Chapter Two

As soon as I turn my back for a moment they are gone, all of them...I stand alone staring at the white card in my hands. It sounds naive of me but I have no idea where I am or how to go about traveling to Forks to seek out the Cullen coven but I know that I can't remain here alone. I sigh and decide to make my way somehow. The sun is setting as I walk to the edge of the forest, the only home I have ever known. I take a deep breath as I walk out of the trees. I blink as I see cars driving past me. The sights, the sounds and the smells are overwhelming. I walk slowly staring at all that I see and a sudden smell makes me hiss. It is sweet and my throat aches, I know that smell its fresh blood. I haven't had any for days and this blood seems different. I have only drained animals but this smell is making my mouth water. It's so much stronger, I sniff and sigh. Then I spot the source, a man walks by me eyeing me curiously as he passes. He smiles at me and I feel myself move. I don't think but push him against the nearest building and bite him hard. I ignore his cries and start to hum as I drink long and deep. My singing seems to calm him but I take care not to drain him. I sigh pulling back to wipe the blood from my lips then I hear a voice behind me, "Fool you would do that here in the open?" I hiss and turn around to see an older lady staring at me in distaste, her fangs are out and I recognize her as a full blood. I shrug at her and she rolls her eyes grabbing me by the arm. I don't fight but walk with her. She moves quickly and I see a nightclub in front of us called Fangtasia. I stare as she pushes me through the door. It is empty right now and she stares at me. "So a newborn are you? Wait you have a smell." She leans closer sniffing me then gives me an evil smile. "A half breed? And a pretty one at that."

"Pam" a voice booms across the room and she freezes. "What did you bring me?"

She hisses under her breath, "always ruining things." She stares at me and sighs, "I was going to have some fun with you myself but now lucky girl you will get Eric instead." At my shocked expression she laughs, "And I doubt he will only bite you." She eyes me up and down with a gleam in her eyes, "I know I would have to touch that flesh of yours." She calls loudly over her shoulder, "Eric, I found this half breed drinking in the parking lot. Surely you are not interested."

Suddenly I see a blur come across the room and I am against the wall with a tall blond man holding me by the neck. He leans down sniffing me then smirking. "Oh Pam you always do find the most enticing little specimens. This one is mine." I bite my lip hard making it bleed in my nervousness and his eyes light up. I scream as he sucks on it hard then groans, "as sweet as you look. Come." He takes my arm dragging me across the club to a private room. I cry out as he pushes me down hard in the first chair inside the door then kneels down between my legs with his hands clamped down on my thighs. "I have not heard that there were any half breeds in these parts so my dear tell me your story starting with your name."

I stammer in my fear and his hands on my thighs are digging in making me squirm. "My name is Marie and I have been living in the forest."

Eric stares at me his eyes are gleaming and he is licking his lips as if he can still taste my blood there. I cringe as he moves closer. "Marie? Well sweet Marie, how are you alone then? I can tell by the state of your clothing you have been wandering a while."

"My coven was found and killed today. I am alone and traveling." I jump as he leans down sniffing between my breasts. "Please stop."

He does not move back but turns his head to eye me, "why are you so timid? Have you never been around any others?"

"No sir, I have not been but I could not stay in the forest alone."

"Do not call me sir, you may call me Eric." He leans back but doesn't remove his hands from my thighs. "Where are you traveling?" In my nervousness I bite my lip again and his eyes darken. "You will want to stop doing that, your blood is like honey and I want more."

"Eric, please. I will tell you whatever you want. I am traveling to Forks; I was told there was another like me there."

Eric nods and stares at me then he moves his hands slowly up my thighs making me tingle in the strangest way. "That is a considerate distance from here but something tells me that you don't know that. You are quite innocent to the world aren't you?" I nod and his laugh is loud. It has an evilness to it that makes me cringe in fear. "And there is no one to miss you. Oh sweet Marie, the fun I shall have with you."

I stare at him and beg, "Eric please don't hurt me."

He moves his hands up to cup my breasts suddenly making me fall back against the chair trying to escape. "Marie it will only hurt if you resist me. Let me show you." Suddenly his lips are mine kissing me hard and then he is again sucking on my lower lip. I cry out as he bites it hard. His hands grope my breasts hard. "You might even like it."

I bring my hands up trying to push him away scared and whimpering, "No please not like this."

