Chapter 1 –NO!
Sarah Collins ran threw the forest. Her wild eyes transfixed on her destination. She could feel them behind her. They were following her. She had to get away; she had to give her most prized possetion to her neighbors. She raced threw the forest, clutching the basket in her hand as she ran. Her light blue cloak fluttered lightly behind her. Her marble skin glowed in the moonlight. She could feel the powerful sensation of thirst wash over her. She hadn't fed in a while. This meant she wouldn't be able to wait for the humans because she might kill them if she smelled them. As she reached a small house surrounded by trees, she set down the basket.
Sarah turned and fled the doorstep after she'd rung the doorbell. She was out of site in little time.
She twisted and turned as she again ran from the forest. She was searching… searching for the right forest.
She smiled as she saw a lamppost. She was home, and her daughter was safe… for now.
Bella
Bella Swann smiled as she and Edward drove towards a wood near her home. Edward was going to introduce her to the queen of all vampires. A girl of such beauty, even Edward and Rosalie had to look away from her. He helped her out of the car, and took her warm hand in his cold one.
Edward hoisted her onto his back and started to run. As he let her slide off, she found they were standing in a garden outside a large castle.
"Come on Bella," Edward whispered. His voice made her feel very dizzy, but she took his arm and they started to walk together.
She followed the vampire as he pulled her. He brought her up to the large doors. He pushed them open and walked in. He led her down a large hallway. It was bright and cheery as Edward pulled her, yet, there was a feeling of dread in her stomach.
"Edward, I feel… fear," she told him. She didn't know how to describe it any other way. She could feel Edward tense.
Bella's POV
"Well… she does drink… human blood," he stated calmly. I immediately understood why he hadn't mentioned that before. If she wanted to drink my blood, he'd let her. Jasper had told me about her. A vampire could never go against their queen's word, because then she would assonate all they were close to, and she saved them for last. She was a horrid, cruel vampire when her people deceived her. Finally Edward stopped in front of a door. It was large, made of pure gold. I watched as Edward let go of my hand. He walked up to it and pushed it open.
"Come in Edward." I could hear her voice. It was pure and beautiful. Her voice flowed like water; it made me feel dizzy, even more so then Edward's.
"Ahh, you brought Bella." My eyes darted around the room. Nobody was there but Edward and me. So where was this voice coming from?
"Where is she?" I whispered as I stepped closer to Edward.
"I'm right here." I jumped and whipped around. Sitting on a gold throne was a beautiful girl, dressed in black. I blinked. She was beautiful; her hair was black and fell down her back, her eyes were of the purest blue, her skin practically glowed in the bright room, and she wasn't even in the sun. She made Rosalie, Edward, and the rest of the Cullens look… ugly. A silver tiara lay on the young vampire's head.
She rose from her seat. Edward immediately fell to his knees, and bowed his head. I followed his example and got onto my knees.
"Rise." I looked up at her and rose, as did Edward.
"I am Queen Sarah, the Beautiful," she said as she walked over to me. I said nothing, to enhanced by her beautiful eyes. "Bella, come, let us be more acquainted." Queen Sarah beckoned me to follow her. I did so, blindly. She led me into a beautiful sitting room.
After a while of me talking about myself, I asked her about her life before she was a vampire. She smiled at my question.
