Place of slience, moving shadows
crimson eyes are strangely gleaming in the darkness
madness starting to awake
playful desire starving of blood
get down limitless night
Beast of Blood.

Just Another Bella and Daughter Story
"Uh, can I borrow another one of your shirts?" I asked Fredrik. "I don't think I can fit in my other ones anymore…" I looked down again and wondered why I didn't notice before. I mean, it's not like you can just grow breasts over night without noticing. I wondered if it was before or after Jasper helped. I wondered if they had to feel it. I smiled at the thought of my fiancée having to grow a chest for me.
"Sure you can," he smiled. I pulled him out of the way of Emmett's fist.
"You're wearing his shirt?" Carlisle asked.
"Yeah, this is his." I looked down at the long sleeved shirt I had on; it was blood stained and the sleeves were ripped off. "Or, it used to be his…"
"Come over here," Carlisle motioned. I stepped in front of him and he checked the tag. He pulled a hair from the collar. "So you need to be able to touch someone," he stated as he examined the hair. "But it doesn't have to be the body; you just need something like a hair."
"So if I have somebody's hair, I have their power?" I asked. He nodded hesitantly. "That's good to know," I stated. I didn't want to think about anything until I was away from Edward. "I still need a shirt."
Carlisle motioned to the stairs so I left with Fredrik. When we got upstairs I went straight to my mother's jewelry box. I grabbed one of her hair ties that had a few loose hairs on it and put it on my wrist. Fredrik looked at me confusedly but I told him that I'd tell him later. With Mom's hairs I'd be able to block Edward from reading my mind. I held Fredrik's hand as we went to his room to grab a shirt. He handed me a black t-shirt from his closet and sat on the bed; watching me.
"Sorry to disappoint you but I'm going to change in the bathroom," I told him. "I want to know what I look like, just in case some other body parts grew that I wasn't aware of."
Fredrik laughed and laid down on the bed. I fought the urge to lie down next to him and found his bathroom. I took one look in the mirror and walked back out.
"I think your mirror is broken," I told him.
"Why do you think it's broken?" he laughed.
"I don't know, something's just wrong with it."
He got up and led me back into the bathroom. We stood in front of the mirror.
"It's not broken," he concluded with a smile.
"Then who is that next to you?" I asked. It felt like I was missing something important but I couldn't put my finger on it.
"You're the only one next to me," he grinned. "Watch." He lifted his arm up and so did his reflection. I watched as his reflection put its arm over the reflection of another person. She was extraordinarily beautiful. Her long brown hair shone in the light and her proportions were impossibly perfect. She was incredibly thin but still looked healthy. Her arms were lightly toned, with muscles barely visible under her pale skin. She looked almost like a slightly younger version of my mother. She looked like she belonged with Fredrik and I grew insanely jealous as his reflection set its arm around her. When I felt Fredrik's arm on my shoulder I jumped with the reflection of the girl. My arm accidentally hit the glass causing the mirror to crack.
"Well, now it's broken," Fredrik laughed. He picked me off of the counter and held me where the glass was whole. "That person, right there, in my arms; that's you."
I looked back at the mirror and saw that the reflection was looking the same way I thought I must have looked; confused. Only she wore the confused look much better than I could have.
I looked back up at Fredrik like he was insane.
"What will it take for you to realize that that is you?" he asked.
"But it's not me," I told him. I thought it was pretty obvious; maybe he needed his eyes checked.
"So you're saying that you know how you look better than the mirror does?" he asked mockingly. The way he said it made what I was saying seem somewhat idiotic.
"That…" I pointed to the mirror. "That is really me?"
"Yes."
"Are you sure?" I asked him.
"Quite positive," he laughed. "Now, can you get dressed or do you need help?"
"I got it, I got it," I told him as he set me down. Before he left he took my face in his hands and kissed me deep.
"Trust the mirrors," he told me as he left.
I unbuttoned my shirt and threw it in the dirty clothes pile that was forming near the door. I reached over to pick up the other shirt off of the ground which apparently wasn't such a great idea. My new breasts were in the way and it took me by surprise. "Gah!" I exclaimed as I jumped back.
"What is it?" Fredrik asked from outside the door.
"I'm just not used to this body yet," I mumbled as I picked up the shirt again. I threw it on and brushed through my hair a few times. The knots came undone quicker than I would've thought possible but I shrugged it off to vampire-ness. As I brushed my hair I began to really study my face. My cheekbones were higher and more pronounced and I lost the little bit of extra fat that I had around my cheeks. What really caught my attention were the red eyes. I stared at them curiously as I tried to figure out why they were that color.
