22 Smell.

[City of Forks Welcomes You!]

''Grr...'' A figure with deep red eyes looked at the sign in front of him. He had pale white skin with long messy red hair, and a feral-looking face.

*Sniff*

*Sniff*

He sniffed the air in front of him and smelled something very tasty.

He was passing through Forks... Until his enhanced sense of smell attracted him here.

''Dinner... About time...'' The figure grinned viciously and started running towards the City of Forks.

His blurry figure reached the nearby town.

His dark red eyes gazed at the passersby's walking with their family.

''Grr...'' But he didn't feel hungry when he looked at those innocent souls— instead, something else attracted him.

Someone who is worth 10 meals.

He hadn't felt this hungry in years, and his throat was getting parched.

He could also smell werewolves and groups of vampires being close to this town.

But, he has never got caught before, and he will never will.

His blurry figure ran through the forest. His messy red hair flowed gently in the air, and his feral-looking face became even scarier.

He could smell the carrier of such tasty blood being near.

Soon afterward, he arrived at the small two-bedroom house with a rusty truck and a police car outside.

The figure gazed at the building, and he was certain that the scent was coming from there.

*SWOOSH*

It looked like he teleported because he suddenly appeared in front of the door.

*Clank*

The figure tried to open the door, but it was locked.

*Crack*

The figure couldn't care and destroyed the lock.

*Creak*

The door slowly opened, and a dark room appeared in front of him.

The figure stepped one foot into the house, and he smelled the tasty blood everywhere in the house.

And he was sure that person was still here.

*Creak*

His every step echoed menacingly in the downstairs.

He started ascending the stairs towards the second floor, and the scent became stronger.

*Sniff*

He sniffed one more time and saw a door not far from him.

The figure reached the door and gently opened it.

The scent became so strong that he could barely resist drooling.

The room was dimly lit— the only light was from the moon.

There was a single bed in the room, and a brown-haired girl was seen.

She was sleeping innocently in the bed, not knowing that wild beast had entered her room.

The figure bared his fangs and walked next to the bed.

He licked his lips and looked at her innocent face.

The brown-haired girl groggily opened her eyes.

With hazy vision, she saw a figure standing next to her bed, ''Edward..?'' She murmured with a tired tone.

The figure grinned viciously and put his hand forwards.

He was about to touch the brown-haired girl's cheek but before that...

*BAM*

Something solid and hard hit the figure's head.

''Grrr!'' He turned his head angrily and saw a person with a mustache and curly brown hair.

Charlie looked at his broken bat with a shock-filled gaze.

''Dad...?'' Bella murmured, and finally, her vision became clearer.

She widened her eyes out of shock after seeing an unfamiliar person in her room.

''Bella! Run away!'' Charlie shouted and swung his bat once again.

''Hmph.'' The red-haired figure snorted— he grabbed the bat and crushed it.

''H-How...'' Charlie murmured, but then the red-haired figure swung his hand, which hit Charlie in the face.

Charlie was sent flying, and he crashed to the nearby wall.

''DAD!'' Bella shouted anxiously.

The red-haired figure grinned and looked at Bella, ''Two meals... Perfect.''

Bella left her bed and started retreating towards the window.

The red-haired figure followed behind her with an amused smile.

Bella's back collided with the window, and the red-haired figure was only meter away from her.

''RAA!'' Charlie ran towards the figure and tried to tackle the red-haired figure, but he didn't even move.

''Bella, run!'' Charlie shouted and started punching at the red-haired figure.

Bella ran outside her room with her shaky legs— she glanced towards her father and the red-haired figure.

Just in time to see Charlie crash in the wall once again.

He landed on the floor painfully, but he was still twitching.

Barely conscious.

The red-haired figure turned his crazy-looking red eyes towards Bella.

Bella ran downstairs and straight towards the broken door.

But...

The red-haired figure suddenly appeared in front of her, and Bella collided with his chest.

Bella with a fear-filled gaze started retreating with shaky legs, but once she reached the stairs. She fell down on the ground on her butt.

The red-haired figure grinned viciously and showed his sharp teeth.

''Y-Y-You are m-making a mistake... I-I h-have vampires as my friend!'' Bella shouted with despair.

The red-haired figure grinned, ''So? They will never find out what happened here.''

''I-If you hurt me... T-They will hunt you down!''

The red-haired figure chuckled, ''If even Volturi can't catch me... What chances do they have?''

The red-haired figure reached his pale and cold hand towards Bella.

''N-No!'' She shouted with despair, but his hand touched her smooth hair.

''Bon appetit.'' The red-haired figure opened his mouth widely and started approaching Bella's neck.

But before that... He was once again interrupted.

*BANG*

''ARGH!'' The red-haired figure grimaced after something fast collided with his face.

He turned his gaze upstairs, where Charlie was holding his shotgun.

With shaky hands he started reloading, he couldn't believe that he survived the bullet!

The red-haired figure looked with a murderous gaze towards Charlie, and this time... He planned to kill him!

Bella paled and pushed the red-haired figure away from her.

The red-haired figure stumbled a few meters because he wasn't prepared, which only made him angrier.

''Bitch!'' He shouted and punched Bella.

The punch hit her gut, which sent her flying to the nearby wall.

''BELLA!'' Charlie shouted anxiously, he was done reloading, and again he aimed the gun towards the red-haired figure.

Bella clutched her leg in agony— she felt something breaking.

The red-haired figure appeared in front of Charlie and grabbed the shotgun.

Charlie was shocked seeing the red-haired figure teleporting!

''How...'' He murmured with despair.

''Hmph.'' The red-haired figure threw the shotgun downstairs and grabbed Charlie's neck.

''Annoying, die.'' He said simply and was about to crush his throat.

But then...

*VROOM!*

The red-haired figure turned his gaze towards the door and widened his eyes in shock.

A man with a flaming skull entered the building, while a motorcycle with a flaming skull was parked outside.

''W-What...'' The red-haired said with shock— he dropped Charlie down and turned his body towards the flaming monster.

Bella turned her hazy vision towards the flaming man.

Ghost Rider grabbed the shotgun from the ground— once he touched it, the shotgun instantly was lit in flames!

The 12 gauge double-barred shotgun started slowly transforming, and the flames were seen leaving the barrels while the barrels slowly transformed into a menacing-looking skull.

''Nice...'' Ghost Rider smirked and aimed the shotgun towards the red-haired figure.

He saw the red-haired figure's sins and was slightly surprised.

''Not even I can inflict the pain you truly deserve.''

Edward appeared in the house and looked towards Bella, holding her leg in agony.

''Bella!'' He shouted anxiously, and he appeared next to her.

''E-Edward...'' Bella looked relieved.

Edward looked angrily towards the red-haired figure.

''W-Why is he here..?'' Bella shakily pointed at the flaming monster.

Edward smiled but didn't answer.

Soon, the rest of the Cullens also appeared outside the house and was relieved after seeing both Bella and Charlie being alive.

The red-haired figure knew that he couldn't defeat them all.

He turned around and was about to start running towards the nearby window.

But then... A skeleton-like arm grabbed his shoulder.

''Not so fast... I need to test my new weapon.'' Ghost Rider grinned viciously and put the barrel of the shotgun into the red-haired figure's mouth.

The red-haired figure widened his eyes in shock.

''Bon appetit...''

*BANG*
