Blood Moon
Deaths
Victoria decided that she needed to hunt. She would need all her strength to kill her newborn and it had been far to long since she had had a proper meal. She had hardly been able to stop herself from sucking Bella dry. So she left the helpless girl behind. The transformation would take approximately another day and a half. Giving her enough time to restore her resources.
The Cullens were still searching the forrest for any sign of Bella. Emmet and Rosalie had almost given up when they suddenly felt the presence of another Vampire nearby. The looked at each other an nodded - Victoria.
Victoria was on her way back to civilization to find herself a proper meal when suddenly her instincts kicked in. She turned around looking for the trigger, when she spotted two of the vampires Bella had been on the baseball field with. The biggest one of them and his mate - the one that looked like a Barbie doll. She cursed under her breath. She should have never let herself get this weak. They have come far to close before she noticed them. She acted quickly now, running off in the opposite direction. They chased after her and almost caught up with her but then they suddenly stopped. This confused her but she kept on running to make sure she was safe. When she was sure that they were no longer on her tracks she stopped. Why had they given up when they were so close? Why did she still feel threatened? That's when she heard the growl. The damn dogs. She had forgotten all about them. Her path was cut off by two of them. She spun around and found herself face to face with another one. She looked around. She was circled. They were slowly narrowing in on her. Then they attacked jumping right at her.
Emmet and Rosalie caught up with the others. "Victoria" Rosalie reported. "She was hunting in think. We almost had her." "but she crossed over to the mongrel's land" Emmet finished for her. "We waited. They finished her off." Rosalie concluded. The others nodded uneasily. Bella was safe from Victoria now, but she was transforming into a vampire this very moment, all alone and they still had no idea where she was. "We have to find her before the change is complete, so she won't get in trouble. How much time do we have left Alice?" Jasper stated. "24 hours tops. She bit her about two days ago." Alice answered. "She came from the north west." Emmet informed. "All right, we need to hurry." Edward stated before he took off with Alice and Jasper right behind him.
Meanwhile Bella was experiencing excruciating in pain. She opened her eyes looking around anxiously. It was dark but she could see everything very clearly. Roughly shaped wet stone walls Bats hanging from the ceiling but aside from them she was alone there was no one else. She tried to scream for help but she couldn't open her mouth. She couldn't make a sound. In spite of the intense pain she was feeling everywhere in her body like flames licking through her veins, she tried to stand up. But her body wouldn't obey her. She couldn't move a muscle aside from her eyes. Hot and angry tears rolled down her cheeks. She was held prisoner in her own body.
After what felt like days to her the pain changed. It retreated slowly from her fingertips and toes. But in her center the burning sensation intensified by multiple degrees and her heartbeat picked up a frantic pace and it felt like burning hot sand from the desert was puring down her dry throat. Suffocating her. Making her long for something she couldn't quite put her finger on. All of this scared her even more. she could feel herself starting to panic. Then the burning pain retreated further from her hands and feet and further to the center of her body. The parts that were pain free now felt strangely cool in comparison to the rest of her burning hot body. The pain in her heart was intensifying even more. It was beating faster and faster like it was gonna jump right out of her chest. Her back arched as if the fire was dragging her up and her torso slammed down on the hard, damp surface. Then her heart missed a few beats, stuttered once more and stopped with one last thump.
She was lying very still for some time relishing the silence and the blissful absence of pain. Then she sat up. She still felt that strangely uncomfortable sensation in her throat. But she had other things to worry about and tried to ignore it as best as she could. She looked down at her body confused. Why had she been in so much pain? She looked perfectly fine. Was she dead? And if she was, was this heaven or hell or something entirely different? She stood up awkwardly and navigated her way towards some kind of a lake. The water was crystal clear and shimmering slightly pinkish. (A/N: from her blood loss. but she obviously doesn't remember that) She took a step closer and suddenly there was someone staring back at her. She shrieked away from her and stared suspiciously at the water. But she longed for something to cure the burning in her throat, so she kneeled down anyway and drank the water greedily. But that wasn't helping at all. It made her feel sick and she threw it all up again coughing furiously, tears of frustration brimming in her eyes. She stared into the water. That strangely beautiful woman was staring back at her again and Bella reached out to her and so did she but when her fingers touched the surface of the water her image blurred. And she realized that it was her reflection. She stared at herself mesmerized touching her unnaturally pale white face and feeling her hair. Smooth like silk. But her eyes were ... red. Flaming red.
She was taken out of her reverie when she remembered the burning thirst in her throat again. So she stood back up and wandered towards the distant light. She stepped outside into blinding sunlight noticing her skin glistening and held her arm in front of her face turning it around in awe. Then she walked away from the cave. She was in a forrest. But something was off. Since when was a forrest this … loud. All this twittering, clattering and rustling. She had no idea where she was going or what she was looking for but she began to wander through the trees. Images of a girl flashed through her mind. She was beautiful and quite petite. She looked so fragile crying and shaking. It made her uncomfortable. She tried to shake them off, but they kept popping up, haunting her.
She had been wandering through the forrest for a long time when a delicious scent hit her and the burning sensation in her throat intensified even more. She felt a strange longing for whatever it was and started to run following the scent. She ran so fast, it felt like flying and she didn't even trip once. She was a little proud of herself. After a while she heard voices and laughter ... and something like tiny little drums? Then she could make out a clearing ahead of her with tents and little kids running around. She stopped and angled her head to the side in wonder.
