Victoria's POV
He followed me for days. I knew he was there, I knew he wanted my death as he did the death of my mate. I led him in circles. He was oblivious to the path in which he was following. His mind was too focused on the human. How an immortal could love a human I still cannot fathom to understand. As I came across an unknown town in Nevada, I decided to have a little fun with him. It was time to hunt.
I sought my target as precisely as possible. I wanted Edward to hurt. I wanted him to let his guard down and feel he pain in which I felt, though I had no intensions to touch him. His wasn't the death that would avenge my mate James. His death would do nothing for me. Why should I give him death quickly and easily when he can suffer as I do?
I walked through the darkness with exact movements. I had seen this particular human on our way to Washington before James was taken from me. I wanted her then but we had to feed quickly and I lost my chance to take her. I could still taste her scent on the back of my tongue from months before. She would be perfect. She carried almost the same scent as the human in Forks. This would tear Edward's heart. Let him get a small taste of what it's like to lose a mate.
I was closer now. I could smell her scent coming from an upstairs apartment building. It was black as pitch outside, easy for me to make my move and leave her body behind. I listened quietly and without motion to see that she was alone. After I was sure, I scaled to wall and onto her balcony. Looking inside, I could see that she sat in front of a fire place with a book in her hand. It was almost too easy. I pried the sliding glass door open in one swift motion and grabbed her before she realized what happened. I couldn't spill her blood, at least not yet. I had to have her in place before I drained her or I wouldn't be able to think clearly. Edward had to see her. She looks and smells so much like his Bella.
Just take her now!
My mind was screaming at me, I knew I had to wait. The venom in my mouth was pouring, I had to move faster before I lost control. I could feel my body tense, waiting impatiently for me to drain this human.
I found the spot I spent the day in. Edward was sure to find my scent here. I had to act quickly, the human was beginning to wake. She wouldn't suffer; my thirst wouldn't allow it.
I sunk my teeth into her throat quickly and drained her lifeless. I made sure to smear her body in her own blood. Just enough that once dried Edward could smell it clearly. I also made sure to leave strands of my hair lying around; one more way for Edward to find her.
While I waited for him to catch up, I decided to continue to satisfy my thirst. It would be past daybreak before he arrived.
After a few more humans were drained, I decided to make my way back to the clearing. I had to stay unseen in the daylight so my journey would take a few hours. It would be past twilight before I made it there. I'm sure Edward has found her by this point.
As expected, twilight was passed when I made it back. Also as expected, Edward had found the body of the girl and buried her. I knew he would find a soft spot for the weak human. My plan was well on its way. I found him sitting against a tree with his eyes closed as if he were asleep. I watched him for several minutes until he snatched his eyes open and looked around. He didn't seem to notice me just yet. I decided to get the plan in motion.
"So you found me." I remained completely still as I watched his body stand uncomfortably.
"Who said I was searching for you Victoria?" He began to chuckle. As if he could fool me.
"I have been leading you in circles for days. Do you not realize where you are Edward? We are roughly two hours from Forks. Had you not been tracking me, we wouldn't be standing here together." I had carried the girls body all the way from Nevada. I was impressed that I could hold myself off of her for that long. "You do realize, I will have her eventually. Mate for mate my dear Edward and now that you aren't there to protect her, she might as well be dead now."
I ran from him quickly. I planned my escape well. I had time before he arrived to send my scent in different directions. I laughed to myself as I ran. Surely he would see Forks as a joke and attempt to follow me. I would have her in my grasp before reached her. When he gets to Forks, I will take the life of his mate as he watches. Unfortunately, it would have to wait. I needed time to prepare so I began to run towards Texas. There had to be someone there would could help me.
