bella.
i must admit, i didn't expect to find you here.
tanya, i was. it was kind of him to arrange, given my association with james and victoria, "the enemy."
i went to visit the cullens, but their house is empty. i'm surprised they left you behind. weren't you sort of a pet of theirs?
do the cullens visit often?
i don't think so. tanya's "vegetarian" family was pleasant enough. but the dietary restrictions were difficult - living on nothing but animals.
tell me bella. do you ever feel compelled to.  cheat?
but that's not why i left. i came back here as a favor to victoria.
more or less. she asked me to get the lay of the land with the cullens. because, well.  i'm afraid victoria is quite put out with you.
yes. she feels it's only fair to kill edward's mate, given he killed hers. eye for an eye, mate for a mate.
i don't think he will. after all, how much could you mean to him if he left you here unprotected? victoria sent me here for information. she won't be happy about my killing you.
no, no, no. don't be upset. i'm doing you a kindness. victoria plans on killing you slowly, painfully - whereas i'll make it very quick. and you smell so.  mouth watering.
i.  don't believe it.
