The Fire's Fire
Chapter 7: Confrontations
Previously on The Fire's Fire: What am I saying? I will not drink animal blood. I am not a Cullen. I will never be like the Cullens. Never.
Chapter 7:
Days passed and I was quite happy. Happier than I had been for a long time.
I had tried animal blood. I couldn't keep it down. It was very disgusting. I had tasted nothing worse in my entire existence. That horrible taste didn't leave me for a few days.
The idea to drink animal blood instead of human blood went quickly after that incident.
The people I had killed for blood were disposed off in a much safer way than I had previously done. There was a much smaller chance that I would be caught.
They were stuffed into the burner, so the bodies could burn and no evidence that they were killed would lead back to me or the existence of the vampire species.
On my way back from the burner I used, the wolves actually found me walking along the border. It was quite awkward.
There was a
little stand off between me and a whole pack of angry volatile wolves.
They bared the teeth at me and growled. It lasted for around three minutes.
Eventually I had to end it by fleeing off into the night to find a much better journey back from the burner.
~OooO~
School during the weeks was really quite boring. Nothing much happened to keep me interested. Everyone needed to learn but why not make it a bit more intriguing.
All the while that I was in school, Victoria's face stained my brain. I could think of nothing else. It was like she was ingrained into my mind. Nothing could scratch it out.
Whenever I tried my hardest to think up something to forget her death-like face, her face jumped out again, she was everywhere! I could not escape her. I was in my own personal mind-torture game, made by Victoria herself.
~OooO~
In biology one day, something made my day better than it started "Bella" said the mesmerising voice.
"Hello" I said, turning to face the voice.
"How are you today?" he said smiling.
"Plain" I said sighing "What about you?"
"Better now" he said, smiling.
The biology lesson was fine, we talked while we worked. I finished quite quickly, all the work at high school is effortless, I might as well leave, but leaving would raise suspicion, down to me not going to any other high school in the district. Why did I think this was a good idea? When did I become too quick to make foolish decisions?
~OooO~
The next biology lesson, it was announced that we needed to recap all of what we had learned in the last few weeks because we would be tested.
As there would be a test.
"Shall we revise together?" Edward said.
"Yeah" I said happily.
"You weren't here for the first lesson, I could help you?" He offered.
"Yes. Thank you."
"Should we start tonight then?" He suggested "The library? At 4?
"Cool with me" I said, delighted that he had finally started to like me, a huge leap from when we first met. I still have not forgotten how rude he was, maybe now I could start to let that go.
I arrived at the Library at exactly 4pm, waiting for his arrival, so we could begin our little study session.
I waited for over an hour, I sat at a table with my biology text book. Every few minutes I kept glancing at the clock. After an long and boring hour of waiting, I gave up.
He had stood me up!
Walking out of the library, the reason why he didn't come hit me. It was down to the sun! It was still day time! The sun was tail shining brightly. It had been a cloudy day but only came out of hiding only recently, so Edward couldn't go to the library to study! I needed to confront him about being a vampire. All the facts of him being a vampire where right in front of me, like they were sitting on a chair waving at me, like an insanity patient yelling 'I'm right here!'.
My excuse had to be good, if it wasn't then my long kept secret could be exposed. Which could be the main cause of my downfall.
The Cullens could know Victoria, feeling betrayed by me they would take me right to her! Best to not let my secret slip then.
~OooO~
As I was walking to my little den that I had recently made in the forest.
Along the road, I saw a familiar face in the shop window, with my vampiric speed, I whipped my head around to what could have been reflected in the window.
There was nothing there.
I swore I saw Victoria's face. It chilled me to the bone. An ice cold shiver ran down my spine.
This could not be a coincidence. She must be lurking around Forks to learn my weaknesses and kill me or use my weaknesses against me.
Nothing frightened me more. Seeing her again was like a knife to my stomach.
~OooO~
The next day I texted Edward to meet me in a forest. It was nowhere near a road or where I was staying.
Mostly because it wasn't that sunny, the trees blocked out most of the suns rays. It was a perfect location to confront him.
~OooO~
"Bella" said a voice "You wanted to meet?" He was standing behind me, looking like his usual self.
"Yes." I said calmly, trying to act nervous.
"Please do not hurt me or leave. I need to know" I said.
"What do you need to know?" He asked walking towards me.
I slowly backed away.
"What are you?" I demanded.
He froze.
"What are you?" I demanded with more fury.
He was still frozen, trying to comprehend what I was saying.
"What are you?" I yelled.
"A vampire" he said, he had finally realised that he had offered me clues as to what he was.
I backed up, trying my hardest to act frightened.
"Speed, senses, bloodlust, ageless" he lists "Sparkling" he pauses before walking into a small opening of light.
"Wow" I say breathlessly, I had not seen a vampire sparkle in ages. If I was actually a human, this would actually be my reaction.
I spend the rest of the day learning things about Edward and vampirism that I had already known but it's always nice to hear someone else's side.
Life looks amazing right now. Until I look behind Edward to see that face. The one I truly dread.
Authors Note:
…Hello….
I am alive. Do not kill me! *runs and hides*
I am back. I promise. I am writing the epilogue now.
In confidence, I will try and post them daily or even hourly! There are ten chapters in total, I honestly think that you will love them, but they have lots of suspense and danger.
I am sorry if this chapter feels rushed, but there was a lot that happens..
I do admit, this chapter was hard to write for several reasons. 1. I haven't read Twilight in ages and 2. I normally write in third person, but now its done! :)
(SlightlyStrangeGirl, this was my secret story!)
I know that I posted this over a year ago, but I kept getting torturous writers block and there is nothing you can do to get rid of it.
I have gone back and edited the last couple of chapters, I changed a lot which if you haven't read the newest version then the next few chapters will not make much sense.
There was a time jump between last chapter and this chapter, if you didn't notice it!
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight
Please review, they mean the world to me, I may just update a few hours earlier...
Until the next chapter is posted,
-TwilightMortal
