Victoria waited three whole days to confront her mate. Mate—what a laugh. He was cheating on her and with a damn human to boot. What did that pasty-faced girl have that she didn't, she'd like to know. She was going to give the lousy cur one last chance to break it off with little miss innocent. How did this happen anyway? The stupid human should've been freaked out by being abducted by a vampire, yet she showed no fear. What was wrong with her? Was she mentally imbalanced? Shaking her red tresses in fury, she raced through the bracken and up among the tallest treetops. Finally landing on the leaf-strewn floor, she tossed huge boulders into a creek a mile away to let off steam, and believe me, she was bursting with pent up steam. The red streak, erroneously described as a UFO by the locals, haunted the forest for those three days.
Arriving at the cabin, Victoria, not the least bit appeased, saw the silly human sitting casually in a chair and dressed in HER clothes.
"What do you mean dressing her up in my clothes?" She was fuming by now, and screeched at James, who was crouched at Bella's side, smiling up at his new toy.
James' laugh filled the room. "Well, you weren't here, sweetums, so they were just lying there doing nobody any good, and Bella needed something to wear. So, what the hell—they fit, and I happen to like the way she looks in them."
The female vampire walked toward Bella. "Take them off!"
"What?"
"You heard me. I said take them off!"
Bella blinked, and spouted, "I will not, James gave them to me."
"They weren't his to give."
Shrugging, James extended his arms to plead with the irritated female, "Come on, Victoria. She's got nothing else to wear. I'll get her some new duds tomorrow."
With arms crossed at her chest, Victoria replied, "You better. Why is she still here, anyway?"
"I was lonesome, and she amuses me."
"Is that all?"
"So far, yeah. What do you care? You were gone, doing whatever. How do I know where you were or who you were with?" Probably with that idiot, Cole.
"Beats sitting around this place, listening to you and the little twit talking about philosophy."
"You should join us. You might actually learn something."
"I know enough."
"If you say so." He turned and winked at Bella.
Victoria picked up a book, lying open in another chair, and flung it full force at his head. James ducked in time, but his casual manner was being tested. He stood, and in a menacing voice, blurted, "Ya know, I think I've had just about enough of this sh**!"
