I think this is just going to be a one-shot am not sure unless I get begged or something. Lol
YEAR 1901
She moved through the town swiftly trying not to make herself known she kept her eyes lowered and she listened intently to the mulling of the humans around her. Typically she loved smaller towns, but it was particularly sunny this day and so she had to cast herself along shadows and empty alleyways to not draw attention to her glowing skin.
She turned into another empty alley her destination to get out of the town as quickly as possible set into her mind and a small smile reached her lips as she neared closer to the outskirts of the township. The smells in the alley hit her senses hard making her grimace. The harsh smells of urine and garbage were pungent in this area making her grimace. Her first instinct was to stop breathing entirely but her heavy reliance on her sense of smell lead her to continue breathing.
Ruby eyes flashed up to take a quick scan of the surrounding area and were relieved to find the entire alleyway empty and quickly flashed through the dreaded smell. She continued on her trek at a leisurely pace taking in the small amount of sights that she was able to. To her left she hears the murmurings and laughing of men and women in what she presumed to be a small seedy bar. Briefly she scans the area seeing that there is indeed a bar with a few unclean ladies standing out front resting against the wall of the establishment as some men move into the entrance or step out to talk with them.
It always fascinated her that in her many years humans all tend to act the same and do the same things. Everything seem to always repeat itself the same events occurring, countless times just different faces doing them over the many years. The ever present burn in her throat intensifies at the sounds of the many heartbeats of the humans reminding her that she needs to move on. Looking at the humans once again she pays them one last glance scrunching her nose, but does not judge or linger to look on at them and continues on her trek out of this town.
Her pace resumes; heading in the direction of the end of town, she lets her senses guide her away being sure to stay in the shadows absent from the unforgiving sunshine up above. A small smile finds its way upon her face as she can make out the distinct scent of the on coming wilderness and freedom to run and got to the next town.
The pace she was walking at soon quickened her mind focused on the fast approaching aroma of her own sovereignty. The smell of blood soon invaded her senses causing the woman to stop immediately, nostrils flaring the ever present burning erupting into painful flames. Her body took a sharp turn to the right heading north as she followed the sweet and tantalizing scent of blood.
Her body thrummed with anticipation knowing that it would soon get what it so greatly needed. She crouched low listening to the human around the corner stopping when the sound of two heartbeats reached her ears accompanied by a weak whimper. Still in her low crouch she moved quietly and peered around the corner there she was met with the sight of a young female child lying limply on the ground clothes in shambles and a man standing above her adjusting himself and zipping up his downed zipper.
A low rumble started to form in her throat knowing exactly what had occurred brief flashes of fuzzy memories swarmed through her mind causing her grow to become deeper. She was promptly stirred from her reverie by the sound of skin connecting solidly with skin only to look up and see the man lifting his hand to connect with the child again.
Swiftly she was at his side connecting her fist with the man’s cheek solidly resulting in a loud crunching noise coming from the mans brittle bones before he flew smacking loudly into the brick of the building creating a dimple before slumping to the ground limply. Pitch black eyes looked at the man on the ground a continuous rumbling grow emanating from the woman, she traced the hallowed in imprint that her fist left in the man’s cheek. A vicious smile took over her face looking at the damage before stalking forward.
A large roar ripped through her body as she looked at the unmoving man, lifting her leg she slowly brought it down upon his chest. Her monster smiled with glee giddy for getting what it wanted. The foot that she had on the man’s chest slowly started to push down a feral smile showing her elongated k-nines spread across the woman’s mouth at the cracking noise coming from the man’s rib cage giving way.
The sickening squish sound resulting from her foot meeting with the solidity of the cold floor below the man made her snap out of her instinctual haze. She blinked. Quickly her foot was removed and in its rightful place along side her other.
Another blink and she could feel her eyes back to their typical crimson. Her eyes were hard as she looked at the man remember what she had witness in a flash she turned around and was kneeling next to the small human child. She listened hanging her head as no heartbeat could be heard. Another growl left her lips and she stood turning her back to the scene.
She breathed in deeply trying to rein in her emotions. The deep scent of blood filled the entirety of the alleyway, but it did not invoke her hunger, like usual, the smell of blood from the deceased did not cause her throat to burn with want and need. A sigh escaped her lips as she relaxed decided to get out of this town as quickly as she could and feed when the sun had gone down.
Walking out of the alley she turned in the direction that she was previously headed and quickly continued making her way along the shadowed alleyway quickly and easily. Her speed was just barely human as she hurried along keeping her senses open to not get detected or seen. Finally the trees made themselves known not just by smell but by sight also. She couldn’t contain the grin that stretched across her face as she did away with the human facade and ran full speed jumping into a large tree to perch and relax waiting for nightfall.
She sat in a trance like state just thinking her eyes open unseeing as she sat not moving in the slightest. Blurry memories flooded her mind thinking of the little girl in the alley helpless against her abuser. It sickened her, but brought great pain as well as large amounts of anger within her. The fact that she gave into her instincts so easily showed that her control needed work, but she knew this already her anger always seemed to control her. She felt a small wave of accomplishment at the fact that she was able to snap back so quickly, but she felt no remorse; the man deserved what he got, maybe worse.
The change in the temperature let her know that it was now night. She let her eyes look around and see the few lights that light up the outskirts of the town and smiled; this would be easy. Landing gracefully on the ground she took of at inhuman speeds into town wanting to make this quick she jumped landing on the first roof top so she could run and spot her pray from up above.
She stopped quickly at the sound of a heartbeat. Jumping to the next rooftop, she gazed over its edge into the black of the alley to see a man sitting near a garbage can with a glass bottle in his hand. Sniffing the air she immediately came to the conclusion that the man was intoxicated, jumping down she landed soundlessly beside where he sat.
Her throat burned while her mouth flooded with anticipation of receiving the delicious nectar within the man’s plump veins. She squatted down next to him tilting the man’s head to the side to get access to his neck; the man just blinked not really noticing or caring what was happening. She leaned down biting her teeth breaking through the flesh of his neck easily causing the man to let out a moan of pain. Quickly she placed her hand on his mouth, silencing any further sounds from the man as she greedily sucked in his delicious juice.
As the last drops of his blood entered her mouth she let the man drop; she licked her lips hungrily not wanting to waste a single drop. Satisfied that there was no longer any use being in the alley she turned deciding to take a stroll through the darkened outskirts of town. Soon she could see the tree line and the last building surrounded by trees at the woods edge. She took off running to solitude.
As she got close to the large building a divine smell had her stopping in her tracks. Inhaling the intoxicating scent, she could feel herself being pulled to it. Without even noticing she was moving she was now right next to the building a small window in it wafting the smell out. Jumping up she squatted looking through the bared window into a dingy little room. The smell was all over the place her eyes scanned the room until the landed on a fragile looking girl huddled into the corner knees to her chest on a small cot.
