“The night has been long,
The wound has been deep,”

I sat there in the carriage, as I heard the horseman whipping the horse, but I knew today even the horse was scared. I the fearless   Princess Renessme Carlie Cullen was myself scared as the carriage made its way through the dark thorny forest, the branches of the tree looked like hovering hands of some unknown witch ready to clench it prey. The grass beneath us was in the color of dark red, which meant even this land was covered with the blood of several innocents, I still could not believe that this was the same kingdom of “Forks” which was so dear to me, every summer me and Alex would come to spend our vacation with King Harries, he was a werewolves and was deeply in love with Alex almost treating him like his own son then why did Alex do this to him? According to dad Alex murdered King Harris before turning the kingdom into graves for its citizen. I never ever imagined that my best friend, my love, my Alex would turn so cold. Why did he ever join the Volturi? A lone tear escaped my eyes as it trickled down my cheek, a pain in my heart for the person whom I just had hatred and nothing else. I hated Alex for being the person he was now, he was the reason my kingdom my sweet homeland “Aldetric” had been constantly attacked and I had to part ways with my parents and go to “Dalmania” till the war is over. He was the reason that my people were dying. He was the reason for…me to be so unsure about every meeting with my parents again. I wanted to fight him and not run away like a coward but my people and my parents wanted the last heir of the kingdom safe, if I died then the Volturi will take over our kingdom too. So it was decided that I was to be send to Dalmania, but in order to reach their we needed to cross Forks which was under the Volturi now, though abandoned but yet even if they get the slightest hint of me being here they would tear me into pieces and burn me…even Alex. Suddenly the carriage came to a halt, my heart skipped beats as I heard swords clashing and then a shrill scream, after that everything was quite there was a silence. I was pale, I felt myself shivering from fear, as I heard some footsteps, I gripped my sword tighter, as I tip toed and walked down the carriage but what I saw was an empty grassland, with the horseman dead body lying on the grass under a pool of blood, poor guy being a human he was too weak to save himself. I looked around and inspected each area carefully, I was glad that the attackers have left, I was walking back to my carriage when I suddenly felt a strong icy grip on my waist and the next moment I was slammed against the carriage door with my hands pinned down. All I could see was the blood red eyes, it was Alex, I did not give him even a minute and began to struggle but I was too weak, too weak to fight him physically. I was a half vampire and the only vampire quality I had was an eternity life. But maybe today even that ability was going to be lost. I looked at him with my eyes filled with anger as he had the same old smirk on his face though it looked more evil now. Before I could do anything he said in a calm and composed manner

“Quit struggling Renessme, you know I won’t hurt you”

“I know Alex will never hurt me but I am not sure about the loyal servant of Volturi who is standing in front of me”

I felt the grip on my hand grow stronger, as I screamed in pain, but my pain seems to delight him, he smiled bringing his cold lips to my lips, I turned my face away as I felt his cold wet kisses all over my cheek. But suddenly he stopped, he drew his face away and looked at me, my eyes were all teary as he loosened his grip on me and said in a voice broken with sorrow

“Renessme please do not do this…please do not cry…I can never see you cry…please stop…fine I am leaving you please just stop”

He completely withdrew himself from me and was standing inches away from me as he was inches away from me now, I so wanted to tell him something to hurt him but all that came from my mouth were weak sobs, as finally I managed to collect myself and said in a harsh voice

“You want to kill me Right? So come on pick your sword and ripe me into pieces”

“You know I can never do that to you, I love you Renessme”

“But I don’t and I am going to kill you”

I got my hand up with my sword pointed towards him, but I saw him standing in his place completely immobile, he just had his eyes fixed on me, the sword was just a few inches away in a swift moment I could kill him, I could end it, I could save my family, I could save my kingdom, I could save myself, but I was weak and this time I was mentally weak I felt my sword dropped down on the grass as my vision became blur with my tears. He came and hugged me I did not object but I did not hug him back, I just felt I needed him, I just wanted to be like this, just for some time, just for a few moment more… just like the old times. Suddenly he bought his lips closed to my ears and whispered softly, his breath almost caressing my ear

“I will be back Renessme, I will be back to wipe away all the pain from your soul”

I looked up but found myself completely isolated in the grassland again well just with the dead body, strange this dead body was my horseman just a few minutes before. Suddenly I felt a very strong howl behind me, I looked back and froze, and I had never seen such a fierce full creature before it was huge; its height was even more than my horse. This was the hugest wolf I ever saw in my entire 16 years of life. The wolf closest to me, the reddish brown one, turned its head slightly at the sound of my gasp. The wolf's eyes were dark, nearly black. It gazed at me for a fraction of second. As it stared at me, I suddenly thought of Jacob...
