Living in Seattle was great. I had a great start to a career and my life seemed to be moving along flawlessly. That is until one day a redheaded wonder came to see me. Victoria was her name and she wanted to add to her family. Maternal instincts only go so far when you have no children, you see. And that's where I came in. With my hair as naturally vibrant red as Victoria's I was a perfect match for a supposed child.
And that was where my life ended. I had to stay indoors on the sunny days, what few of them Seattle has, and I had to quit my job and start feeding. Not on humans though, Victoria and her mate James aren't like that. It's an animal only diet. Well animal blood only diet.
But today I was sitting in a park. It was dark as the sun had been down for a while and I was imagining what Central Park might look like right now. Getting close to its early morning rays probably. It would look gorgeous just before the hustle and bustle of the morning commute. And that was when I heard it, four maybe five miles away. Screaming. And not just any screaming, this was Victoria. She didn't scream at anything. She was a badass vampire that was a hunter, not the hunted.
I ran. Images blurred together as I focused my senses. I needed to know what was hurting my vampire equivalent of a mother. When I came to a stop on the corner of Pike and Pine I had to gasp, which felt empty even with the meaning of the burning body of my vamp mother lying before me. And there, not far off was an image I knew all too well. Edward Cullen. We'd met a couple of times, they were like our cousins after all. But in the moonlight I could see the now blood red of his eyes. Edward had turned and it was my mother they'd harmed. Forget maternal instinct, but when you kill someone's mother you're going to die.
But he ran. And I'd known all too well how fast he was. There was no saving Victoria now but I would get my revenge, eventually.
A/N: Sorry but I started this story over. It wasn't going where it was supposed to in the last version and ended up a lot more mushy when this story is supposed to be about a hunter basically. Please review! I like hearing your comments and it helps me update faster!
