Thank you for pointing that out and before everything when roughly wrong I did finally do some research and had changed where she was from but I seemed to of lost it. I admit I used of down research on where she was coming from before starting this but I remember the idea would not leave my alone. Once everything is sorted I will get my research and sort out the whole, year, town place she came from. Thank you.
The others seemed to of realized as well as Carlisle as the others turned to face her. Vera ignored them as her hands heated up until bright orange flames appeared before soaking in James body. His screams echoing through her ears as she held his body against the wall until there was no movement.
Taking a deep breath as she took a small step back watching the body slowly drop to the ground, James pale skin slowly turning to a dark black before inch by inch it turned to ash. No matter what he did to disgust her, he had still been some close to her.
"Her femoral artery's been severed. She's losing too much blood." The voice of Carlisle awoken her, causing her eyes to move towards Bella who was screaming on the floor with blood pouring around her from the wound on the leg.
"No, No, my head is burning!"
"It's the venom." She announce as seven heads turned to her as she moved closer. They followed her eyes towards the painfully bite mark on Bella's wrist. Carlisle quickly turned to face his son, Edward.
"You have to make a choice. You could let the change happen."
"No" Edward shook his head as he stared at his love's body, watching as the pain flickered across her face. "No"
"It's gonna happen, Edward. I've seen it." Alice declared as she moved closer while placing her hand over the wound on Bella's leg from the piece of glass.
"It doesn't have to be that way. She's still haemorrhaging. Alice, make me a tourniquet. Your belt."
"Carlisle, what's the other opinion?" Carlisle ignored Edward for the moment as he took over from Alice while she was pulling of her belt.
"Tie it above my hands"
"Carlisle!"
"We could try and suck the venom out." He spoke softly to his son, seeing how much he cared for the human.
"You know I won't be able to stop."
"I'm….Sorry" Vera gasped, all there heads turning to face her, finally taking in her black eyes. She was trying to not breath but using her powers took a lot of energy and she was incredible thirst, Bella's blood wasn't helping. She watching Carlisle nod. Not wasting a second before she left the ballet studio.
All seven vampires watched her leave before a scream escaped from Bella's lips.
"Edward, you must find the will to stop. But you must choose. She only has minutes left" He tightened the belt around her leg until the bleeding finally stopped. It was the last she could hear of them as she moved further and further away.
Vera wasted no time in searching for a human. She needed blood now or she would end up making another mistake once again and there was no Laurent to help get her through it this time. A old homeless man was her choice and she wasted no time in sinking her teeth into his neck, his blood was foul and he smell of garbage but blood was blood and it helped satisfied her craving for now.
After disposing of the body she spent her time wandering around in the woods, watching the few animals grazing in the grass before the sunlight broke free. Vera decided that before she returned to Laurent she would quickly check up on the vampires and Bella but she was going to take her time heading there. The day probably being hard on Bella. There was no rush as she quickly walked through the woods but still faster then a human and it took little over a day and a half for her to be back in Forks, the unusual name caused her to chuckle. She wondered if there was a town called Knifes?
It had to be the oddest town she had stepped in.
Quickly locating the house once again to hear all seven vampires in the house as well the hum…Bella. This time she choose to knock and it seemed to ring around the house as the talking stopped before a moment later Carlisle was opening the door.
"Hello Carlisle" Her slight Texas accent appearing, she could never control it and it seemed to have a mind of its own on when it appeared but she was happy when she spotted the small smile on Carlisle face.
"Good evening Vera"
"I came to check up on the huma…Bella before I leave." Carlisle gave a small nod before he moved to the side. She caution made her way into the large beautiful house, Carlisle and his family were still stranger's to her.
"See for yourself. Bella is on the first floor" She quietly followed Carlisle up the many stairs at a human speed before entering what looking like a large living room. Edward and Alice were sitting on either side of Bella while Jasper was hovering near a window with the other two unknown vampire hovering slightly over Bella as they stared at her. The tall blonde one was on the other side glaring at Bella and her.
It seemed their feeling's were mutual. No one trusted each other.
"Glad to see you alive Bella and….human" She was shocked at that part, not expecting Edward to have enough strength to pull away, no vampire she had meet was able to do that but here was one that had succeed. There were truly mates.
"Thank you for helping me. If not for you I would have been killed" It was the first time she had heard Bella speak but it was filled with gratitude.
"If I may ask….What made you head of on your own to James?" That question had been bugging her, only a suicide human would head of to meet up with an insane vampire.
"I through he had my mother but it was a trick." Bella turned her head to her lap as her fingers twitch.
"That's one of his favour." She had watched plenty of times as helpless humans ran towards the place thinking James had their families and then the shock and disbelief that he was lying made it even more fun to James. "I apologize for my quick leaving. Your blood…..was…tempting me" She caught the grimace on Edward's face and felt guilt rise.
He had tasted her blood, it tempted everyone, even Bella's lover who wished he didn't't.
Bella was sitting on one of the many couches the family had and there was a large black boot wrapped around her leg, where the glass had pieced it as well as James breaking it but the bite mark from James was clear on her skin, it was hardly visible on vampires but on humans it was more noticeable.
