Chapter 1

BELLA'S POV

Everyday of my life has been a blur. It's the same thing daily. Leeches ordering us around, saying we're useless worthless, waste of space.

As I sit cross-legged, my back against the wall, arms crossed and nose high, my signature posture. I look over my cellmates. They seem weak and powerless on first sight but they aren't. They are anything but.

My eyes rake over their bodies, from their heads to their ankles, where they linger for a while. We wear anklets. They put them on our ankles to inform vampires about our level of submission. There are three colours or rather three levels.

Green. They don't speak, they do as told with no question nor protest. They basically have no backbone.

Orange. They're not as pathetic as green-ankled slaves but they're under vampire's controll, they do what they can to survive unscathed, they kiss those pale, cold vampire asses.

Red. The badass of human groups. We are defiant as hell, we don't please vampires. If anything, we go out of their way to displease them. Sure we all hate vampires but us, Reddies, ABHOR them, and we don't hide it.

We got whipped yesterday for ganging up on the vampire that was here to buy a pet for himself. He kept eyefucking Harriet and me being me, I started with the insults and we got punished.

The reason why guilt is gnawing at my insides is because my healing is enhanced for some reason, I heal faster than any human you can find in this building and outside. That's what baffles the bloodsuckers. Heh..yeah, I like that.

Harry went on and on about how she couldn't believe how weak Miranda is because she's not a Reddie anymore she's now in level Orange.

I knew she was treading on thin ice. She was recently bought. The poor blondie is probably dead now.

I hear shuffling and groans of pain. I shift my gaze to Harriet, she sure looks like hell.

"Hey Bella! You always do that, watch people sleep?" She says with a light weak chuckle.

I smirk, "Oh please, why would I watch your ugly ass. I'd rather stare at Mandy's toes all night than stare at you bitch."

She snorts unlady likely. I laugh like a hyena and it stirs people in their sleep.

"Argh you know I look like a princess," she states, batting her eyelashes

I snort, "An ill-mannered one at that!"

Harry is a very good looking girl with red hair and blue piercing almond shaped eyes, pink plump lips and long lashes. There are a lot of scars on her body but she still manages to look like a radiant princess out of a storybook.

I hear heavy footsteps from afar with my abnormal hearing. It's time for the sleeping beauties to wake up.

"He's coming," I say while waking Penny up.

"How do you always do that?" She asks for the millionth time. I just shrug in response.

Everyone is up except Mandy and I'm shaking her violently.

Why is Mandy not waking up?

She must be tired.

I lean in closer to her. No heart beat. No please, no.

She can't be dead. She isn't moving a muscle. I stare wide eyed at Harriet and she just gives a questioning look, "Why aren't you waking her?" Huh what does it looke like I am doing, fanning my face?

My friend can be really stupid hey. I give her an irritated look.

"She bled out, she's not breathing. She's dead Hare!" My voice breaks.

Mandy was very talkative and loved to hear herself talk and she always treated us like her sisters. I remember this one time we were starved and she wasn't punished as she was not part of our bandit group. I still wonder why she hadn't joined us. Anyway, she shared her food with us for two whole weeks. It was little but it showed that she loved us.

A sob crashed my train of thoughts. Harriet buried her face in her hands. "No no no! Why ?!! I fucking hate these leeches!!!" She shrieks and winces from disturbing her wounds.

I'm frustrated too but I'm not much of a crier, especially because we weren't that tight. There's nothing we can do now. Now all four of us are in a sour mood.

Our cell door is flung open, the hinges barely hold on to the poor door. "Who said that!!" A vampire I don't recognize bellows.

Oops! It's time for damage control. I can't let Harriet get punished and die like Mandy. She's already weak from yesterday's beating.

"What's it to you pussy!" I shout and his face concorts into what an angry monster would look like.

Seems like little buddy here buddy here isn't used to humans insulting him. Poor newbie.

He suddenly grabs me by my neck and lifts me so I'm close to his face and our noses are almost touching,

"Who do you think you are talking to human?!!" Drops of his spit are on my face now. Ew.

"Who do you think, dickface?"

He squeezes my neck tighter, cutting off my air supply. I claw at his hands, kicking him. I'm thrown to the corner suddenly, gasping for air, letting it fill my lungs up only to hear a slapping sound and a snap of someone's neck breaking. My head spins to the direction like a whiplash to see the vampire leaving and Harriet on the ground with eyes open.

The bastard must've used excessive vampire force to slap her.

I let out a bloodcurtling scream, crawling my way to my friend's motionless body, "No no no move Harriet!! Breathe! No no Harry!!" A river of tears flows down my face and I fail to detect the different sets of footsteps that indicate that other people are entering the room.

"No Harriet Holmes you better wake the hell up now!! No, I can't lose you! Not now no!!" My bellows turn to soft, sorrowful murmurs.

A series of sobs resonated throughout the room. "Harriet okay yes you look like a princess, the world's most prettiest at that. Please wake up I'll-"

"How pathetic. She's dead bitch!!" He tries to pry me off but I quickly turn to leap and cling to him like a possessed teenager and gorge his eye out only to be pried of him the next second.

I try to attack the fucker who is trying hindering me for avenging my friend but he's quick to pin my arms behind me. The second vampire drags me out of the cell whilst I'm kicking and screaming, the one-eyed dickhead is left spewing profanities.

All I'm left with are my thoughts. She died because of me. It's my fault I should've been the one who's lying on the floor, lifeless. Instead, she died.

I will avenge you, Harry.

The vampire throws me into another empty cell. I land hitting my head and I black out.
