Hi here it is, Heart Beat

have fun

Don't own twilight

Heart Beat

Boom boom

Oh no, it's coming

Boom boom

and coming at the worst possible time.

Boom boom

I can feel my pulse rising and the heat burning my face.

ba-boom

how could I have swallowed that vile stuff they forced in to my mouth?

ba-boom

I should have just choked and ended it then and there, so my secret would have died with me.

da-doom

I have to choose and I have to choose quickly.

Due-da

I have to choose now, they can't know of what I really am.

Due-da

I'm running out of time, the only thing they would buy would be a bird.

Due-due

Swan or hawk, I can't decide.

Due-due

They are all staring at me, I have to choose!

Suddenly, the entire room filled with light and the girl that once lay in the center in agony erupted in the vary center without a sound, making every buyer gasp in awe.

Then there, where the girl had once lay, was a bird.

Not a sound in the room could be heard except the wisper of the one who said,

"A Ferruginous Hawk."

In an instant, the room erupted into aplauds.

I felt utter discust course through my body.

I wanted to go use these talente I was forced to form and scratch out their eyes; but I knew that that would only earn me a wipping and a buyer who is determined to brake me like a spirited horse for his own entertainment. No, I wouldn't stand for that so I just stood there and waited until the stupid handlers came to fetch me, but that didn't stop me from staring at those men withas muchvenom asI could muster. I would have loved to changed back, but I wasn't suposed to know how to change, not yet anyways. That's why they make use swallow that vile stuff and force us to change, for most of us for the first time, in front of the auctions where they sell us like animals. Just because we, the changers, so called for our ability to change into aminals, can make ourselves look like a creacher does not mean we are creachers.

I feel strongly about this but so do all the ether enslaved changers that I have met. So all I could do really was show them my distaist with my eyes.

If you are wondering, no I am not a hawk changer. I am something much more frightening that I refuse to say. Not even my other changer friends, that I care deeply for, know my secret and so it will stay that way. So certain was I of this until my eyes fell upon a person that fasinated me, he didn't look amused or fasinated like all the others I had seen before, but determined and almost bord with all of this. That is why this man caught my eye.He had bronze hair that was messy, but at the same time look good on him, with topaz eyes that caught my attention. He was about six foot five from what I could tell, but it was hard to tell from my cerain position. He had a long, lean body that had eligant mucsels to fit. He was waring a suit but I was still able to see that me had a nice build.

I saw my keeper finally coming for me but I didn't want to go just yet. I was curious about the man, or boy I should say because he didn't look a day older then seventeen but that soon was hidden by my pure hatred twords him for how perfect he looked, standing there with the born exprestion on him face.

I knew that I would probably get a wipping for this but, at the moment, I didn't care. I took off into the air untell I cought his sent. It was sweet scent that made my mouth-beak water. I was only huvering there for a moment when his eye's locked on mine. I felt a dizzy ness and I knew he could read my mind so I invited him in thinking clearly,

"I know you can hear me, what are you here for? If your going to be here, then at least give the rest of us the degnity to at least apear interested. If you have come like the rest of those sorry faced flee ridded dogs and have come to buy me then I can only say that you are dead ronge.-"

I would have said more to him but that was when my keeper suddenly grabbed me, pinning my wings to my sides. I was in to much of a fery to care about my consiquense, I scratched him with my razer sharp claws and bit him with my sharp beak. I could small the blood from the scratches and for some reason, I knew that so could the man. He backed up from us as if restraining himself. I cought his eye again and for a milisecont, I thought I saw fasination and fear(?), before he disapeared into the croud.

Now without the man there, I didn't really see a need to fight but seeing that I couldn't get in any werse truble, I gave the keeper a fight to remember and a few deep scratches that were garenteed to scar to remember me by. For that, they stuck me in a small cage instead of changing me back. It was truely humileating just sitting there in a cage, squocking my head off as to show my complaints. The least they could have doen would be to have tied me to a perch but no, they put me in a cage and now because of it, my feet are merderously hurting me from having to stand in bars and I think the pain is doing things to my head becuase when I was laying on my side, about to pass out fron the pain, I thought I saw the man pass by but I am now sure that it was a helusination I had right before I passed out. Why would he be in the back ans aspetioly when the sellers were but in the midle of the showing.But when I woke again, there was no more sense in what I saw or felt more like, but was some what more reasonible.

Crack

ah, that hurts

Crack

Oh, I'd knew that any where. The wip, I could feel the blood dripping down my back from the places the wip bit threw my skin. Why on earth would they have changed me back and started wipping me wile I was unconcios. It didn't make sense,they normaly wait tell your awake fuly so you can feel the extent of your ponishmant.

Crack

I can't take any more of this. I never should have came to Europein the first place.

