A/N: I will say, that I don't know if Victoria has a power or not, I just figured this one fit.

A/N2: Here's chapter 3!

A/N3: If you listen Taking Over Me by Evanescence, it adds to the story.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot…

So I'll hold tight to what I know

I woke up to a stream of obscenities. Either the effects of her gift had worn off, or she just was too busy concentrating on her words to pay attention to me. She hadn't even noticed I had woken up.

I noticed that not all of the obscenities were in English. Some were in Spanish, some French. I also recognized something like German, and maybe some Italian. Then there was something that sounded like Japanese or maybe it was Chinese. Whatever. Obviously, she wasn't happy about something.

"They aren't here! Where have they gone!"

I remained silent.

"Blast those Cullen's to an oblivion! I guess I'll just have to drink your blood without your precious boyfriend watching."

So that's what she was mad about, the Cullen's weren't here.

…I wouldn't get to see Edward before I died.

Victoria dragged me out of the car into the cold snow.

"I'm thirsty anyway."

I shuddered.

She leaned in and bit me. I cringed…I could feel the blood leaving my body.

You're here and I'm never alone

Suddenly, it stopped. Victoria wasn't leaning over me anymore.

I struggled to sit up, but I couldn't manage it.

Someone was fighting.

I blacked out. Probably from lack of blood.

I was dreaming.

Edward! Edward! Where are you?

There was no answer.

My worst fear had come true.

Edward was gone.

Perfect Edward was gone.

I was forced to live without him.

I think I was going insane.

I kept thinking that he would come back, but he didn't.

I was alone.

There was fire, surrounding me.

I called out to Edward to stop it.

But there was no angel over me to drive away the pain.

The pain was driving me into madness.

I wished the pain would go away.

I screamed at a nonexistent Edward.

I told him not to leave.

But, he already had.

I wished he would just say my name one more time.

I was going to die.

Without Edward.

All I could think of was Edward.

I wished I could find him.

I would do anything to find him.

I needed to see him again.

I woke up.

Someone was standing over me.

Sadly, it wasn't Edward.

"You're awake good! We thought you were a goner!"

"Who are you?" I mumbled sleepily.

"Name's Katherine. Welcome to our coven!"

"Coven, does that mean…? Am I a vampire?"

"Yep, you know about vampires?"

"Yeah."

"That helps a lot! Less explaining! Come on! Time to meet the rest!"

She led me into a room with four other people living in it.

"This is Robert. He was created around the time of the Revolutionary War. He was only 22. This is his coven, he's doctor and his trait is being immune to human blood."

"This is Laura. Robert found her in Italy in the 1800's dying of a relapse of the Plague. She was only 20. They were married within a decade. Her trait is leadership."

"Then there's me, they found me in the 1930's dying of malnutrition in Nebraska. I was only 18. My trait is finding things."

"This is Deborah. I found her in the 1950's dying in a forest fire in Ohio. She was only 16. I was afraid I wasn't gonna survive that one. Her trait is persuasiveness."

"And this is Rachel. I found her on the highway in the 1980's dying because her parent's car was smashed between two semis. She was only 14. Her trait is maniacally planning things."

"We live here because Robert practices medicine here. The three of us are their foster children. You could be the fourth. No one would be suspicious!"

"Calm down Kate! Relax just a little!" Laura cautioned.

"When we saw Victoria out there with another victim, we just had to intervene. She's gone now. I got so mad at her! She's been haunting this area for over a year now." Deborah said.

"That wasn't her first victim in front of our house, she's killed people in the school once she realized that we weren't gonna!" Rachel added.

"We're vegetarian vampires." Robert said. "It means we live off of only animals."

"I know," I said. "I once knew a family of vampires. They were vegetarians."

"Who were they?" Robert asked.

"The Cullen's."

"Oh my gosh!" Deborah gasped. "They were here just a couple of days ago, they left though, without a trace!"

"Yeah, they were here for only 8 or 9 months…" Rachel added.

"They were all together…" Kate put in.

"Carlisle and Esme…"

"Rosalie and Emmett…"

"Jasper and Alice…"

"But then there was Edward…"

"He didn't date…"

"He was all depressed all the time…"

"I asked him why…"

"He said he missed someone…"

"Bella, I think her name was…"

The three girls went on and on about Edward, the Cullen's, me-without their knowing, they seemed not to notice anything else.

"How do you do that?" I asked.

"We have a telekinetic connection…"

"So we know what one is gonna say…"

"Before they say it…"

"Or someone else does…"

"It takes some getting used to," Laura said, "I've noticed that if you don't concentrate on who's saying it, but what their saying as a whole, it makes more sense."

"It's our gift!"

"I wonder what yours is…"

"Let her get some rest, we're going to have to hunt tomorrow. I'll go run to the hospital and get some color contacts, brown I think." Robert said.

"What's your name sweetie?" Laura asked.

"I'm the girl that Edward was talking about. I'm Bella."

"Oh, honey, I'm so sorry!"

She came over and hugged me, silencing the girls in her wake. She took me to an empty room and said, "We'll go shopping after we hunt. You'll have the whole summer to get settled. The girls just finished last week."

I nodded.

Right now, all I wanted was to find Edward.

A/N4: I hope you liked this one! More to come soon!
