After reading the Twilight series, I got a deep inspiration to continue with a story of my own. Granted it will not be at all like Stephanie Meyer's outstanding wisdom but I wanted to have fun with it. Believe it or not, I thought about this story sitting in my room just thinking about what could happen after Breaking Dawn. I hope it is to all of the fans liking and please feel free to tell me how you feel.

"Poison Ivy"

Chapter 1: Human Fears

Rain clouds covered the sky of Forks as Renesmee, Jacob and I went to hunt. Edward was in a particular pissy mood because of Alice and her insistence with our daughter's wedding. He was no more ready to give Nessy away then I was but I knew he would come around. Seeing Nessy happy was all that really mattered in the end and I could see the joy in her eyes when she was with the love of her life. It reminded me of the young love Edward and I had experienced.

As the small drops hit the leaves and moss of the forest bottom, the three of us sniffed the air for the prey we so longed to find. Though Jacob preferred human food, he enjoyed the hunt and the beautiful way Nessy moved as she stalked her meal. They were inseparable and I felt, sometimes, like the third wheel when we went hunting, though Renesmee wanted the 'mother/daughter' time.

I laughed and shook my head as I watched them travel deeper into the forest, always staying ten paces behind them. 'So much for mother/daughter bonding.' I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, allowing my body to be overtaken by my senses. I could hear the faint laughing and teasing in the background.

"Try not to wonder too far you two. I promised your father we'd be home by sundown."

"Alright mom! We won't."

I waited till I knew they were far enough away so that I could concentrate. I preferred to hunt alone, a point at which Emmitt used to make fun of. His ever teasing lines of my inability to hunt without being 'distracted' irritated me. It wasn't that I needed to be alone, more so that I liked it. Being alone gave me a deeper feel for my surroundings.

In a short while I heard a faint noise about twenty yards away. It didn't sound like an animal and it sure as hell wasn't one of the Cullens. Nessy and Jacob were more North of my location and this noise seemed to be behind me rather then in front. I couldn't determine what it was as I sniffed the air and listened for familiar or unfamiliar noises. It wasn't until I heard a hiss that I began to worry. As I turned around, there stood a five foot six inch woman with jet black hair. 

She had a black trench coat covering her body with black slacks and jewelry covered her fingers and neck. She looked into my eyes as if I were the enemy.

"Who the hell are you?" I asked her with a sullen and controlled voice.

"I might ask you the same question."

I looked at her like she was crazy. I knew that other vampires strolled the woods and traveled through the country side but I had never heard of a female vampire getting territorial in a location that was not her own, especially if she were alone.

"This is my home. Unless you are passing through, you have no business here."

I saw her move her pointy finger back and forth as if she was telling me no, all the while her eyes never leaving my face. "I go where I please."

"Then go but you have no right to stay here."

"Tisk, tisk, tisk. I like it here. I may stay. I may not. You don't have the authority to tell me otherwise."

I looked at her with fury. I haven't been this angry since Alice had to throw me an Edward the biggest tenth anniversary party in the history of man kind, and vampire kind. I wanted to rip Alice's throat out for all the trouble and stress she put me through. With all the secrecy, I thought something was horribly wrong, only to find out it was a party.

"You are on Cullen land. I have every right to tell you to get the hell off."

She slowly moved forward, only to stop as soon as she got two steps in front of my face. "I'll leave only if you make me."

Laughing was going to come. I could feel it. This lady obviously didn't know who she was dealing with. My only concern was that Renesmee and Jacob might get involved and that was the last thing I wanted. I wasn't concerned for their welfare, just wanting the glory of tearing her apart myself.

"Don't tempt me. I may have to give in."

"Oh how I wish you would."

She laughed and stepped back, dropping to an assault stance, almost like a lion ready to pounce. As I stood there, silent and still as a statue, I could see the fire in her eyes growing. I didn't even have time to react before I felt her teeth digging in to my shoulder. I had been bitten by other vampires; Edward did it to me as a teasing method. This felt nothing like it. It was like a knife had cut a hole into my hard skin, bringing fire and ice with it at the same time. It was so painful that I couldn't move. I screamed out in agony scaring the birds in the trees above me. I was able 

to get her off after she sunk her teeth in a third time, throwing her against a large tree. She screeched and came at me for a second time only to be stopped by Nessy and Jacob.

