Edward returned that night in my bedroom.
"Hi" Edward said with a crooked smile "Edward!" I replied breathlessly
Edward pulled me towards him and crushed his cool lips against mine. All those millions of questions were forgotten about and my mind went blank.
" Bella, I need to tell you something," Edward finally said when he had pulled himself away from me.
" What? What is it?"
"Um...well that girl, the child, she was called Suzie…she didn't die – she was turned," Edward said, shamefaced.
" Well, that's great! Becoming a vampire has got to be better than death" Edward looked confused
" And besides, now she can be with you guys, she can be an official Cullen! "
"No Bella, you don't understand. When Suzie was turned she lost her memory, so the newborn vampires – Rose and Judith – led her to believe things that weren't true.. Bella?"
"Yes?" I said, trying to hide the horror in my eyes.
" She isn't a vegetarian – like us. I'm afraid she's our enemy. Be careful please. Bella, love, get some sleep you need rest"
Edward began to hum my favourite lullaby, and as much as I didn't want to, I fell asleep.
I was running for my life, I didn't know why, I just sensed danger. And then I saw her, her red hair flying in the wind. Victoria. Two other women followed behind her- obviously Rose and Judith, there was also a smallish woman, I suddenly realised who it was – Suzie. Suddenly I heard a cry,
" Bella look out!"
Thump. Clumsy me had ran in to a tree.
" Ugh," I sighed and began to try and get up, but apparently my fall hadn't gone unnoticed, the thud had attracted Victoria's attention. Victoria decided it was time for her to pounce. She moved cat-like in the air, to finally land on top of me.
" And so we meet again, Bella Swan," Victoria remarked
" A mate for a mate, seem fair to me"
And then I saw the blood red in her eyes.
