Author's Note: I AM SO SORRY THAT IT'S BEEN SO LONG! MY INSPIRATION HAS COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED BUT I'M SOMEWHAT BACK NOW! Hold the applause... OKAY GO AHEAD! *crowd goes wild in the background* THANK YOU! ANYWAYS, ENOUGH WITH THE DRAMATICS. I REVEALED TO YOU ... CHAPTER FOURTEEN.

Previously:

"Let's do this." I closed my eyes and sighed, opening them with a new mission. No more Cullens or Victoria or anything else to occupy my mind. Tonight, no worries, just smiles. I smiled brightly and walked through the doors just as the guards opened them for me.

Now:

We danced and partied for hours on end until people gradually began to disappear after saying their goodbyes. There were a good two hundred vampires left in the ballroom and the music had stopped playing altogether to allow for conversation. I was talking to Eleazar from the Denali Coven when Jane began walking over to me with another mischievous smile.

"So, how have you been, Princess?" Eleazar formally addressed me.

"I've been well actually. And you?" I said, turning back to face him as I watch Jane from my peripheral view.

"Well, I've been quite busy for the last few months with trying to find a new place for my family to relocate." This caught my attention. I felt my eyebrows arch in confusion.

"Didn't you guys just move to Europe about a year ago?"

"Yes, but there's been many unexplainable…mishaps throughout our section of Europe. We traveled around the country to claim the area as ours, but they just couldn't seem to get the message." He explained.

"The entire country? And what do you mean by mishaps?" My inquisitions tumbled out of my mouth before I had the chance to recognize them. Who'd continuously disturb the peace of a seemingly harmless coven? Outside of Medusa and her succubae sisters they're a good group, I mean family, of vampires. Something just doesn't feel right.

"The Department of Police reported many findings of 'animal attacks' and the population of a city just outside of the one that we live in has drastically decreased over the last few months. I don't mean to worry you further, but something is definitely suspicious concerning their behavior." I nodded in agreement at his genuine concern.

"Can you please excuse me while I go and discuss this with my family?" I asked politely.

"Of course, please do."

"Thank you." I walked towards the throne where my father and uncles were sitting when Alice basically tackled me from the left side. I leaned on my right side to keep from falling over. My guards immediately ran over and ripped Alice away from me. My slight anger was immediately replaced with unease when I saw her panicked expression.

"Alice…what's wrong?" I slowly approached her as the two random guards tightened their grips on her. I didn't stop them.

"I saw it! Bella, I-I don't know what happened. It just came out of nowhere a-and I d-didn't know how to react! And Dylan DYLAN! H-he's…" Alice words suddenly faded as I felt myself slip into an unexpected premonition.

"Just pathetic." Victoria said with obvious disgust, as she hoisted Dylan higher into the air by his neck. His arms were flailing around before scratching at her diamond-like arms in a futile attempt to inflict pain. She laughed.

"Bel-Bella. Bella!" He screamed at me as his kicking began to slow, symbolizing his life slowly dwindling away. I charged at Victoria at top speed, but just before I'd reached her, an unknown force knocked the wind out of my breathless chest. They held me tightly on the ground, both of our bodies digging into the earth. I turned just in time to see Victoria reach into Dylan's chest and tear his heart out. Literally. Blood spurted out of his mouth and his body immediately went limp. I gasped and fought the tears that threatened to tear me apart. My struggling stopped as I saw Victoria drinking from his lifeless body. She tore a huge piece of meat and skin away from his neck when she was finished. I closed my eyes in defeat and opened them, feeling the pit black darkness of destruction that they have taken.

"Princess, are you alright?" Demetri asked as he held my shoulder while I coughed and gasped for air. I felt like my chest was on fire and I just couldn't put it out. My hacking slowly ceased and I was able to look up at the ballroom to see only my family and the Cullens still present. Everyone had gathered around me. Once again.

"Where's Alice?" I panicked and looked around the room.

"Jasper!" I heard her scream and we all turned to face the entrance to see Alice flying through the opening doors. She created a crater in the middle of the floor upon her landing and her family immediately rushed to her side. I, however, stared at the door awaiting the bandit's brilliant entrance.

"It's been a while, hasn't it, my dear precious princess?" I recognized the voice almost immediately. She stepped out of the shadows in her ripped blue jeans and black leather jacket, heels clicking against the marble. "I never intended for you to turn out like this. Had I known, then I surely would've killed you instead of giving you strength…and beauty…and power. But I'm sure all of that means nothing, doesn't it? Especially, when you have everything that you've wanted since you first stepped foot into Forks High." She turned her smirk towards Edward, inferring that we were back together.

"And yet some things are still missing. Like…you, my loving mother. You did create me, didn't you?" I calmly walked towards her, savoring the moment that I have been waiting much too long for.

"From my own venom and stone." She smiled and stopped walking. I kept going.

"So, why are you here, Victoria?" I asked, trying my best not to just reach into her head and take it. I've seen some pretty disturbing things in people's mind so usually that is my very last resort.

"To see my gorgeous daughter, of course. Nice dress by the way." She added onto her lie.

"Thanks. It was almost impossible to find." I played along with her stalling.

"The shoes were a huge risk, but you pulled it off perfectly. You look like an angel." She began walking towards me again.

"Enough with the stalling, Vicky. Why don't you just reveal your destined-to-fail plan so that I can kill you and get a good night's rest already?" I sneered at her and noticed an immediate reaction.

"As you wish your highness." A thick layer of sarcasm coated her voice. "Bring them in." As soon as she said this, two male vampires came from the throne doors holding two people. Humans by the looks of it.

"So this is your grand plan. To threaten me with two random humans?" I tossed my humanity aside for a second. Sympathy won't keep me alive when facing Victoria.

"Oh, I'm sure they can't be that random." She turned the first human around to face me and I panicked as I recognized Melissa's tear-streaked face. How did she get her out of the castle?

"Melissa, wh- "

"After all, you did promise this one your number, didn't you?" My dead heart froze in place as he turned the second hostage around and my calm façade was replaced with agonizing anger.

"Bella, what's going on? Where am I?" He panicked.

"…Dylan?"
