Summery: I watched as the strange yellow eyes shifted. This was not what I expected. Hell, I was not even supposed to be here now, I had simply come to make sure Bree made it out alive. She was convinced Diego was alive but I knew otherwise. I shifted forward myself as Jasper made a move towards my young charge. I had brought her into this and I'd be damned if I let Jasper kill her, even if he was a piece of my missing past, of my former family.

Bella Swan was left by her only love and his family but it was in vain. It wasn't a month latter she was found by Riley and her destiny changed. Though she barely remembers the details of her past, she does know she is being used to kill some yellow eyes, that they know who she is, and that her creator has a revenge skem that includes her and a family which she tries to keep close to her mind.

Newborn

Chapter 1: Blood

BPOV:

I sighed, the newspaper headline glared at me from the machine with a venom like potency. SEATTLE UNDER SEIGE – DEATH TOLL RISES AGAIN! Great, this was just what I needed. As it was I had to put up with the other newborns, not that I wasn't like them myself but I at least had some brain cells left. I wondered what the hell had happened to some of theirs, at least I noticed some seemed to have retained the ability to think. I looked to my left, and a bit behind me and noticed one of those few with brains left had noticed the same paper, a new one, the newsboy must had just stocked it. It was good for him he wasn't near, nothing put a damper on life then ravenous newborn vampires. I chuckled darkly, noticing Bree – I believe this was her name – looking to me with a skittish glance and a bit of wounder. I had noticed this one before, hell I had been there when she was turned, I had pointed her out to Riley.

Riley. He was another problem, he was going to go nuclear when he saw this one. The whole point was to stay as inconspicuous as possible, not to alert the yellow eyes. Keep the babies uneducated about real vampires, I felt bad, this was my fault to a degree and I allowed it to continue. I did not exactly know why this was my fault, I could hardly remember my own middle name from being human but I knew if I had never come to Forks most of these newborns – even the stupid ones – would still be alive. Looking to Kevin and some blond kid, who I just called Parker because of his spider-man obsession, I rolled my red eyes and rethought that statement. Ok, so most would still be alive, I did not understand why Riley turned those two, they were the most useless vampires in existence and looking to the shadows were Bree observed I knew she agreed with me.

I silently cursed Riley for sending me out with this group tonight, so Bree and Diego were not to bad, at least I knew they had brains, but the other two...cats were smarter then them. I heard Bree sigh, but did nothing but stare at the imbeciles which I was going to end if they did not stop arguing between each other and let us get to hunting. I hated hunting, some part of me felt guilty for it, I did not quiet understand. Riley and our creator had said it was the only way, but not even I had met the creator. I think I knew her, something told me I did but I was lucky I remembered as much as I did. I saw Diego take a glance at Bree and smirked, I was shield, nothing really special but I did not need a power of emotions to see something spark between those two. I did not know what I would lead too but I thought It was cute, at least part of me did the other part simply rolled her eyes and huffed.

"Spider-man is such a whiny looser," Kevin called to the Parker. "I'll show you how a real super-hero hunts." He grinned wide. His teeth flashed in the light and he jumped in front of a car which swung around to illuminate the cracked pavement with a blue-white gleam. Kevin flexed his arms back, then pulled them slowly together like a pro wrestler showing off, the car came on probably expecting the idiot to move, like he should, like I was about to make him do. I didn't though, part of me wished to see his stupid antics so I could latter see him get his arm ripped off. I smiled sadistically, I did enjoy seeing him or any of Raoul's gang get their limbs torn off.

"Hulk mad!" Kevin bellowed. "Hulk...SMASH!" He leaped forward to meet the car and before it could break, grabbed its front bumper and flipped it over his head. It struck pavement upside down, I grimaced but did not move otherwise. Inside a woman screamed, I sighed, this was going to get ugly.

"Oh man," Diego said, shaking his head. I agreed and I nodded. "Kevin, we're supposed to be laying low. Riley said -"

"Riley said!" Kevin mimicked in a harsh soprano which sounded gay on him. "Grow a spine Diego. Riley's not here."

