I must have passed out before Caius came into the room. I don't remember anything until a burning pain started down in my lower calf. My eyes popped open as a strangled moan of pain escapsed my lips. I lifted my head the best I could to see the blond wolf hating leech standing next to me. He had a pack of matches in hand and I soon realized that was the cause of the pain I'd felt moments before.

Standing behind him was Demetri. Atleast I think that is what they called him. He met my gaze and I thought for a moment I may have seen concern there. I must have been mistaken though, these human eaters did not know the meaning of the world. They cared about nobody.

"It is about time you woke up mutt." Another burning pain, this time on the base of spine, sent me into spasms.

In my head I could hear Edward screaming out in agony. It must have been worse for him since fire was deadly to blood suckers. I could smell his burning flesh even though he happened to be in another room somwhere. It must be the mind connection. The pain he felt was horrible and I wished there was a way to stop it.

Hang in there mind rapist. I will figure a way out of here. Now do you regret getting all mopey over Isabitch? Why couldn't you just be normal and act depressed for a few months? Was she worth all this pain? It was probably wrong of me to take my fustration out on him, but right now the pain was in control. Whenever I felt pain I got mean.

I'm so sorry Leah. His mental voice cried out to me and I couldn't help but feeling sorry for him. He hadn't ment to drag me into this mess. It wouldn't stop me from bitching about it forever once we got out of this situation and back to Forks.

"You have no idea how thrilled I am that you wouldn't answer the questions Marcus asked you. I was hoping I may get the chance to play with for a while. I have always wanted a pet of my own. When I was human, my mother wouldn't allow me a dog. I always had a habit of kicking puppies." The blond leech pulled his leg back and brought it forward to connect with my ribs.

Gritting my teeth, I pushed myself to my knees. "You may wanna watch who your kicking parasite. I tend to bite back."

Another boot to my gut had me face first on the floor once more. "Don't threaten me Fido. Your precious vampire isn't here to protect you. Aro won't stop me either. He wants to know more about you. I am to do whatever it takes to get the answers he seeks."

The torture with matches continued and all I could do was try and breathe through it. I kept telling the mind reader through the link that it didn't hurt that much. He didn't need guilt on top of his pain. Stupid imprint had me caring about his feelings. Why couldn't I just go back to hating him?

The blond wolf hating monster kept asking question after question which I ignored. He may as well kill me. Don't think that Leah. Caius will kill you if he chooses to do so. Please do not give him a reason.

Instead of saying anything back, I lay there on the floor and let myself be tortured. I was to tired to do anything. Since I could feel Edward's pain as well as my own, my body seemed to be wearing out. I did not have endless amounts of strength like a leech. Eventually my body started to go numb.

"Master Caius," The tracker blood sucker, who I had forgotten to be in the room, adressed his leader. "Since your method seems to be unaffective, I think we should try a new tactic. I have heard a few legends about the wolves. When I was in Romania a few decades back, I learned of a story involving female shifters."

My interest became caught when the blood drinking tracker spoke. There were legends of female shifters? If so, why hadn't anyone in La Push heard of them? You would think my tribe would know the legends if any existed that is. For all I knew, he could be lying. Maybe this was some kind of trick to try and confuse me.

Leah, The mind rapist broke into my thoughts. I want you to try something. Focus in on what he is thinking. Maybe there is a way you can read his thoughts. If the imprint has us connected it could make it so not only can you hear my thoughts, but maybe you tap into my mind reading power as well.

That is stupid Cullen. I can't read someone else's mind like you can. I made sure to add a hint of annoyance into my thoughts.

The bronze haired blood drinker also seemed annoyed when he replied. Well we won't know until you try will we? You cannot think this to be impossible Leah. Not after learning what the imprint did to us. We can read eachothers thoughts, so it should not be that much of a stretch to think you can tap into my power.

I growled in my mind because he was right. Stupid leech always had to point out things in a rational way so I couldn't argue with him. Taking a deep breath I tried to focus in on the trackers thoughts. Doing so wasn't easy since I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing. I squeezed my eyes shut and suddenly my mind was flooded with words and images.

Aro wants...Half breed army...Break apart...Leah...Cullen's...War...She will be...Guard dog. My head began to ache from the effort and so I opened my eyes and the connection was broken. I could hear Cullen in my head telling me I had done good my first try.

"You say you heard about this in Romania?" The shifter hating leech had his head tilted in interest. I managed to catch a stray thought from his mind. Perhaps it would end up killing her. "Well Demetri I must speak with Aro. You will stay with her until I return."

It wasn't a question, but rather a statement of fact. He left the room and I was left with only the tracker. I met his eyes again and I could hear Edward hissing in his thoughts. He must know something that I did not.

TBC...

AN: I know I haven't updated in forever, but here you go. It is not great, but I hope you liked it. I am having major writers block with this story. I do have the next few chapters planned though. Let me know what you think is going to happen.
