Chapter Three

Recognition

BPOV

Nathan dragged me around unknown streets. I didn't remember anything yet and anything that I did was from Nathan telling me. Even though those images of us ran around in my head I didn't believe them but Nathan seemed like a sweet guy. I could give him a chance.

We stopped at a house that looked familiar yet at the same time it didn't. The house was huge which probably meant it belonged to a rich family. It was white and it looked old fashioned. An image ran through my head of me running towards the house and entering without a second thought.

"I remember this place." I whispered to myself. Nathan stopped walking and turned to me with a worried expression that lasted about three seconds before he quickly changed it.

"No you don't." He said and looked deeply into my eyes. I looked around disoriented and didn't know where we were.

"Where are we?" Nathan took a deep breath before answering.

"Close your eyes." I did as I was told. "Take a deep breath and tell me what you smell." I took a deep breath and came across and amazingly sweet scent. It smelled amazing that I felt like my mouth was watering but when I swallowed I felt a deep distaste for it.

"I smell something sweet and mouth watering." I said as I took another deep breath.

"Tell me what you hear." I listened closely and heard a…beating? Of what? I focused on the sound and from the sound of it, it was a heart. My mouth watered more if that was even possible.

"Heart." I licked my lips and I didn't even know why.

"Go get her." I looked around and found a tree that was close to a window. I climbed it up and then looked around the window to see if anyone was present. The beating of the heart was louder if that was even possible. It was like my mind wasn't my own and I wanted to get it back but I could hear a vicious growl just at the thought of getting what little humanity I had left.

I held on to my breathing as I noticed that the room looked oddly familiar. My humanity rose up and I wasn't thinking like a hunter anymore which I was oddly thankful for. I was afraid of falling as I jumped to the window sill but was relieved when I made it across the short distance. I looked around the room and saw pictures. The first one was of a baby in the arms of her mother and her father behind them looking at the child.

The child was beautiful. I looked at more pictures and noticed how the girl looked older and older. I saw another picture of the girl when she was a lot older, probably around fifteen, and when I was about to go to another picture I noticed a mirror and looked at my reflection. I gasped as I noticed the similarity between the girl and me. I looked so familiar to her... that girl... was me. I heard another gasp from behind me and saw the reflection of a human woman.

"Bella?" She asked unsure but I wasn't sure if she was asking me or herself. I turned around as some memories came to me. Being in the car with dad and grandma…Ian...Nathan in the alley...Nathan letting me live and telling me to meet him again...meeting Nathan...Nathan telling me he was a vampire...running away from him...he lied to me. HE LIED TO ME! I'm so stupid he told me he could control minds and made them do whatever he wanted. He told me that he could make you feel what he wanted and he also said that he could create illusions.

"Mom." I could feel a tearless sob escape my lips as I recognized her.

"My baby!" She exclaimed as she ran to me and hugged me. I hugged her back gently trying not to put as much pressure as the one she was putting. "I thought you were dead. I thought you died on the car crash with your father and your grandma."

"Dad and grandma are dead?" I asked as another sob escaped. She put me at arms length and studied me for a minute.

"You look so different sweetheart." She said as she looked at me. "Why are your eyes red?" I was about to answer when my head started pounding. I fell on my knees and brought my hands up to the sides of my head to try and stop the pounding.

"Bella!" My mom said surprised as I fell to the ground. Attack her! She's your prey, do what you have to do! A voice inside my head screamed. I will not hurt my mother, I will not hurt her. I chanted over and over again as I tried to get control over my body.

"Mom, leave run away from me! I don't want to hurt you." It was very hard to get the words out of my mouth but I accomplished it.

"You won't hurt me sweetheart, tell me what's wrong, and why are you in so much pain?" She asked as she kneeled in front of me.

"Mom please, leave I don't have control over I can do or not." I pleaded with her but she stood by my side. "Mom, please." I begged she only shook her head in return.

"I won't leave sweetheart. I won't leave you alone." Attack, now! I had to leave I had to… before I made a move though I launched myself at my mother. I pinned her to the ground and then brought my mouth towards her neck. I pierced my teeth through her skin and then started to suck her blood out. I wanted to stop, I wanted to pull myself away and run. I wanted to kill myself for what I was doing.

"I love you baby." I heard as I kept draining her. When I was finally done and I had regained my mind back I sat there and looked at her lifeless body. A dry sob escaped as I brought her to my chest and drowned my face into her hair.

"Mom, mom, mom, mom...I'm so sorry...mom, mom." I sobbed harder but kept a light hold on her. I rocked us back and forth. I looked at her neck and saw that she had a locket around it. I pulled it off and put it in my pocket.

"You have great control you know." I looked up at Nathan and glared at him.

"I hate you!" I wasn't sad anymore now I was pissed. I wanted to rip his body up then use his head as a soccer ball.

"Bella, Bella, Bella, what am I going to do with you?" He shook his head with a smile in place. He started approaching me slowly trying to gauge my reaction. I stood up after gently setting my mom's body on the ground.

"I want you to stay away from me!" He stopped and looked up into my eyes.

"I can't do that Bella, can't you see that I love you. I did all this for you." He motioned with his hands around us. "I made you into what you are because of the love I feel towards you. I've been alone for too long Bella. I think its time to get what I want."

"And what exactly is that?" I asked as I took a deep breath.

"Well for starters, I would like to make it official that you belong to me... I just want to make you mine. Feel what you're made of." He said and grinned.

"And what if I told you, that you can die for all I care." I stood in my place trying to pay attention to my mind. Focusing, trying to see if I could stop him from getting control of my mind. There it was, a little tug, like a piece of tape that you try to take off but it's really stuck that you have to use more force. I focused on it and tried to keep it out. The tug at first was gentle and then it started to come with more force but nothing happened.

The tug went away and I looked at Nathan to see him worried. Now it was my turn to get control of the situation. I smiled angelically at him.

"Have you ever heard that you can't always get what you want?"

"Well I'll just have to try harder wont I?" He launched himself at me and pinned me to the ground. I was expecting him doing a mental attack not a physical one.

"Get off of me!" I yelled as I pushed as hard as I could against his chest. The force of my push made him go back to the other wall and then went through it and ending in another room. I looked at my hands and then at the hole that Nathan went through. He looked as surprised as I was. The surprised quickly left him and he pushed himself away from the wall to dust himself off of the debris.

To say I was surprised was an understatement, a really, really big understatement. I pushed myself off the wall and wiped myself off of the debris from the impact. I looked up to find Isabella looking at her hands. She looked up at me and before I could start moving towards her she made a run for it. A growl deep within my chest erupted at her running away...from me.

I took off after her following her scent. She was so much faster then me though because she was a newborn. A newborn that could control her emotions, who could stop herself from attacking a human, a very powerful newborn. She was going through the forest at an incredible speed I knew I would not be able to catch her but I was going to see if she was off guard so that I could use a mental attack towards her.

I could see her ahead of me by a few miles. Stop! She suddenly stopped and stayed in place. I stopped too and concentrated. Come back right now! She turned around and took a step forwards then another and then she stopped again and shook her head. No! I lost control over her mind and she turned back around and ran. I ran as fast as my legs could let me only to find the edge of the Atlantic Ocean and no sign of her. I couldn't even smell her scent.

The moonlight was shining above the beach and I could see something shining. I bent down and picked up what had gotten my attention. It was the ring that I had placed in her finger. A growl escaped my lips before I could control it.

"NO!"