Stunning blue eyes were wide open with obvious fear within them and seemed to be looking straight into her eyes. She cocked her head to the side and sniffed purring lowly within her chest at the smell her eyes continued to study the fragile human that was the cause of such an intoxicating aroma.
The girl’s aroma pulled her and although she had just eaten decided that such a divine smell would have to be accompanied by an exceptional taste and knowing that she didn’t plan on staying in this small town any longer would just indulge a little. Just as the thought crossed her mind she noticed the blue eyes get a glazed faraway look before the girl blinked and began to whimper tears glistening in her eyes a look of totally fear consumed the delicate beauty’s face.
Pain constricted her cold body and the overwhelming need to soothe the fragile being took over. Immediately she began to sing something that has always been with her throughout her existence.
“Dancing bears, painted wings,
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings,
Once upon a December
Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory”
She could see the girl begin to relax at this she continued.
“Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory
Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Things it yearns to remember
And a song
Someone sings
Once upon a December”
Her voice stayed quiet and she opened eyes that she had not noticed she closed. The girl looked calm and relaxed a small smile gracing her lips.
“That was beautiful.” the girl whispered, her voice sounding beautiful and light. The words caused a smile to light up her face as she looked down at the fragile girl who now had her legs outstretched in front of her.
“Thank you”
“What are you?” the question surprised her, but she shrugged.
“I’m not allowed to tell you.” she was honest.
“Then, who are you? What is your name?” she thought for a moment; her name was tied to so many hurtful memories, but it was who she was all those memories even the less focused ones made her who she was and she wanted to be truthful.
“Isabella, Isabella Marie Swan” so she was.
The girl smiled “Your name is beautiful.”
“Thank you and your name?” Isabella questioned the fragile looking girl below.
The girl looked down a slight blush appearing on her cheeks, “I’m sorry I must seem terribly rude; my name is Mary Alice...Brandon” another blush colored her cheeks again at almost forgetting to say her full name.
“It is a pleasure to meet you Mary Alice. If I may, why are you here whatever here is?” Isabella had her brows furrowed slightly looking at the building not knowing what it was.
Mary looked away slightly ashamed “This is an asylum and I was put her because my father believes me a hysteric for what I say I see.”
Confused Isabella thought. She wasn’t quite sure she even knew what this asylum thing was, but if her father thought she was a hysteric it must be a place for those considered instable mentally. She nodded accepting her conclusion. “I see. Well what do you see?”
At her question Mary Alice stiffened thinking back to what she had recently seen. “I…I usually see things before they happen.” She stuttered pulling her legs closer to her body.
Isabella watched as the girl closed up again no longer relaxed and opened. “Why usually?”
“I…before you…before you sang I seen you…you killed me.” The last words were whispered, but Isabella heard them clearly.
Instantly the woman felt ashamed knowing that she had definitely planned on doing just that only stopping because of a whimper. “I…I’m sorry” she stumbled over her words for the first time in her long existence “it’s true though, what you saw I was going to do just that, but you were so frightened and I couldn’t see you like that. I will leave if you wish me to.” She bowed her head ashamedly.
“NO, no…please. Do not go. I am so terribly lonely and afraid of the awful darkness.”
“I planned on killing you and you still wish me to stay?”
“I know you probably think me terribly foolish, but yes.”
“Yes?” she questioned a hint of incredulity in her voice.
“I have been here for so long with not a soul to talk to, but those ghastly doctors and you never did hurt me you calmed me when I was frightened, which is more than I can say many have done for me since I have entered this dreadful place so yes I do wish you to stay.”
“As you wish” she smiled for some reason relieved that Mary had wanted her to stay.
“Why?” the girl questioned in a small voice.
Confusion took over Isabella at the questioning. “Why, what Mary Alice?”
“Why were you going to…kill me?” Mary’s voice squeaked at the end of the sentence causing her to clear her throat behind a dainty hand.
“I…”Isabella thought about a way to explain her actions without divulging her true nature; she looked down at Mary taking in her small fragile appearance and thought about the place she was and decided that even if she did let the girl know no one would believe her. “It is my nature the blood that runs through your veins that causes you to live is what I need; I must kill because that blood sustains me just as animals must loose their lives to sustain you, Mary Alice.”
Mary Alice stayed quiet thinking about what she had just heard; she gave her mind a moment to digest everything “is there not another source for your sustenance? Must you feed from humans?”
Isabella thought a moment before answering. “There was talk of the golden eyed man, Carlisle Cullen, which I heard of many a year ago while I was in Italy, again. They say he survives from the blood of animals, but this is just talk I heard.”
“Why do you not choose to change? Surely since there is another way there is no need to kill innocent lives; is there?”
“It was just rumor that I heard never had I once met this so called golden eyed man, but without that I have been around animals and there blood…it does not appeal to me like that of human blood. I have been around for…a long time and in the beginning it was hard to deal with what I had to do, yes but now I accept it because it is something that cannot change. It is in my nature like it is in your nature to fear me. Never have I had a reason to change so why change?”
“So you choose to be a monster?”
“You believe me a monster?” For some reason the thought of this human thinking that of her made Isabella’s dead heart constrict with pain.
“You kill when there is another way; do you not think that, that gives me sufficient reason to think that of you? Or any other?”
“No.” It was quiet a moment as they both stayed in their own thoughts Isabella gripped with hurt at the girl’s truthfulness.
“I am sorry” the words were whispered so quietly that had Isabella not had enhanced hearing she would have not heard it.
“Do not be for you are right. I have a choice and I choose to be this and for that I am truly a monster. I was once going to kill you so there is no reason for you to apologize for being truthful.”
“But still I have no reason to question how you choose to live your life because it is your choice and no others. Although I do have one question: why did you not kill me; if it is something that you do often, then why not kill me too?” Mary had her head tilted to the side in questioning.
A little shocked at the question Isabella thought back to when she had wanted to kill the girl and had heard her whimper; she didn’t really want to talk about something she herself did not understand fully, but feeling compelled to be truthful to this human she answered honestly. “When I heard you whimper and saw you distraught the desire to comfort you was far more substantial than that of my longing for your blood.”
“When you sang to me”
“Yes, when I sang to you.” Isabella gave a nod even though she knew that Mary, with her weak eyesight, would not be able to see her.
“You sing beautifully. I believe I did not tell you before. The song, it was positively magnificent though I do not believe I have ever heard that particular lullaby, what is the name of it?”
“Well thank you for the compliment Mary Alice, but I regrettably must inform you that I do not know the name of the lullaby. It is from a distant memory, one of the few that I can decipher”
“It is quite beautiful. What do you mean one of the few you can decipher? Are you unable to recollect your past? And please I prefer Alice.”
