Note: This was posted a few hours ago but was removed due to someone going around claiming new stories to be violating ToS. For the record, if any of my stories are doing so, please inform me and include which clause I am violating :)

"He's in a little corner north west of here. A little place called Forks." A sweet, angelic bell of a voice spoke softly. Bella knew not to look up at her mistresses, never look at them was the ultimate rule within the small servitude she was a part of.

Bella's breath was visible in front of her as she awaited a response. Years ago, when she was just a child, her mistresses had come for her. Not specifically, they simply wanted servants to take care of their needs. Being raised by malicious, constantly bloodthirsty vampires wasn't ideal, but it was all the young girl knew. Her life, and those of the few other children that were taken as well as her (and had survived the harsh years) belonged to them alone. Slaves - awaiting death or being turned into a vampire.

Her life was that of a nomad - always moving, always searching. Her mistresses thirsted only for blood and vengeance, for what had been done to them.

Finally, small creaks were heard within the heavy darkness, before a laugh that sounded half choked came from one of the mistresses.

Bella released another small breath of air, that laugh meant she had done well.

"At last," Mistress Nettie spoke, "We shall have our revenge against the last of them." Her voice was guttural, likely due to the missing chunks of her neck. No one spoke it and had never seen them fully, but they all knew the story of their mistresses. Mistress Lucy had obliged Bella and the other slaves one night when they were still young, and they had never been the same as before.

"Prepare your siblings,-" The mistresses had long ago adopted thinking of their slaves as being such. "We leave immediately."

Bella bowed, then moved to leave the pair in the darkness which they loved.

"Wait a moment," Mistress Lucy spoke just as Bella reached the door. Although the words were nearly silent, Bella had long ago grown accustomed to the quietness of her more reclusive Mistress. "Is there a mate? A coven?"

Bella turned with her head bowed expertly. "Yes, Mistress. He holds a mate and a coven - six members not including himself."

"Such a large number?" Mistress Nettie coughed out in an accusatory tone. "You lie! Vampires cannot live in such a number without killing each other."

"Mistress," Bella spoke quietly and slowly, awaiting a chance to give explanation. She had preempted that they may ask such - as she had wondered just same and she was only human. When her Mistresses made no move to harm her, she took it as permission to speak. "They drink only the blood of animals - it allows them to remain calmer. They even attend the local high school - constantly surrounded by humans without incident."

Bella visibly flinched when Mistress Nettie snarled gutturally - it sounded much more like a gurgled, angry choke. However, from what Bella could tell, Mistress Lucy was able to restrain her.

"How came you such knowledge? Why is so much known to you?" Mistress Lucy's voice was maliciously curious - she too naturally doubted the girl, but she knew the child to be loyal.

Bella felt a nervous lump form in her throat and had to swallow past it to allow for speech. "One of the male coven members took a liking to me - he believes we are mates and wishes to change me himself. But, I am forever loyal only to you." Falling on one knee, she bowed her head even lower. "He believes me to be visiting my mother presently. I think he could be easily manipulated to our cause, but I assume he must die for being associated with him."

Her mistresses gave no answer, simply gave instruction to prepare all under the servitude - the humans and the vampires.

"Do we use this little snack to our advantage?" Lucy spoke softly, not looking to her old friend. Both were sensitive about the way they now appeared.

"No," Nettie answered bluntly. "I shall remove him from her mind before we leave, and hear no more of mates. Once this is done, our revenge will be over and our rule will begin."

Lucy nodded softly, knowing the noises made by her doing so will be good enough for her friend.

Together they had rebelled, together they had suffered, together they will rule. Finally.

Hello!

It's been a long while since I've posted here, and while I intend to edit and complete some of my stories, my main focus will be upon this for the time being.

This is not a HEA story in any usual sense. Just saying that now. I think this should be completed in a relatively short time - two more chapters maybe? But they'll be much longer than this!

Feel free to review - especially to point out any mistakes I've made! I haven't a Beta reader, but I do proof read at least three times. Even then mistakes slip through, annoyingly. PMs are also welcome - I will answer any and all questions. The plot is a little iffy even for me so feel free to ask and I'll try to explain :)
