The Fall

"True love burns the brightest, but the brightest flames leave the deepest scars." - Unknown author

"Take care of yourself," he breathed, cool against my skin.

There was a light, unnatural breeze. My eyes flashed open. The leaves on a small vine maple shuddered with the gentle wind of his passage.

He was gone.

Take care of yourself? Why should I when he was my world, my all? He said he loved me, he said that I was his life now. That was obviously a lie. Now because of him I am a loner. All my friends stay away from me like I'm a venomous snake. I changed my whole appearance; I have black hair with side bangs, I wear only skinny jeans and converse. I changed my whole wardrobe. I burned the blue top that Edward loved. I burned everything he ever gave me. Every single damn thing is in ashes.

7 months later.

I was falling. Everyone hated me except for my family. My dad tried to get me with Jacob Black, who I guessed had a huge crush on me. But he reminded me of the day I asked him about vampires. I hate the Cullen's for doing this. They took everything from me. I swore that if I ever see them with immortal eyes, I would kill them. Which made me start my mission: Find a vampire and be changed no matter what. And I will.

As I was staring at my wall, like every other day, I heard a noise from my window. I walked over to the old creaky thing and opened it though I knew I shouldn't. I saw no one but I left it open to bring in the nice autumn breeze. As I lay down on my bed, I closed my eyes and started to think of anything but the Cullen's. What were they doing? Are they happy? I wonder how Alice is doing, probably herself.

I heard a laugh, a soft musical laugh. I jumped up with too much of a sudden movement and fell off my bed. I was expecting to meet my good old friend, the floor, but cold arms constricted around me and caught me right when my face was exactly one inch from the floor.

As I met the bloody crimson eyes, I smiled. Perfect. A vampire. It was Victoria, though I was surprised that she didn't let me fall. Her arms were around me still, the coolness making me sad to the point where I dropped down into tears. They overflowed my eyes and came down like a waterfall, making my eyes red and puffy as well as my cheeks.

The next thing I know, Victoria had me in a hug, cooing me, saying that everything was gonna be alright. Psh, as if.

"Aren't you going to kill me?" I asked in a small voice.

She laughed softly and sympathetically. "Why would I do that my child? I understand the depression you are going through, since James was my mate and now he is dead," she said sadly, barely getting the last word out.

She started to sob too. Except, her perfectly flawless skin didn't puff up, nor did her eyes. How did she know how I felt, she had someone to actually love, Edward just had me as a pet.

"But, James actually loved you. He didn't string you along like Edward. I was nothing but a pet to them. And only a pet," I said through tears.

"Oh but there Bella you are wrong. He only had me because he thought I was strong enough for the coven. He faked it just like Edward did. They were lifeless idiots who never knew how it felt what heart-broken is. But we have. And we must stay strong even though we don't have our "loved ones" with us. You and me are two of many girls who have been played around wrong. We must be independent with or without men," she said with bravery and confidence.

Wow. She sounds like my mom. And at that I laughed. Victoria looked at me questionably.

"Sorry. You sounded like my mother when you gave the speech. But I understand where you're coming from. You know, I always thought that you were a evil type person, but you're really motherly." I commented.

She started to dry-sob again, but harder. I patted her back, though I don't know why she was crying.

Victoria sniffed. "I'm sorry. It's just that you called me motherly, which reminded me of my human daughter, Cody. I had her at the age of sixteen when I married a man named Orson, which I deeply regretted. Orson was a jerk, he never really cared for me or Cody, he used me for pleasure. I remember my mother and father telling me that no matter what I had to stay with him because he was one of the most richest men in South Carolina, my family was always broke. Everything was awful, until James and Laurent came. It was rainy a rainy night and I was at home, reading a story to Cody," Victoria stopped then smiled at the name of her daughter. "Cody was probably the cutest little girl I've known. She got her looks from me and only had her fathers moss colored eyes. She had my red hair which for her grew really quick and when she ran it was truly like flames. Cody was such a happy child, always smiling and giggling and only cried once a week. Anyways, James and Laurent walked inside my house and like any normal human I reached for Orson's gun. I shot at James first, he looked more like a threat. The bullet hit him and was crushed. I was so shocked I began shooting more and more and more until there was no more bullets. I got tired and ran up to Cody's room where I told her to get under the bed. James was fast and grabbed me by my neck then bit me.

"Three days of the most excruciating pain and when I woke up, I was angry. I took off, James and Laurent running after me. James kept telling me that if I returned I would hurt my baby, but I didn't listen. I got back to the house and heard the dark and drunken laughs of Orson upstairs. The thing is, I only heard one heartbeat. I ran upstairs and got to my daughters room. Orson had suffacated her with a pillow. As a newborn, I got angered fast and easily. I killed Orson, or, not before I tortured him though. I threw him against the walls, the floors. I scratched his eyes out and-"

"Okay, I get it. You got him good." I interrupted.

Victoria smiled sheepishly. "Sorry."

"It's okay." I assured her. I was amazed beyond amazed. Her a mother? That would of never crossed my mind. I felt sorry for her and soon cried with her.

"Victoria, can I ask you something?"

"You already did, but yes you may." She replied.

I sighed deeply then looked at Victoria intensely. "Victoria, change me, please." I begged.

Victoria looked at me incredulously. "Bella, this is not the life you want! I hate being a vampire, why do you want to be changed?" She asked.

"Revenge on the Cullen's." I said simply.

"Revenge? You want to kill them?" She asked, again.

"Yes, I do. So, please, please change me," I pleaded.

Victoria hesitated for awhile. "Please." I repeated.

She sighed dramatically. "I guess. But in order to change you, you must be far away. Probably Canada, just in case some of the. . . never mind."

I nodded viciously and a grin appeared on my lips.

She smiled and said, "Okay, let's go, but first we need money and clothes. I hate stealing clothes from humans." Victoria said with a laugh.

I jumped up and grabbed a duffel bag and stuffed it with my shoes and clothes. I put my money in my front pocket of the duffel bag.

Victoria change out of her clothes quickly and luckily she and I were the same size. She now wore a dress, which I didn't know I had, that went to her knees. It was a simple yellow dress with a deep v-neck revealing some of her cleavage.

"Ready?"

"Yup, ready." I said.

Victoria grabbed me and jumped out the window. I silently said goodbye to my human memories, and started my new journey.

Thank you for reading. I will most likely update tomorrow or the day after.
