A/N: Hey guys sorry for the long update, but I've finally drew up an outline for this story. It's not a very good one but it's something. I'm planning on this being a Bella/Victoria femslash pairing so if that creeps you out than by all means stop reading. I'm also planning on Victoria becoming a more mentor character for Bella later on in the story instead of an antagonist but I'm not sure yet. Oh and if I have any grammatical errors than I'm sorry, it's one A.M in the morning and I'm tired, so this chapter may be a bit sloppy. Anyways read and review.

Healing was painful for Bella. The animal blood caused the skin on her wrists to grow back slower. This would take hours, sometimes days depending on how bad the burns were, with human blood the skin would grow back almost instantly. Carlisle had wrapped her wrists in gauze to prevent infection.

The Cullen family went on with their daily rituals as if nothing happened and the chains were put back into the safe. Rosalie was up in her room reading and Bella took her place alongside Esme and Alice in doing the household chores while Carlisle was at work and the boys were off hunting for food.

"He's just doing what's best for you" Alice murmured while they were doing the dishes "trust me drinking human blood is dangerous" Bella only nodded she was very keen on keeping her thoughts to herself, she learned very early on that she always had to watch what she said around the Cullen's, the wrong thing could mean a night in those chains again.

"Well now that the chores are finished what do you girls want to do now"? Esme said as she dried her hands, Bella already knew the answered to this question. "Let's go shopping I saw this cute little black dress that would be perfect for you, Bella" before she could answer Alice was already dragging her out the door into the night.

It had been a while since Bella went out. The cool air wrapped around her and she felt refreshed and strangely energized. Her vision and hearing was much stronger and she was more alert. "Let's go Bella before the stores close" Alice motioned for her to enter the car. She didn't want to get in though; she wanted to enjoy these sensations a bit more.

The streets were littered with people when they arrived at Port Angeles. Teenagers prowled the streets looking for danger and fun; tourists were taking pictures of the shops and middle age couples were trying to find their old make out spots in hopes of recapturing their youth. Bella could smell their blood as they brushed passed her, she could hear their carefree conversations about the meaningless lives that they led.

She couldn't linger on her thoughts too long however or Alice would catch on that she wasn't paying attention to her. A few hours later Bella's feet were killing her and in both of her hands were several bags of clothes and jewelry. "Alice I thought you only wanted to buy a dress"? She ignored her and instead focused on a mannequin in a black and white female suit.

Bella didn't mind not getting one, dresses weren't really her thing and if it were up to her she wouldn't have even worn a wedding dress but Edward insisted on it and she couldn't say no to him. It was getting cold and she was tired but Alice was too preoccupied to notice.

While window shopping Bella had noticed a group of students in a small coffee shop, she recognized this coffee shop. It was one that she visited quite often during her summers here when she was a human. She smiled to herself as a memory popped up in her head. During a summer when she was around fifteen or so, she met up with a few friends for coffee.

They would stay in that shop for hours, either studying for a big test or gossiping about who did what at school. It was such a simple life she had and looking back Bella didn't know why she complained so much about it. True her and her mother did not always see eye to eye on certain matters and her father was a bit overprotective at times but she had normal teenage problems. She had two parents who loved her and friends that cared about her. Bella gave up that life for a boy she hardly knew and a chance at immortality.

"Alice, please I'm very tired I'm going to go to the coffee shop for a little while and rest a bit". Her companion signed and put her bags down, "are you sure, Bella because I am dying to get my hands on this cute little blouse and I really—"She forced herself to smile at the short haired girl clutching several bags. "Alice Iinsist, you can go on without me if you need me I'll be here at the coffee shop".

Alice bit her lip unsure of what to do. On the one hand Edward would throw a fit if she left Bella out of her sight but that blouse was calling her name. "Okay I won't be long and please don't tell Edward, he'll kill me" Bella smiled gently at her, "your secret is safe with me". She waited until Alice was out of her sight before she entered the coffee shop.

The room smelt of freshly grounded coffee and the walls were dark red and covered with various pictures of jazz artists and paintings. There were people clicking away on their laptops and mumbling about their screenplays and novels. Bella smiled at the boy behind the counter and ordered a glass of ice water.

There was a small stage in the center of the room with one microphone and a stool. Bella sat down a few chairs away from the stage, concentrating on her water. She heard one of the workers announce a performer but paid no attention, figuring it was probably another unknown band made up of college kids who thought what they wrote was "deep" and meaningful.

It was a single performer, a young woman with curly orange hair dressed in a brown frilly jacket and a green scarf with black pants and boots, her face was pale and she had red lips.

"Hello my name is Victoria and I will be performing a few songs that I wrote, I hope you enjoy them" she strummed a few chords on her guitar and began to sing. Her voice was beautiful and although Bella didn't fully understand what the song was about she didn't care.

There were a few claps here and there and she was ushered off the stage by an employee. Bella noticed a familiar smell coming from her; it smelled of human blood. As she met her eyes she saw that they were red. "There you are Bella, I've been looking all over for you" Alice said tapping her on the shoulder.

"Huh, oh Alice you scared me I'm sorry I just lost track of the time, next time we'll shop longer" Bella half hoped that her sister-in-law wouldn't hold her to that. "It's fine, I just wished you would've found a better place to rest I mean this place looks so dingy" Bella cleared her throat and rubbed her neck trying to avoid the dirty looks some of the staff were giving them. She heard Victoria giggle somewhere in the distance as she was putting her things away.

The shop was closing down and everyone was leaving, Bella wanted to stay out a little longer but knew that Edward would be home soon and sighed. As she was leaving she felt a hand on her shoulder and spun around. "Thank you for coming by the way" Victoria said, smiling "I'll be performing here every Friday, in case you're interested" Alice put a protective arm around Bella and smiled menacingly at her, "trust me we're not, let's go".

The sea side shops and tourists were far behind them as they drove towards the house. Bella was exhausted and her feet throbbed endlessly. It was bizarre knowing that there was another vampire in Forks, Washington, a vampire who drinks human blood and sings at coffee shops, bizarre and interesting. As the cars and buildings whirled past them, Bella made a mental note to ask Alice to go shopping with her on Friday.

A/N: Okay so that's Chapter 5 of Temptation. I hope you all enjoyed it. I'm planning on Victoria to be more of a mentor/lover for Bella, she'll mainly be the one that will expose her to the perks of being a vampire. This isn't going to be one of those "I love you forever" stories either so if that's what you're expecting than I'm sorry. Anyways please read and review.
