Bella's POV

I groggily opened my eyes. I was not prepared for the scene that awaited me. I was in a dark basement of some sort, and there was nothing in the room except for a barren wooden book shelf, and a single light bulb that hung from the ceiling.

There were stairs right in the middle of the room and they lead to a harsh metal door that was bolted shut. I shivered. It was freezing in here. It was silent in the room. Not a single sound from above. Almost as if I couldn't hear anymore. Like I had gone deaf. Nothing.

I closed my eyes and opened them a few times before staring at my surroundings again. I was baffled. How did I get here? Why was I here? And more importantly, who was here? No sooner had the words crossed my mind, I spotted a faint pale figure glide in the shadows of the dark room.

My breathing hitched and I tried to stay as still as possible. I was afraid to even breath. What was that? I couldn't look around the room anymore. It was making me too skittish. I closed my eyes and shook my head.

"C'mon Bella. Stop making up things! There was no white figure in the shadows, and you aren't really trapped in this dungeon. Now all you need to do is wake up from this dream. This nightmare. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up." I chanted to myself in my mind.

There was a faint breeze, and then silence. I opened my eyes and shrieked. I had just come face to face with the single scariest face in my life. Victoria. So it wasn't just a dream. She was really back to get me. I stared at her in horror. Her fierce beady red eyes glared down at me intimidating me.

The Grudge had nothing on her. Her pale white skin glowed against the darkness. Her fiery red locks splayed across her face and shoulders like whipping flames. Her body crouched to my eye level. She was the single most terrifying thing I had ever seen in my life. Victoria's cold hard hand came crashing down on my lips to muffle my scream. She read the pure fear in my eyes and screeched with laughter.

" Oh, Bella dearest. You don't actually think that I will spare your life do you?" She cackled in her high pitched babyish voice. I cringed at the sound of it.

" W-why am I here?" I stuttered. Victoria threw her head back and cackled again.

" Oh, you poor baby. I forgot how long you were out. Hmm, how do I put this simply... I hate your spouse. I want revenge. I kidnapped you. And now you are here in the basement of a warehouse in North Dakota."

Its nothing about you personally. Just that I need revenge for James. And what better way to do this than kill Edward's love? An eye for and eye..." Victoria mocked me while she paced back and forth across the room. It was too fast. She looked like a talking, cackling, evil white blur.

I fidgeted and struggled trying to get over to her, but I was being restrained by something. I looked down and saw that she had tied me up in thick rope. I could hardly feel or move my body. I stopped struggling for a moment, before a rush of adrenaline and determination streaked through my body, and I began angrily thrashing from side to side, trying to wriggle out of the rope. I knew it was no use, but I couldn't stop myself.

Victoria laughed and mocked me while I tried in vain to get free. I could feel tears burning behind my eyes. My arms were bloody and bruised when I finally stopped my madness. My body was numb, and the ropes dug into my flesh.

I let the tears fall, and Victoria suddenly stopped laughing. She watched me silently as I sobbed. The oddest expression crossed her face. It looked like a mix between annoyance and... pity? For the faintest split second I hoped that maybe Victoria felt bad about her behavior, but just as quickly as the thought had crossed my mind, it was gone. Of course she wouldn't feel sorry for me. Was I stupid? She had already made it this far, there was no way in hell that she was going to give up that easily.

" Hmm. Well, aren't you sweet. Do you need a tissue to wipe up your tears? Don't you worry darling. I'll take care of you." Victoria mocked me in a fake motherly voice. I narrowed my eyes at her bitterly. Victoria raised an eyebrow and smirked at me. And then she was gone.

The room was silent, and the gust of air from her departure blew past me. I shivered. I closed my eyes and leaned my head against the hard cement wall. I sighed. I knew I was going to die. There was no use even trying to fight. I would be dead. But it was just as well. Its not like I had anyone to live for.

I opened my eyes, and to my surprise, Victoria was back. But she wasn't alone. There with her, stood a tall blonde man. His face was cold and impassive. He arched and eyebrow at my limp bloody form and eyed me up and down critically. Victoria jumped in front of the man; blocking my view of him. She grinned at me evilly and held up a white cloth in her hand. A tissue.

" I'm back. And I even brought a guest to come see you! Riley, introduce yourself." Victoria demanded. The man stepped around her body and stared at me with frightening eyes.

" I must say, you smell absolutely mouthwatering." The man grinned seductively at me. I shuddered. He wasn't even remotely appealing. Just terrifying. He snickered at my reaction. Crouching to his knees, he leaned forward so that he was only a few inches away from my face. I cringed into the wall.

" I'm Riley. And you must be Bella. What a pleasure to meet you." I turned my head away from him and looked in the opposite direction. He laughed and stood. Victoria's hand roughly turned my head back to face her.

" Now that you've met Riley, lets get on with this." Victoria stuck the tissue in my face, and began to pushed in. I screamed out in pain. Victoria and Riley laughed and sneered at me. Tears over flowed my eyes as she pressed harder and harder.

