A/N: Here we are again, and honestly I think I'm going to like this chapter. Because you see- once people plan, they fulfill those plans.
So I give you...
XxXxX The Fulfilling XxXxX
"So, we're hunting them," I said, standing partly concealed in the woods, but watching the humans at a safe distance.
"Yes," Victoria answered. "But you're just a child still, so I will bring one to you," she answered, smiling gently at me. I smiled back. I was excited for my first real kill.
Victoria began walking towards a gathering of humans who were standing closer to the woods than to the city.
I had been listening into their conversation for a while now, and knew that they were on a date together.
"...blood bath. Tim Burton is a genius," the guy said, wrapping his arm around the girls shoulder.
"Yeah, and Johnny Depp is an amazing actor," the girl said, leaning into his arm.
"If you keep going on about him like that, I'll think you like him more than me," the boy teased, bumping against her side playfully.
It was rather sickening, and I most certainly do not mean Johnny Depp. ( I agree Bella, the man is flipping fantastic...) I meant their love, they way they stared at each other. The glint in their eyes, the contentment they feel in that one moment. They had it all without even knowing it, and I was going to rip it away from them in a single moment.
And I would enjoy it. If I didn't get to love- why should they? If I didn't get to live- they shouldn't! It all made perfect sense to my twisted mind, and I watched gleefully as Victoria approached them.
"Which one do you want Bella? They're both rather tasty," Victoria said, not bothering to keep her voice down. The humans noticed her and stopped their walking along the edge of the woods.
"Huh?" The girl said, burrowing herself closer to her boyfriend.
Yes sweetheart, be afraid.
"Well Bella?" Victoria asked again, beginning to circle the couple.
"The boy," I called, bringing their attention to me. They had to squint in order to see me with their imperfect eyes. I was sure I was a sight to see, I was beautiful, I had looked into the mirror at Victoria and Laurent's house.
I stepped closer, as Victoria narrowed her circle. Their heartbeats were utterly beautiful, a symphony of drums, the tempo's beating nervously... Perfect...
"What do you want?" The girl asked, she just couldn't keep her mouth shut for me.
Victoria stopped her prowling in front of the girl. Leaning closer, she mesmerized the girl with her looks, stopping both the young couple. I could hear their heartbeats pick up, beating out an erratic tempo.
"I want you," Victoria said, taking a pale, slim finger. She traced it down the girls cheek.
"Your cold," the girl whispered, but we heard it.
Victoria chuckled, and it sounded beautiful to them, I'm sure.
"Yes, I'm very cold."
And she attacked. I was standing behind Victoria, and didn't have a clear view of what was happening. I saw her throw her head back, red hair flying, and heard the heart-wrenching scream of the girl.
But it was the boyfriend I was watching. His eyes were wide with horror, and I could almost see his world shattering as he watched his girlfriend being drained to death.
I closed my eyes. If I watched, I would loose my nerve, I would start feeling sympathy for them.
I thought of him. Not him- my mind screamed, Edward. Edward, Edward, Edward! I let the fury my body felt at his name fill me, let the rage take over, and before I knew it, Victoria was standing in front of me, her arm hooked through the boys.
He was screaming, but wasn't staring at me like I figured he would be. He was trying to twist his body around, trying to make his way back to his girlfriend who was laying dead in the grass.
The smell of fresh blood took over my senses, and deep growls ripped from my throat.
The smell was so much sweeter than the animal I'd drank from. My nostrils flared as I tried to take in the entire smell.
The boy smelled like cinnamon. Sweet, earthy.
"Beautiful," I snarled, the words and my tone of voice a sharp contrast.
I reached out a pale hand and took the boy by the throat (his skin burned my hand, he was so hot), forcing him to look at me- not his dead girlfriend.
"Vanessa," he whimpered, his eyes- green my mind registered- weren't looking at me still. I wanted him to look at me.
"Hush," I whispered, trying to make my voice soothing. It must have worked, because his eyes darted to my face, taking it in slowly. I allowed him to study me for a moment, trying to focus on everything but the burn in my throat.
"I'm so-"
I never let him finish.That moment would haunt me for the rest of my existence, and each and everyday of my "life" I wondered what the boy would have said. What his last words, whispered in terror, would have been.
My teeth pierced his neck just as easily as they had with the deer, but this time the elixir that flowed into my mouth was so much... better.
I could taste the life, so raw and powerful, yet so easy to take away. I felt pulse of the heartbeat, driving the blood toward my awaiting throat, and I moaned in pleasure at the taste.
Incomparable to the animal blood. Gosh- how had the Cullen's survived like that? Their name sparked nothing within me this time- I was too far gone.
I drank in deep gulps, wanting to savor each drop, but not enough to slow down my pace. Too soon for my liking, the body was dry, and I cradled him in my arms for a moment, staring at his eyes. They were open and glassy.
I laid his body next to Vanessa, and wished deep down that I knew the boys name. This was historic for me- my first real kill, and I knew nothing about the boy other than his girlfriends name.
"That was good," Victoria stated, grinning at me. "More than good, really. Brilliant."
I took a mock bow, smiling. "Thank you, I'll be here for eternity!"
We howled in laughter at my joke which was so ironically true.
We'd live forever, and if forever tasted anything like the blood I'd drank tonight, I was going to love it.
A/N: I couldn't stand to write such a long chapter with the couple, because I know everything about them. I know the boys name- and I know exactly what he was going to say, but I won't tell.
Leave me a review- pretty please?
