Woww I'm sorry I never update. I'm kinda brain dead lately, and super busy all the time.
This one isn't my favorite, and I don't think it's all that good, but whatever. I wrote it really fast. Enjoy anyway :)

Betrayal
Irina had come to Forks to apologize.
She hadn't told her family where she was going. She'd whispered to Tanya that she needed to be alone for awhile, she was missing Laurent, she felt like she was missing something. Tanya had hugged her good bye and said she'd be waiting when Irina back.
Irina had made her away across the country to Washington, to this gray, rainy town, to apologize for not coming to a stupid wedding. She'd been thinking a lot lately, and realized that she couldn't blame the Cullens for this.
Wolves were wolves. The vampire had been about to attack a human. They had to do something. If she had destroyed the dogs like she wanted, it would certainly cause questioning. She'd be drawing attention to everything, and she couldn't have that happen.
It had been a brash decision, a stubborn one, and Irina regretted making ultimatums. But she was intent on fixing it.
She'd wandered into this unfamiliar territory, searching for the Cullen family, following the scent of vampires that had been here recently, trying to ignore the stench of dog. She heard voices in the distance, changing her course to go towards them.
The voices got louder, and Irina was close enough to smell that it was vampires, not humans, she was approaching. But it was an unfamiliar scent, one she'd never heard before. Maybe a She mentally prepared what she would say.
And then she'd looked around the tree in front of her and seen the child.
In the clearing, a deer carcass on the ground, they stood, huddled together.
A girl, clearly vampire, was farther away from them, Irina could see her a few trees away. But right in front of her was a dog, with a little girl with porcelain skin and the same smell all vampires had.
An immortal child.
Flashbacks, memories and recognitions Irina had made attempts to smother filled her mind. Deep longing filled her up, made her heavy. Her perfect posture slouched, hair falling in her face. All the pain that she'd been through, years and years ago, was pulling her down.
She breathed heavily, wanting to collapse, wanting to scream, wanting to go back and for this not to have happened.
Then the brunette vampire noticed her, made eye contact. Her eyes were confused, surprised, shocked. And then fear. She ran toward the immortal child, as if to shield her from view.
But Irina had already seen. She immediately turned and dashed off back into the forest, flitting between trees and not stopping until. She didn't know where she was going, but they could not find her.
The pain in her eyes had turned from hurt to absolute rage. She let out a breath through her teeth, a hiss that pierced the air whooshing around her.
How dare they.
She slammed into a tree, knocking it down with a noise like thunder. She hurled a rock into a river, causing a splash and an obvious crater to form at the bottom. She didn't are where she was, or who heard her, or what would even happen after this.
It didn't matter.
The Cullens knew what she and her sisters had been through, what had happened to their mother and brother.
They knew that this was wrong.
Maybe if she talked to them, they would apologize. Explain it. But she didn't think she could bring herself to go back there. It was too painful. And even if there was a reason, they still needed to be punished.
So a plan formed in Irina's mind, and she ran forward, her mission set. They would pay for this.
Irina didn't forgive easily.
