Ten miles from Forks, in the forest near the small town of Sappho, Victoria was running to her hotel room. She had just finished her business in Forks and had come to have a mid-day snack; she also had something else to feed…
Victoria licked the blood from her hands as she put another slab of meat on the platter. Humans are so stupid, she thought. They would surely label this mans death as a wild animal attack, and in reality, was it so different? She grabbed the large platter and starter running again into the forest.
Setting the platter down on the forest floor, Victoria looked into Its blank white eyes. She was deep into the forest no sound could be heard other than the deep guttural growl that was emanating from The Beasts mouth, and the sound of the three chains around its neck clashing together. It was covered in shadow and chained to a tree, hidden from the outside world, but that would soon change.
"Are you hungry?" Victoria said to the shadow that was The Beast. A roar was its answer.
"Are you thirsty? Do you need to feed?"
Instead of a growl or a roar there came a different sound. A loud, deep 'yes' came from the shadows, it wasn't a clear 'yes', it had a scratchiness to it.
"Good. I have a nice little snack waiting for you. A girl. Her name is Isabella."
"Isabella." The beast whispered back, its voice human, saying the name exactly how Victoria did.
Victoria moved the platter just out of reach of The Beast, taunting it.
"I was hoping you were hungry." And with that she left, leaving The Beast howling in misery from thirst and hunger.
