Heading off

Edward ran through the forest quickly without looking back, he didn't need to look back.

He knew he was being chased, and with every step, he took the fear he felt increased and consumed him.

He blamed the Volturi, he blamed Damon, anyone but himself.

But it didn't matter who he blamed now, it was too late, he had gad an enemy out of someone he shouldn't have and finally, the price was going to catch up with him.

WHOOSH!!

WHOOSH!!

Edward ran with all his might, and speed which currently wasn't that much seeing as he was still injured.

The speed he was going wasn't fast enough to escape Damon or anyone in his pack, Edward knew this but he refused to give in.

Once he accepted the fact that he couldn't escape there would be no hope left for him to cling on to, the fact of the matter was Edward knew Damon wanted to kill him long ago, but there was always something or someone to beg for him.

But this time, he had burned all bridges, leaving no one to care if he lived or died.

So he ran for his life, ignoring the end he knew was coming.

(Damon)

Damon rushed through the forest following Edward's scent.

It wasn't long till he saw Edward trying his best to run away, all his focus in front of him.

Seeing this Damon quickly approaches and in one fluid motion.

BAM!!!!

BOOM!!!

AHHHHHHH!!!

One kick, Damon put a lot of his strength into the kick and with no surprise managed to completely separate his feet from his body by the knee.

Edward's feet were flung forward and collided with a tree, while Edward fell to the ground, clearly in pain if his scream was anything to go by.

Damon stood over the injured Edward and shook his head.

Edward rolled onto his back and looked at Damon, his eyes contained only hatred and fear, he didn't speak as he looked at Damon, he didn't cry out in pain anymore.

His hatred blocked out everything.

Damon on the other hand, looked at Edward and no emotion could be seen on his face or in his eyes, it was as if he was looking at nothing.

Damon didn't care about Edward, to him he was already dead if anything this was happening far later than it should have.

Damon bent down and grabbed Edward's neck and squeezed, he said nothing throughout the whole process Edward of course fought back slashing and hitting Damon with his only hand.

BAM!!

Edward's head and body dropped to the ground, looking at the body, Damon took a lighter from his pocket and burned the body, and left, there wasn't a need for torture or saying anything.

Damon just did what he should have done from the start and left, he felt nothing towards Edward seeing as he Considered him dead already there wasn't even a need to torture him.

Damon returned to his home, quickly only to meet the other cleaning up the damage done and burning the bodies of the vampires.

"Edward?" Rosalie asked as she spotted his return.

" Dead as he should be." responded Damon.

" That's good."

" Mhm, I'll be leaving with Max soon, we need to get rid of the remaining Volturi members, the others will stay here to protect you." says Damon.

" What about the original vampire?" asked Rosalie.

" One problem at a time love, we will clean up the Volturi first then he will be dealt with, he won't live to the day our child is born." says Damon.

Damon walked up to Rosalie and hugged her.

" I'll be back soon, and I'll have a great surprise for you." says Damon

"Fine, but it better be good."

Hearing this response Damon smiled and released Rosalie from his embrace.

"IT won't just be good, It will become something we will never forget." says Damon as he walks into the back of the house with Rosalie following him.

Arriving at the back of the house Damon meets the others here still, the bodies had been cleaned up and burnt if the large burn spot in the yard was anything to go by, but Damon didn't care about any of this.

"Max, we have something to do we're leaving now, and the rest of you will stay here to protect Rosalie." says Damon.

"Fine, but these guys still own me when we return." said Max.

"Alright, we won't go back on the bet." the others said but Max didn't believe them at all as he walked over to Damon.

"Be careful, both of you." says Rosalie.

"We will." they say in unison.

From Start to finish Damon didn't even look at the Cullen who had come for protection, be he could still feel their eyes on him, it was clear they wanted to ask something, and you didn't need to be a genius to figure out what they wanted to ask.

"He's dead." Damon said as he and Max sped away.

When he spoke he didn't look at anyone, and he didn't mention a name but everyone present understood who Damon was speaking about.

HIs pack wasn't surprised and, they didn't care, the Cullen was a mixed and mess, it was a combination of trying not to care and clearly sad.

Finally, Carlise sighed, there was nothing he could do, and he was trying his best to feel nothing but it wasn't that simple after caring about someone for so many years even with everything that had happened.

'Saying something and really doing it are two very different things, even though we had agreed to not care about his life or death, that really was just words.' thinks Carlisle.

"Maybe that's for the best, living with how he had become wasn't good, maybe this will give him peace." says Carlisle.

"I think so as well, this should be for the best." says Esme.

Away from the house Damon and Max were moving quickly, towards the Volturi base.

"So what's the surprise you have for Rosalie?" asked Max.
