Hi, everyone. Sorry it has taken me so long to update. I had a paper due for my Humanities class and several tests to take that I had to study for. Thank you for all the reviews you all have given me, and please keep reviewing!
The Cullen's and I stood in the attic around the book of shadow. As I flipped through the pages of the book, they would confirm or refute the demon. We had just about gone through the whole book before we found the demon that was causing trouble for them. My insides froze solid when I realized who it was. I swallowed thickly.
"Are you sure this is him?" my voice shook. They looked at me in confusion, and nodded their heads.
"Chris! Wyatt!" I called looking towards the ceiling. They orbed in a moment later. "What was taking you so long?" I asked, trying to calm myself before I told them the news.
"Well, we ran into some of the guys and we couldn't get away. They just kept on talking. But anyway, have you found out who the demon is?" Wyatt asked.
I took a deep breath. "Yes." My voice lowered. "It's Julian. He's attacking people again." A dark look came over my brothers faces. They had always hated him, and wanted to vanquish him months ago, but my stupid willingness to believe anyone's lies had prevented them from doing so.
"Wait, you know the demon that is attacking people in our town?" Emmett asked dumbly.
Wyatt nodded stiffly. "Yep, we knew him. Of course it's only because the women in our family attract the worst kind of men, isn't that right Isabella?" I ducked my head down in shame. It was my entire fault. Had I not dated Damon, had I not trusted his promise to never hurt people again, we wouldn't be in this position.
"She feels bad enough, Wyatt." Chris snapped at Wyatt as he wrapped an arm around me. "She didn't know he was a demon, she thought he was nice. And don't forget, you yourself have fallen for a demon. So back off." I was touched that Chris didn't blame me too much for falling for Damon.
"You dated a demon?" Edward asked in a sad voice. I looked at him and his eyes were so full of pain it made me hurt as well.
"We only dated for about a month." I explained. "I didn't know he was a demon, but when I found out I broke up with him. He had been killing people, trying to rise up on the demonic food chain. We told him we wouldn't vanquish him if he never killed again, and I believed him." I turned to the wall so I didn't have to look at him any more before murmuring so softly only the vampires could her "kind of like I always fall for the guys who hurt me."
I heard several gasp but I ignored it. Taking a deep breath and turned to Wyatt and Chris. "I think it's time to have a little chat with Damon." I walked over to the book and opened it to the spell to summon Damon.
Magic forces black and white,
Reaching out through space and light,
Be he far or be he near
Bring us the demon Damon here.
A swirl of light appeared before us and then Damon was there. He was handsome to say the least. He had a full head of the most luscious blond hair I had ever seen with blue eyes that could make any girl melt. He was muscular and very tall. Of course, he could never compare to Edward. My brothers and I took a defensive stance in front of the Cullen's.
"Why, Bella, my love. How nice to see you again. Have you come to your senses and decided that we belong together?" He asked in a cocky voice.
"I'm not your love, Damon, and no I haven't decided that we belong together, because I know that we don't belong together. Now why are you attacking innocents when we told you that we'd kill you if you did?" I asked my voice strong and resilient.
"Because I knew you would investigate it. I have a proposition for you, my love. I will stop killing innocents if you become my queen. It is your destiny." He smirked at me and I vaguely was aware of the Cullen's growling lowly.
"What do you mean 'it's my destiny'?" I asked crossing my arms across my chest.
"That destiny was chosen for you when you were born. My master wanted to take you and raise you as a queen, but as you know it didn't turn out that way. Now I have a chance to make his dream come true. Become my queen and I won't hurt your little family." I froze. The man who was responsible for me being given up and almost killing me. He never was interested in me, only my power. I felt anger grow within me.
"You only wanted me for my powers!" I exclaimed. He smirked again and nodded. I growled. "So you want my power, well here it is!" I yelled and threw my arms up and he was surrounded in lightning. He fell to the ground in pain. "You have messed with the wrong girl." I said as I released him only to throw him against the wall. I raised my hand to blow him up, but he was quicker. He threw out his hand and released a dark powder.
EPoV
My family and I watched silently as Wyatt, Chris, and my Bella spoke to this Damon. The demon that had dated my Bella. It hurt me to know that she had moved on, but I couldn't rely blame her. That's what I asked her to do anyway.
"Because I knew you would investigate it. I have a proposition for you, my love. I will stop killing innocents if you become my queen. It is your destiny." Damon smirked at Bella. My family growled lowly. How dare this demon think that Bella's destiny was to become his queen!
"What do you mean 'it's my destiny'?" Bella asked crossing her arms across my chest.
"That destiny was chosen for you when you were born. My master wanted to take you and raise you as a queen, but as you know it didn't turn out that way. Now I have a chance to make his dream come true. Become my queen and I won't hurt your little family." My family was shocked and confused. Who was his master? Was he the reason Bella had been adopted?
