A/N: Here's another chapter, I ended up with too much free time. Hope you guys give me your input.(I had a 4 a.m. final and the teacher was late. Who does that on finals day.)

Note: When some demons are in their human form, it would depend on how they catch a human. Demons disguised as children work on the human's concern for their well being. Those who disguise themselves as adults work on flirting with the humans. Their human form is there to lure their prey.

{ }-Bella's thoughts in demon's minds

1956 Miami

"Hurry up Jonah! Don't tell me the wind elementer can't handle a little speed." Bella grinned at him and was given a slightly wicked grin. Bella and Dolce zoomed past Jonah, their speed gaining as they flew over the cars. Jonah's jaw was clenched, but he let out a laugh and with a burst of speed past Bella.

"I'll show you speed." Jonah said reaching 70mph. The three of them flew for half an hour, before Jonah slowly came to stop. "Stop! This is where the demon was going to make the contract. Now that I think about it, maybe I should have followed the human." Jonah pondered, landing on the steps.

{Dolce. Stay close to us, I don't know what kind of demon we're dealing with.} Making sure Dolce understood, Bella stared into her green eyes. "Understood master." With her agreement, the pair headed into the abandoned building. "Come on you two, and make sure you're quiet. Stay alert."

Looking around the three story building, Bella saw trash littered all over the corridors. "Master. I could feel a demon presence. It's the same one that had lingered around Miss Swan's friends." Dolce said quietly, Bella quickly fanned out her senses. I was afraid of that. {Careful Dolce. Try and hide your energy a bit more.}

"Bella, can you feel that?" Jonah nudged his head towards the stairs, his throat tight and itching. Bella felt like she had pins and needles stabbing her flesh when she swallowed. "I do now."

If Bella was honest with herself she would admit to being afraid. Why do the walls feel like they're closing in? Reaching another hallway, the pair peaked over the ledge, there collapsed in the center of the room was a woman.

"Shit. I thought you said the human ran away." Bella hissed through her teeth. Keeping her eyes on the woman, a sense of dread filled her body. "Master, there is more than one demon working here."Dolce said, removing her sword and getting into a defensive position. "Well we are in deep shit." Jonah stepped away from the ledge, pulling Bella with him.

" I'm sorry Bella, but I don't have any tricks up my sleeve that can help us. Only one plan can work, but it's dangerous and risky." Jonah whispered, clenching his fists. If it's the only way...we have to do it. Meeting Dolce's eyes, Bella gave their only option, "The demons inside are of the lower class, but they have numbers in their favour. Sigh….We need to split up."

Bella's proposal was met with a nod from Jonah, and a vehemently no from Dolce. "Master I don't wish to go against your orders, but I do not think that plan is a good idea. There is a chance your or Jonah can be seriously injured." Maintaining eye contact, Bella refused to falter under her servant's glare. { I know it's dangerous Dolce. That's why I'm going to summon another one of my servants. So please, don't be afraid for my well being too much.} After a few more reassuring words, Dolce gave her agreement, earning a small smile from Jonah and Bella.

"To that whose name I call, come forth and do what I command you for. Edlyn! Eira!Come to me!" Bella chanted, summoning two of her strongest guards. There kneeling in front of Bella, were two girls,eight year old twins. One of them had immediately contrasted with the damp, dark, and eerie corridor. While the other looked like it would blend in the background with it's clothes.

Her hair resembled untouched snow, her skin was deathly pale, she wore a white denim jacket,her deep blue eyes matched her jeans that covered her bare feet, and on the right side of her neck was the symbol of Bella's servants. Edlyn. The other girl had the same features as Edlyn except she wore all black. Her emerald eyes reflected knowledge, and her servant's mark was on the left side of her neck. Eira.

Edlyn and Eira. The ones who saved Bella from dieing when an avalanche had occurred. A pair of her strongest and loyal demons. "Master, you have summoned us. What is your bidding?" The two girls said in sync. Giving the girls a smirk, Bella tugged them both to their feet and pushed them to stand with Dolce.

