Chapter 8: Just The Beginning

Previously on Unrecognizable~

My eyes prickled with venom tears. I groaned in frustration. Why did he always have this affect on me?

Suddenly I heard soft clapping behind me. I whipped around only to be staring into those same pained lifeless eyes that I saw in Carlisle's study five days ago. The eyes belonging to the one that hurt me so terribly. Edward.

Now on Unrecognizable~

Izzy's POV

"What the fuck do you want?" I snarled with as much venom as I could muster.

"Who did you write that for?" The frown etched into his face deepened if possible.

"None of your business." I grumbled irritated.

He looked angry again. "Let me guess, the one you loved who left you."

That set me off, I jumped up from the piano bench and lunged at him, pushing him up against the wall, gripped his neck in my hand with great force.

"YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!" I seethed, tightening my grip on Edward's granite neck.

What happened next took me by surprise. Edward closed his eyes, his expression changed. Almost peaceful? Impossible….

"Do it. Kill me." His voice was barely a murmur, but from those four small words, I could sense the horrid pain he was suffering, as I had gone through before…

But before I could let my new and improved identity crumble to pieces from just those mere words, I released the grasp on his neck, letting him drop to the ground with a loud thud, shaking the house.

I pulled myself together, pressing a hand to my chest, something I hadn't done in a very long time. See what I mean, I'm doing just fine, building a good life for myself and he comes along and ruins it all. I painfully scrunched my eyes closed, sucking in an unnecessary gulp of the burning oxygen.
"You deserve to live like this." I choked out.

My stoic facade had finally collapsed, whatever ran through my golden eyes currently was sure to be broken and full of indescribable pain. The hole in my chest had ripped open, I had to forcefully bite my lip to keep the agonized screams bottled inside my throat. My chest moved up and down as I sucked in deep breaths in order to calm myself. I staggered over to the small rectangular piano bench and unsteadily sat down.

Edward finally opened his lifeless eyes, but remained on the polished laminate floor.

"What have I ever done to make you hate me so much?"

I laughed bitterly, not exactly sure how to respond.

"I deserve to know." He muttered from behind me, void of emotion.

"Well that's too bad. Because I'm not going to tell you." Laughing once again, this time with more ice. "I hope you enjoy disappointment." I smiled viciously, again using the feeble lines Edward tried to feed me that fatal day of the almost accident. I remember it so vividly, Edward saving me from the van then lying. And I thought vampires were supposed to be good at lying!

My gaze flickered to Edward, who at the moment was drowning in his own despair, an endless sea continuously washing over him, enveloping him for the rest of eternity.

"Look asshole, you have to get a grip on yourself." I sneered, Edward slowly looked up, his eyes squinting into small slits, he truly looked like an animal now. A growl erupted from his throat.

I decided to use this to my advantage. I smiled, using my bitchiest tone, "You've got a bit of a temper, don't you?" Hopefully I didn't go overboard with reciting Edward's exact lines. Whatever, he can go shove it. I'm done with his fucking games.

Pain flickered over Edward's face, but just as quickly, it disappeared, replaced with the same dead expression he wore the entire time I had been here.

"You have quite an ego don't you." He sneered. Overly confident bastard.

"Look who's talking." I fired back, rolling my eyes darkly. Anger blazed within me, rage towards him.

I never wanted to be this person, but he made me this way. It's all his fault. His fault, Victoria found me, his fault I lost all my family. But above all, it's HIS fault I was turned into this monster! This dead nonliving horrid creature. I'm stuck forever drowning all eternity living in my loveless, lonely despair.

Well, what do they say. Revenge is a bitch. I smiled, turning on my heels in the direction where he was now off the floor and on his feet.

"So." I urged, "What happened to you? You don't exactly seem to be living a 'happily ever after' either?" I cocked a perfected arched eyebrow at him.

His gaze hardened, as he looked at me with a cold stare. But he stayed silent, no response. His onyx eyes were bottomless lifeless pits of agonizing despair.

