Chapter 1
Awakening
On the night that the vampire, Edward Cullen, bit Isabella Swan, something inside of her snapped. Something sinister inside of her was awakened.
She gasped loudly as a familiar power surged through her entire body, along with memories that had once been locked away within her mind. The surge of Isabella's memories and power was excruciatingly painful for her human body. Not only was her mind changing, but her body was changing as well. And soon she was crying out from the pain of it all.
Isabella's screams echoed through the woods as they grew more and more tortured. The whole time Edward held her tenderly in his arms. Whispering encouraging words in her ear and placing gentle kisses on her fevered brow. That was all that he could do.
Every time she would cry out, he would wince as if it was himself that was being inflicted with pain.
Three days passed until Isabella became silent. Edward never left her side. He had held her the whole time. But now as she grew still, he placed her on the grass and patiently waited for her to become aware.
Slowly Isabella opened her eyes. She blinked a few times from the brightness of the sun. Starring directly into it didn't bother her as it had when she was human. She lifted her hands in front of her face and examined them; first the palms then the backs of them. Her skin had become pale and her arms bore toned muscle. She flexed them and smiled as she felt the ripple of her muscles.
Isabella pushed herself into a sitting position, brushing her tangled hair from her face. She scanned her surroundings. She was in a clearing in the woods. It was a clearing which she had visited many times before as a human.
She shifted her eyes all around. Thanks to her advanced senses everything was clear and precise around her. Everything she looked at was vibrant and alive. Even the tress and ground seemed to breathe with life. She could hear, see, and smell so much more than her human senses could ever have comprehended. She could hear the grass growing beneath her, smell what was left of her human scent, and hear the distant rumbling of ocean waves.
Isabella stood and stretched her limbs and spun in graceful circles; enjoying her freedom and the feel of her power coursing once again through her veins. She then plopped back down on the grass and gazed into the sky with a content sigh. She could see all the way into the heavens.
She was not human anymore. Nor had she ever truly been. Nor was she a vampire now; even though she had been bitten by one. The bite had only released a consciousness from inside her; from the worldly prison were it had been locked until the time such as this. It had released her and she had regained her true identity once again.
She could remember everything; from her preexistence, to being human, to now.
She chuckled. It was so good to be back to normal.
"Bella?"
Isabella looked into the confused eyes of the vampire that had bitten her.
She smiled at him. His name was Edward and he loved her.
Edward returned her smile.
He smelled wonderfully delicious. Isabella knew he would taste much better than he smelled, but for some reason she couldn't bring herself to kill him.
Yet, she thought. This is going to be easy, so why not have some fun.
"Bella? Are you all right? How are you feeling?" Edward asked reaching towards her.
"Why, I am feeling better than I have in years!" She grinned wider to show her demonic teeth, all glistening white and pointed like daggers.
Edward frowned and dropped his outstretched hand. He was taken back.
"Your teeth look odd; I've never seen a vampire with teeth like that." He looked closer. "And your eyes! They aren't the tail tell burgundy of a newborn vampire; they are the color of pure gold!"
"Oh, but I'm not a vampire!" She giggled.
"Bella, I bit you. You are a vampire. Do you remember?" He said looking slightly abashed. Could she not remember her time as a human just as Alice couldn't remember?
"I remember everything. And I am not a vampire." Isabella giggled again. This was too much fun, toying with prey. It had been much too long!
"Ok, then. If you say so." He said rolling his eyes. He reached for her hand and she let him take it.
His cold, dead skin made her flesh crawl. She tried not to show her discomfort.
So he still thinks I am his "Bella". Isabella laughed to herself.
He must have thought she was joking. If only he knew.
"Hm . . . you're warm." He commented; thinking that it was just the remaining blood in her system.
"That's because I am not a vampire."
"Then what exactly are you?" He answered, trying to humor her. She still must have had venom in her system confusing her.
"I am by far something worse." She grinned, squeezing his hand.
And she was.
Isabella was a demon. She was a killer of killers.
A Krsnik.
AN - Oh! Oh! The tables have turned and now it's Bella that wants to eat Edward!
BAWAHAHAHA!
Review? Yes, no, maybe?
Wikipedia says (so it must be right, right?) -
The krsnik, a shaman in Istrian folklore, turns into an animal at night to fight off the kudlak, his evil vampire antithesis, with the krsnik appearing as a white animal and the kudlak as a black one. The krsnik 's soul leaves the body, either voluntarily or due to a higher power, to fight evil agents and ensure good harvest, health, and happiness. The legend evolved from a pre-Christian myth present in Slovenia, Croatia, and other countries, in which the celestial pagan god Perun is locked in eternal combat with the evil snake of the underworld, Veles. The krsnik is taught magic by Vile (fairies), and has the ability to heal people and cattle with traditional medicine.
The origin of the name may be from the word krst, which means "cross", and which in Macedonia and Serbia is the word for a stone sign denoting village boundaries.
- I'm really into folklore, and really into anime. I kind of came up with this story idea from watching Trinity Blood.
