Bella's POV

I bolted out of my apartment as fast as I could. The second Alice mentioned shopping, I was out. I sighed, and put on my white peacoat while I waited for the elevator to stop on my floor. When the elevator finally dinged, I stepped in and pressed the lobby button. It was only then, that I realized I was the only one in the elevator.

Suddenly the elevator stopped at the 2nd floor, and a familiar looking woman stepped into the elevator with me. She gave me a quick ounce over, then rolled her eyes, and retreated to the corner. I examined the woman more closely. She had long blonde hair that looked somewhat fake, a tan, way to much makeup on, and she had an oddly straight nose. I shuddered lightly, and ignored the woman.

" So, is this what you've been up to Bella Swan? College? Why would you even bother, Its not like anyone would hire you. " The woman said in a nasally voice. My shoulders fell with a groan. Of course I recognized this woman. Lauren Mallory. My high school enemy.

" Yes, as a matter of fact I am still in college. But I presume that you didn't even go. Am I right?" I sneered at her. She shook her head with proud satisfaction. I snorted.

" Yup! I mean whats the point of college if I already know I'm gonna marry well? Ya know? Cuz' I mean like when I marry Larry, then I won't have to work I'll be so rich. And I'll spend my whole days with Vicky and Jess. Shopping of course." Lauren bragged. As if being uneducated was a good thing. I snorted and rolled my eyes again.

" Sure, sure. Thats a fabulous plan Lauren. But one quick question. Who the hell are Larry, Vicky, and Jess? Not that I actually care, but I wanna have witnesses when I kill you. That way they'll know it was me." I said sarcastically. Who knew this elevator could be so slow?

" Um, Larry is obviously my boyfriend. He is the second in line heir to the Trump fortune ( AN: I'm totally making this up, so don't try to google Larry Trump or anything.) Yeah, and he is madly in love with me. Victoria and Jessica are my BFFs. You remember Jess from high school don't you? Yeah, well we're real tight. And me and Jess bonded with Victoria over hating you. I guess you are useful in some ways Swan. Well this is my stop. Toodles. Oh, and BTW, those boots are so last season." Lauren honked annoyingly as she waddled out of the elevator.

I couldn't help but laugh at her stupidity. She actually thought that she was cool! Just then, something struck me. I froze in the middle of the lobby and stood with my eyes wide open. Oh. My. God. Victoria. When Lauren said that her and Vicky bonded over hating me, she meant.... Victoria. So if Vicky was Victoria, then that means she knows I'm still alive and that she is going to find me and... I nearly fainted where I was. Victoria. Was. Back. Just then I felt icy cool breath on the back of my neck. I shivered. I didn't like the feel of it, and for some reason I felt as if I wasn't safe. A knot began to form in my stomach.

" Hello Bella. Welcome to hell." Before I could scream, Victoria smothered a cloth in my face. I thrashed around, but was soon to weak to do so against her vice grip on my arms. I felt sleepy suddenly. Like I was drifting off into wonderland. I felt my eyes drop. Soon I was engulfed in darkness. I wasn't quite sure if it was a good kind of darkness, or if it was bad, but all I know, is that I was too far gone to care.

Edward's POV

I turned around with a look of disgust on my face. Lauren Mallory and Jessica Stanley. What were they doing here. And why did they smell like a vampire? My family turned around and looked at them curiously. They all scrunched up their nose in disgust at the two women. Alice suddenly gasped. Her mind was filled with a vision of Victoria, Lauren, and Jessica. They were all sitting around a round table, in a shabby bar. Lauren and Jessica both had martinis in their hands, and they were clearly drunk.

" Sooo Vicky! Whats up? Did you get her? Is she dead yet!? " Lauren spluttered sloppily. In her drunken haste, she blew a bit of spittle on Victoria's hard face. Lauren and Jessica busted out laughing. Victoria clearly wasn't amused. She sighed and rolled her eyes.

" Yes. I did. And no, she isn't dead. Yet. " Victoria replied irritably. She slowly, but roughly wiped the spit off of her face. Jessica laughed boisterously.

" Ha ha ha! Vicky you are such a good friend! I'm glad that we bonded over hating her. That bitch deserves to die." Jessica attempted to say, but her words came out in a jumble. Victoria narrowed her already squinty eyes at the drunk girls.

