"She won't; she'll never know what's happened to her and why." The young vampire's red eyes flashed. "And then we can rest peacefully forever."

Chapter 8

Bella's POV

A few minutes after I waited in silence for Edward to speak, he suddenly became rigid in my arms. I found him no longer staring off into space but honing in to a certain spot in the trees.

For once, I knew exactly what was going on. My extra-sensitive hearing detected something on four legs that was slowly sauntering its way over to the Cullen's ... our house. Momentarily borrowing Edward's gift, I could tell the creature meant us no harm. The creature stepped out (this thingwas covered from head to tail in a light-brownish fur, although it looked more like a lizard that anything) into the open and called out something unintelligible; it kind of sounded a little like an old version of french. Carlisle must have understood it, for he walked calmly out of his home and began a small conversation with it. And then it glanced over at me, it's sharp eyes flitting between me and Edward and away, following Carlisle's conversation with little effort. I finally found the courage to speak up.

"What does it want?" I whispered, and I knew the others heard me as well as Edward.

"She said she is most commonly called an Ancient One and is disabled somehow by those vampires like Victori and James-" I flinched at his name "-that only drink human blood," said Carlisle, who had finished taling to th creature and had run back into the house. "OH, and her name is Tesarah."

Unknown POV

"I don't know if I'm strong enough," whined Riley.

Victoria glanced over at him. "You will be," she encouraged. "All you have to do is..." The two began to talk in whispers. Victoria suddenly looked up, her eyes blazing. "And then I will have my revenge!"

"And we can be together without interuptions forever," added Riley.

If only they knew how wrong they both were.
