Hey, so as Lace explained, she's writing Alice's POV and I'll be writing Bella's!
And, help us choose who Alice will end up with!
Have her own Twilight with a human boy?
Eddie?
Or another Vamp?
Choose! Lol.
If it's okay with BHD I will put a poll up on our profile. It's so much easier!
All my work and endless measures
Never seen to get me very far
Walk a mile just to move an inch now
Even though I'm trying so damn hard
I'm trying so hard
This world can turn me down
But I won't turn away
And I won't duck and run
Cause I'm not built that way.
When everything is gone there is nothing left to fear.
The world cannot bring me down
No cause I am already here!
Duck and Run - 3 Doors Down.
Bella POV
It was strange following people you only just met and had no choice but to trust. I knew I could trust them, but I was relying on my visions.
After following the trail for a while, we ended up at an Asylum. Most of the equipment was broken, doors pulled from hinges and thrown recklessly into the long, cold hallway.
"Definately another vampire attack." Victoria stated.
"Bella!" James called. I ran to his side. He sat at a wooden desk, flipping through papers. "Do you see anything?"
I closed my eyes and focused on this place.
Nothing.
"I can't see the past, James." I said apologetically. He smiled gently.
"It's fine." He directed his full attention back on the papers.
I was walking through the long, lino clad hallways. Looking for any sign of my being here. I was constantly greeted by the same thing. Dead bodies with stale cold blood, limbs ripped off and thrown around. Nothing was normal.
I walked into one room particular. It was almost calling me. There was a single bed in the room. The covers were torn and had slight bloodstains on them. I walked over and placed my hand on them. I really wish I knew what this was meaning. My hand ran over a hard bump.
I pulled back the blue cover and saw a leather journal. The leather was brown, old and cracked. I opened the cover slowly.
Isabella Marie Brandon and Mary Alice Bandon. The title was crossed out and scrawled underneath read:
Bella and Alice Brandon.
Who the hell was Alice? We had the same last name.. Is this me? Isabella Marie Brandon? I kept reading. I had to know.
Today they beat Bella and I. Bella stood up for me when one of the men slapped me. She got stabbed in the stomach. All over a slap. Six men were in the room with us. Two frail, small girls of only 14 years old.
They looked at us hungrily. Taunting us with the knives they held in their dirty hands. We were raped many times, and had even more broken bones. One of the men kicked Bella in her already cracked rib. It snapped.
I will never forget the torturous scream that rang through my ears that came from my sisters mouth.
I only had Bella now. My twin. We couldn't remember who was older now. Too many drugs.
Alice. x
Her name was scrawled messily at the bottom, like she was in a hurry. I turned the page and kept reading.
I want to kill them. Every last fucking one of them. And I will. I know I'll never get out of this place. I know I deserve to be here. But my sweet, sister Alice..
She doesn't deserve any of this torment. Half of the things they did, I didn't even deserve, but they kept telling us we were the devil's spawns. That we deserved this.
I guess after years of being told the same thing, you actually start to believe it.
Alice held me as I cried today. Today was what they called a 'Bella Day'. Where they would seperate me from Alice and beat me, rape me, nearly let me die, all to bring me back to health and do it again.
I lay against Alice for hours that night sobbing as she storked my hair. I never got why my hair was longer than hers.
Alice had short spiky black hair. They cut it when she fought back. Tried to get to me. It's spiky because I fixed it up for her. They cut it so crookedly.
I always said my hair was long. It came to an end just under my shoulder blades. Not too long, it used to be longer. But, well.. I guess they just like cutting things.
Fuck.
Bella. x
Her writing got messy toward the end. My writing got messy.. Toward the end.. This was me. I had a sister. What happened to her? I closed the book and held it to my chest. I'm glad these sick fuckers are dead. I screamed out in frustration before snapping the bed in half with my fist.
My family ran into the room as fast as they could. Victoria wrapped her arms around me and held my sobbing frame.
"They're sick fucking bastards. If they weren't dead, I would have killed them!" I yelled while throwing the book at James.
I watched as he read the pages quickly at a vampires speed. His eyes would widen, and he would occasionally growl.
"Fuck." He hissed, closing his ink black eyes tightly. He thrusted it to Laurent who skim read the pages. He didn't get as far as James did before he handed it to Victoria.
"We'll read it when you're ready." She told me gently. I nodded, running a hand through my hair. This was definately me.
"I have a sister. A twin sister." I stated. Victoria gasped.
"Where? Does it say?" She asked quickly. I shook my head.
"I don't know. I want to know. Why can't I remember?" I yelled in frustration.
