Prologue part two
Agonizing, excruciating pain. That's all I feel.
No! I think. This is what I wanted to escape from!
But all I know is that the pain is so unbearable, I'm on the verge of insanity. I hear a piercing scream, andwith mythroat burning, along with the rest of my body, I know it's mine. I try to be strong and keep it in which makes everythingten timesworse.
I should be dead by now! Why can't God just let me die? Is this Hell? Oh great, what did I do? Edward should be the one in hell! Not me!
I'm thinking too much and thoughts are flying through my head. This is not fair.
Then again, life isn't fair. I learned that the hard way. Then I take notice of a voice; a smooth but sharp voice.
So it's not Edward. I think bitterly. I'm suspicious now. Who would be here doing nothing while I drown in unbelievable pain? Listening carefully, I realize they're talking to me.
He says smoothly once more, "Don't worry, it's the third day. Surprisingly, you slept throughout the other two." He pauses, and continues. "I'll explain whatever you want to know once it's over."
What? Third day of what? Why is it surprising that I slept? And what is it I think fearfully. Somehow, I manage to call out, barely though. I only get a word out.
"It?"
I'm uneasy about the response I'm going to get.
Did someone find me when I jumped off? Am I getting surgery? What's going on?
I can't see the face of who's speaking, but I know he's a male and that he has dark hair. Everything is a blur at the moment.
"The change." He says simply. "You're turning into a vampire, sweetheart. By the way, there's no point in keeping the screams in, because it just makes the pain worse." He sounds amused.He is so annoyi-
Wait. What did he just say?
Oh. My. God. No way.I'm not sure what I feel at the moment. Shock. Anger. Excitement. Annoyance. Depression. Isubconsciously notice that the male hasleft the room,but I had no more time to think before the pain hits its final peak and I gave an earsplitting shriek that lasted forever to me. It felt like a thousand jagged knives jabbed into me at the exact same time. I think it's going to kill me.
Well, that was my intent before, so maybe this will get the job done...
But the next second, the pain is replaced with iciness. Not the burning kind though; it was more of a relief. Then I realize the pain. It's over. There's no more. Peace at last.
I lay there for an immeasurable amount of time with my eyes closed, loving the inward coolness that took away the pain.
I finally open my eyes. I'm in a largeroom. It's very elegant. It looks like a lover's room. The bedspread is a light shade of pink and red. The walls are covered in light orange flowers with a pink background. I notice the paintings on the walls, and realize I can read the inscription at the bottom with significant ease. My vision has improved considerably. I take in the whole pictures of the paintings. They all consist of what looks like couples in love.The T.V though is huge. I scoff.
Well, there's one thing that's not too romantic for my taste.
I get up and explore the room, not quite ready to go outside of my place of safety. I look inside the bathroom and discover it's almost bigger then the room.
And just as loving, I think mockingly.
This is so not my place. I walk inside and shut the door behind me. Then I spot a mirror, and what I see stuns me.
There's a beautiful girl staring back at me. I can't believe I'm attractive now. My hair is darker then before, not quite black but not brown either. I tilt my head and notice it depends on the lighting. It's more brown then black, I decide. It's longer also, reaching just below my waist, and stick straight. I'm exceedingly pale, almost white, without any blemish on my skin. My nose looks the same, just a bit narrower. My lips also didn't change much. They've always been full, and now their just a tad more defined.
My eyes though; those are what've changed the most. Staring back at me, are beautiful and alluring, but terrifying ruby red eyes. So fast it startles me, I'm an inch away from the mirror, inspecting my new self. I smile, thinking how ironic this is. The one time I'm actually pretty, and Edwards not here to see it.
Edward.
All the pain I felt before comes back to me. I can't take it. I rush outside of the bathroom and look out the window out of nothing else to do. Anger and sadness are taking over me.
All of a sudden, I'm experiencing a peculiar feeling, and the anger and sadness intensifies.
What's happening?
Out of nowhere, it starts hammering rain outside. There's so much rain, that I can barely see outside the window. It scares me a bit. Then lightning flashes just a mere 15 feet away from the window and nearly gives me a heart attack. Then I remember that's not possible.
Thunder explodes outside, and then the wind picks up. My feelings are now revolving mainly now around anger.
This feels natural.
I then realize with astonishment, but joy that I'm the one controlling the storm. I laugh out loud, the sound getting drowned out by the noise thundering outside. I make it louder, and the storm roars.
Out of the corner of my eye, I see roots struggling to keep their trees down, and just as I'm about to increase the intensity, the bedroom door bursts open, and 5 vampires' rocket inside and tackle me to the ground, but not before giving me a brief look of awe, I notice in satisfaction. Then one of them speaks.
"Blake, make her turn it off or something!" He sounds panicked. I smile. The black-haired onethen speaks hurriedly.
"Listen girl, whatever you're doing, turn it off, and do it now. Yes, we know it's you." He adds as I give him a look of mock surprise. I decide I don't want to ruin the house, and without actually knowing how, I calm the winds down. The rain slows down and altogether stops. By now, the thunder and lightning have ended, and despite the fact that it's not all in all sunny, it's definitely not the almost-catastrophe it was a second ago.
"What the hell was that?" The blond male speaks again. I look around at the vampires around me, but only looking at one thing. Their eyes.
5 pairs of dark red eyes, just as terrifying as my own, were all staring at me, each pair holding emotions. They drank humans, not animals. I wondered what my chances were of escaping.
None…
I smiled bitterly. Great…
The shaggy black haired one spoke. I noticed he was incredibly gorgeous, almost reaching Edward's beauty.
Almost being the key word
I really needed to stop thinking so much….
"What's your name?" He said warily. I gave him a smile to show I didn't bite and answered calmly.