Not only could I not breathe, but my nose felt like it was broken. Victoria finally yanked the tissue away and stared at me with satisfaction. Because my hands were tied up by the rope, I couldn't cup my nose with them.

So instead I hung my head and cried. In the blur of my tears, I could see drops of red blood dripping onto my legs. I sobbed even harder as I was hit with the full force of the pain. I could feel the hot, wet blood smeared and dripping all over my face. My nose was throbbing in agony, and I couldn't move. Feeling as though, they had none enough damage to me, Victoria and Riley stood.

" Weak human." Riley muttered under his breath. I didn't even care to look up or address him. He and Victoria snorted before exiting the basement; leaving me alone. I let all of the sorrow and pity wash over me as I sat in the same position and sobbed.

Why couldn't they just kill me now and forget the torture? Did they intend on breaking every single bone in my body before they let me die? I wanted nothing more than to die. Get me out of this life. I hated it. I'm so sick of this same old routine happening over and over again! I become the helpless delicate human, but then I get abducted and torture. Usually break a few bones, then I get saved by someone. And then everything is all happy and perfect again. Because I am a damsel in distress.

I snorted at the thought. I became more and more angry as I thought of my circumstances. Why the hell did this always happen?! Did I look like an easy target or something?! I glared at the heavy door and my body shook as the anger and pain spread throughout my body.

I let out a frustrated growl. It was unlike anything I had ever done in my life. Never in all my years of living had I ever made that fierce of a sound. Even to me it sounded angry, and guttural. I began to thrash back and forth again. I willed my tears to go away and began to scream at myself.

" God dammit Bella! What the fuck is your problem?! Stop being so helpless! If you are so tired of being the damsel that always needs to be rescued, stop acting like it! Toughen up! And for the love of god STOP SOBBING! What you need to do is show everyone how strong and independent you are."

My head shot up in vain determination. Without a second thought, I yelled. " Victoria! Riley!" I used my best desperate voice. Maybe they would think that someone was killing me or something, and they would fight for their prey.

The bolted door swung open, and the two stressed vampires rushed in. Their eyes made a quick scan of the surroundings for danger. They relaxed slightly when they found none. Victoria glared at me and narrowed her eyes.

" What?" She snarled. I was suddenly feeling like a chicken. I couldn't do this could I? I just wanted to get out of here. But was my anger that strong? I decided that the answer was yes to all of the questions. I took a deep breath and squared my shoulders. I carefully constructed a hard determined mask, and forced myself to be confident.

" I know that you are going to kill me. But I would like to offer you another alternative." I said. Victoria and Riley both stared at me incredulously for a few seconds. And then they burst out laughing. I scowled at them. They thought I was joking.

" Bella, darling. We aren't interested in your petty little pleas. Now if that is all you called us down for, then we must be leaving-" I interrupted Victoria.

" What if I told you that there was something that Edward was more afraid of than me dying?" I asked. I couldn't believe I was actually doing this. Victoria cocked an eyebrow and studied me carefully.

" And what might that be?" She asked me. She was taking this news in a nonchalant manner, but I knew she was burning with curiosity secretly.

" Edward has always expressed a strong dislike to the idea of me becoming a vampire. He has stated many reasons. Some of which are that he strongly believes that vampires are eternally damned creatures, and that they have no soul."

He claims that I my soul is too beautiful to throw away. And as you previously stated, you had nothing really against me, just the fact that Edward used to love me, and that he killed your mate. This is the perfect way to get revenge." I proposed. I waited anxiously as she contemplated my idea. Riley had left the room, obviously bored with my negotiating. Victoria kept her face carefully blank and thought.

" So what do you get out of this?" She finally said. I let out a sigh of relief. She was willing to negotiate.

" I've always wanted to be immortal. Why not now?" I shrugged. I made sure that my voice had just the right touch of nonchalance. Victoria eyed me carefully and narrowed her eyes.

" Hmm. Interesting theory. So what exactly are you proposing we do?" She asked me. I felt the thrill of victory ring through my body. She was thinking about it.

" You contact Edward somehow and tell him that you are planning to change me. Then he will most likely come over with his family and try to save me. But it will be too late. Have me unconscious or something, then fight them. Thats what you wanted right? Then you can do what ever you want from there." I said eagerly. Victoria nodded.

" Yes, but then what happens to you?" She asked. I took a deep breath and looked her straight in the eye.

" You turn me into a vampire." I answered firmly. And as I uttered those words, I knew, that I was never going to see Edward or the Cullens again.

Dun Dun Dun! The story has taken an unexpected turn. For better or for worse? You tell me! I want some feedback my lovelies! I'm so very sorry that I haven't had a chance to update in such a long time. You see, I just started a new story, and I'm not that good at dividing my updates equally. Whatever mind set I am in at the time, I write for that story. Its just been a lot of stress. I kept mentally beating myself up for not updating this story!
