It was around midnight in the dreary town of Forks. The mystery man by the name of James came back for his victim. He knew exactly where he was going. Straight to her house. He found her window and scaled up the wall
Bella sat in her room staring out at the moon. She always loved the way it glowed against the midnight blue sky. She was so focused on the moon, that she didn't notice the sound of James creeping up her wall. She noticed when he blocked her view. Before she could react he put his hand over her mouth.
"I'm going to move my hand, if you scream I'll make killing you slow and painful." He said. He removed his hand slowly; Bella was too scared to scream. He slowly made his way into her room. He pulled out some rope and tied it around Bella. He put a series of intense knots to make escape impossible. He put her over his shoulder and skillfully jumped landing on the balls of his feet. If any one was watching they would have assumed nothing of it.
James then sprinted towards the nearby forest with Bella on his back. Bella was uncertain about the current situation she was scared for her life and she was just confused. She had no idea what was happening. James continued to run until he reached the middle of the forest. He set Bella down on a patch of uneven grass. He then untied all of the knots around her body. She sat up slightly and watched as James pull out more items. He pulled out a jeweled dagger, a couple bottles and a shovel.
He turned back to Bella with the dagger in hand. The closer he got the faster Bella's heart beat. He raised dagger to level it with her neck, right above her main vein. She knew this was the end but saying it might make things worse. She looked up at him; silently asking him not to kill her.
'How can I, she's so innocent. I… I couldn't live with myself if she dies. But I must, to make the Queen happy. But at the same time I can't.' He debated with himself. He moved the dagger away from her neck.
"Run, Leave! I can't do this. Go before I change my decision" He demanded. Bella wanted to run and leave this place but her feet weren't co-operating. She stumbled away and started to run slowly. She picked her pace, the trees passed by quickly.
The further she went the creepier the trees looked. Some had faces when she looked closely. It was deadly silent as she ran; the only sound to be heard was the sounds of her steps. She grew tired and slowed her pace. It made the surrounding forest creepier then it already was. An eerie howl echoed through the woods. Bella screamed in fright. She stopped walking, trying to decide which way to go.
'Going east might result in ending up back here, but going West seems better and less scary.' She thought to herself. She went in the western direction. Slowly the trees seemed to be farther and farther apart. After another mile of walking a house was coming into view.
'What the hell is a house doing in the middle of no where' She thought as she approached the house. She was a few miles away and she noticed how big the house was. It was more of a mansion. She walked up the steps and knocked on the door. She waited and knocked again, still no response. She reached for the door knob and twisted it, luckily it opened. She cautiously stepped inside, it was dark and everything was dusty. It seemed like no one had been in the house in years. She ended up falling asleep on the couch.
---Back to James—
He went back to the Queen. But he did not go empty handed. He walked into the thrown room and waited for the queen to acknowledge that he was there. She turned to him slowly. She noticed that he came back but not with the vile of blood.
"Why do you return without what I wanted?" She sneered.
"I found something even better" he said as he signaled for his men to bring in the new gift. Two burly men came into the room carrying an oval shaped object. They unwrapped it and held it up for her to see. It was a beautiful mirror with an elegant golden mirror
"This my queen, is a mystic mirror. Ask anything of it and it shall be yours but be warned there are consequences" he said seriously
"What kind of consequences" Tanya asked curiously. James smirked at her question
"I'm not sure my Queen" He replied. He knew what could happen but he didn't like her enough to tell her. Only he knew that using the effects of using the mirror and the side effects.
"Okay then" she said
"The only thing you have to say before I go is that you have to be careful how you put things when you request it from the mirror" he said
He then walked out of the room, leaving the Queen to test out the magic mirror. To be honest she was curious to say the least. The one thin she wanted more then anything it was to be eternally youthful. She approached the mirror with caution, like she was expecting an animal to jump out at her if she moved too fast.
She stopped a few inches from the mirror. She was about to say something to the mirror but remembered what James told her. After a moment of thought, she decided on what to ask.
"okay mirror, I want a new car" she said, there was no response for a second and a white mask appeared. It looked displeased with her.
"I'm sorry mistress, I must confess you seem distressed. I'm happy to imply that I'm a very helpful guy" it said, the queen was shocked no one had ever told her she was wrong. But she had to comply if she wanted anything from this mirror.
