I am seventeen, seven years ago i was kidnapped from my home. I was taken by Vampires, they took my to Volterra for a blood organization. It is where they take people and keep them locked up, everyday vampires come from all over the place and drink our blood. Not enough to kill us, just enough to feel satisfied. I had the best blood, sadly i got lots of visitors because of that.
"Isabella." Aro calls, her opens my door. Inside my little cell is a cot, a chair, and a table. "Visiter."
I get up from sitting on my cot.
"Enjoy." He says, leaving. A vampire slowly walks closer to me, he inhales my scent.
"Beautiful scent."
I back up.
"Now now, no need to be scared." He whispered, i shudder.
"Just do it quickly." I tell him.
He raises an eyebrow. "Of course." He dashes over to me. I gasp. He grabs my head, and bits into my neck.
After he finishes he walks out again. Suddenly a pain overcomes me. I tumble the the ground, screaming. Aro suddenly walks in.
"Isabella, your newest punishment." He tells me. "Jane, stop." He orders. The pain stops and i sigh, relieved. "You create blood faster than normal. Twice as many customers." Aro grabs me and stands me up.
"This is Jasper Cullen." Aro says, revealing a tall muscular blonde vampire. He had weird colored eyes, somewhere between honey gold and scarlet.
Jasper dashes over to me and smiles. "Such good smelling blood. Mind if i?" He asks with a southern accent.
"Do i have a choice?" I demand. It isn't like they can punish me more then they have. They kidnapped me, they drink my blood.
Aro slaps me.
"Just stated the facts." I mutter, though they can hear me clear as day. Jasper tilts my head back and sinks his teeth into my neck. I wince. He drinks my blood maybe a minute or two then lets go. I hold my hand up to my neck.
"Delicious." He smirks.
"Glad to see you enjoyed it." I mutter sarcastically.
"That is enough, Isabella." Aro yells. The door opens and a boy is thrown into my room.
"This is your room, you will learn to live here and follow our rules." Alec yells. Alec was another mean vampire. Jasper and Aro left. Leaving me with the boy.
He gets up shakily, clutching his bleeding neck and falls against the wall.
"Are you okay?" I ask him. His forest green eyes dart to my face. He looked scared, terrified. "I won't hurt you. Are you new here?" He nods.
I smile at him hesitantly. "I am sorry. They took me when i was ten." I told him. I assessed his bloody neck. I got up, grabbing the clothes from my table, i walked over to his slowly. "Can i stop the bleeding?"
"Who are you?" He asks.
"Isabella." I told him.
"I am Edward." He told me. I smile at him again.
"They drank your blood today?" I ask him, knowing the answer already.
"Yes." He mutters. "It hurt, how much do they do it?"
"It stops hurting after the first few times." I tell him. I remove his hand and put the cloth to his neck.
"Your bleeding too." He tells me.
"They just drank my blood. We are blood slaves Edward. They are vampires, they come and drink your blood, not enough to kill you, but to feel satisfied." Edward stiffens. "Edward, i will not hurt you i promise. Just trust no one, you don't want to end up dead. Many have had the opportunity to leave and they have."
"Do i trust you?" He asks.
I smile and look down. "I promise not to hurt you, but it is up to you whether to trust me or not."
"I trust you." He whispers.
"Let me clean your neck." I tell him. I sit him on the cot and rinse the cloth, wiping it on his neck until it is cleared of blood.
"Do yours." He tells me. I nod and do it.
"What do you do all day?" He asks.
"Well, we usually have visitors once to four times a day, depending on how much they drink. Some times they will take blood with a needle rather than drink from you. They may not have such control. And other then that i sing to myself, think of my parents, my family, my friends. Think one day, just maybe they will let me go." I mutter, looking down.
"Tell me about yourself." He tells me. "You are very beautiful."
I smile. "And you handsome. How old are you?"
"Seventeen." He whispers.
