B. POV

Rejected Hearts

Chapter 1

I crept closer and closer to the mountain lion as my muscles tensed naturally. A low guttural growl escaped my lips as I sprung onto the lion's neck, snapping it instantly on impact. Dribbles of blood dripped slowly down my cheek, taunting and mocking me. Gracefully, I swept my hand across my cheek to wiping away any former existence of the blood. My eyes close gently and visions of him flash before my eyes. I know that everybody would think that I'm pissed at him but truthfully I don't think I could ever be, no matter what he did. If he didn't leave me I would have never discovered my true talent, singing, and found a coven of my own. It's true, I'm officially Bella Williams (A/N: Yes, I used Hayley William's last name but she's amazing so whatever) and lead singer of our band Rejected Hearts. I took after Carlisle's example and became a vegetarian vampire after my transformation. I can still remember that fateful day in my head, clear as crystal……

**Flashback! **

The leaves were crunching underneath my6 feet as I stumbled through the twists and turns of the forest. In the 5 months that he left me I've think I've literally gone insane. Every time a memory of him would occur it would be like a huge hole was being punched and ripped open in my stomach. Jake was a good friend until he left me. I know it's because I'm not good enough for anybody, I truthfully shouldn't be living anymore. I wouldn't break my promise to him though, I would keep myself safe. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't notice I was in our meadow. All the memories I've been trying to keep submerged came rushing up to the surface. I slowly crawled to my knees and placed my hands on the meadow's floor as if trying to soak in the good times before all hell broke loose. My eyes closed as I sat here, kneeled on the meadow floor.

"Well, well, if it isn't Miss Bella," a familiar voice snarled.

My eyes snapped open to see Victoria standing before. My eyes widened in fear as I stuttered "Vic…Victoria?"

She threw back her head in laughter, obviously entertained by my fear. "Now, I wouldn't hurt you child, would I," she smirked, her teeth glinting in the fading sunlight. Not trusting my voice I just shook my head. "Good, so how does it feel to be all alone?" My head snapped up instantly as she spoke those very words. How did she even know that he left? Confusion must have been very clear on my face because she answered my internal question. "You look confused, yes I know your precious Edward left you alone, crumpled in the forest," she spoke slowly. Pain teared through every cell in my body as she mentioned his name. She was oblivious to my reaction through because she continued on and kneeled down so we were face to face. "It's not so easy is it? Losing the one you love most, but you see the difference between you and I is that James actually loved me. I wasn't some little toy for him," she said, her voice filled with hatred. My body seemed to curl in on myself as she spoke the truth that I had finally accepted; I was only a toy, useless to the Cullens. "Aww, poor little Isabella, all sad because Edward left her," she said as turned her glare to me. "You see, I came here planning on killing you but now I see your pain I'm going to give you a must worse punishment."

Fear and dread flowed through me as I thought of the worst punishment, even worse that death, eternity, without Edward. Tears started pouring out of my eyes as I concluded on what Victoria had planned for me. "Please, anything but that, just kill me, I can't live an eternity without him," I pleaded with her, knowing it was useless. She just smiled at my pathetic attempts.

"Sorry but this is going to be hell for you and me both, any last words," she said as she got down into a crouch.

There were only three words that need to be said. "I love you Edward," I whispered as Victoria jumped on me, her teeth biting into my neck. The fire was burning through my whole body when I heard howls sounding in the distance.

"Bella!," somebody screamed as I was dropped off into a world of blackness.

**End Flashback**

I shuddered as the dreadful memory coursed through my mind. That was 100 years ago though and now I have my own coven of nine. There is Elizabeth and Ben, our "parents". Both Elizabeth and Ben don't have any extra powers and I would trust them with my life. Next to the coven was Jill, she was 19 when she was changed by a nomadic vampire back in 1980. Jill has golden hair that flows to her back and a heart shaped face. Jill's boyfriend, Luke, is 20 and joined shortly after Jill. He was dirty brown hair and a body that any girl would kill for. Luckily for Jill he only has eyes for her though. After Jill and Luke joined we meet Ashley and Stefan (A/N: Before anybody says something, yes I am using the name Stefan from Vampire Diaries) who we all seemed to connect with all most instantly. Ashley is a petite, almost pixie like, girl with black hair that went to her shoulders, she almost reminded me of Alice. Stefan was the brooding type with wide shoulders and dark brown hair. Ashley could see the future and past while Stefan has the ability to see the relationships between people. After Stefan and Ashley came into our coven, we met Marie and Blake while hunting. Marie and Blake had been traveling around the world together for a great number of years looking for us because apparently in the vampire world we were greatly know. I mean who has as many in a coven as the Cullen's? Us. Blake and Marie were truly an odd couple; they were so close to each other at time you would almost think they are telepathic. Other than the freaky telepathic act they do, Blake and Marie have no other powers. As for me, I'm a rather unique vampire to say the least. My power is a "sponge" and as long as I have physical contact with the vampire I absorb their power. So far I have eleven powers and hopefully more to come. After my transformation I met Elizabeth and Ben while dry sobbing on the forest floor. After 80 years everyone had joined our coven discovered that we all had really good musical talents. I was really good at singing, while Ashley and Marie both sing back up, Stefan plays guitar, and Blake is a fantastic drummer. Soon after that we made up our band Rejected Hearts and here we are today. Tonight we have a big concert up in Philly but that's nothing new for us, is it?

Author's Note!

To all my readers I'm so sorry that the 1st chapter only came now! I've had it finished for a while but my computer crashed & couldn't put it on. Then all this drama happened with one of the girls I considered to be a good friend. Other than that I will try to get the next chapter but can't make any promises since we are picking classes and etc. for high school all this month. Joy.
