The Alpha's saved Queen

Frantically I try to get a grip on the slippery rocks, feeling the weight of my dress trying to drag me back under those black waves to swallow me forever. The water is freezing. It is November and snowing. I feel so weak my body feels numb from the cold and the shock of what I just saw, if I live a thousand years I will never forget the screams and the horror of what I witnessed. I can hear their shouts, they are getting closer. Gathering my last bit of energy I make one last grab at the rocks and finally I feel a ledge, I drag myself up scraping my skin and feeling warm blood trickle down my legs. My foot slips and I twist my ankle `painfully, I can't give up now I have to keep going, I have to be strong, I have to be brave, I have to fight to survive. I will not give up. ***FLASHBACK*** The boat is gently swaying and the music is still softly playing but it does nothing to drown out the screams that are deafening me. "Run Emille, you have to go now!" My mother shouts at me, her eyes pleading with me to listen. I don't know what to do, I want to help my family but I am useless, I am weak, I have no powers that can help me fight against these monsters. Lost in my thoughts of what to do I am suddenly grabbed from behind, I try to fight but the arms holding me are too strong "Don't look back Emmy, keep going and trust no one." I stop struggling as I realise it is my brother Tobias, he is pulling me towards the side of the boat. I hear my mother scream and see her fall to the floor, the monster, a vampire still biting and clawing at her poor body, her beautiful eyes stuck forever with a look of shock and pain. I begin to fight against Tobias, trying to get back to my mother to hold her one last time and then I feel the ice cold water hit me. I am sinking down and down. ***End of flashback*** I drag myself over the top of the cliff and look back, the boat is on fire there are huge flames engulfing it. I can hear voices faintly, I stumble away shivering, heading towards the dark forest ahead of me. I am moving as fast as I can, the sharp branches of the trees cutting my face and body. After moving blindly forward for what seems like hours I have to stop I can't go any further, every breath feels like my lungs are going to explode. My whole body aches, I am so tired. I sink down to the ground leaning back against a tree, great heaving sobs rack my body. My family are all dead. I don't know what to do, I have never felt so scared and alone in my life. I take deep breaths trying to calm myself and bite my hand to try and stop the sound of my crying. The pain brings me back to reality I can't lose myself in grief and fear, I must keep going and get further away from these monsters. Getting back up on shaky legs and continuing to move deeper into the forest. I hear a wolf howling in the distance, for some reason, instead of feeling scared of the howling wolf I turn and head towards the sound knowing this is the way I should be heading. Just a little further and then I will be safe, I have no idea why these thoughts are entering my head or why I believe them but I know with a certainty they are true. The forest is so dark, I am moving faster then before, trying to ignore the pain in my body, my foot catches on something and I am tumbling down a hill, down and down and then darkness.
