AN: Hello everyone! Sorry for the long delay but I have been working double this weekend and when I got home I was just too exhausted to even TRY to write. In this chapter, there is profanity. This is rated as T and if you don't like reading a little bit of curse words this is where you should probably stop reading. This is where Bella is starting to change, another personality is coming into effect. This is to help shape her into another person and establish her hate for vampires. A huge huge huge thanks to Godisgood3 who always has the best ideas and suggestions! Seriously, you are a lifeline! Thanks everyone for reading this far and I promise to update more frequently! Much love always, Emily :D


The horror of what I seen, whatever it was, started flowing back into my mind. My dad, laying on the floor lifeless. My mom, screaming and thrashing on the floor then becoming motionless. Those two beautiful and strange creatures. One sucking on my mom's wrist until she was dead.

It was a like vivid nightmare that I was living. Something out of a horror film. I just wanted to wake up and get my mom, for her to listen to my nightmare. For her to tell me to stop watching scary movies and to tell me that everything's okay. I want to be able to hear her humming or embark on a new adventure with her and think how ludicrous it is. I want the peace and quiet I had with my dad. I wanted to know that they'd both be there when I got home. I wanted to go off to university, to meet new people. To maybe fall in love. I never wanted any of that, but now I knew it was possible, I wanted it more than ever. I wanted back the simplicity of my life back, even though it feels like that life was a hundred years ago.

I still felt fuzzy and groggy, as if I had been drugged. It was the same feeling when I had been put to sleep to get my wisdom teeth removed. I knew that wasn't the case, my brain just shut off. I passed out after witnessing both my parents being murdered. My head felt so heavy! It's as if everything I witnessed had weight and is placed on my head. It took all of my might to just open my eyes.

The room was horrible! There was dim lighting and it smelled horrible, like urine and sweat. The walls were a white-ish color that seemed to have yellowed over time. There were cracks in the wall and it was clear there was water damage. There was nothing else in the room, just the bed I was laying on. It seemed ironic that I was judging this place when I have more important things to think about; like where the hell am I?

I heard the door knob turn and I held my breath and my heart started to race. I wanted to look away but I couldn't. My eyes were glued to the door. I knew who would be walking in. I knew it would be those murderers. The word vampire sprang into my mind again. And I had a good idea that it wasn't far from the truth. Briskly, those two angle-demons walked in. They stood at the foot of the bed, both gazing down at me. Instinctively I moved to the head of the bed, to put as much distance between us as possible.

"Hello." The male spoke. I couldn't remember his name though I'm sure the woman said it before. I couldn't open my mouth, I just kept staring at his beautiful inhuman face. I felt uneasy, besides scared and just pissed. I had a weird feeling in my stomach. It wasn't from what I witnessed. It wasn't that I knew I was going to die, probably here. It was something else. They kept looking at each other, as if there was some sort of plan. And I could bet everything that I was a part of it.

"Hello." The woman spoke too, and my eyes shifted to her. Anger flashed through me again.

"My name is Evelyn, and this is my husband Roy." I started coming back to my senses and I nodded. I didn't want to let my anger out considering I seen what they did so I didn't trust myself to speak yet.

"What's your name?" Evelyn asked me, her voice clipped.

"Bella." My voice was low and I was unsure if they even heard me. I was still so scared of them and frazzled from what I seen to get any emotion in check. I should be screaming at them, trying to fight them but the fear was too raw; it took over the anger. The uneasy feeling still hadn't left and that was what mostly held me in place. Somewhere, probably at the back of my mind, I already knew it would be pointless to try to fight them. If there was even a speck of hope that I were to survive, I'd have to do this their way.

"Bella." Roy started, "we have a lot to discuss." The woman nodded in agreement. They had no idea how much was to be discussed!

"First. We want to get to know you." As she spoke she paced back and forth. "And then you'll get to know us."

Something flared inside me. It was the anger. It was the disgust. It was the contempt I had for those people. I wanted to be able to control it but I couldn't.

"You killed my parents!" It was blunt but I had no control over my mouth. Staring at death I should be careful of what I say but at this point I don't care. They're going to kill me anyway, they might as well hear what's on my mind. Suddenly, all my fears were gone. I wasn't scared of them anymore. In fact, I had only the one emotion, hate.

"Yes." They said in unison, glancing at each other.

"Why?"

"Because we were thirsty." Evelyn winked at me and sat back on the bed, crossing her legs.

"Who the fuck are you people?" I have only cursed a few times in my life, and only ever under my breath. It wasn't really me, in fact, I couldn't believe I was actually saying this. I was a timid person at heart, but apparently I was changing. They both looked at each other, wide eyed. There was no way I was backing down now, the anger and hate for those two people are too strong. Another part of me is coming out, a part that I never had to use before. I never got angry at anyone, ever, so I never got to actually know this side of me.

"Maybe this would work better if you got to know us first then." She waited for a reply but I never said anything, I just kept glaring at her.. She sighed and continued, as if she said this a hundred times. "We're vampires."

