Chapter 4

"What are you going to do, shoot me, ha pathetic" I spat at the man trying to hide the fear I held for that evil piece of machinery he had within his grasp.

"I've thought about it little lady. Putting a nice big hole in that pretty little face of yours has been an enticing idea. However I have found after much deliberation a much better use for use, once your of no use to them anymore at least" boss man's smirk sent chills to my very bones. No one has ever looked as evil as this man did at that very moment.

I heard the scatter and shuffling of feet, boss man stood up straight instantly with his arms by his side and his gun back in his waist band, all carried out in a matter of seconds.

"Well well well what is this? You had one job boy, I don't remember saying bring home a stray!"

a dark haired gentleman walks before me addressing the boss man, his voice echoed authority but struck as patronising to the boss man, before I had believed he was in-charge but that moment changed my perspective. The older gentleman with dark hair clearly called the shots here, and boss man was his right hand man.

"What were you thinking now I have to have her watched, wasting everyone's time" the dark haired man continued.

"That isn't required Aro, she witnessed the death of Jenkins however she could be useful. She could help doc if need be, with her experience we would no longer need to attack nurses when we are injured!"

"Shadow we both know that's not the reason you kept her but I will entertain you by letting her remain, however she is your responsibility and I want her broken boy! By any means necessary. A woman is only useful for one thing, if you don't use her I will!" with that threat left looking in the air, the man I now know to be Aro left the room. It wasn't until then that I realised the many occupants of the room had left long ago, perhaps when Aro first arrived. All that remained was bulky and boss man. Or shadow which is what Aro referred to him
"take her to my room Emmett, tie her hands together and attach the rope to the end bedpost, I will be there shortly to deal with her" with that boss man or shadow hmm neither suit him. Left the room, Emmett removes my restraints and leads me through a door opposite to the one I entered from. From there we followed a dimly lit corridor until we reached a spiral stair case.

"Ladies first" Emmett said gently pushing me up the first step, encouraging me to climb the wrought iron stair case. Each step I took climbing the stair brought me closer to a small landing with 2 doors on either side. The one on the left looked like it had never been used, dust covered the door and handle. However the one on the right looks brand new, the door handle was polished, showing zero finger or hand prints. Emmett grabbed my hands already restrained hands and led me into the room, and when I say room I mean an apartment sized room. It was bigger than my flat. There was a large oak sledge bed with metal carvings and designs on each corner. It looked glorious and expensive, next to the bed was matching oak bedside tables however the one on the right side was empty. On the left side was a clock, a glass of water and a gun case, wait a minute a gun case? What the fuck. I started to struggle and Emmett then noticed what had spooked me." God dammit it hush girl that's not for you, will you relax. If we wanted you dead it would of happened already now relax and stop making my job more complicated" with that he gently tugged on the small length of rope he had which caused me to fall right beside the left corner of the foot of the bed. Emmett attached the rope to the metal work in a complex knot then attached a chain that I hadn't noticed to a collar, which he then clamped around my neck, tightly.

"What the fuck Emmett, am I some sort of pet now, what's with the fucking collar." I squirmed relentlessly to remove the rope or collar but all of my efforts were futile.

"You belong to shadow, you are whatever he wants you to be and this is what he requested. Now sit quietly and bit of advice little one. Stop being a spitfire, it will only get you in more trouble. None which will be pleasant for you little one."

I'm not sure how long I sat there staring at the ceiling, were there any windows in this god forsaken prison. The room was pitch black with no hint of light. When I heard the creaking of the stairs. Then heavy footsteps coming towards the right door. Her door. She heard the door open and figure move through the room however she could not see a thing, she felt the breeze as the figure worked his way through the dark effortlessly and turn on a wall light on the left hand side of the bed, the room erupted with a dim amber light causing me to have to readjust to the light. I blinked and rubbed my eyes to try and ease the adjustment, I wasn't till I heard the clearing on a throat that I looked up and saw the most vibrant green eyes. I slowly stood to look closer at the man who stood before me, boss man was incredibly good looking when you actually got to look at him. Standing at approx. 6ft 3 with a muscular shape that was defined but not overly so, you could tell he worked out but not overdo it. An unruly mess of copper/auburn hair was situated on his head that made me want to run my hands through it, where is all this coming from. What the fuck. It wasn't until it was too late that I noticed his evil smirk. That smirk meant bad things for me.

"Dear girl you must be tired please sit" I regrettable have no choice as he throws me onto the bed sheet he has curled up into a sort of dog bed kind of thing by the foot of the bed.

I landed badly on my right arm screaming in pain from spraining the wrist. He crouched down before me grabbing my chin firmly and forcing me to look into his eyes.

"You are mine little girl, and this won't be fun for you if you don't learn your place, understand. I'm in charge, and you will do whatever I want you to do. That is the only reason you are being kept alive so unless you want to die, I would behave yourself." With that I left me on the floor, I heard rustling of clothes to which I assumed he was changing and then the room went dark…after a few minutes I heard his soft snores and let the tears fall down my cheeks. Crying softly.