"I had two very loving parents. They would hug and kiss me each night before bed, my mom would sing to me. My dad would give me a quote each morning before school, telling me to think about it all day long. And then at dinner we would discuss what i thought about it. They loved how i would sing and dance. I had a best friend, her name was Angela. We did everything together since we were little. I didn't have siblings, but i wish i did. Every year my parents took me to Florida, we have a beach house there. We would spend all day on the beach. When i think about it now, i can feel the heat from the sun, the cool water, i can hear my mother and father's voice." I looked down, wiping a tear from my face.
"It sounds wonderful." He muttered.
"Tell me about your family." I said.
"My parents were like yours. Loving, though my dad wasn't around much, he loved me and he always told me. He showed it too. Every time he came from a trip, he would bring me and my mother a gift. My mother was very soft and beautiful. She had brown hair, like yours. Just a bit darker. She had green eyes, beautiful ones. She was very gentle and patient, she always made you feel great." He told me.
Suddenly my door burst open and Aro walked in with a bunch of vampires.
"Isabella, visiter." Aro sang. "This is Carlisle, Esme, Jasper, Alice, Emmett, and Rosalie."
"Wonderful." I whisper to myself.
"Isabella, i warned you." Aor says, slapping me.
"There isn't much more you can do to me. You took me from my family and intent of making me die a slow death." I told him, holding my cheek.
"You shall not die!" Aro hissed, slapping me again.
"Bella." Edward whispers. "Don't."
"It would be awful if i commited suicide." I told him, smirking. "Because weak old humans do die. And my blood goes with me, you can't keep me forever Aro."
"And that is why we bring in new humans everyday." He told me happily.
"None good as my blood." I remind him. "Because i am rare, and that is why you bring only the most paying vampires to me."
"Of course." Aro stutters.
"If only one would lose control." I murmured.
"Your parents will come here too if you don't stop this attitude." He warned.
My eyes narrowed. "An unfair game, you have more weapons than i do." I frowned.
"Who ever said we play fair?" Aro asked me. "More weapons, an understatement. We move by night."
"As if i could use that opportunity, this place has modern vampires. I wouldn't make it too the window before someone stopped me." I told him, my voice relatively calm.
"Not smart to fight with me." He warned.
"Kill me, i will be glad." He was silent. "You can't, can you! Because i have wonderful blood that you can't afford to lose. Too bad." I mutter. "I do have demands that never got accepted."
"We overpower you Isabella." He reminded me.
"Not exactly, humans die very easily. Loss of blood, perhaps one of your many vampire friends will lose control." I reminded him.
"Only the oldest come to you." He hissed.
"One day, bring a newborn." I growled.
"You wish." He told me slapping me again.
"Does no good hurting me Aro. Makes me look less tasty, less money for you." I whispered, clutching my cheek.
"We smell more than see." He hissed.
"Liar." I whispered to low for even me to hear. But they could.
"Isabella, perhaps it would be nice for Little Edward to take a trip. We do hear everything you say to each other, perhaps you have drawn feelings?" Aro suggested.
"I am sorry i talked about my family. Sorry i told him about my best friend you took me away from." I told him sarcastically.
"You never do stop, do you?" Aro asked.
"Neither do you. Guess unlimited amount of vampires need blood." I mutter.
"We brought Angela in a few days ago. Though your blood is still better." He told me. My head snapped up to meet his ruby eyes.
"Let her go." I hissed.
"Your parents will be next. Sad that you are getting older, weaker, dying. I remember when you were just a little girl, begging us to stop. How old were you? Nine, ten. Couldn't be older than eleven." He teased. In the background i could see Carlisle and Esme getting angry. "Your parents spent a great deal of time looking for you, they still are. But they are losing hope, slowly. No trace left of you."
"We have decided to leave her be, someone else smells better to us." Jasper told Aro.
"Of course." Aro said.
"Losing money Aro, better watch your words." I told him. They left silently.
"I wish they would just give up." I muttered, putting a wet cloth on my cheek. "They won't find me."
"We will find a way out of here." Edward told me.
"Edward, there are vampires covering every inch of this place. We won't have any chance even to make it out of this room, unless escorted by a highly trusted vampire. If you are here with me, you obviously have good smelling blood meaning more security. We won't get out." I yelled, my voice getting softer at the end.
