(A/N: So, you'll find that it is really easy for me to write dark things with really odd concepts. i plan on bella slowly getting better. she's not gonna see kate, and then be like "oh i'm so in love". not when victoria had her so long)
…
Kate
Holy shit.
How do you survive this?
I've never seen anything so grotesque.
The bruises, scratches, bites, and scars on her skin make her look like she's seen war.
And perhaps she has.
Who did this do her?
She's obviously going to be traumatized, and I'm sure whatever vampire hurt her will be back, but still.
"Victoria.…"
Who is that? Who's name is it that this girl whispers so softly?
…
Victoria
Pain.
It's a testament of my love. I love her. I need her. I'll always come back for her.
But she's been so spoiled lately, so I need to take myself away. She'll be so needy when I get back. I'm sure of it.
It's been a week now, so I think it's time I head back to her. My sweet, sweet Isabella.
I'm sure she's missed me.
As I get closer to the door, I smell something.
Someone.
And I don't hear Isabella.
No.
No.
No.
No.
She's still here. No one can take her away from me.
The smell of fear, Isabella's, my mind supplies. I've smelled enough of her fear. Who, other than me, made her feel that way?
She belongs to me.
With me.
She lives for me.
She'll die for me.
She needs me.
Who took her away?
Whose scent is this?
I need her.
She left.
No,
She was taken.
I'm going to kill them all.
I will kill them.
She's mine.
…
Bella
Where's Victoria?
She left me, didn't she?
She let the gold-eye take me away.
She said she needed me.
She told me I couldn't leave her, so why did she leave me?
Who is that, who took me away from her?
"Hello. My name is Kate, these are my sisters, Tanya and Irina."
A voice, angelic, breaks through my thoughts.
"Gold... what are you doing here?" I ask, frantic.
She quirks her sculpted brow at me. I feel naked before her, like she sees me.
"Who was the vampire that tortured you?" Kate asks. Panic settles, familiarly, in my chest.
"You don't understand. Take me back. She needs me, she said so. She needs me, she won't know what to do without me." I plead.
Irina looks at me, looks at the scars that cross all along my body.
"If she needed you, she wouldn't have hurt you like that."
I'm so confused. Hurt me? She didn't have a choice, don't they understand?
"No. No. She didn't want to, she had to. She needed it, and shes just been gone for awhile so that's why these are scarring. She would've bit me again, made me better. She would've made me pretty for her."
My pleads stop the moment he walks in.
"Laurent?" I whisper, unable to stop myself.
"Bella, what happened?"
Laurent knows Victoria, he can help me get back.
"Laurent, take me back to her. Victoria, she needs me."
Why does Laurent look so shocked? Doesn't he know, Victoria can't be alone right now?
"Bella..." Laurent trails off, as I look him directly in the eye.
"She made me promise. I have to. I promised." I begged. Please, can't they see? I need Victoria.
Laurent looks almost sick, or as sick as you can for a vampire, before darting out of the room. Tanya and Irina trail behind them, leaving me and Kate alone.
"She tortured you, didn't she? That's not okay, Bella." Kate spoke up, after a moment of awkward silence.
I whirled on her, anger in my eyes as I snarled.
"She only did what she had to, she only did it because of your stupid fucking cousin, Edward!"
Kate looked shocked, before looking me directly in the eyes.
Oh God.
How can she be so beautiful?
…
Kate
Holy fucking shit.
This girl, this scarred, but gorgeous girl, is my mate?
I'm going to fucking kill Edward.
How could he abandon her? Leave her to people like Victoria, without a second thought?
How long was she there, tortured as Victoria slowly corrupted her mind with lies?
Did the Cullens even know?
Did they know that their golden boy's actions caused the carnage that is Isabella Swan? Did they know that her whole body was scarred, with 136 vampire bites?
Yes, I counted.
Did they know that she has scratch marks going up and down her arms, her back, her thighs?
I want them dead.
They should pay.
He should've been tortured, not Bella.
Fuck.
…
Laurent
Holy shit. What did Victoria do?
The only unmarred part of Bella was her wrist, where James had bitten her.
God. What the hell.
Bella doesn't deserve this. I don't know the girl well, but she doesn't deserve that. Fuck.
If what the girl said is true, then Victoria will stop at nothing to have her returned to her side. She will go further off the deep end.
I'm assuming Victoria was grooming Bella to become the perfect mate.
Fuck.
