Bella POV
I smile a bit as James, Victoria, and Laurent kill the boat guy. I never knew that they could be so violent, yet so tame. I've been traveling with them for a long while now. They found me in the nineteen thirties and turned me to save me from the miserable life I was leading. My father was killed in a robbery and my mother and I had to flee Mexico for our own safety. But shortly after we arrived in California, there was a horrible dust storm. Mom got Valley fever and died. The farm owners often beat and raped me since no one could stop them anymore. My family was all gone.
They found me crying in the woods in the middle of the night, and I guess they felt bad for me or something because they offered me a chance for a happier life far away from there. Nobody could ever hurt me again and I could take my revenge on the people who had hurt me. I'm glad they found me because if they hadn't I would've been stuck in that hell forever. They were there when I needed a family, they helped me to become stronger than I ever could have imagined.
They hunt whoever smells good, but I've always been a tad more...Shall we say selective...with my meals. I track down people who are pure evil. Kidnappers and rapists. Murderers and sex traffickers. People who dare to harm innocent people. Over the past decades I made my way into the news as some sort of hero. Someone who takes out the evil people of this world. The Volturi don't really hold it against me because I'm at least still smart with my killings. I make a bit more of a mess with my murders to make it seem like a human had done it.
I roll my eyes at the thought. I never would have dared to kill someone in my human life. The thought repulsed me at the time. I was pathetic and weak, and in some ways I guess I still am weak. After all, I'm a vampire that does contract work for the mother fucking Volturi, and I still can't bring myself to hurt innocent humans, no matter what happens. I even found myself turning a few to give them a chance for revenge against the people who had hurt them. Surely that has to count as weakness, doesn't it? I would assume it does.
I hear sirens in the distance. Fuck. The police will be here any minute now. I look to my coven and see that they're not done feeding. Slowpokes.
" Hey, not to rush you three but we've got company on the way, dumb asses! Let's go!" I snap furiously. Their heads snap up and they listen, hearing the sirens to. James hisses a bit, but gestures for us to follow him. I smirk a bit and nod. Time to ditch this dump. Just on time too. I don't want any trouble with the police. We sprint away from the docks and out of sight, just as the police pull up to the scene. Thankfully they'll never find us.
They would never be able to track us down, no matter how hard they tried. The thought of a human ever being able to track a vampire is absurd. We are designed to be flawless, meaning that we can escape bad situations easily. Of course, lucky ass Victoria is a hell of a lot better at it than any other vampire. She is gifted with evasion. It's pretty much impossible to kill her. Trust me. I've tried.
