Disclaimer- I Own nothing but the plot.
AN-The ERIC/BELLA story is in the process of being brainstormed and the prologue and first chapter should be out in a week or two's time. I really need to get it planned out because i don't won't to mess it up. ALSO i have the first chapters of my BELLA/ALCIDE (called mixed blood) and my BELLA/WARLOW (Down the rabbit hole) story written. The Bella/ALCIDE story should be out tomorrow and BELLA/WARLOW the day after. If you fancy any of these then pop over and have a quick look. They will be very OOC and AU though.
Bella was in shock. They were the ones posing as angels? But...why? Bella's mouth opened and closed a few times. She was trying to grasp the words to say but they kept escaping her. It felt like she was chasing butterflies. Was it just Edward and Alice or where the whole coven in on it too. Bella tried to think. The Cullens obviously didn't want her to meet Godric. They would even go as far as to kill her then let them meet. Bella could not pin point a reason why, there were too many answers she didn't have to make up a reasonable explanation.
Bella tried to stand up but the feral vampire let lose a snarl that could of rivalled a wolfs. Godrics grip tightened around her and she felt his fingers digging into her arms. Bella reached up and held his arm, stroking slightly. "Bella love, Get away from that ... thing. It's a monster. You need to come with us. Now." Edward said as he took a step closer. He had the same crooked grin as before but know it just made her feel sick. Godric pulled her even further into the wall and his body. How fucking dare he! He wanted this church to fucking kill her and know he wanted her to come like a good little lap dog. Bella wasn't his god damned lamb anymore. SHE was the lion. Bella lifted her hands towards him. Edward smiled and took another step thinking she was going to reach out towards him.
"NOT this time you Sparkling, Ginger FUCKWIT!" Bella let loose the power she had been gathering in her hands. A bright blue light shot out and hit Edward in the chest like a sledgehammer. He went flying through the wall with all the grace of a duck on land, bringing bits of red brick and plaster flying. Alice jumped out of the way, crouched and snarled at Bella. Bella could see the venom dripping from her teeth from where she was huddled into Godric. She charged but before she reached her, Godric had left her side and was in the process of ripping off her arm. The tearing of rock echoed through the half destroyed basement. The shrill cry was louder.
In the blink of an eye, Edward had resurfaced and had Godric around the throat. NO! Bella didn't understand why but she knew Godric couldn't die. He would end up taking half of her with him. Just because she didn't understand it doesn't mean it was fact. Bella went to blast them again but a red blur blocked her view. It was the same shade of vibrant red that had saved her from the maenad. When the blur stopped and Bella could see the wild curls and face, Bella thought she was in some kind of lucid dream.
Victoria stood there in all her glory with her hand through Edwards throat. He spluttered and silver venom leaked everywhere. Bella could see Victoria's hand on the other side of Edwards throat. Godric was still tearing into Alice. She was nearly just a torso and head by know. It was straight from a horror movie. Victoria looked Bella in the eyes. "Go, I've got these two." She turned her attention to Eric. "Get Godric and Bella to hotel Camille. I will be there soon. Don't let anyone you don't personally know near Bella. My kind is full of tricky fuckers. If a Jasper Whitlock is there, he's safe I know him. BUT trust no others, Got it? Well what are you waiting for? GO!"
Eric grabbed Bella's hand and looked like he was waiting for something. Godric stopped his attack on a decimated Alice and snapped around. He was before Bella before she could even blink and had snatched her away from the Viking. Eric just smiled and reached for Sookie. "Thought that would get your attention. Bella be careful on your way out. Stick with Godric. He may not be in a right frame of mind right now but you're safest with him."
Bella didn't feel like arguing. She had been telling them they needed to get out since the beginning. Nodding her head Bella moved to follow every one out. A white fist appeared in her vision. The hit flew Bella into a wall where she crashed, her head thumping the wall with a resounding bang. Bella crumpled to the floor. Everything was fuzzy again. "You stupid bitch, you were meant to die!" Bella could here Edward shout. His voice sounded far away. Before Bella fell unconscious she could hear a snarl and the sound of tearing.
Bella awoke with a weight on her back. She was on her stomach on a comfy bed. Craning her head around she found Godric on top of her again. His hair was ruffled and he was covered in blood and ...Venom. he really was quite adorable when he wasn't tearing something or someone apart. Bella wanted to reach out and touch him but withdrew that idea. Sighing Bella turned around and spotted her cousin in the single bed next to hers. Sookie was wide awake.
