traveling so quickly," Alice continued. "You said they left the county," Rosalie reminded her.
"They did, but then they heard us...," Alice said as she looked at Edward. "And changed their minds." "Put your hair down," Jasper asked as I pulled my hair out of my ponytail. "They?" I asked, looking at the woods. "The vampires who killed Waylon?' "Right," Emmett confirmed. "Jasper, cover my scent with yours," I asked.
"They might still catch it," Jasper reminded me. "At least we can try it," I added. "I shouldn't have brought you here," Jasper apologized. "I'm so sorry." "It's not your fault," I shook my head. "What can I do to help?" "Don't say anything," Jasper asked as they all turned to the edge of the forest.
There's a faint rustle as three vampires emerged. As they were near, I could see their bare feet, then the deep burgundy of their eyes. One of the guys had Waylon's jacket. The guy in the middle held up the baseball. "I believe this belongs to you," he spoke up as he tossed the ball to Carlisle, who easily catches it and smiles politely.
"Thank you," Carlisle said. "I'm afraid your hunting activities have caused something of a mess for us," Carlisle said. "Our apologies. We didn't realize the territory had been claimed," Laurent said. "Yes, we maintain a permanent residence," Carlisle replied. The three newcomers exchanged a look of surprise.
"Really? Well, we won't be a problem anymore," Dreads answered. "The humans were tracking us, but we led them east," the redhead spoke up. "You should be safe." "Would you like three more players?" The guy asked. "Of course," Carlisle replied.
"I'm Laurent," The guy introduce. "This is Victoria. And James." "I'm the one with the wicked curve ball," Victoria said. "We'll see about that," Jasper smirked. "Shall we begin?" Esme asked as we all turned to move. Victoria looked at me and smiled. It was a nice smile.
She gesture to my hair and smiled as I smiled back as she turned. That's when the wind blew through Bella's and my hair as James turned to us. Jasper snarled at him. "You brought snacks," He asked as I pulled Bella behind me. Jasper pushed me behind him.
