The Beginning


Feeling agitated with herself, Bella heaved off her school bag and ran up the stairs in hopes of avoiding Charlie.

"Hey Bells where you going in such a rush? Aren't you going to say hi to your old man?" Charlie materialized around the corner before Bella could make the mad dash up the stairs. Leaning on the banister Charlie crossed his arms over his chest. "Bells I know you have been...err... upset for the past little while," pausing, "but I would really like to see you go out with your friends." Charlie struggled with his words; having these conversations was always difficult. "Jacob's been asking after you..."

Inwardly Bella felt that this conversation was redundant, she had heard several variations of what she should and shouldn't do for the past month now. She knew that if she were to give in too early to these human's demands then her plans would be jeopardized. Bella decided to exaggerate a groan in mock decision.

"Bells..." Charlie whispered, in strained emotion, "I worry about you."

Rolling her eyes Bella stepped down a few stairs and stared her mock father in the eyes, "you don't need to worry about me. I'm fine I promise." At that Bella trend back up the steps without a backward glance at Charlie.

Back in her room Bella heaved a sigh of relief. Why do humans have to be so emotional! Do they not see there are more important more imminent matters to be worried about then some love deranged teenage girl. Supposing that that was a losing thought anyway Bella shut the door and pressed her ear against it to make sure that Charlie had not followed her up the stairs. Having super sensitive hearing Bella became confident in the fact that Charlie valued sports over his own daughter's tears.

Walking to the center of the room Bella decided that it is high time to call upon her minion. When was the last time that Bella had had contact with that fool Victoria? It must have been the night when Bella had shown her true nature. She had not transformed so completely since the last encounter that she had with Edward many centuries ago.

Then he had been a whiny priest set on destroying Bella's kind. He almost was successful, but not quite. Edward then known as Noah was weak. He fell in love with the very creature he was trying to eliminate: Her. Bella had been the daughter of the Queen of Dreams. But Edward and his army had assassinated her mother in the name of God. Who was God anyway? Bella didn't know and she sure didn't care now. Her thoughts were bent on destroying Edward and then when she had succeeded she would move on to murdering the male race.

The crusade to purify the Earth of males was her own personal war. She was sick of seeing the injustices wrought on women in the name of Patriarchy. Bella heaved a long evil sigh and whistled in a pitch that only Victoria could hear.


Dashing through the woods in hot pursuit of a lone hunter Victoria was glad that she had not had much contact with the creature Bella. Toying with her prey Victoria would weave in and out of the trees so that the human would not know who or what was tracking them. Victoria loved the game it gave an extra boost to the flavour of the blood once her prey was down. Presently Victoria was getting annoyed with running circles around her prey. She was getting too hungry and didn't think she could last much longer.

A flash of red and black plaid caught her eye. Ah there he is Victoria thought to herself. In that instant she lunged in the direction of the scared hunter surprising him to a halt. Oh this will be too easy.

Panting the man clutched his chest in exhaustion, "Oh! You really had me scared there. I thought that I was being chased by a bear or something. Instead I am confronted with a pretty lady." The hunter tried to smile but was unsuccessful.

Victoria walked over to the man resting her hand on his shoulder. "Oh I think you do really need to be scared." With that Victoria takes no time to hesitate before ripping his throat out and sucking his body dry of blood.

In that instant a loud pitched sound seered through Victoria's mind making it hard even for her to breath. Clutching her blood drenched hands to her ears she cried out in pain. No she is calling me. Victoria fell to the ground next to the corpse of her recent kill. Why me Victoria silently cried.

After a few minutes of agenizing pain Victoria inched her way up the nearest tree to better help her stand up. If she doesn't leave soon the sound will come again and next time it won't be so forgiving.

Without a second thought Victoria lunged off the tree in the direction of Bella's call.
