We got out of the cab I left money with the guy and we headed inside, I look around the old place fond memories filling my head of our first performance.
"Bella? Arcadia? Bella? Where are you?" I look around hearing mums voice echo around the studio. I watched her run to the cupboard and open it to see a TV, "There you are. What are you doing here?"
"I'm trying to make her get up." my voice echos,
"Everyone makes fun of me."
"But you're a wonderful dancer."
"Mum, I suck." I heard James laugh as he appeared behind Bella and tense.
"That's my favorite part. Stubborn child, weren't you? And the encouraging big sister."
"She's not even here." Bells concludes, he pushed her to the side and against a wall.
"Sorry. But you really made it too easy." he whispered, smelling her neck, i edge closer muting my footsteps. "So to make things more entertaining, I'm going to make a little film of our time together. Borrowed this from your house. Hope you don't mind." He turned the cam corder on and spoke again. "And... action!" he hums, "It'll break Edwards little heart..."
"You've... Edward has nothing to do with this!" she shouted, he pinned her again, I jolt slightly,
"Oh his rage will make for more interesting sport than this... His feeble attempt to protect you." he moved back again, "And lets continue." I watched her grab the pepper spray and get a good grip on it spraying it in his eyes and making a run.
'We're stronger together.'
'One, Two...' Macey began to count,
'Three.' Just as he turned I flung my hand at him and sent him flying back, I quickly turned and ran.
"Big sister's got power." he grinned as he jumped in front of me, I stop and he grabs my neck, "You'll make for an interesting toy." he murmured throwing me back, I skidded across the floor and hit the pillar as Izzy was supposed to, I felt the pain but it didn't register enough, the warm trickle however did, pulling my hand from my head I saw the crimson red of blood... Mine. "Beautiful, very visually dynamic. I chose my stage well." I spat blood at his feet,
"You're disgusting." He grabbed my hand and looked at the blood, I clenched my fist,
"It's to bad, I thought at least he would have the strength to turn you." I glare at him hiding my fear, "He kept you a weak human. It's cruel really."
"I'm already promised to be turned." I snarl at him, he turned from me and went for my sister, I was to dazed by pain, it hurt. She had at some point fallen staring at me in shock, I couldn't understand why. He crouched down in front of her.
"I could say the same to you, you would be strong as a vampire, eternal." He muttered, he stood up and a second later I heard a crunch and Izzy screams in agony,
"Isabella!" I scream desperately forcing myself up a slow rage bubbling at me.
"Tell Edward how much it hurts." I could hear his sick smirk as she screamed, "Tell him to avenge you. Tell him!" he continues to snarl.
"No! Edward, don't..." she pleads,
"If he doesn't I sure as hell will." I snarled sending him flying away my rage bubbling over. Edward came in a second later but was pinned to a mirror. I rush to Bella's side trying to calm down, I feed her a numb feeling and her cries decrease. "You're alone... because you're faster than the others." James slammed his head against the mirror, I smoothed Bella's hair in comfort though I felt my rage building again and my hands shaking. "But not stronger."
"I'm strong enough to kill you." Edward threw him back across the room and headed to us,
"Take her." I order, he scoops her up with a pained look and leaps towards a window, but James is there grabbing his leg and pulling them down, Iz rolled through broken glass and my hands shook more. James proceeded to throw Edward at a window. James grabbed her wrist and I flung myself forward to knock him away, but he had already sunk his teeth in. Edward sent him flying again and everything became quiet to my ears. I couldn't stop shaking...

3rd P.O.V
Edward held James against a column in a fit of rage ready to kill but a hand appeared on his arm, he snapped around and saw Carlisle. Emmett and Jasper appeared on with side of him.
"Son, enough. Remember who you are." Carlisle paused and something felt wrong with the air, everyone looked around, hearing Bella's pained cries and smelling the scent of blood, two different scents, "Bella needs you." Jasper looked over at his mate and saw her shaking. Blood on her hands, he could feel incredible amounts of rage coming from her.
Arcadia finally looked up but her eyes weren't her own, they were Macey's again.
"You're dead." she whispered, her shaking still hadn't subsided it only got worse as did the amount of rage pouring off of her, but her voice had an Icy calm quality to it, not wavering as her body shook.
"Back away from her." Jasper ordered, Alice quickly pulled Bella away and snarl ripped through the air followed by a ripping sound. In the spot of Arcadia was a wolf, to big to be normal, it's fur black and white and it's eyes a crimson red as it bared its teeth.
"Oh, god... Carlisle! The blood!" Alice called in panic. Emmett and Jasper dragged James from Edward noticing the wolfs eyes following them its snarl sounding again as it got ready to pounce.
"Start a fire." Emmett told Jasper, "Get the floorboards." Jasper began ripping the floor boards up, Emmett made eye contact with the wolf, "You want him." it wasn't a question, the wolf snapped its jaws and James looked on in fear struggling to get away. Emmett let go of one of his arms and threw him towards the enraged wolf. The wolf jumped for him sinking it's teeth into James arm first.
James screamed in pain as his arm was ripped from his shoulder. He dropped to the floor and tried to run but the wolf pinned him with a paw on his chest a sinister gleam in its eyes as she began to disassemble the vampire piece by piece. As each limb was tossed aside Emmett tossed them into the fire Jasper had started.
Jasper looked on in slight horror. Arcadia wasn't supposed to be a wolf, she didn't have the genes. But somehow she'd turned into one and was merciless, and her eyes before the change, they weren't hers. The voice was to cold, a fury hiding just close enough to the surface. But it hadn't been his Arcadia.
Once the wolf has done her job she backs away snarl still on her face before the screams of Bella register again. It whimpers and moves to her body as it thrashes and lays down coving her ears.
"It's going to happen. I've seen it -" Alice says, looking over at the wolf in caution, not getting to close.
"It doesn't have to be that way."
"She's still hemeraging. Alice make a tourniquet of your belt." Carlisle orders,
"Carlisle." Edward starts. "Whats my other option."
"Tie it above my hands." he says to Alice.
"Carlisle!" Edward demands.
"Alice go." He looked back at Edward. "You need to try and suck the venom out."
"I won't be able to stop." Bella lets out another scream and the wolf whimpers again.
"Find the will to stop. But choose, she only has minutes left." His father figure spoke with conviction.
"I'll make it go away Bella." He told her softly, "I'll make it go away." he took her wrist and the wolfs head snaps up watching him closely. Taking the bite into his mouth he tastes her blood and the frenzy begins. After a few seconds Carlisle speaks,
"Edward. Stop. Her blood is clean. You're killing her." but he can't stop, he can't pull away. He knows he's killing her, but he cant stop. It tasted so good. A snarl ripped from the wolf again and she pounced on Edward pinning him to the ground and baring her teeth at him in warning, but she doesn't attack, just holds him down. When the frenzy fades from his eyes the wolf moves back to Bella and nudges it's nose against her shoulder before its eyes close and it's shape fades becoming human again.
Arcadia lay on the floor naked and unconscious. Sweat pouring off of her, her body unused to such a physical change. Jasper is at her side in an instant his coat over her body, her lingering blood not bothering him as he worried for her safety.
"You're a'right Darlin'. You're gonna be fine."

Okay I didn't plan the wolf thing. Originally I planned for her to stay in human form but take on the speed, strength of the vampires as she was surrounded by them. Instead after I put the shaking thing in this just sort of developed. Let me know what you think.
Shadow OUT!