His head snaps back and his eyes are a glowing dark rage at me. I hear him hiss at me, "I know you are innocent Marie but if you anger me you will have no one to blame but yourself for the pain." Then I scream as he picks me up flipping me onto his back and he speeds out of the room into a stairway taking me down the stairs. I slap at him and as we come into the basement he hisses at me and suddenly I am against a hard concrete wall as he stares at me. "Stop fighting me, it will hurt you more this way." I stare at him and then start to cry, I feel myself wanting to bite my lips so I push my lips together humming softly instead. At the soft melody coming from my lips Eric's face changes. I keep humming softly as he stares at me and then whispers to me, "let me help you. You will need money to make it all the way to Forks." He continues to touch me softly so different from seconds ago as the notes of my voices continue around him then I cough and the humming stops, so does his change. He slams me into the wall again and hisses at me, "What the hell was that? Are you trying to bewitch me?"

I shake my head and try to speak, "Eric no..."

I am cut off by his hard kisses on my lips as his hands rip off my clothes. "You are trying to bewitch me to spare you this but I want you and I will have you. Remember what I said you will be hurt if you fight me." I nod to him with tears in my eyes as he pulls off the tatters of my clothes leaving me naked before him. I try to cover myself but I hear him hiss at my actions so I quickly drop my arms to my sides as he stares at me. He picks me up again and this time when he puts me over his shoulder he slaps my bottom hard making me cry out but in a weird way it excites me too. Then he moves to another corner of the room that I did not see before. There is a huge bed where he dumps me. His eyes glare at me as he takes my hands pulling at a rope tied to the headboard. I don't bother fighting him, I can't stop him. I know he is too strong and the thought of the pain he can inflict on me makes me lie still as I can. He nods then after my hands are secure he starts to run his hands up and down my body. Despite myself I moan at his touch. It is making me writhe and feel the strangest sensations. Parts of my body I have never explored are now suddenly alive and I feel a warm rush between my legs. Eric stops and sniffs the air then smirks down at me as he pushes my legs wide open as I realize that I am wet there now. That was the warmth I felt. My mind rushes at that thought and before I can process that his fingers come to trail up my thigh softly moving slowly and panic sets in. As they move higher and higher I bite my lips knowing where he is headed. He touches my core for the first time and my whole body responds with a hard shudder leaving me breathless. His laughter is all I hear as I close my eyes trying to collect myself but then he rests his palm hard against my core making me jump. I can feel a puddle of warmth under me as he stares down at me. I want to speak but I feel lost. Then he darts his fingers into me there, the core of me where I have never even touched myself and I cry out. The feelings are overwhelming and my body is shaking again.

I close my eyes breathing hard and try to bring my arms down to push him away to stop this but the rope holds me tight. My thighs are pushed apart and I feel his hands slam them down to the bed as a blinding pain sears through me making me scream. I open my eyes as the tears flood and realize he is now buried deep inside me. My body starts to shudder making me tense painfully around him. I can feel myself stretching painfully as I beg him to stop but he doesn't answer me. I feel him begin to move slowly deep inside me. My legs are sweating and shaking as he groans pushing deeper into me. Then the thrusts start to change, the pain begins to ebb away. As he slows each thrust I moan until he hits my walls hard. The mix of pain and pleasure is confusing me so. I don't want to enjoy this but the exquisite feeling of him as he slides out makes me shudder then he slides into me hitting that spot making me cry out in pain. Suddenly the pace changes and he begins to pound into me so hard I feel the bed shaking. I have lost control of my body as he continues on and on, I feel myself pulsating hard and his words, "Marie let go." I relax and let myself explode around him over and over. Hours pass as he continues to pound into me, I am exhausted yet he continues on and on. Will it never end? Then suddenly I hear voices behind me, Eric swears at them then turns back to me. I did not think it possible but he moves harder, faster and deeper inside me. I am hoarse from screaming each time my body exploded and I can only whimper as I feel him explode this time deep inside me. As he releases he leans down and bites my neck hard. I can't scream and I have no strength to fight as he drinks. Then he vanishes. I let my eyes close in relief.

I am startled hours later by voices coming near. I can't cover up and then suddenly a figure appears in the room. I didn't realize till I hear his gasp that I am laying in a pool of blood, my own between my legs. He moves to the bed staring at me so I can just see him in the shadows. He pushes a lock of hair out of his face as he leans over me, "Are you still alive?"
