Chapter 3

Instinct


Darkness over takes Bella, flames burn her relentless. The pain is worse than anything than she can imagine. Not knowing how long she has endure this but soon, sounds of the wind, the leaves, the distance highway, cars, laughter, and a soft crying sound rings in Bella's ears. The flames burn down and now, Bella beings to feel her body again. Bella feels the cold ground soaking into her body and the grass poking at her different areas. Wiggling her finger, Bella feeling everything that is touch her flesh. Furrowing her eyebrows as eyelids slowly crack open to find the night sky overlapping her. Narrowing her eyes as her vision see things more clearly, Bella scans her soundings. The full moon lingers in the night sky flashing a silver light across the lands.

Bella sits up without any effort, feeling very confuse and lost. She tries desperately to remember why she is here but nothing comes to her mind. Suddenly, soft sounds of a coo awakes in her well develop hearing. Cranking her neck to her right to the source of the sound, it's behind a bundle of nature. Rising to her feet, very quickly, Bella walks cautiously in a defensive position as her feet lightly touch the ground without a sound. Slowly moving aside the branches to find two small infants lying on their back. The infants are bare naked and small. Both have dark hair and white beautiful skin. Their legs and arms are curl up to their chest.

While staring, Bella unconsciously inhales a breath as the scent from the infants smell lovely and instantly her throat starts to burn. Clenching her hand around her neck as her senses over take her. Curling her upper lip, Bella releases a sinister hiss revealing her bright white teeth. Soon after, one of the infants directs its eyes to Bella with black eyes. Bella hissing immediately comes to a stop when staring back at those eyes. Briefly remembering seeing similar eyes from someone else but could not remember who. Furrowing her eyebrows before one of the infants release a soft moan that is soothing.

Then, right before her eyes, Bella remembers being pregnant and feeling a child kicking with in her. Widening her eyes to her single memory, but she remains confuse. "Wasn't I met to have only one child?" Bella muses briefly while struggling to remember anything else that will put the pieces together. Her eyes drift down to her clothing noticing a large whole in her dress along with dry blood covering the front. Rip fabric hangs over the hole, lifelessly. Looking at her skin behind her dress. Eyes drift to her arms, Bella notice her skin is a beautiful white skin that is cold and hard.

Bella glance back at the infants before leaning forward and gently cuddling the babies into either arm and being very careful to not to breath. Her eyes glance at either child in awe and bewilderment. "My Babies." Bella murmurs to herself, voice is silky.

Bella notices that one child is a boy and the other is a girl. The boy directs it head to her clothing and smell the blood and instantly the boy begins to suck on it. Quickly, Bella removes the cloth from his mouth without struggling to hold on to either child. The boy begins to cry a screeching sound. "Must be hungry." Bella muses again, remaining in bewilderment as she tries to figure out what to feed her children.

A constant thud sound draw Bella attention as her eyes come across a small pack of deer traveling through the forest. Bella's eyes narrow follow by a smirk. Gently resting her children to the ground as both infants are crying. "Don't worry I'll bring back food." Bella whispers determinedly before sprinting off inhuman speed towards their first meal.

After sharing their first meal, the infants calm down. Bella drags off the dead animals and tosses them away. Furthermore, Bella maternal instincts kick in, she rips her dress that is not stain with her blood and wraps her babies them. Unfortunately, there's not enough fabric. Bella hiss in frustration before cradling her children in her arm but both children quickly cling onto her without effort. Sprinting off into the forest, the trees blew past her in a blink of an eye as her eyes come across a house.

Bella approaches the house as another memory come forth to her mind, remembering storming out of the house and into her truck before running off into the forest.

Strolling to the house and gripping the door knob and accidently crush the knob in her hand. The baby boy coos in awe before singing in laughter. Without effort Bella gently pushes open the door and with success she did not destroy the wooden door. Entering into the room as her eyes wonder around the room and finally resting on a piano.

Remembering a certain lullaby that's slow and soft. The music echoes in her mind but soon fades away.

Furrowing her eyebrows in confusion, Bella eyes drift to the white sheets in the room and arches an eyebrow as a idea appear in her mind,

Using the fabrics for clothing, Bella wraps herself and her infants in the fabrics like togas. Of course, the clothing is ragging and loose but it'll do. Bella's sheet wraps around one shoulder and a tight knot is at her waist. The infants are wrapping in similar style.

Resting the infants on the couch as both begin to sit up. Even though they are small they are quick strong. Smiling at her infants as Bella hears a distance sound of cars approaching the house. Instantly, Bella hisses and stands in front of her children as she stares through the windows. Several cop cars skit to a stop in front of the house as humans exist their vehicles.

A burning sensation awakes in Bella's throat and she immediately stops breathing. Using every fiber in her being to prevent herself from massacring these human. To this sudden need to not to harm these humans bewilder Bella, knowing very well it is bad…..but how?

Watching the humans investigate the red truck as Bella listen intently at what the humans are saying.

"Check the truck and see if there's any sign of her….."

"Nothing here…..."

"Four of you search the forest……"

"Bella!" A familiar voice calls out; the voice is full of concern. Bella remembers that voice, "Charlie?" She asks out loud as memories of their relationship flash before her eyes.

Involuntary, Bella steps forward and wants to go to him, "No Bella!" A different voice echoes in her mind, Bella instantly searches her surrounding for that voice but nothing. It's nothing like the human's voice it's a velvet voice, a voice of her hidden past.

Furrowing her eyebrows in bewilderment as she tries desperately to find the source of that voice. Then, she remembers her son's eyes and how they match someone of her past.

Black coal eyes stare deathly at her in a room full of teenagers. But she could not remember his full face just those menacing eyes.

"Leave Bella…..he can not see you like this! Get out!" The voice commands in pleading voice that is strict. Instantly, Bella cradles her infants into her arms and momentarily glancing back at Charlie who is brisk walking to the front door. "I'm sorry Charlie."

Before Charlie enters into the abandon house, Bella sprints out in a flash.