“Okay Alice.” She smiled saying her preferred name, “I, too, believe that it is quite a lovely melody. And sadly it is true I cannot recall much of my human past, just the song, voices, and a few things I wish I could not.”
“I am sorry about the bad things. Sometimes I wish I would not be able to remember those either.” She trailed of a moment both consumed in thoughts of those things that they wish that could be forgotten. “Isabella.”
“Yes?”
“I know you said that you could not tell me, but please, I am no one just a hysteric in an asylum, can you not just tell me? I think I would die of curiosity if you did not.”
“You are not no one Alice you are positively the loveliest person I met and very understand even to me, someone who had intent to kill you.”
“Thank you but still I feel as though I am nobody.”
“Do not because I know you are somebody.”
Alice smiled at this looking up to where she heard the musical voice trying to see in the impossible darkness. Slowly the smile faded into a frown, which Isabella was able to see. “What is wrong?”
“Can you still not inform me as to what you are, Isabella?”
“I, Alice, am what many would call a vampire.” Silence. It is what Isabella was met with in return. The only sound was the steady beating of Alice’s heart and her slow breathing. After several moments of silence Isabella lost her patience and broke it. “Do I frighten you?”
“You should, but no I am unafraid of you however foolish of me that may be.”
“Perhaps it is foolish, but I can not say that I am not fond of the fact that you are unafraid of me.”
“For that I am glad, but I do wish you would change you dietary ways for that does make me a bit uneasy.”
“I can not say I will, but I can certainly think on it.” Isabella shocked even herself when she answered the way she did.
“Well then, that is all I can truly hope for. Would it be terribly rude of me to ask you to tell me about your kind?” Alice looked a bit bashful asking the question, but Isabella seen no harm in it.
“Not at all, I am a predator, the ultimate predator really. Not much can kill my kind: fire, another vampire, and dead blood. I am impeccably hard, fast, and stealthy. I do not require things that humans do because my body is deceased. Consequently, I have no heart beat. My eyes are scarlet red, the same as the blood I drink, but they do change color for various reasons.”
“Do…do all vampires have red eyes?” Alice’s voice was soft, but Isabella could still hear the slight trembling in it.
“Well the ones that feed from humans yes, but there is the golden eyed vampire, Mister Cullen to take into account.”
“I see.” Her voice was just a small squeak. She once again pulled her knees closer to her body wrapping her arms around them as her body grew stiff with fear.
“Is there something wrong Mary Alice?”
Alice opened her mouth to speak, but before she could utter a word Isabella tensed up a low growl rumbled in her chest before she was quick to suppress it. Alice having heard the growl grew quiet squeezing her eyes shut and clutching her knees closer to her body. Isabella had detected a vampire coming close to the building and from the smell of fresh blood she was able to figure that they had just fed.
“I will not hurt you Alice; there is one of my kind coming this way.”
Alice nodded. “The doctors; I always thought it strange, their eye color, but wrote it off as just the horrid lighting in this building. There is one more Isabella Not just one, but two.”
At this Isabella’s eyes grew wide her mind trying to think rapidly and figure out a way through this but coming up with nothing. She was definetly out matched even with her ability. “I will do everything I can to not allow them to hurt you.”
Alice nodded a slight smile on her lips at this before her eyes got the glazed far away look once again. A growl from a few yards behind her interrupted her curious stares at the seer. She turned taking in the vampire as she gracefully dropped down from the ledge.
He stood tall at six feet his dark hair messy from his run. His arms were well defined with a broad chest. The short sleeved shirt revealed a few scares on his arms; showing off his ability to fight: and win. Isabella felt her walls body go into protective mode looking at her opponent and preparing for whatever came.
“What are you doing here?” his musical voice did not hold a friendly tone, but rather a demanding authoritive one; letting her know that he often got what he wanted. She could feel a slight tingling sensation on her mind that caused her to tilt her head looking at them man.
Deciding not to upset her foe too much she answered him semi-honestly “I followed the scent of a human that appealed to me, it lead me here.”
“Well stay away from the human’s here they are not for the likes of you to feed from.” He sneered at her making a face which caused Isabella’s fist to clench at her sides.
“I did not feed from her; her scent was very unique and I was curious as to the owner of such a scent.” She lied easily.
The man’s eyes narrowed “Tell the truth.”
Again Isabella could feel the sensation concluding that it was this man’s gift to make one do as he said. Deciding she should humor him she went on. “I am.”
The man seemed to relax a bit as he looked at the female in front of him. She was small, he looked at her chest and through the thin shirt she had on down to the tight fitting pants that hugged her curvy hips and shapely legs. She stood at 5’ 3’’ her hair was long and untamed with branches and leaves; from this he knew she was a wanderer. He smirked liking what he seen.
“Come here.” Again Isabella played along and walked closer to the man stopping a foot in front of him as his eyes hungrily traced her chest again making her grit her teeth sickened. He moved forward slightly and breathed in deeply taking in her scent before smiling as he stood up once again. “You smell positively wonderful.”
Tired of the games Isabella focused on the left over sensations attached to her mind and pushed it out “Why do you have this place?” she asked as she pointed behind her to the asylum.
The dark haired man answered immediately. “It is to collect those that show potential giftedness as humans so that we may make and control them as vampires.”
Isabella nodded at the information “For whom are they created?” she asked again pushing out the sensation still on her mind.
“For my mistress and master Violetta.” His answer was once again immediate.
Isabella took in all the information and quickly asked “Why?”
“She wants to rein.” Was all his answer before a blur to her left knocked into her sending her flying through the air where she quickly flipped landing on her feet in a crouch she growled at the cheap shot.
Isabella looked at the woman who stood next to the man; she was only a few inches shorter than he, with beautiful womanly curves and rich black hair that reached her hips.
“Stephan what are you doing!?” she growled at the man standing next to her eyes trained on Isabella.
“My mistress I am sorry; I could not control my own actions, please forgive me.” He bowed his head in a sign of respect to the woman.
“Fine! Just get rid of her! And quickly we will change only the girl the others are false.”
Stephan nodded before looking at the brown haired woman again. “Come!” he ordered.
Isabella felt the sensation once again tickling her mind and just smirked as she stood still looking at the man. Stephan’s brows furrowed in frustration as the woman defied him; his eyes instantly darkening at the lack of respect. He charged.
Seeing him coming Isabella easily dodged the man by jumping over him using his head to spring herself further away as she stopped in front of the woman baring her teeth. “You will leave the girl alone.” Isabella looked at the taller woman eyes blackened at the attacks on her.
The woman showed no fear as she looked down at the woman a smirk lifting the corner of her lips. “Foolish cur; like I would listen to you. She is mine and I will do as I please with every human that I have acquired.”
