The Danger Within Me by Marina A. Chadd (ereader for android TXT) 📖

I have decided to go to the Vultori and the Cullen’s were not very happy about it. Did I know they were going to kill me? Yes. Am I going to kill them first? Yes. Will I probably die in the process.... probably.
I have a series of plans in case different things happen, and a couple of them are risky. I just don't have any more options, I either die and try to save the Cullen’s or watch them all get slaughtered. Though there is a chance that they might just make me suffer and not let me feed. I'm hoping on that.
Knock, knock. “Who is it? I'm not changing my mind.” I told whoever it was through the door.
“I'm not asking you too...” Edward spoke from the now open doorway. “I was hoping you could spare a minute.”
“Well, I can but not long I have a lot of planning to and I'm not taking a plane there, I'm swimming.” I said with disgust. I hated getting my clothes wet.
“Well, here is a good luck charm. It use to belong to my mother.” Edward walked around me and lifted my hair to put a red ruby heart necklace around my neck.
I lifted my hand to the silk ribbon that held the ruby in place. “Thank you.” In all truth I had no idea what to say.... I felt the first whisper of something I've never felt before. I turned around to face him, “You didn't have to do that you know.”
“Oh, I know. I wanted too.” Edward spoke quietly. “It's to wish you good luck. I hope that they will let you live, and I know that's slim.”
“I have an idea, don't worry. I don't want any of you to worry.” I talked lightly. “I have to start leaving now, it's a long way there.”
We headed toward the front door when I heard a howl from outside. I ran off the porch and into the woods and thought to Edward Thank you for everything, I hope to be back. If not I'm sorry....
I hit the treaty line and met Sam in human form. “I will be leaving now, I hope to live to see the rest of my life, and to save you and the Cullen’s. I'll should be back if my plan goes accordingly.”
“They will kill you-” Sam started to speak but I was already leaving.
“Good bye my friend, keep the peace as a debt to me.” I lunged into the forest and I fell into my imagination. I remembered my past, me meeting the Vultori and how they tried to kill me. How Felix has tried to kill me before I killed him. How Felix and the Vultori have taken all I've ever known from my grasps.
I lifted my hand to the ruby necklace that Edward had given me. I have more to live for now, I can't risk myself like I use too.
I hit the shore line of the ocean, and looked down. Below me was tons of water crashing into the earth like it was nothing. I held my breath and dived head-first into the crashing waves.

And the journey to end my life began.

* * *

I popped my head up above the surface of the water. Peering into the darkness I look for boats, anything that can spot me coming out of the water. All clear. I finally hit the shore and run into the darkness to hide. Thank god that there was a forest near by.
I went into the woods and striped so I could change out of my wet clothes, and so I can be representable to the “Kings”. I dressed in all black so it would be hard to spot me if you were a mere human like most.
Sneaking into the darkened city so the guards would recognize me if I would have to make a dangerous escape. I put down my black hood so I wouldn't look suspicious to ones around me. I walked slowly though the streets and pulled out my phone to call a friend of mine (none of my stuff in my backpack are wet because it's water-proof).
The phone only rang once before it was picked up, “Hello?” A musical voice spoke.
“Hey Edward this is Willow.” I whispered.
“Are you there?” He asked slowly.
“I just got here like not even five minutes ago. I'm not even to their building yet... Edward?” I asked him.
“What?” He spoke almost silent.
“I'm scared, I really don't want to die because I've only just found a place where I belong.” I spoke with tears in my eyes.
He was silent for a moment, “Then come back.”
I heard a sound beside me in the alley and I knew that I couldn't. “I can't, they found me a little too early.” I hung up the phone.
I turned into the alleyway and looked at two clocked figures. They didn't say anything they just turned around. I knew what it meant, I was to come without question.

So I followed them to the place where I knew I would die.

I was walking through dark tunnels that go underneath the their territory. I was trapped and they knew it, I couldn't escape.
We finally got into an elevator and entered a huge waiting room. From there we walked through gigantic double doors into the room where Aro and his brothers waited.
As I walked into the room it went silent and Aro stood up. I looked up with dignity, I was not a pray that was caught as of yet.
“Welcome Willow, how nice it is to see you again.” Aro spoke cheerfully but I saw the fear in his amber eyes.
“I am not welcomed and you know it. You are a fool to think that you can kill me.” I spoke with a chill in my voice that even seemed to make him shiver.
“You can read me so easy young one. I really do not want to kill you for you are very strong. I want you to join us, you can replace my dear loved ones that you have taken from me.” Aro spoke with a demanding voice.
“You are more a fool to think that I will kill harmless humans and vampire on your whim Aro. I will not join you.” I felt Chelsea try and get into my head but she automatically was knocked out from the force I now had. “I am stronger Aro, I can kill you and all you know so easily.”
He walked over to me, “I am very curious how you did that. May
I look?” He spoke cautiously.
I lifted my hand and let the memories I had flicker through him. The whole time I stared into his eyes, not letting my defensive behavior drop just because he was reading me.
After an eternity he let go. He slowly looked into my eyes and I knew that I wasn't going to die but I was going to be put into an indestructible cage, and he was going to starve me until I would either die or join him.
“Take her to the chamber.” He spoke quietly.
I didn't fight, I let Demitri and his new “buddy” take me away. I was thrown into a cage that I knew I couldn't break.
So I sat there for three weeks without any food. I just sat there and stared at a crack in the wall until it became to boring for me. Every day that passed I felt my eyes change and turn darker from starvation. I would not turn but when Aro comes I will kill him. I will kill him without mercy. They do not know how strong I am when I really want to survive.
Four weeks after my plan was set I heard the door down the hall open. When Aro showed I knew what he saw. A vampire that is as pale as a cloud, has sunken cheeks, pale lips, and eyes as dark as hell itself.
“You don't looks so well Willow.” I didn't speak, I only glared at him. “You know we have tried to feed you, but you wont eat anything we bring you.” I still glared. He turned to talk to the guards with him. “I'm going in.” A guard started to speak but he continued, “she can't hurt me, she is too weak.”
He had no idea what he was getting into. He knelt down to my level and spoke again. “You will die soon if you do not eat my darling.”
I stared again.
“Please eat.” A guard walked in with a unconscious girl in his arms and laid her next to me. “Do it.”He told me.
I bent down but he's such a fool, I snapped up and pinned him into a wall nearby. His guard all but flew in but were killed by the strength of my power instantly. “As I said before, you are a fool Aro.” I snapped at him when he tried to move. He was truly scared.
I lightly pulled my nail across his neck and watched his blood run down his neck. When that happened he flung me across the room into a wall. We circled each other at a very slow speed. I still glared and when I reached the door I flew out of it and locked him in. “You are such a fool.” He looked into the dark hell of my eyes and he saw no more.

I walked through their building killing any and all of his people that I saw. I stopped counting after the tenth. When I saw the double doors I was where I wanted to be.
I flew open the double doors and walked into a very scared Caius and Marcus. I have never seen the two of them standing so close.
Marcus spoke first, “Where is Aro?”
“I dealt with him and all that were in my way,” I spoke with a deep chill in my voice. “and your in my way.” I gave them my deadly grin and they were beat, they just didn't know it yet...
Caius spoke with a trembling voice, “Who have you killed?”
“Hmm, I know Chelsea is dead, along with Demitri. I lost track after that. Though I am about