Alice POV
We all entered the blood bank they had. Scents overwhelmed us but we easily picked out a scent, Isabella. She was amazing, had the best blood ever heard of. We walked to Aro and he lead us to her room. She was talking to someone, her small voice comforting someone.
"I had two very loving parents. They would hug and kiss me each night before bed, my mom would sing to me. My dad would give me a quote each morning before school, telling me to think about it all day long. And then at dinner we would discuss what i thought about it. They loved how i would sing and dance. I had a best friend, her name was Angela. We did everything together since we were little. I didn't have siblings, but i wish i did. Every year my parents took me to Florida, we have a beach house there. We would spend all day on the beach. When i think about it now, i can feel the heat from the sun, the cool water, i can hear my mother and father's voice." She said, her voice a little shaky.
"It sounds wonderful." A boy muttered.
"Tell me about your family." Isabella said.
"My parents were like yours. Loving, though my dad wasn't around much, he loved me and he always told me. He showed it too. Every time he came from a trip, he would bring me and my mother a gift. My mother was very soft and beautiful. She had brown hair, like yours. Just a bit darker. She had green eyes, beautiful ones. She was very gentle and patient, she always made you feel great." The boy said.
Aro opened the door, Isabella jumped up from the cot and faced us.
"Isabella, Edward, this is Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie. They are here to take your blood." Aro told us.
"Wonderful." Isabella whispered.
"Isabella, i warned you." Aro says, slapping her.
"There isn't much more you can do to me. You took me from my family and intent of making me die a slow death." She yelled, holding her cheek.
"You shall not die!" Aro hissed.
"It would be awful if i commited suicide." She told him, smirking. "Because weak old humans do die. And my blood goes with me, you can't keep me forever Aro."
"And that is why we bring in new humans everyday." He told me happily.
"None good as my blood." She reminded him. "Because i am rare, and that is why you bring only the most paying vampires to me."
"Of course." Aro stutters.
"If only one would lose control." She murmured.
"Your parents will come here too if you don't stop this attitude." He warned.
My eyes narrowed. "An unfair game, you have more weapons than i do." Isabella frowned.
"Who ever said we play fair?" Aro asked me. "More weapons, an understatement. We move by night."
"As if i could use that opportunity, this place has modern vampires. I wouldn't make it too the window before someone stopped me." She told him, her voice relatively calm.

"Kill me, i will be glad." He was silent. "You can't, can you! Because i have wonderful blood that you can't afford to lose. Too bad." She mutters. "I do have demands that never got accepted."
"We overpower you Isabella." He reminded me.
"Not exactly, humans die very easily. Loss of blood, perhaps one of your many vampire friends will lose control." She reminded him.
"Only the oldest come to you." He hissed.
"One day, bring a newborn." She growled.
"You wish." He told her, slapping her again.
"Does no good hurting me Aro. Makes me look less tasty, less money for you." She whispered, clutching my cheek.
I suddenly felt bad for her, she was horrible here. I had a feeling the rest of my family felt the same. We were only here for a small snip. Every month we came and had a little human blood. That was it.
"We smell more than see." He hissed.
"Liar." She whispered, we were just able to hear.
"Isabella, perhaps it would be nice for Little Edward to take a trip. We do hear everything you say to each other, perhaps you have drawn feelings?" Aro suggested.
"I am sorry i talked about my family. Sorry i told him about my best friend you took me away from." She told him sarcastically.
"You never do stop, do you?" Aro asked.
"Neither do you. Guess unlimited amount of vampires need blood." She mutters.
"We brought Angela in a few days ago. Though your blood is still better." He told me. Her head snapped up to meet his ruby eyes.
"Let her go." She hissed.
"Your parents will be next. Sad that you are getting older, weaker, dying. I remember when you were just a little girl, begging us to stop. How old were you? Nine, ten. Couldn't be older than eleven." He teased. In the background i could see Carlisle and Esme getting angry. "Your parents spent a great deal of time looking for you, they still are. But they are losing hope, slowly. No trace left of you."
I looked at Jasper, he had pain written all over his face. I nodded, we all agreed. Pain and sorrow showed on everyone's faces.