This should have come as a shock to me. There is no way possible that vampires could exist. They're a fairy tale, they're not real. But... but after what I seen, after I seen Roy drink my mom's blood, I believe it. There is no logical explanation for what was happening because there was none. Not a moment from the time they entered my house was logic involved. Nothing made sense except for that statement. I should have been freaked out but I wasn't.

"As you probably are thinking, we don't look like vampires. We're not dressed in black gowns, we don't have fangs, and we don't have to be invited into a house to enter. All that is bull. We act, for the most part, like humans. We socialize. We can go out and about, pretending to be normal. However, there are special things about us. We are incredibly fast." As she spoke Roy went to the other side of the bedroom in a blur. "We are strong." With one finger he broke through all of the handles on the dresser. "Also, there are things that make us the perfect hunter. Like our beauty. Its powerful, we could make any human follow us just because they think we're beautiful. Our scent, which makes us smell heavenly to you. It gives you comfort, and helps you trust us. But we rarely have to use those. It's not as if a human could ever escape us. All of our senses are heightened. We can see every speck in the air, we can hear the blood rushing through your veins, we can smell your scent, we can taste the air, and we can feel every fiber in a sheet."

My mind was spinning, trying to digest this new information. My thoughts from earlier were confirmed. They were indeed vampires. They do exist. I expected to not be able to believe it, to disregard it. But I never. The only thing hard to believe is their traits. No fangs, no coffins, etc. Everything you would normally think about vampires doesn't apply to the real them. And the fact that they look human, in a way. Besides their absurd beauty and red eyes, they'd look normal. But they're anything but normal. And they already proved that, twice.

"And you?" Roy moved back to the bed and Evelyn took a seat at the edge and studied my face. I knew it was pointless, but I started babbling. It gave me time to fully digest what was happening. To comprehend what the hell was going on.

"My name is Bella. I have lived in Arizona all my life. I recently got accepted into the university there. I love to travel and read. ". That was all I could come up with. There wasn't much more about me; that was it. That was the basics of who I am. Not only that, but I couldn't remember anything else. I was in a trance of panic.

"Interesting." Evelyn touched her lip, patting it as if she were deep in thought.

"Why did you kill my parents?"

"Like I've said before, we were thirsty. But to go into more detail, we passed your house and caught a delicious scent that screamed at us. We couldn't possibly turn it down. Apologies that you had to witness that. Well, Roy wanted to apologize." I in check. I has to be logical and rational right now. I wanted the truth before they killed me. I couldn't think of my parents. I couldn't think of anything off topic. I wanted to know the whole truth, everything, before I was gone too.

"And it was you that were killing people in the city." I meant that as a question but it came out as a statement. Both Roy and Evelyn nodded.

"Anyway, back to the best topic. See, I want to take over Alaska. The humans are spread out enough that we could feed as much as we wanted to without ever getting caught. It's the perfect environment for us. There are small covens there, that's a group of vampires living together, and I want that territory. However, they know how good it is there too and, wouldn't give it up freely. The only way to get their land is to create an army. To battle them for it. I have been thinking of it, planning it, and it's going into action now. We're going to change you, Bella. You're going to become one of us. You'll be the first to join our new coven."

There were no words to describe how I was feeling, except the only word floating in my empty mind.

"No. Go to hell." The word just flew out. I had no control of it. I went to sit up and make a run for it even after hearing and seeing their ability.

"Bella, you don't have a choice." Evelyn said, not even moving."It's not going to hurt Bella."

"Fuck you." More profanity shot from my mouth and I was as stunned as they both looked.

"Listen here. We chose to keep you alive. You don't have a choice in this matter, I wasn't asking you if you wanted to be changed. I'm telling you, you little bitch. And if you try to run for it, you'll be quite sorry. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. And it'll only be easy or hard for you. Either way, I get what I want."

I glared at her, every ounce of hate I had for that woman was coming out in that one stare. If looks could kill she'd be dead. I didn't move, I didn't even blink.

"Bella, we're going to inject the venom into your blood stream with a needle. Normally, the pain would be excruciating but we learnt that using enough morphine would kill off the pain. I have it all here, you won't feel a thing." Roy looked at me apologetically, it was obvious that she had control over him.

Without having time to think or react, she pinned me down, covering my mouth. I tried and tried to move but it was impossible. She was as hard as a boulder. I didn't even budge! Roy blurred out the door and came back in with a large suitcase. He opened it up and lifted it up so I could see what was inside. It was literally completely full of needles. Hundreds. He dumped them onto the bed and picked one up. Specifically. I started to scream and tried to move frantically but it was useless, the more I tried to move the harder she pressed down. I swear to God if she pressed any harder my ribs would have broke.

"This one is to put you asleep. It's easier for the both of us this way." Without another word or a warning, he jabbed it in my arm. I could almost feel it going through the veins. I wanted to fight, I wanted to even though I knew it was absurd. But before I could even fully think of doing it, my eyes shut and I was out.