"Sookie what happened? Is everybody okay?" Sookie looked at Bella and scooted over closer. "Everything is fine Bella. You've got a wicked black eye though. You should have seen it. Godric went ape. He ripped through Edward like he was toilet paper. It took Eric and the red headed woman to drag him away and out of there. We were so worried. You know because you've had a hard blow to the head twice in one day and that couldn't have done anything good to your brain."
Bella snuggled further into the bed. She really wished she had of seen that. "OH! And that red headed woman said to meet her on the roof when you wake up. She said she has a lot to tell you." Bella huffed. Everything was so confusing and when she thought she was going to get answers all she got was more questions. Was this going to be any different? Bella nodded "can you help me get out from under him? He's heavy and I can't move him by myself." Sookie scrambled out of bed and help Bella heave Godric off her back. "It's about 4 in the afternoon, you have about an 2 hours of vampire free time, I'd go talk to her know if I was you. With the way Godric was acting yesterday I don't think he's going to like waking up and you not being here. Before you ask Eric explained some things to me last night, I'll tell you when you get back from you talk. "
Bella turned around and got changed. The dirt and grime coating her clothes made her itch. She wore a simple pair of jean shorts and a tank top. She still wanted to be in bed, there was no way she was going to put any more effort in her appearance at the moment. The walk up to the roof seemed to go by in seconds. She was nervous and she didn't know if Victoria was just another stage the Cullen's have put in place in the whole 'LETS KILL BELLA' play. Bella pushed open the thick metal door and stepped onto the roof.
Victoria was near the edge. The wind was blowing and her bright red curls danced. She never turned to face her but Bella knew she knew she was here. The sun made her white skin sparkle like a crystal. "You need to stick with Godric, Bella. He'll look after you. The church is still up and planning and this won't be the last of them. Whoever is doing this is smart. And old. That is never a good combination to make an enemy off. The Cullen's where high up in this whole thing but they weren't the ones behind it. They're not old enough. Whoever is doing this is keeping in the shadows." Bella was even more confused. Did everyone just speak in riddles? Not this time Bella NEEDED answers. Half cocked excuses and warnings could go to hell.
"What do you mean old enough? And doing what? The Cullen's wanted me dead and I don't know why! Everyone is speaking in riddles and I can't keep up! I don't know what's happening and I'm scared Victoria. What if they can't get to me so they go for Sookie , or Jason?" Bella started to hyperventilate. She couldn't lose anyone else. Victoria was in front of her in a blink of an eye. She grasped Bella by the shoulders and forced her to look at her.
"Breathe Bella. You're going to be okay. You have people to protect you, the same thing that happened to me won't happen to you. I'm going to tell you a story. Knowledge is the best weapon, Remember that."
Victoria backed up a little and Bella tried to calm down. Victoria started to pace. "Certain vampires have mates Bella. They're their whole world. Take away a mate and you end up with a Grimm. There bad Bella. They will destroy everything in their way. The last Grimm was 6,000 years ago and he wiped out a whole continent. They are not something you want running free Bella." Victoria breath hitched as she mentioned the last Grimm. Bella found this curious but waited for the red head to carry on.
"For some reason ... cold ones have been purposefully taking away the mate. It was found out a long time ago that a bite from a cold one can block the connection. Once the mate is turned into a cold one the vampire will start to turn and fast. The connection breaks fully. Bella you're a mate. To Godric. They tried to turn you to get him to be a Grimm. I couldn't let that happen. Not again and not to you." Bella let the information sink in. Victoria looked like if she could, she would be sobbing.
"How do you know all this Victoria?" Victoria stopped and looked like she was off in her own memories. Everything fell into place like a jigsaw in Bella's mind. If this was true, what she was thinking she understood everything know. "How old are you Victoria?" Bella walked up and grasped Victoria's arm. Victoria looked at her with venom filled eyes and such a sad smile that it literally broke Bella's heart. "I'm 6,000 years old Bella. You were always too smart for your own good."
Bella let her hand fall limply to her side. Victoria didn't know all this because she researched a legend. She knew because she had lived through it. Her mate was the one who went on a rampage six thousand years ago. "I'm so sorry, Victoria. I really am. But why are you helping me? " Victoria sighed and looked over the darkening horizon.
"Our tribe was a strong one. I was young. I went wondering and one night a vampire came and found me. He kidnapped me and I hated him at first. He was persistent though and I found myself falling for him a year after. Dante was my whole world. Once you give into the bond there's no going back. It will consume you, but that's okay because you're not alone. It's like finishing a circle , that your finally whole. One day while Dante was in his day rest a cold one had come , cornered and snatched me. He raped and turned me on the cold forest floor. It burnt, oh god did it burn. He ran with me for my whole turning. He dumped me by myself in a land I had never been in before and left. By the time I made it back to my homeland it was too late." By now Victoria was dry sobbing. Bella tried to get her to stop if it was hurting too much.
