WELCOME TO CHAPTER TWO! I wanted to make up for not updating Revenge Is Sweeter Than Blood sooner, so I'm giving you new chapters in a row. BUT I EXPECT REVIEWS!

As a treat, I've also given you a brief look at the Cullen's through Bella's POV, and I gave you Veronica's POV too, along with Blaine's XD

:D

They came with a kind of swagger, one by one through the trees.

Veronica came first, followed by Cyrus, Kelly, and Logan. All eight of their eyes were a sinister burgundy color, contrasting to my golden ones.

They all must've swapped clothes at our old house like me. Veronica was tall, thin, but with maddeningly deep, dark eyes. She had long, wavy hair that hung in curtains over her faces. I supposed she was pretty-every vampire was pretty. She kind of reminded me of some villain from a famous book series-something that I'd read when I was human, but the memories were so dim I could remember who. Veronica wore a black, sort of gothic dress that fitted perfectly around her body. She looked like she was on her way to a cocktail party. It also looked like she'd stylishly ripped the bottom of the dress, but I also knew it was so she could move around easier. Veronica was also easily the most dangerous out of my family. Her ability to control fire made it easy to defeat other vampires, seeing as our bodies were filled with venom, which is extremely flammable.

Cyrus was built like me: thin, but with a good amount of muscle. Unlike me, my brother had white hair. I think it was naturally white blonde when he was human, but the transformation must've turned it snow white. It stuck up messily all over, but I supposed it fit him. Cyrus was extremely apathetic. I imagined that Veronica had had to give him a heavy fine to convince him to join her. Cyrus could control ice, but I'd never seen him use it. I couldn't imagine why Veronica would want him. It wasn't her style to pick someone who appeared to be useless or weak. Cyrus wore dress pants and a simple, white button down shirt.

Kelly was probably the most excitable vampire I would ever meet. She was the evil version of that pixie-like Cullen, except for her long golden curls. She wore a simple skirt and blouse. She could control electricity, which could cause trouble if Veronica got her to these generators they were supposed to meet at. I guess she was the equivalent of the bitchiest cheerleader in a high school.

I'd seen Logan rip up many a vampire, so I knew he was an experienced and talented fighter. And, almost right before I escaped with Seth, I'd seen him channeling his power-the ability to make things explode-into newborns so that they popped into a million pieces. And Logan was strong, too. Stronger than me, and stronger than any of the other newborns. Logan was built tall and wide. He wasn't as huge as the brown-haired Cullen that I'd seen a while ago, but he was huge. He had thick, wavy dirty blonde hair, not as light as the honey blonde Cullen. Logan was also extremely competitive, never backing down from a challenge.

Veronica was smiling madly while Cyrus swept the area with his eyes. He must've deemed it safe enough, because he stood at Veronica's right side while Kelly and Logan took her left.

"Hey Blaine," Logan said cheerfully. "Long time no see."

I ignored him. Logan chuckled while Kelly glowered at me.

Veronica stepped forward, her mad eyes burning.

"It's not too late," she informed me. "You could still join us. Stop this abstinence and embrace what you truly are. Look around you!" She swept her hand around the area of the playground, indicating the humans that were watching the five of us warily. "These people are our food, Blaine. You could never live among them."

I spat venom at her. Veronica's insane smile widened.

"Oh well," she sighed melodramatically. "Logan, take care of him and meet us at the generators. And don't keeping me waiting or I'll rip off your head and burn it. You'll have to wander around headless for all eternity."

Logan just grinned. "My pleasure."

Apparently Veronica had misunderstood him. "You want to have your head ripped off?" She demanded incredulously.

Cyrus sighed. "No, Veronica, he means he'd enjoy killing our little brother."

"Oh! I empathize, and I wish I could join you Logan, but we have to be going. Meet us soon, okay? Toodles!" giggling, Veronica, along with Cyrus and Kelly, ran-thankfully at human speed- back into the woods.

I partially wondered whether Veronica's madness had intensified. Logan took a step forward, disrupting my thoughts as he waited for me to make the first strike.

"Logan, all I want is Veronica's head," I sighed. "I have nothing against you."

"Oh, I know," Logan chuckled. "But I've been itching to see how you could handle yourself in a fight for a long time, bro."

I shrugged casually. "I do OK."

Logan grinned at me. I was annoyed; I didn't want to fight Logan for two reasons. One, I had no quarrel with him. Two, I was extremely inexperienced with my power. I could very well lose this fight.

Logan glanced at the children, who had backed up a few feet, but were still watching us.

I didn't want to involve humans in this at all. This wasn't how I had wanted our confrontation to go down!

Logan, still looking at the children, twitched his fingers. I saw a spark appear on his fingertips-

And the ground beneath me exploded. I was thrown backwards into a slide. The children screamed while their parents gathered them up and ran like hell for their cars. I saw about three mothers whip out their cell phones. Probably calling the police. Great.

I jumped to my feet and saw Logan running at me. Just in time, I raised my hand to black his punch. Now it was my turn.

Logan was blown backwards by my invisible power, skidding on his back. Quickly, I jumped on top of him and tried to grab his head. Logan bit down on my wrist, and I clenched my teeth to stop myself from screaming. Vampire venom hurt a lot.

