It's me again! Sorry for the wait so anyway here is Chappy number 2! Please read and review!
I woke up to the ringing of my alarm clock, great another day of slavery I thought. I rolled over and pulled the cover of my bed over my face and attempted to go back to sleep. Of course, when I was just dozing off someone decided to knock on my door.
"Come on Isabella! Rise and shine!" Felix shouted through the door. I growled quietly, yes me the human growled at Felix. One, it was what? Eight O'clock in the morning and Two? He called me Isabella. I hate it, everyone here calls me Isabella and they won't listen when I correct them to Bella. So I've given up now. I ignored Felix and rolled over.
"Honey" He said in a really girly voice. "Get up now" He said in a dark tone. I sighed loudly and got out of the warm comfort of my bed. I stomped my way to the door of the bathroom and ran the water for the shower. While it was warming up I stripped off my clothes and waited for the water to become heated. Once it was I stepped into the shower but immediately wanted to jump out again as the water hit my blistery toes. I tried to hold back tears but a few escaped. I noticed that they were probably infected and that I would have to notify Aro to get me some cream. I washed my waist length hair with my favourite strawberry shampoo and used my freesia body wash to wash myself. Once I was satisfied I turned off the water, wrapped a towel around my hair and body and looked what Heidi had laid out for me to wear. There were pink tights and a blue/green leotard with an attached skirt. The leotard was velvet while the skirt was thin cotton. I rolled my eyes at the choice of outfit but I did like the colour (leotard on profile). I pulled on the tights and leotard and rolled the tights to my knees. I rolled my hair out of the towel and ended up my blow-drying it. I then brushed it out and managed to gather it all into a bun, after I wrapped a matching ribbon around my slick, smooth bun.
I looked at the complexion that was staring at me in the mirror. My face had thinned out all these years. I was now an eighteen year old female girl, being hold captive and being forced to dance. My brown doe eyes had lost their sparkle they had five years ago. I had become thinner due to the amount of food they fed me. I only had one good friend here, Heidi. Sometimes when she could, she'd make my meals and feed me a decent amount of food. But that was only occasionally since Jane volunteered to prepare my meals. Oh, what a big, lousy mistake that was. She'd give me only half of what I should eat and it would be the things I hated to eat. Once, she even put a whole lot of chillis in a meal. All of this was because of one thing. She couldn't torture me. It was entertaining to watch her try and torture me the first time but now it's annoying and it frustrates her more, and that meant she got angrier at me. I sighed and headed out of the bathroom to my room. They gave me good accommodation. Pfft, they thought by giving me all I wanted would make me happier. Yeah right, because the one thing they wouldn't give me was freedom. I had every game console, the biggest TV, the most comfy bed but yeah, bribes don't work on me.
I was relieved that it was Heidi that brought me my breakfast today. It looked delicious. She had made Eggs and Bacon on toast, and to the side were a few pancakes coated in syrup. I gratefully thanked her and started to eat my meal. I savoured the taste and took my time to eat. While I was eating I talked to Heidi. She said she wanted to buy me a few more leotards. I declined at first, since I didn't like things bought for me but after a long argument I cautiously agreed. While she gathered up the cutlery and plates from my breakfast she told me Aro wished to see me. I sighed and knew that I would have to perform for him. I pulled my stockings down and slipped on my Pointe shoes. I knew that he'd at least let me warm up down there so I made my way to the ballroom. The ballroom was where their thrones were. It was a large space that had no use. But since they had me, it was put to use. I arrived and saw Marcus, Aro and Caius in their thrones. Marcus was just looking bored like usual and Aro looked excited. Caius however was like always, shooting death glares at me.
"You know Caius, if you keep that face on it'll be permanent. Oh wait, it already is Mr Grumpy, Lumpy, Fanged Caius" I smiled at myself since I made that up on the spot. He rose from his chair and stalked towards me. I smirked; Aro wouldn't let him touch me.
"Can I help you? Mr Grumpy, Lumpy, Fanged Caius" I asked him. He growled loudly at me.
"Enough! Isabella stop that now, Caius – get back on your chair" He commanded. Naww, he took the fun out of everything.
