Fresh Start (a Twilight fan-fiction)

CHAPTER 17:

I flail clumsily and the vampire starts to laugh. I freeze, before feeling the grip around me loosen. I slowly turn to face Emmett.
"Hey Evey," I narrow my eyes at one of the liars.
"Bye Emmett." I start to turn around to leave but his strong grip on my arm has me looking up to face him. And this time there's no smile on his face.
"Come home." He demands.
"That's not my home anymore. And you guys aren't my family anymore." I growl and turn away.
"Why are you being such a bitch?" He says, exasperated, and I whirl around, clenching my fists.
"Excuse me?" I say angrily. "You guys are the ones that lied to me about my parents. You guys-" I am cut off as Emmett interrupts.
"We had to, or you would've hated us since day one if you knew. Or worse, been scared of us and told someone. But that gives you no reason whatsoever to be an ass to Carlisle who took you in when you had no one. Not even your aunt wanted you. So guess where you would've ended up if it weren't for Carlisle? Possibly bouncing from foster home to foster home?" I start to object but Emmett continues. "Adopted by some abusive drunk? You are being a spoiled brat even after Carlisle has given you the family you deserved after the accident."
"Deserved?" I scoff at the pretense.
"Yeah, I'm not so sure you even deserve it anymore." Emmett says calmly. And turns to leave.
"Wait." I sigh out loud. "How is he?" I look at Emmett's bitter expression.
"Ask him yourself." He says, before disappearing suddenly. I growl, I hate when they do that. Suddenly my phone rings. I sigh before answering it, holding it to my ear.
"What?" I mumble.
"Hello, Evelyn." The all too familiar voice causes me to freeze. I don't answer, scared to even move, a mixture between hate and fear scrambling my thoughts and clouding my mind. My suddenly sweaty hand starts to shake. "How's Carlisle? Oh wait. You don't live with them anymore, do you? I see you've taken a liking to that Jacob Black. Wouldn't get too cozy with him."
"Threatening me again, are we? That's getting a little old." I say, my voice wobbly.
"No, just informing you that I see Jacob working on his car, back turned. Not in a very defensive position right now, is he?" My chest suddenly stabs with pain.
"Don't." I choke out, leaning against the brick wall behind me for steadiness. "Please."
"Now we're using manners are we?" He mocks.
"How'd you get my number?" I stutter out.
"You should really be asking me how I'm going to kill your little boyfriend. Maybe quickly, he won't feel a thing. Maybe slowly, and I'll drain every ounce of blood out of him." He chuckles lightly and I stumble to my car desperately, unlocking it, shakily sliding in and putting the key in the ignition. "Turn that key and I'll end his life before you could even take your car out of park." He snaps and I freeze.
"But- but I bet you won't do it." I say shakily.
"And why is that?" His soft, teasing tone is back.
"Because if you do, you won't have anything to threaten me with. I'll have nothing else to lose, and your little game will be over."
"Il have the Cullens to slaughter, but they're already on my list. Along with Bella. And eventually you of course." He practically purrs. I let out a small laugh.
"You and your little army of newborns won't make it to town before my family turns you to dust." I say confidently. I hear silence for a second, making my heart pound.
"See you in a couple days, Eve. I'll make sure to leave you for last, so you can feel every bit of pain after you watch your short lived family die."
"I'll be looking forward to watching you burn." I growl out and close the phone to the sound of his soft laughter. I need to warn Carlisle. I know when they're coming.
