Preface:
I glanced towards the forest's outline, seeing a figure immerging from the trees. I was stood still, frozen in fear. My instincts were yelling at me to run, but my body didn't comprehend the message. I watched, helpless, as Victoria stalked towards me.
She was grinning like a Cheshire cat, her vivid red hair, blowing wildly in the wind. Her was crouched, very low to the ground but still gave off the feel of intimidation. She snarled at me and suddenly, she was right behind me, holding me by my hair.
"It's your fault, all your fault. Now you must repay what you have taken," she hissed. I could feel her breath on my neck, giving me goose-bumps. Then, there was the slight tingle sensation of her teeth on my throat, before the pain of her biting down.
I screamed as I bolted up in my bed. My hair was matted, from my endless tossing and turning. My face was entirely covered in a thick sheet of sweat. I searched around my small room, desperate for my comfort, my angel.
After a few moments of scanning, I gave up, exhausted. I had come up empty handed and I was worried where Edward could be. I was surprised really; surely with my screaming Edward would have woken me up, or even Charlie for that matter.
Instead, my room was bare and I could hear the light snoring from Charlie's room. I panicked. Was something wrong? Where did Edward go? It is to do with the family? Oh god, I hope they're okay. Then, light a lightening bolt, my mind flashed with the unfortunate truth.
He left me. Here, on my own. He was gone and so was his family.
I broke down on my bed, crying from the heartache. The Cullen's were my family, I cared about them but they left. What kind of a family would do that? I trusted them with all my heart, but they just used me. I was merely their human pet, someone to annoy and keep them entertained.
Well, I won't make that mistake again. They left me behind; all I ever wanted was to spend eternity with Edward. But no, that was ever going to happen because he never loved me. If I ever see him again, I swear I will torture him. I might miss them, but they aren't my entire life. I can move on. I will move on.
So, with that in my head, I settled back down on the sheets. I closed my eyes, hoping for a peaceful rest and, as if God was suddenly on my side, it came. Through the night, I did not stir once and for that I was grateful. This was definitely the markings for a new life and I was all too ready for it.
Of course, lost in my epiphany, I had forgotten once important factor.
Sure, they might have disappeared but they still left behind something that I really should have considered, in my master plan…A killer, an enemy, a vampire; Victoria.