Isabella let out a fierce snarl her teeth gleaming with venom as the stared barred; quickly she shot out a fist that connected solidly with the woman’s face sending her flying back a loud crashing sound resulting form their marble-like skin connecting. Violetta flipped easily landing on her feet hissing as the cracks resulting from the blow began to slowly heal. Not paying attention to her side Stephan was able to get tackle Isabella getting a firm hold on the smaller woman’s arms as she thrashed about.
Violetta looked at the woman struggling in her minions arms; still feeling the slow healing of cracks on her faces she barred her teeth at the woman. “For that you will pay.” She hissed out scathingly looking at the woman still struggling within the larger man’s arms.
A cruel smile touched her lips as an idea came to mind quickly she blurred before coming back a struggling Alice held in her arms. “Please, Ma’am do not hurt me.” Alice had tears flowing from her eyes as she struggled feebly in her captures arms.
“Let her go!” Isabella roared loudly causing Alice’s eyes to snap to her only to widen at seeing the woman held captive in the large man’s arms.
“Or what? There is nothing you can do girl.” Violetta said in a cruel voice looking down at the fragile human in her arms smiling to show her elongated k-nines making Alice whimper.
Isabella let out a warning glare looking at the woman holding Alice in her arms she struggled harder trying to get away. Violetta smiled cruelly at the struggling woman. “Your struggling is useless, but it amuses me how much you are willing to risk for a mere human” she sneered at the small woman in her arms, “but since you are so hell bent on protecting her you will get to watch as I destroy her humanity.” Leaning down Violetta moved closer to Alice, she shrunk back into the taller woman’s arms trying to get away from what would surely be her death.
Violetta sniffed the fragrant human’s neck taking in the delicious scent of fresh blood; her mouth pooling with anticipation as she slowly brought her teeth down. Isabella upon seeing Violetta’s teeth slowly making their decent on Alice’s neck got a burst of energy struggling endlessly in her captures arms. As a shriek of agony filled the air Isabella yelled out for the human. “Alice!”
She kept kicking the man and struggling trying to get out of his hold, but he held firm. “Stop moving!” he finally bellowed at the woman and Isabella smiled as the sensation once again touched her mind.
“Let me go!” she ordered pushing that sensation back, running full speed at the raven haired woman moaning with delight from drinking the warm liquid pooling into her mouth. She slammed into the woman knocking her away from the petite girl her frame slumping to the ground before it began to writhe in agony a moment later due to the venom coursing through her veins.
Infuriated at the sight Isabella charged the woman throwing pushes and kicks all over the woman’s upper body before getting kicked away by a blow against the chest. As soon as she landed Isabella was again charging for the woman. Tackling her to the ground Isabella used the opportunity to throw strikes at the beautifully flawless face below her while one of her hands moved to enclose around Violetta’s neck constricting painfully causing several web cracks to appear.
Fear flashed in the taller woman’s eyes her nails digging in the arm around her neck painfully as she bucked under the woman’s assault. Soon the woman was off of her as Stephan tackled her away from his mistress. The two tumbled struggling to gain the upper hand; eventually Isabella came out victorious kneeing him solidly in the groin. Quickly she was up and heading for the black haired woman once again. Eyes pitch-black and furious, Isabella snarled at the woman who stood cracks on her face and neck still healing slowly.
Isabella lunged, but Violetta side stepped out of the way. Landing a kick on the shorter woman’s back sending her tumbling on the ground 20 yards. “Whip her memory!” she yelled out to Stephan before Isabella was once again in front of her this time she lunging anticipating the side step and threw out her leg connecting with the woman’s abdomen a loud crashing noise reverberated the air as she rocketed away.
“Forget!” she heard Stephan command as she sped towards the woman only to look over her shoulder to see the man touching the woman’s temples. Growling she changed her course charging the man, catching him off-guard she kicked him powerfully sending him 50 yards and into a tree cracking the enormous plant.
She kneeled down caressing the burning faces “Alice” she whispered softly to the woman. Hearing hurried footfalls behind her she quickly turned only to see Violetta rushing towards her most of the cracks along her skin healed, but one on her neck and face.
Isabella jumped up quickly meeting the woman in a clash the sound loud. Isabella threw a punch at her face only to have it be caught and her arm twisted. Hissing Isabella head butted the woman in the face causing several small cracks to appear on both her own face and Violetta’s.
The taller woman growled angrily kicking the woman’s in the abdomen causing her to fly back. Isabella caught her self landing lightly on her feet as the other woman charged her. Again the met each other head on snarling loudly at each other Isabella bit down on the woman’s shoulder a loud hiss of pain making its way through the woman’s lips before Isabella was thrown from the woman making her smack into a tree which feel due to the force of the impact.
She snarled as the man came into view “Stop all this!” His voice once again demanding causing her to smirk at the sensations she received once more.
She pushed them out as strongly as she could “Stop attacking me.” Was all she said before she ran at the woman again tackling her to the forest floor. She threw punches as fast as her body would allow pounding the woman’s face into the floor cracks appearing everywhere. Her nails slashed at the skin digging deep gouges in her marble skin as the woman squirmed below her trying to fight, but unable to move. Finally she stopped, the cracks slowly beginning to heal she grabs the woman’s neck digging her nails into it deeply.
Violetta’s eyes widened fear consumed her. Quickly she dug her nails into the woman above hers face; panic taking over as the squeezing did not stop she lashed out scratching and struggling digging her nails into the forearms of her foe. She let out a straggled scream. With a sickening tearing noise, her head was off.
A large pained cry could be heard to her right, she looked over to see Stephan there on his knees anger soon replaced his grief stricken face as he lunged quickly she threw the woman’s head as far as she could.
The two vampires tumbled along both gaining and loosing the upper hand many times before Stephan made the mistake of using his gift. He stood still as Isabella tore his head away from the rest of his body. She held it by its hair walking back the way they had stumbled following their path of destruction back until she came upon the body of Violetta she threw the males head down retrieve the pack of matches that she always carried from her pocket lighting them up. As the purple smoke rose she flitted away back to the small woman that she failed to protect.
Reaching the scene she panicked no where in sight was the woman. She sniffed looking at the spot for her, but finding only an old scent of the human’s blood. She looked up to the sky realizing that it was now a full moon. A week, she had fought a weak. She shook her head sadly as she sat down her heart constricted and longed to see the small fragile girl that showed such caring for her once again. Her eyes burned with unwanted pain; the small girl was one of the first to show her real niceness since her arrival in the states over 100 years ago. Her throat began to throb with hunger. She looked over her shoulder at the town, but quickly ran into the forest tackling and feeding from a large buck.
“One day I will be reunited with you Alice I am so sorry for not being able to protect you.” She spoke above her meal as she looked up at the moon before smelling another animal and rushing off towards it.

