BHD here!
Okay, this is the latest story. Jasper x Bella. I personally love the pairing and am hooked.
Basically, Bella and Alice are sisters. They both went to the asylum in their human lives, got changed by the same vampire, who worked in the asylum, and both woke up alone.
They were both in the mental ward because they kept having 'preminitions' and visions, which no one believed. Someone did come after them, but it wasn't James, and the vamp changed them to save them. James finds Bella as a nomad and takes her in to meet his coven.
Neither Alice, nor Bella remember their human lives, but have both had visions of each other and know they are sisters from the extensive research they done.
Bella
A dark haired male with piercing red eyes was running through the corridors as he searched for me and my sister, tearing doors off of hinges in the process. Alice and I were running away as fast as we could. It kept ending the same way. Someone biting our throats and fire taking over.
"Bella!" Alice called desperately, shaking my shoulders. Tears were falling down her pale face. "Bella! I saw it too! We have to run!" She screamed and gripped my hand tightly before sprinting through the hallways.
I wanted some good memories at a time like this. Alice and I were only 17. Just turned 17 the other day. I wanted to remember our mother. Our father. But the drugs that the people here pumped into our system daily took its toll. Our memories began to fade away.
The last thing I remember of our mother and father, makes me hate them. They were holding us down while two men hit our heads and knocked us out. Then we woke up here. In the asylum. A 'safe' place. For people like 'us', crazy people.
We weren't crazy. We were young, and scared. The visions kept coming and as they did, the drugs did too. No one would believe us.
Alice was on her own. A blonde male checking her pulse. There wasn't one.
"Bella!" Alice cried. I stopped and fell to the ground, wrapping my arms around myslef tightly. Alice was going to die? Then I was too. She was the only person I had left now. The only person that cared and loved me.
"Bella, get up! Please get up! They're coming! Get up!" She screamed, choking on her sobs.
"Alice.." I whispered. She fell to her knees and wrapped her arms around my shaking frame. We were small for our age. 5'2 and skinny. Even more so because we hardly ate here. They just gave us pills and water. When we refused they would hit us, knock us out and inject it. But whats to be expected from a place like this?
"Bella, it's going to be fine." She tried to assure me.
"We both know it's not." I told her, looking her dead in the eye shaking my head slightly. It was painful, almost. Alice was the happy, go lucky one.
After each torture these people put us through, everything you could imagine, Alice would be holding me together and sobbing into my hair. If Alice was going to die, I was too.
"Try, for me." She said. A spark in her green eyes. Her eyes were so sad. So tortured.
I nodded my head as I got to my feet. "Lets go." I said. She intwined her hand with mine once again and kissed it. I did the same to hers before we took off at a full sprint.
Doors were locked, and the ones that weren't, had dead bodies. All were bleeding in various places. I opened one door and a mans head greeted us, his body on the other side of the room.
I recognized the head. This man had put us through so much. He'd order people to do horrible things to both Alice and I and sit back and watch. If we didn't listen, we got cut with knives, or they'd stomp on our stomachs, bruising and breaking already frail bones.
To be honest, I was glad the sick fucker was gone.
Alice screamed and wrapped her thin arms around me.
"It's all we have left, Alice." I said. I kicked the head out the door and down the hallway and pushed Alice into the room. I went to leave to go find whoever was scaring us and rip them to shreds.
"Bella.." Alice whimpered, she pulled me into the room and shut the door. I sat in the corner and pulled my knees to my chest and wrapped my arms around them. Alice out her head on my shoulder in the same position.
"I love you, you know." She told me.
"Alice, you're not going to die." I told her sternly.
"We both saw it." She tried to laugh. I pulled one of my arms from my legs and wrapped it around her shoulders.
"We'll make it. We've gone through so much here, Ali. We're strong, we'll make it."
"Who are you trying to convince? You or me?" She asked with a small smile. I smiled back.
"I don't have many memories, but I remember one time, we we're playing in the backyard. You pushed me on the swing before hopping on the other one, and we swung to see who was the highest. We were having so much fun, then the swing set fell over. I hurt myself, sprained my wrist. Mom didn't help me, neither did dad, it was you.
"You wrapped my wrist with a bandage cause you didn't know what to do. We were, what, 5?" She laughed. "Then you piggy backed me to the neighbours and they put a brace on it. Remember?" She smiled.
I wanted to remember. But I couldn't. I shook my head. "Sorry." I whispered.
"It's okay. Thats one of my favourite memories, you know." She said, and it made me want to remember it even more.
There was loud crashes down the hall, I could here tearing metal. The doors being ripped off of their hinges. The sound grew closer and closer. Then it was our door.
A dark haired man with red eyes was looking at us. "Bella!" Alice screamed, she kept screaming at the man. I rocked her back and forth while glaring at him, we were going to die.
"I'm sorry." The man whispered. Before I could blink he was in front of me, kneeled down. He moved my long, brown hair back exposing my throat. I tried to move but I couldn't. He was ice cold, and like stone.
"Let go of her!" Alice screamed and hit him. I heard a snap. Then I felt teeth in my throat and screamed myself. The burning, something foreign pumping through my system, trying to kill me.
"What did you do?" Alice screamed.
"I'm saving you!" He snapped back.
"You're killing my sister!" She screamed at him. Then her screams became like mine when he bit me. I tried to force a vision, maybe see the outcome. But I couldn't. The pain became to much for my mind, and I could no longer keep my eyes open. I fell into blackness, but the pain was still everywhere.
I could hear Alice still screaming, and I would occasionally whimper.
