DISCLAIMER: I own nothing from Twilight.
SUMMARY: This is not a love triangle story or anything like that so don't worry. It is about a young girl named Lena who is turned into a vampire by a male vampire who has incredible powers that even the Volturi won't dare to touch him. He and his two cohorts don't just stay hidden and come out to feed. They have used their strength, beauty, speed, and intelligence to wreak mayhem and cause destruction and pain. They don't just kill to live... they kill for fun. Lena escapes after 100 + years (you will find out why) with an intent on ending it all. That is until she meets the Cullens and from there on she discovers anything can happen.
P.S. There will be some canon character lovin'.

A loud thump sounded in the small room as Viktor unceremoniously dumped his dinner to the ground. He wiped his mouth with his shirt sleeve as he sauntered back over to Natalya, devilish grin and big dimples painting his painfully handsome face.
"Mmm, how was he my love?" Natalya purred as Viktor wrapped his solid arms around her slim waist and placed a playful nip on her neck.
"He ate a lot of red meat."
Natalya's angelic laughter floated through the air and Lena squeezed her eyes shut even tighter and wondered through the fog of pure fear and her racing heart how these things that were so breathtakingly beautiful could be so evil.
"Which one do you want?" Viktor asked staring at the two pathetic humans left.
Natalya let out a low hungry growl and her eyes turned a deeper crimson. "I think I'll take the young one. She so innocent and fresh, still a virgin. Her blood will be ecstasy." She gently pulled out of Viktor's embrace and stalked over to the young girl like a lioness on the prowl. Bending down she sweetly ran her ice cold hand over the girl's cheek. "You're very beautiful... as far as humans go. Tell me what's your name little virgin?"
When the girl didn't respond Natalya yanked her up by her long black hair. "I asked you what your name was." She said, her voice sounding like poison.
"Don't you touch my baby!" The girl's mother made a dash across the room where she stood frozen only moments before. Natalya shoved her in the chest sending her flying back across the room like a rag doll.
"Mama!" The girl yelled and tried to go after her but Natalya yanked at her hair fiercely and kept her in place.
"Answer my question."
The young girl choked out a sob as she watched her mother cough up blood and weakly roll her head to the side. "Lllll...Leeee...Lena." She whimpered out."
"Awe little virgin Lena. At least you know your god will be waiting for you."
Lena gritted her teeth and waited for the feel of the creature's teeth to sink into her throat but it never came. Instead a powerful but smooth voice broke the moment.
"Natalya, let her go."
Natalya let out a predatory growl and Roman shot her a glare that could burn through a normal person's flesh. "You can have her mother." Natalya nodded in the direction of the broken woman.
"Let her go." Roman said again making it clear he was not going to repeat himself."
Natalya shot a quick glance over to Viktor and saw she was going to get no help from him. Viktor was still very young and much stronger than Roman but she knew he would never challenge or cross him, not with the abilities Roman contained.
"Fine take her." Natalya roughly shoved Lena into his chest and walked back over to Viktor's side pouting like a child who had just been denied a shiny new toy.
"Lena." Roman said her name just to say it relishing the way it rolled off his tongue. "I would guess that you are about 17 years of age am I right, Lena?" Lena gave him a limp nod in response not daring to look up. "Well Lena there is something different about you, something special. I can sense this about you. I don't know how and I don't know why I just do." He lifted her chin making her stare into his eyes. Lena was instantly mesmerized by his beauty. He was unreal. He leaned down whispering in her ear. "You will be my masterpiece. You will be mine forever." Uncontrollable shivers ran down Lena's spine. "It will only hurt for a while but then, then you will be reborn as a goddess."
Lena couldn't tear her big green eyes away from him. It was almost like she was hypnotized. Part of her was screaming for her to run or fight or do something but the more dominant part was completely seduced.
"You're going to turn her?" Viktor asked in shock.
"You two take her mother" Both hesitated for only a second before they did what they were told. "You need to watch your mother die before I can change you, Lena. It's the only way."
Lena couldn't move a muscle. She stood and watched her mother get massacred while Roman's strong hands held onto her shoulders. The screams of pain and horror seemed distant and although she could not move Lena could feel the warm streaks of tears that streamed down her cheeks. The last thing she remembered was the feeling of razor sharp teeth ripping into her skin and the rush of fire that ran through her veins that seemed never ending.
She was reborn as an exquisite beauty and a hideous monster.
....................................................................................................
She had no idea of how long she had been running for. She could have been going for minutes, hours, even days. All sense of time was lost. Lena paid little attention to her surroundings but from the heavy scents she could at least make out that it was a thick, lush forrest. She had only one thing on her mind and nothing was going to stop her. Lena didn't have to keep looking back to see if he or the others had trailed her. She had only left a while ago and had been away for days by herself even when she was still with them. They wouldn't notice her missing for some time and even if they tried to track her down it would be too late. She would be no more. A crack of lightening lit up the sky and small droplets of rain began falling. Lena easily maneuvered her way around the never ending maze of trees. Soon this would all be over. Soon. Another bolt of lightening pierced through the heavy grey clouds and a bewildering image appeared in front of her from out of nowhere it seemed. Lena stopped so abruptly a wave of leaves and brush swirled all around her.
A small girl with long bronze curls and chocolate brown eyes stared at her curiously. She was the most beautiful thing Lena had ever laid eyes on. Paintings of gorgeous darling cherubs did this little girl no justice. Lena knew immediately that she was something special, something different but she had to be human. The little girls intoxicating scent washed over Lena. She smelled so mouthwateringly delicious that the instinct to attack and feed quickly flitted through Lena's mind but she stopped herself at once. Even as cruel and vicious as she had been for over 100 years she would never even attempt of hurting such an unimaginable creature.
