Sacrificing

Lelia Maria Swan

The whole entire plane ride, I was cursing. Alice stole a yellow Porsche and she sped! Zoom! All too soon and me cold-sweating. "I'm sorry Bella, Lelia, this is as far as I can go. Hurry!" The Cullen half-yelled.

Both of us hopped out of the car, I was wearing a blue plunging neck that had long sleeves and a crossing front design with white jeans, just add black knee-high high-heel boots. Yeah, I was fucking awesome! Wait, don't get off track. Focus. Save the bloodsucker Eddie. Or, Eddie bear!

Bella was in front of course but me being in the track team, I was directly behind her. Pushing past red-cloaked people, Bella saw what appeared to be Edward just in the shade of a Castle roof. They had a touching reunion. Great. Damn, I was being pushed back from them. The doors closed with Alice looking around for me.

I snorted before reaching the doors, they were locked. SHIT! I walked around the building, in the front, before walking to the receptionist, who was tan and had black hair. I leaned on the counter and the woman looked up "Do you need help?"

"Um... Yes.. Can I know if a pale girl with two gold-eyed people passed here? I got separated from them..." I mumbled awkwardly. But the girl seemed to know. She smiled.

"Ah, alright. Take the elevator to the top level, go down the hallways, and then enter those doors at the end. By the way, I'm Heidi(?)" I nodded before walking calmly to the elevator and going to the top level. Italian opera. I laughed like a maniac before shutting up. Why would they even have a elevator? This structure from the outside looks like a castle.

Once I stepped out of the elevator, I marveled at the dimly lit passage. But, snapping me back to reality was a scream. Bella's. I mean, who could be more emotionless than that?! I broke into a sprint and after what seemed like hours but it was a few minutes, I reached the doors.

Not bothering to be polite, I kicked it open. "No! Please don't! I'm- Wait what? Where were you Lelia?" I was fuming, stomping over, not noticing anyone else I checked her.

"Anyone harm you? Don't you DARE say there is NOTHING wrong with you woman, why else would you scream, unless your zombie state affected you and you've taken up the stupidity of screaming out of FUCKING NOWHERE! including you left me trying to find a way in here!" I half yelled out of fury.

She just broke a small smile "Um, no. I'm not harmed... Sorry for leaving you and... um.. Edward was being thrown around by Felix after Jane used her powers, of mental pain, onto him... um.. Lelia? Why are your eyes like... pinkish now?"

"How would I know?"

"Just mentioning it."

I rolled my eyes out of annoyance and turned to a blonde-haired vampire at the corner of the room. Me being the protective older sister I was and not caring of death, I glared at her "Look missy, I know you're WAY older than me but still that doesn't mean you can-"

Someone interrupted my ramble with a chuckle. I groaned and turned around again to come face-to-face with a pale man, red eyes, and raven-black hair. "What do you want?" I snapped.

"Fiesty." He merely commented while taking my hand.

I glared daggers at this man. He merely let out a laugh before putting my hand down again "Marvelous! Who are you my dear?"

"Lelia, older sister of Bella there." I merely motioned before slipping out of that position back to Bella, threatening anyone to come close.

"Are you not afraid of death?" My gaze went from the other vampires to the blondish/white haired man seated on a chair upon the dais. His face was masked with a deep scowl.

"No. Why should I be?"

"Because you are in a room full of vampires and only you and your sister are humans here."

"And?"

"What do you fear then?"

"Why the hell would I tell you blondie?" I snapped once more. Damn, my mood was bad today.

Everything went from me and him shooting dagger-filled glares at each other. The background was full of crashes and the man, which I now remembered from Carlisle telling me about the three leaders. Caius, the blonde which had no power, Marcus, the old-looking one who can see bonds, and Aro, the one who can see your mind and everything about you with just a simple touch.

Aro had told Jane to do something and I tore my gaze from the blondie to see her looking intently at me. "What the hell are you looking at? Jesus Christ! Every vampire in this room as a problem! Either with over-protection such as Edward there, or just merely staring!"

The Vampire Lord just laughed gleefully like a maniac. "Magnifico! She resists all our powers! Her eyes are a beautiful amethyst!" Almost too quickly, Bella, Edward, and Alice were free to go while I was a 'liability'.

The hell? I glared at him "I am not a liability!" He just motioned for Felix to grab me. He had me pinned against the wall by the neck. I growled deep in my chest, but he just glared back.

The Cullens and Bella were forced out of the room. Bella kept on calling my name. Once they were gone, I noticed now I was alone. Vampires looking at me as if they waited for my next move. Well fuck them. If they turn me into a vampire, I swear every one of them will be fearful of me.

Was I really just a sacrifice to let Edward and Bella leave? Including Alice, my BEST FRIEND! My mind has concluded this statement, while I was pinned to the wall, the cold, marble-hard hand almost crushing my neck.

I had only come along as a sacrifice.
