"Laurent!" I cried in pleasure. Finally someone who understood all that had happened, someone whom I didn't have to pretend for. The meadow seemed to come back to life, magical once again.
Ecstatic, I began running, ungracefully, towards him. I was approximately halfway to him when I stopped short. His face was bemused and curious, and then I noticed his eyes- RED. Blood red… Human blood I thought, with a shudder. Red around the rims, and pitch black else where. He was hungry, and I was the most delectable entrée in sight.
Be careful! He's very thirsty The lovely velvet voice warned
"Hello again, Bella," he began in a sultry voice. "I didn't think I would see you here."
You MUST keep him calm. Distract him, anything! HIS voice whispered
"H-hi," I stuttered. "I-I DO live here. A-and I thought you were in Denali with Tanya's family…"
Laurent paused a thoughtful, distant look on his face, "Ah, yes. I like Tanya very much..." he smiled, "and I like her sister, Irena, even more."
Shaking his head in amusement, he continued, "I did stay for a while, but their unusual diet is much too strict for my liking. It isn't worth the effort to spare a few meaningless humans, like you."
His comment stung, reminding me of how E- he evidently thought the same thing. Trying to ignore his biting (AN: Pun intended!!) remark, I barely whispered, "Jasper has problems with it, too…" I trailed off, my heart was beating so loud and quick it was difficult to think, a human a mile away may have even heard it!
"Oh? Is that why they left? The Cullens, I mean."
Just hearing their name tore into the hole in my chest. I tightly wrapped both my arms around my chest. "N-no," I gasped. "I'm no one special, why should they stay for me?"
Laurent took a few quick sides and suddenly appeared about 3 feet away from me.
"Hmm... Well, it seems you've caught me at a bad time. You see, Victoria sent me for you, but right now I'm hunting. And you DO smell SO appetizing. You know, you're extremely lucky I found you, instead of her. She's still upset about James, after all, your Edward killed him, so it is only fair she kills you… Mate for Mate." There was a short pause before he continued. "I know. It doesn't make much sense to me either, but what Victoria says goes, besides, I'm always up for a little sport. Funny, I thought it would be much more difficult and exciting to get you away from your strange coven. It appears that they don't care about you as much as it seemed… Oh, well. Back to business…." He said in an alluring voice, and then he pounced, knocking me to the cold ground.
I was going to die. "Poor Charlie, and Renee and Jake…" My thoughts trailed off in despair.
Don't give up, Bella! Damn it! Don't you DARE give up! Please! For me! For Alice, and Carlisle and Esme! For OUR FAMILY! Edward's beautiful voice pleaded. It hurt to think of him, but none of it mattered any more.
It was time for me to let go of this misery. I gave into my selfish side. I just gave up… WINCE Laurent just bit me, his teeth grazing my neck, as though in a lover's caress… My parents would WANT me to be happy, even if it meant leaving them…
Suddenly Laurent was ripped off of me, a flash of black, red, and white streaking across the meadow.
"Damn it, Laurent! That WASN'T part of the plan!" A high shrilly voice cried in fury, as the blurs stopped, 10 feet away.
VICTORIA!
They began fighting, when Victoria finished off Laurent, and I watched in horror as she lit him on fire. Sure, he wasn't a friend, heck, he tried to KILL me… but no one should have to die that way. Victoria grabbed her left arm, and walked, at a human pace, back over to me.
"Well, well, well," She looked down at me in annoyance. "It's the Cullen's pet. Seems they don't care about you, after all. Humph. Such a pity. Oh, well. I enjoy playing the torturer… after all, it still is your fault your little friends killed my James." She sauntered up until she was a few inches from me. I pushed myself up, my elbows weak. She laughed darkly.
"Mmmm. Your blood DOES smell delicious. That IDIOT has already spilt it, so I might as well have a taste. You'll be more fun to torment after you've under gone the transformation, don't you think?" She asked rhetorically.
I screamed in pain, as she bit me on my calf, and a fire began spreading from my neck down. She only smiled a viscous smile, and began to drain me of what little blood I had left.
Suddenly, she paused, lifting her lips from my leg, and began sniffing the air.
"No…" She murmured, gazing off into the woods behind me. I followed her stare, ignoring the pain that grew from moving my neck. Amongst the trees, were 5 wolves, the size of horses.
"It CAN'T be!!" She cried, and then shot off like a bat from hell, (AN: Lol pun still intended, although I probably won't do this too often…) and off into the distance. I noticed the wolves, to my astonishment, followed after, almost, if not faster than the speed of a vampire. I knew what my fate was, and I was happy with it, except for that I would never get to thank my parents and Jake for being there for me. However, I accepted my fate; I welcomed it, after all I deserved it. I was going to die… I'm dieng… I allowed myself to think his name ignoring the pain tearing my chest to shreds. It hurt even worse than the emotional pain I had dealt with since September…. Edward, Edward, Edward!! I Love You, I thought before losing consciousness to the fire that consumed me.
