Sorry it has taken me awhile to post this. I've been trying to write the first couple of chapters of Umbra so I can post the first chapter after I post the last chapter of this story. That one will be straying a lot more from New Moon than this story did. So I'm just trying to get some inspiration =) But I do hope you guys like this chapter! And I lied the last chapter, there are two more chapters after this one!

And we have passed 200 reviews! You guys are freaking amazing! I seriously break out into the biggest smile every time I get that review email. And follower/favorite email. You guys have made posting this so worth it! I'm hoping you will continue to read once I post Umbra.

I hope you enjoy the chapter! Leave a review and let me know what you think.. Don't hate me to much for following so much of twilight! That's why I'm trying to put more thought into Umbra. Secrets will be coming out so things will be different. Okay I'll stop rambling now =)

Chapter Twenty-Five

It seemed as if Hermione began to shift from happy teenage mother, so battle hardened soldier as she walked up to the steps to the ballet studio. She opened the door and waked in, as bravely as she could.

"Renee?" She yelled out. There were mirrors everywhere, but no Renee.

"Bella? Bella? BELLA?" The woman's voice sounded different and fear clenched her gut as she walked to a closet and found a tape playing on a TV that showed a younger Bella complaining about not wanting to perform.

Laughter made her turn around to face the red eyes of James.

"I must admit, for a moment I thought you wouldn't show up."

"Well I apologize for making you wait," Hermione said while rolling her eyes.

James laughed, "I see why they keep you around, you are very amusing for a human, and beautiful. Not to mention the strange smell that surrounds you. How is it that you seem to smell of power?" He pulled out a video camera and held it up to her face. "I found this and decided to make our time together a bit more entertaining."

Hermione cursed as he waved the camera in her face, she absolutely couldn't use magic while someone was recording her she would be in a lot of trouble if it could fell into the wrong hands.

"You know," He said as he walked towards her, "Your scent reminds me of a girl I once met. She was in the field that night. Your Alice. Did you know she was at an asylum before she was turned?"

"I don't care, Alice is a wonderful person." Hermione yelled.

James grabbed her shirt and pressed her back against the wall, "You've got guts for a little human haven't you. Well we need to change that."

And with a flick of his wrist she was thrown across the studio and into a large pillar. Her head smacked it and her vision went blurry.

"You smell so much better when your blood is running free little Bella." James said as he slowly walked towards her. When he was in front of her he kneeled and put his hand on her leg. "Alice was a special kind of human, and her blood smelled absolutely delicious. I was going to take her, feed from her, and kill her. But a vampire working in the asylum took pity on her, so he turned her. I got my revenge by killing him of course, but it wasn't the same. But now I seem to have you, with none of your precious Cullens around."

He waited a moment before bringing his hand down hard on her leg, breaking it in an instant. Hermione almost screamed but she bit her lip and whimpered as the pain hit her, she would not scream for him.

"Oh, you are a strong one aren't you?" He said with a sadistic smile.

She felt the blood running down her cheek but still refused to allow him the satisfaction of hearing her scream. Her eye sight went blurry again for a moment and then she felt James run a hand down her face. "Don't touch me." She yelled, pushing his hand away.

"You are definitely a feisty little thing. It's a shame that your life will be ended so soon. Maybe I will go back to Forks after I'm done with you. I believe I saw an adorable little boy in the window sleeping at your father's house. Maybe he will be my next target."

"Go to hell and you will not touch my son!" She growled out through the pain shooting through her leg. He picked her up and threw her into a nearby mirror. She bit her lip harder, now tasting blood, to control the scream wanting to break through. She could feel herself getting lightheaded as blood came out of the many wounds on her body. She was about to reach for her wand, statue of secrecy be damned, when James reached out and grabbed her right hand and bit into her wrist.

He was wrenched away a second later and Rosalie and Carlisle were immediately by her side.

"Bella!" Rosalie cried. "Look at me Bella."

Hermione tried to focus, she could hear Rosalie talking to her but there was a fire running through her veins, a fire that was not as intense as the Cruciatus curse, but it was still very painful. She refused to open her mouth or move, or she knew she would scream.

"What's wrong with her Carlisle?" Rosalie asked, desperate for an answer.

Carlisle began checking her and when he noticed the bite mark on her wrist he seemed to visibly pale further. "He bit her." He said with a grimace.

Edward, Emmett and Jasper were finishing up James and once they had burned his body Edward blurred to Hermione's side. "What?" He asked sounding choked up.

"He bit her, though why she isn't responding I'm not sure, but she is losing a lot of blood and if we don't do something soon she will turn."

"No, I won't let that happen." Rosalie and Edward said at the same time.

"You need to suck the venom out of her system, it is the only way. I know that you can do it Edward." Edward and Rosalie looked at one another before Rosalie backed up a bit for Edward to do it.

"I'm so sorry Bella." He whispered in her ear, and then he put his teeth to James' mark and bit down.