"Bella." He gave me an easy smile, and introduced himself.
"I'm Blake Lotus. This is my clan." They each started introducing themselves. I got bored instantly. Anyways, by the way the girls were looking at me, I knew they didn't want me here anymore then I wanted to be here.
The first to speak was the blond male who'd spoken before. He was built like Emmet and was incredibly bulky. He had curly blond hair that barely reached the tip of his shoulders.
"I'm Donovan." Hmm...That was short. I guess that's what "introduction" means. I smiled, before asking,
"Do you have a power?" He looked uncertain and spoke.
"Well, I have more strength then an average vampire, but I'd say it was more of a trait." He flexed his muscles with a cocky grin and the blond female shot into his lap, like claiming ownership. She glared at me, like daring me to make a move on her man. Amused, I smiled and said swiftly,
"Don't worry, he's all yours." Donovan and the brown-haired male chuckled. The brown-haired one had long hair that reached the middle of his back, which he wore in a ponytail. He was taller then Donovan, and not as bulky, more lean. He spoke.
"I'm Adrian. My power is reading people's auras, in color. Like one of yours is a dark brown for boredom." He then grinned. I grinned back cheekily.
The next one who spoke was a solemn purple-haired girl. Her hair was also rather long, reaching the ends of her hips. It was glossy and wavy. She was on the short side and extremely thin. She gave off a gothic, don't-try-and-talk-to-me vibe.
"I'm Lilith." She said monotonously. "Adrian's my husband." She doesn't say it territorially, more just like a statement. "I can make humans kill themselves." She gives me a twisted smile.
That has to be the sickest power, I think disgustingly. I don't fully understand it though so I ask,
"How do you manage to do that?"
"I can give out waves of depression, but i control the sadness level, and if I want to I'll give them like an 'overdose' of it, and then they don't want to live anymore. Humans are very impulsive."
"Does it work on vampires?" She looks thoughtful for a second before answering,
"Yes, but to a point. They obviously can't kill themselves. And anyways, they can resist it better," She scowls. "So it's more fun when I do it on humans."
More fun? I give up, trying to think of a reason on how it's fun when the next female speaks. She reminds me of Rosalie, since she also has blond hair. Her hair though, is much lighter, basically white, and only reaches her shoulders.
"I'm Vega. Donovan is my husband." She stops to glare. Yep, that's Rosalie's twin. "My power is more of a trait. It's persuasiveness." I smile inwardly,
More like lustfulness…I think, amused once again by her actions and speech. Blake speaks again.
"Oh, I can move things with my mind. But no, I can't move vampires." He smiles at me, knowing that was what I was going to ask. I guess they already know but I tell them anyways,
"Well, seeing the storm I created in a matter of seconds, I'm guessing my power is to control the weather..." I say mockingly. I smile and decide I want the sun shining. I get that same pleasant feeling and the sun's now out. The sun shines on us, bathing us in itslight.
I stare in awe and wonder at our skin. Sparkling like a pure and wholesome diamond, I raise my hand in front of my face, waving it back and forth. I look back at the clan. Vega has a look of annoyance on her face.
Like I care…I think sarcastically.
Lilith has no expression. She doesn't seem sad, more like bored.
The males' stares hold a tad bit of lust, not being able to show much, for their companions would surely kill them.
Blake though, is a different story. I can see immediately that he has no problem showing the desire on his face.
Even though this whole clan is unbelievably gorgeous, there's just no possible way for me to ever experience love again. The pain is brought up again once more, but I quickly push it away. I had more important issues at present
I'll grieve later in the forest, I decide.
"You'll need to hunt soon." Donovan says out of nowhere. I look over to him warily. I speak hesitatingly.
"Humans?"
He looks at me with a strange expression, and replies.
"What else?" Does he not know what animals are?
"Animals."
Silence.
For a moment, no one speaks a word, before he replies in a patronizing tone.
"Why would you drink animals when there are humans?" He asked slowly like I was stupid. I didn't know what to say to that.
"Can I drink animals?" I said cautiously. They all looked at each other and I immediately knew the answer. Blake spoke,
"If you want to be with my clan, you have to drink from the humans, and there isn't another clan around here anywhere." He stared at me as if daring me to say no. I wasn't sure what to do. I would go insane if I was to be alone for the rest of eternity.
Life owes me for the pain its caused me, I think resentfully. I owe no one anything.
"Ok, I'll do it." I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do. But at the moment I really don't care. Who cares if it's the right thing to do? It's only fair if the humans experience the same pain I felt.
Blake grins at me.
"Welcome to the clan." I smile back and say,
"I think I'm going to go into the forest, you know, just to practice my powers." I add because of the suspicious looks I was getting. It was a lie, but not because I was going to drink from the animals. I needed my alone time to mourn.
"We'll know if you drank or not, so don't even think about it." Vega says scathingly. I give her a fake smile and reply.
"Wasn't planning to."
I whip out of the house, and into the forest.
The feeling,elating and invigorating, I speed up. I love the feeling, with the wind whipping my hair around, and everything a blur. It's amazing. It was like flying. I could smell all the animals, but luckily they weren't near. The smell of the forest I decided though, was something I immediately noticed, and I realized that it was a smell that I loved almost as much as Edward's.
Edward.
I stopped. I had ended up right before a shallow, little pond. With the towering trees surrounding everything, I sat down on one of the rocks and let it all out.
Smashing the trees, oneby one, as easily as if it were Styrofoam, I know it will never be enough. Dry sobs escape, and I don't care.
Is it really my fault the pain was too much? Life is so not fair. I tried to end it, and I got punished for it. I had a depressing month of misery, and what do I get in return?
An eternity of misery.
