A/N: Thanks 9ud9ir190ne6ad for writing my first review. I don't write long chapters so bear with me.
Chapter 2
When the racing pain finally died down, I was finally able to sit up. I cringed, waiting for the pain to start again. Nothing. I inspected my surroundings. A grey stone room, unadorned in any way, windowless, and small. I felt trapped. I gingerly stepped of the bed, seeing if anything would happen. I accidentally bumped into a desk and knocked a piece of paper off. I heard it falling. Funny, I don't remember being able to hear paper falling? I realised with a start that it was not only my hearing that had been enhanced; I was standing in a semi-dark room. Normally I would have had to turn on the light. I was starting to freak out. I ran to the bathroom mirror. Looking up, I saw a pale girl, with inhuman beauty and shadows under her eyes, I realised I looked just like the monsters in the turret room, and screamed.
Two figures burst into my room. I dimly recalled them as Felix and the white-haired man. The white-haired man spoke. "Bethany, I am Aro. I know you've been through a lot but it's over now."
"What happened to me…" I managed to stutter out. "Bethany, we did you a favour. We gave you immortality, speed, strength and so much more." That was Felix, and he was sneering. I wanted to punch his face. But somehow, when he was talking, I could sense that what he said was true. When Aro was talking, that same sense said that his statement was true to him and false to me. I was freaked out. I didn't understand any of this.
Aro took a step forward and pressed his skin to mine. I wanted to jerk away, but somehow I couldn't. I felt weak and powerless. He withdrew his hand and the strange feeling vanished. "Interesting," He murmured. He smiled at me, but his expression was so alien that it just looked like a contortion of teeth. "Bethany, we are vampires, and we have just turned you into one. I know you might resent this but soon you'll see the benefits." I felt the truth in his words and I felt sick. He had turned me into a monster, one that preyed on defenceless people. It almost made me wish that I was dead.
Aro's Pov
When I had touched that girl I felt the usual mix of emotions. Resentment, guilt and fear. What had shocked me was the feeling of certainty that she had that I had spoken the truth. It seemed her talent was to see past the words and be able to determine what was the truth and what was not. My mind immediately began making plans on how to use her. Although she would be more difficult to convince because of her talent, I had a feeling that she would be worth it. With her talent I could tell which members of my guard were loyal or not and whether the information delivered was true or not.
Bethany's Pov
I was curled up on the bed. I was thinking about what would happen to me. Would I be allowed to leave or would I be a part of that? Suddenly the strange feeling came again and I knew with certainty that Aro would want to keep me here as long as possible. It made me sick. I would have to find my own way to leave, and I would leave.
