34. Surprise and sisterly love- B.P.O.V

I sat completely motionless for what felt like an age, all sounds were blocked from my ears; I was like an unsuspecting deer caught up in some cars headlights. Ironic that I should feel the way my prey surely did, unsuspecting and confused as to what would surely happen next.

I debated what I should do, I knew for sure that there was a clear one hundred percent chance it was a vampire stood behind me, but which vampire?

My question was answered when I felt a smooth, cold hand on my shoulder. I waited for the electric sensation that always came whenever Edward used to touch me, I waited but it never came. I realised at once with a sigh of relief that it in fact was not Edward stood with me and turned around to face the vampire.

The first thing I registered was that this vampire was a she, a beautiful woman with short golden hair and those oh so familiar golden eyes. The next thing I registered was a quiet but audible gasp, too quiet for mere human ears but easily picked up through my enhanced, perfect ones.

I whispered under my breath too low for the humans to hear, "I am sorry for taking your seat, I shall move if you wish, but I would very much like to talk to you also. My name is Bella by the way."

She answered me by sitting down gracefully in the chair next to me and then speaking in that same velvet voice "My name is Madison, I am as you can see a vegetarian, as are you. I am 115 years old and was created by a lone savage vampire; he killed all of my family and left me to live in this awful state. I never desired a life like this"

I listened to Madison talk with great concentration, listening to her story and reading the emotions playing around in her eyes, the pain, the sadness, the dread.

She went on with her story and I listened to every single detail, "I used to have a life before I was changed, a happy normal life, a family, a home" she said, loss shone in her eyes but still she smiled, a sad smile but a smile never the less.

"I was engaged, to the love of my life, John. He was such a caring and loving man, part of the reason I fell in love with him, he always loved me for who I was, he only ever wanted me. And then this…this happened" she waved her hand over her perfectly flawless body rather angrily and her eyes sparked with annoyance but at the same time sadness. "I could not be trusted to be around John anymore, I would have to sacrifice our future for him to live, I knew I could not control the dreaded monster within me. I had to leave as soon as I realised what I had become, a lone new born vampire, scared, even petrified about what the future held, for the future I had dreamed of, a life with john and our children was now finished, everything I had planed and worked for was for nothing. In one moment my life was destroyed, in one moment I died and in dying left everything of my old life behind."

I sympathised with Madison, I knew how it felt to have no future, to have it all thrown away, it took you years to plan how your life would turn out, you would dream of the perfect future and then in only a second someone could just throw it away and crush your heart and your dreams into dust, never to be seen again, never to come true. It was like saying to someone you've won the lottery and then just as they planed what they would do with it, dreamed of all they could achieve, someone says actually you can't have the money sorry, go back to how everything was before, forget this ever happened. And the truth is you can't! A once in a lifetime chance, is just that, once in a life time!

I went on to tell Madison about my miserable story, I found myself opening up to this vampire, the way she had to me, talking with Madison seemed to be easy, it felt natural. Madison seemed to have a calming almost at ease aurora about her; it was sort of like the way Ja-Jasper could feel emotions, project them. Only Madison seemed to not know she was doing anything, the calmness just seemed to come naturally to her, it made you feel like you could tell her anything, which I of course already had. Madison was a strange vampire but one I looked up to and respected like an older sister already.

After I finally finished my story Madison did something I was not expecting, she reached over and hugged me tight, protectively as if she was shielding me from the horrors of the world. Then she said something that made my cold, dead heart warm almost stutter to life once again, even in my empty, unfeeling state.

"I may not have known you for long Bella but I feel like I've known you my whole life, in just these few hours I've known you I have told you my entire life story. And I respect and thank you for listening so intently, for helping me, for you are the one person I have ever opened up too since my change. After it happened I all but closed myself off to the world, made myself invisible. And to tell you the complete truth, you actually feel like a little sister to me, no matter how silly that sounds. I feel protective of you."

I didn't have to answer back, no words were needed, just a loving friendly smile. I knew Madison would understand what I did not necessarily say out loud, she would see in my warm smile that I agreed. I knew this would hurt even more now, when I went to the Volturi. I knew it would hurt more because now I had another loved one I would be leaving behind, but I knew there was no other way, everyone would be better off without me here to interfere with their lives, no one would miss me, I was sure they would all move on. But at least for my last few hours I had found myself one shred of hope, one small light in this darkness I called hell. It would soon be over, but at least for now I had someone, I had a sister in Madison, a friend, a glimmer of light in the dark.

Thank you hope you enjoyed this chapter, please review on what you think of this new twist, what do u think of Madison? xx Alice xx