I think this is just going to be a one-shot am not sure unless I get begged or something. Lol
YEAR 1901
She moved through the town swiftly trying not to make herself known she kept her eyes lowered and she listened intently to the mulling of the humans around her. Typically she loved smaller towns, but it was particularly sunny this day and so she had to cast herself along shadows and empty alleyways to not draw attention to her glowing skin.
She turned into another empty alley her destination to get out of the town as quickly as possible set into her mind and a small smile reached her lips as she neared closer to the outskirts of the township. The smells in the alley hit her senses hard making her grimace. The harsh smells of urine and garbage were pungent in this area making her grimace. Her first instinct was to stop breathing entirely but her heavy reliance on her sense of smell lead her to continue breathing.
Ruby eyes flashed up to take a quick scan of the surrounding area and were relieved to find the entire alleyway empty and quickly flashed through the dreaded smell. She continued on her trek at a leisurely pace taking in the small amount of sights that she was able to. To her left she hears the murmurings and laughing of men and women in what she presumed to be a small seedy bar. Briefly she scans the area seeing that there is indeed a bar with a few unclean ladies standing out front resting against the wall of the establishment as some men move into the entrance or step out to talk with them.
It always fascinated her that in her many years humans all tend to act the same and do the same things. Everything seem to always repeat itself the same events occurring, countless times just different faces doing them over the many years. The ever present burn in her throat intensifies at the sounds of the many heartbeats of the humans reminding her that she needs to move on. Looking at the humans once again she pays them one last glance scrunching her nose, but does not judge or linger to look on at them and continues on her trek out of this town.
Her pace resumes; heading in the direction of the end of town, she lets her senses guide her away being sure to stay in the shadows absent from the unforgiving sunshine up above. A small smile finds its way upon her face as she can make out the distinct scent of the on coming wilderness and freedom to run and got to the next town.
The pace she was walking at soon quickened her mind focused on the fast approaching aroma of her own sovereignty. The smell of blood soon invaded her senses causing the woman to stop immediately, nostrils flaring the ever present burning erupting into painful flames. Her body took a sharp turn to the right heading north as she followed the sweet and tantalizing scent of blood.
Her body thrummed with anticipation knowing that it would soon get what it so greatly needed. She crouched low listening to the human around the corner stopping when the sound of two heartbeats reached her ears accompanied by a weak whimper. Still in her low crouch she moved quietly and peered around the corner there she was met with the sight of a young female child lying limply on the ground clothes in shambles and a man standing above her adjusting himself and zipping up his downed zipper.
A low rumble started to form in her throat knowing exactly what had occurred brief flashes of fuzzy memories swarmed through her mind causing her grow to become deeper. She was promptly stirred from her reverie by the sound of skin connecting solidly with skin only to look up and see the man lifting his hand to connect with the child again.
Swiftly she was at his side connecting her fist with the man’s cheek solidly resulting in a loud crunching noise coming from the mans brittle bones before he flew smacking loudly into the brick of the building creating a dimple before slumping to the ground limply. Pitch black eyes looked at the man on the ground a continuous rumbling grow emanating from the woman, she traced the hallowed in imprint that her fist left in the man’s cheek. A vicious smile took over her face looking at the damage before stalking forward.
A large roar ripped through her body as she looked at the unmoving man, lifting her leg she slowly brought it down upon his chest. Her monster smiled with glee giddy for getting what it wanted. The foot that she had on the man’s chest slowly started to push down a feral smile showing her elongated k-nines spread across the woman’s mouth at the cracking noise coming from the man’s rib cage giving way.
The sickening squish sound resulting from her foot meeting with the solidity of the cold floor below the man made her snap out of her instinctual haze. She blinked. Quickly her foot was removed and in its rightful place along side her other.
Another blink and she could feel her eyes back to their typical crimson. Her eyes were hard as she looked at the man remember what she had witness in a flash she turned around and was kneeling next to the small human child. She listened hanging her head as no heartbeat could be heard. Another growl left her lips and she stood turning her back to the scene.
She breathed in deeply trying to rein in her emotions. The deep scent of blood filled the entirety of the alleyway, but it did not invoke her hunger, like usual, the smell of blood from the deceased did not cause her throat to burn with want and need. A sigh escaped her lips as she relaxed decided to get out of this town as quickly as she could and feed when the sun had gone down.
Walking out of the alley she turned in the direction that she was previously headed and quickly continued making her way along the shadowed alleyway quickly and easily. Her speed was just barely human as she hurried along keeping her senses open to not get detected or seen. Finally the trees made themselves known not just by smell but by sight also. She couldn’t contain the grin that stretched across her face as she did away with the human facade and ran full speed jumping into a large tree to perch and relax waiting for nightfall.
She sat in a trance like state just thinking her eyes open unseeing as she sat not moving in the slightest. Blurry memories flooded her mind thinking of the little girl in the alley helpless against her abuser. It sickened her, but brought great pain as well as large amounts of anger within her. The fact that she gave into her instincts so easily showed that her control needed work, but she knew this already her anger always seemed to control her. She felt a small wave of accomplishment at the fact that she was able to snap back so quickly, but she felt no remorse; the man deserved what he got, maybe worse.
The change in the temperature let her know that it was now night. She let her eyes look around and see the few lights that light up the outskirts of the town and smiled; this would be easy. Landing gracefully on the ground she took of at inhuman speeds into town wanting to make this quick she jumped landing on the first roof top so she could run and spot her pray from up above.
She stopped quickly at the sound of a heartbeat. Jumping to the next rooftop, she gazed over its edge into the black of the alley to see a man sitting near a garbage can with a glass bottle in his hand. Sniffing the air she immediately came to the conclusion that the man was intoxicated, jumping down she landed soundlessly beside where he sat.
Her throat burned while her mouth flooded with anticipation of receiving the delicious nectar within the man’s plump veins. She squatted down next to him tilting the man’s head to the side to get access to his neck; the man just blinked not really noticing or caring what was happening. She leaned down biting her teeth breaking through the flesh of his neck easily causing the man to let out a moan of pain. Quickly she placed her hand on his mouth, silencing any further sounds from the man as she greedily sucked in his delicious juice.
As the last drops of his blood entered her mouth she let the man drop; she licked her lips hungrily not wanting to waste a single drop. Satisfied that there was no longer any use being in the alley she turned deciding to take a stroll through the darkened outskirts of town. Soon she could see the tree line and the last building surrounded by trees at the woods edge. She took off running to solitude.
As she got close to the large building a divine smell had her stopping in her tracks. Inhaling the intoxicating scent, she could feel herself being pulled to it. Without even noticing she was moving she was now right next to the building a small window in it wafting the smell out. Jumping up she squatted looking through the bared window into a dingy little room. The smell was all over the place her eyes scanned the room until the landed on a fragile looking girl huddled into the corner knees to her chest on a small cot.