"Hmm...I'll be sure to remember that as Riley tares out your spine," I spoke, crossing my arms and glaring, daring the idiot to speak back to me. I was Riley's favorite beside Diego, but I was not very fond of Riley myself. I would rather have all my memories and a nice human life. Though I figured if I was still human I'd be wallowing in depression because of Edward leaving me still. I wondered what he'd think of me now, a monster, just like him. I saw Bree look to me with wide eyes, like she had never heard me speak before, but then again I don't think she has. Kevin and Parker neither paid much attention to me, Kevin simply snorted and waved me off before jumping over the upside-down Honda and punched out the driver side window, which was somehow still intact. I took a breath and stopped breathing as Kevin wretched the woman out of the car, kicking and screaming. I saw Bree turn her back, I did not blame her, she'd have enough trouble keeping her blood lust under control. Hell, even I had troubles, but then again I was only a little over eight months old, Diego was a bit older then me, by about three or four months and Bree I believe was only three months old. I smirked, she was pretty smart and controlled for a three monther. I turned my attention back to the two idiots as I heard a wet taring sound and then a louder sound, I smelt the blood slightly but kept my cool as I blanched at the sighed of the woman have been torn in half, right down the middle. Kevin had one side, the left I believe and was sucking what blood he could get and Parker held the other – though most the blood was simply gushing out of her and onto the ground.

I growled and turned following after Diego and Bree whom both had took off across the roof tops. It did not take me long to catch up and soon enough I was jumping beside Bree. I took the time to look her over, her hair was dark, around my color only pure brown, no red was in it and it was wavy and at least waist length. She was young, much younger then myself – I think I was either 18 or 19 when turned. I couldn't keep the burning from my throat any longer as I begin breathing again and I noticed Diego was muttering to himself. I smirked, he was right of course, Riley had given us instructions for a reason and I had a feeling it had to do with the Volturi people Edward had mentioned once before. I did not really remember who they were just that they made the mafia look like kittens.

"Hey," Bree called. "Are we going to hunt anytime soon? My throat is on fire here." We landed on a large factory roof, though we all kept a distance between us. Bree the farthest from us but she was the youngest, not only physically but in terms of vampire years. I smiled, looking around.

"Of course," I muttered. Diego smiled at me slightly, it could almost be passed off as gas if he was a baby.

"Yeah," He began. "I just wanted to get some distance between me and the lunatics." He smiled at her, all friendly and I rolled my eyes. It was almost painfully obvious Diego had a crush on the young vampire. I looked up into the night sky as I listened to Bree breath in and out with unneeded breath. It seemed she was just as shocked that he could be so..calm.

"Hey, your Bree right?" Diego asked. I looked to the two and raised a eyebrow. I listened to them banter and then cleared my throat. Diego looked at me with a sheepish expression.

"Sorry, Bree this is Bella. Hmmm...Bella and Bree, Bree and Bella. Maybe your related!" Diego declared. I looked to him with a blank expression that showed my displeasure. Bree looked confused and shocked.

"I doubt it, Diego. Hello, Bree I think we've met before." I spoke, running a hand through my mahogany hair. Bree looked me over and then her eyes widened and she nodded.

"I remember," Bree said, it was all she said. Diego looked between us and then shook his head.

"Ahh, here we go. Just takes a little patience," Diego whistled. I turned to look where he was and smiled. Four people, a women being pushed around by what I assumed was her pimp, and three other two other women.

"Patience is my middle name," I murmured and Bree looked to Diego.

"Is it really?" she asked. I snorted in laughter. I did not really know what my middle name was, hell I hardly remembered my first upon waking but I knew it was not Patience. I had adopted it as my middle name a month after waking up though. I did not hear what Diego said because I was off the ruff like lightening and had one of the girls pinned to the wall, before she could think of screaming I crushed her wind-pipe a bit and bit into her soft neck. I groaned at the drug laced blood but continued drinking. I could hear Diego and Bree doing the same to two of the conscious ones and I noticed as I let the dead girl go that one of them, most likely Diego had knocked the other out. I silently thought of taking the other for myself but shook my head and looked to Bree, she would need it more then me and I could tell from Diego's mannerisms he agreed. He had finished after me and was staring at the human girl and the to Bree. As Bree finished I smiled as Diego gave the girl to Bree. Bree seemed to be shocked at first but accepted and then greedily dug in.

