I lied on my stomach in the backseat of the car for the longest time trying to collect my thoughts while the two vampires were sitting in the front seats. They checked to see that I was alive every few minutes but other than that, there was no movement or noise from them and that scared me. I guessed I had been in the car for about two hours when I started to realize the danger I was in. It was also when I started to think about Edward. I was worried about him. Probably more than I was worried about myself. I would rather die than see Edward in pain. And knowing what these vampires had already done, I knew pain was part of their game. Startling and pulling me out of my thoughts was the vampire in the passenger's seat of the car. I sat up a little and adjusted myself so I could pay attention to what he was saying.
"I know you're thinking about your mate sweetheart. Trust me you should stop thinking about him because you're never going to see him again. After you are changed, you are going to belong to us." His voice was calm and a little cocky. Like he knew I wasn't going to be able to win against all of them. "We're going to make a brand new coven and after the others dispose of your mate, they will join us and you will have a new mate. By the way, my name is Alden and my partner over here is Malachi. Don't fret sweetheart. I know you're eager to be one of us but you're going to have to wait a bit longer." Alden laughed boldly at the end of his introduction. By then I was crying again. I couldn't get past when he had said "disposed of your mate".
Edward could fight back right? He would fight back right? I could only hope so. Alice wouldn't know about our kidnapping for a while and even then, if these vampires could block out all of their powers, how in the world would they be able to find us? Surely there was some way to help. Maybe they didn't block other's powers all the time. Maybe Alice could see something right now. I had to try to help her even though I didn't know if it would actually help. I mustered up the courage to speak to the vampires.
"Where are we going?" Alden and Malachi laughed in unison.
"You'll see soon enough sweetheart. We're here." Malachi sneered. His voice was definitely tougher than Alden's. The car rolled to a stop and both of the vampires jumped out before I could even register my surroundings and the door was thrust open. Alden stood grinning at me in a slightly perverted way and it made me shudder.
"Well come on darling." He said it with relish. "We're at the airport. We're taking you on a trip to Canada. You can thank us later." He laughed again and I stumbled out of the car. I thought about running then and there but I knew they would catch me in two seconds. And if for some miracle I got away, what would I tell people? That I was kidnapped by two vampires and taken from my husband who is also a vampire and my family won't know where I am because they can't use their powers since they are vampires too? I saved my energy and followed Alden and Malachi into the airport. Our flight was scheduled to take off in two hours and after checking Alden and Malachi's bags and going through security, we sat in waiting chairs until our flight was called.
We were seated in the very back of the airplane and I was forced to sit in between Alden and Malachi for the trip. I fought back tears as the plane took off, pulling me farther away from Edward and Forks.
The flight was quick and by the end of the night we had found a motel and Alden and Malachi had brought all of their belongings into the room. My stomach was queasy and rolling as I watched them set their belongings down and then turn to look at me. It was that exact moment in time when I realized the game they were trying to play. It was very simple. I was tired, they were not. I would fall asleep soon, they would not. As soon as I did, I would be changed. It was a terrifying thought to know that your life was about to end. I knew I was asking for this, but definitely not in this way. I couldn't help but think that I shouldn't be complaining but the fact that Edward was supposed to be the one to change me, and now he was being held captive somewhere, possibly dead, I was terrified of this world that I was going to be brought into. Alden and Malachi smiled at me knowing that I figured out their plan.
"Bella, sweetheart, don't worry, it's going to hurt for a little while but then you won't ever be able to feel pain again. You'll be the most powerful thing on the planet and with your powers that we know you are going to have, you'll be unstoppable, and you'll be on our side." Malachi sneered through his teeth. I could almost see the venom dripping off of them and I knew he was eager to bite me. He wanted to be the one to do it.
I was exhausted from the entire day and the one thing that I wanted right now, besides Edward of course, was to rest and fall asleep. It was an internal battle. It had to be close to two o'clock in the morning by now and I could only wish that Edward was here to take away these two lunatics and wrap me in his arms so that I could fall asleep. Staying awake would be difficult but I had to stay awake to stay alive. I could not trust these vampires.