"You three are going to get rid of the lower demons while Jonah and I find their ring leader. And yes, I will be very careful with my actions." Bella said, adding the last part when the twins showed concern. "Yes master." The three servants said, heading into the opposite direction of Jonah and Bella. {Remember. I want you all to be on guard at all time.} Jonah nudged Bella, "I'm sure they'll be fine. They are upper class after all, come on. Lets look over there."

The duo walked closer to the collapsed woman with caution. {Careful don't know if she still has her mind intact.} "I'll be careful." Jonah whispered, inching closer to the center. They kept walking until the woman was four feet away from them. "Wait here. I'll go and if she is dangerous, make sure you're ready to attack." Jonah slowly closed the distance to the woman, Bella's eyes turned electric blue and her hands became covered in blue flames.

Right when the Jonah rolled over the body, the woman let out a blood curling scream. Shit! Ouch! {Jonah that's a banshee! Kill it already.} In less than a minute, Jonah had severed the banshee's head by using the wind to tear her apart. "Well now the enemy is aware we're here." Jonah dryly said, rubbing his own ears.

The pair suddenly felt a massive amount of soul energy, before they were ambushed by at least a dozen middle class demons. "Damn it! I should have never agreed to help you. This is just like the tavern all over again." Bella joked, avoiding the demons' attempts at removing her head. Jonah's response was a grunt when a demon managed to sucker punch him in the gut.

Jonah and Bella took twenty-five minutes to defeat and drain all of the demons in the room. Despite them being far stronger than the ones they fought, their size in numbers had Bella panting for air. Running a hand through her hair Bella decided on a new plan. " Okay, now that we've checked on the supposed human. We can go look for the ring leader, I say he's on the top floor."

"Jonah's chest heaves as adrenaline continues to run through his veins. "Well what are we waiting for, lets go. We can get to the top floor from here without using the stairs." Jonah said as he and Bella launched themselves to the third floor. Dolce and the others were supposed to check the second floor,calm down...Just like Jonah said, I'm sure they're fine.

Landing on the third floor was less than perfect. Bella had slipped on the flooded floor, slamming on her back. Ouch! That's definitely going to bruise. "Shut it. Not one word Jonah, or I swear I will drain your soul energy." Bella threatened Jonah, who was looking far too amused for her liking. Taking Jonah's hand the pair began to check the rooms.

"Well that's the only door left so….go ahead and open the door Bella." Jonah said, pushing Bella forward. Glaring at Jonah, Bella reached for the door handle. " You are older than me by eleven years, you should be doing this." Bella muttered, opening the door where two demons were waiting.

"These two have wonderful energy, they would make a good addition to our power." The demon on the left said with his gravelly voice. He was at least 6ft tall, veins popping out of his arms, but his hands were the same as any human hands. The one on the right had resembled the first one perfectly. "An elementer and a summoner. What a treat. I'm going to enjoy eating you."

Jonah and Bella were standing side by side as they faced the demons. "I'll take the one on the left you handle the one on the right." Jonah said, the wind outside started making a howl. One upper class demon for each of us then. {Alright Jonah, we can handle this.} The demon on the left suddenly rushed forward, grabbing Jonah and threw him through the wall.

He's okay. He's okay. Focus on your fight. Bella kept repeating in her head. Fighting the demon was harder than Bella originally thought, avoiding attacks Bella was winning her battle. Until she was caught off guard by a baseball bat hitting the back of her head, leaving an opening for her opponent. Being thrown on the wall left Bella feeling numb, but she forced her eyes open, only coming face to face with a double vision of the demon.

Bella forced her body to obey, ignoring the pain that was shooting through her body and her blurred vision. When the demon came close, Bella covered her fists with the same blue fire, and managed to get a few punches in. She was doing fairly well with her impaired vision, until a punched pushed her to the wall. The air was knocked out of her lungs, and her head began spinning. Looking at the oncoming enemy Bella wondered which one of her double visions she should dodge.

Right when her body made a choice, the demon was pierced with several shards made up of diamonds. The demon was left frozen in midair, inches before Bella's body. The diamond shards then shaped themselves into hands, before tearing the demon limb from limb. Standing behind the demon was Edlyn, looking at the dismembered demon with piercing blue eyes. "Bella are you okay?" Edlyn said, focusing on ripping the demon a few more times.

