Yay! Finally another chapter! Enjoy.
Chapter 3: The First.
In the midst of the celebration, on the other side of the country, an old enemy was plotting her revenge. A large mass of red hair stalks the night searching for suitable victims. Suitable soldiers for the coming war, a war she has brought upon the world. Ever since the loss of her mate, James, Victoria has considered every vampire who is not with her, to be against her. She feels that the world is against her, all because of a human girl and her vampire mate Alice Cullen. Even though Alice was the smallest in her family, she was still the most cunning and the one who held one of the most valuable powers in the vampire world. Alice could see the future. However, Victoria knew how to move around Alice's power. The red head kept her mind in a state of chaos, never truly deciding what to do until it was too late.
Now, Victoria was residing in the state of New York. She had to admit NYC seemed to be her kind of place. There was enough blood here to keep her kicking for a good century or two. She smelled the blood of the people around her and her mouth seemed to water. Victoria often ventured into the clubs around the city to scope out the 'game'. She always thought of humans as sport for her. She and James used to play this game for so long. The chase was so invigorating.
Her undead heart seemed to break at the thought of her dead mate. So many nights were filled of the hunt and then lovemaking when they were done. Even though many vampires deemed her insane, she truly loved the man. Victoria loved him and his taste for blood. Many times after they fed, James would have blood everywhere on his lips. The thought of licking it from his lips brought the familiar sting of tears to her eyes.
She was sitting alone at a bar filled with humans. Her mouth twitched at the thought of playing the game once more. Victoria spotted a boy across the room and she smiled evilly at him. The boy thought this was sexy and strode over to her. The red head often used her charm to steal mortals away to feed off of.
The boy sat down at an empty stool next to her and leaned in close. He spoke to her like he was trying to sweep her off of her feet. Victoria could smell the pungent scent of alcohol on his breath and wondered if he was even legal to drink.
She could tell that the boy wanted her. No human, man or woman could resist her charms. It seemed to be her talent, but she knew that it was the nature of the vampire. This went on for a long while. He kept drinking and she scrunched up her nose at the scent of his blood. However, in this day and age, it didn't help one to be picky. So after his last drink, Victoria grabbed his hand and led him to an alleyway just outside of the bar.
The red head kissed him viciously and he responded in kind gripping her hips. Victoria could feel her hunger getting the better of her and she pushed him harder against the wall. Her nose still scrunched at the smell of his blood but there was nothing she could do about that.
She almost roared in rage as she felt the boy's erect bulge against her. She never wanted anyone inside her. No one but James. It was then when she decided she was too hungry to play the game anymore. Victoria parted from the boys lips and when she looked into his eyes, she wondered if he saw the blood red there. Not waiting a moment longer, she shot forward and bit him on the neck. Victoria sighed as she felt her fangs extend and enter the skin. The erratic heartbeat coming from the body before her was so loud in her ears that she didn't even hear the boy scream in pain. She knew that even if he did scream no one would be able to hear him. From the hustle and bustle of the city and the music coming from the bar, no one would be coming to his aid.
The bloodlust was becoming strong in her body, but she knew that she picked him for a purpose. It was not just to feed; no, it was so she could create her army. Her newborn army. This boy would be the first of many created to serve her purpose.
When she was done here she would scour the entire country building her army. Victoria already had a few nomads on her side. She couldn't stand most of them and she wanted to kill all of them but still, it was a start.
Victoria let the boy go and exhaled deeply. She just stood there waiting for the venom to start kicking in. it wasn't long before he started twitching and screaming in pain. She smiled thinking of her future victims being in this state. When her thoughts ventured further into the future, she thought about the upcoming battle and then the victory. The laugh Victoria uttered was a terrifying one. It screamed vengeance and death. Not only for the Cullen's but also for the Volturi and anyone who would dare stand in her way.
The vampire race would be the superior one again, and all who are too weak to uphold her view will burn in the pyre along with the rest.
As the boy began to squirm from the heat of the venom running through his body, Victoria looked to the sky and saw a beautiful sight. A blood red full moon gazed upon her longingly. She basked in its light and felt comfort knowing that fate might actually be on her side. "I love you James. They will all pay." She growled into the night.
The redhead then picked her latest Child up from the ground and put him over her shoulder. They would have to find somewhere to stay for the night. It shouldn't be too hard, considering that this city had many decrepit and abandoned apartments and alleyways to keep her vigil. As she carried him through the dark passages of the city, Victoria could hear the heartbeat of the young man slow to a halt. She smiled for he would soon wake up. Soon he would be a soldier in her vast army. Soon he will be a tool fit to put an end to her enemies.
I always do like adding Victoria's POV to the story, even if its a little bit.
