Characters: Tanya. Prompt: Mask. For Twilight100 on Livejournal. Twilight belongs to Stephenie Meyer.
No one likes Tanya. She's cruel and insensitive and persistent. No one thinks twice about why she acts that way.
No one stops to think that maybe she feels hurt. Irinia had Laurent. Carmen has Eleazer. Kate has Garrett. And now Edward has Bella.
She's the only left. Alone. Rejected by the only one she's ever loved. Rejected by her family, the only ones she thought she could trust. Ignored, pushed aside, looked down on. There's nothing she can do to change it.
The mask of petty cruelty is only an act. To keep the rest from seeing the pain.
