Chapter 4

Well here is chapter 4, thanks for the patience. I hope you like this chapter there is more Tanya Bella interaction in this one. Forgive me for spelling mistakes and grammatical errors I am just one person with no beta, I try to correct them but some slip through. I have written this chapter slightly differently as it was pointed out to me by a guest that I need to make it clearer who is speaking so let me know what you think. Also thanks for the reviews and favourites/follows.

It was asked whether Victoria would make an appearance in this story, to be honest I'm not sure I have an idea how to incorporate her in, as a big plot or just a small one, let me know your thoughts and I will go from there. Enjoy.

Bella's P.O.V

I wake up more tired this morning than I did going to sleep last night. Any time I have a nightmare it exhausts me. Even thinking about my so called ex-family makes me tired, I carry around anger and frustration aimed directly at them. I know I need to let it go but I can't everything I have been through has been because of them.

I stay lying down for another few minute's content listening to Annie breathing beside me and watching the snow fall down around us. I remain in my sleeping bag, reminiscing about the night before. I wonder why I got the nightmare in the first place.

I push myself up off of the ground when I feel a shooting pain go right up my arm from my wrist, I groan "seriously" this is all I need right now. When I look at my wrist I see it's swollen and bruised. I think back and surmise that I must have hurt it when I fell over the vampire. I guess I will just have to grin and bear the pain for a few weeks until it heals.

Annie rises from her slumber to see me waiting on her, she mumbles out an apology. "Morning Bella" she grumbles.

"Morning" I reply with a smirk. Annie is definitely not a morning person. She despises getting up with a passion.

"So what's the plan of action for today?" she asks me in between yawns.

"Nothing much, just wonder around, try to get some food. I'll probably head over to the library to catch up on some studying".

"Good, good" she replies.

We agree to meet up later today for dinner in our usual spot. Annie is off towards the homeless shelter, they run a course there to improve your skills to find work I think she's taking a computer course at the moment but I could be wrong. I head off o the city library which only takes about 20 minutes.

I get to the library a little slower than usual due to the weather and Christmas shopping. I stroll into the mostly empty library, most people forgoing the trip today with the weather. The librarians here all know me by now. When I first started coming in they were very wary of me, not liking one bit that a homeless teenager was coming in using their pristine books. They genuinely thought that I was up to no good. One would always follow me around the library watching me like a hawk, waiting for me to break the rules so they could kick me put. They learned to trust me eventually.

I go over to my usual spot, in the corner, out of the way of most of the people but near enough to one of the computers should I decide to use it. I settle down and decide to use it. I settle down and decide to some maths as it's my weakest subject. As I pull out the books I'm going to use I yank my hand back, my hand is killing me great just great I can't put any weight on it. I make my way through the maths steadily, not realising the time I look up to see that I have been here for more than 4 hours. My stomach starts its internal cacophony of noise. I decide to go and try get some food.

As I exit the building I head in the direction of the pier to a shop that gives out some hot food a sense of déjà vu comes over me as I see a wave of blonde hair in the distance. "Great" I mumble, I genuinely believe that I have a sign that follows me around above my head that reads supernatural meeting point.

She walks up to me with a confident swagger but I can see nerves plastered across her face. As she gets closer she stands directly in front of me and says "hello"

"Hi" I mutter back.

"I just wanted to apologise for my sister, about yesterday she should have been watching were she was going" she offers the explanation with a weak smile and a laugh.

"Ok…. well if that's everything then, bye." I turn to walk around her to get to my destination, when I see her move in front of me.

"Listen, sorry. Why don't I buy you lunch as a way of making it up to you?"

I shake my head, I could just refuse her, but I decide to have some fun. She looks nervous and I want to figure out the pull I feel towards her.

"What makes you think I want to go to lunch with you, do you think that I can't take care of myself?"

"What no, I just wanted to make it up to you for yesterday".

"If you want to make things right just leave me alone, or send your sister to apologise for herself, not send some messenger" She looks at me with disbelief.

"Can we start over?"

"Why?" Can't this woman take a hint? I just want to be left alone, not drawn back into her world.

She shakes her head and puts out her hand "My name is Tanya"

I don't reach out to shake her hand, mine is still sore. "My name is Bella". She retracts her hand looking a bit hurt, but carries on anyway.

"Can I take you to lunch?"

"No" I walk away, I'm finished now, and I don't want to be someone else's plaything.

Tanya, the name of my goddess, clearly cannot take a hint and walks in step with me. I look at her out of the corner of my eye. She remains silent as I make my way towards the shop. We walk for a few minutes until I come to a stop.

"What do you want with me?" I ask her as I turn to face her.

She looks at me startled "I just want to get to know you"

As we walk along the pier I get a closer look at her. She has blonde hair that comes just past her shoulders, she's slightly taller than my 5"5. Her eyes I noticed before are gold, there warm and inviting with a sense of mischief. She's wearing all designer clothes from what I can tell, pristine and new. They suited her perfectly and made her look even more stunning. We really must look like quite a pair, the prince and the pauper comes to mind. I shouldn't be seen with her, it does nothing for my self-esteem but I can't help it, I feel drawn to her for some reason. Maybe it's her power to lure in her victims. No that thought gets scrapped her eyes are gold she's a vegetarian.

Tanya pulls me to a stop outside a subway and asks me what I want. I tell her to surprise me. I want to keep her on her toes. When she comes out she leads me over to a bench, we sit down in silence.

We eat, well I eat she picks at her roll and tries to get rid of it without me noticing.

"Is this just to fatten me up?"

She starts to laugh, she has a beautiful laugh "No I just want you around for a long time"

"So you can drain me right, don't look at me shocked, I know what you are"