"Come on." I purred, grazing his neck with my fingertips gently. "There has to be something…" I trailed off. "Maybe lost of a family member, or hmm.." I eyed him cautiously. "The lost of a mate." I laughed before taking my hand away slowly waiting for him to comprehend what I had just said.

Edward whipped around angrily, charging at me, pushing me full force along with his precious piano into the wall. His hands were firmly gripped at my shoulders, pinning me into the busted drywall that was left of the wall. His face was inches away from mine, I inhaled sharply, remembering the intoxicating scent I loved so much as a human. Again, for the second time today. My mask shattered, venom tears prickling in the corners of my eyes. I think Edward sensed the hurt in my face because he loosened the grip on my shoulders before dropping his muscular arms to his sides. His eyes shone with confusion, I couldn't blame him. I didn't even know what was going on with myself these days.

I turned my back on him, trying to get a hold on my new identity and bury my old one deep inside myself. It was hard but I managed as I always do. I turned back around, allowing him to see my face once again. I was surprised to see the enormous gaping hole in the wall. No doubt, Esme was going to be upset. Just the thought made my heart ache slightly. But I tried to push the thought away, focusing on the matters on hand.

"So, what was her name?" I pressed, smirking.

Instead of firing back a nasty remark, Edward looked exasperated, and incredibly sad. He sighed before escaping the room and retreating back to his bedroom.

Hmp. He is definitely not getting out that easily. I won't go down without a fight. My confidence was back, I stomped out of the small destroyed and down the long hallway to Edward's room.

Surprisingly, the door was left open as if he knew I would be following him in here for answers.

"Look, you-" I started but was cut off unexpectedly.

"Bella."

"Huh?" I questioned, panic began rising within me to dangerous levels. I was spiraling out of control inside, barely maintaining to keep up my expressionless mask.

"Bella. That was her name." His voice cracked in the end, though it was only a mere whisper. Not like the smooth velvet I was used to.

I felt relief as he didn't see through me but at the same time shock coursed through my veins, to my non beating heart. This didn't make sense. He left me, he told me he didn't want me, that I wasn't good enough. That he no longer loved me? I thought his lost mate was Tanya or someone who he thought was worthy of his presence. I couldn't be his mate he is grieving for. No, I must have this all wrong.

I swallowed the sob forming in my mouth, I cleared my throat. "What happened?" Luckily there were no traces of shakiness in my voice. I sounded… normal.

Edward looked down at his hands with a pained expression. This was the most emotion I had seen from him yet.

Finally after each passing minute trickled by slowly, the silence was broken. Edward's voice was shaky, thick with emotion. "She was human."

I gasped, he was talking about me. Luckily Edward mistook my quiet gasp as one for the fact he mated with a human.

"I know. It's quite rare." He uttered before turning to look out the glassy window.

"Well, what happened?" I urged, smiling knowingly. This would hurt Edward immensely. I just wanted to see him suffer the way I did.

But instead of an explanation, I received silence. Edward seemed to be staring at something in the corner.

Looking more closely, a small crumbled picture lay on the table beside his leather couch. A picture of Edward and I, on my dreadful 18th birthday party. I growled low in my throat, barely audible.

"Is that her?" I hissed.

Edward's expression surprised me greatly. He wore an agonized depressing mask of emotions. His enchanting topaz eyes were pained, void of any life, just dull. No longer with liquid gold I had seen before. Now a solid, almost onyx color.

The sight almost shattered my heart, but my heart could no longer be broken as it never really healed in the first place.

"Yes." Edward's voice cracked in the end and he dropped his head in hands. I heard the unmistakable sound of dry sobbing.

I turned around slyly, a scheming smile playing on the corners of my plump lips. I walked out the room confidently.

Edward was going to pay for what he did. And I know just what to do.

Revenge.

What better way to get revenge on Edward then playing games using his 'mate' Bella. Edward better watch out, because this is just the beginning.
