BEWARE! SHORT CHAPTER! BUT YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHY! ENJOY!!

Bella's POV

I'm dead.

I'm dead, I'm really dead.

I died.

But if I died, how come I could still feel wind rushing past my face? Was it Edward? No, the arms would have been familiar, which they weren't. I didn't dare open my eyes. I didn't think I could. I must have died, I must have.

I knew that I didn't, however, when I felt my body hit the floor. My legs went over my head, and I tumbled into a wall. I moaned out in pain as I blinked, opening up my eyes. I wish that I hadn't. Victoria was standing in front of me, about twenty feet away, her red hair glowing in the sunlight, her body sparkling as she grew a menacing, evil smile on her face.

"Bella Swan…it's so nice to see you again." She said, her voice sounding like a cat. She purred, a low rumbling sound escaping from her throat. I didn't recognize my surroundings, but I didn't like them. I was in a large, empty, concrete room, with the door impounded in. I managed to sit up, just a little. I was gasping for my breath, and my chest hurt more then ever. I had landed on them as I had skidded into the wall.

"Edward…" I gasped, reaching a hand involuntarily up to my chest. They were throbbing, and my heart was beating in my ears. She stalked towards me, and I backed up.

"Edward's not coming." She snarled, baring her pearly white teeth at me. I backed up again, "What's the matter?" She asked, noticing my discomfort as I still held my hand up to my chest, "You're clumsy enough, shouldn't you be used to slipping?"

"Victoria, I was raped." I managed to spit out, but she didn't seemed fazed by it. I didn't know why I was saying this. I just wanted Edward. Why did I have to be so stupid? Why did everything have to happen to me?

She gave me a fake pout before bending down next to me, "Aw, and your poor, helpless vampire, Edward didn't make it in time to save you?"

"No...he did, someone was attempting to rape me...but..." As I was talking, I started backing away from her, running into the wall as I turned my head to the side, but she cut me off.

"Well don't count on him saving you now either. All that's going to be left of you when I finish is your mangled corpse." She realized that I wouldn't say anything, "Now, I'm not going to make anything special for Edward. I'm just going to get this done easy, unlike James. That was the one mistake he made. You're just a meager, weak human." She snarled, her lip curling over her teeth, showing me them again, "I would kill you now. Right now, to be exact, but I figure that since I have you where I want you, I might as well have fun with it, right?"

That was when I had had enough. I jumped up to my feet, prepared to run in the other direction, towards the impounded door, but she shouted, "Oh no you don't!" And then I was being shoved up against the wall. I heard a bone crack, but I didn't want to believe that it was one of mine. I couldn't figure out which one it was, but all I knew was that she had two hands on my shoulders, shoving me against the concrete wall.

"Edward…" I whispered, and she brought my body forward, and then slammed it back up against the wall. I whimpered in pain as she let go of me. I felt hopeless, useless. I was surely going to die. I was a mangled body, just laying there on the floor in front of her.

"Now are we going to continue with this, or are you going to make this more difficult then it needs to be?" She sneered, and I couldn't breath. If she was human, if she couldn't hear my heartbeat, I could have made like a possum and faked dead, but I couldn't. I couldn't move anything, however, and she didn't move any closer to me, "Your mate's brother tried to get a hold of me yesterday…did you send him out to catch me? Because you're just a helpless human, you can't possibly have enough brains in your head to think about sending someone out after me….I was hoping it would be Edward." She grinned, "That would have been fun, but then, I realized that you would be too scared to have him leave your side."

I moaned, and I just wanted out of here. I didn't want to be here, I didn't want to be thriving in pain on the concrete ground, "Edward!" I screamed as loud as I could, again. I started to cry. I couldn't help it.

"Crying like a little baby isn't going to help anything, Bella Swan. You will die, and there will be nothing you or your Edward can do about it." She bent down close to my face, her cold breath against my cheek as she bared her teeth at me, her black eyes staring into mine, "Any last words before you die?"

If Edward had just changed me into a vampire, I wouldn't be in this predicament. If he hadn't been so stubborn. I didn't know why he didn't want me to be a vampire. I would be with him forever, and that was what he wanted, right? If Edward wasn't going to change me, and Victoria was ready to kill me, what more could I do? I nodded my head, "Bite me, Victoria. Change me." I whispered.
