Escaping the Inescapable- Chapter 1 Your Way Out

BPV (Bella)

"Phil stop please." I screamed as I tried to run down the hall to the kitchen to get away from him.

"What so you can leave me like you mother did!" He yelled in his drunken rage.

He lifted his right fist up and hit me in side knocking me down onto the kitchen floor I screamed out in pain as I hit the white tile I looked up into his cold heartless face. He was smiling down at me; he like making me scream like this was all a game and my screams only added to his excitement. He leaned over me as he continued to hit and punch me; I tried to stay quiet not wanting to give him the satisfaction of my screams or add to his confidence but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't help but whimper out in pain as I quivered underneath him and could see the small pool of blood lying beneath me on the white tile floors and staining my clothes.

I truly think he was going to kill me this time he never had gone this long without letting up a bight .His punches where still as strong as ever with no sign of letting up anytime soon. I had to get away I don't know how much longer I could fight consciousness; I couldn't live with this anymore for the past 6 months I had to deal with Phil constantly beating me while he was drunk out of his mind he always told me that it was my fault that my mother left

'God I wish she took me with her; why didn't she? Because she was a sick bitch who only cared for herself! '

I didn't know what to do I had nowhere else to go and Phil threatened if I told anyone about this or ran away he would find me and kill me before I could testify against him. I believe him if there's one thing about Phil that's true he will always keep his word.

I looked around franticly for a possible escape. The back door was only on the other side of the room if I could just reach it I could make a run for it into the black forest that rested behind my house. Quickly before Phil could hit me with the next blow I lifted up my knee with as my force possible and kneed him in the groin.

"Ahhh! Mmmm! "Phil groaned loudly as he sunk to the floor and curled up in pain.

I got up as fast as possible and grabbed onto the counter for support and spit some blood out of my mouth than whipped my chin with my arm.

"Goodbye Phil." I muttered.

Then ran to the back door and sprinting off the porch and ran into the pitch black forest as fast as my legs could carry .I was so sore I could tell I was bruised from head to toe each step I took my legs felt heaver and heaver .I sob harder from how much the beating I took hurt I need to find a hospital. But I had no clue where I was going I just knew I needed to run there would be no reason or chance to find help if I got caught. I would have to worry about getting help later for now all I had to worry about was getting as far from Phil as possible right now.

$%^&*(!%^&*(#%)#

I felt the sharp rocks stabbed into my foot while the fallen branches scrapped my legs. I continued to stumble across the forests floor for what seemed like hours my body ached as I pushed off the tree's hoping to grain more balance and energy to push forward.

"AHHH!"

I scream as my foot got caught in the roots of the tree sending me tumbling onto the dark forest floor. I laid there and let the sobs shake my body .Leafs and mud stuck to every part of my body I felt my feet stinging and looked down and from the light of the moon I could see blood gushing out of them they were torn and shredded with gravel stuck inside the wounds as soon as I saw it the pain hit me even harder. My arm and legs were also badly cut and bruised from Phil and falling this was it I was dead I don't want to fight anymore I wont to simply die in peace. I was happy I had finally gotten away from Phil and stuck up for myself I had gotten this far and for that I'm proud no one could call me weak after what I've endured. I stared up into the moon light for what I thought the last time and let my eyes close.


KPV (Katherine)

"Mmm…"I moaned as I dropped the man's lifeless body on the ground.

I pulled the lighter out of my pocket and light him on fire he would just be another one of those people that mysteriously go's missing and never found but soon forgotten. I smiled as I watched the flames burn his body till it was no longer recognizable. When a light breeze blew against my face a strong sent of 'Roses and Vanilla' hit me; it smelt mouth watering but you could tell that it was fresh blood since the sent was so strong and a lot of it . . .

'maybe there was another vampire around playing with its food but who would waste so much blood if you planned to drain them.' My minded wondered.

Curiosity got the best of me like always and I decided followed the sent to see for myself if I had an unwanted visitor on my territory. I tilted my head towards the sky to catch to location of the sent; it wasn't too far away maybe two or three miles but it took me no more than 10 seconds to reach it .I scanned the ground and gasped, there was a small girl lying under a tree that was in the center of a small clearing.

She looked to be no older than 19 blood and mud caked almost every visible part of her body, but to a vampires eyes you could see much more. Her arms and legs where covered in dark blue bruises with gashes running up and down them as well; her feet where shredded with gravel and dirt buried inside the wounds and soaked in blood I could feel my teeth get heaver and sharper cutting into my gums from the smell but I ignored it. What happened to this poor girl it was quite a gruesome sight and that's coming from a vampire who's 557 years old. When you're around that long you would think you've seen everything.

