Chapter 3

I opened my eyes as the chair came up. Aro had hired me to take out some little known rogue vampire who was threatening to expose himself. It looked like I was just about in with him and my plan was just about ready to be put into action. Ciro led me from the programing room into the wardrobe room and to the salon. He waited while they made me into another person, as I became Eleta Soleil, vampire hunter. I came out wearing a club dress that had a sheer top with sequin hands covering my chest, serpent stilettos, and a sequin purse.

"Che cosa sta indossi?" Ciro exclaimed when I did a little twirl revealing how the dress's back dipped into a deep V.

"What she needs to wear, Mr. Bianchi." Aro said entering the room. "Bonjour, Mme Soleil. J'espère que vous allez prendre soin de notre petit ... problème pour nous."

"Bien sûr, M. Aro." I said with Eleta's best smile.

Ciro and I left almost immediately afterwards to catch a flight to Paris. He had lent me a trench coat so I could make it to the club where my target was staying without getting raped by some drunkard on the street. Though, I couldn't help but wonder if he just couldn't stand the outfit. I crossed my legs and took a sip of my coffee. Across from me Ciro shifted in his seat and cleared his throat.

"The target's name is Laurent Thomas, a rogue nomad that has threatened to expose the vampire community. He has taken up residence above Le Starlight Sanglant, an underground nightclub for vampires in Paris. Bella remembers him, he was a member of the group of nomads that tried to kill her."

"Revenge, lovely."

"It's not revenge, I feel nothing about him, this is just a job. My way in with Aro, I need to find out what he wants from me."

As soon as we touched down I hailed a cab. I put a blue tooth in one ear and took off Ciro's heavy trench coat. Going over the plan in my head I decided to check my purse for my weapons. There was a black tube that was warm to the touch, in the file it said that the tube contained a syringe filled with liquid silver for Laurent, and a gun with an extra magazine of silver bullets for anyone else. I dialed Ciro's number from a burn phone he'd slipped me in the plane and the routed it through the blue tooth.

"Ciao, amore."

I smirked at him. "Sono quasi al circolo. Non sarò in grado di avere questo è tutto il tempo, sai?"

"Lo so." He sighed. "Essere sicuri."

"Lo farò."

I paid the driver and left the coat in the cab. The bouncer looked at me and nodded me in. I flipped my hair as an excuse to remove the blue tooth from my ear and put in back in my purse. Groups of vampires danced close together moving against each other. I walked towards the bar to cover up the fact that I was looking for Laurent. He was sitting on a couch with two vampire women. I caught his eyes then looked away and let another take me out on to the floor. Laurent grabbed him and took his place. He was so close my hand twitched but I let his hands slide across my stomach and his nose run the length of my jugular.

"Mon amour ..." he groaned into my ear.

I turned around and kissed him. When I pulled away I looked up into his blood red eyes and whispered, "Profitons de cette un endroit plus privé."

He gulped, his eyes darkening with anticipation. We moved quickly off the dance floor stopping once for him to kiss me again. Finally we made it up to his room and I pushed him down on his bed. I could feel his fangs elongate as we made out. He was starting to get serious so I pulled away and grabbed his hands. I smiled just out of the reach of his lips.

"Je reviens tout de suite." I whispered.

I grabbed my purse and walked into his bathroom. I could hear him groan at my departure but I didn't look back. Once I was sure he was distracted by himself I pulled out the black tube and retrieved the syringe. Just as I moved to leave I messed up my hair and pushed my sleeves down my arms. I opened the door and watched him. He looked up without noticing the syringe at my side. I walked coyly over to him and picked up where we'd left off. Then when he least expected it I stabbed the syringe into his neck. I pulled back but he wrapped his hand around my throat.

"Pourquoi?"He growled.

"Un cadeau, gracieuseté de Aro." I whispered.

He died quickly after that. I stood and straightened myself up. My purse was still in the bathroom next to the sink so I went to go get it. The trash from the silver shot couldn't be left behind and I still needed to call my ride. Before I called I checked the hallway to make sure no one was looking for Laurent and then checked the room to make sure there was no proof I'd been there and killed him. I took off my shoes and left via the fire escape. At ground level I put my shoes on and called Ciro.

"Hey, I'm in the alley behind the club."

"I know, I can see you," I look around and find the black van with him waiting for me in the door. "Get in."

"Thanks." I said as I stepped in.

"How'd it go?" He asked as I got comfortable.

"Same as all the others."

(Third Person)

Jacob stormed into the room and grabbed Edward. "Where is Bella, you little leech?" he growled.

The entire Cullen family was in the living room in an instant trying to pull the two apart. Jacob would not let go until Emmett got between the two and pushed them apart. As soon as he fell on the floor he tried to latch on to Emmett but was held down by Rose, Alice and Jasper.

"Calm down, that's what we're trying to figure out." Carlisle said.

"This is all your fault if you hadn't left her she would never have been so depressed and then Charlie wouldn't have sent her to live with Renee."

"That's the problem; it looks like Renee doesn't exist."

Jacob went limp. "What?" Carlisle nodded and the three holding him down released allowing him to stand. "What do you mean Renee doesn't exist? If she doesn't exist then, Bella is…"

"We don't know, but Charlie is adamant that Bella is with Renee." Edward said.

Jacob looked down thoughtfully. "There are rumors about something called the Dollhouse. The rumor started in L.A. but supposedly there's one in Seattle too."

"That's just an urban legend." Rose rolled her eyes. "Trust of wolfboy to bring up the stupidest idea ever."

"No, a friend of mine in Paris said the technology needed to run such a place does exist. She even said that the Volturri are known to use a place fitting the description in Italy. Perhaps she could help you find out if Bella is indeed with a Dollhouse."

And just like that most of the group was on their way to Paris. Jake was the only one to suffer from the late hour of the flight. He couldn't help but wonder why the leech was even bothering to look for Bella. From what Bella had said he had left after telling her he had never loved her. So why did he want to come all this way to save someone he'd never loved?

"Edward?" Jake asked quietly.

"What do you want?" the vampire grumbled.

"Why are you doing this? She said that you told her you never loved her."

"I lied." He croaked. "I thought I was the dangerous element in her life and that maybe if I left she'd be safe. I was wrong."