"Because of all the drugs they pumped into your system. The book said that when you wouldn't co-operate, they knocked you out and injected them.. Amoungst other things." He growled the last part. Victoria shuddered.
"I have to find my sister." I said closing my eyes. I kept thinking one thing. Alice Brandon. Short, ink black, spiky hair.. Alice Brandon Alice Brandon Alice Brandon..
Nothing.
I looked into my future.
I was running happily. A small girl, the same build and height as me, running beside me. She was kind of blurry, so i couldn't see her too well..
"Come on Bella. I lost you for so long! We have to make up for it. Jasper can wait!" She giggled. She reached for my hand and spun me around. I done the same to her as we danced away.
I glanced back at a tall man with honey blonde hair and golden eyes. He stood next to James, Victoria and Laurent.
What the hell?
"Jasper?" I asked out loud.
"Who?" Laurent asked, his french accent very specific.
"In my vision.. Jasper was standing next to all of you and I was dancing with a girl like me." I was still confused.
"Your sister! She must know this Jasper person!" Victoria shouted happily. I gave her a weak smile. I didn't want to get my hopes up to have them crushed back into powder. She nodded slowly in understanding.
"We'll come back soon. Once the bodies have been taken care of. We have to take our leave now." James said in his 'Alpha' voice.
I took a quick glance aroud the room, clutching the book tightly to my chest. I quickly looked for something else, but nothing was there. It was just empty. I ran out of the room back to my coven as we fleed from the area.
"Victoria should know your sizes, we can't risk having a newborn amongst people. It has the potential to get really bad really fast. Laurent, go with Victoria. I'll take Bella hunting." James ordered. We all nodded, Victoria and Laurent going one way and James taking me another way.
"There is a small community not to far from here. I will take you there. That way, if you do massacre the town, well.. not too many people will be lost." He said. I laughed.
"Well, thanks for the trust." I said in a sarcastic tone.
"Sorry, newborn potential danger. Can't have the Volturi on us."
"The who?" I asked.
"They are like the leaders of the vampire world. Follow me," I did as he said and he kept talking. "The Volyuri are to us, as police are to humans. They make sure our exsistence is hidden to the human world. We don't have many rules, but the biggest one?" He asked, taking a side glance at me.
"Never expose vampires to the human race." I answered. It just seemed natural. It was a stupid question really.
"Correct. And if a human finds out.. It depends. They may get pity bestowed upon them and changed. Or.. face death. The vampire though, nine times out of ten, will be slaughtered too, for exposing us. Like I said, not many rules. But the biggest and most important is that." he concluded.
"Anyway, we are here. Let's go find some dinner, Bella." James said in a sing song voice. I had to laugh lightly. "Pass me the book." He said. I did as he asked without question.
He tied it into the belt that held up his dark blue jeans. "There. Not in the way now. Free roam." he said before walking in a random direction.
I listened to the heartbeats. There had to only be about 35 people here.
I walked toward a strong heartbeat. With each step I took, I could smell better. They smelled delicous. Even better tan the first human. Simply mouthwatering.
"Hey little lady. Whats a pretty little thing like you doing all the way out here?" A male that appeared to be in his 20's asked. He had black hair that was slightly long, and icy blue eyes. He stood taller than me, being about 6'1.
"How old are you anyway?" He asked. Shit. i didn't read that far in the book.
"Old enough to know better, too young to care." I answered, while walking toward a secluded area. He followed like I knew he would feeling as lustful and lucky as ever. Poor boy didn't know his life was about to end. I turned toward him slowly. He had a strike of fear.
He must only just be realizing my eye color.
"Gosh.. Your eyes are so beautiful. How are they red?" He asked.
"Hmm.. I'm not sure." I said as I tilted his chin up with one of my fingers so he looked directly into my eyes. There was this weird feeling.. A surge almost. He was radiating fear now.
I saw his whole life, as he kept straing into my eyes. His name was Kris. When he was five years old his mother left his abusive father, after he tried to kill them both. At age 10 he watched his mother hanging from the basement ceiling. Age 16 he had been living on the streets for 6 years. Age 20.. He was as fearful as ever. Of me.
I rested my hand on his shoulder and found it to go straight through him. What the fuck? I yanked it back quickly.
"What the fuck was that?" I hissed. "What are you?"
"What am I? What the hell are you?" He yelled back. I had to admit, I liked his spark.
"I'm a vampire." I said as if stating the weather was overcast.
"Well then.. Change me. I have nothing left to live for. I have no one that would miss me." And he was stating the truth. His emotions told me it was the truth.
