Leader
Laurent and I ran trough the woods. I could see everything with perfect clarity, even things that should be microscopic. We ran for hours at vampire speed, which is a pretty far distance.
Finally we reached a river.
"We're going to have to swim across this to get to Alaska," Laurent said when he saw me looking at the water sceptically.
I felt a strange feeling growing inside me. I didn't even think about what I was doing, somehow I just did. I put my hands out in front of me and felt a strange tingling in them. I started to move my hands apart slowly. And to my amazement, the water moved as well.
I gradually moved my hands apart until there was a space that two people could comfortably walk through. Once the passage was wide enough I froze the water in place.
I looked over at Laurent who was sending large waves of shock my way, and was also stunned into mental silence.
"Lets go," I said, running onto the now dry sand of the bottom of the river. Once Laurent and I had crossed the river channel I turned around to look at the pass I had created.
I put my hands out again, this time I slowly lowered them. To my astonishment the water melted and went back down to normal sea level.
"I'm not even going to try and comprehend how you did that," Laurent said shaking his head.
"Good cause I don't have a clue how I did it either," I said dismissively and started running again.
About an hour later we reached a cottage in the middle of a disserted Alaskan forest. Laurent and I walked up the steps to the front door.
Laurent gave me an encouraging smile and opened the front.
We walked into a small yet nice lounge room with a fireplace, a reclining chair and a sofa. I looked around, taking I the sight and smell of the room.
I herd the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs to our right. Victoria appeared in a flash of white and flaming red.
"Laurent, you have returned," Victoria said, not noticing me in the living room, I guess I can understand her not wanting to come.
"Ah, but I did," I said. Victoria looked up at me sanding in front of the fireplace.
How did she know what I was thinking? – Victoria
I can read minds. And I can obviously answer in my head as well now – Bella
"Is that the only power you have?" she asked dum struck.
"No, I can feel emotions, I can see the future based on decisions, I can also manipulate water to my will. There the only ones I have worked out so far," I said walking over to them.
"My offer still stands. Would you like to become the leader of our coven?" she asked walking over to stand in front of me.
"I would like that very much," I said, as Victoria did something I thought she would never do. She hugged me. And I hugged her back.
"I want you to have something," she said stepping away from me.
"And what is that?" I asked.
She put her hand in the front pocket of her jeans and pulled out a silver locket.
"In my human life, I had a sister. When I was changed everyone thought I had run away. She was so angry with me that she went down to the river were we used to play. She through her locket of the matching set into the river and walked away. I saw her do it and went down to retrieve it, I kept her locket and mine, waiting for someone who could wear the locket." Victoria said holding the locket out at me. "You're strength reminds me of her, and how I used to be. When I was changed, it was like James took control of my life. I was making less and less discissions for myself, until he controlled who I was."
"Like Edward," I said.
I took the locket in my hand and looked at it. It was a silver oval with a sapphire in the shape of a heart on the front. I popped the catch and looked on the inside. Sisters forever, together and apart. On the other side there was room for a picture.
"Can you help me put it on?" I asked holding the locket out to her and turning around.
"What's your last name?" I asked Victoria.
"Hunter," she says with a devilish grin. I can't help but grin back.
She lifted the locket over my neck and clicked it together.
"Lets hunt, you must be starving," she said when I turned around.
"I have a dull ach in the back of my throat, but other than that I cant feel anything," I said as Victoria opened the door.
"You're going to be powerful Bella, I can tell," Victoria said as we took off running.
I caught the sent of a grizzly bear and let my instincts take over. I snapped the bear's neck and drained it of blood.
I looked up to see Victoria standing there watching me.
"Vampirism defiantly suites you," she said and with that we continued the hunt.
