Chapter 3 - Newborn Killing
1674
Bella's POV
Within my first year, I had quickly risen up through the ranks of the Volturi. My cloak was only one shade lighter than the witch twins but I was sure that if I could master my shield I would rise even higher. Aro was very impressed with me. I was happy, but there was something more important than than my star ascending. I had been waiting all of my "newborn year" for this moment and my newborn year was over. I was confident that I wouldn't lose control. It was time for me to get my revenge.
I rose from my hiding place and walked to the door of my former home. I snapped the lock easily and walked inside. I had picked the perfect dress for the occasion, the white morning gown Aro had found me in. It was still in tatters. I looked like a ghost. I heard James in the study; he shifted his weight from his left foot to his right, so I crept in the direction. I paused outside the study wondering if I should still do this-though I was confused about why I was even having doubts. After all he's done to me he doesn't even deserve to breathe. I knocked twice softly like Ms. Victoria Speers, imitating the housekeeper whom he is currently having an affair with.
"Ms. Speers, I didn't realize you were still here." in a tone that clearly said, 'You gave me what I want now leave.'
"She isn't." I said, my voice sounding as clearly as the church bells during a death toll.
"She left five minutes ago." James's reaction was hilarious for I used his incredible fear of ghosts to my deadly advantage. He gasped and skittered back toward the wall, his lips forming a perfect O and his eyes as large as the halfpennies used to cover the deads' eyes.
"I-I-I thought you were dead!" He sputtered, like a child.
"I am" I answered simply, "or dead enough."
"Are you a ghost...?" he asked and I laughed.
"What do you think I am?" No answer.
"Well, why do you think I'm here?"
"Revenge..."
"Right." James's face blanched.
"Scared now, aren't you? Almost like a…woman."
Later that night...
I glided out of the house, light with relief and joy. James had gotten what he deserved. God could only help him now. I sunk into a crouch at a scream that came from my father's house.
"Be quiet girl!" I heard my father yell. It wouldn't have even been inaudible to measly human ears, but to mine it was loud and clear. I automatically started running, at a vampire's pace, towards my childhood home. The scents of my mother, orchids and tulips and my father, peppermint and tobacco, bombarded me but I ignored, them allowing my rage, which had sparked up yet again, to be at the forefront of my mind. I crashed through the door with tremendous ease while my father was in the midst of slapping my mother, who was a crumpled crying mess. I could see her strain to hold back her tears. I rushed towards my father and grabbed him. I tossed him against the wall, his neck breaking. He died immediately.
I bent down to talk to my mother. She looked up at me with scared, wide eyes and tried to push herself away. Then I realized it. She thought I was dead.
"Shh. Mother it's me, Bella I"m here. I'm...alive. But I can't stay. You must promise me not to tell anyone that I came back. Do you understand?"
"Yes..." she said in a barely audible whisper.
"Now let's get you cleaned up." I said as I took her arm and proceeded to help her up the stairs.
The next day...
"Bella." Caius said frostily. "What were you thinking?"
"I'm sorry Master."
"Bella you've endangered the secret!" He thundered.
"Yes Master, I am sorry." I said, looking up at his beautiful face from beneath my eyelashes.
"Do you have a reason for doing this? Endangering us all?"
"Yes, Master. He was beating my mother...I had to stop him. No matter what the cost."
"So are you just going to stop any human from hurting another?" he said mockingly.
"No master, but this was family." Caius didn't seem to understand, for he hadn't had his true family for more than a millennium. Then we both looked up startled by a knock on the door.
"Master, the humans are here." said Felix then he left hurriedly, eager to get his...dinner.
"We shall continue this discussion later."
We made our way to the feeding chamber. It was in its usual turmoil when a familiar scent
wafted toward me. It smelled of Orchids...tulips...my mother! What was my mother doing
there? Then I saw her across the room with Heidi's lips at her jugular, sucking out any chance at life. I screamed bloody murder and started running across the room when I was stopped. I couldn't move a muscle to defend my mother and I was forced to watch. I heard Heidi slowly
drinking and she was in bliss, drunk off of my mother's sweet blood. My mother had long been unconscious but I heard her take her last breath, her heart stopped and she lived no more. Heidi walked towards me slowly, looked me in the eye and said,
"Don't get too affectionate towards humans. They're breakable."
