Vampire Hunter (A Twilight Story) - Season 2 - Episode 3

Irina’s eyes fill with guilt and betrayal as she answers his question truthfully, knowing she cannot get away with a lie. “I was.” She mumbles.

“Because…” he pushes, impatience leaking in his voice but also a sense of triumph. His hand disappears into one of the pockets of his cloak and I try to think of what he put in there. I glance at Felix and I can almost see a nervous recognition as he to eyes Caius’ pocket.

I whisper to him, barely audible so only he will hear. “What is in there?” I ask as I can feel a pit in my stomach grow.

He responds just as quietly. “Nothing good.” His grip around my waist tightens and I feel like he’s making sure I’m secure in my spot. I sense he can’t tell me more without causing suspicion so I turn my attention back to the duo but his eyes are fixed on Caius’ poket now. Irina seems to shrink in size before she answers.

“Because the werewolves killed my friend and the Cullen’s wouldn’t stand aside and let me avenge him.” She says quietly, creating a curtain with her hair to block her face from their gaze. I glance at the Cullen’s and while many remain emotionless as they watch Irina Carlisle looks at her in pity.
“Shape shifters.” Aro corrects her in an almost bored tone. His face is emotionless though I can tell he is just as vigilant as the rest of us, assessing every breath taken.
“So the Cullen’s sided with the shape shifters” Caius says this last part in a sneer, clearly not caring for Aro’s insistence of using politically correct terms. “against our own kind, a friend.” He says in an arrogant tone. His eyes drift across the group in front of us. He is desperate to pin something, anything, upon them so he can execute his sick idea of justice.

I can see Irina stiffen and her eyes narrow in suspicion and then comprehension. She knows she’s being used however she still answers truthfully, but grudgingly. “That’s how I saw it.” He seems to wait for her to say more but she just gazes evening at him, indicating she will not continue to play along.
His determination unfazed he continues. “If you would like to make a formal complaint against the shape shifters and the Cullen’s now would be the time.” His mouth rises ever so slightly into a disturbing smile that you just want to smack off. I swear if she says yes I’ll hurt her.

“This has nothing to do with the “law” and it has most certainly not been breached.” I say, louder this time. He was relentless, disgusting and willing to kill innocent people just for his own advancement and amusement.

“Silence young one and let her speak.” Aro says calmly but his voice is full of authority. I shut my mouth and return my gaze to Irina, praying she does the right thing, for once.
Irina takes a deep breath before straightening out her formerly hunched body and lifting her chin in defiance. “No, I have no complaint against the wolves or the Cullen’s.” Her voice is loud and clear as everyone stares at her. Caius’ smile, however, does not waver sending chills down my spine. He seems glad at her response. She continues to speak, trying to repent for her sins, and her voice is much stronger. “You came to destroy an immortal child but no immortal exists. It was my mistake and I take full responsibility but the Cullen’s are innocent.” Her eyes go straight to her sisters and I see them return her gaze with equal intensity. “I’m so sorry.” Irina then turns to the witnesses her eyes earnest and honest. “There was no crime. There’s no valid reason for you to continue here.” She all but begs them.

As I watch her trying to attain her own salvation Caius lifts his hand into the air, an object in his hand, and Felix tenses beside me. My cloak ruffles lightly around me as several members run past me with blinding speed at the foreign signal, engulfing her small frame in grey. Earsplitting sounds of metal and stone being ripped apart echoes throughout the field as I look on in horror, frozen in place and my mouth open. Like a candle I can feel her life snuffed out and I could no longer feel her presence. The subtraction of her aura, while small in comparison to the many around us, leaves a gapping hole. This was never something I had gotten used to, feeling someone die is nothing short of horrible.
