My mind was in shambles by the time they put me down to rest. "Rest" being the operative word because I could not do anything with a bunch of oversized, burly, and possessive vampires touching me all over. I can feel their eyes on me, violating me and for a virgin that is saying something. Every time I take too long to breathe cold hands almost attack me to see if something is wrong. I sighed for what felt like the twentieth time that night.
"Bella you are pushing your limits. When we tell you to do something we expect you to do so immediately. We have other ways of making you fall asleep and will probably use them in the next twenty minutes. Fall asleep, now." The demand came from Jasper. He was the first one to mark me as his. Then Carlisle marked me followed by Emmett and Edward. They told me their names after they had calmed down, which took quite some time believe me. After that they tried to act civilised. Tried…
I closed my eyes, trying to slow down my breathing, but the more I try the more they stare. Leaving me alone was not something they were planning on doing in the next few years. They are so scared that if they looked away for just one second I might disappear forever, and to tell you the truth I wish that would happen. Sadly in my opinion miracles only happen to people who do not deserve it. Like the Cullens, for example. What have they done to deserve a second chance at happiness? Nothing… well almost nothing. They have caused a decrease in the number of female deaths but I'm pretty sure there could have been other ways to do it instead of kidnapping them and taking them away from their loved ones.
Involuntarily I sighed again. I am uncomfortable with all these vampires around me and scared about everything. I act calm but on the inside I am exploding with anxiety. Nobody knows what happens to females once they get taken. The vampires do send out the amount of females they had with them every week to calm down everyone. Rumours have spread that they found a cure for the cancer but as far as I'm concerned they are just rumours. Not that I need it… yet.
"Jasper just use your power and force her to sleep already," Edward whispered.
"I am scared that if I do that I might somehow hurt her Edward. I don't want to cause her any unnecessary pain."
"I can hear you, you know," I said opening my eyes to glare at them.
"Bella, please stop acting childish. If you sleep you will feel a lot better in the morning and in doing so will give us some peace of mind. We really need to discuss some things that are not suitable for your ears," said Carlisle, who could probably be described as the most rational out of the four. He was also the first person to help me after being bitten. He explained to me that the only way for me to turn into a vampire was if I drank all of my mates blood and then, after I scrunched up my nose, informed me that it would be a while before I was turned because I had to at least produce two daughters, which made me feel so much better. Please note the sarcasm.
"How can you discussing me not have anything to do with me, and don't you dare deny that is what you are going to talk about."
"Because Honey whatever decisions we make surrounding you will be made by us and thus your opinion does not matter in the slightest. We already know that at every opportunity you will try to escape and we have to implement safety measures to ensure that you will not be able to leave us," Edward replied looking straight at me. "Besides you lost all your free will when you decided to run away no matter how idiotic that was. Do you have any idea of what could have happened to you? You should be grateful those hunters found you. There are far worse things in this world than vampires. My goodness you could have been…"
"Edward, stop, right now." The order came from Emmett who, surprisingly, had not said much since he marked me. "You are scaring her and we do not want her finding out more than she needs to. For all you know she could use the information against us."
"What information." I asked becoming slightly agitated and exited. Maybe there was a way out of this hell hole.
"Bella you have five minutes to sleep. Forget everything we said."
"But…"
"Now Bella." Carlisle said giving his final warning. Feeling exasperated I decided to humour then, for now at least. Besides I was very tired anyway and the bed was so comfortable.

I posted this about 3 years ago under the name Domsperlover. I have completely forgot what email it is connected to and what the password is. I know it has been a long time and I will not make excuses. I will just give a reason: for the last three years I have been working my butt of to get excepted for medicine here in South-Africa, but know I am almost done with high school (just end exams left) and so I will give this story the attention it deserves. Thank you for everybody who stuck with me and to all the new people :)
