"What the hell do you want?" Bella hissed as the cloaked partner came into the room.

They didn't answer.

Bella groaned and thrashed around.

"Don't do that."

She turned around. The person had evidently used a deep voice to conceal their identity.

"Who are you?"

The cloaked person shook their head.

Bella glowered at them.

"You should really go back to the Volturi," the deep voice said. "Would you rather die?"

"I would rather die than stay away from Edward, yes!"

"But would Edward even want you if you broke your 'diet'?"

To her horror, the cloaked figure dragged in a human.
With a paper cut..

It had been 5 days since Bella had hunted. And 2 months since Bella had even smelt humans, let alone human blood..

Bella had thought she could live without human blood.
How wrong she was..

The blood smelt more delicious than she could have ever imagined. This person did not have drugs in their system, like the humans she would have usually hunted. His blood was pure.. pure and delicious.

The human's screams did nothing to stop her when the cloaked figure thrust it towards her.

She grabbed the humans's head with such force that he was probably dead before she even sunk her teeth into his throat.

The blood pouring down her throat was warm and delicious.

Once the human lay lifeless on the floor, her only thought was that she needed more.

The cloaked figure laughed and Bella glared up at her. It was only when she saw them holding up a mirror, that she came to her senses.

Her eyes, previously almost golden, were now red...

She gasped, her breath hitching in her throat.

"What have I done?" She whispered.

Heavy sobs came as her eyes moved down to the human who lay pale and empty on the floor.

She screamed. "NO!"

This couldn't be! She couldn't breathe. Everything was spinning and she was becoming dizzy.

"What have I done..," she whimpered.

Tanya burst through the door and the cloaked figure stood up so fast that Bella would have caught a glimpse of their face if she hadn't been sobbing, eyes too fogged up to see.

"YOU HAD ONE JOB!" Tanya screamed. "WELL NOW IT'S OVER, YOU BITCH!"

She lunged forward but the cloaked figure stopped her. "TANYA!"

In all the shock, they had forgotten to use the deep voice. Bella gasped.

It couldn't be..

"WE HAD A DEAL, RENATA!"

IT COULDN'T BE!

Renata growled and flung off her cloak. "Guess there's no use for that now."

"Renata...?" Bella cried.

'I'm sorry," she mouthed.

"SHE FOUND A WAY TO TELL THE CULLENS!"