"fine. How about this – mirror, mirror on the wall who is the fairest one of all." She said. The glass fogged before the mask showed up again.
"I'm sorry my Queen but it seems that little Isabella is the fairest one of them all." The mirror said. Tanya was furious, of all the people it was her step daughter from her last husband Charlie.
"mirror, mirror on the wall how can I be the fairest of them all." She asked
" I won't, I will, all you must do is kill" the mirror said. She felt a sharp pain in her neck. She reached up to rub her neck and was surprised to feel a liquid pooling there. She looked at her hand and screamed when she saw blood dripping from her fingers. The pain spread, it was coursing through her veins. She screamed as the pain spread. The last thing she heard was a evil laugh from the mirror and then darkness consumed her.
---Back to Bella—
The next morning she woke up felling refreshed and happy. She toured the house and found that he liked the room on the top floor best. She also found some cleaning products. She then spent a portion of the day cleaning the house, she had no idea why but it just felt like the right thing to do. Even some of the kind animals came and helped out. 'There just so cute and helpful' she thought as she worked with the animals.
Later a few hours before the sun was going to set, Bella decided it was a good idea to go look for food. She found a decent sized basket and scurried off to the little forest in the backyard. She took her time finding food, she admired the beauty of the surrounding nature. She couldn't shake off the feeling she was being watched. So she continued scourging, she made her way back as the sun was going down.
She went back into the house. She put down the basket in the kitchen and opened the cupboards. She put away the items and set up some things for her dinner. She ate in silence. She cleaned up the dishes and put them on the drying wrack.
She went into the reading room on the second floor. It was one of the rooms facing the forest and had the most amazing view of it. She went over to the bookcase and read over some of the titles on the spine. She finally found a book she liked, Pride and Prejudice. She sat on the couch reading for hours. She stopped when she saw the sky out side; it was pitch black and cloudy. She got dressed in some clothes she found and walked back to 'her' room. She was asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
…… during the night….
The front door opened and seven of them walked in. At first glance you would call them gorgeous and inhumanly beautiful. Because that's what they were inhuman- not human in a way, they were vampires. A family …… well coven that is sorta like a family. The 'father' of this coven; Carlisle, was tall, pale as usual, had honey blond hair and the signature golden eyes that came with being a vampire. The mother figure of this coven; Esme, was shorter then her mate, had brown wavy hair that reached a little past her shoulder and golden eyes. Their 'children' were Edward, Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper and Alice.
Back to what I was getting at, to them the house smelt different; a little more fruity and flowery. The scent was all over the place from the kitchen up to the top floor.
"Do you hear that" Jasper said, everyone froze to hear what he was talking about. They heard the steady sounds of a heartbeat . It went thump thump……. thump thump…… thump. And so on and so on. They were curious and wondered what a human was doing in their home.
"I think we should split up and find the source" Carlisle said
"if I find it could I have it" Edward said eagerly. He wanted it bad but sadly Carlisle shook his head no. They split up into pairs, Edward went on his own.
Twenty minutes later, Emmett and Alice were walking around the third floor. They found the source of the heartbeats it was in Edwards room, the scent was ten times stronger then before.
Alice gasped as a vision came, she was definitely shocked at what she saw.
"Emmett open the door and be quiet she won't bite" she said pushing him towards the door.
"why me" he whined but opened the door. He walked in and covered his mouth muffling his scream.
Inside was definitely a human, a human girl that was not suppose to be here.
Alice walked over to the girl and gently shook her shoulder, the girl groaned and rolled over muttering-
" five more minutes" she mumbled. Alice shook her harder this time. She sat up slowly, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. She slowly opened her eyes looked at the two other people and
"Hi, I'm Alice Cullen and the big guy over there is Emmett, whats your name?" she said
"Isabella Swan, but you can call me Bella" she said timidly.
" How did you end up in here?" Alice asked the girl.
"I was running from him, like he said to and I ended up finding this house and have been here ever since" Bella said
"running from who?" Emmett asked from where he stood.
"I don't know, he just said to run before he changes his mind." Bella said staring at the wall.
" how did you run all the way here, the closet town is 6 and a half miles away"Emmett said
"I have no idea, I didn't want to die and he said to run so I ran and ran." She said
" mmkay"Alice said
- okay that is the end of the far Bella has just met Alice and Emmett, she doesn't know about the rest of the Cullens but she'll meet them later.
