Chapter 2

JPOV

Wow! I actually won. I actually destroyed him. Sure, I was a better fighter than him, but he could read my mind, I thought while I was finishing him up. When he was all burned to ashes, I looked over at the girl. She was too far changed for me to suck her blood. And I shouldn't try to destroy her, because she would be a strong new born soon. I knew that well.

But I made her. I don't want her to burn to death before she is even fully a vampire. So I picked up her limp body, and I ran.

"There you are. I was beginning to think they had killed you after all," Victoria gushed. But then she noticed what I was carrying. Her eyes widened.

"What the hell is that?! Oh my god, you bit her! You bit her, and brought her back to me! What the hell do you expect me to do with her? Why did you even bother? She's going to wake up as a new born and run back to the Cullen's. She could kill us before she goes. Or they could come to avenge him. Wait-you did kill him, right?" she exclaimed.

"I didn't mean to bit her; I was trying to suck her blood. You don't have to do anything with her, I just thought it would be nice to-"

"Wait-you? Nice? Ha!" she interrupted.

"As I was saying, I just thought it would be nice to offer her a place with us before she runs off to Washington," I continued. "I made her. I created her. I shouldn't let her escape me," I said darkly. "And, yeah, I destroyed him. Do you really think Edward would have let me take her if he was around to stop me?"

"So he does have a name."

"Yeah, and this is Bella," I gestured to the girl in my arms.

"Shouldn't you put her down or something? How long has it been since you bit her?" she asked with unnecessary worry.

To be honest, I hadn't thought about putting her down. In the oddest way, I sort of liked her there...

"It's been about two and a half days. She's almost done. Her heart is slowing, and she has basically shut up about the pain."

"Ok, good. We don't have to wait long. What about Laurent..."

"He left on his own. If he wants to come back, then that's his choice."

"So now what do we do?" she questioned. Like I would know.

"I don't know. I guess we wait another few hours or so."

She sat down against a tree, patting the space next to her.

"Come sit with me."

"Umm... I think I better stand." I gestured to Bella with my head.

"Oh, who cares about her? She won't notice the difference. Set her down, sit, and tell me what I missed."

"I'll just stand and wait. What do you want to know?"

"James," she said commandingly." Put her down, and sit. Why the hell are you so fascinated with not putting her down?" she said, glaring at Bella, forcing me to look at her body in my arms. Victoria noticed my gaze, and then gasped.

"Oh my god! No, you can't be. You can't!" she murmured in amazement.

"'Can't be' what?" I demanded.

"You honestly can't see what's happening?" she questioned.

"If I did, why would I be asking you?"

"James, you idiot, you're falling for her. Can't you see that?"

I gasped. No. that's not possible. She's the human I almost killed, but ended up changing into a vampire. I can't be falling for her. But maybe I am...

"No. I'm not," I finalized. And at that exact moment, Bella stirred in my arms. My grip tightened around her reflexively.

"Oh, really? I'm leaving. Now. Don't try to follow after me. You're too..." she struggled for a word, sounding so human. "You won't... be able to leave her," she concluded.

"No, Victoria, please, don't leave. I can let her go, I mean it. If she wants to, of course. And if not...then..." I stammered.

"Then you'll let her go. Back to the Cullen's. Or off on her own. Whatever she wants," she glared.

"Fine," I sighed, "If you're leaving, you better do it now, before she wakes up. Remember, we were the bad guys. We don't want to scare her that much."

"Bye, James," she said, kissing my cheek on the way out.

As soon as she was gone, Bella stirred again. Crap! What was I going to do about her? Bella's eyelids fluttered and she moaned softly through her lips. She was almost done. I guess I'll just keep her like this, in my arms, and see what she wants to do when she wakes up. Her eyes fluttered again, and her heart beat slowed to a stop. She was finished. She took a deep breath in, and slowly opened her eyes.
