Trying to Survive
Chapter 2
Bella POV
When I got back to the house, I entered through my second floor bedroom window. I made sure I was super quiet and went to the bathroom. I quickly looked in the mirror, my eyes were almost fully black. I knew they would want to take me out hunting, I could lie and say I have a certain power. Hmm. I got it. I almost jumped up and down I was so happy. I grabbed a shirt from my bag, and went back out the window.
Then I ran through the front door, everyone had frozen, and unfrozen when they saw me. "I got it." I said, showing them my shirt. I started to walk up the stairs when Carsile said, "Marie. Just because you are immune to human blood, doesn't mean that you don't need to hunt. Or if its because you are suicidal. Don't be." I felt my anger boiling. I turned around and looked him straight in the eye. I was so lucky that when I became a vampire my lying skills became believable. "You don't think I hunt?" I asked, innocently. "Marie, honey. Your eye's are almost flat black." Esme said. I sighed. "When I have a lot of a certain emotion my eyes turn black. When I have a huge mix of emotions my eyes turn green." Not bad, I complimented myself. "I havent heard of that in a vampire." Carsile mused. I shrugged, and decided to add something.
"If you don't mind, could I go hunting now?" I asked. I was not going to eat anything, I just needed to get away. "I will go with you." Edward said. "Me too." Alice chimed in. I was panicked in the inside, but on the outside I made sure my emotions were calm. It is good Jasper cant feel my emotions. "No. If you don't mind, I would like to go alone." I said, shyly. They both nodded. And I left.

On my run, I started to think about my past. My life with Renee and Phil. My life with Charlie. How they were all murdered because of me. How I didn't get to have my revenge on Victoria, because she ran off. How I suffered heart ache because of the Cullen's. Once I was in Canada again. I decided to run through the fields. The fields was my place for peace. But as I ran through I had his bad feeling. And I couldn't shake it. It felt as if something was watching me. Then I was tackled to the ground by something. I pushed them off me, and got up. It was Laurent. Holey crap. But he cant know who I am. "Who are you?" He asked. Phew, he doesn't know. I better play along.
"Who are you?" I growled, instead of answering his question. "You eat humans?" He asked. "Animals." I said. He nodded. "You're a human eater?" I asked. He nodded, again. I made myself look in thought. "My name is Laurent." He said. "Marie." I replied. "Do you have a coven?" I asked. James was killed. And I am not exactly sure if Victoria is with him. "Yes. Victoria. She had some business to take care of, so we are actually meeting up again today. Do you have a coven?" Hmm. Victoria and Laurent again. "Um.. The Cullen family. In Washington." I said. His eyes seemed to glow darker as I told him. "They killed a member of my coven." He snarled. "And?" I asked, shrugging.
He growled and pounced. We started rolling on the ground hitting and punching, no biting. Until we heard a growl, "Stop." I knew that voice. I looked up to see Victoria staring down at both of us. We both got up and wiped the dirt from our clothes. And faced Victoria. She never changes. "What are you doing and Who are you?" She asked pointing a finger at me. "My name is Marie. I was out here hunting, and just met Laurent. I am guessing you are the amazing Victoria, that Laurent was talking about?" I asked, laughing in the inside. Victoria was furious. "Leave, you filthy diseased thing." She snarled. "You might be mixing that up a bit. You must have it your head, and you don't remember hat you are the filthy diseased thing." I snarled back. I had no idea where I got all this courage.
I was not ready when Victoria lunged at me. I flew back in the forest. I couldn't see either of them. I los my courage and headed home.