"You only wanted me for my powers!" Bella exclaimed and he smirked again nodding. Bella growled shocking us again. "So you want my power, well here it is!" She yelled and threw her arms up and Damon was surrounded in lightning. How the hell was sweet, fragile, innocent Bella doing this? I mean I know she is a witch and all, but this is just too strange. Damon fell to the ground in pain. "You have messed with the wrong girl." Bella said in a low voice as she released him only to throw him against the wall. She then raised her hands as if to throw something at him, but he was quicker. He threw out his hand and released a dark powder. As it hit her, her body flashed a dark purple light and Damon was gone.
We all stood quiet for several minutes. No one made a sound, we were too confused to. What was that purple light and the black powder? None of this was making any sense and for the first time in 100 years I was utterly lost and confused.
Surprisingly Wyatt was the one to break the tension. "So…Uh….Anyone knows what just happened? He asked while looking at Bella with confusion and fear.
"You mean you don't know what just happened?! You're supposed to be the expert here!" Emmett exclaimed. He received dirty looks from our family. "What? I'm serious!" He wined.
"No, Emmett, we don't know what that was. But we can assure you, we will find out." Chris said stiffly. "Bella, maybe you should go down stairs with the Cullen's while Wyatt and I find out what that powder was." Bella opened her mouth to disagree with him but decided against it.
"Ok." She said. Motioning us to follow her, she began to descend the stairs. "Sorry about that." She said to us as she led us to the medium kitchen where her family was.
"Bella, you have nothing to be sorry for." Jasper said to her gently. She smile at him and went to hug her father and explain what happened.
"Don't worry, honey." Leo said protectively. "Wyatt and Chris will find out what happened. Now, how about that story about how you all met?" Bella froze and looked panicked. So I took it upon myself to explain that we had met, fell in love, and how I broke her heart. As I told the tale, Bella's eyes filled with tears and I felt my dead, unbeating heart break.
"So you are telling me," Leo seethed, "That you broke my daughters heart?!" I nodded in shame. Leo looked like he was ready to explode and I readied myself as he began to yell.
Damon PoV
The underworld was a dark, damp, depressing place. With walls of stone and earth it was easy to feel like the world was going to crash down on you, and I loved it.
I strode confidently down a long stretch of hall looking for the sorceress Kai. I was lucky to have met her, for it would take all the power I could find to pull this off. I smirked deviously to myself as I thought of my well planned scheme. Everything was falling into place, and soon I would have my prize.
The sorceress Kia was a dark, exotic woman. Her beauty was evident, but her temper was great. She was dressed as usual in deep burgundy robes that accented her full body. She chamber consisted mainly of a bed, books by the million, and a single stone slab in the center of the room, which allowed her to look into the future as well as many other things.
"Kai, it is done. You may proceed with the next step. How long should this take?" I asked impatiently.
"My lord, Damon, patience is a virtue. It will be done in time." She said cryptically as she picked up a vial of red liquid and moved over to the stone slab. She poured the liquid into the center of the slab, and it seeped into the stone. She began to chant words not even I could understand, and I smiled. Victory was MINE!
Bella Pov
I sat quietly as I watched my father yell at my former boyfriend and forever love. This was getting quite tiresome, and my head began to pound for the loudness of his voice.
"DAD!" I shouted, getting his attention. "Stop yelling, it's not…." I trailed of as I began to hear a soft chanting. Where was it coming from?
"Bella?" I vaguely heard my mom ask, but I was too preoccupied listing to the enchanting words. They began to get louder and my vision began to blur and spin. 'What was happening?' was my last thought before everything went dark.
Edward PoV
I watched in horror as Bella began to fall, but I was able to catch her. What was wrong with her? She seemed just fin a few minutes ago.
"Quick, bring her into the living room." Piper said in panic. Lifting her up into my arms I ran, at vampire speed, and laid her on the couch. Her brow was frowned and sweat was appearing on her head. "Chris! Wyatt!" Piper yelled up to the attic, but I was focused on Bella.
Suddenly her eyes shot open. But they weren't her eyes. They were cold, hard, and unfeeling. Our eyes locked and rage appeared on her face. She moved her hand in a 'be gone!' kind of way, and I went sailing across the room and smashed into the grandfather clock.
"Bella!" Everyone exclaimed and I was up in a second. She quickly stood up and looked to each person. Raising her hands again everyone in the room was pushed against a wall. Why was she doing this? My thoughts cased when a demon appeared in the center of the room before Bella.
"My queen!" He hailed as he bowed to her. "I was sent to take you to your castle." Her castle? What the HELL? Then it hit me. This had something to do with that black powder of Damon's!
"No, Bella, don't!" Phoebe pleaded. But it was too late. Bella had already taken the demon's hand and disappeared in a blaze of fire.
So what do you think? Do you like what I did with it? I had such a hard time coming up with this. I kept coming up with ideas but they just didn't work. Anyway keep reviewing and please give me some ideas on what you would like to happen. It would rely help a lot!
