Chapter 17- Story of my past
Ahh, the sweet pulse of blood rushing through someone's neck. It was so. . . Yum. I closed my eyes and breathed deeply, this one was truly evil, he'd molested his children. " You've been a bad, bad boy." I whispered in his neck. I knew my eyes were most likely onyx, he smelled good. Like chamomile, which was odd for a man. Hmm. I grazed my teeth along his neck, getting ready for the kill. Lanina had already fed and was waiting for me to finish, but I like taking my time. He whimpered beneath me, but didn't say a word. I kind of missed the struggling, ah well. I bit down and the sweet blood rushed into my mouth; filling me up. After sucking him dry, I wiped my mouth and set him aflame. He'd actually been quite filling.
" Done?" Lanina asked. I turned around and smirked, her eyes were a bright crimson. She'd fed good. I nodded my head and licked my lips, still tasting some blood on them.
" Yah, I'm done." We started walking back to my car when I heard a sudden noise from behind me. I turned around quickly, my knives already out. I couldn't see anyone, but I could sense them. They were hiding in the shadows. I walked along the alley, my steps slow and deliberate. " Here kitty kitty." I mocked, twirling my knives around. Lanina smiled and followed me. She liked a good fight more than me almost.
" Come out, come out wherever you are." She finished for me. A man laughed and stepped out from the darkness, his eyes amused. I frowned and put my knives away, it was only Aro.
" Hiding Aro? How childish of you." I said, there was no point in trying to fight him. The truth of the matter was, he was a master vampire and I really just wanted to cooperate, for once.
" Oh Noleen, you wound me with your cruel words." He replied, his Italian accent flowing from his mouth freely. I smiled and walked over to him.
" I heard Nicholas is after you, what have you done now?"
" Why do you care is a better question." He raised an eyebrow, a grin playing on his lips.
" Want the truth?"
" Nothing but." Lanina spoke up.
" Because, you're an asset to us Noleen. You're strong and would do a run well if we were to hire you. Let's just say. . . I'm checking up on a worker of mine. In other words, I don't want you to, bite the big one as you would say."
" I'm not your worker Aro. I've never even done a run for you-"
" Ah my sweet, that's in the future and this is now. Now, tell me what you've done to make him mad." He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me to him. I sighed and pushed him away.
" I killed Annebelle." I whispered. His eyes opened wide and he giggled like a school boy about to get laid.
" That was you! And we thought it was some. . . Dangerous rogue vampire, it was only you?"
" What, don't think I'm dangerous Aro?"
" Oh no, I think you're plenty dangerous. But not to us, you're not that stupid. Tell me, why did you do it?"
" Because she was evil and-"
" Of course she was evil! But what could possibly possess you to kill someone Nicholas sired? You know how much he loves all his children."
" A little too much if you ask me." Lanina grumbled.
" I don't need you to protect me Aro. Just go back home to your little villa and leave me be." He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. I could tell he wanted to know more about what happened.
" Just tell me, did she scream?" He asked, a huge smile on his face and his eyes glowing with amusement. I scoffed and shook my head.
" You're truly a sick fucker Aro. Go home."
" Fine, if that's how you want it. But, you'll be hearing from us soon. Ta ta for now!" And then he was gone, just like that. I looked around, my eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
" How the hell did he-" I started but held up my hand. " You know what, I don't even want to know." Lanina laughed and we started back towards my car. This was too much.
We walked inside and were immediately greeted by Lin. She had a grimace on her face, and smacked me right across the face. " It's your fault!" She screamed. " Because of your actions Tai is dead!" I kicked the door shut and smacked her right back across the face.
" Number one, never hit me. Number two, what the hell are you talking you crazy bitch?" I cried. She screamed and came after me but I raised my leg and kicked her right across the face; she flew into the kitchen and fell onto the kitchen table. It broke beneath her weight. " Contain her please!" I asked Travis and turned to the Cullen's. " I'll ask again, what the hell is going on?"
" We just got this. It was dropped off on the door." Carlisle replied, handing me a letter. I took it and unfolded it. A gold ring slipped onto my palm, it was Tai's wedding ring. Or at least it looked like Tai's wedding ring.
" Was Tai's wedding band real gold?" I asked Lin. She growled a low yes as she struggled to get out of Travis's grasp. I smirked and lit my lighter, holding the ring over it. Her eyes opened wide in surprise and she yelled. " Oh chill." I watched as the band started to slowly melt, it wasn't real gold. I turned the lighter off and tossed it on the floor. " It's not real." I said simply and nodded to Travis to let her go. She just stood there, trying to contain all the information going through her head.
" What do you mean it's not real?" Jasper asked. I turned to him and smiled.
" I mean it's fake, not real gold."
" Well, why would Nicholas send us a fake ring and tell us Tai's dead?" Esme questioned me. I looked at Lanina who nodded, she'd take this one. I fell to the floor and closed my eyes; I really missed sleeping.