"We have decided to leave her be, someone else smells better to us." Jasper told Aro.
"Of course." Aro said.
"Losing money Aro, better watch your words." She told him. We left silently.
"I wish they would just give up." She muttered. "They won't find me."
"We will find a way out of here." Edward said.
"Edward, there are vampires covering every inch of this place. We won't have any chance even to make it out of this room, unless escorted by a highly trusted vampire. If you are here with me, you obviously have good smelling blood meaning more security. We won't get out." She yelled, her voice getting softer at the end.
"How long has she been here?" Carlisle asked.
"Around seven years." Aro answered.
"How long to they keep us here?" Edward asked.
"Until we die. Edward, we will never see out family again." Isabella told him. Edward's heart sped up slightly.
"She needs a lesson." Aro muttered. He went into a different room and opened the door. A small girl was crying on the floor there. She had long black hair. "Come with me." Aro snarled, grabbing her.
"Where are you taking me? Where am i?" She sobbed. We all felt sorrow for her. Aro walked back into Isabella's room, signaling us to follow him.
"Isabella, i have a surprise." Aro said. Bella covered her mouth with her hands, tears leaked from her eyes.
"Bella, what is happening?" The girl cried.
"Angela, i am so sorry." Isabella cried.
Aro tilted her head back and bit into her neck. Angela screamed.
"I am sorry." Isabella cried.
After a minute Aro threw her onto the floor. Isabella ran over to her and hugged her, the girl cried.
"Bella, where are we? What do they want?" She asked.
"You blood." She whispered. "They are vampires."
Angela gasped. "You have been here all this time, we won't go back home?"
"This is my fault, i am sorry." Isabella cried.
"Aro, i will buy them all." Carlisle said after a minute.
"What?" Aro hissed.
"I will buy them, these three." Carlisle repeated.
"Fine." Aro snarled. He picked up Angela and threw her to me. I caught her, trying not to hurt her. Isabella looked at me panic stricken.
Angela sobbed restlessly.
. I let Angela go, she ran to Isabella.
"Bella, what is going to happen?" She asked.
"I don't know." Isabella told her.
"First we take some blood." Aro said, he grabbed Isabella and sunk his teeth into her neck. A tear dribbled down her face.
Bella POV
Aro grabbed me and sunk his teeth into my neck. It hurt more than normal. A tear dripped down my face. He drank longer than normal. My eyes slowly closed and then it was black.
Angela POV
The man with red eyes grabbed Bella and bit her, a tear slipped down her face. He drank for a few minutes, then she started looking pale. I gasped at what was happening. He was killing her. Her eyes dropped and she went limp in his arms. He let go and her body fell to the floor.
"Now you may take them." He grinned. He left.
Two of the other ran to Bella, crouching down. One was a small girl, she had black short cropped hair, the other was a blonde one. He put his fingers to her neck and moved his lips slowly.
"She is still alive." He told us. More tears ran down my face. The other boy stood next to me, a tear falling from his eye.
"Carlisle." A brown haired girl said, walking up to the blonde. "Will she live?"
"Yes." He answered, picking her up. He suddenly was gone. The brown haired girl came up to me.
"Angela, i am Esme, we are going to take you home. To your parents." She told me. She put an arm around me and lead me out of the room.
Esme helped me into a Mercedes and got in next to me.
"Angela, the one that took Isabella is Carlisle, and this is Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, and Jasper." She told me. Alice got into the driver's seat, Jasper in the passenger and Rosalie got into a different car.
Alice started driving. Esme turned to me. "I am going to clean your neck, alright?" She picked up a wet cloth and gently wiped at my neck. She put a cloth over the bit and taped it there.
The drive seemed to go on forever, before i knew it the sun was gone, it was pitch black out. I eventually laid my head back and fell asleep.
When i woke up i was on a giant bed. I was in a blue and brown room. I sat up slowly, my head hurt, and so did my neck. I winced and fell back onto the plush pillows. The door opened and Alice peeked her head in.
"Angela, you're awake." She said, dancing over to me. She sat on the bed, i moved away from her.
