Aro's point of view
Aro sat in his old leather chair and looked out the two-story high window; the moon shined light across the garden and made it seem like another world. It looked so peaceful; peace was the one thing Aro gave up on finding. He was the oldest and most powerful vampire, the father to all vampires. Aro was the man who people whispered about and hid out of fear when he walked into a room, his word was law and no body stood up to him. Now he sits here looking out into the night wishing for just once he could have the power of peace, but every time he tried to find it the fates would just laugh at him.
Aro often thought about walking into the flames and ending his life and maybe then he will find pace or something close to it. But would God open his arms and welcome him or will he turn him away like so many others have done. It was the one question that found its way into Aro's thoughts every night. Aro couldn't lie to himself any more he was tired of being the one who has to carry all the weight, well that's what happens when you have lived for millions and millions of years. People human and vampires alike often tried to become his friend and make him happy, but Aro saw through their masks they wanted his power. At first it was funny to see them try now it was painful to see how low some people are willing to go for a bit of power.
A breeze of wind pulled Aro from his thoughts; someone was here and inside his mansion. Aro stood up and started looking for whoever it was. No one seemed to be inside his mansion, then how did the wind get inside and past his safe guards or shield. Aro let out a slowly and deep growl as he walked through his mansion and checking every room and crack that there was in his mansion. Still nothing, the one thing Aro hated was been played for a fool and by someone who most likely after his power.
Aro went back to his leather chair and sat down, he then opened his mind. One of his many powers was he could read anyone's mind, mind travel, control minds, follow foot prints that people have left after they mind travel. But most of all he could track the mind; no one could hide from him. Mind powers are a small amount of power that he had. Slowly and carefully Aro looked for foot prints, it was the easiest thing he had ever done because they were everywhere, who ever had done this didn't know how to hide themselves. As he followed them he started to see marks that he had never seen before.
Aro was just about to follow the prints when a scream hit him, it was a scream filled with horror and pain. It was a woman, young and in pain. At once Aro reached out to the woman, when he reached her mind he was hit with a wall of pain. Aro looked through the woman's mind and memories to try to find an answer to why was she was in pain. But to Aro's surprise he found no answer or memory on how she found herself in such a place. Aro sent a wave of warm air to the girl to let her know he was here. At once she ran and hid in the dark place of her mind.
"Do not fear me little one" Aro said as he waited to for her to make the first move. Still she stayed and didn't make a move, she was afraid then again everyone was afraid of him.
"My dear child I am here to help you. Come out I will stay away and won't move" Aro said, slowly she came forward.
"Tell me why are you in such pain" he softy demanded, the girl was shy and scared.
"I don't know" the woman said, Aro pushed softly but it backfired. The girl let out a scream of fear and shut down her mind and ran. Aro tried to go after her but her mind blocks were strong and even if he brock them down to help her it would only scare her. Aro had no course but to go back and wait till she made another move.
When Aro was back in his own body he called Caius to him, he was a man who had often joined him on travels. At once Aro felt him coming to Aro's mansion, Aro walked to his study and got to work looking over any vampire who could be the reason to all this.
Aro felt Caius near and asking for permission to enter, Aro gave it.
"Master what is wrong?" Caius asked while walking in to his study.
"A girl, a child came to me." Aro said still thinking of a vampire who be so cure to someone so young.
"And?" Caius asked, Aro's head snapped up at the sound of his voice.
"And she was a child in pain and screaming because whoever has her is killing her slowly" Aro said turning his cold black glaze on Caius.
"Don't get mad at me Aro, I said and because it seemed like every other girl who comes to you. Now let's look at all the points." Caius said, Aro calmed down and sat down.
"She didn't give anything away, I don't even know her name for Christ sake" Aro said running a hand through his long jet black hair.
"The question Aro is how and why she is been put through so much pain" he stated
"I looked through her memoirs and found nothing on how she got there or why. The vampire who has her is very powerful, most likely an elder who hides behind her" Aro stated.
"How do you it's a vampire? You and I both know vampires are not the only ones who can have power over the mind" he stated again.
"I know you don't have to remind me, but I know what a vampire feels like when in the mind. Every different creature has a different mind wave and patterns. The patterns can tell the age and if it was male or female, that's how I knew the victim was a girl a child. And the vampire was old and strong often to hide behind her" Aro explained to Caius.
"Aro it seems like every day I learn how powerful you are, is here no end to your power?" he asked with a small smile on his lips.
"I'm the father of all vampires I have all the powers that are known to us" Aro said
"Ok. So we know she is young, female and a child. She is a victim of a vampire who loves her in pain; she came to you yet hid from you and didn't give anything away. What are we going to do about it?" Caius asked, Aro knew when he said we he meant he will help Aro.
"There is a long list of vampires who feed off other people's pain and an even longer list of people who like to play with their food. I'm sorry to say that I can't help her till she tells me more about herself. All we can is keep a look out for her" Aro said.
"What about putting a warning out?" Caius asked
"No that would only scare the person who has her into stupidly and they will end up killing her" he said sitting back.
"Aro?" asked Caius
"Yes"
"Why do you care about her she is just a human, most of all the vampires kill humans even children for food. How is this girl any different?" Caius asked a good question and Aro didn't have the answer too. Something about this girl just got under Aro's skin and he couldn't stand the thought of her been hurt. Nothing added up, he had never given a female a thought. Most of the time he would go to town and fill his need and then leave, but this girl was different in a way that he didn't understand. But Aro did know this he will find her and he will kill who ever dared to lay a hand on her and God help him if it was a man. The thought of another man hands on her made his gut tight and a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach.