" Nicholas likes to make people go against each other, that way they kill themselves so he doesn't have to." She answered for me.
" It's a small part of why he's so dangerous. He's got brains and uses them." I added.
" Noleen, can you tell us exactly what happened, and why he's after you?" Carlisle spoke up. I leaned on my elbows, looking up at them. Did I really want to go back to that point in my life? Eh, why not. It's not like I cared what they thought. . .
I stood on my tiptoes, looking through the bars. " Annebelle, when are you going to let me out?" I complained. She laughed and looked at me, her dark red eyes inspecting me.
" When you tell me you've learned your lesson and will never disobey me again."
" Fine, I've learned my lesson and I'll never disobey you again." She got up and walked over to me, unlocked the cell and slid the door open. She liked locking us up like caged animals when we disobeyed. Lanina and I were in that cage the most.
" You say that every time."
" And you always let me out." I told her, defying her already. She hated when we talked back. But she simply laughed and nodded her head.
" That I do." Something was up, I could see it in her eyes.
" What did you do?"
" Why do you ask?"
" Answer the question." She put her hand on my cheek and kissed my forehead; I had to bite back my snarl. She looked back at me, a sad smile on her face.
" I'll hate to lose you Noleen, you're a great fighter. You've truly mastered everything I've taught you so well." I swallowed and felt my heart drop, well figuratively of course. " You know I'll do anything for Nicholas, and he asked for you. So. . . You're going to live with him now."
" Like hell I am!" She giggled and started to walk away.
" You'll learn to love him Noleen, like I do." I looked around, no one else was here. Just me and her, and I knew I could take her. After all, she had taught me everything she knew. And I was better than her in many things. I wasn't going to be anyone's slave anymore and I knew Nicholas would be light-years worse than Annebelle. So I rushed towards her and knocked her to the ground.
" I'll be damned if I let anyone own me." I growled. She pushed me off and snarled.
" And what are you going to do about it? Little one?" I jumped towards the front of the room and grabbed the sword off the mantle; she liked having many weapons around. She turned around, her eyes shone with amusement. " You honestly think you'll be able to kill me?"
" I know it." I flipped towards her in the air and felt her kick me in the stomach. I fell to the ground and winced when she pulled me up by my hair. " Bad mistake." I whispered as I turned around, slicing her head right off. She fell to the ground in two pieces. I dropped the sword and ran out of there. I'd never heard of a vampire dying of beheading before, I hadn't known anyone was strong enough to slice the head off a master vampire. Guess I just proved myself wrong. I ran up to Lanina's room and pounded on the door. She opened it, her eyes scrunched in worry.
" What happened?"
" She's dead." Her eyes opened wide and she pulled me inside her room.
" How?" I quickly told her everything, that's when we decided we'd leave together.
" What happened then?" Alice questioned me, cutting me off. I frowned and shrugged my shoulders.
" We decided to open the business a few weeks later." Travis was sitting down, looking bored. He'd already heard this before.
" You actually managed to behead her with a sword?" Carlisle asked. I nodded my head and bit my lip.
" I'm a tad strong too." I looked at the floor and sighed. " So, that's why Nicholas is after me. Because I killed one of his children, and because he never got me like he wanted.
" She was prostituting you out?" Rosalie asked me.
" Yup, and I killed her for it. I'd been a slave for long enough, there was no way in hell I was going to be his."
" Don't blame you." I sat up and stretched. Suddenly the door was kicked in and someone walked inside. My jaw dropped, crap.
Thanks for reading and reviewing! Again, keep it up! Hope y'all liked this chapter!
animallover0109- yup, I came up with a name! haha. Why is she mean? Because she's bitter, it's as simple as that. She's one bitter bitch haha.
micah- Rambling and chocolate are two of my fav things :) Haha, thanks so much for reading! Love hearing from all my fans, and I have to say, you're one of my most entusiastic ones. (Btw, that's a good thing!)
kitti-of-death- Nope, vicky was never Nicky's lover. He just found out she knew of Bella and captured her to get info.
xxvampirexatxheartxx- The her was Annebelle, sorry I didn't realize I didn't have a name for her until last chapter haha. Hopefully that sorta clears it up. They're both Annebelle, Phillip's vamp sister and Noleen's Sire. And yes, belthazor is from charmed :)
seeking heaven- I put the pennames up to answer their questions when they ask them! So they know I'm talking to them!
LucidNightfall-Ah, I can't tell if they're getting back together, that would ruin the ending :) Yes, you won't know 'til the ending. Haha. I'm glad I inspired you! haha. And you were right about one thing on your review. Dear ol' Nicky does indeed know who Alice is and recognizes her. That'll happen either next chapter or the one after that.
AGAIN, thank you so-o-o-o much for reading. All you guys ROCK! Remember if you have any questions or anything, let me know and I'll let you know what's happening!
Until next time,
Faith
