Chapter 8
Tearing Me Apart
Bella struggled against whatever was holding her down but she couldn't seem to budge it.
Her head was stuck to the side so she could see the newborn standing next to the trees looking terrified and staring into the forest where Bella couldn't see.
"What are you doing help me?" Bella hissed at the newborn
"I don't think she's going to do that do you?" Bella knew the voice and a let out a growl from deep in her chest. "Victoria"
"Yep" she moved around so she was in Bella view "looks like I caught you at a bad time" she signaled to someone and Bella was suddenly yanked up so she was on her knees. She could se all but one of the vampires Victoria had brought with her. There were two guys they looked very different one that looked about twenty with wavy black hair in jeans and a baggy black t-shirt, the other had no hair, looked to be in his thirties and was dressed like a biker with black jeans a white wife beater and a leather jacket. Chains hung from his jeans and his feet were clad in thick leather boots. In between the two guys was a young girl who looked no older than fifteen dressed in jeans a baggy plaid shirt and a thick brown jacket. Her face was a mask of fear and she kept looking around like she was trying to find a way to escape. The biker looking guy had a hand on her shoulder keeping her still.
"Aren't you over this whole vendetta thing yet?" Bella asked keeping her face defiant and hey eyes locked on Victoria.
"Not until you're dead and this time I'm pretty sure no ones coming to help you" she stroked her hand across Bella's cheek then dug her nails in and left three long scratches that started healing almost instantly "It was so easy to get you alone" she took a step back "with a little help" Bella's eyes turned to the newborn who was now leaning casually against the tree with a smirk on her face. As soon as she realized they were looking at her she moved over to stand next to Victoria. "This is Lyssa." Lyssa stared Bella in the eyes and suddenly Bella wanted to rip her throat out she growled and hissed. "Yes she has a very special gift." Lyssa moved so she was standing right next to Bella and spoke into her ear.
"The ability to cause uncontrollable rage in anyone" Lyssa explained. "Anger is a funny thing it clouds your judgment, makes you irrational even stops you from being able to concentrate. Allowing things to…" she thought for a moment "slip through the cracks."
"Can we get on with this my control is starting to slip?" a woman's voice came from behind Bella and she assumed this was the vampire she hadn't seen yet.
"Fine" Victoria hissed. She looked at the two guys. "Come here" she turned her glare on the young girl "Don't move" the girl nodded sheepishly until Victoria turned back to Bella. "Grab her arms" the guys grabbed an arm each.
"I'll start the fire" Lyssa said. Victoria turned her head to nod when she realized someone was missing. The young girl had managed to run off while they were distracted.
"Fuck" she hissed. "We'll have to move ahead without her"
"You know once you've done this they're going to track you down and tear you to pieces" Bella growled at her.
"I'm counting on it" Victoria replied as she placed her hands on either side of Bella's head. "Pull"
Alice paced the living room that had once belonged to her and her family crunching glass shards under her feet. She was replaying the events over and over again in her head trying to figure out why she had gotten so angry and why she still couldn't shake the feeling. Suddenly Olive appeared in the room making her jump.
"Don't do that" Alice growled
"What are you gonna do about it?" Alice turned to face her fists clenched. But Olive took a breath and put her hands up in surrender. "Sorry something weird is gong on"
"Yea I think you may be right"
"I have a temper but not like this. It feels like I'm being influenced by something" she looked around "where's Bella?"
"She ran after the newborn"
"How long has she been gone?"
"Too long" Alice hissed balling her fists up again
"Relax have you had any visions"
"Only fragments I can't focus"
"Ok sit, you need to calm down and focus. See if you can see where Bella is" Alice sat down on the couch and started breathing slowly in and out calming her self down. Then like a flash the vision hit and Alice was frozen to the spot.
Bella on her knees in the middle of the forest her arms being held by two different male vampires with a fire behind her. Victoria standing in front with her hands on either side of Bella's head.
"Pull" the redhead ordered with a grin. The two vampires pulled at the same time and Bella's arms came loose causing her to let out a blood curdling scream. "I'm glad that hurt" Victoria pulled on Bella's head causing cracks to appear. Then everything went black.
"Oh my god this is horrible. No, no, no this can't be happening" Alice grabbed Olive's hand and dragged her at super speed out of the house.
"What did you see?" Olive asked as they ran through the tress but Alice didn't respond. It didn't take them long to see smoke and arrive at the clearing Alice had seen in her vision. She ran up to the clearing and found nothing but the dying embers of a fire. She collapsed to her knees
"We're too late" Olive watched as she stopped moving and just stared at the fire.
"Do you mean?" Olive didn't expect an answer and she didn't need one, from the look on Alice's face she knew exactly what had happened. She stared at the pixie vampire in shock.
"This is my fault" Alice whispered "I shouldn't have let her go off on her own" she turned with blank eyes to look at Olive "I should have seen something sooner". She turned back to the fire.
"No this is that vampire bitch's fault and we're going to track her down and show her the meaning of pain". A twig snapped to Olive's left and she spun to find a teenage girl standing behind her apprehensively. Olive grabbed the girl by the throat and pushed her up against a tree. "What are you doing here?" Alice turned from the fire and was at Olive's side in an instant.
"Hiding"
"Yea not very well apparently"
"Not from you from Victoria" Olive pushed her harder into the tree
"What do you know?"
"That your friend's still alive".
So there you have it a nice new chapter for you. What do you guys think? Can any of you guess who the teenager is? And anyone who can figure out why I called the newborn Lyssa gets a cookie and a mention in the next chapter. Anyway enjoy and don't forget to review I like reviews :D
