My little Bella
Chapter 1
In the hundred years that I have lived if you could call it that; I have never thought that I would have something like this happen to me.
It was a normal night, as I watched from my perch on the roof tops in the scum area of Lost Angeles. Long ago had I lived a life of a human when I was not but that was too many years ago. Now I live the life of whom or rather what I am; and if a vampire I must exist as then a vampire I shall be. Though I do not live like my creator Carlisle Cullen who, he and the family he had created that live off animal blood; for I was not as strong as them to resist. But even though I live of humans I cannot and have never taken the life of the innocent but only the lives of murders and scum. I was hunting and with my 'gift' of mind reading, I could hunt down any one that deserves to die. I had fed on two humans tonight and I was hunting for my third. I tasted the area and when something amazing hit me like a thousand pound wrecking ball. I had no control left and I sprinted towards the scent. Passing everything; I leapt up to a small apartment into a bedroom were the sent was the strongest. I looked around the room and found the source of the wonderful scent and I found that it was a little girl no older than five. That stopped me; she was curled up on the floor with her thumb in her mouth. The monster inside me demanded that I take her blood that flowed inside her; calling to me but I ordered the monster to be silent; shoving the beast back into its cage and I stopped breathing.
The girl opened her eyes and looked up to me. Her big deep brown eyes stared back at my blood red ones as she spoke and took her thumb out of her mouth. "Are you an angel?" her voice was shy and quite. I was rather shocked at what she said. How on earth could anyone ever think that I was an angel; I could understand if she asked me if I was a demon but an angel?
"No I'm not," I said calmly.
I could not take a child's life she was innocent. As I turned to leave I felt two arms rap around my left leg. I looked down and saw the girl her eyes pleading with me, "Please don't go. I don't what to be alone when he gets home. Please stay," she begged.
The burn in my throat was burning like the fires of hell but I endured the pain and asked, "Who's he?"
"He's my step father. His name is Phil. He married my mummy before she died in a car accident. His very mean and is angry when he comes home, his always drunk," She said, tears were brimming in her eyes.
That's when I noticed the bruises on her arms and face. Her step father had hurt her and that was why she wanted me to stay she was scared of him. I looked down at her, "all right I will stay with you child. What's your name?"
"Isabella but you can call me Bella. Can I show you somefing?" she said and I nodded she ran over and crawled under the bed and then back out once again with a book in her arms. She ran back to me and sat down patting the spot next to her. I sat down next to her as she opened the book. There was a picture of a young man about in his twenties in a formal American army uniform he had is arm wrapped around a young women who had a baby in her arms they were all smiling happily. Bella pointed to the man, "that's my really daddy and that's my mummy," she said pointing to the young lady.
"Where's your daddy?"
She brushed her small hand over the image of her father, "my mummy said that he went to a better place but he will all ways watch over me." A tear escaped her eye and slide down her face I moved my hand over and wiped her tear away. She looked up at me and wrapped her small delicate arms as far around my waist as she could and she wept. I was saddened. She had done nothing to deserve this life. Both her parents were taken from her and she had been put in the care of a violent, abusive drunk. I did not know why but for some reason I felt comfortable with her in my arms someone that I just met. Soon she fell asleep in my stone arms. Though my throat was ablaze I stayed with her.
Around two in the morning there was a lot of banging from someone who was clearly drunk trying to get in to the little apartment he was stumbling around blind drunk. His thoughts were just as bad, 'where is that little brat... I should teach her a lesson for leaving stuff in the walk ways... I didn't get any fun so I might have some with her I think...' I was not so sure he would do it since he could barely walk strait. As he came in to the room I slowly moved into the shadows of the dark room placing the girl where I found her. He stumbled over to her grabbing her by the hair and flung her small form into the wall. She was immediately woken up and she looked around furiously trying to find something. Then I realised she was trying to find me. The man stalked closer to her his empty beer bottle aimed at her head that's when I attacked I leaped on to his back and pulled him back in to the shadows I had my hand over his mouth so he was silent but he tried to get out of my hold but failed. I snapped his neck and lowered him to the ground and bit into his flesh. His blood was filled with the taste of alcohol and it was not the best blood I have tasted but I will not waste. And with the smell of the little girls sent the blood tasted even filthier. Once all of his blood was gone I dropped the corps and looked up to see the little girl Bella curled up in a tight ball. I wiped my mouth on my sleeve and slowly walked over to her.
"Bella?" she looked up and ran towards me and hugged my legs as tightly as she could. I picked her up to bring her face level with mine, "his not going to hurt you anymore. You're safe now." I knew that that was not completely true she had something far worse than an abusive step father; she now had a vampire that thirsted after her blood hundred times worse than any other humans' blood. I put her down and went to walk over to the window to see if it was all clear.
"You're not going to leave are you?" her voice was small and pleading and a little scared even.
"No, I just have to fix something up, how about you close your eyes for me. Can you do that?" she nodded and closed her eyes I ran over picking up the corps of her dead step father and leaped out of the window and I went to one of the alley ways that would privet and out of the way. I made sure that no one was around in its proximity and then ripped apart the body and put the pieces into the dumpster. I got my cigarette lighter out of my pocket that I use at times like these and lit some cardboard and through it into the dumpster and soon it all court a light.
I ran back to Bella as soon as I could I did not know what I was going to do with her but I could not kill her. It went against everything that I stood for. I cannot and will not kill an innocent and I cannot harm Bella. I wish I knew what to do. I will just have to decided when the time comes.
