"You… don't… want me?"
"No."
Why was I having this flashback? This was the most painful memory my mind could hold, I can't take anymore pain. None of this was my fault, it was his fault.
Edwards fault.
He was the one who decided to leave. Not me. If he hadn't have left, I surely wouldn't be in this situation-again. I was being hunted.
Victoria came back to kill me, which, for me, was unsuspected. She wanted revenge for when Edward killed her mate, James who nearly killed me, in Phoenix.
"Bella. How have you been since the last time we saw each other?" Victoria asked, the beauty of her baby voice was mesmerizing. It sounded like ringing bells.
My reply came out sounding like I was choking on my tongue, "I have been better."
"Where is your Edward?"
"He… left."
Victoria seemed surprised. "Well then. I am utterly shocked that he left you behind, Bella. When we met in the meadow, he was so very protective of you! Does he not love you anymore Bella?"
"I don't know if he loves me anymore. Look, Victoria, if you are going to kill me, please kill me now. I don't want to live; my reason for being has left. Edward was afraid for me, because I was not a vampire. He did not want to change me into one of him, he didn't want to take away my soul. I was nearly killed by his brother on my 18th birthday. I just wanted to be with him forever and ever. Now that he's gone, I don't care if you kill me." My words came out in pain; I felt the silent tears streaming down my face.
"Bella, after what I have just heard, I have a better idea. I am not going to kill you, I am going to change you into a vampire. I think that Edward will be in agony when he finds out that you are a vampire, Bella, and that is what I want. I want him to suffer and be in pain, as I was when he killed James. You, also, will be in pain because, as you said earlier, you wanted to be with him forever. Now you can't-unless you find him-and I doubt that you will because of all the pain he caused you."
My mouth fell open with an audible pop. I couldn't believe that this was happening to me. I didn't want to live forever if I couldn't be with Edward, that was the whole reason why I wanted to be a vampire. Now, when I had the chance, I couldn't be with him unless I found him myself. That was not an option.
Victoria stalked toward me. I felt a sting of fear that she might loose control and kill me. Either way, I guaranteed to myself that it would be very painful no matter what happens. Victoria sunk into a hunters crouch and sprang lightly toward me.
The pain was unbearable and I was bewildered. The burn in my body coursed through my veins in time with my heartbeat. This was worse then when I dropped the boiling water bowl and was scalded with the water when I was 8. I would take that, and be grateful. I could not hold back my blood curling screams. I wished that I would die. I begged for someone to kill me, but no one was there. I lost track of time all together. I then started to count my gasps of air, to pass the time. I waited for the burning hell inside of me to die.
I began to notice that the burning was dulling at my hands and feet. I was getting stronger every second and I already could hear to the highway, 5 miles away. That's when I noticed that the burning in my heart was increasing, not decreasing as the rest of my body was. My heart sped off, going so fast that was all I could hear. Abruptly, my heart stopped and the burning ceased to exist.
