Chapter 4: Vision Quest
Previously
As she took a breather I decided to process things. Okay so this girl is a hunter, a witch and a Dhampir and oh yeah that's right she is my boyfriend's daughter! OH MY GOD! STEFAN HAS A DAUGHTER! I panicked as that thought sank in. I don't know if I can handle this! This is too much to process. I'm okay, everything is going to be okay. I tell myself everything is going to be just fine.
"So should I call you mom Ellie?" Bella said slyly. Me? Mom? The room started to do 180's and before everything went back the last thing I heard Bella say is "I think I killed her." Just before the darkness took over my last thought was...
I can't handle this shit!
Third Person POV
Elena found herself in a meadow, it was beautiful with tons of wildflowers and the sun shining bright. A giggle caught my attention and when she looked closer to the meadow she saw them there lying in the middle of the meadow were two people. One a boy of 17 with pale white skin weird red hair and golden eyes and next to him was Bella?
They just laid there together in peace embracing each other before the boy spoke. "Bella I have something to ask you, it's important." The boy's voice was smooth like velvet. Leaning up on her elbow Bella lightly ran her hand across his cheek smiling a soft loving smile with such love in her eyes she wanted to look away.
"Ask away," she murmured still caressing his face as he closed his eyes slowly and stilled her hand holding it to him. He asked slowly almost hesitantly, "Bella, what would you do if you had to choose between someone you love and someone you can't live without?"
The way he asked it's like the answer will help him decide something important later on. "Honestly Edward, I would make a third option. Or if that person is someone I love and need would hold onto them as long as I can until it is time to let go."
Suddenly the scene changed and Elena was in the forest where she heard Edward and Bella arguing. "We're leaving." Edward said but his voice it sounded different, cold, emotionless, and dead. Bella seemed to tell something was up as well but she was in denial.
"Alright let me just tell Charlie and we'll…"she trailed off seeing his face, so cold and blank it was frightening. "When you say we?" Bella choked out trying to keep strong.
"I mean my family and myself," he replied in the same cold tone. Elena looked at Bella's face and just about cried as she watched her face go from heartbroken to detach then suddenly she felt a pain in her chest that felt like a hole and she realized that she was somehow feeling what she feels.
"This changes things," she said surprisingly calm. Elena looked at Edward hoping to see his mask slip but nothing did, not even his eyes they were hard and unyielding.
"Of course I'll always love you in a way but perhaps that's my punishment for loving the enemy. You were just too easy to fool hunter." Elena gasped as she realized what he did he killed her in a way she can never come back from, a broken heart.
The moment those word left his lips Bella knew she had been betrayed. The only person besides Charlie and the pack who knew about her was, "Alice!" Bella hissed feeling pissed off and betrayed at once again being betrayed by a 'sister'.
"Oh! What's the matter hunter are you sad? Are you going to cry? Ha! You hunters are all the same kill a monster because it is just that a monster not because they are good monster's but you kill them anyway." Edward snarled at his 'beloved' thinking of a good monster in particular a hunter killed and instead of imagining the man killing his friend it was his Bella.
The whole time he had been talking Bella felt an intense rage, hate and sorrow but most of all she felt hollow. As quick as a flash Bella had Edward by his throat and lifted him off of the ground with one hand while the other had a Celtic Celestial Silver-Iron dagger.
"B-Bu-But you're just a human!" Edward choked out realizing just how much his acting got. As Elena observed him more she saw his mask slip and saw this for what it was an act! All of a sudden Edwards's intentions made themselves known to Elena. Edward was leaving Bella to protect her from himself thinking she was a human, after finding out she is a hunter from Alice's thoughts and playing on her insecurities he knew she would let him go. He was hurting her to protect her because he thought she was human now he realized his mistake too late.
Bella's eyes began glowing green with red veins under them and she bared her fangs at him, her vampire face. Shocked he gasped "Bella?"
"Hello Edward, sorry Isabella is not home. Belladonna has come to play." Belladonna replied with a wicked grin. Bella like most vampires has two persona's Isabella or Bella which is her human persona and Belladonna which is her vampire and hunter persona.
"You know Edward, I should tell you a little secret about us." Belladonna leaned forward close to his face her cold glowing green eyes staring into his frightened black orbs.
"We were born this way, half-human, half-vampire. Dhampir" she purred wickedly into his ear before she pulled back to see his face and with a wicked smirk continued. "Although unlike you Cold One's we are faster, smarter, stronger, and just plain better than you." With that she backhanded Edward so hard he flew ten yards where he hit his head on a boulder cracking his diamond hard face. As he slowly got up Bella began stalking him like the predator she is.
"You know Edward she loved you, my human counterpart did. I kept trying to warn her, a little doubt here a little logical whisper there. I knew this day would come. You dared to try to control me! Well no more! You are right I am a hunter! I hunt the evil monsters in the world there never was a monster that fell by my hand that was good and trying to be. I live for the hunt, the chase of the kill and the blood I shed. But I was caged because she just knew this would happen if she told you."
Belladonna started walking away when she suddenly made a decision she wanted Alice to see. "Oh and Alice? I just want to say that the next time we meet… won't be pleasant I don't forgive and I never forget especially betrayal. Watch your back and tell the rest of your coven the same. Oh and tell Carlisle to expect the hellhounds, the contract has been broken. Come near me again Cullen's and you will die by my hand. Goodbye Cold Ones." With a gust of wind she was gone. With the last scene of Bella walking away with silent tears was the last thing Elena saw before she woke up.
Author Note in my story the Petrova line has the power to see the past of someone important or going to be important to them in order to learn from the past. As evidence from Katherine those lesson's didn't take.