She reminded me of someone . . . she reminded me of myself 537 years ago when I was still human.

(This is the short version of Katharine's story and how she became a vampire I might turn it into a flash back but for now I'm not)

My father had beaten me as a girl you see back then there was no law against it man where the superior what they said was the law. One day I had fought back when he made an attempted to assault me again and punched him in the eye and ran although that was a mistake he grabbed me by the hair and pulled me down. He beat me till I was on the verge of death it was punishment for showing him disrespect was what he said. When Klaus heard my screams and save me; he savagely killed my farther and gave me his blood in attempt of healing me I could still remember he constantly repeating "no not my doppelganger god damn it not her," although I still ended up dying .Instead of being dead I woke up a vampire I left Klaus as soon as I woke up taking off on my own after hearing him talk with a witch about if I could still be used as the sacrifice and I was not sticking around to see what he meant . Now I haven't seen or heard from him in almost 250 years I understand what he meant by the sacrifice, I'm glad I didn't stick around now for the past 537 years he been hunting me down wonting revenge for me dying and running.

I knew I couldn't let her die then. I ran over to her side picking her up in my arms.

"No please. . ." She mumbled and began to try and squirm out of my arms.

I gripped on to her tighter and she soon gave up and I could hear her heart slowing down.

I sprinted towards the house I owned here in Italy from the 1700s that I had been staying in. It was a large white Victorian mansion with many large windows all around. It was deep in the forest so no one would accidently crossed it and if they did then like the others they would all but disappear and their names would be heard no more.

I rushed into the house to the living room that rested on the first floor and laid the girl on the soft white couch. There was no time to waste I quickly bite my wrist and I let the blood ooze out before pressing it up to her mouth but she wouldn't swallow and tried to move my wrist away from her face and spit it out only resulting in smearing it across her face. Why did she have to be so difficult when I'm trying to save her life for once I'm trying to do something good!

"No, no I need you to drink this, ok". I said as if a mother scolding a child. "it's going to make you feel better please try to swallow I don't want to have to force this down your throat but I will if I have to."

I had to bite my wrist again since it had already healed and put it in her mouth it took a moment to give up and do as I asked; she swallowed a little bight by little bight and I could already start to see some of her cuts on her arms start to scab over and heal. After about 3 minutes she stopped and tried to push my wrist away.

"Come on keep on drinking it ok." I smoothed remembering how scared I was when tried to force his blood down my throat.

She continued to drink and after a while when I was sure she had enough blood in her system to be turned I decided to start to ask her some questions she should be strong enough by now.

"What's your name and how old are you?" Pulling my wrist away and heard her whimper from loss of blood I laughed quietly.

"I-Isabella Marie Cingo . . ."She took a deep breath she was still very weak."But I like to be called Bella, I'm 18. Who a-are you?" she sounded scared and slightly delirious.

"Why don't you tell me why I found you in the woods first and what happened and don't lie to me Isabella anyone could tell this was no accident."

Her eyes began to water, she slowly shook her head at the memory and I helped her sit up. She told me about how her mother left a few months ago not bothering to take her with her. Then her step-farther began to drink and became abusive, blaming her for her mother leaving him and finally she couldn't take it and new she had to get away before she died.

By the end of her story I was holding her in my lap I felt so terrible for the poor girl she had gone through the same torture I went through and no one deserves that. She was shaking in sobs on my shoulder as I tried to comfort her.

"Bella if there was a way out a way that you wouldn't have to go back or ever be hurt again would you take it even if it meant leaving everything you have behind?"I was basically asking her if she would be a vampire.

"In a heartbeat." she said without hesitation. "Now I told you my story will you tell me your name and why I'm here and what was I drinking?"She continued. Wow she asks a lot of questions. . .

"Why my name is Katherine Pierce there is no need to be afraid I'm not going to hurt you what you where drinking was my blood."

She started violently coughing and once she got it under control she quickly lifted her hands to her mouth and whipped some of the blood off that was smeared around her face then brought her hands down to where she could see what was on them.

"O my god." She sounded like she was going to be sick and putting one of her hands to her mouth and the other to her stomach.

I felt my veins coming out and my fangs sharpen and extend.

Her face light up in horror "WHAT ARE YOU!" She gasps trying to back away now and franticly moving her head as if looking for an exit.

"Your way out." I said smirking.

She stared at me confused but before she could say another word I grabbed her neck and with a swift snap that echoed throughout the house she was died and fell limply back on the couch.


BPV (Bella)

"Now I told you my story will you tell me your name and why I'm here and what was I drinking?"I asked she looked slightly annoyed with all my questions.