"Thanks," Bree said, as she finished.

"No problem, I remember how hard it is at first," Diego said. I nodded, I remembered all to well the first three months for me, I rubbed my arm, I had it ripped a few times, as well as a few bites and my left wrist had suffered collateral damage during the first few months as well.

"Does it ever get easier?" she asked.

"In some way," he shrugged back. I sighed, he was right but maybe I could be of some help here.

"Were young still yet Bree. It takes decades to really get control which is impressive. After the first year of two it will get even easier and easier after that. Of course this is if any of us see the end of our first year." I saw Bree blanch and sighed, and picked up two of the bodies.

"We should go dump these in the sound," I muttered and they nodded. It didn't take us long before we had made it to the sound and dived in, swimming for what seemed like miles and it may have been. Soon enough we had stashed our bodies in a place they would never be seen again.

Perfect, Bree mouthed to us and we smiled and nodded before going back to the surface.

"I guess I'm good for a few weeks," Diego said.

"I guess that is the easier part," Bree spoke. I smiled and chuckled, nodding.

"Don't feel to put out, I'll need to feed again in five days maybe less as well." Bree nodded, smiling softly at me, but looked away quickly.

"Don't worry, we'll all come back tomorrow night or the next without Kevin and the other idiot. Riley lets me and Bell do pretty much anything we want," Diego said and I nodded. It was true, I was given pretty much free reign, as long as I helped train the newborns and or pick them out when the time came.

"Cool," Bree said, sending a look at my turned back. I smiled, chuckling.

"Don't worry, I'm not as brainless as Raoul's gang. Hell, Raoul is a baby next to me." I told her and smirked as she gasped.

"How old are you?" she asked, almost hesitantly. I turned to look at her, my red eyes cool, calm and showing little emotion but enough so that she wouldn't be frightened.

"I'm almost nine months old, two months older then Raoul," I answered.

"Why does Riley give you guys both such long leashes?" she asked. I sighed, she was full of questions but I did not blame her. Anyone would be curious.

"He knows he can trust me, to clean up the messes and go without notice," Diego told her. He was very trusting, probably one of his faults. I had noticed the first time we met and I had vowed that if I could I'd make sure he did not put to much trust in one person.

"Speaking of messes, we should head back and clean up Kevin's." I stated, it wasn't a suggestion or guess as to if he had made a mess I knew he had. Diego nodded and turned to Bree.

"You mind running a errand?" he asked and she shook her head. I did not wait for them as I took off over the waterfront and retraced our footsteps, no need to leave any scent trails then necessary. We were back at the alley way in no time and I hissed at the mess in front of me. I saw Diego do the same and shake his head.

"Unbelievable!" he growled. I snorted and took in the massacre. Two more cars had been stacked on top the other and a handful of bystanders had been added to the body-count. It was a good thing cops had not been called or we'd have to deal with them ourselves. I wondered if Alice had seen anything pertaining to this or if she was blissfully unaware what had become of me, her supposed sister. I remembered enough to know this was what we thought of each other before they left, even if our time together was blurred at best.

"Help me sort this out?" Diego asked Bree. I simply stood on the roof as Bree nodded.

"Okay." she responded and then they jumped off the roof together.

"I'll watch for any cops or civilians." I muttered knowing the two would here me. It was a unspoken vow to deal with anyone who would come upon us, I didn't want to deal with a pissed Riley if anyone saw and lived to tell the tale, not to mention the Volturi. Hell, I had no intentions of staying for the battle our creator wished upon us. I didn't wish these yellow eyes harm, even if they had harmed me physically or mentally in the past. I half watched the surrounding streets and half watched Diego and Bree work together like they knew what the other would do before they did it. I thought Alice and Jasper – the two I remembered the most besides Edward – they had moved similarly. If it did not give me proof that those two were mates – even if they did not realize it – then nothing would.

