Trigger Warning**
I should have known that he was not the one when he planned our wedding for Halloween. Why would anyone want to get married on Halloween; but, I was so naïve back then?
I truly thought that Royce loved me. That he wanted to build a life with me but he just wanted to have his way with me. He didn't love me, he couldn't love me or anyone. I didn't love him, not really but I wanted to. I was willing to fall in love with him. I was willing to have babies with him. That is what I was supposed to do. That is what I was raised to do.
I screamed as they held me down, as my innocence was taken from me. I didn't want this. I wanted to get married the next day to a man that I thought would take care of me and provide for me.
When Carlisle found me broken, abused and left for dead, he decided to save me. Maybe it was my beauty that caused him to go against my wishes because I begged him for death. I begged him to let me die. I didn't want to live in a world that treated people like this. I did everything that I was told. I obeyed my parents and this was the thanks that I got for it.
I felt the pain of his bite as his venom slowly coursed through my veins. I screamed in agony for 3 days but on the fourth day I awoke to a new life. Carlisle explained to me what had happened and the rage inside of me built up. I wanted my revenge, I needed my revenge, so I left.
My theatrics knew no bounds as I broke into my parents' home and walked around my bedroom, my old life. I saw all the things that I wanted. I could hear my mother crying downstairs as she listened to my father on the phone with my former future father-in-law, telling him that he did not know where I had run off to. He apologized profusely, as if he had done something wrong.
After hanging up, my parents spoke to each other both worried about me, they couldn't fathom where I was, they knew that I would never just run off. They knew how much I wanted to start a family of my own. They were scared that someone had happened to me. And something had, I was dead. I couldn't tell them of course.
According to Carlisle my old life was over, I had a new life now. In my mind everything had been stripped away from me, so I went back into my old bedroom and saw the dress that I had planned to get married in. It was my mother's and before that my grandmother's but I would be the last of my family to wear it since I was an only child.
I found Royce and his seven lackeys over the next several days. They were laughing and drunk, having a good old time. I heard them speaking about me with the most fowl of language. I took that as my cue to enter and when I did, it was like a director was in front of me yelling, "ACTION!"
I got my revenge but I made sure not to spell an ounce of their blood. I didn't want to feed from them. I wanted to hurt them, not myself.
I saved Royce for last. He tried to run after hearing his friends' deaths. He understood and knew what was coming for him. I hoped the fear made it worse for him in the end. And I think it worked.
As he looked into my blood red eyes, he screamed, "Witch, you are a witch. I killed you."
"Yes, you did but you did not end my life. I am still here and you did not win. I won!" I finished my speech by snapping his neck and then I smiled.
"Happy Halloween" I cackled just like the witch that he said that I was.
FIN
A/N: I decided to challenge myself to 13 days of Halloween. I will write 13 one-shots/drabbles in 13 different fandoms with 13 words that relate to Halloween. Today's word is WITCH and the Twilight fandom. RL got in the way so this is really late but there will be 13 stories posted by Oct 31. See you later!
