Victoria's words echoed through my ear. "Game Over." No! It couldn't end like this! I had to catch that killer. The one who ruined it for me. Who made me lose this sick and twisted game that pleased Victoria.
I caught the scent of that woman's blood easily. Oranges. It smelled of oranges. How, Ironic? One of the rarest fruits and a symbol of a deadly sin. Something my kind always did.
I ran, leaving my siblings back at the fork in the road. My cell kept ringing, but I ignored it, desperate to reach the madman before he left.
The scent led me to a run down alleyway, similar to the one Carlisle had taken a human's life. I quickly looked over the wall to see the killer and his prize.
The vampire's eyes were a light crimson. A newborn. Probably created by Victoria herself. Disgusting. He wore a cloak, almost similar to the Volturi, with a red moon stitched in the breast. His black, curly hair contrasted with the night. Then there was the prize:
She was completely mauled, her body mangled and beaten. Her skin was pale, like mine. But what was the worst were her eyes. Lifeless, nothing reflected in them, a void of her former life. For a second, I almost saw Bella, lying there.
I grabbed the man, turned monster's cloak and slammed him against the opposite wall. "Where is Victoria?" I snarled.
"I don't know who you're talking about?" He smirked. He must be this Edward she was talking about…
"I know you know!" I snapped, slamming his head back into the brick wall, denting it, "Now where is Victoria!"
"Be quiet!" The man retorted, "People will come."
"Let them." I snarled, pounding my fist in his head. "Tell me!" I yelled.
He was right. There were voices coming from behind the building. Searching for the woman who screamed.
"Fine," He said, the voices coming closer, "The abandoned warehouse. It's about a ten minute east at our speed." His thoughts didn't betray him. I saw it.
I dropped the man
"You'd better stay out of my way…" I snarled, watching the man cower back into the wall. My eyes were surly black for all the pent up anger inside me. I immediately ran east, hoping to get to Bella in time…
My family caught up with me. Alice's thought's rang out in my mind. She's here. I see it! We have to hurry! She didn't have to think it twice. I ran faster then I ever had.
Finally, we made it. And, lo and behold, standing outside of the crude doors was the red haired female that had caused us so much pain and suffering. The one I was going to kill with my own bare hands. Victoria.
I heard her giggle. "Well, hello Edward! Long time, no see." She laughed, "All I've had for company was Bella, but she get boring after a while. With that tempting blood." She licked her lips. "Shame I didn't taste any…"
"Victoria…" I snarled, "Your gonna pay…"
She crouched down, "Give me your worse." And she attacked.
She was wild. She was almost as fast as I was, and almost as strong as Emmett, but we were determined to win. She kept scratching her way to me as Esme threw a punch at her. Emmett grabbed her hair but she knocked him down, how, I didn't care.
I couldn't contain myself. I just kept fighting. Esme was finally able to tear off her arm. But she didn't give up. She kept lunging at me until Carlisle got her other arm. Alice and Rosalie attacked her legs. Even then, she was fighting. Jasper and Emmett grabbed some small twigs and leaves. I lit a small match and held it over her when she spoke, "It's all over…"
"What?" I asked.
"Bella is caught in the storm…" She smirked.
"Where is Bella!?!" I yelled, unable to spare a moment more a patience.
"Out there…"She nodded her head forward. I looked to see a vast sea of white and falling snow. "Your too late, Edward. You've lost my game."
I threw the match on her hair and watched as the match lit up her hair. I would have kept watching, but Bella was out there. I looked over to Alice and Esme. Esme caught my eye. Hurry, Edward, before it's too late…
I ran off, into the coming blizzard, to rescue my Bella. I could not afford to lose again.
The snow blinded me as I ran, desperate to catch her scent. I didn't know if I should run faster, but if I did, I could miss Bella's scent, and her only chance at life again. But if I didn't run faster, I could miss her final breath. I finally resorted to screaming her name.
"Bella!" I yelled. The wind whipped against my body, trying to make me colder.
"Bella!!" The wind howled in my ear.
"BELLA!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed into the cold winter night.
I looked around again catching, anything out of the ordinary. Finally, I caught something. Something dark in the pure white of the snow. Without a second thought I raced toward it.
The wind kept trying to block me, but I would not. I finally reached the small black item and to my amazement, it was hair. I quickly pushed away the snow to reveal a small body, Bella's body.