"You're heart is hurt." The little girl said. She told Lena not asked. She knew. Lena couldn't even form words. The girl's voice was like honey being slowly poured out of a jar. "We can take care of you." She smiled softly and it was almost too much beauty to bare. The little girl reached out her perfectly smooth white hand for Lena to take. Lena slowly and carefully began reaching out her own hand to take the child's
"Nessie! I told you not to run off like that!" A scolding but loving voice called out. Edward came from behind two large trees and when he saw what was going on it didn't even take him half a second to let a dangerous, protective roar rip through his throat. He was over to Nessie scooping her up in his arms even before a simple human mind, let alone a vampire's could comprehend what was going on. Nessie clung to Edward's side with her arms wrapped loosely around his neck. Unlike him however, she remained calm and the picture of innocence.
Seconds later Bella, Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, and Jacob showed up, clear worry etched across their faces. They had heard Edward's growl. Bella was over to Edward's side at once checking to see if her daughter was alright. The others stood back and waited. From the sheer look of Edward's body language they didn't want to do anything to make the situation worse than it already was.
"Oh my God, Nessie are you ok?" Bella took her from Edward's reluctant arms and cradled her baby girl against her chest placing soft kisses in her hair.
"She was thinking of feeding on her." Edward hissed through clenched teeth. Bella threw her shield out around Edward and Nessie and stepped back looking at Lena with hatred and disgust. Jacob, Emmett, and Rosalie all readied to attack but Carlisle and Esme stood motionless knowing that there was something more to this.
"She wasn't going to feed on me daddy." Nessie's honey voice broke through the intense tension but still did nothing to ease any of the Cullens.
"Like hell she wasn't." Emmett, no longer able to resist a good fight bounded forward ready to attack. With a simple flick of her fingers Lena sent Emmett crashing into a tree about 200 yards away. The tree uprooted and went crashing down as Emmett quickly got back to his feet. Rosalie growled.
"She's telekinetic." Edward yelled out in warning. Emmett cautiously walked back behind Edward and Bella, bark and leaves falling from his clothes.
Lena held her hand steady ready to do more damage if she had to but after a long moment she looked back at the child called Nessie's perfect face and fell down to her knees. She let her head drop in defeat. She was going to ask the Volturi to kill her but this was an opportunity she realized she shouldn't let pass her by. She felt it was actually better this way. Being killed by the Volturi was too dignified for someone as horrible as she. "Just do it." She said in barely a whisper but she knew that they could all hear her.
Edward's body language changed as he read her thoughts. He quirked a conflicted eyebrow and stared at the vampire in front of him not knowing what to do. Her thoughts were painful to listen to but he couldn't stop himself. It was as if he could feel the pure disgust she felt for herself, taste the thousands of innocents she had so ruthlessly slaughtered, and feel the excruciating agony in her heart at watching the one she loved most be torn to pieces before her very eyes while not being able to do a thing.
"Edward?" Carlisle asked, concerned as he watched his son also fall to his knees.
"Edward!" Bella held Nessie tighter and placed a panicked hand on her husband's back.
"She was headed to Italy before she was stopped by Nessie. She was going to ask that to Volturi take her life." Lena wondered for a moment how he could have known this but that was the least important thing on her mind.
Bella inwardly cringed. Despite the many human memories that were lost behind the thick film, the one of Edward's own attempt at Volturi suicide was one that would always stay with her.
"Let them have her." Rosalie spat out.
"She must have done something serious if she wanted those clowns to kill her." Jacob interjected, his body no longer trembling ready to take on its werewolf form.
"Why would you want the Volturi to take your life? What have you done?" Carlisle asked gently but utterly curious.
Lena finally looked up to the sky and let the rain wash over her pale face. She let out a defeated gut wrenching cry. "Because I'm a monster! I don't deserve to exist in any way, shape, or form. I need this all to end. It's the only way out."
Edward could now see she was thinking of a vampire named Roman. He could see the power he had over her, what he had done to her, turned her into. He was the real monster. "You're not what you think you are." Edward told her. "We can help you." He didn't know why but he suddenly felt a strong connection to this strange girl. Her mind was one of the most horrible, beautiful, and chaotic ones he had ever read.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, one minute you want to tear this girl to pieces and the next you want to help her?" Jacob shook his head and shoved his hands in his pockets. "I will never understand how your kinds minds work." Lena breathed in and for the first time could tell he wasn't a vampire. He smelt like an animal. It was sickening. She knew what he was. She had heard about werewolves but never encountered one before. None of that mattered though. She would be dead soon.
"I don't want help! I want blackness! I want nothing! Just please kill me!" She grabbed Edward's shirt and begged. "Please, just kill me."
"I'm not going to kill you and neither is anyone else here."
"Speak for yourself." Rosalie scoffed.
Lena untangled her fist from Edward's shirt and shot up to her feet. "Fine then I'll go to the Volturi like I planned."
Edward shot up to his feet as well and grabbed her arm stopping her before she could take off. "You are not dying."
Lena glared at Edward. "Take your hand off of me, now."
"We can help you Lena." Edward told her knowing her name from reading her thoughts.
"Please let us help you." Carlisle said.
"Why would you want to help me. Why do you even give a damn. You have no idea who I' am or what I've done."
Esme stepped around her husband. "Because there's good in you Lena. I know there is."
If Lena's long dead heart could still beat it would be bursting through her chest at that moment. Her hungry red eyes grew large with astonishment at she looked at the woman before her. It couldn't be. She was the mirror image. "Mom." Lena muttered so softly that not even the Cullens' inhuman senses could detect it.
