Y/n's POV

There was a throbbing pain in my back and a sharp stinging coming from my forehead. My vision was still black like my body hadn't caught up to my conscious mind. I felt something cold press against my head. It was slender, thin and soft.

Whatever it was ran directly across the stinging on my forehead; the shooting pain awoke my body, my eyes fluttered open. My vision was disoriented. I was able to catch a glimpse of the forest around me, something red and wild and a slender pale finger.

A groan left my lips as my body rolled onto its back. My back arched at the sudden pressure of my body weight on it. I shut my eyes and suppressed a moan as I laid my back back on the ground. When I reopened my eyes my vision was less blurry, I could make out the leaves in the trees above me, the small beams of light peeking through the gaps between them.

'How did I... Where am I?' The thought bounces around in my head. It felt like an obvious answer yet none came to me.

I was still slightly dazed, so when a hand clasped my jaw in a vipers grip I was startled to say the least. That's when my eyes fully focused on the situation and I remembered what had happened. Victoria had found me alone in the woods and in a moment of stupidity I called her a coward which resulted in her physically throwing me a few feet till I hit a tree and blacked out.

'Smart life choices Y/n.'

"What do we have here? The eldest swan unprotected and alone in the forest. Surely you should know better by now not to wander away from your murderous Cullens." She hissed. With each sentence she tightens her grip on my jaw to the point where it felt she might snap it if she squeezed anymore.

"V-Victoria...what...what are you doing here?" I managed to get out between the tight hold and puckering of my lips.

"We ought to stop meeting like this swan; it might just be your undoing." She whispered, leaning down to my ear. As she pulled away she chuckled a sadistic chuckle.

All of a sudden I was hoisted up off the ground by the collar of my jacket and pinned up against a tree. My head once more bounced off the trunk, emitting another moan of pain from my lips.

"Do you have any idea how hard it is not to kill you right now? To see the faces of your precious little Cullens and your sister when they find your dead and burnt body. When they feel the exact same pain I felt when I found James's body." She leant into the crook of my neck and sniffed me. I stiffened at the closeness unsure at first if she was going to bite.

"The shield on you is stronger today, your scents completely masked." Her voice was quiet almost as if she was talking to her self. She pulled away, red eyes matching her red hair and illuminating her pale face, staring holes into my soul.

"I can see the blood rushing through your veins. It's like you're tempting me. A little taste never hurt nobody right?" Her voice sounded strained as I watched her red eyes turn black with lust. Blood lust. Hunger.

One of her slender fingers reached up to my forehead dabbing the cut. The sensation was the same as when my body was still unconscious. I hissed in pain and wriggled in her hold. She simply strengthened her grip on me to hold me still.

I was starting to feel scared but my ADHD meant for a delay in the reaction to my emotions so while an emotional and mental turmoil of fight or flight set into my brain my body was as limp as a dolls.