"Stay away from me." I cried. "Don't hurt me."
"Angela, i won't drink your blood. I promise." Alice told me. "I know you are afraid of me, but please trust me. Come on, i will take you to see Isabella if you want. I think you two were best friends or something." She held her hand out. I took it hesitantly. Alice helped me up from the best and supported most of my weight as i walked down the white hall. I passed Jasper and Emmett on the way. They were in another room playing video games.
Alice opened a door and helped me in. On the bed was Bella. She was pale and had an I.V. attached to her, it was giving her more blood. She had a breathing tube on her.
Alice gave me a small smile. "You can be with her alone if you want."
"Yes please." I muttered. Alice helped me to the Bed and left silently. I stroked Bella's hair gently. Moving it away from her face.
"Bella?" I asked. She stirred a little, her eyes opened.
"Angela?" She whispered.
I smiled. "We are out of that place."
"We are still with vampires." Bella whispered to me, her voice hoarse.
"They told me they would take me back home." I told her. "They can take you home also."
Bella smiled. "I missed you so much Angela."
"Me too." I hugged her.
There was a knock on the door, Alice poked her head inside.
"Angela, do you want some breakfast. And then we can take you back home. Well actually Carlisle said you can go, both of you. Bella is doing much better now."
I nodded. Alice helped me up after i hugged Bella again. She took me back to the room i woke up in.
"If you want you can take a shower, here are some clothes." She said, handing me jeans and a shirt. I nodded and walked into the room she pointed to be as a bathroom. I took a quick shower and changed into the clothes. Alice was waiting when i was done. She led me downstairs and to a large kitchen with stainless steal appliances.
"Good Morning Angela." Esme said. She gave me a plate with pancakes on it.
"Hi Esme." I muttered.
"After breakfast you can go home." Esme told me. I nodded and quickly ate my pancakes. It wasn't long until Bella came down, she had no tubed connected to her this time. Edward came down a little while longer.
"Esme, where are we?" I ask.
"We are in Forks, we know that you three live here." Esme told me. She gave us all jackets and directed us to the mercedes. Alice and Carlisle got in with us.
Bella POV
We drove to my house. Alice said Angela's parents were there also. Once we got there Angela and i were out the door before anyone else. We ran up the path and i rung the doorbell like four times. It took a little while until someone opened it. Mom stood there puffy eyes and red, when she saw us she stood there shocked. I ran and hugged her.
"Bella?" She asked, hugging me.
Suddenly Dad, Mrs. Weber, and Mr. Weber appeared at the doorway. Dad came and hugged me and Angela hugged her parents.
"Where were you?" Mom asks me, wiping her tears away.
I didn't answer for a minute. I knew i couldn't tell them where i really was.
"What is on your neck?" Dad asked, moving my hair and spying the bandage. He spied the one on Angela's neck also.
"Excuse me." Carlisle said.
"Who are you?" Dad demanded.
"My wife and i found these girls and we brought them to our house yesterday. We let them rest and then we brought them here." Carlisle explained.
"Thank you." Mom said, gripping me tighter.
"Do you know what happened to their necks?" Mr. Weber asked.
"An animal attacked them in the woods." Esme lied feebly.
"Will they be okay?" Mom asked.
"You are Dr. Cullen." Mrs. Weber said suddenly.
"Yes." He answered. "I have already taken care of their wounds, they should heal quickly."
"Thank you so much for everything." Mom said, kissing my forehead.
"No problem." Carlisle said, walking back to the car with Esme.
"Bella." Mom sobs, hugging me. "Oh i have missed you! We were losing hope we would ever find you! So many years you were gone."
"Mom, i missed you too." I told her. After a few hours i went upstairs to bed. Mom and Dad cried and a lot and hugged me, calling every person they knew and telling them i was home and safe.
When i got upstairs i immediately fell into the purple of it all. The lilac walls, the dark purple comforter, the oak dresser and desk. I walked slowly to the bed and touched the soft blankets. A hundred memories hit me like a comet. Angela and i sharing secrets, sleeping over, sneaking snacks upstairs thinking our parents didn't know but they did, my tenth birthday party Angela slept over. A few tears dripped from my eyes.