As Jacob held her against the forest ground, Nessy came running to me. She stood over me and looked so frightened. It was the first time I realized that I was on my knees. I sat down and felt dizzy and nauseated. Suddenly my body felt too heavy and I couldn't hold myself up anymore.

"Mom, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

"I'm not sure. I feel so heavy."

"What happened?!"

"The bitch bit me. She actually bit me. I thought kids in third grade only bit each other in fights." I could hear myself laughing but I wasn't aware at first that it was actually me. My chest was moving but I couldn't feel it. It was as if my entire body was numb.

"We need to get you home to Carlisle. He'll know what to do. Jacob, bring this thing with us."

"Why not just kill her and get it over with?"

"Because she might give us information about her venom."

I heard the woman hiss. "I'm not telling you anything mongrel."

Jacob was about ready to hit her when I saw Nessy halt him with her hand. "She will tell us, one way or the other."

I felt Nessy drag the top half of my body off the ground by my hand and warped her other hand around my waist to hold me up. I willed my feet to push forward, though it was a challenge. I felt so weak and useless. The closer we got to the house, the more worried I got. I knew something was horribly wrong.

I could hear Renesmee laughing and I couldn't fathom what could possibly be funny about anything that was going on right now.

"What the hell's so funny?" Jacob asked as if he could hear my own thoughts.

"Dad is going to love this. First we tell him about the engagement, then Alice and her party planning addiction, and now mom is hurt. If he were human he might have ulcers with grey hair to follow."

That I had to agree with. It seemed like the older Nessy got, the more protective he was over her. He knew Jacob and Nessy were bound to be together but he was hoping it wouldn't be for at least twenty years or so. Ten was much too soon for him and Jacob was not his favorite person at the moment. Yes, Nessy was fully grown. Seventeen was the age we guessed she stopped at. But 

she was still our little girl. I stood by what Jacob and Nessy wanted. I stayed in the cabin while he sulked in the mansion with Carlisle and Esme. Two weeks had already passed since the engagement was announced and he wouldn't even look in my direction. It was as if I had betrayed him. In a sense it made me laugh because he was acting like a petulant child who was told no when he wanted his favorite toy. I did, however, miss him.

As we made our way through the kitchen door, Alice was standing in the way with a worried look on her face. I knew by the expression she wore that she had seen what had happened. Carlisle stood behind her ready to help out in any way he could.

"Are you okay Bells? I saw you get bitten and falling to your knees."

I was too overwhelmed with pain and anger to comprehend the easy question. Nessy explained what she knew and yelled for Emmitt to help Jacob with our prisoner. Carlisle insisted that I go to his room that we all called the laboratory and had me lay down on the bed. I showed him the bites and he held his breath when he examined the red areas. At first I thought it was something he must have always done out of habit. But then I realized the worry in his eyes.

"What creature did this?"

Nessy answered before I was able to open my mouth. "Jacob has her chained up in the back."

I could hear Edward running up the stairs and pushing through Rose, Alice, Nessy and Esme. "What happened?!"

"I'm still examining her Edward."

I felt him take my hand and kiss my forehead. "Bella, honey are you okay?"

"Just in a little pain. My shoulder feels like it's on fire. It almost feels like it did when you turned me; like I'm human."

"What bit you?"

"Another vampire. I caught her wondering around the woods. When I asked her to move on, she attacked me. It happened so damn fast that I didn't even get a chance to put my shield up."

Edward looked from me to Carlisle. He was as confused as I was. "How the hell can a vampire cause Bella this kind of pain from a bite? Other vampires bite each other all the time. Why would this hurt her?"

"I don't know. It must be some kind of poison. I'll look at it and do my best but I need this room clear so I can move around. The entire family doesn't need to be in here for me to analyze a few bite marks."



From the sound of his voice, I knew it wasn't good. He tried to make the 'bite marks' sound as if it were nothing. The vibrations in his voice told another story. He had no idea what was wrong with me and even worse, he didn't know what to do. I'm sure this has never happened before. I just seem to keep re-writing history with all of my incidences. One day, someone will write a book.

This was a little short but I wanted to get the story out there to see what you all thought. Please do not feel shy. Tell me if it's good, bad, etc. I will do my best to update this. I'm thinking, if I have time and enough good reviews, that I might update it tomorrow.