Stunning blue eyes were wide open with obvious fear within them and seemed to be looking straight into her eyes. She cocked her head to the side and sniffed purring lowly within her chest at the smell her eyes continued to study the fragile human that was the cause of such an intoxicating aroma.
The girl’s aroma pulled her and although she had just eaten decided that such a divine smell would have to be accompanied by an exceptional taste and knowing that she didn’t plan on staying in this small town any longer would just indulge a little. Just as the thought crossed her mind she noticed the blue eyes get a glazed faraway look before the girl blinked and began to whimper tears glistening in her eyes a look of totally fear consumed the delicate beauty’s face.
Pain constricted her cold body and the overwhelming need to soothe the fragile being took over. Immediately she began to sing something that has always been with her throughout her existence.
“Dancing bears, painted wings,
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings,
Once upon a December
Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory”
She could see the girl begin to relax at this she continued.
“Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory
Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Things it yearns to remember
And a song
Someone sings
Once upon a December”
Her voice stayed quiet and she opened eyes that she had not noticed she closed. The girl looked calm and relaxed a small smile gracing her lips.
“That was beautiful.” the girl whispered, her voice sounding beautiful and light. The words caused a smile to light up her face as she looked down at the fragile girl who now had her legs outstretched in front of her.
“Thank you”
“What are you?” the question surprised her, but she shrugged.
“I’m not allowed to tell you.” she was honest.
“Then, who are you? What is your name?” she thought for a moment; her name was tied to so many hurtful memories, but it was who she was all those memories even the less focused ones made her who she was and she wanted to be truthful.
“Isabella, Isabella Marie Swan” so she was.
The girl smiled “Your name is beautiful.”
“Thank you and your name?” Isabella questioned the fragile looking girl below.
The girl looked down a slight blush appearing on her cheeks, “I’m sorry I must seem terribly rude; my name is Mary Alice...Brandon” another blush colored her cheeks again at almost forgetting to say her full name.
“It is a pleasure to meet you Mary Alice. If I may, why are you here whatever here is?” Isabella had her brows furrowed slightly looking at the building not knowing what it was.
Mary looked away slightly ashamed “This is an asylum and I was put her because my father believes me a hysteric for what I say I see.”
Confused Isabella thought. She wasn’t quite sure she even knew what this asylum thing was, but if her father thought she was a hysteric it must be a place for those considered instable mentally. She nodded accepting her conclusion. “I see. Well what do you see?”
At her question Mary Alice stiffened thinking back to what she had recently seen. “I…I usually see things before they happen.” She stuttered pulling her legs closer to her body.
Isabella watched as the girl closed up again no longer relaxed and opened. “Why usually?”
“I…before you…before you sang I seen you…you killed me.” The last words were whispered, but Isabella heard them clearly.
Instantly the woman felt ashamed knowing that she had definitely planned on doing just that only stopping because of a whimper. “I…I’m sorry” she stumbled over her words for the first time in her long existence “it’s true though, what you saw I was going to do just that, but you were so frightened and I couldn’t see you like that. I will leave if you wish me to.” She bowed her head ashamedly.
“NO, no…please. Do not go. I am so terribly lonely and afraid of the awful darkness.”
“I planned on killing you and you still wish me to stay?”
“I know you probably think me terribly foolish, but yes.”
“Yes?” she questioned a hint of incredulity in her voice.
“I have been here for so long with not a soul to talk to, but those ghastly doctors and you never did hurt me you calmed me when I was frightened, which is more than I can say many have done for me since I have entered this dreadful place so yes I do wish you to stay.”
“As you wish” she smiled for some reason relieved that Mary had wanted her to stay.
“Why?” the girl questioned in a small voice.
Confusion took over Isabella at the questioning. “Why, what Mary Alice?”
“Why were you going to…kill me?” Mary’s voice squeaked at the end of the sentence causing her to clear her throat behind a dainty hand.
“I…”Isabella thought about a way to explain her actions without divulging her true nature; she looked down at Mary taking in her small fragile appearance and thought about the place she was and decided that even if she did let the girl know no one would believe her. “It is my nature the blood that runs through your veins that causes you to live is what I need; I must kill because that blood sustains me just as animals must loose their lives to sustain you, Mary Alice.”
Mary Alice stayed quiet thinking about what she had just heard; she gave her mind a moment to digest everything “is there not another source for your sustenance? Must you feed from humans?”
Isabella thought a moment before answering. “There was talk of the golden eyed man, Carlisle Cullen, which I heard of many a year ago while I was in Italy, again. They say he survives from the blood of animals, but this is just talk I heard.”
“Why do you not choose to change? Surely since there is another way there is no need to kill innocent lives; is there?”
“It was just rumor that I heard never had I once met this so called golden eyed man, but without that I have been around animals and there blood…it does not appeal to me like that of human blood. I have been around for…a long time and in the beginning it was hard to deal with what I had to do, yes but now I accept it because it is something that cannot change. It is in my nature like it is in your nature to fear me. Never have I had a reason to change so why change?”
“So you choose to be a monster?”
“You believe me a monster?” For some reason the thought of this human thinking that of her made Isabella’s dead heart constrict with pain.
“You kill when there is another way; do you not think that, that gives me sufficient reason to think that of you? Or any other?”
“No.” It was quiet a moment as they both stayed in their own thoughts Isabella gripped with hurt at the girl’s truthfulness.
“I am sorry” the words were whispered so quietly that had Isabella not had enhanced hearing she would have not heard it.
“Do not be for you are right. I have a choice and I choose to be this and for that I am truly a monster. I was once going to kill you so there is no reason for you to apologize for being truthful.”
“But still I have no reason to question how you choose to live your life because it is your choice and no others. Although I do have one question: why did you not kill me; if it is something that you do often, then why not kill me too?” Mary had her head tilted to the side in questioning.
A little shocked at the question Isabella thought back to when she had wanted to kill the girl and had heard her whimper; she didn’t really want to talk about something she herself did not understand fully, but feeling compelled to be truthful to this human she answered honestly. “When I heard you whimper and saw you distraught the desire to comfort you was far more substantial than that of my longing for your blood.”
“When you sang to me”
“Yes, when I sang to you.” Isabella gave a nod even though she knew that Mary, with her weak eyesight, would not be able to see her.
“You sing beautifully. I believe I did not tell you before. The song, it was positively magnificent though I do not believe I have ever heard that particular lullaby, what is the name of it?”
“Well thank you for the compliment Mary Alice, but I regrettably must inform you that I do not know the name of the lullaby. It is from a distant memory, one of the few that I can decipher”
“It is quite beautiful. What do you mean one of the few you can decipher? Are you unable to recollect your past? And please I prefer Alice.”