"Aro are you ok?" Caius asked
"Yes why?" Aro asked him
"You started growling and looked like you are going to kill something" he said with a bit of fear shining in his eyes.
"I am fine, don't fear I will not or try not to kill something" Aro said smiling evilly at Caius, he just rolled his eyes and jumped when Aro laughed.
"You're a fucking mad man you are" Caius said getting up and walking out the room.
"Yes I know, due to old age my young friend" Aro called after him.
"I am not that young I am only a million years younger than you" Caius yelled from the front door.
"Underline the word million and the get back to me" Aro laughed.
"Oh just fuck off, keep me posted and this time don't call me when I getting things started in the bedroom with my wife." Caius said, an evil thought popped into Aro's head.
Once again Aro was left alone in his mansion with his thoughts, but it wasn't his normal thoughts. He couldn't stop thinking about the girl who came to him, there was just something about her but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Jacob's point of view
Jacob sat on the steps of Sam's house lost in his own thoughts; it's been two days since he last saw Bella. He had to leave her because he was changing into a werewolf, Sam told him it was going to be hard but it was to keep her safe. The pack all felt for him and understood the pain of leaving your friends behind for their own safety. But Bella was more than a friend she was like his sister and even a person who he could love in a relationship. Just then the sound of a car pulled him from his thoughts, it was Charlie. Something was off it wasn't football night or fishing either, when he stepped out of his car he knew something was wrong.
"Hay Charlie" Jacob called standing up as he came closer to him.
"Is Sam and the boys home?" he asked Jacob.
"Yes they are is everything ok?" Jacob asked, just then Sam walked out to greet Charlie.
"Charlie how have you been?" Sam asked with a smile
"I'm fine, you?" Charlie asked.
"Yeah I'm fine, is there something I can help you with?" he asked Charlie.
"Yeah have you seen Bella at all?" Charlie asked, Jacob felt himself go cold inside.
"No we haven't, why?" Sam asked giving Jacob a worried look.
"She has been missing for two days now; I tried calling her mobile but nothing. Her friends from school haven't seen her either." He said looking at the ground.
"WHAT?" Jacob yelled feeling panic rising sharp inside his chest.
"Jacob calm down, don't make me send you inside" Sam warned, Jacob took a breath and sat back down.
"I spoke to Bill and he hasn't seen her, I was hoping she would be here hanging with the boys." Charlie said.
"Ok, what do you want us to do?" Sam asked Charlie.
"I don't know, I have put her one missing persons and posters are going out now. Next I'm going to the school and then the parents" he said
"Ok me and the boys will start looking in the forest for her" Sam said.
"Why would she be in the forest?" Charlie asked. Sam and Jacob just looked at each other, they had to face the fact that maybe something got to her and they find a body. It was a fear Jacob would have to face. The best thing they could do for Charlie was give him hope for the best.
"Don't worry Charlie we will find her" Jacob said putting a fake smile on, Charlie smiled back at him and nodded his head.
"Thanks Jake, I better be going" he said walking back to his car.
"Ok, keep us posted" Sam called. Charlie just waved and got in his car and left. When he was gone Sam turned to Jacob.
"Are you ok?" He asked
"I'm fine" Jacob said.
"Don't give me that shit; you're not fine I can see it. Can you handle this?" Sam asked Jacob.
"I can handle this. Why?" Jacob asked getting pissed that he didn't think he couldn't handle it.
"Ok, I believe you but you no good to Bella if you are panicking and can't think right. So if you need help we are here" Sam said eyeing Jacob.
"Ok, when do we start looking?" Jacob asked
"Tonight at seven, meet me and the boys at the edge of the forest" Sam said going inside.
Jacob just took off running he needed to run out his worry and anger, this is all his fault. If he wasn't a wolf he could have helped Bella and made sure she got home safe and sound. He hated that he had to stay away from her because he was changing and becoming a wolf. Jacob ran and ran till every single muscle was screamed in pain, but he kept running. He had to find her and tell her how sorry he was that he couldn't protect her, but something inside him said it was worst then he thought.
Bella's point of view
Bella laid on the floor of the white room in pain, the only thing that kept her room screaming was her Brocken jaw and cheek. She still was puzzled by how she reached out to the man, he was different and strange. When she was near him, she could see the power that he wore like a second skin. Bella could tell this was a man who held power and justice in his hand and he wasn't afraid to use it agents anyone, even her. But he also scared her to death, when he tried to break past her shield. Her mind was the only place she felt safe and a place where she could get away from all the pain. Bella knew that it would only be a matter of time before they ripped her apart body and soul. Bella didn't understand why they were doing this and maybe she never will, but she did hope that she died to escape this hell of pain and blood.
"2151 stand up" the voice came from where ever it came from, Bella just stayed where she was. Soon the pain came from been shocked. She couldn't scream out load because of her jaw but she screamed inside her head.
"2151 stand- up" Bella just closed her eyes and waited for the pain. But it was different this time, it was not a shock it was a noise that hurt her ears and skull. Bella couldn't move her hands to cover her ears because she hurt so much, so she laid there till it was over.
"2151 you will stand –up" the computer voice said, she then the person behind the voice was getting real pissed with her not doing what she was told. Bella laid there and waited for more pain and it came big time. She was shocked and the noise was loader, this time it didn't stop till she pasted out from pain again.
This time Bella wasn't met by cold blackness but a sea of warm creams, browns and gold colours that felt like silk agents her skin.
It all seemed like it was too good to be true, that's when she felt him. That man who she reached out was doing this to help her, if she could cry in her dreams she would. But Bella just laid back and let the feeling of peace flow over her and take her into rest.
hope you like it?