"If you have nothing to live for, why do you want to live forever?" I questioned. He looked thoughtful for a minute before he spoke.
"Bella!" My head snapped to the direction James yelled. "What the hell are you doing?" He growled walking toward me. I growled back and stood defensively in front of Kris.
"Having a conversation." I shrugged, slowly shrinking into a crouch. James sighed.
"Kill him, or change him." He said pinching the bridge of his nose. I turned to Kris.
"This will hurt. Maybe you'll forgive me in time." I smiled. He just stared at me and nodded slowly. I motioned for him to come down to my level, he chuckled slightly and obeyed. I went to bite him when something important hit me.
"Shit, James! I'll kill him! I haven't even hunted yet, and I've only been like this for a few days!" Kris gasped slightly.
"Just do it! If you kill him, then you've hunted, if you don't, I'll carry him while you go hunt. Now do it!" He yelled. I didn't waste any time. At vampire speed I turned and peirced his soft skin with my razor teeth.
He wasn't scared. No, not at all. He was happy.. Hopeful. I saw in his mind that was what he wanted most. A family.
I was slightly on guard. the second his warm blood flowed into my mouth, I felt my eyes widen. I tried to push it out of my mind as I pushed venom into the cuts I had made. I couldn't stop myself from drinking some of his blood.
I tried as hard as I could to snap myself out of it. Thinking about his life. He was trusting me. He trusted me. Fuck, Bella, don't screw this up! Do it for him!
I pushed as much venom as I could into his throat before pulling back. His jaw was clenched tightly and I knew he was in intense pain.
"Well done, Bella." James said, walking behind me and patting my back softly. "I knew you could do it."
I gasped. "How? I nearly killed him."
"But you didn't. I'll take him to the forest line. I'll be right there." He said pointing to the trees. "Go hunt. I know I Can trust you after what you just did." He said proudly. I smiled softly and nodded before taking off as fast as I could in a new direction.
Funny how I just saved one human to go kill another. I found a lady who was in her late 40's. She was laying in a clearing near the forestry. I inhaled deeply. She was bleeding. I looked closely, her arm was cut. I ran full force toward her. She radiated fear.
This time, I made a point not to make eye contact. I had pulled her into the woods and snapped her neck before she knew what was even happening. I sank my teeth into her soft skin, feeling the warmth of her blood hit my teeth before I drank greedily.
When I finished the last drop, I buried her body under a tree. I followed James scent back to the forest. He had dropped Kris on the ground who was writhing in pain.
"He bit me." James said. I couldn't help but laugh.
"James?" I asked after a few minutes of silence. He turned to me. "Look in my eyes." I said, walking over to him, and forcing him to look down at me.
"Bella, what are you-" He was cut off as I saw his life.
He was so young when both of his parents were killed. His uncle killed them. He had no one to look after him and had no choice but to live with his murderous uncle.
When he was 16, he ran away from his uncle. He found out he had a sister. She was young. Only 5 years old. He looked after her for 7 years. Thats when rogue vampires came through. James and his sister were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
They killed his sister and started killing James, drained him until he was almost dead. Another vampire came through and fought them away. The vampire was blurry, so James must not remember him.
James was changed at the age of 23. The same age he lost his sister.
After 147 years alone, he found Victoria and laurent, who were their own coven. He immediately took a liking to her and they became mated shortly after.
I tested to see if I could pass through him as I did with Kris. I lifted my hand slowly and put it through his chest. He gasped and yelled at me, begging me to stop. I pulled back immediately.
"I'm sorry! It happened with Kris.. I- I just.. I don't know! It just happened." I pleaded with him to believe me.
"Bella, calm down. i believe you. but that was amazing. What else can you do?" He asked, rubbing his chest slightly.
"I can feel emotions. Right now you're curious, in a little bit of pain, and proud. I just found out with Kris what I did to you. You already know about my visions." I hing my head. I'd be a freak, right?
"Thats.." he trailed off. "Thats amazing." He beamed. His pride hit me full force. "I want you to see if you can manipulate the emotions." He said, nodding toward Kris.
"What?" I asked. Then it hit me. A wave load of pain.
"Focus, Bella."
I pushed as much happiness and calm as I had in me onto Kris, hoping like fuck this would work.
Okay, I don't know James's story, so I made that up. I saw that power on Teen Titans last night that I added today and HAD to make Bella have it. When that power increases and she harnesses it properly, she will be able to control them properly.
Amazing, right?
Haha, anyway, you better review! I put alot of effort into this!
Love BHD
Xx