Bella's shoulders slumped as she heaved a sigh of relief. "Yeah no worries, I'm fine. Mostly." Bella said running a hand through her hair, searching for a dent. Once the threat was gone, Edlyn's cold eyes turned into worry as she jumped into Bella's arms. "I'm so glad I made it in time." Relief flooded Edlyn's body even if pain was flooding into Bella's.

"Ouch!Okay!Yeah, I'm fine, but you're kind of hurting my bruised ribs."Bella managed to squeek. With a thought, Bella's body straightened, once Edlyn was standing on the ground. "What about Jonah is he okay and what of the others?" Bella said, worried for her servants and friend. Edlyn took Bella's hand, and led her into the hallway where Jonah was being healed by Eira.

They're okay. Bella's body sagged with relief of seeing everyone okay. Walking toward them, Bella could see that only her and Jonah had sustained injuries. Meeting Dolce's eyes had Bella almost hoping her concussion knocked her out. Anger...Insane anger was reflected from Dolce's usually cool eyes. I survived an assault and now I'm going to be massacred.

Bella braced herself for a scolding when Dolce walked towards her, but was only given a gentle hug and a 'glad you're okay master'. Deciding not to tempt Dolce, Bella slowly walked over to Eira. Sparing Jonah a reassuring look, Bella sat down and waited for her turn. Soon Eira was done healing Jonah, so she moved on to Bella's wounds. A cool green liquid flowed over Bella's cuts, closing any open wound on her body. Unlike Jonah's, Bella didn't have that many cuts….only broken bones.

"Alright both of you are healed, but Jonah you have three broken ribs and your soul energy is too low so you should avoid any confrontations with any demon regardless of class. And you Bella," Eira's voice caused Bella to flinch away from her, "You have two broken ribs, a concussion, and your soul energy is lower than a human's. So I can guarantee that you aren't going to win any fights."

Bringing Eira into her embrace, Bella just kept reassuring her that she is still alive. {It's a given that I'm going to get bruised, but you guys were with me so I'm going to I really was being careful} Pulling away from the hug, Eira stared into Bella's eyes for a lie. "Both of your bones should heal quickly, and once you regain your soul energy it'll speed up the process." Eira said in her doctor tone.

Looking into the room where she fought, Bella caught sight of the baseball bat. "Hey Jonah. Did you opponent throw a baseball bat?" Hearing Jonah reply with a confused voice, Bella slowly rose to her feet and walked to pick up the bat. "While I was fighting this bat was thrown at my head, it caused me to lose focus on my fight." Bella explained, peering at the bat with curiosity.

"Master, that bat doesn't have a demon's scent, it only smells of human." Edlyn said, sniffing the baseball bat. A human threw the bat at me? Leaning against the door frame, Jonah added his own input. "Well we were distracted with the demons. We still need to look for the human who was going to fulfill the contract. Dolce do you recognize this scent? I remember this scent hovering on you earlier."

Dolce's eyes widened, realization flooding her features. Taking a whiff of the baseball, Dolce stared at Bella with concerned eye. " Master we need to get to Miss Swan immediately." Bella's face was drained of it's colour, leaving Bella pale. The five of them ran out of the building before taking to the air. I won't be late.!Not again! Not another one!

2005 WA

Bella POV

"What are you doing?" A musical voice said, staring down at Bella.

"Mo...R-Rosalie. I...I was just washing my face." Bella said, avoiding any form of eye contact with the woman. Why is she talking to me, doesn't she know she's making it worse. A pale finger appeared under Bella's chin, lifting her head to stare at Rosalie's eyes. Bella and Rosalie were only a foot away, too close for Bella's comfort. "Who are you really?" Rosalie asked, her eyes showing an intense determination.

"Wha...I don't….I'm…" With a sigh, Bella grew determined, " I'm Bella Swan-Ha一"

"I didn't know we had guests over. Aren't you going to even introduce us Rosalie?" An angelic voice cut Bella's words as well as the air in her lungs. Without Rosalie's grip on her chin, Bella turned to greet the new voice only to completely freeze. Wow. Gorgeous.

