Sanguine Vengeance

Chapter One: Let the Games Begin

Victoria looked at the girl from outside a window. At first, the redhead just wanted to destroy and ravage the girl for being an accessory in destroying her mate, but just after seeing the girl again, it all just withered away.

Victoria was actually at a loss, her plans to kill and drain the girl had just dried up. Several days of watching the girl wallow in sadness and stare blankly at the television had actually made her feel some amount of pity for the girl.

In a way, both of them lost a mate, but here Victoria was, not really sad or angered by the fact that James was dead anymore. But the girl? There she was just staring blankly at the screen, as if her whole soul had been sucked away. Shouldn't that have been how she was supposed to feel from losing her mate? Instead she was more interested in figuring out what to do with the girl.

What is she watching?

Victoria peered through the window, trying to watch whatever the girl was watching.

A doll? How ugly.

It had been a couple of decades since Victoria actually watched something on a television, but while Isabella was staring blankly at the screen, Victoria was eating it all up as it slowly sparked her interest.

A grin broke across the redhead's face, revealing two sharp fangs. The random show on the television had just given her an idea of what to do with the girl. Killing her outright just seemed so... dull.

Victoria did feel pity for the girl, but she wasn't just going to let the girl get off scot-free.

Preparations are in order.

It had taken a few months of careful stalking and planning, but soon everything would come to fruition. The stage is set, the actors are chosen and all that's left is to watch the production unfold.

The Cullens, the only complication, left on their own will just before Victoria had arrived. Victoria had heard the rumors as well as the truth straight from Isabella's wails during the first few weeks of the bunny munchers departure. Apparently, the idiotic mind reader couldn't bear to bring the little brunette into the vampire world and decided she would be safer all alone in Forks.

Too bad his hopes were all in vain.

Victoria would grant one boon to the Cullens though, she would keep Isabella safe, well, until her whole plan was completed, then it would be up to the fates and the gods to decide what would happen. Her gift wasn't like the midget vampire that could see glimpses of possible futures, so she was a bit blind there, but she was sure it would at least be interesting.

One problem arose when Isabella decided to hang out with the steroid-infested boys of La Push, that almost derailed her plans so many times! The girl that normally spent her time wailing and sobbing in her room began to enact crazy stunts like riding those infernal motorbikes and jumping off cliffs.

It didn't help when Victoria found out that for the disgusting scent that was wafting off of the borders of La Push came from the steroid infested boys themselves. The steroid monstrosities were actually furry steroid monstrosities. Victoria had seen the whole thing first hand when she was trying to get more information on the boy and witnessed the boy just randomly turn into an abomination with four legs. The redhead was actually planning on using the boy named Jacob in her plan, but being a flea-infested dog killed that idea.

No way I am touching that.

The furry problem had stalled her plans a bit, but it solved itself when the infatuated boy decided to stop seeing Isabella, possibly due to his recent change.

The time had come to finally enact her plan.

Victoria didn't really know why she was so excited and looking forward to this. The knowledge on vampire mating she had gathered from different sources over the years were clear on one note, 'Vampires cannot survive for long without their mates.'

Either the information was truly wrong, or she and James weren't mates at all. Victoria decided to just ignore it, James was dead and she was feeling fine.

Better than fine. She licked her lips, thinking of the multitude of possibilities she could do with the human.

Victoria still thought about revenge against the whole Cullen clan for taking James away, but the desire to have revenge just wasn't strong enough for her to pursue it, for now anyway.

Isabella, however, was a whole different story. Victoria still didn't know why she was so fixated on the brunette. There was just something about her...

...but, it didn't matter.

It's time.

It was the night just after the boy, Jacob, told Isabella to stop hanging out with him. The eyes of Isabella when she reached home seemed to be back to being the blank stare that she had when the Cullens had left.

Victoria leapt onto the branch just outside Isabella's window. The window wasn't even locked. The girl probably wished for a Cullen vampire to come back for her, well, she'll at least get a vampire.

The redhead stepped inside and moved towards the sleeping form of the brunette while taking a vial out of her pocket as well as a piece of cloth. Victoria took a closer glance at the girl, she really was beautiful in a flawed sort of way. Victoria slowly got on the bed, straddling the girl. She leaned in and gave the girl a small peck on the forehead.

Victoria smiled as the girl's eyes slowly fluttered and opened. The blank stare the girl normally wore in these past few months quickly faded into terror as she saw who was on her bed. The girl was almost as pale as a vampire now.

Bella tried to scream and bolt from the bed, but her mouth was quickly smothered by a piece of cloth. She tried to move from her bed, but the redhead was unmovable. Bella could feel her consciousness waver as she realized that the cloth had some chloroform. It seemed as if the vampire wasn't just going to rip her neck out. Bella heard one last thing before peaceful unconsciousness took her.

"Hello Isabella, I want to play a game."

AN: This is going to be Bella/Victoria obviously. The theme will be dark, well, darker than my other stories at least. It'll be dark enough that I labelled it with the Horror tag.

The show that Bella was staring at blankly and Victoria witnessed was obviously Saw. The quote 'I want to play a game.' directly from Jigsaw.

Decision: This is a three-shot short story(Well, so far). I actually had this story and Abductor's Torment's first chapter up at the same time, but eventually I had to decide which I would make a multi-length story and choice Abductor's Torment. (That was the original plan anyway~)