I noticed Diego had taken the cars into a new arrangement, that looked more like a car accident then a idiot baby vampire who had a tantrum because there mother wouldn't let them watch TV. Bree grabbed two lifeless bodies, there throats had been ripped out, the work of a novice vampire with no control, and stuffed them under the site of impact.

"Bad accident." she commended. I laughed out loud at that one. Diego grinned, I could tell he found It funny as well.

"Step back," Diego said. They both did and Diego brought out his lighter, and then Bree brought out hers. I smirked, they had been reissued by Riley to hunt – Kevin and Parker should have used theirs, and not on each other – though eight times out of ten Riley had to confiscate them because the newborns kept using them on each other. I brought mine out as well, it was a high polish zippo lighter with the front of a Ace playing card. On the side of it I had carved the phrase – I wouldn't bet against Alice. It was one of many lighters I owned, but this one was my favorite. I guess you could say I had a lighter fetish, or a fire fetish which ever one you prefer. Flicking the lighter up I jumped down, thanking god for windproof lighters and then as I landed I did not miss a beat and started walking over to a area and helped them light it ablaze. The venom filled dead bodies were fast to ignite and we all jumped back as the blaze rose and rose with intensity.

"Nice lighter, who's Alice?" Bree asked from my side, though she was almost a feet away. I looked at her shocked before blinking and smirking lightly.

"My sister," I said. It wasn't a full lie but it wasn't the full truth either, either way though it was all I would ever tell anyone. It was around this time the explosion happened and shook the streets, lights began going on as we leapt for the roofs.

"Thanks for your help, back to Riley's?" Diego asked. I saw Bree frown and I smirked.

"I think Riley's is the last place Bree wants to go Diego." Diego looked at me briefly before nodding.

"We've got some time," Diego said, I don't know if Bree noticed I had said anything she didn't really move much. "We don't have to go back right now." Bree nodded, smiling softly.

"I could go for some reading materials," Bree said. I looked at her in slight shock, so that was were the books came from. I had seen Fred, or freaky Fred as some called him, reading some books around the house. I wondered if that was how she got away without being noticed. I was immune to Fred's gift but even a bit of it got to me sometimes, especially when I dropped the shield at times. He was one strong kid – well actually I think he was a year older then me physically.

"Books, its been a long time since I read a book," I muttered. Bree looked to me and smiled.

"Well, I could use some new music," Diego intercepted. I winced slightly, I knew I liked music but I also knew Edward had been really into music. I was distracted, I couldn't think of them when I was trying to stay alive. Looking to both my companions I nodded and jerked my head to the town center. "Lets go shopping," I said.

We moved across the the rooftops, through streets, and alley ways. It was not long until we came upon a strip mall and Bree did not hesitate to snape the hatch on the roof entrance. The only alarms were on doors and window so we were able to gracefully drop down into the room. I smiled at the books and walked with Bree over to the H's.

"I used to be a big reader when I was human, half my room was filled with them?" I mumbled as I picked up a copy of Withering heights. I felt my cold heart constrict and almost put it back but I knew I had to get over this. I missed reading books, and I missed this one the most. Maybe one day I'd run into the Cullens, maybe I'd find Edward with them and get some closure. That is if they didn't believe I was dead already, it had been almost nine months, it was possible they had joined the rest of the world and were mourning for the pathetic human whom they had left only for her to prove she couldn't live without them. I snorted, live without them, I was not longer living.

"I think I was as well, I don't remember much. I'm sure you know more then I do," Bree replied, picking up many books and I nodded. She did remember me, she remembered me and Riley taking her and she might even remember me biting her. I had been the one who turned Bree, our creator had been away hunting and though I had not seen her face as I was blind folded once she arrived back I had heard her distaste at Bree being so small. I had pointed out that this may give her a larger advantage with agility and strength. I sighed, and looked at her from my peripheral as I grabbed a few other books, a series called the Vampire Diaries.

"Sorry," I muttered. She didn't say anything she simply nodded.
