TRIGGER WARNING: Drug use, self injury and violence against scum bags.

Chapter 8:

As her teeth parted flesh, Rosalie felt her senses expand. She hadn't realized how much depriving her body of it's natural food source had weakened her. Her eyes flashed to the door, which she had hastily replaced on it's hinges. She then zeroed in on the onyx eyes of her mate as they fed from one of her attackers.

As the life left his body, they simultaneously disengaged and his body dropped to the floor. Stepping over his crumpled form Rose embraced Bella and pulled her bloody mouth in to an intense kiss. Moments later they parted locking eyes once again.

"That was fucking incredible. That tasted a bit like justice." Bella smiled.

"Yeah, it was. I can't believe I let Carslile lead me to believe that feeding on humans was unnatural. The only thing more natural than ending this piece of filth is being with you." Rosalie's face softened with her last few words.

Bella would have blushed if she could have. She looked down at the desiccated remains of her once attacker. He had been powerless against her as she had once been against him. The was the first step of many in her journey, but it felt good.

"We need to take care of this body. Then I need to check in on my old room mate."

"Sure love." Rosalie scooped up the body effortlessly. "I'll be back in a jiff."

She jumped out the window overlooking the alley. Bella watched from above as she tossed his body in a dumpster, then jumped back up.

"I'll come and get that later, make sure no one finds it."


They strolled through campus at a human pace, the stink of humanity was overwhelming. Bella's eyes flicked back and forth, tracking the boys that smelled most similar to her most recent meal. It was the odor of violent intent. She was saddened and shocked by the significant population carrying the smell.

The couple had finally come to her old dorm and were climbing the stairs. Bella placed a hand on Rosalie's arm, stopping her ascent.

"Remember the night I was turned? I asked if you would still love me, even as you found out more of my secrets. You're about to see the beginning of one."

Without a backward glance the brunette strode up to a door on the left and knocked. The blonde scrambled to keep up with her. The door opened revealing a gaunt looking girl. Her blank eyes lit up when she saw Bella. She threw herself out the door and wrapped her skinny arms around the vampire's marble torso.

"I never thought I'd see you again!" she exclaimed. "It's been lonely..."

She released Bella and took a step back inviting the couple into her room. The smell told Rosalie that this girl hadn't been leaving her room much. As her eyes roamed her tiny frame she took in the small details that humans may over look. There were purple bruises under her eyes. Her cheeks were slightly hollow. Her eyes were dry and red. Rose could smell the blood from torn capillaries in her nose. She could also smell old blood, Bella's blood.

"Anna, I'm sorry I left without talking to you." Bella began. "I had to get out of here in order to stop, to feel safe. It looks like you're still seeing Jerry pretty regularly though."

Anna shrugged her narrow shoulders and looked down. "I'm glad you got away from all this B. I really am. But I'm not like you. I don't have somewhere to run to." She looked back up into newly ruby eyes, her human mind replacing the color with something more natural.

"I'm gonna be here a few days Anna, and this time when I leave you're coming with me." Bella stated resolutely.

She gently squeezed the girls shoulder before getting up. "Come on, we need to find Jerry." she spoke sub sonically. Rosalie didn't hesitate to follow her out the door.


Bella pulled out her cell phone and quickly dialed Jake. After two rings he answered.

"Bella!" he greeted her joyously.

"Hey Jake! I need a favor, and I need you not to ask too many questions."

"Anything for you Bells, you know that." he replied almost indignantly.

"So you know how I was in trouble before I came back home. The trouble you could smell on me?"

"Yeah..." he trailed off.

"Well, I'm visiting a college friend. She's in the same trouble. I want to bring her home with me. Can you keep her safe on the reservation while she... detoxes?" Bella asked.

"Yeah, I can do that. But why can't you watch her?"

"No questions remember? I just can't right now. I'll also need you to pick her up from Charlie's place for me in two days."

"Okay Bella, I trust you to know what you're doing. But one day, you're gonna need to give me an explanation."

Rosalie was silently putting all the pieces together while she waited for Bella to finish her conversation. Anna was a drug user. Bella had been a drug user. Someone named Jerry supplied them with drugs. Now she knew why they had to find Jerry. Questions could come later, and they would.


Jerry was standing by the alley next to his dorm building. Several people had approached him and exchanged cash for small baggies filled with various pills and powders. During a lull in his business the vampires approached, like big cats stalking unsuspecting prey.

"Bella! Is that really you?" the dealer exclaimed. "You're looking good girl, and I see you brought a friend. Can I hook you up with the usual? Consider it a gift from an old friend."

Rosalie growled and lunged forward gripping the man by his throat. "You shouldn't speak to your superiors like that boy." she hissed.

Bella was grinning from ear to ear watching her mate get so protective. "Let's take a walk Jerry. I want to show you something."

She crooked her finger at Rosalie and they began walking towards the alley housing their last meal. Once they were standing by the dumpster, Bella tore off the lid and lifted Jerry from the ground. She held him over it's open maw in clear view of the body it held.

"This could be you Jerry. And it will be if I hear that you're selling to anyone from this moment on." Bella hissed in his ear.

The stench of urine filled the air as the dealer pissed himself. The brunette dropped him to the ground letting him fall into a sobbing heap.

"Rose baby, can you take care of the trash we left in the dumpster? I'll watch Jerry and extract a few promises from him."

Rosalie pulled the corpse from the dumpster and blurred away. She was going to tear him apart and dump him in the harbor. In the mean time Bella could have a little fun.


Later that night the girls had settled into a nice hotel. They had showered and were curled up on the bed together. Rosalie waited patiently, already knowing her mate would speak when ready.

"After I was raped, and Amber left me, all I had was Anna. And I clung on to her and the safety of our dorm room. I started having nightmares. They happened every night. Anna knew about them, but never questioned me.

One day, I couldn't take it any more. I had to find a way to let the pain out. I had been working on a model bridge for my architecture class. I grabbed the exacto knife from my desk and started cutting myself. As the blood dripped onto my sheets, my pain did too. I stopped feeling it, and for once I was numb. When the blood stopped, the pain came back."

Bella looked into Rose's eyes searching for disgust or judgment, she only found love. The blonde scooped her up and placed her in her lap, clutching the newborn to her chest. She began to purr, a sound she knew calmed her mate. Again, she waited patiently for Bella to continue.

"I cut myself for a while. I don't know what exactly tipped her off, but Anna figured it out. She tried to help me the only way she knew how. She started giving me aderall to help me stay awake. It worked for a time, and without the nightmares I was happier. I didn't need to hurt myself as much.

Eventually the aderall wasn't enough. So she introduced me to Jerry and I started using other things. Ketamine, vicoden, cocaine... so long as I got some degree of numbness I didn't care what he sold me. I was snorting one drug or another every day, several times a day. There came a point where no matter how much I inhaled, it wasn't enough to take away my pain.

Jerry introduced me to heroine. Which he helped me to inject. Anna found me passed out in a puddle of vomit in our bathroom. She got me to a hospital and called Charlie. That's how I ended up back in Forks."

While Bella spoke Rose ran soothing fingers through her hair. Outwardly she as calm, internally she was raging. "I'm so glad you made it back to Forks love. I'm sorry you went through all of that alone."

"I wasn't alone, I had Anna. She may have gone about it the wrong way but at least she cared about me."

"And that's why we're going to help her now." Rosalie promised.
