People and other vampires alike fear me, and for good reason too. God has accepted that an existence such as mine would require me to draw out the pits of hell themselves. If ever I were to perish, I would not be allowed back into the gates of Heaven. I acknowledged that long ago.
You may be wondering what happened to the other nine. After years of fighting and purging the world of its mess, three went crazy and allowed themselves to be sucked into their bodies. They were the worst type of monster, the very ones that created your nightmares. They preyed on the innocent and slept with the evil. Soon they lost themselves completely and the rest of us were called upon to destroy them. Five others decided to settle down and create a family of sorts. That lasted some time until they again went their separate ways. I have not sought them our since.
And the last…
She was where beauty began. A Goddess in herself. Fierce and loyal, she was the only other that could have a chance at defeating me at war.
Isabella Swan, beauty personified
We were the first two created. We trained and fought for many years side by side. Together we were indestructible, undefeatable. The Southern Wars? You may know them as feeding territory battles, but what you don't know is why they began…
Flashback
"They're almost here your majesties" said Caleb, one of our most noble watchmen.
"Thank you, Caleb," said Bella
Bella looked at me, "Are you ready, My Lord?"
"Always, My Queen."
That's when you could hear them, light footfalls in the distance, still at least fifteen miles away. No other normal vampire would be able to hear them yet, let alone smell them. Their rancid clothes from their change still on their bare backs, from the smell caked in blood and other foreign substance that who knows how they got there. \
They were thirsty, that much was certain. Guided by that bloodlust alone, no reason would be seen in their eyes, black with desire. They were here in a foolish attempt to tear us apart.
Bella was wanted everywhere she went. Her beauty was unseen, and the minute one looked upon her, they were lost. She believed that it caused more trouble than it was worth, but that is not why I was so hopelessly in love with her.
We cold-bloods were not known to have souls. Especially the ten that were created for the sole purpose of destroying those who wreaked havoc on the earth. But not Bella. There was no doubt that Bella had a soul.
No one without one could love as fiercely as her.
"30 seconds" Caleb broke me out of my thoughts. Bella looked over at me and smiled letting me know that she was thankful for thinking that she had a soul.
We both stood tall and waited for the last few seconds for the one hundred or so vampires to break through the tree cover.
When they did break through they looked like a rabid pack of animals, venom dripping down their chins and staining their clothing, if they even had any on.
Jealousy surged through me as well as anger and bloodlust when I saw all of the newborns eyeing Bella hungrily. She was after all the main reason why they were here, I meant nothing to them. Bad assumption.
Briefly distracted by Bella's beauty, we lunged forward the massive group. Metallic tearing noises and inhuman screams filled the dusty Texas air. Within ten minutes all of the newborns were dead and in a huge pile which was now a billowing purple haze.
The only ones left were the five leaders of this thoughtless attack on us.
Bella's eyes no longer the beautiful Violet that they normally are, flashed black with an outline of the most intoxicating red.
She was a force to be reckoned with, and these five vampires kneeling before us chose to do just that.
"Who the fuck do you think you are" she said, agitation clear in her bell0like voice.
The five vampires just looked at her in awe, not aware that they were looking at their death.
Unhappy without a response, Bella walked up to the clear leader and caressed his cheek in a loving manner.
"Who are you, my dear?"
"Names Jeffrey, Ma'am" he drawled
"Well Jeffery, are you aware that you and your so called army are about to meet the pits of hell itself?"
Jeffery's eyes flashed with fear for the first time, and he struggled to stand, not aware that I was holding them steady with my mind.
"Please…" Jeffery begged
"My Love?" Bella whispered reverently
"Yes, Darlin'?" I said
"Do you believe that they deserve to live?" Bella said in a steel hard voice, unaware of how much that turned me on.
"No" I said simply
"Well there you have it Jeffery, My Love has spoken. You should have considered the consequences to your actions before you started spouting out newborns like you did. You are lucky none of them turned on you." Bella said.
With that she placed both her hands on either side of Jeffery's head and crouched down to his eye level. To anyone it would look like she was about to kiss him, but I knew better. Slowly, Jeffery's eyes began to darken and his skin began to wrinkle and crack. Bella was burning him from the inside out. His eyes bugged out and his screams echoed against the trees until he fell to the ground in a pile of ashes.
The other four vampires looked at Bella with wide, fearful eyes and begged for their lives to be spared. They did not know that once you attacked her, she held no mercy for your existence. Together we terminated the last four vampires and burned them in a huge pyre that could be seen from miles away.
When that was done Bella turned to me and said,
"Come my Love. Did I ever tell you how sexy you look in battle?"
With that I crashed my lips to her and together we became one on the forest floor.
End Flashback
So yes, the Southern Vampire wars began with armies upon armies coming to try and take Bella away.
After three centuries together, we were separated when both had to go to different ends of the earth to terminate populations that got out of control.
We never saw each other after that. Ever since then I have searched to the ends of the world to find her, but my travels have come up empty.
I can only hope that while I am looking for her, she is looking for me also.
I know that she is not dead, I would have felt that. Our souls are tied together almost as if we are one soul that was stretched out to cover the both of us. In all my time on this earth, I have never met any other with a love as strong, powerful and fierce as ours.
We were the definition of soul mates, and our love itself could destroy the world if we wished.