Logan kicked me in the chest off him and scrambled to his feet. I got to mine too. Logan snapped his fingers, and I felt a warm breeze rustle through the air and saw that same spark on his fingertips. I dove to my left just as the ground exploded for a second time. I had managed to avoid the brunt of the attack, but its force was enough to send me flying through a swing set.

Just then, three cop cars pulled up and policemen and women got out of them. They all raised guns at us.

"Freeze!"

"No!" I shouted, but it was too late. Logan snapped his fingers again, and the nearest car exploded into a fireball that sailed upwards. Some of the cops fired their guns at us while others ran to help fallen ones. Logan and I both ignored the bullets. They couldn't hurt us. Logan, however, was having the time of his life. He leapt into the air, landing directly in front of a cop. He grabbed her and sank his teeth into her neck. She began to scream in pain as Logan's venom coursed through her veins. Logan dropped her when she was dry though. She would never become an immortal.

Logan then proceeded to attack the other cops. I couldn't let that happen, so I charged him. Logan had already blown up the second car when I tackled him. We landed so hard that we made a crater in the asphalt. Then Logan blasted me away from him with another explosion. This one was exponentially more powerful than the first. It catapulted me through the playground, twisting metal and concrete. Thankfully virtual indestructibility kept me alive. I staggered to my feet and saw Logan dispatching the rest of the cops.

I didn't think. I just acted.

Faster than I had ever run before, I made it to the parking lot where Logan was and jumped. It was more of a small hop, but I timed it just right to plant my feet onto his shoulder, grabs his head with my hands, pull and back flip of Logan.

His head came off with a loud screeching noise, and all was silent.

Logan's headless body wasn't as lifeless as it should have been. Instead of lying on the ground, it decided to charge me and get its head back. It was easy to defeat without a brain to control it though. I used my power to blast it into the flaming wreckage of the cars. Then I took the cops and threw them into the inferno too. Lastly, I pitched Logan's head into the fire.
I piled the cars on top of each other and left the place to burn.

It became clear to me moments after leaving the playground that I would have to get through Cyrus and Kelly to get to Veronica. One down, two to go.

And who was this mysterious B? What did he (or she) want with me? The offer was to good to pass up, but if it was a trap, the consequences would be dire…

Furthermore, I needed to know how to fight. I was sure that if the police hadn't arrived to distract Logan I would've ripped into pieces and burned. So maybe it was a good idea to see this B.

I made my decision and ran North.

Bella's POV

"Bella, something's happening," Alice told me. Her expression was strained and worried. I sighed.

"Alice, what now? First there was the thing with Nessie, and then Seth, and now you're telling me there's something else?" I was exasperated.

"Bella, it involves all of us. Something-or someone-is coming. I saw…all of us. Burning. Bella, it's going to happen, I can feel it."

"Alice, calm down. You know that your visions are subjective. Maybe it was an errant thought made by Caius or Aro."

"No, I would know if it was the Volturi-I've been watching them. Speaking of which, I did see Alec and Jane being sent to the East Coast. It's kinda far away, but…never mind, that's not what I'm talking about," Alice's eyes widened. "Bella, I saw two vampires facing off in a clearing. I heard someone shout, and the vision witched to three people. One of them was a female vampire I didn't recognize. The other two were Seth and Edward. Edward was holding Seth back, who was trying to get to the vampire. And then it flashed to us burning. I think it's a warning."

"Of what?" Emmett asked. He and the other members of my family along with Jacob had heard Alice and were now all in the living room.

"I don't know!" Alice snapped. I could see that this stressed her.

"I think I know," Edward said, "Two vampires are going to meet here and fight. And if we don't run in and stop the fight, then we're all going to die."

There was a painful silence.

"I'll talk to Seth," Jacob said, ducking out the door.

I met Edward's eyes. We were in danger.

"It'll be okay…"

Veronica's POV

Logan hadn't made it back yet. Not that I particularly cared about his well-being, I just wanted to know if my stupid little brother was dead yet.

"He's not coming," Cyrus murmured. Kelly frowned.

"He couldn't have lost to Logan. He's the strongest of us. Physically, at least."

"He lacks cleverness," I muttered. Cyrus and Kelly stared at me. "Oh come on! Logan was never cunning; he always went straight for what he wanted. If we're going to kill Blaine, we need to be devious. Underhanded. And one just isn't going to cut it. We should have taken him when we had the chance!" I kicked a rock in frustration, and it flew through the air and sliced through a tree.

"He wants revenge," Cyrus said. "He wants you, Veronica."

"We'll just lead him into an ambush," Kelly supplied.

I growled and a fireball appeared above my palm. "I will not be bait."

Kelly and Cyrus backed up from the fire. I giggled. They were just too damn funny when they were terrified.

I sighed. "Okay, fine."

Cyrus rolled his eyes at me. I stuck my tongue out at him. I heard Kelly mutter, "So immature," under her breath, but I let it go.

It was time to put our plan into action.

Okay, so if you haven't guessed it by now, I'll tell you: Blaine is going to fight each of his siblings every mother chapter, the last being Veronica. And Seth will make an appearance, but it won't be for another few chapters. I don't really think that I did Veronica's POV very well, but idk.