"Honey, are you alright?" Mom asked.
I turned to her quickly, running and hugging her. "I am sorry, it is just i haven't been in here for brings so many memories."
"I know sweetie, i know." She tells me. "I am just so happy you are home. Now, go to sleep, you need rest. You look horrible, whatever happened has done damage to your schedule. Tomorrow we will need to run some errands together, getting you new clothes is definitely on the agenda. I doubt you will fit into the childrens place stuff now."
I smile and nod. Mom kisses me and leaves.
Jasper POV
Alice and i sit in the tree that shows us Bella's room. The door opened and the light turned on, Bella took a small step inside. She looked around, a small smile on her face. She walked slowly to the bed and touched the covers, almost as if she was making sure it was there. A few tears ran down her face.
"Honey, are you alright?" Her mom asks.
Bella runs to her and hugs her. "I am sorry, i just haven't been here in years. It brings so many memories."
"I know Sweetie, i know." Her mom says. "I am just so happy you are home. Now go to sleep, you need rest. You look horrible, whatever happened has done damage to your schedule. Tomorrow we will need to run some errands together, getting you new clothes is definitely on the agenda. I doubt you will fit into the childrens place stuff now."
Bella nods and lies down, falling asleep quickly.
"Jazzy, do you think we did the right thing. Returning them home?" Alice asks.
"Yes, you always try to do the right thing Ally." I tell her.
"But what if Aro comes back for her. She was his favorite, in blood manner, not in behavior." Alice tells me.
"According to Aro, she is dead. He drank her blood, remember?"
"I do." She murmurs. I kiss her lips.
"Ally, she try to do the best we can. If Aro comes again, we will remind him we bought them all. They belong to us."
"In a technically manner. Renee and Charlie and the true owners of Isabella Swan and Aro knows that, he has the power to kidnap her again." Alice tells me.
"Edward's parents are dead. He is staying with us?" I ask Alice.
"Yes." She answers.
Bella POV
I fell asleep quickly, but dreams got to me. I woke up screaming. Outside i saw movement. I got up quickly and looked outside, there were two pairs of glowing eyes in the tree. I get up and walk to the window slowly. Suddenly Alice is standing next to me. I scream, she covers my mouth.
"You parents are asleep. Shh." She tells me, taking her hand off. I back away from her.
"Don't touch me, please." I beg.
"Relax Bella. We were only staying watch. Carlisle and Esme told us to. Just in case, and Rosalie and Emmett are watching Angela." Jasper says, jumping in lightly.
I take another step back, tears in my eyes.
"Bella, we won't bite you, i promise." Alice says, taking a step toward me. I back up again, she takes another step but Jasper stops her.
"Alice, give her space." Jasper said. "She is dead scared of us."
"Fine." Alice pouts.
Suddenly we hear footsteps and the door opens, Alice and i dash out before anyone can see us.
Bella POV
I was backed up at the wall. They were going to suck me blood, after all, Jasper did drink once before. I bet they all wanted a try.
"Fine." Alice mutters, taking a few steps back.
Suddenly the door opens and Mom pokes her head in.
"Bella?" She asks. "Are you okay?"
"Yes." I mutter, my eyes dart to where Jasper and Alice were standing, they were gone. The window was closed.
"I thought i heard you screaming." She sighed.
"It was just a dream." I told her.
"Do you want to talk about it?" She asks.
"I think i will just go to bed." I told her.
She nods. "Okay." She whispers, closing the door. Jasper and Alice again are suddenly standing next to the window.
"Is it childish to say we hid in your closet?" Alice asks.
I look down.
"Alice, why did we come in here?" Jasper asks. My breathing gets caught in my throat.
"She had a dream-Are you okay Bella?" She asks.
"Scared as hell." I think to myself.
"Ally, come on. She is scared." Jasper says.
"Why? We won't hurt her." Alice tells him.
"She has been around vampires that hurt her for seven years." Jasper tells her.
"She doesn't trust us at all." Alice whispers, disappearing. Jasper gives me an apologetic smile before leaving also, my window closes.