"Now Isabella I called you here to discuss something with you" Aro told me. "I need you to prepare a routine for you to perform at a celebration night here. The celebration will be an Anniversary of the Volturi for 1, 500 years (I honestly have no clue how many years the Volturi have lived). Are you able to do that Isabella?" He finally finished and asked me. I knew that I didn't really have a choice.
"Yes, I understand Aro" I answered him and he dismissed me. I remembered about the infected blisters on my feet.
"Oh yes Isabella, one of the Covens that are coming have a qualified doctor with them. I'll get him to see you" He told me and I made my way up to my room.
I was searching threw all my music trying to find the right piece of music. I decided on Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson. It resembled how I am trying to breakaway from this place. I decided to do a lyrical dance instead of a classical. I searched through my dance bag under my bed and found a pair of foot undies (On profile). After a few more dances with these I would need to get a new pair. I then searched in my walk in closet for a costume. I wanted a light coloured one that was still colourful because it matched the flowing music. I found the exact one I was imagining and hung it on the outside handle of my closet (On profile). Now the hard part began, doing a routine. I listened to the music a few times before starting my routine. Good, I had an idea in my head.
I would start on the ground, on my stomach with my legs in the air. I would do a split then a windmill kick and do a few stretches on the floor. Next, I would reach for the sky when I got up with one hand at a time, and three little steps. After that I would do an open pencil turn then another turn with my leg at attitude and at the same height as my head. Then a high kick to the side then stand on one foot and reach my arms up, another turn then a split run. That was the introduction done now it was easy to do the rest.
I had spent three days on my routine and I had finally completed it. I ran over it countless times wanting it to be perfect. Aro approved on my routine and just asked me to have more gymnastic moves in it so it would be more entertaining. Hello? I am a ballerina not a gymnast! I tried anyway and luckily they fitted into my routine.
~Ballet~
Today was the day of my performance and I was as nervous as hell. I was in my costume and just finished doing my hair in a side fishtail braid. I applied my make up that consisted of: Foundation, no blush since I have my own, eyeliner, mascara, some bluish/purple eye shadow and some lip gloss. I did have to say, for once I looked pretty. Heidi came in and once she saw me she grabbed me in a hug and said that I looked beautiful. I thanked her and then Heidi said that I had to start making my way down to the Ball Room. I nodded and she walked me to the doors of the room. Heidi told me to listen and once that I heard my name I enter and go in my starting position. I waited and waited and then Aro called my name. I quickly ran gracefully into my position and waited for the music to start. (Routine is on profile. It is amazing! Well it is to me)
Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray
Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I'd pray
I could break away
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky.
Make a wish, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun.
But I won't forget all the ones that I love.
I'll take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane
Far away
And break away
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky.
Make a wish, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun.
But I won't forget all the ones that I love.
I'll take a risk, take a chance,
Make a change, and break away
I ended my routine with me holding one of my legs in the air. I did a bow/curtsey and stood next to Aro. He did a speech then about me and then a toast. The guests were then free to dance and all of that stuff. I just stood on the wooden chair next to Aro. A coven of seven vampires then came up to Aro and they introduced themselves. There were: Carlisle and Esme, Rosalie and Emmet, Alice and Jasper and lastly Edward Cullen. They were all stunningly beautiful but the one thing I noticed was their eyes. They had gold eyes instead of red. I don't care though, because all vampires are just bloodsucking freaks – apart from Heidi. Aro told the Coven leader, Carlisle I think it was about my infection. He started to come towards me and I stiffened. He told me to take of my dance shoe and I did carefully. He then started to touch my foot and I yanked it away.
"I'm not going to hurt you Isabella" He told me kindly. I nodded and he reached for my foot again. I didn't yank it back this time but his hands were freezing cold. Even though I already knew that. Carlisle inspected it while the others watched. He gave me some ointment to apply each night and I said a quiet thankyou. Aro said that I was no use here and I was already getting too much attention. He sent me up to my room and I went up there without and argument. Just before I left, I said a quiet good-bye to the Cullen's before I went upstairs. While I was laying on my bed thinking, I noticed that the vampire named Edward wouldn't stop staring at me. Weird I thought before I got ready for bed.
