Disclaimer: I own nothing except the plot.
A/N: This is my first attempt at a fanfic. I've posted this prologue on a trial basis and further chapters will be posted based on its reception.
Prologue:
Bella Swan felt the blood ringing in her ears, her chest heaving as she screamed, 'Come on, Victoria! Stop being a coward, and face me like the bitch you are.'
She smiled in victory as she saw flashes of red running in circles around her.
Ah, she thought, I knew the bitch wouldn't be able to resist.
Opening her mouth once again, she said, 'You've run such a merry little chase for me, it would be a shame to leave the job unfinished. Surely you can't be scared of a fragile little human like me?'
A laugh escaped her mouth as Victoria's form materialized in front of her.
Her laughter turned into a growl as Victoria pulled her head back, tugging the roots of her hair, nails digging into her scalp.
She struggled not to cry out; I'll never give her the satisfaction.
Victoria sneered, the expression twisting her beautiful features as she said, 'so brave of you, little human.'
She drew a finger down the human's cheek, a trail of mouth watering blood left in its weak.
'It hurts, does it not, knowing that the love of your life threw you to the wolves?' she continued, 'At least your family proved true. Do you know how they begged for your life, even your stepfather, when I revealed my plans to them? So noble of them, don't you think?'
Bella's lips curled into a smile full of derision as she spat on Victoria's face, feeling satisfied as she saw her become red with anger, figuratively of course.
Her jaw jarred from the force of the slap, but she refused to let the pain show.
Laughing once again, Bella's face twisted into a cruel expression, as she threw Victoria's words back at her, 'It hurts, does it not, knowing that your mate died trying to taste and savor the blood of another woman? Not even one thought was spared for you. All he cared about was my blood, mine- a fragile little human's. He died begging for one more taste.'
Victoria's expression changed for a moment, showing her pain, hurt and sorrow at this revelation before it turned into a blinding anger.
She released a roar of fury as she grabbed the human's neck in a chokehold, a smile playing on her lips as she saw her lips turn blue.
Bella closed her eyes, acceptance flooding into her as she waited for death.
She prayed for death to come soon and take her away, when suddenly Victoria's hold loosened around her neck.
Her body was thrown back, her head hitting the pavement as the sound of tearing metal reached her ears.
Her head throbbed with pain, as she opened her eyes, catching a glimpse of two blurry figures fighting before darkness enveloped her.
A/N: Reviews are welcome, constructive criticism even more so. Remember, I will only be continuing this fanfic based on the response received.
