James was far more cunning then he first let on. Though the game started with Alice, she left much to be desired but Isabella opened up a plethora of possibilities. Bella would make for an interesting addition to his coven if all went as planned.

Easily Persuaded

Prologue

Bella wallowed in despair on the forest floor, praying to wake up from the nightmare that her life had become. She'd give anything to be back in the warm Phoenix sun with her flighty mother, for she'd rather have never loved at all then to face the crushing weight of an eternity of heartache alone. Edward had mention something about the human mind being a sieve, but Bella couldn't imagine ever forgetting this pain, this moment where the pieces of her heart were embedded in the bark of the surrounding trees. She had alienated almost everyone who loved her, for the love of people who left her when things got to complicated, alone with unexplainable secrets and pain. The words James spoke to her that day in the studio echoed through the trees, "Edward will never make you his equal, you will be too strong for him, a threat to his carefully constructed classical tragedy. He will leave you alone and broken for the wolves to feed on."