“Okay Alice.” She smiled saying her preferred name, “I, too, believe that it is quite a lovely melody. And sadly it is true I cannot recall much of my human past, just the song, voices, and a few things I wish I could not.”
“I am sorry about the bad things. Sometimes I wish I would not be able to remember those either.” She trailed of a moment both consumed in thoughts of those things that they wish that could be forgotten. “Isabella.”
“Yes?”
“I know you said that you could not tell me, but please, I am no one just a hysteric in an asylum, can you not just tell me? I think I would die of curiosity if you did not.”
“You are not no one Alice you are positively the loveliest person I met and very understand even to me, someone who had intent to kill you.”
“Thank you but still I feel as though I am nobody.”
“Do not because I know you are somebody.”
Alice smiled at this looking up to where she heard the musical voice trying to see in the impossible darkness. Slowly the smile faded into a frown, which Isabella was able to see. “What is wrong?”
“Can you still not inform me as to what you are, Isabella?”
“I, Alice, am what many would call a vampire.” Silence. It is what Isabella was met with in return. The only sound was the steady beating of Alice’s heart and her slow breathing. After several moments of silence Isabella lost her patience and broke it. “Do I frighten you?”
“You should, but no I am unafraid of you however foolish of me that may be.”
“Perhaps it is foolish, but I can not say that I am not fond of the fact that you are unafraid of me.”
“For that I am glad, but I do wish you would change you dietary ways for that does make me a bit uneasy.”
“I can not say I will, but I can certainly think on it.” Isabella shocked even herself when she answered the way she did.
“Well then, that is all I can truly hope for. Would it be terribly rude of me to ask you to tell me about your kind?” Alice looked a bit bashful asking the question, but Isabella seen no harm in it.
“Not at all, I am a predator, the ultimate predator really. Not much can kill my kind: fire, another vampire, and dead blood. I am impeccably hard, fast, and stealthy. I do not require things that humans do because my body is deceased. Consequently, I have no heart beat. My eyes are scarlet red, the same as the blood I drink, but they do change color for various reasons.”
“Do…do all vampires have red eyes?” Alice’s voice was soft, but Isabella could still hear the slight trembling in it.
“Well the ones that feed from humans yes, but there is the golden eyed vampire, Mister Cullen to take into account.”
“I see.” Her voice was just a small squeak. She once again pulled her knees closer to her body wrapping her arms around them as her body grew stiff with fear.
“Is there something wrong Mary Alice?”
Alice opened her mouth to speak, but before she could utter a word Isabella tensed up a low growl rumbled in her chest before she was quick to suppress it. Alice having heard the growl grew quiet squeezing her eyes shut and clutching her knees closer to her body. Isabella had detected a vampire coming close to the building and from the smell of fresh blood she was able to figure that they had just fed.
“I will not hurt you Alice; there is one of my kind coming this way.”
Alice nodded. “The doctors; I always thought it strange, their eye color, but wrote it off as just the horrid lighting in this building. There is one more Isabella Not just one, but two.”
At this Isabella’s eyes grew wide her mind trying to think rapidly and figure out a way through this but coming up with nothing. She was definetly out matched even with her ability. “I will do everything I can to not allow them to hurt you.”
Alice nodded a slight smile on her lips at this before her eyes got the glazed far away look once again. A growl from a few yards behind her interrupted her curious stares at the seer. She turned taking in the vampire as she gracefully dropped down from the ledge.
He stood tall at six feet his dark hair messy from his run. His arms were well defined with a broad chest. The short sleeved shirt revealed a few scares on his arms; showing off his ability to fight: and win. Isabella felt her walls body go into protective mode looking at her opponent and preparing for whatever came.
“What are you doing here?” his musical voice did not hold a friendly tone, but rather a demanding authoritive one; letting her know that he often got what he wanted. She could feel a slight tingling sensation on her mind that caused her to tilt her head looking at them man.
Deciding not to upset her foe too much she answered him semi-honestly “I followed the scent of a human that appealed to me, it lead me here.”
“Well stay away from the human’s here they are not for the likes of you to feed from.” He sneered at her making a face which caused Isabella’s fist to clench at her sides.
“I did not feed from her; her scent was very unique and I was curious as to the owner of such a scent.” She lied easily.
The man’s eyes narrowed “Tell the truth.”
Again Isabella could feel the sensation concluding that it was this man’s gift to make one do as he said. Deciding she should humor him she went on. “I am.”
The man seemed to relax a bit as he looked at the female in front of him. She was small, he looked at her chest and through the thin shirt she had on down to the tight fitting pants that hugged her curvy hips and shapely legs. She stood at 5’ 3’’ her hair was long and untamed with branches and leaves; from this he knew she was a wanderer. He smirked liking what he seen.
“Come here.” Again Isabella played along and walked closer to the man stopping a foot in front of him as his eyes hungrily traced her chest again making her grit her teeth sickened. He moved forward slightly and breathed in deeply taking in her scent before smiling as he stood up once again. “You smell positively wonderful.”
Tired of the games Isabella focused on the left over sensations attached to her mind and pushed it out “Why do you have this place?” she asked as she pointed behind her to the asylum.
The dark haired man answered immediately. “It is to collect those that show potential giftedness as humans so that we may make and control them as vampires.”
Isabella nodded at the information “For whom are they created?” she asked again pushing out the sensation still on her mind.
“For my mistress and master Violetta.” His answer was once again immediate.
Isabella took in all the information and quickly asked “Why?”
“She wants to rein.” Was all his answer before a blur to her left knocked into her sending her flying through the air where she quickly flipped landing on her feet in a crouch she growled at the cheap shot.
Isabella looked at the woman who stood next to the man; she was only a few inches shorter than he, with beautiful womanly curves and rich black hair that reached her hips.
“Stephan what are you doing!?” she growled at the man standing next to her eyes trained on Isabella.
“My mistress I am sorry; I could not control my own actions, please forgive me.” He bowed his head in a sign of respect to the woman.
“Fine! Just get rid of her! And quickly we will change only the girl the others are false.”
Stephan nodded before looking at the brown haired woman again. “Come!” he ordered.
Isabella felt the sensation once again tickling her mind and just smirked as she stood still looking at the man. Stephan’s brows furrowed in frustration as the woman defied him; his eyes instantly darkening at the lack of respect. He charged.
Seeing him coming Isabella easily dodged the man by jumping over him using his head to spring herself further away as she stopped in front of the woman baring her teeth. “You will leave the girl alone.” Isabella looked at the taller woman eyes blackened at the attacks on her.
The woman showed no fear as she looked down at the woman a smirk lifting the corner of her lips. “Foolish cur; like I would listen to you. She is mine and I will do as I please with every human that I have acquired.”
