Sorry i havn't updated in a long time. I've had lots of school work to do!
Anyway, this chapter sees the introduction of 2 new characters. The first character is a vampire named Serena and i feel i need to explain her power. Serena is able to make someone invisable, but by making them invisable is like making them non existant which means no one can smell them or even hear them. The invisibilty affects you physically and mentally which means in Edward's case, he wouldn't be able to read the invisible person's mind and in Alice's case, because the invisibility affects you physically, she can not see anything.
My other character is Frederick, he's fairly insignificant.
I would just like to thank JasperAndJill for helping me with names. It was her who discovered Serena. I would also like to thank everyone who has stuck with this story so far. I promise I'm planning a happy ending!!
Lastly apart from Serena and Frederick all characters belong to Stephenie Meyer
Ok, I'll let you read now.
Chapter 7 Bella
The sudden loss of all senses was as staggering as if I had come across a human with the sweetest blood. I was advancing towards Edward; I was following his scent as if it were a route on a map. Suddenly, I couldn't smell him anymore. I couldn't hear him brushing against the leaves or see the sparkles glinting amongst the trees. Yet, for some reason, I knew he was still there. What could possibly have happened to me? Could vampires even lose their abilities?
I began to panic, reaching out reflexively with my shield but to no avail. This was something which was happening outside the mind. Was there someone here? I span round in one eighth of a second. I couldn't see anyone and couldn't see Edward, so that small act didn't reassure me at all. I decided then to run towards where Edward should be in the rainforest- maybe he would tell me what was happening- but, before I could even move one step closer, something touched me on the arm. I whirled round, my eyes wide open with surprise. No-one was there. I stared towards the ocean, confused.
All of a sudden, a vampire appeared in front of me- a female vampire with long, jet black hair; that was all I had time to register. Tight hands locked my arms behind my back, whilst another hand went over my mouth. No matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't break free. The sand was being sprayed into my eyes. I thrashed in her arms but it was as if I was in shackles. I was moving, fast.
I knew that no-one would hear my screams, my manic pleas. Edward? Nessie? Jacob? What was going to happen to them? I continued to move, faster and faster. The vampire who captured me was so much stronger than I. My breathing hastened as my capturer grew accustomed to her stride. I could see no place that we were heading for; like I was heading into the unknown. The thought made every muscle in my body tense. I tried to keep my eyes looking for any signs of my family, but it was like I was living a nightmare- a personal nightmare; nobody could experience it with me, nobody was out there.
I had to warn Edward, he had to get Nessie and Jacob, where ever they were. I suddenly wished they had come with us today- at least we would have been together. I didn't know how far away we were from Edward, but I knew that he would be listening. I knew that I had to contact him some how, but I also knew instinctivly that as soon as I let go of my shield, the hope of Edward hearing me would be minimal. Because this vampire was powerful, I was certain that it was she who prevented me from sensing Edward, so maybe she could make you mentally invisable as well. I deliberated quickly, deciding it was worth a try, a possible interval between the moment I let go of my shield and the moment this vampire's power took over my mind, was the only chance I had. For a brief moment, I concentrated completely on my shield, pushing it completely away from my mind. I then directed my thoughts entirely at Edward; my mind had to be entirely open. With all the concentration I could produce, I repeated the same sentence over and over. Maybe he would hear it.
'Get Nessie, get Jacob and run.' If we weren't too late, I knew he would do everything he could to make them safe. Maybe, if he had heard my warning he would understand that they had come for us- finally, and some how, without Alice seeing them. Maybe it was this new vampire whose arms I was encased in, or another Vampire in Italy, but impossible as it seemed, they had created a vampire who could hide them from Alice, and this I was certain, would make escape and rescue difficult, maybe even impossible. My life, surely was… over.
"You won't find them." My capturer spoke, interrupting my silent screaming. "We have them to." She said it with a smile in her voice.
I swallowed back venom. I could hardly open my mouth to speak. What did she mean? We were too late then.
"Where is my daughter?"
"Your daughter. Oh, she's perfectly safe, you don't need to worry. The dog too.
"What have you done with Edward?"
"Edward, Edward, Edward." She sighed. "I've heard all about him. Now, what is he going to do? His perfect little paradise in tatters. It's amazing what we can do if we put our minds to it, isn't it Jane?
As if my life couldn't get any worse. My capturer had slowed; Jane suddenly appeared in front of us.
"Absolutely, Serena." She smiled up at me, imprisoned in the arms of the vampire named Serena. "Nice little island the Cullens have here, so… peaceful. Okay, I'm talking about before we arrived." She laughed. "Serena, let her see the transport. It would be nice if her attention was else where occupied, I really don't like people staring at me." My eyes were piercing her like knives.
Serena dropped me, placing me on my feet, pushing me forwards. At first, it appeared that I was walking towards nothing. Then, all of a sudden, I froze as something appeared a couple of metres away- big, dark and metal. I was about to board a helicopter- impossible.
It was small and claustrophobic. I was pushed into a small corner of the helicopter by someone already on board and tied up heavily in metal chains. It was impossible to break free even with my vampire strength. The Volturi had planned this- of course they would be prepared for everything.
Serena and Jane climbed on board.
My breathing was hastening again and I exhaled shakily. I could barely speak I was so angry.
"Where is my daughter?" I repeated through my teeth, looking around the cabin.
"Oh, Serena, you can show young Bella her daughter now." Jane smiled. She winked at me. I hissed at her.
Just like that, she appeared in front of me. She had tape round her mouth, her hands were tied up in bounds of rope and she was panting, her eyes glazed with tears.
I swallowed. What had they done to her?
"Nessie? Sweetheart?"
She looked up at me with her deep, brown eyes. They bore down into me like a knife, gauging my heart.
I looked up at Jane. "What have you done to her? God dam it."
"Well," she looked down on me innocently "she wouldn't come. What's the point in risking hurting me, when I can hurt her without even touching her?"
"You make me sick."
She smiled in response, shrugging her shoulders. "Shame vampires can't actually be sick then, isn't it Bella?"
"You are not going to hurt her any longer."
"Oh yes. Your little talent. It will come in handy."
All the anger, all the spite in my mind was building up. I could feel the pressure from it. Like a reflex, I pushed my shield out until the thick silver layer covered the whole of my daughter. At least I could protect her mind. Her light was dull; I couldn't bare to think about what had caused that. It was also picking up another light, another presence near to me. Jacob.
Jane, guessing what I was going to ask, spoke first. "The dog's in the back, with the rest of the luggage. I understand that's where the animals normally go." She turned to the driver. "Frederick, lets go, I'm bored. Aro did say he wanted us back some time tomorrow."
The engine started, a mighty raw in my ears- so deafening with my vampire hearing. I looked at Nessie, she was wincing and Jacob too, would surly be extremely uncomfortable. I wished there was something I could do, anything. But as the helicopter took off, and the island became a small dot amongst the other islands scattered in the ocean, I hoped Edward was safe, but most of all, I knew he was down there, absolutely helpless, probably going insane. And there was nothing I could do but wait. Wait for whatever was going to come next.
