BPOV
I awoke on something soft. I went to open my eyes, but only one did. The other burned with immense pain. I gasped and a breeze flew into the room.
"Here, keep this on it." A beautiful angelic voice rang out. I felt ice pressure placed over my hurt eye.
"Shouldn't it have healed by now?" I mumbled under my breath holding the ice pack on my eye as I sat up.
"Christian is very strong, and you're not like most vampires, it should probably take along the same time as if you were a human hit by another human.
"I forced my eyes to open and look at the girl. My breath was caught in my throat. She looked like me, not exactly, but there was a familiarity that was indescribable. What shocked me though was she knew what I was? I sniffed the air again incase I missed something, but no she smelled human. I could hear her heart beat; the only thing was how incredibly slow it was beating.
I widened my good eye in shock and she just laughed musically.
"I'm Angeline."
"What are you?"
"Depends." She said plainly
"On what?"
"On what you think you are."
"Huh?"
"Well, if you consider your self as a special human, special vampire, or half and half."
I was very confused now.
"So, what does that have to do with what I think I am?"
"I'm just like you Isabella."
I let confusion play on my face like a record. Angeline let out another giggle and pulled away my ice pack. She took out a tube and squeezed some ointment onto her fingers and then went to rub it under my eye. But right when she got close I pulled back.
"It smell's awful!" I gagged. Angeline used her free hand and reached round the back of my head to pull be back towards her.
"I think you'll survive."
"What did you mean, you're like me. A vampire had the power to keep what they liked about you?"
I was baffled. I didn't think that it was possible for anyone to have that sort of power other then Zaden.
Her eyes fixated on the tube in her hand and I watched in awe as it levitated and gracefully floated to the dresser in the corner of her room.
"That's your power?" I asked she smiled slightly at my surprised tone.
"No, I always had that."
I took in that; needless to say I was shocked. She was amazing even before being a vampire.
"You didn't answer my question though." I said bringing her attention back to what we were talking about minutes before. She sighed lightly and jumped on the bed to sit cross-legged in front of me.
"Relax okay?" I nodded my head as she places both her hands on either side of my head, but didn't touch me. I felt my eyes grow heavy, though not sleepy, just heavy.
Behind my eyelids, a scene unfolded like a movie.
Angeline was walking along a dirt path. It was dark and she was wearing a school uniform and was talking on her cell phone.
"Yea Rory I'm almost home. Okay set the oven to 400, and take out the lasagna. I'll put it in when I get home. Okay see you soon."
She shut her phone and put it back in her pocket and sped up slightly down the path.
A noise came from the bush. It was like breaking twigs. Quickly Angeline sped up into a trot. She would see her house now. Suddenly a dark figure blocked her way.
"You smell divine." Purred the voice. I slightly recognized it but brushed it off
"Now, now save some for us Laurent." Angeline extended her hand and a rock flew through the air and hit the figure in front of her. She started to run when something hit her from behind knocking her to the ground.
"Oh we can eat her. She's to much fun." The figure was on top of her pinning her to the ground. She silently flailed her arms.
"You're not going to scream? No one close by to help you huh?" said the feminine voice. Angeline shut her eyes tightly and shook her head no as tears slid down her face.
Next she was in a dark room strapped to a chair.
"Let's have some fun!" shouted a voice I didn't recognize. The blonde boy walked over to Angeline and nipped playfully at her neck. Still she stayed silent.
"What no scream?" the blonde asked.
"Well that's no fun." Laurent laughed pushing away the blonde. "Let's see if we can shall we?" he looked up at the woman "Victoria may I?" he asked with an 'innocent' smile gliding across his lips. Victoria nodded and sat back getting comfortable like she was watching a movie.
Laurent bared his teeth and bit the base of Angeline's neck she took in a sharp intake of breath. For a second she sat there silently. Holding her eye's closed trying to escape the pain for the flesh wound. Suddenly she felt something spreading through the wound. Her eyes shot open as she wriggled in her chair.
"What did you do to me?" she yelled trying to stifle her cries of pain. "It's burning!"
"That is venom coursing through your veins. In about three day's you would become one of us if we were to let it run its course." Victoria said studying her nails. She nodded at Laurent who walked back to Angeline he put his mouth over the bite and sucked out the venom. Angeline bit her bottom lip and thrashed under Laurent's grasp.
Over and over Laurent bit her, waited and then sucked out the venom, waiting for Angeline's scream that would never come, or at least not for a while. With each bite Laurent grew more and more impatient, wanting to here her screams he left the venom in longer each time. The final time, after Laurent sucked out the venom, Angeline still struggled and finally escaped her lips. Laurent smiled and then leaned in to drain all the blood from her small body.
Suddenly small objects rose from the ground and swirled around her, pegging the two blonde boys in the head.
"Leave her!" shouted Victoria getting up and ran at vampire speed over to Angeline.
