She was only a legend {1} SLOWLY REWRITING

Chapter One

Everything from now on that isn't centred is rewritten but not edited

The memory replayed again, plaguing my mind with the horrors my past brought. Why did my brain have to make me go through that again? Thinking back on it for hours until I'm sitting in the corner of my room staring blankly at the wall. Sometimes I wish I could cry, just so I could let my emotions out and not keep them bottled up all the time.

After many years of travelling around the world, I decided I wanted something different, something I had despised after my turn. A family. The Swan's were nice enough to take me in after finding me on the side of the road one night. Due to my ability to mimic other powers I was able to shift into a younger appearing girl.

Their daughter, Isabella, was with them when they found me. I appeared the same age as her and this made her parents feel sympathetic towards me, seeing their daughter in me. Their names were Charlie and Renee and they weren't the greatest couple but they still loved each other. Until Renee left the man in search of something more exciting and I didn't really blame her, but I still felt bad for Charlie.

The most problematic fact of me being an immortal being was that I could not be seen by mortals out in the sun, due to the sparkling of my skin once the rays hit my body. So I had to make up a lie, I told everyone I was allergic to the sun (Solar urticaria) and they believed me. They thought if I ever stepped a foot outside, while the sun was shining, hives would form on my skin and become red and itchy. And with my powers, I could fake this but it was limited. Why I still lived in Arizona where the sun was out every day? I had no idea. I should have moved in with Charlie a while ago, then I could live my life.

After that day with my mother and Robert, I was turned into a literal monster. I still don't remember how it happened, I blacked out through most of it.

The sound of screaming and shattering of glass was deafening, it made my ears ring. My throat was dry and it burned as if someone had poured liquid fire down my esophagus. That pain was all I could focus on then, it was pushing me to make it stop however I could.

An inhuman growl tore through my vocal cords, vibrating through my entire being, but it was short-lived by my scream of excruciating torture. I felt an ache in my mouth but it was much worse than any toothache I had felt before, it was like my teeth were being ripped out of my head with knives.

Once the pain had subsided I reached my hand up to my teeth but quickly drew back when I felt something extremely sharp prod my finger. Frowning, I had no idea what to think or what was happening. Where was my family? I wanted to see them. It was the day of my wedding and this happens?

I breathed in, feeling like it wasn't needed, only to smell something I never smelt before. It was a strong smell, sweet, and piercing into me with such intensity I almost fell over. Wanting to know what was pulling me into such a trance, my head snapped to the side so fast I was surprised I hadn't broken my neck.

I saw my father staring back at me with wide eyes. He was afraid and I could smell it.

"Violet?" The man whispered shakily, holding out a hand in front of him as if it would protect him. Instinctually, I growled through my teeth and pounced on him without a second thought. It was like I was looking through a mirror as my body went into autopilot. My first thought was to sink my teeth into his flesh and so I listened.

My white dress became stained with the red liquid of my father's blood and I was enjoying it a little too much. The blood soothed my burning throat and it was like I was reborn, this was the best feeling in the world, the sweetest tasting I could've never imagined.