Isabella let out a fierce snarl her teeth gleaming with venom as the stared barred; quickly she shot out a fist that connected solidly with the woman’s face sending her flying back a loud crashing sound resulting form their marble-like skin connecting. Violetta flipped easily landing on her feet hissing as the cracks resulting from the blow began to slowly heal. Not paying attention to her side Stephan was able to get tackle Isabella getting a firm hold on the smaller woman’s arms as she thrashed about.
Violetta looked at the woman struggling in her minions arms; still feeling the slow healing of cracks on her faces she barred her teeth at the woman. “For that you will pay.” She hissed out scathingly looking at the woman still struggling within the larger man’s arms.
A cruel smile touched her lips as an idea came to mind quickly she blurred before coming back a struggling Alice held in her arms. “Please, Ma’am do not hurt me.” Alice had tears flowing from her eyes as she struggled feebly in her captures arms.
“Let her go!” Isabella roared loudly causing Alice’s eyes to snap to her only to widen at seeing the woman held captive in the large man’s arms.
“Or what? There is nothing you can do girl.” Violetta said in a cruel voice looking down at the fragile human in her arms smiling to show her elongated k-nines making Alice whimper.
Isabella let out a warning glare looking at the woman holding Alice in her arms she struggled harder trying to get away. Violetta smiled cruelly at the struggling woman. “Your struggling is useless, but it amuses me how much you are willing to risk for a mere human” she sneered at the small woman in her arms, “but since you are so hell bent on protecting her you will get to watch as I destroy her humanity.” Leaning down Violetta moved closer to Alice, she shrunk back into the taller woman’s arms trying to get away from what would surely be her death.
Violetta sniffed the fragrant human’s neck taking in the delicious scent of fresh blood; her mouth pooling with anticipation as she slowly brought her teeth down. Isabella upon seeing Violetta’s teeth slowly making their decent on Alice’s neck got a burst of energy struggling endlessly in her captures arms. As a shriek of agony filled the air Isabella yelled out for the human. “Alice!”
She kept kicking the man and struggling trying to get out of his hold, but he held firm. “Stop moving!” he finally bellowed at the woman and Isabella smiled as the sensation once again touched her mind.
“Let me go!” she ordered pushing that sensation back, running full speed at the raven haired woman moaning with delight from drinking the warm liquid pooling into her mouth. She slammed into the woman knocking her away from the petite girl her frame slumping to the ground before it began to writhe in agony a moment later due to the venom coursing through her veins.
Infuriated at the sight Isabella charged the woman throwing pushes and kicks all over the woman’s upper body before getting kicked away by a blow against the chest. As soon as she landed Isabella was again charging for the woman. Tackling her to the ground Isabella used the opportunity to throw strikes at the beautifully flawless face below her while one of her hands moved to enclose around Violetta’s neck constricting painfully causing several web cracks to appear.
Fear flashed in the taller woman’s eyes her nails digging in the arm around her neck painfully as she bucked under the woman’s assault. Soon the woman was off of her as Stephan tackled her away from his mistress. The two tumbled struggling to gain the upper hand; eventually Isabella came out victorious kneeing him solidly in the groin. Quickly she was up and heading for the black haired woman once again. Eyes pitch-black and furious, Isabella snarled at the woman who stood cracks on her face and neck still healing slowly.
Isabella lunged, but Violetta side stepped out of the way. Landing a kick on the shorter woman’s back sending her tumbling on the ground 20 yards. “Whip her memory!” she yelled out to Stephan before Isabella was once again in front of her this time she lunging anticipating the side step and threw out her leg connecting with the woman’s abdomen a loud crashing noise reverberated the air as she rocketed away.
“Forget!” she heard Stephan command as she sped towards the woman only to look over her shoulder to see the man touching the woman’s temples. Growling she changed her course charging the man, catching him off-guard she kicked him powerfully sending him 50 yards and into a tree cracking the enormous plant.
She kneeled down caressing the burning faces “Alice” she whispered softly to the woman. Hearing hurried footfalls behind her she quickly turned only to see Violetta rushing towards her most of the cracks along her skin healed, but one on her neck and face.
Isabella jumped up quickly meeting the woman in a clash the sound loud. Isabella threw a punch at her face only to have it be caught and her arm twisted. Hissing Isabella head butted the woman in the face causing several small cracks to appear on both her own face and Violetta’s.
The taller woman growled angrily kicking the woman’s in the abdomen causing her to fly back. Isabella caught her self landing lightly on her feet as the other woman charged her. Again the met each other head on snarling loudly at each other Isabella bit down on the woman’s shoulder a loud hiss of pain making its way through the woman’s lips before Isabella was thrown from the woman making her smack into a tree which feel due to the force of the impact.
She snarled as the man came into view “Stop all this!” His voice once again demanding causing her to smirk at the sensations she received once more.
She pushed them out as strongly as she could “Stop attacking me.” Was all she said before she ran at the woman again tackling her to the forest floor. She threw punches as fast as her body would allow pounding the woman’s face into the floor cracks appearing everywhere. Her nails slashed at the skin digging deep gouges in her marble skin as the woman squirmed below her trying to fight, but unable to move. Finally she stopped, the cracks slowly beginning to heal she grabs the woman’s neck digging her nails into it deeply.
Violetta’s eyes widened fear consumed her. Quickly she dug her nails into the woman above hers face; panic taking over as the squeezing did not stop she lashed out scratching and struggling digging her nails into the forearms of her foe. She let out a straggled scream. With a sickening tearing noise, her head was off.
A large pained cry could be heard to her right, she looked over to see Stephan there on his knees anger soon replaced his grief stricken face as he lunged quickly she threw the woman’s head as far as she could.
The two vampires tumbled along both gaining and loosing the upper hand many times before Stephan made the mistake of using his gift. He stood still as Isabella tore his head away from the rest of his body. She held it by its hair walking back the way they had stumbled following their path of destruction back until she came upon the body of Violetta she threw the males head down retrieve the pack of matches that she always carried from her pocket lighting them up. As the purple smoke rose she flitted away back to the small woman that she failed to protect.
Reaching the scene she panicked no where in sight was the woman. She sniffed looking at the spot for her, but finding only an old scent of the human’s blood. She looked up to the sky realizing that it was now a full moon. A week, she had fought a weak. She shook her head sadly as she sat down her heart constricted and longed to see the small fragile girl that showed such caring for her once again. Her eyes burned with unwanted pain; the small girl was one of the first to show her real niceness since her arrival in the states over 100 years ago. Her throat began to throb with hunger. She looked over her shoulder at the town, but quickly ran into the forest tackling and feeding from a large buck.
“One day I will be reunited with you Alice I am so sorry for not being able to protect you.” She spoke above her meal as she looked up at the moon before smelling another animal and rushing off towards it.
