Swanqueenator: I wrote this chapter with your review in mind.

JenDamn: Damn, your good. What tipped you off?

The Vampire followed Bella's eyes and widened her smile.

Shakily Isabella touched the bloodied teeth, her eyes unreadable."Pablo?" She finally asked in a trembling whisper.

Red Eyes nodded, and captured Bella's hand with her own, forcing her to stay on the sticky substance.

"Can't have loyal servants protecting you from me Isabellah." She frowned.

Bella felt another flicker, this one stronger, before it disappeared.

She swallowed slowly. Her chest felt tight and her heart decided it wanted out.

"This was your kill. His death is on your hands. Acknowledge his death for your continued good health."

Abruptly Red Eyes embraced Isabella, her freezing arms locking her into an iron tight hold.

Isabella's stomach churned uncomfortably and bile burned the back of her throat, but her fear of.. abandonment kept her from absolutely still in Red Eye's intimate embrace.

Red Eyes bit into Bella's finger, and blood flowed into her waiting mouth.

Isabella let loose a noise that was somewhere in between a hushed scream and a sob before she settled on whimpering and shaking as Red Eyes sucked on her blood slowly.

Her demon eyes could've burned holes into Bella's face, but Bella could hardly see through her weeping eyes as Red Eyes slowly and purposefully savored the taste of her.

For Bella, it felt like hours had gone by, but in truth only 10 minutes had truly passed. Finally, Red Eyes had sucked her fill from her finger and was coating her finger in venom.

Isabella recoiled, knowing what a vampire's saliva into her bloodstream would entail but her weak push back from Red Eyes did nothing but serve to amuse the vampire.

The vampire chuckled, and grabbed her chin, forcing her to look into her eyes. "This is an old ritual between humans and Vampires. I have taken your delicious digit and accepted your gracious offering."

Bella's eyes widened in revolusion. "That wasn't an offering you-!"

Red Eyes dazzled Bella, and pumped out hormones to sedate her humans bizarre, yet refreshing show of temper.

Really her apathetic attitude made the ancient Vampire feel..

Uncomfortable.

It wasn't natural for such a human to look so devoid of life. To vampires, to her, Humans are the embodiment of life. Such contradictions are unnatural.

Rapidly, her human began to succumb. Red Eyes felt the tiniest feeling of guilt, after all she didn't want to turn her human into a mindless addict, before she shoved the guilt away.

Bella's heart began to slow as her eyes started to dilate and she willingly sucked the offered blood from Red Eyes.

"Good...Such a good girl." Red Eyes crooned to her as she ran her fingers through Bella's clean, short tresses.

—————

Kate, as well as her sisters, had a long history of killing, seducing, and fucking humans for mere sport.

But after dabbling into a more humane approach to the rapidly growing human dominated world, it became clear which path would be more ethical, and long lasting.

'Although', Kate thought semi-wistfully as she gazed at the remains of the last possible witnesses of the Cullens last, grievous mistake..

She missed her old lifestyle.

This newer, approach to living was refreshing but not fulfilling.

Kate inhaled the scent of her victims deeply as she stroked a blond head of the dead beside her.

It wasn't too difficult to track down the human horde that had invaded the Cullens property and convince them to join her for a wild, free, alcoholic joy-ride on the outskirts of town, just before reaching Oregon.

The narrow-minded teens, had taken one look at her beauty, booze, and had practically begged her to let them orchestrate their own deaths.

'There were perks,' Kate thought lazily, shifting her weight in the wrecked car to sit on the body of the male who was closest to the window.

In her old lifestyle with her siblings, they had their adopted mother, and the charm of misogyny and raging ignorance on their side.

They were free to travel using their most natural means, as well as plenty of fresh-ish air, (even back then Humans polluted the air with their death, disease, and disharmony-war) and they didn't have to be so painstakingly careful all the time.

Simply put, she missed it. Maybe it was mere nostalgia of it all rather than anything else.

Life was stale, and it was making Kate feel weary, yet she did her best to stay the light her coven mates needed to not give into their baser instincts of cruelty.

It was only natural for a coven to begin to nest and exhibit callousness towards one another and yet, they didn't.

'Boss's sure it's the new dieting,' Kate groused to herself and yet she wasn't totally convinced. Their time with their mother was relatively peaceful, given the time period and their lifestyle.

It didn't help that Boss was in love with Carlisle, further diminishing Tanya's theory, but that was another pot-hole for another time.

Kate caressed the momento on her marriage finger, allowing cherished memories to flutter over her conscious gently, her heart gave a phantom echo of a heartache.

Slowly she stepped out of the car, taking care to remove all possible genetic evidence her being in the car with the unfortunate teens.

'Perhaps it's time,' she murmured as she lit the gasoline with her trusty zippo.

She watched the flames until nothing was left but the charred skeleton structure of the car before leaving.

E/N: So, our first real look into Kate's mind. What do you think?

Still need a beta...anyone? Please?
