Heartbeat pounding away {sequel to 'I.U.F'}

"Ow, ow, ow." Ella complained as she used her hands to lift herself off of the ground. The pieces of glass went deeper inside. She felt the cold of the night. The fog was still on and could barely make out the forest in front of her. She looked at her hands and before she could pick them out.

Victoria pulled her hair back as Ella was on her knees. Ella almost screamed but held it in. Not near her home. Victoria pulled her up on her feet with her hand still on Ella's hair. Ella tried to pry her hands away but Victoria was a full vampire and she only had speed, and if she tried her telekinesis on Victoria or Icky Vicky (Yeah from the Fairly Odd Parents) then Ella would only pull her hair more.

Ella would have to wait until Victoria would let go of her.

"I want to know why..." Her voice hesitated but it was menacing. "James," She growled. "Loved your scent so much. Why is your blood so special?"

Before Ella could answer with a snappy comment. Victoria whipped her head up and looked into the fog as if looking for someone. Victoria then placed Ella in front of her as a shield and then felt something cold under her. Ella shivered at the cold metal. She had a KNIFE! A freaking knife.

"Move one more step and I'll cut your girlfriend's throat before you can even think!" Victoria hissed.

Edward, Emmett, Jasper and Alice came out of the fog like some kind of models. Ella always envied for how graceful they always moved. Edward's expression was mixed with worry and anger.

"Hey." Ella smiled weakly at him. Tears brewing and threaten to come down.

"I'm leaving with her." Victoria started to back up and Ella had to move with her.

[I'll be fine, don't follow us, promise me.] Ella thought to Edward.

[But...] He started but he had to trust Ella to take care of herself. [Call for me if you need me.]

[Always.]

Victoria and Ella moved for hours deeper and deeper in the woods. So deep to the point that Ella didn't recognize any of the woods. She was getting irritated by Victoria pulling her.

"Okay, ENOUGH!" Ella stopped and took her arm back.

Victoria was stunned by her sudden out burst.

"We keep moving until I find a place where they can't find your bloody body." She came closer and Ella would've been scared if it weren't for the fact that she knew if she died Icky Vicky would go after her family.

"I've had enough of you." Ella started. "For months you've been after me. I've done nothing to you. I never wanted James, he wanted me and if I had the strength to stop what happened that night I would take it all back in a heartbeat!"

"A mate for a mate." Victoria said her eyes narrowed and more dangerous.

"James wasn't even faithful, how could you want revenge when the thing didn't even love you?!" Ella yelled.

Victoria's nostrils flared. She knew Ella was right but James was gone because of her. James loved Ella and not her. After years and centuries of loyalty he planned to leave her for a seventeen year old mortal girl. What did Ella have that she didn't? She remembered when she was able to drive James crazy, but James crazier for Ella than he had been with her.

Victoria needed to take out her anger on Ella.

"You need to die." Victoria attacked and pinned Ella to a tree by her shoulders. She dug her nails in Ella and Ella screamed. Ella tried to get her away but it was futile. Victoria removed her nails and Ella lets out a louder scream than before.