Standing in front of Bella was easily the most beautiful girl she's ever seen. The curly blonde woman looked flawless in a tight fitting black trouser suit, putting emphases on her curves, and two inch heels. Her hair was wavy as it fell over her shoulders. Bella just continued to stare, she stopped blinking,thinking, and breathing. "Bella! Focus! These woman are succubi, don't let your guard down!" Pelo's voice snapped bella back into reality.

Biting her lip, Bella turned her gaze to the floor, avoiding any chance of meeting the succubus' enchanting gold eyes. Wait, gold eye? They're supposed to be red, and her soul energy doesn't match with a regular succubus. It's more like Alice's or Esme's energy. Gathering all the courage she had left, Bella met the succubus' gaze and offered a warm smile.

"Hi, Alice invited me over. I'm Bella Swan, it's lovely to meet you." The strange woman looked into Bella's eyes with amusement and another emotion. Longing? Can't be she doesn't even know me. Maybe for my soul energy. The stranger took Bella's hand and offered her own warm smile. "Tanya Denali, and it's lovely to meet you as well Bella."

The way Tanya said her name caused a shiver to run up Bella's spine. What kind of succubus is Tanya. I was never this effected by the others. Tanya and Bella remained connected with their hands until Rosalie let out a fake cough. Embarrassed, Bella snatched her hand back and looked towards the first floor, missing the heated glare Tanya directed at Rosalie.

"Well, umm...I'm going to head back downstairs." Bella said making her escape to the stairs. {Pelo. Meet me by the stairs now.} Bella was getting a strange vibe from the occupants in the house. "I can't Bella..They have me in their clutches." Pelo said weakly. Looking over to Pelo almost caused Bella to miss a step. Pelo was now in another brunette's lap, while two other succubi were stroking her fur. {The hell are you doing?}

"Oh Bella. I want to introduce you to our cousins from Alaska. That's Irina,Kate,Carmen, and I heard you already met Tanya…." The rest of Alice's introduction was lost to Bella for her focus was on Pelo. Cousins? So one of the men have to be incubi, but I didn't sense anything from them. {Pelo these succubi are weaker than the ones I fought, while they have their energy it's too weak.} "Oh ya, you're right. I don't think these women can even control their soul energy, but they could be those who are born with only a succubus' beauty. Either way we have to be careful." Pelo said, being uncharacteristic with her serious voice.

A pale hand appeared in front of Bella's face,again. "Bella you okay?" Now everyone was in the living room and staring at Bella. I don't know what to do. A peace of calm suddenly took over Bella's body, causing her to look out into the forest. Who is throwing these emotions at me? A demon. "Umm...Yeah, I'm fine. It's just it seems like my emotions are all over the place." Bella said, again feeling a peace of calm. Although this time, Bella used her soul energy to push the emotion away.

Looking at everyone in the room, Bella was now aware that their eyes were wider than before. Seeing Jasper giver her a curious expression had just confused her even more. "Hey Jasper. Do you want to ask me something?" Bella said, surprised with how confident her voice sounded. Jasper had snuck a glance at Alice before meeting Bella's eyes. "Bella. What are you feeling right now?" Jasper's question caught Bella as well as the others off guard.

"Honestly, I'm starting to feel like an exhibit with you all just staring at me." Bella replied, her hand rubbing the back of her neck. Thankfully, Esme swooped in and ushered people to the other room. "Come on Alice. I still have time before I have to head home." Bella said, sitting down on the couch with Pelo. "We can keep getting to know each other."

Alice just stared at Bella for a few seconds, until she gave a grin and sat down on the other side of Pelo. "It's your turn to ask a question." Alice looked excited with the opportunity to learn more about each other. "Okay. Umm.."

"Bella ask about her memories. We should see how much of her memories the demon took." Pelo said, enjoying Alice's cool hands on her back.

"Alright. What's your favourite memory when you were a child?"

"Actually..I don't remember any of my memories from before Esme and Carlisle adopted my favourite memory is meeting Jasper." Alice said, her voice never wavered from a happy tone.