"I just came to see if you were alright, Bella." She gave a small nod "I must go now, I will have to find Laurent." She took a couple of steps back with a small smile. "It was a pleasure to meet y'all and I wish it was a better meeting." Turning around before she heading back the way she once came but as her hand wrapped a round the door handle, a pale gentle hand landed on her shoulder and in seconds she had the person pinned against the wall.
It took a moment to realize it was Carlisle that was pinned under her arm, releasing him as quickly as possible but there was no anger on his face. It was silent between them both before Carlisle cleared his throat.
"You don't need to leave, you know?" Carlisle spoke, ignoring the growls coming from the room above them. Vera didn't hear his question as she continued to stare into the unnatural golden eyes. There was no proper reason on how these vampires had golden eyes instead of red or black.
"Why are your eyes golden?" The question was out of her mouth before she could stop her self and the shock look on Carlisle face made her uncomfortable.
"Don't you know?" They was disbelief in his voice at having meet someone that knew nothing of their life style. Aro had made sure the information had hit every single vampire around hoping it would warn other away from them and he had succeed but to meet someone that knew nothing of it was quiet a shock. Vera shook her head, slightly confused and wondering if every vampire was meant to know why Carlisle and his family had golden eyes.
"We don't drink human blood" That statement confused Vera even more.
"Then how do you survive?"
"We drink animal blood"
Vera felt like her jaw was going to drop as she stood there. They drank animal blood, she didn't even know that was an opinion, being alive as long as she had, there had never been a moment where she meet a vampire that drank animal blood but to hear that they was another choice for her instead of killing innocents.
"Wh..how…I me.." She was stumbling over her words not being able to digest it. All the guilt from killing so many people that she had buried away came crashing down her, their screams echoing in her head caused her legs to wobble before her body dropped, Carlisle arms wrapping around her waist as her eyes watered. All them people and the little boy she killed so she could survive and there had been another way all this time.
"Oh….God" She cried out, her chest twisting in pain at the through of all the countless lives she had taken but it only lasted a second before calmness passed over her and her guilt disappeared, it confused her for a moment but it was forgotten as the rest of the family appeared excluding Edward and Bella who she could hear was still up stairs.
Jasper was kneeling on her right as Carlisle backed of watching as his newest son comforted Vera before realization kicked in and his eyes moved towards Alice who was grinning. It seemed his newest son had finally found his mate.
He sent his thoughts towards his oldest son before returning his mind to the matter. Jasper had pulled her to her feet before lightly pulling her towards their small games room which had a couple more couches.
He placed her on the nearest one as he kept track of her emotions, the guilt that had been spiralling out from her had slammed into him, causing him to stumble and that had been why they had raced down to see the strange vampire crying on her knees. They hadn't actually been listening to Carlisle and Vera conversation as they kept their eyes on Bella and Edward.
It was silent for a couple of minute's allowing Vera to calm herself down, her unnecessarily breathing returning to normal before whipping her eyes clear, even if there were no actual tears.
"I neve..r…knew." She was muttering but they could hear her perfectly as a motherly look appeared on Esme's face before she embraced the vampire. The shock at having someone hug her caused her body to freeze. No one had ever hugged her, not anyone that she could remember, it was something new as she lightly wrapped her arms around the woman but it made her feel safe and secure.
"Vera…You can change. It's unnecessarily to kill Humans, Turning towards animals will take time and patients but there will be no guilt. It doesn't fill you up like human blood but it keeps the hungry at bay." His voice was calm as he stared at Vera. "The taste will be extremely different, at first it would be a foul but it takes a couple of weeks to become used to it." Carlisle had placed a gentle hand on Vera knee as he spoke.
He was excited that he might have a chance to make a different for this young vamp and that he could help her. It would also be one less human drinker in the world and he always felt a proud at each vampire turning towards animal blood, it meant less humans dyeing.
"No more…humans will have to…die?" It sounded like a little child had done something wrong but Jasper knew exactly what she was feeling, his powers but it was the same feeling he went through when he found out that there was another way to live in the human world.
"No Vera. No more people need to die. You live in peace with them. They not much different then us" Carlisle spoke, the calmness washing over them all. There was pity in him at finding this lost creature, she appeared every bit human and he just hoped she would embrace the new life.
They would most likely have to move soon if she chose to stay and let them show her their life style, they were bound to be some accidents and having someone die in this small town would spread quick and it would lead straight back to them causing the Volturi to intervene.
"The guilt of your all victims will disappear over time Vera but I can't say it disappear altogether. Drinking animal blood, allows you to stay in one place for a couple of years. You can try and experience a humans life. You can go to school, get a job helping others. Esme is a home decorator, I'm a doctor and my kids, They all go to the high school." He gave a small smile at her chuckle, every vampire always found it funny when Carlisle spoke about them being their 'kids'.
"I would like that." She quietly muttered, relief clear on her face. She could try once and for all to try and make commends for the lives she had took but it was going to take awhile, over 500 years and a hell of a lot of dead people to clear, even those some of them did deserve death, it wasn't up to her to decide their fate.
A/N What did you think? I know it's short but I'm trying to at least get a chapter up for all my fics. Thank you for reading and don't forget to review.