"You okay?" Fredrik asked from outside the door. I stood up and walked back in his room.
"Sorry, I got distracted," I explained.
"The mirror again?"
"No!" I shot. "Well, maybe…I was wondering why my eyes were red."
"You still have human blood in your system. Your eyes will stay like that until there isn't any human blood left."
"How long will that take?"
He hesitated before answering. "Well, thanks to me you don't have that much human blood left, hence my red eyes, but you probably still have enough for eight months or so."
"That's not too bad…"
He smiled. "We need to get downstairs before they start suspecting something."
"I can't tell them I'm bleeding anymore, can I?" I pouted.
"Sure you can," he laughed. "Just, no one will believe you anymore."
We walked to the living room hand and hand as everybody's eyes followed us.
"That took a while," Emmett stated.
"She had a confrontation with my mirror," Fredrik laughed.
"I did not!" I exclaimed.
"Then why did you break it?" Fredrik smirked.
I opened my mouth to say something but couldn't come up with anything that sounded sane. I closed it again and glared at him.
"Why can't I hear you?" Edward asked.
"Oh yeah," I said. "Mom, can I borrow a hair tie?" I held up the wrist that had the band around it.
"Sure," she shrugged with a smile. "Make sure you hold on to Fredrik, he's the one who really needs it."
I looked up at a grinning Fredrik. He grabbed my waist and pulled me closer, kissing my forehead. He looked around and smiled.
"Well, that's pleasant," he laughed. "Imagine that; me actually safe within my own mind."
"What were you thinking to make you think that you weren't safe in your own mind?" Edward questioned.
"You'll never know," Fredrik laughed.
I smiled as I pulled away, breaking all contact with his skin. He stopped laughing as his head shot to Edward. "This is for not helping me with that little crowd this morning," I whispered.
"You little sneak," he whispered back smiling. "I was just enjoying my freedom of mind."
Emmett came up behind him and held him in a choke hold. I appeared at Emmett's side and in one swift movement pulled his fist back and pushed his elbow in; forcing his arm off of Fredrik. I didn't know what to do with the arm after I pried it from Fredrik's neck so I just threw it away, taking Emmett along with it. He landed on Edward on the couch.
"Good aim," Fredrik stated. I smiled up at him.
"Oh, it's on!" Emmett declared happily as he lunged at me. I moved out of the way but he turned sharply and still came after me. I didn't know what else to do so I just started to run around the couch. I was aware of every single detail as I ran around the room. I could see where each piece of furniture was, I saw every little move the others made, and I jumped in time when Alice stuck her foot out. The feeling of running freely was exhilarating. Emmett chased me around until I started to gain on him. I laughed as I jumped on his back, holding onto his neck like a piggyback ride. He stopped suddenly and ducked, throwing me through the air. He caught my foot and pulled me down to the floor. I reached my arms down and did a handstand before flinging my foot, and Emmett, towards the entryway.
"Not the door," Alice sighed. "Esme loves that door…"
I already felt bad enough putting Emmett through the wall, I didn't want him to ruin the door too. I took off after the flying Emmett, passing right under him, and got to the door before he did. I braced myself for impact but decided against it and just opened the doors, letting him fly freely into the yard. I closed the doors before Emmett could get back up again.
"Remind me not to piss you off," Fredrik stated as he wrapped his arms around me.
"Trust me; you'll remember," I laughed. I heard poundings outside, Emmett was getting up. "Does he ever stop?" I asked.
"Nobody's actually ever gotten him started before," Edward answered. "Pretend to lose or something."
Emmett burst through the door and smirked. "I'll get you this time."
"I won't pretend to lose but I'll make things a little fairer." I took off Mom's hair tie and handed it to Fredrik. It's wasn't fair to completely block Emmett's powers. I turned back to Emmett and smiled. "Ready?"
He grinned as he jumped at me. I heard the wind as it whooshed past my head. I thought I was out of range but one of his arms slammed against my neck and forced me into the wall. I grabbed one of his hairs and stuck it underneath my engagement ring. Forget fairness. If strength really was his power then I was in luck. I forced his arm away and slid down the wall. I let go of his arm and took off running again.
I headed outside because there was less to break. I had seen Emmett face Jasper numerous times so I figured that I knew enough to beat him. I stopped and turned to look at him, standing about the same distance as I had seen in the matches.
"Do you need a disability or something?" I taunted. "I'd hate for you to lose to a little girl." I had seen so many of these little matches I knew exactly who fell for what. You make fun of Alice's height and act on a whim, humble yourself around Jasper so he doesn't feel too confidant, think the worst things you can with Edward, touch Rosalie's hair, and don't even bother to try to match my mom.