"You! You're doing this?" she opened her eyes and they were red "That cant be, it would have taken three days!" the straps binding Angeline to the chair snapped. And she stood.
Laurent grabbed her arm.
Let go!
Laurent looked at her confused. Angeline hadn't opened her mouth, but the thought rang through his head as if it was his own.
"Can you hear that? Can you hear the voice?" he asked, his voice rising to frantic.
"No, but I do hear a heart beat."
The vision before me faded to only a memory and I opened my eyes. Angeline looked pained. With out thinking I flung myself into her arms.
"How could you, I don't understand, and they I cant believe they, who are they?"
"You don't remember?"
"Probably not, my mind was wiped when I was changed."
"But I don't understand, you screamed Edward's name when Christian had you."
"You were there?" I asked and pulled away from her too look her square I the eyes. It had just hit me that I was in some strange house with a strange girl who I never met before, and the last thing I remember was a very aggressive vampire saying something about having his children.
"I don't get it what's going on?"
"Bella answer me, why did you scream out Edward's name if you don't remember him?"
ANGELINE POV
" I don't know it just, it was like an involuntary impulse to, call him, when I was hurt." She mumbled in coherently. She wasn't explaining it to me any more; she was trying to explain it to herself.
"Tell me what's going on, please." She pleaded staring into my eyes. My heart started to burn. She seemed so, lost and confused.
" After I was changed I had no where to go. It wasn't that long ago. Like six months ago. I stayed with Victoria, Laurent, Tomas, and Oliver. They brought me the pain, but after I was changed they treated me, amazingly well. Then they met Christian. A vampire, who happened to be his father, attacked him. His dad had a power to breed, but only with humans. One night his mother and father got in a fight and his father lost control. Christian stepped in the way of his mother and he got bit. This was a month after I was changed. We knew Christian's father, so when he got bit, he left Christian with us and disappeared. Christian got his fathers power and a few of his own."
"What other powers?" she asked interrupting me quickly
"He can stop other vampires from using their powers, see anyone anywhere, and he can manipulate the elements. Air is his favorite though. He said it was like having invisible limbs. He also is very strong, but only when he is angry. When Victoria heard of your power and that you were a half ling like me, she got an idea to breed us with him to create something super powerful."
She looked like she was having a hard time accepting the information. Suddenly I heard a knock on the door.
"She's awake! She's awake!" Rory my little brother ran into the room, he was thirteen. He had brown hair like me, but was full vampire. Bella looked back and forth between us. I could feel the confusion and fear radiating about her. I took in another breath to explain this to her.
"After I ran away from Victoria's coven I went back to my home. On the day I came back, I witnessed my grandma, who was taking care of my brother and me since our parents passed, die of a heart attack. He was alone, and he begged me to change him. So I did, my brother is all that matters to me."
"How are you feeling Bella? Should I go get them now?" I looked at Bella. She looked dazed and confused. I could tell that I told her a lot of information that she needed to retain, and it must have taken a lot out of her. I laid her back down and told her to attempt to sleep. Within seconds she was asleep and I was out the door to have a few words with my brother.
EPOV
"Where is Bella?" Zaden screamed after the vampire who assaulted my Bella ran off into the dark.
"You need to tell me what's going on." I said coldly brushing off his question. I don't know why but Bella's whereabouts weren't a concern at the moment. I felt as if I knew she was safe and out of harms way.
Zaden looked hesitant for a while, but I could see the walls behind his eyes cave.
"Just before you came back, Bella asked me to change her. So I did." He started struggling out his words. Something was hurting him, but I pressed him on. I needed to know what was all going on.
"During her change, she called out your name. Victoria saw me get angry with that and made a deal with me. As long as I erased her memories of you and kept you away from her, she would live. Victoria thought it would hurt you more to think that the person you loved didn't love you anymore, so she said either I do what she said, or she would kill Bella right there."
A million and one emotions burned under my skin. I couldn't tell if I was angry, or relived that my Bella was still alive. Zaden could tell I was struggling so he paused for a minute until I calmed my self down to listen to the rest.
"When she changed her walls were stronger so I pushed harder to get in and ended up pushing too hard so all her memories were erased." I scoffed at this, running my hands through my hair and squatted down. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, Zaden paired up with the bad guys to erase me from My Bella's memory, and now we were fighting with them who wanted Bella now.
"Wait what?" I asked standing up and walking towards Zaden.
"What don't you understand?" he asked his voice sarcastic.
"Who was that guy, and why was he after Bella? I heard your mind when you came into the clearing and saw him here. Tell me everything Zaden or so help me…"
He is a newcomer to Victoria's coven. He's got three amazing powers, he's super strong, and he can breed with humans. Apparently they want Bella to be the one to carry his babies." A growl rang through the forest. Both Zaden and I started fuming.
"Now where is Bella!"
"She's at home taking a nap!" Called a young voice from the darkness.
