Sorry i haven't updated! I went on a band trip and now I'm in NC. so I'm on my sister's laptop. oh well, here it goes.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the twilight charecters but i own my new ones that are coming up soon. Plus i own part of the plot.

I slowly regained consciousness. My head was throbbing. I felt the knot on my head. It was huge. Ouch.

i blinked my eyes slowly, taking in my surroundings, my eyes widening.

At least I'm not dead.

I was crouched down and shoved into a cage just big enough to let my sit on my knees. Sitting criss-crossed, I looked around.

Everywhere near me were people in cages. All ages and races, male and female, at least 20 of them. Everyone looked frightened and worn out. beaten and bruised. It smelt awful. The room was dark, the only light coming from a single bulb. They all flinched when i looked at them, backing into their cages. their breathing was heavy and rough. And all of this wasn't the worst.

Standing by the door were two men who were obviously vampires.

I gave a squeak and shoved myself as far back as I could go (about 8 inches). My heart thudded rapidly in my chest, the beats uneven. I'd been captured by vampires. But why hadn't they killed me?

i looked more closely at mt fellow captives. On various parts of their body were shiny, raw, painful-looking bite marks.

These people weren't just here to be killed. They were a lasting, replenishing food source. And now I'm one of them. For the vampires, I'm, I'm... food.

My ragged breathing had just started to slow when it all started upagain as another vampire came into the room. He headed straight for my cage and I backed up against the back again. The man reached down to unlock my door as i clutched the wall, but then he stopped and stared at me, breathing deeply.

"Nice hunting, Delos. She smells amazing." he said, staring at me hungrily. My expression was frozen on either terror or disgust. Maybe both.

"thanks, Gage. I haven't fed on her yet. I know my control still needs work, and I didn't want to kill her. She's been unconscious the whole time. You might want to explain things to her."

"Probally." Gage turned towards me and spoke in a tone obviously meant to be soothing, but instead was simply terrifing. "Iknow you are confused, but I'll explain everything." he said as he reached down to unlock my cage.

I let out a scream as he opened the door and easily picked my up, causing him to freeze in surprise. He cursed quietly and threw me over his shoulder and carried me to another room, a family room and tossed me on the couch. So quickly I barely noticed it, he fastened i chain to my ankle. breathing fast, I scooted as far away as my chain would allow.

"it's no use, you know." came another, distinctly human voice. I turned. A girl about 17 was sitting on the floor. She was dirty and beaten. A cresent-shaped scar on her wrist was still bleeding. As I watched the blood trickle, I couldn't help my reaction. I'm only 13. So I started crying.

Not loudly, like a baby. Just a slow stream that a quickly scrubbed away. One of the three vampires came over and brought the girl back to her room. I faced Gage and tried not to look like a baby. He was watching me appreciatively. then he spoke.

"You already know, don't you? What we are?" I nodded. "How? Who told you?" I pressed my lips together. For amoment he looked angry, and i shrank back, waiting for pain. He suddenly looked calm again. "Oh, well. I doesn't really matter. You won't be leaving here ever anyway."

As he finished talking, Gage walked towards me and exposed my throat. There was no point in struggling.

His teeth ripped into my neck and I screamed, waiting for him to drink, but he didn't. He leaned back, his eyes wild.

"This is real pain, child." My neck was burning. I screamed and thrashed for a moment, then i realized this was what he wanted. Then I did the hardest thing I had ever done. I closed my mouth and held still, staring at him with what I hoped were defiant eyes. he looked startled at first, but then he smiled. "It looks like we have a tough one."

Once again his lips closed around my throat. He drank slowly, and although I fought to keep life, it was feeble, because as he drank, the excruciating pain dimmed. I felt weaker and weaker. Just as i was at the edge of falling into the blackness, he stopped. I stared at him.

"Did you know humans can replenish their blood? If they lose a lot of blood, their cells can replace them. Over and over again."

gage smiled once more as I absorbed this. He motioned with his hand. Delos picked me up and threw me into my cage, where i promptly passed out.


Hope you like it. And review! Please?! I have a bunch of ideasof stuff to add in before she goes to forks, and I need your opinions. Ok, these are some of them that won't ruin the story if i put them in - werewolves, the Volturi, James(well, accually this one isn't an option), and an OC that will feed like the Cullens. Please review!!!