Crack

I finely let out a gasp as it traveled oversome of the ether open woonds

With that, the wipping stopped and I felt my arms being untied. I fell to the ground in agony but no one even bothered to apempt to katch me as I fell. The wipper then came over it me and say in a loud mocking vioce,

"Well little falkin, it's your lucky day. You went and got baught right off the spot like all the little birdies do."(yes i mean falkin)

All of the men laugh, I could now adentify that there were five. Bought, that would explain the wipping, I was customary to wip us changers before giving us over to our new "owners". Thank goodness I ws uncontious for more then half of it but who had bought me? It made me shuder to think of it.Oh well, mite as well face the sun before it comes to a noon's full blaze.

My back aced as I started to stand. What had I goen to dezerve such torters as to being wipped and still having to controle my self. Oh, how I wished to slap that stupid smerk off of these idiots faces but I couldn't, not when I'm this close to escape.I would just have to grin and bare it untell the persise time that I can escape.

Once I was to my feet, they didn't waist a single secont to usher me to the door and place shackles on my rists. It wasn't really nesisary but I think they did it any way just to show that I was still a prisoner.They then ushered me threw the door, not axacly gentally I mite add, and walked me down a wall into a room that smelled vile even to my dull nose, made dull from all of the many crule treatments of us changers, It made me sick and want to herl but luckely my stonich was emtey, another tredition they did before handing us over.

My face turned to pure panick before I could stop my self and only one thought went threw my mind. If they leave me in here, I would die! If not by them, then by my own doing because of this rechid stench. As I heared the gingle of keys and my stomich did a flip. My breathing became raggidand uneven as them took off the cufs. When my eyes flashed up to one of their faces, fear inclased into my eyes as I saw evil satisfaction and a disten discust twords the room it's self. They were going to make me stay in there.

That was probible the first time that I truly started to strugle, not that I wasn't before but compared to what I was doing now, before looked like I wasn't even paying atenction. They looked just as suprised as I felt twords my reaction. I douted that any one of the slaves had really fought back before, let alone did what I did.

I halted and not one of them could even buj me together or in uniscent. I had been staring at the ground but now I was staring at their faces and I could see and feal, real fear in them. I had a sensation in my eyes that worned that my eyes were it in the form of my ether self, with a cat like sharpness to them but I didn't care, bring storms and wind, I wasn't going into that room and nothing was going to make me change my mind.

Thay backed up into the room, away from me ,as I stayed in my stif position in the door way, watching them with a deadly glare,I had gone threw many things I never should have withstood and contained myself but this was the last straw, I would not take this! I was to the point were the black anger I had saved and restrained for too long came in fule force.A wicked grin cerved my face, making a shiver run threw each one of them, and I knew that I had held it in for to long and that at this point I could vary well kill each and every one of them with out a thought. I felt my teeth become razer sharp and my poster chang to that of a hunter stocking it's pray.

I herd a large band before I felt the pain reach me from the back of my head. black colored the sides of my vistion but I didn't pass out right away. I slowly fell to my nees and had to suport my self with my hands as my head fell amd brased against the pain. My vition was slowly getting darker but I was still there, fighting it. Realising what they were going to do to late to stop it, they forsed the vile drink down my throte.

I refused to swallow it and fought untell my lungs begain to sceam. I wouldn't do it, I was actualy glad of the chance to be suffcated aposed to swalowing it but my trader body took over and swaloded as an atempt to breath. They dropped me as I gasped for breath and watched as my hart spead up, forseing me to change but this time, I did something just to freak them out.

I half changed into a cat ,but at the last moment changed back into a hawk. they all seemed terified by what thay had seen but they didn't say a word as they picked me up and caried me off to who knows where.

They seemed like they were trying to remain calm but were really on the verg of panick. They didn't hide it well though, not well enough to hind it from my notuce but they did do welll enough for it to escape the knotuse of their peers as they passed threw crowds with me, but I stayed calm with only my still haiting eyes on them only because I knew I would destress them all the more. I knew it worked because the keeper holding me shaking under me and the ethers seemed unualy jumpy.

I smiles inwardly at that and waited as we neared the end of the halls, the keeper and me. My amusement turned to that of anoience because this stupid keeper was shaking so bad that I had to dig my talens into his arm to keep up right. I was releaved when we finely stopped infont of a door.

My capture made three short, fast nocks on the door and waited untell a voice that I could identify from any where and that I lothed to my core said,

"Enter."

I was drought into a room that was a little stuffy with a desk in the center. There were two poeple in this room, both on chairs but one farther from the desk and more relaxed then the ether. The man closer to the desk was the owner of the voice known as Barik Graystream but to us he was B Grayass, long story. He was mostly incharge of all the catching, selling, training, and trading of changers on this side of the Mediterranean Sea with his dark, nearly black skin that was cracked and was covered with soars that cover him and his folds of fat rippiling on his stomich of his unnaturally thin frame. His face wasn't any prittier with his small irisses in his big eye sockets. His eye brows were uncept and his lips overly large and dull, set into a perrement grimance. His chin was so sharp that it could poke an eye out and his hair was short, greasy and curly.

I suddenly felt such an overwelming hatrid twords him that I practicly tryed to atack him but was stopped in mid flap by a rope, that I had not knowtused before, that was atached to my lages. I had to flap frantickaly to regain my ballence but when I did, I setled, gripping the bare skin of my capture's titely in my tallens, and staired at him with pure hatred imagening what it would feel like to drop him in a lake for a much needed bath but axidentally drownded.