"No you need to know what's going to happen if things go wrong for you and I need to tell someone. Everything was gone. My tribe was nothing but bones on the floor and broken huts. I came face to face with my worst nightmare. Dante was nothing like he was before. His eyes were so red and his veins were glowing yellow. His long black hair had fallen out too. I remember how we used to plait each other's hair in front of the fire. It was my favourite part of the day. Dante didn't recognize me because I had become a cold one. I ended up killing him with our ritualistic wooden knife. I had to cut his heart out Bella, with the knife that was used for our wedding! In the cave we called home! You need to realize how serious this is. You will have to do the same if Godric ever turns. Could you handle that? Killing the other half of your soul? I watched as the life left his eyes and he slipped from me like grains of sand through my fingers. Do you know what he did Bella? He smiled as he stroked my hair. He was dying and he still smiled at me. I have had to live with this for 6,000 years! Every time I shut my eyes that smile is there to greet me. I thank god I can't sleep for I fear of the dreams I would surely have. This is not a life Bella , this is HELL! I don't want anyone else to go through what I have had too. So please listen and stick with Godric, Stay with the people who can look after you. It was just me and Dante against the cold ones but You and Godric have people who care, you can live through this. Together."
Victoria was a heap on the floor by the end sobbing tears that would never fall. Bella was frozen on the spot. Tears cascading down her own face. Bella stumbled over to Victoria and wrapped her arms around the red head. Victoria grasped her hands and placed a square metal thing in her palm. Bella looked down and found a lighter. Oh no. "Please Bella. I've got you to Godric. It's my time for rest, I'm so tired. Please I can't do it myself. I met Dante at sun set. I think its poetic if I re-unite with him on a sunset thousands of years later. It's time for me to be whole again."
Victoria stood up and pulled Bella with her. Bella couldn't see through the tears obscuring her vision. Bella fumbled with the zipper lighter. Her hands were shaking and she couldn't get it to light. Victoria's hands wrapped around hers and helped her bring the flame to life. Bella looked up into Victoria's red eyes. "Don't be scared to love him Bella. I was in the beginning. But I wouldn't trade anything Heaven or hell could give me for the memory of him. Godric's your other half, just like Dante is mine. Live Bella. Live for Godric and Live for the life Dante and me had snatched away."
Bella watched as her hand moved the lighter to make contact with Victoria's skin. Violet flames engulfed Victoria. A true smile was firmly on place on the red heads face with a whisper of Dante still on her lips. The bright flames out shone the setting sun in the Texan horizon and Bella watched as Victoria turned into dust and ash floating away in the wind.
Bella staggered through her hotel room door. Sookie was still there. "Are you okay Bella? Why are you crying? Did the cold one try anything?" Bella shook her head. She wasn't in the mood for this anymore. She just wanted to curl up and never come out. Bella walked over to the still asleep Godric and sat down on the side of the bed. She ran her hand through his hair. The haunting voice of Victoria still playing in her mind. "Not know Sookie. I need time alone. Why don't you go find Eric?"
Sookie resigned and left. If the cold ones thought they could get away with any off this they had another thing coming. They weren't going to get away with what they did to Victoria and Dante, and they definitely were not taking Godric from her. She would find out who was behind it and watch them and the Cullen's burn. Just like she had to watch Victoria burn. She wasn't going to be a push over anymore. If they wanted a fight they would get one, they just chose the wrong partner to dance with.
Bella moved to lean against the headboard and pulled Godric's head onto her lap. Touching him seemed to calm her down. It made her feel like everything was going to be alright. That she was going to be alright. Bella felt fingers on her wrist and looked down. Godric's blue eyes were staring up at her. The red had faded even more but still not enough in Bella's eyes. Bella smiled at the vampire and felt him kiss her fingers one by one. "Are you hungry?" Godric sat up like lightening and cradled her head in his hands. He brought their faces closer and looked at her in wonder. "I found you. It wasn't a dream. You're really here this time." Godric smiled and let out a full bellied laugh.
Bella joined in. She held his wrist and stroked her thumb across the underside. "Hey buddy, I think it was me who found you, you know, you being captured by a psycho church and all." Bella was pulled into his chest as he laughed even more. "You're everything I've dreamt of the last 200 years and more." Yep it's sealed. If the cold ones or any other big bad tried anything they were getting a fight and Bella was bringing a rocket launcher.
AN- Sorry for getting rid of Victoria but I need something to smack Bella in the head to let her know how serious this whole situation was. Thank you for all the reviews, favs and follows. They have been over whelming good seen as I only decided to write this on a whim. Thank you and I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
