New dawn -book 1

18. Swan song

It was the 31st December and Charlie and Sue left yesterday. Today Bella,Edward and Renesmee were leaving and we were leaving tomorrow. The only thing I couldn't face, was telling Seth. Maybe I would pluck up the courage at the New Years party new were going to tonight. As soon as I got up I started packing for tomorrow I just grabbed a spare change of clothes because I had only booked for one night.

I drove down the Cullens house to see if they had any books on the voulturi, before I went. To my luck Bella and Edward weren't there. I looked through hundreds of books but still couldn't find anything. It was hopeless. How was I suppose to go to these vampires if I knew nothing about them. But then it struck me, the only one I could ask without her being bothered about me, Rosalie.

I directed up the stairs and into to Rosalie and Emmett's room, where I found Rosalie. She was brushing her long radiant sun-like hair, she stopped for a moment as she smelt my scent coming towards her. "Hi Rosalie," I muttered.

"What do you want?" She demanded, staring at me. We weren't exactly friends, so this reaction was pretty normal. " I was just wondered whether you knew anything about the voulturi?"

" why?" Rosalie wondered.

" well, erm never mind," I blurted out, she seemed too curious. I sharply turned back around, exited out the room, down the stairs and out the door. I had to get home, in about four hour Seth was taking us to Ashley's New Year's Eve party. Ashley was in my year but also knew Seth out of school; she had invited the whole sophomore year, which I wasn't pleased about because there are some jerks in our year.

I drove back to Charlie's when something came over me, the thought that this could be the last time I could ever see Seth. A cold tear drop trickled down my face. But I had to tell him one way or another, otherwise there would be questions if I just disappeared. I arrived home at four and watched television for an hour before getting dressed. I picked out my favourite navy dress, the one I wore to my parents funeral and my black converse. Waiting for Seth to pick me up, I went through numberous scenarios in my head of how I was going to explain to Seth and how he could react. It was 7:55 and my nerves where on edge, I had to pick the right moment. I ran upstairs checking I had packed everything, when their was a knock on the door. I took a deep breath and stumbled downstairs. I started panicking until I seen Seth, he made everything better, but maybe not everything. "Hello beautiful !" Seth said.

"Thanks, not bad yourself." I joked. He took my hand and lead me to his car. I sat in silence throughout the journey until a thought occurred; what if Ashley invited those bloodsuckers to her party.

Ashley lived in Port Angeles so we arrived at her house at 8:55 but I did suggest that we should of phased because it would of been quicker. However Seth would of had to bring an extra change of clothes.

"Hi," Ashley welcomed us in.

"Hey" I returned the gesture. I looked around the house to find Sophie and Daniel but also the four vampires. Seth at my side smelt their scent and recognised insistently that they could of been the cause of my illness two months ago. Normally calm headed, Seth started to let out his inner wolf. He stormed over to the couple, Georgia and Zac. " I would appreciate if you and your girlfriend would stay away from Amelia or I'll make you" Seth advised.

"It should be your girlfriend who should stay away, because even though she a wolf I might not be able to help myself." Zac whispered. But that was it Seth was ready to phase until I jump in between them and kissed Seth. Suddenly I could feel that Seth loosen up and his hand wrap around my waist. Yet the argument wasn't over, as I felt something as dense as stone slam against me, knocking me onto the tiled kitchen floor. Seth was quickly to my side and helped me up, my head was pounding. I reached up to the side of my forehead to find I was bleeding. Seth examine it and kissed me on the forehead. "It'll heal in a minute." Seth assured. I went to go find Sophie, luckily she wasn't with Daniel. "Hey." She greeted me.

"Hi, I've just come to talk about something with you."

"Shoot"

"Ok, but if I tell you do you promise not to freak out?" I requested. Sophie nodded. "erm, well some bloodsuckers have got Matty, and I'm going to rescue tomorrow." I announced.

"But he died, are you sure this isn't a trick? Have you told Seth?" She said puzzled.

" No I'll tell him later."

" Tell me your not going on your own, you could get killed." She worried.

"Josh is coming with me." I assured.

11:55. In a short amount of time I was going to get dropped of home and then me and Josh were flying to Italy to retrieve Matty from vampire scum. I found Seth before the countdown to slow dance to talk to him. "Hey, can I talk to you?" I asked. He pulled me close. 20 seconds left." Sure. what's about?" he wondered. He could tell I was tense. 15 seconds left. I looked into his eyes ready to speak but the countdown started. 10. 9. 8. He put his warm arms around my back. 7. 6. 5. He pulled me close to him. 4. 3. I put my arms around his neck. 2. He looked into my eyes. I did the same. 1. He kissed me."Happy New Year" he whispered when he finally dropped my lips. "So what did you want to ask me?"

" I don't how to explain this, but I'm going to Italy to go retrieve Matty from the voulturi." I choked.

" The voulturi! I'm not letting you get killed."He pleaded locking his hand onto my wrist." I'm not letting you go."

" you'll just have to trust me" I urged. He let go of my wrist and pulled me close. "Please promise me you'll come back." He begged.

" Always" I whispered.

We kissed what could of been the last kiss between us. After a safe distance from Ashley's house, I phased to go home. A cold tear trickled down my cheek.