"Would you rather have me be blindfolded or have my hands behind my back?" I teased. "Maybe you need both…"
Everybody was outside by then, some were even taking bets. That made Emmett angrier; nobody bet on him.
He attacked head-on so it was easier to get out of the way. As soon as I was clear I started taunting him again.
"You've raised me since I was six. You're like my dad. What? You can't even beat your own daughter?" I laughed as I shrunk. I guessed that there was another one of Fredrik's hairs in the collar. "Bet I could beat you like this." Well, I would have to…I didn't know how to change back.
Emmett attacked head-on again but this time instead of dodging to the side I just slid in between his legs. I caught one of his feet, causing him to trip and fall to the ground. He forced himself onto his hands and flung me towards the forest on the right side of the house.
When I was in the middle of the air I caught a scent of something. It was like smelling a barbeque after spending a month on an island eating nothing but leaves. The smell made me thirsty, made my mouth water with hopes of finding whatever produced such a scent. I landed on my feet casually and took off in Emmett's direction.
He braced himself for impact with his arms up and out in front of him. I could actually feel his surprise when I flew past him and into the back forests. I heard them shout at me but didn't pay too much attention. They were just trying to take the prize for themselves and I wasn't going to let them.
"After her!" Alice shouted. "We need to catch her!"
"It's a human," Edward stated.
the song-
"Beast of Blood" by Malice Mizer.
those are the actual lyrics but you can't understand them because of their accent
i actually thought that the song was full Japanese but it wasn't
:D
okay, here we go.
i want to thank everybody who participated in the contest,
it made my self esteem extremely high.
and i am not sure how to say this but i came up with a winner in a very strange way.
the number was
273
which was the age that Fredrik was when he first met Alice.
i would've taken
284
which is how old he is now, but nobody guessed that either...
okay,
so since nobody got the exact number i started to read whatever else they wrote.
contestant number one: guessed 372 which i say is freaken amazing. I mean, it was so close!!!
contestant number two: is a guy. I didn't know guys read my story, how many of you are out there?
and last but not least
contestant number three: mentioned Envy.
so, of course,
contestant number three won.
:D
so, here you go:
the winning review
From: Kyra
Um first off, luv the chappie, always do D. The Alice freak-out sceen was
awesome. Also, I just heard "Tainted Love" on the radio about 5 minutes
ago...odd.
“No red dress, no Vegas, no birthday cake, no Elvis…” she listed. I
turned to Fredrik and smiled.
“Elvis?” I asked.
“вЂI now pronounce you husband and wife. Thank you, thank you very
much’,” he mimicked. He sounded exactly like Elvis so I started to laugh.
“I guess the drive-through was busy,” he smirked.
Lol, I don't know which would be worse, a huge fancy smanzy wedding that
looks like it cost WAY too much to last for one day or an Elvis wedding in
Vegas (the idea just doesn't appeal to me for some reason...) I hope Fredrik
and Alice are still able to get away and get married in some random church in
the middle of nowhere or something.
Oh yea, before I forget, positive 437, the screen name I use all the time is
Kyra but my real name is Victoria. Um, I'm 16. Dark-brown hair and eyes, a
little under 5'5" tall. Barely tan at all cause I ahte the sun with a passion.
My train of thought is constantly in a jumble so a huge "congrats" to whoever
can follow my conversation. I get to be extremely hysterical and hyper if I
haven't gotten enough sleep. I am the nerd sitting in the back of the
classroom that no one talks to except for answers to the homework assignment.
I'm a real smart- (sorry to those who oppose cursing!) to those I know who
can take it without flipping out.
Reasons I luv ya. You're an anime freak, and one of the few who likes Envy on
fma. You're writing is easy to follow and you updated more than any other
author/ess I have kept track of so far. You have included ALL the characters
form Twilight in your storys and not just Bella and Edward. Also, this is the
best "Bella and Daughter" fic I've read yet.
yay!!!
okay, (more notes since i didn't do anything yesterday)
the song at the beginning of yesterday's (or this morning's) was "Centerfold" by J.Geils band or something...
:D
bad news
i have school starting next monday which means that starting next monday i won't be able to update as much as normal.
i will probably only be able to on the weekends
(again- i'm sorry)
the truth is that i didn't know that this would happen.
i started this summer with "In Jasper's Words" with the intention of rewriting the story in a whole lot of different points of views,
(including Jasper, Jane, Felix, Aro, Caius, Mike, Emily, and Peter)
but i never thought that i would get sucked into the mass that is FanFiction dot Net.
but i did.
doesn't that suck?