That demon took all of her childhood long has it been attached to Alice. Bella clenched her fists unconsciously, her knuckles turning white without their blood flow. {Pelo. We are going to find that demon. That is not an option.} With Bella's thoughts, Pelo was inclined to agree, also upset with the memory snatcher. "Bella it's okay. You don't need to worry about it, you didn't know." Alice said, holding Bella's hands to comfort her.

"I'm so sorry Alice. I'll send them tonight. You will get your memories back." Bella said, her last words were barely mumbled under her breath. Alice's eyes looked at Bella suspicion before deciding to ask her the same question. My favourite memory? I have a lot.

"My favourite memory was when I played with my real mom at the park. You would think she was the type to never just run around for fun, but she always had time for me. She was my whole world. I felt like if I left her, she would break so I did everything to keep her smiling." A nostalgic smile covered Bella's face. An understanding smile was on Alice's face as the pair remain quiet to hold onto the serene atmosphere.

"You must miss her." The way Alice said it, made it a fact instead of a question. Giving a small nod, Bella excused herself to get some fresh air. {Pelo can you just stay with Alice, I just need to think.} Walking onto the Cullen's porch was calming, the cool air, the forest smell, and the beautiful sunset. "Sight!" Enhancing her eyes, Bella could see the demons who were playing with each other."I do miss her, even after all these years." Bella said reflecting on the last seventy-two years of her life.

"It's okay to miss someone you care deeply about." Bella glanced at the door, to find Tanya leaning against it with her arms crossed. A gasp almost escaped her mouth when her enhanced vision pointed out how stunning Tanya looked with the sunset, Bella's heart sped up when she met Tanya's alluring eyes. She's not a demon, she only has a few succubus genes. Calm down. Tanya walked towards Bella, but Bella was focused on the extra swing of her hips. With a smirk, Tanya leaned on the porch and looked up to the sky.

"We've all lost people Bella. Just like you I lost a mother, but you can't let their deaths kill you. Make the most of your life, enjoy living so you don't lose yourself in your sadness." Tanya said softly, looking into Bella's eyes like she found the answer to her life question.

Without meaning to Bella found herself reaching out to gently brush Tanya's hair out of her eyes. What are you doing!? This is not one of your servants, this is Tanya. The woman you just met less than an hour ago, you can't just go touching their hair. "Thank you Tanya. I really appreciate it." Bella said, trying to cover up her embarrassing moment and her blush.

"It's okay Bella.." Tanya said gently touching Bella's chin, who was avoiding her gaze, so their gazes would meet. "I'm glad I was able to help you." When Bella looked back, Tanya gave her a kind smile. Bella's heart was now racing, flying through the air never got her heart to beat this fast, but all Bella felt was a strange kind of calm.

Realizing how close they were to each other, Bella took a few steps back. Bella started to ramble nonsense while she looked inside the house. By chance, Bella was able to see Tanya from the mirror on the wall behind the piano. The expression in her dark gold eyes when they looked her way was with so much...longing….such warmth….

"Bella. It's time to head back home." Pelo said softly. {Alright. Meet me at the door.} Looking back at Tanya, Bella disengaged her eyesight and gave a small smile. " I should start heading home now. Thanks for the conversation, it was relaxing." Tanya's smile seemed sad, but gave a quiet goodbye. Walking back inside the house, Bella went to gather her stuff.

"Hey Alice, I have to get going or else Charlie will worry." Looking at Alice, Bella was confused with her blank face. "Alice..Alice, you okay?"

Finally, Alice blinked and her eyes adjusted to look at Bella's form. "Will you be alright driving out of our driveway?" Alice looked concerned and…. suspicious. "I could come with you?"

Shaking her head, Bella said her thanks to Alice and Esme for having her. Then she started to walk back to her car. "Let their deaths kill you, huh." Bella pondered on Tanya's words during her walk to the car. "What can kill you Bella?" Pelo asked, hopping into the pickup truck.

"That's just it Pelo. What kills you isn't what stops your heart from beating, it's what prevents you from living." With that, Bella pulled her truck out of the Cullen's driveway.