"Well," she started, setting her tea cup on the little plate in her hand, "I am the daughter of a High King. High King Peter, the Magnificent is his name. I was the Princess of Narnia, and I couldn't have been happier. I was 16 when my mother turned ill. Narnia needed a new High Queen and not one of my aunts wanted it. So we did what Telmar did once. They crowned me High Queen, no I didn't have to marry my father. That was when I received the title of Queen Sarah the Beautiful. I was considered the most beautiful woman in our entire world. After a year, a few days after my seventeenth birthday, I met a man. He was so beautiful I couldn't stop looking at him. I was so dizzy I didn't understand what I was doing. When he leaned in… I wanted him to kiss me so much I leaned in too, but instead he sunk his teeth into the flesh of my shoulder. I was frightened, and in pain for weeks. I killed and killed and killed, I found out later that that was common in newborns. The thing is… I found a path, as a newborn vampire, that led me to another world, your world. I slaughtered many people there in France. Your world had no vampires until I infected a few humans. That's how vampires were created in your world. After a while I got a hold of what was going on, and became Queen of all vampires because people, both vampires and humans knew how vicious I could be. I was the only ones that could control every vampire. After I returned to my father and family, I told them. Only my father, and youngest aunt stayed by my side. My Aunt Susan and Uncle Edmund were disgusted with what I had become and packed up and went to Calmor, the land of the werewolves. I was devastated, but my father built me this castle, Narthiana (Narth-long e-Anna), I named it. Later, I met a human, in your world. Together he and I had a daughter. His family found out though, and demanded he return. I was heart broken. I knew they were going to try and take my daughter away from me, so I gave her up. I'd named her Vanity Collins. I left her on a doorstep. She would be better off with humans then vampires or werewolves, but it looks like she got herself thrown into this world anyway." I looked at Queen Sarah in confusion. Was the Princess here?
"My precious Vanity was the half werewolf and half vampire. I found out her father was in league with the werewolves. Time, in our two worlds are different. When I went to your world to save my daughter, my little Vanity's father would have been 123 when I abandoned her. But he was a werewolf so… he still looked youngish. He looked 31. He left for Calmor, a war is going to be fought, and soon. There you will have to make your decision…" I froze to my seat. What decision? What was she talking about? The queen leaned in slightly to look me in the eye. "… Vanity…"
I jumped up from my seat. "No!" I screamed. I wasn't her daughter, I couldn't be. I couldn't be… never. I shuck my head. "No! I'm not your daughter!" I screamed. I knew it was true though; I felt it. I looked at Queen Sarah as she leaned back against her chair.
"Yes Bella, you are that little girl I left on the doorstep of Charlie and Renee's home." The Queen slowly got up and walked over to me, well more like glided. She tangled her cold hand in my brown curls. I felt a burning sensation in me, and then it all stopped. "Look in the mirror Bella," Queen Sarah whispered into my ear. I turned and looked at myself in the gold mirror. My mouth dropped open. I had long, board strait black hair, and slightly curled bangs. My skin was pale, but not grey like Queen Sarah's. My eyes were the same beautiful sapphire eyes as hers, but my fingers and legs were not hers. "Your fingers come from my Aunt Susan. You got your legs from your father's sister." I turned and looked at Queen Sarah
"You, you… you had no right!" I screamed. Queen Sarah walked over to my side. I hadn't realized I'd fallen to my knees. She kneeled next to me. Her cool fingers wound into my hair.
"My doll, how I love you." Her other arm wound it's way across my back. "A mother hates to see her treasure cry," she whispered into my ear. Slowly I fell asleep in her arms.
My dream was unusual. I was standing in a room. It looked like a nursery. The walls were a soft pink. White squares ran around the room. The floor was marble, like a ballroom floor. A large pink carpet lay in the center of the room. A fireplace was on one wall. What drew my attention was the beautiful bassinet that lay in a corner of the room. It was large and had much lace. Thick velvet curtains hung around it so the baby could stay warm.
I turned as the white double doors opened. I saw Queen Sarah glide into the room. In her arms lay a little baby. She laid the child in the bassinet and started singing softly.
"Don't you fret, M'sieur Marius
I don't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now
You're here, that's all I need to know
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
And rain will make the flowers grow.
Just hold me now, and let it be.
Shelter me, comfort me
The rain can't hurt me now
This rain will wash away what's past
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
I'll sleep in your embrace at last.
The rain that brings you here
Is Heaven-blessed
The skies begin to clear
And I'm at rest
A breath away from where you are
I've come home from so far
So don't you fret, M'sieur Marius
I don't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now
That's all I need to know
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
And rain...
Will make the flowers..." Her voice played in my head. Then I realized I was witnessing a… memory. Sarah was singing me to sleep. This nursery was mine, before she'd given me to Charlie and Renee.
A/N I hope you like it. I worked really hard on this... Tell me what you think... :D