"We have to get you girls out of here. I am so sorry for this. But someone wanted to hurt you both. And I couldn't let that happen." He whispered, but I could hear him well. I kept drifting in and out of the state, I could hear, but couldn't open my eyes.
"Alice, try be quiet." He whispered. She screamed in response. "Please, Bella is fine. You need to be quiet if you want to live."
We weren't going to live. We were going to die. Fire was licking at my insides, you can't call that living.
"I'm leaving you here, you'll be safe. I will come back once he is gone. If I don't.. Try not to worry. Alice is at the other end of the forest, I have to split you up." He told me. I didn't even know Alice was gone. I heard his almost silent footsteps leave.
I lost count how long it had been. I had no memory of what happened. The fire was at my heart now, trying to swallow it. I wanted it to be swallowed by the fire, but not this slow. My heart beat rapidly, as if making a melody. Telling the world goodbye.
Then it stopped. I was.. Dead. I opened my eyes and saw the tree tops, the grey skies. It was raining. I could smell animals. I didn't know what it was.
"You are a vampire, Bella. This is my coven. We want to be you're family now." The blonde male said pointing toward a dark haired male with dread locks and dark skin. A woman stood next to him, she had flaming red hair that fell in elegant curls. They all had red eyes. "I am James, the red head is my mate, Victoria," She smiled at me. "And this is Laurent." He smiled too and I could see myself liking these people.
"Vampire, huh?" I asked no one. I could smell water. I ran to it. It smelled nice. But I wouldn't drink it. I looked into my reflection.
I had blood red eyes, redder than the other vampires that I would soon be joining. My hair was at the bottom of my shoulder blades. It was a light brown and black underneath. Odd. It was pin straight, I noted as I ran my fingers through it. I looked at the rest of my body.
I was small. Petite. Dressed in dark blue shirt that came to mid thigh and that was all. I poked my ribs with a small finger. It was hard. Like rocks.
"We are ice cold, and like granite, it's like our bodies defense mechanism. We are extremely fast and strong." He said smiling. He ran, and if I had been human, I would have only seen a blur. He picked up a tree root that was poking out of the earth and yanked it upward, the tree lift the ground and James held it above his head. "And we got ripped off." Victoria laughed. She stepped into the sun, it was like she was covered in diamonds. "We sparkle. But I suppose it's better than being fried."
Interesting. How could I keep seeing this anyway? I started to walk in the forest. What did we eat? I kept thinking about it.
"We drink blood, Bella. Human blood." Laurent told me gently. "This is why our eyes are red. Your eyes are more red because you were only just changed, a newborn."
A newborn must be a new vampire. I sprinted and jumped up into a tree branch, I kept jumping from branch to branch. I only just noticed a burn in the back of my throat. What was that? I out my hand to my throat in hopes of easing it, but I couldn't. I continued jumping from the branches in hopes of coming across a human.
After 10 minutes, I could hear a faint thumping. A heartbeat. It had to be maybe a mile away. I smiled and ran toward it. It was a man on his own. He had dark blonde hair. He smelled delicious. I jumped from my tree gracefully. Must be a vampire thing.
"Excuse me?" I whispered and caught the males attention. I could feel his emotions. He was lustful, confused and in awe. How could I feel all that?
"What are you doing here, miss?" He asked in a fake husky voice. I laughed and it sounded musical.
"To be honest, I don't know." I said and walked toward him. "But, you're in the wrong place at the wrong time." I said. He was instantly fearful. I placed my hand on his throat, the other on his shoulder, pulled him to me and bit down on his jugular. He screamed, but his screams died down th more I drank.
Eventually, the blood all left his system and the burn in my throat was normal again. I picked up his body and threw it over my shoulder. There were some carnivore animals around here. It was big and stood on two legs like me. But he was huge, towering over me, bearing it's teeth and roaring. I dropped the body and ran away. Whatever that thing was tucked into the body, ripping it apart.
It had been two days since I was on my own. I was going to meet James, Laurent and Victoria today. In this clearing. I lay in the middle of it and put my arms behind my head. I smelt them before I saw them.
"Well, took you three long enough." I said, still in the same position.
"Excuse me?" I heard James gruff voice. I smiled and stood up. They looked at me and gasped.
"Hey. I'm apparantly Bella. Your newest member. I saw it." I stated proudly. Victoria looked at me warily.
"You saw it?" She asked.
"Yep. You're Victoria, you're Laurent, and you James, are the leader of this coven. Victoria is your mate." I said.
"I guess you don't need introductions. Welcome to our family, Bella." James said with a smile. I looked toward Victoria. She smiled and ran at me, tackling me into a hug. James growled at her.
"You know better than to run at a newborn." He hissed. Victoria looked sheepish and got off of me.
"It's okay. We're going to be good friends." I said tapping my head. She beamed a smile. James and Laurent laughed.
"So, care to explain the vampire life to me?" I asked.
"Sure, then we take you shopping, you can't walk around in a shirt all day. And you're too small for any of my clothes." Victoria said, but she wrapped her fur shawl around me anyway.
"Thank you." I smiled.
"Anytime honey. So, you're a little psychic, huh?" She laughed a musical laugh. I smiled and nodded.
"I guess so." I whispered.
"Do you remember your human life?" Laurent asked me.
"I want to. I feel it was important. But I can't. I can only see the future, not the past." I laughed lightly.
"Well, lets follow your scent to where you came from. It hasn't rained, it will be faint. But your newborn skills should be sharper than ours. Victoria is also a good tracker. It's a trade secret though." James smiled. I smiled back and nodded, taking off in the direction I came from, my new family just behind me.
What do you think? Please review, I really like this story.