" Right. Well, I would just like to take the time to thank you girls for helping me find her. I couldn't have done it without you. And now, I won't be needing your assistance. Good bye." Victoria said formally. But something about her demeanor lead me to believe that she wasn't in fact done with Lauren and Jessica. The two girls stared blankly after her, then giggled.

" Vicky's acting weird! Whats wrong with her? Do think maybe her and Riley broke up?" Jessica asked Lauren. Lauren shrugged.

" Maybe shes PMSing or somethin'. Whatever, I just want another drink!" Lauren and Jessica laughed together before draining another drink.

Alice and I both stared at each other in blatant amazement. This was not what we expected. Suddenly another vision soared through Alice's mind.

Jessica and Lauren were stumbling blindly through a dark hallway. They sang nonsense and stumbled about. After a few minutes of fumbling, Lauren finally opened the door to her apartment. The two girls giggled and stumbled in. Jessica slammed the door shut. Lauren flicked on the lights, and the room lit up. The girls kicked off their shoes and threw their bags on the floor.

" I'm gonna take a shower. you can do whatever." Lauren stuttered out. Jessica didn't even acknowledge her. Lauren began to strip, and turned on the water. She then pulled the shower curtain aside and tripped into the shower. She blindly felt around for her shampoo, and dumped the entire bottle on her hair. She closed her eyes as she rinsed the product out of her hair. Suddenly the lights to the bathroom shut off, and left the room pitch black. Lauren screamed. She then laughed drunkenly.

" Jess thats not funny, turn the lights back on. " There was creak as someone walked across the bathroom floor. The room was silent except for the noise of the water hitting the shower. All of a sudden there was an earsplitting shriek. The scream was muffled for a minute, before it was cut off. Jessica flicked the light on and looked around.

" Lauren? Whats wrong? Why did you scream-" Jessica stopped short as soon as she saw the shower. She screamed in terror. The shower curtain was covered in blood, and there were blood splatters all over the bathroom tiles. Jessica pulled the curtain aside carefully, and looked at Lauren's dead and mangled body. She looked away as she noticed the water was still running; washing away the blood from Lauren's body, making her look almost like a wax figurine.

Just as Jessica turned around, she screamed. A tall man with blonde hair stood in front of her blocking her exit. Jessica sighed in relief.

" Oh, Riley. Thank god your here. Look at what happened to Lauren! We have got to call the police!" Jessica spluttered. Riley grinned at her seductively.

" Not now Jessica. I've been waiting to be alone with you forever. There is something that we need to do. If you know what I mean." Riley winked at her. Jessica's heart rate increased.

" Me-e? B-but why? Don't you have Victoria?" Jessica stuttered. Riley advanced towards her with a sexy smile on his face.

" Yes, but Victoria doesn't give me the kind of satisfaction that you would give me. I talked to Mike Newton, your ex, and he said that you were a tiger in the bedroom. I've been dreaming about it ever since." Jessica smirked at this. She then strutted towards him.

" He was right. I am. Would you like to test out my skills?" She purred into his ear. He grinned and led them to Lauren's bedroom. He shut the door behind them. There were a few minutes of kissing noises a moaning, but soon there was a scream and a few thumps, then silence.

Victoria stormed out of the bedroom with blood smeared all over her mouth and shirt. She had an evil smirk on her face. Riley followed her out of the apartment.

" Thats what you get when you let lust get the best of you. Greedy bitches." Victoria muttered as she and Riley descended down the stairs.

Alice and I both gasped. Jasper held Alice to his chest, and soothed her. Everyone looked at me expectantly. I could only choke out on word.

" Victoria." But that was enough for my family to understand what we had just saw. Victoria was back. And she was after my Bella.

Yikes! This was a really scary chapter. I've always thought the scariest way to be murdered would be in the shower... (shudders lightly) I'll never be able to take a shower again without thinking about this incident... Anyway, sorry for the mini hiatus that I had unofficially put on this story, but it was necessary. Writers block is a bitch. ha ha. But the good news is, that I fixed the pictures of Bella on my profile, and I even found the perfect picture of Victoria. And she is wearing the same evil smirk that I always imagine her having! But I'm especially proud of myself for fixing the Bella pictures, because I think that the model is beautiful and looks just like the Bella I imagined for my stories. Especially her lips... Anyway, check it out.

REVIEW ME LOVES!!!
