Bella followed me around closer to the house. Not only had I been doing research on her and the Goth family for the last year, but I had practiced the magic I learned with the sisters.
“I have a gift for you my old friend.” I smiled as she stepped up by me.
“Oh really?” She asked snapping from fear to sass, “It has been a long time since you have tried to steal my husband. What brings you back to Sunset Valley?”
“Just needed to tie up some lose ends, you know.” I eyed her carefully, “The years have not been good to you dear Bella.” My grin more genuine now.
“At least my heart still beats.” She snapped after touching her crow’s feet.
“For now.” I was baring my fangs completely.
“Morty’s inside, if I scream the cops will be here in a under a minute.” She stammered stepping back slightly.

“Do you think I am stupid Bella?” I asked wiping the grin from my face.
“Well…” She started.
“Good, that will make this that much better. I know what you did Bella, does Morty?” I hissed slightly.
“Morty? That twit would have already run Gunther’s fortune to the ground if it wasn’t for me. I am amazed he puts his own pants on every morning.” She spit.
“Hmmm I might need to change that.”
“Don’t worry Lux, I will tell him for you.” Bella smirked, “he was relieved when he found out about the runt’s death anyway. His connection to you severed forever and he was happy about it.”
“Jasper’s not dead.” I smiled back flashing fang again.
“What?” Bella’s eyes widen, “I watched him die!”
“And I brought him back.” A thought crossed Bella’s mind, I picked it up and crushed it before she could complete it. “Don’t. I will make sure no one brings you back. Your body will be in an area so barren and guarded that no one who cares to will come, somewhere that will be protected for generations to come.”
Bella stared at me, angry, confused, and scared. She was wondered if she could make it to the house without me catching her.
“Now Bella, you’re not going to run…
“Well…” She started.
“Good, that will make this that much better. I know what you did Bella, does Morty?” I hissed slightly.

“Now Bella, you’re not going to run…
She made eye contact with me, her big mistake.
The power of the goddess,
The vision of the snake,
I compel, I compel.
I only needed to say the short vampirism hypnotic spell in my head once, it was the easiest in the book and had the most uses.
Bella’s mind only fought back for a little while, she clearly was trying to fight back but I was more powerful.
“Bella, listen carefully. You are going to take this vile and drink it.” I handed her the vile.
She drank the contents of the vile and handed it back to me.
“Good,” I pocketed the vile. “Now, you will tell no one that you saw or talked to me. This will be our secret. Do you understand?”
Bella nodded.
“Good, I will see you tonight then.” And with that I let her go.
Bella shook her head a few times trying to un-daze herself. While she was distracted I zapped myself to her attic. I considered all the other places I could go, really I could of zapped back to Bridgeport with the gifts the sister’s blood had given me but I was curious. So up in the Goth attic I sat, listening to Bella and Morty, inviting myself to observe their life.
It wasn’t long before their kids came home, they sounded like any family. I wondered if I could really complete my plan. Bella was a mother, this not only hurt her but her family.
A tremble ran through my spine as I thought of her children’s future, Bella was far from a positive influence. Then one of Bella’s thoughts popped in my brain, she was wondering if Cassandra, their first born, would be pretty enough to marry wealthy and keep her legacy going. With that thought she sealed her fate.

Around midnight after the entire family was fast asleep I popped into Bella and Morty’s room.
Bella’s sleep was restless, even though she could not share the news of my visit she was well aware of it and my face haunted her dreams.
I stood and watched them both sleep for a few minutes. Morty so peaceful and still handsome, unlike Bella he had aged well. As I watched him sleep I realized how much Jasper looked like him, a Goth who would never carry the name or the emotional issues. The thought made me smile.
Bella stirred awake and saw me standing next to her. She sucked in a breath to scream but my hand was over her mouth too quickly.
“Shhhh,” I whispered, “no need to wake the family.” A smile crept over my face as I watched her eyes fill with tears. She attempted a stiff upper lip, but she couldn’t completely control herself.

“How about a late night swim?” I laughed slightly.
Before she could do anything to wake Morty I popped us into the back yard.
Bella again went to scream yet again so I broke into her mind and stopped her. Instead of controlling her brain completely I took over only her basic motor skills, it was easier this time since she was still weary from the original spell.
She stood frozen wanting to scream or run but unable too.
“What did I say Bella? No screaming okay?” I cooed softly as though she was a child and released her mouth.
“What do you have planned for me?” She snipped still trying to be strong.
“I already told you, a late night swim.” I smiled.
“Wouldn’t you rather just have a late night snack? You must be hungry. I could call out Cassandra, young blood untainted by the cruelties of life. We could trade.” She pleaded.
“You would sacrifice your only daughter?” I paused wondering where her selfishness ended.
“Of course. It’s the boy who will continue the name.”
“Hmmm…”I pretended to consider her proposal, “Nope.” I smiled brightly.
Bella just glared at me, clearly trying to come up with a new plan.
“Time to swim.” I laughed and into the pool Bella went.
She had no control, her body striped down and jumped in no matter how much she tried to tell it otherwise.
I walked to the other side pulled up a chair and opened a book.

“So how long are you going to make me tread water?” Bella smirked.
“Until the poison kicks in and you drowned like you doomed my son too.” I smiled back as the full plan sunk into her dense skull. She finally realized what was in the vile.
