ISABELLA

The night I visited Vincent I felt sick something was fluttering around my stomach was it guilt or confusion when I talked to him it felt like he understood me, that I couldn’t hide anything from him. When I slept I dreamed of him and me running through the grass in the back fields he was holding my hand and told me he loved me. We came to a stop and fell over landing in a pile of flowers. We started laughing until he turned over on to his side he was kissing me holding me close to him. I woke up and felt like my head was just bulldozed I hadn’t had a dream like that since the night before the raid it felt so real like a vision. No it was probably just some sick thought in the back off my head there is no way that I like a Vampire it’s probably just a dream a very scary nightmare.  

VINCENT

The next day was my trial I spent the day in the shed until two strong wolves came and collected me their male brute strength almost broke the chains when they pick me up. These guys were strong. The one with the Brown hair broke the chair sliding it from the chains while the man with bright red hair held me in the air. The person holding me looked Emo and probably didn’t have a tuff time at crushing people.  Shays territory was from here to Montana he owned a lot of this country and would have heaps of Wolves at his disposal his pack was the strongest here at just a click of his fingers but I not afraid.

Isabella was at the trial she was at the front of the room next to Shay she was wearing my jacket but it smelt more like her than me now. She had sorrow in her heart I could smell it.  They placed me on a chair and shackled me to the ground.  “Is this really necessary?” I received a growl by the one who had kicked me all the way here I think he was called Owen. “Okay” I said as nervously as possible. I should get an Oscar for my acting.

“Rise Vincent unclaimed Vampire” I stood up as best as I could before the shackles would pull me down.  Shay continued with the trial ceremony. “Vincent you stand here on the crimes of breaking the truce between Vampires and Werewolves. What do you plead?” “Not guilty” I announced. There were growls from every one. “You may plead your case” Shay said. “I do not wish to bring war, hate death I just want sanctuary. I was born one and ever since then I been running away from the Vampires I do not want to be one and that why I killed them when they attacked Isabella I would not let them hurt her like they hurt me it’s immoral, inhumane and I know you have humanity even if you are a wolf you still feel emotions you still feel regret but a vampire they have nothing just emptiness and I won’t let that happen to me or anyone else. I just desire safety and for those around me and if I can’t have sanctuary I asked that I can leave for your safety I do not wish to bring anyone harm” they started to lose their scowls and growls I could smell their inner wolfs returning to their shells. If they could smell my lies they didn’t show it.  “Vincent give us a moment to discuss you may sit”. Shay let me sit down the shackles were starting to weigh me down considering they could hold down a 500 pound wolf.  They weren’t talking so I assumed they were talking telepathically like I could with do that with other Vampires but I couldn’t talk to wolves. They talked for half an hour I could sense the rage in the air coming from everyone accept for Isabella she didn’t hate me she felt only sorrow for what they were talking about by the looks of it my punishment does not look good.  I concentrated on Isabella and the air around her she felt happy contempt she gave me a smile and then Shay started to talk “Vincent” I returned my gaze to Shay “Vincent you have been granted sanctuary on a few conditions if you agree you can stay if you don’t you have to leave. Condition number one:  You will be escorted everywhere you go. Two: you will listen to the pack you. Three: you will not be able to leave this area if the Vampires are still looking for you. Do you agree for these terms?” if I agree I stay and get close to Isabella and take her and if I don’t I have to go back as a failure I rather pretend submit to a pack of mutts than go back to Boaz empty handed.  “I Agree” they all howled in agreement to the terms and Shay welcome me.
