Author's Note: Hey-lo!

Previously:

"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?"

Now:

"Bella! What the hell is going on? Who is she? WHAT is she?" He paused after firing his questions at me in anger, frustration, and confusion. "What are you?" My mind raced with almost a million thoughts going through it at the same time, as he whispered this more to himself than me. What was I going to tell him? The truth? He deserves the truth, but how will he react?

"She is the same thing as I. And you are the same as her. We are all the same." When Victoria spoke, my confusion was increased even more. What was she talking about?

"Bella, what does that mean? Answer me!" Dylan yelled at me and I felt tears spring to my eyes. Not because of him yelling, but because I can't believe how stupid I am! I let my idiot half try to bond with a human when I knew the outcome. Even if we had bonded, how would I be able to keep him from finding out about the vampire race when I converse with hundreds of them every single day? I quickly got my emotions in check. This is not the time for self-pity and regret. I am supposed to be killing someone and instead I'm crying over something that I can't change anyway.

"Dylan, I'm so sorry." I said softly, but apparently he had heard me.

"Sorry?! I don't think that would help me in this situation, now would it?" He screamed at me in frustration. "How about you explain to me why I'm here?!"

"Dylan, I'm not who you think I am. I'm…different." I forced out. I just couldn't bring myself to say that I was a vampire. It was hard enough to accept it myself.

"You're a monster." His heartlessness towards me struck my heart with such distress that I could feel myself detaching from my humanity. I usually only do this when my emotions become too much to bare. I slowly felt my empathy and caring self being replaced with an angry, broken vampire. My eyes blackened even darker than before and my body blazed with power. Who does she think she is to come and destroy my peace, yet again? And who does he think he is to try to make it my fault that he fell for the same old trick that all humans fall for? It isn't my fault that he's a self-centered idiot who can't turn down a pretty face to save his life. And he blames me? I internally scoffed at the mere thought of letting this human distress me.

"Victoria, I think you've overstayed you're welcome. Leave. Now." I said calmly even though my eyes were as black as coal by now and I could feel my internal fire flowing warmly throughout my body. She laughed.

"I'm sorry, dear, but I'm not finish with my well prepared speech. You see, I know of your little pixie friend's gift. So, I'm sure you've heard of my army." While she was speaking, newborns began piling through the doors in pairs and by the time she was done there were at least thirty of them. "And I would love to see you try to make me leave." Her arrogant smirk was replaced with a look of determination and a hint of joy at finally succeeding at something. Why must all redheads be so stupid? And where the hell are the guards that were supposedly guarding the entrance? I sighed. I guess I have to take care of this myself then.

"Victoria… As much as I would love to listen to you ramble on and on about how you'll destroy me and take over the vampire world, I don't have time for your hopeless dreams, okay? So, can we get to the part where I set you on fire and dance on the ashes now? Or do you have any finals words or something?"

My head was beginning to throb painfully and I cursed the fact that I was so…human, even as a vampire. My patience is basically gone and I need sleep. Her smile faded into a fierce growl as she began to walk towards me. As I mentally prepared myself for her attack, she stopped. Slowly raising her hand, she pointed her first three fingers at me. Her entire army crouched and ran towards me with impossible speed. I just stood there, too irritated to involve myself in her dramatics and too bored to approach the army myself. So I remained where I was. I faintly noticed that Felix and Demetri began to walk in my direction. The two vampires that held a panicking Melissa and a distressed Dylan stepped to the side so it was safe to assume that they weren't going to fight.

I slowly raised both of my hands until they were parallel to my face with my palms facing my family and the Cullens. Then, I pushed with all my might forcing the invisible wall that I had constructed to box them all into a corner.

"Princess, have you gone completely insane?" Jane screeched through the wall.

"Isabella, what are you doing?" Aro still hasn't caught up with what's going on. I'll just give him a minute.

"Bella, please…" Edward began.

After hearing Edward's pleading voice, I reinforced the shield to block sound as well. My attention focused back on the army to realize that they stopped charging towards me. Oh, what now? I complained to myself. Then, the first row, which consisted of about ten vampires, began charging again. Well, I thought. Here we go.

I raised my hands again but facing the army this time. Suddenly, the first ten vampires charged right through a wall of fire. They all came out of the other side screaming and trying to extinguish the flames that were slowly stealing the very life from them.

"Next." I said, as the cries died out. Victoria sent ten more vampires my way and this time I chose to fight. We charged at each other and as soon as I was at arm's-length with the first vampire, I aimed for her nose as I struck it with my fist. Her head flew at the vampire that was behind her and cracked his forehead but didn't do any real damage. He quickly recovered and continued to attack me. I used my powers to light the dead girl on fire before she reassembled. Before I could anticipate it, the male vampire was reaching for my neck. I quickly dodged, grabbed his arm and threw him in the fire that burned his partner. I soon realized that his arm was still in my hand. Oops. I threw that in the fire as well. The next three came at me at the same time and I just stole their energy. They fell flat on the floor at my feet and had to witness as I tore them apart piece by piece. Setting the pile on fire, I turned to see the other five staring at me in fear. Seriously? I smiled and lifted them in the air with my mind. I felt their panic increase as they began to hover over the blazing flames that killed their friends. I decided to go easy on them since they had sense enough to be afraid. Taking away their senses using Alec's gift, I disassembled them while they were in the air and dropped them into the fire.

"I'm really disappointed in you, Victoria." I sighed. "I expected more from you."

She growled again and sent five more senseless newborns. I teleported to the first two and grabbed them by the neck. Their expressions would've been hilarious had I not been in battle mode. I crushed their windpipes easily and their eyes closed as their heads rolled to the floor. The next two were mated. I could tell based on how they held hands as they were charging towards me. I jumped over them and landed right behind them. As they turned, I wrapped my arms around their necks and crushed them easily, making sure that they died at the same time. Losing a mate is possibly the painful-est way to live, or die. Trust me, I know. I set them on fire in my hands and felt a slight sense of remorse creep into my soul. Then, I looked at Dylan and all remorse was replaced with rage. Why am I always the one to save people? Why can't anyone save me? The last vampire was the only one to actually touch me. His fist connected with my face and I flew into the throne, feeling the stones crumble under my weight. I looked up to see a cocky smirk on his face. We can't have that, now can we?

I appeared in front of him so quickly that he didn't even have time to take a step back. I put my hand on his shoulder and saw his eyes glaze over as I stole his power. It took awhile for me to determine exactly what his power was but when I did, my face lit up with a bright smile. His power was death. It was that simple. I saw his eyes turn to coal as I used his power against him. He crumbled under my touch and was suddenly engulfed in fire. I looked at my hands in amazement. I wondered what type of person he was as a human to have acquired such an extreme power… I didn't even want to know.

I didn't waste any time on the last five vampires. I just used my newly obtained power to kill them instantly. Now, I was about ten feet in front of Victoria's shock-ridden face.

"Goodbye, Victoria." I said as I took a step towards her. But, with every step that I took towards her, the vampires that restrained Dylan and Melissa tightened their grips on them until they were scraping at their arms, trying to breathe. Well, this could create quite an issue.

Author's Note: Hi. Please. Review. :) And I apologize for Bella's attitude in this chapter. She's just afraid to let herself feel again.
