Chapter 7: Mysterious Past

Bella's POV

There was something about Nessie that made me feel protective over her. I didn't know why but I was drawn to her in a way that I had never been drawn to anyone before. It was strange but I had felt that way since I first saw her. It was like we connected instantly. Even before I knew what she was. I wondered if she felt the strange connection to or was it just me? I wish I could ask but I'd probably sound crazy if I did.

She was a special and unique girl. She was also alone. Well, she did have a family, but she was one of a kind. No one could ever truly understand her because of what she was. It must feel weird to be half one species and half another. I wonder how she felt about it. She must feel so alone in this. Having no other hybrids that she could relate to.

Maybe that's why I was so drawn to her. Loneliness was something that I understood all too well. I was alone. I had been alone since I 'woke up' into this life with no one and no memory.

The first memory I have is the burning. Intense fiery burning. It felt like it would consume my insides. Destroy everything in its path that was inside my body. I was certain that it had eaten away my memories. I could only wish, hope, and pray that they would somehow miraculously return one day. It didn't seem possible though.

When the fire stopped and I opened my eyes for the first time I realized that I was completely underground. I had been buried alive. I panicked and dug my way out quickly and fled the area. That area turned out to be a cemetery.

I ran as far north as I possibly could until I hit Alaska. When I told Nessie that I had never met another vampire lied. I did meet one up there. Her name was Tanya Denali.

Tanya told me what I was and she told me that my name was Isabella Swan. Apparently she did know me when I was human. She told me that I had no family. That my family had all died in a car accident. That I had been alone for the last year of my human life and I was better off alone now. She also didn't want anyone to know that had we had met. So I promised her that I would never tell anyone about her. So that's why I lied to Nessie. After Tanya I never did meet another vampire so I was still alone. A vampire alone in the human world.

That was until I met Nessie of course. She seemed just as lost and alone as I was. Even though she was half vampire I felt the urge to protect her from any possible danger. I know it was strange to feel that way about her since I just met her but I could not help it. Just there was something about her that stirred these feelings in me.

I sighed and went back to analyzing her venom. I was telling the truth when I said that I became interested in biology to better understand what I was. The more I studied it the more I was sure that she could change vampires into humans and vice versa.

When I looked up at the clock I was surprised by how late it was getting. I decided to head out to one of the city libraries for the evening. It was already dark enough that I would be able to go outside undetected.

While I was walking to the library I saw Nessie and that Eric boy walking together. However I also saw two men hiding nearby and neither one of them seemed to notice.

I got a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach so I started to follow them from a distance that I wouldn't be detected at.

Then one of them pulled out a gun and aimed at the two of them. I sprinted into action just as he fired the gun.

I pushed Nessie and Eric out of harm's way just in time. Instead the bullet hit me and broke into a million pieces.

"What the hell are you?!" one of them men shouted in fear.

"Bella-"

"You two get out of here. I'll deal with these murderous scumbags"

"Bella how-"

"Now Nessie!" I yelled just as the other man was about to shoot. My frustration at them for not running for their lives only increased. Thank god they both listened just in time as the other man pulled out a gun to shoot.

I grabbed the man and twisted the hand with the gun so badly that I was sure it would never be of any use ever again. He yelled out in pain.

"How dare you! That girl was ours!"

"Yours?!" I yelled angrily. "So what was your plan then?! Kill the boy and harm the girl?!" I growled angrily.

They were to scared to say anything. They were going to kill Eric and harm Nessie. Probably rape her and then kill her. That was all that I needed to know about these pieces of trash.

"Please don't hurt us"

"Don't hurt you?!" I screamed. "Don't hurt you?! You certainly have no qualms about hurting innocent people for your own selfish reasons do you? What were you going to do? Answer me honestly. Kill the boy? Then rape the girl and possibly kill her to? How many people have you hurt in the past? So why should I spare your lives?"

"You're a monster! You're not human! The bullet should have-"

"You're right. I'm not human. But I'm more humane then either of you two pieces of crap"

"No-"

I went for their throats.