"Why my name is Katherine Pierce there is no need to be afraid I'm not going to hurt you what you where drinking was my blood." She said causally.

I was drinking her blood what the hell no that not possible she must be joking or some psycho that belonged in an asylum! I instinctively whipped my hands across my mouth and felt something dry but sticky on my face. I began to try and rub it off and brought my hands down to see what it was.

And it was in fact blood.

"O my god." My face went pale.

I wrapped my hand around my stomach trying not to throw up I had been drinking blood. But why did she even give me blood in the first place and how did it make me better almost all the cuts and bruises on my body where almost gone now . . . what the hell is she.

I looked back up at her face and watched in horror as dark black veins popped out covering her cheeks while her eyes went darker with red veins around them looked iterated and turned a bright red. She opened her mouth and you could see two large shaper canines an inch and a half long. She looked terrifying.

"WHAT ARE YOU?" I scream and got up to try and get away.

I know it was a stupid question deep down I knew she was a vampire but I could bring myself to believe they were real it was impossible vampire where supposed to be a myth.

In a flash she stood up was in my face how did she move so fast I was half way across the room and she was still on the couch? All I knew is that she wasn't human she couldn't be.

"Your way out." She smirked.

I remember earlier when she asked me if there was a way out would I take it and yes of course I would but what didn't know that this was my way!

Then there was a sharp pain in my neck and everything went black but her words still echoed in my mind. . .

(*&^##$%^&*(*%#

My eyes fluttered open and I found myself on Katharine's couch; my neck ached and my head throbbed in pain. I slowly sat up and looked around no one was in the room where did she go and when did I every fall asleep? Everything was blurry it was like I was trying to remember a dream after I woke up.

". . . Katharine!" I yelled faintly remember hearing that name before I fell asleep but my voice just echoed throughout the empty house.

All the blinds and window where closed leaving the room in darkness but strangely I had no problem seeing. I walked over to the blinds and pulled them back in on swift motion. As soon as the light hit my face I felt like I was being buried by fire I collapsed onto the ground in pain as my skin was steaming.

"Ahhh! Help . . . God it hurts .Please help someone!" I screeched terrified.

I heard the door slam open from somewhere in the house and a second later I was pulled out from the light and the burning stopped relief filled me as the cool shadows felt soothing against my skin.

"God Bella what were you thinking you could have died! And what are you doing awake you should still be in transformation for another 3 hours or so?"

"What was I thinking! I opened the curtain to let light in and it burned me what the hell in going on! A-and why can't I remember anything and what fucking transformation!" I said out of breath panicking.

" Bella calm down everything going to be fine .Your memory is going to be fuzzy for a little while but I promise it will come back soon. And the light burned you is because are kind can't go in the sun light useless we have one of these rings that are made for us by witches" she said holding up her left hand where her ring was on her index finger."Now while I was out I found a witch that owned me a favor and had her make you one. Put it on."

She through the ring over to me and I caught it; the silver was all around the ring and the swirly design slowly molded into a large dark blue stone right in the middle. I stared at it for a moment more and put it on.

"What did you mean 'are kind'?" I questioned I was so confused I couldn't remember anything and now nothing made sense.

"Bella I'm a vampire and so are you."

"Wait . . . w-what. I mean . . . how?" Then it all can back to me in a rush.

"Bella are you ok?" She said staring into my blank face with worry.

I threw my hand up to my neck in panic and felt no bite mark, scratches, or bruises. Katharine clearly saw the confusion on my face and decided it was time to explain what was going on.

"Don't worry I didn't bite you. I'm not your normal modern day vampire I'm and original "She said proudly and continued.

"Now there are two types of vampires one is and original like me and you the other is an experimental vampire" she said with disgust. "But that's a different story. What important now is that you understand that I turned you because the same thing happened to me . . . my father beat me I was lucky enough to have Klaus the first vampire to ever exist come and find me before my father killed me."

"I was given a second chance at life when he turned me; not to be bossed around anymore to be the one who had the control not to every have to be afraid again. I gladly accepted this life has the one I always wonted and that's what I won't for you Bella that why I turned you. When I saw you dying in the clearing I saw myself I do hope you're not angry with me for what I did." She said sincerely.

I pulled her into a tight hug.

"Thank you Katharine like I said earlier I would take a chance at a new life in a heartbeat."

She smiled happily then her face turned into a deadly smirk.

"Come on Bella you need to feed to complete the transition and I think I have someone in mind that no one will miss."

I knew just who she was talking about and I couldn't agree more I was going to make him suffer just like he made me; his past was finally coming back to bite.

My face light up darkly with the idea and quickly agreed.

Well you know what they say pay backs a bitch.