I was so interested in B Grayass that I hadn't been paying atention to the ether man but my atention, ending my imagenings,snapped to him as he spoke.

"Yes, the girl will do nicely and will last me a cuple as years. I now see your reasoning for your pricing." I made a rood noisetwords him but he only smiled at me with a glint in his eyes that had my heart sink."So Iwill be satisfied with her and will take her emediantly-."

He had shart blond hair and blue eyes but he was cut off by the phone. It's ringing seemed to have fritening B Grayass as well as my keeper. B Grayass ansered the phone hastelly and said in a clammy voice,

"hello?"

He lissened intentelly. We all watched as his face turned to total suprise and then most suprisingly, and shocking, to us, he smiled. The smile sent my heart racing and I gave a suprised squock,now hiding behind my kapture but he seemed just as suprised, as well as shocked, as I was as he stood there stifly.

He turned to us stitely, without skipping a beat in his conversation to show us his , once again, grimansing face.We were all quiet as we heard B Grayass say,

"Ya, th item is still aval-."

"How-."

"But there mus be-."

"Ya, of sor would you-."

"Understude but-."

His position stiffened.

"Ya, we are ta an agrement, it be doen."

He hung up the phone. He still looked stif as he turned and spoke to the keeper.

"Ya are ta take t item to the loadin ara and meet wit a man by t name of Cullen. Ya are ta give im t item for an envelope. You are ta ask no questins and ya are ta have not a tuch of t item exept ta carry it there. If ya fail, I will feed ya ta th rest of them changers. Am I clear?"

His grammer has so bad that I didn't know how The keeper understood him. The keeper noded quickly, not daring to say anything. As we quickly left the room I herd part of their converstion.

"I be real sorry but that item has already be bought. I can't give name of him besides Cullen by his request but would ya still be interested in some ether items Mike?"

That was all I heard but it was enough. Some one else had bought me but for how mush? It maust have been a heck of a lot to shut B Grayass's big mouth.It wasn't like him to quiet like that, he usualy squeazed every penney he could get, so that proved that this person had money.

I suddenly felt a dizzyness and I knew he was here so I opened my mind, saying at a near shouted in my mind,

"Oh not you again, I would have thought you would have picked some luck lady already, that or I got smacked in the head harder then I thought."

Then out of no where, what do you know, there he was. The keeper stopped breafly a few feet away. I saw a displeased , or was that worry, on his face but when he saw my keeper, his face yurned expretionless. He then spoke in an all buisness tone.

"I am Mr.Cullen and I beleave this is the girl?"

The keeper seemed scared but ansered all the same with a unusual boldness.

"Yes, this is the girl Mr.Cullen, that is if you want to call the bird a girl."

The last part came out as a mumble that I was sure only I heard but i then heard a low growl escape the man's or Mr.Cullen's throte. Wait, did I hear right, did he just growl? I was serten that the keeper hadn't hear it but growling?

With a suden movement, Mr.Cullen brought out an envelope and sharply thrust it at the keeper but in less time I knew posible, swiftly grabbed the ropes, and with the ropes, me.

He did the movement so quickly that I had to flap a bit to keep bence but in my action, I acsidentaly clipped the keeped on the sholder. As I setled again, I watched with amusement when he flinched and looked around frantickly as if the earth was falling out from under him.

With a flash of reallisation, I finelly realised that I was sitting on the hand of man that could read minds and shut him out,as my thoughts continued down a twisted path,so that he couldn't hear.

He was extreamally good looking and he had perfect pale skin. He looked so butiful that I found that I really didn't want to hert him. I lusened my grip on his and didn't press my tallens, well better to start now then never. I felt cold and that was when I realised that I wasn't the cold one, but Mr. Cullen. God hated calling him that, if only I just knew his name. Well , a shiver ran threw me and I think he fent in becuase he brought me closer to him.

When I looked again, I found that the keeperhad already left. I turned back to him just to have our eyes lock. his gold, butterscotch to my dark blue. After a wile, I was the one who turned away and I knew that, if I were in a human form, I would have been blushing right now. I saw a smile play the corner of his lips and I could sense every move he made.

It was then that I, not liking the silence, opened my mind to him, keeping it under my controle. He seemed over joyed to enter and it pleased my for some reason.

I then herd him say vary close to me,

"Don't try to fly. There is just to many wires and nets to prevent escapes."

I knew they were there from what my friends had told me but how did he know about them?

He had started to walk as I thought clearly,

"You bought me didn't you?"

It was more of a statement then a question but he still ansered a little hesitently,

"Yes, I did." But he said it in almost a wisper and I heard him say in a mutter,

"Thoe I really shouldn't have to. Filthy slave trade."

I knew I wasn't supose to have heard that but I couldn't help myself.

"Your not going to keep me a slave?"

"No." His voice was dark.

Hay If you like it tell me in reviews, I like reviews!

Well happy hunting
