"Trying to get her killed by family?" Jasper yelled.
Yes I am! Heidi thought smugly. I grimaced but didn't react to her thoughts in any other way.
"Lorianna, get out of here!"
"Jasper what happened to you?" He turned towards me and I gasped.
"They drained us to make us too weak to escape." I was seething. How could they do that? The Cullens were good. They hadn't done anything! My train of thought was broken as my body was slammed against the wall again. I stayed stock-still. Jasper's eyes said it all so his thoughts only confirmed it.
Lorianna, I'm sorry. I'm just so thirsty! I won't hurt you. I swear! I just need you to stay still so I can clear my head. I remained immobile. After a minute he relaxed and let me go. I took a step away from him and sat down.
"Can you get out of here?"
"No none of us can. We've all tried."
"If you got some blood into you do you think you could?"
"Yes." He saw where my thoughts were headed. "No, we are not doing that! You could die!"
"Yes I realize that. If we stay here I'll die regardless. I mean really. Felix nearly killed me three days ago."
"What?"
"I was sentenced to an hour of torture." He looked at me horrified.
"Are you all right?"
"I'm still alive that's all that matters." I told him with a grimace and received one in return.
"So will you drink from me?" I asked him.
"No."
"Oh, you will. Even if it kills me." I grabbed a rock and scrapped it across my arm gasping. A well of blood came up. Jasper's eyes became even wilder.
"Just do it Jasper. I have other vampires to save." He came over and bit my wrist. I bit my lip to stop myself from screaming. He drank for a minute before forcing himself away. I was a little light headed but that was it. I got up and opened Carlisle's cell. They had drained him so mush more. He was skin and bones. He looked terrible.
"You heard me and Jasper talking, right?"
"Yes."
"Then you know what to do." I told him offering him my wrist. He walked over and bit down hard. I gasped slightly in pain. Once he started he went faster and faster. I felt so lightheaded I was going to faint if he didn't stop soon.
"Carlisle, stop." I said quietly. He withdrew slowly. I could see how much it hurt him to stop. It hurt all of them to stop. I sat down with a thud.
"I'm so sorry Lorianna. I should have had better control." He said angrily. All of the anger was directed at himself. He needed to stop.
"Carlisle you are a vampire! It's in your nature. You need more than the rest do anyway. Now go get Esme out." I ordered him. He perked up and ran off to save his love. I left once the cell stopped spinning and went to the next one. It was Emmett. I didn't even get to tell him what was happening He just pounced on me. We fell to the floor with a muffled thud. The others would ignore it. He bit into my neck fervently. I didn't squirm at first. He did need to drink so there was no need to stop him. After he had been drinking for a while though there was a need to struggle. To get away before he killed me. Or before he made it so there wasn't enough for the others.
"Emmett! Let me go!" I hissed at him. I had to struggle for a minute before sanity returned to his eyes. He released me and backed away. With each vampire that bit me I seemed to grow faster and stronger, closer to my old self. Maybe this was a way to counteract that vampire's power.
"We're all meeting in about an hour. Be ready!" With that I left him to his brooding. The next one had Carlisle and Esme in it. Carlisle looked destroyed. Seeing his true love like this really hurt him. If Jason was like this I would be hurting too. I winced at the thought of his name and walked over to Esme. I proffered my uninjured wrist to her. She took it in her mouth quickly biting into me. With Carlisle there to help me she only fed for a few minutes. I left the cell and moved on. This one contained Edward.
"Come on Edward!" I told him as I walked into his cell. I trusted him. I knew he would stop. He grabbed me and bit my hand. He drank for a few minutes before releasing me. I was nearly back to my old strength and speed. After the next two finished I would be normal again. I went to her cell and hurried inside only to stop dead. Her eyes were wilder than the others and angrier. She grabbed my hand and bit down fiercely. I whimpered quietly.
You are going to die! You put my family in danger! I hate you!!!
I struggled in her grip but her teeth were not going anywhere. I was very weak for a hybrid at the moment. My human half's blood supply was far too low. I could barely stand at this point. Edward came into the room and dragged Rosalie off me, after a minute reason returned to her eyes and she ran back over to me.
"Oh, No! Lorianna I am so sorry!"
"No, Rose it's all right. This is sort of my fault." I smiled at her. I left the cell and was looking for Alice when something crashed into me. It must have been her because she started draining me fast. I should have gotten to her sooner. But she was drinking too much, too fast. I was already light headed before hand. Now I was starting to loose consciousness. The others were trying to pull her off me but she was fighting back. In the end Emmett had to just rip her off me. The last thing I remember was the cement coming up to meet me…
I awoke to see all of the Cullens standing over me. I slowly pushed myself to my feet. I wasn't light headed anymore. My body had made enough blood so that I was back to normal.
"Lorianna, I'm so sorry! Will you forgive me? I'll understand if you don't." Alice said. She was standing farther back than the others. Her arms wrapped around herself. Sorrow, regret, and remorse were coming off her in waves. I walked over and gave her a hug.
"Of course I forgive you. You're like my sister. Besides it's not your fault." She smiled at me.
If this is how bad it was with Alice and Rose how did they get Jasper off her? -Emmett
It's a wonder Jasper didn't kill her.- Carlisle
Has she tried to give Jasper blood yet. We should all be there just in case. - Rosalie
"That is it! Stop it!" I hissed at them. They were shocked.
"Jasper, get up here!" I called. He came to stand beside me.
Not smart at all!!! – Edward thought
"There is nothing wrong with my decision Edward!!" I screeched at him.
"Jasper was the first one I offered my blood to. I tried to convince him to just bite me and he refused. I cut my wrist open and he still refused. It took me another minute to get him to bite me. He drank for about a minute and backed away." They were all shocked, so I continued.
"Can the rest of you clam as much? No you can't! Jasper stopped on his own with no help and when I was with him that vampires gift was still at its strongest. It was nearly gone when I got to Esme and Rosalie! This wasn't even his first life style choice and he handled it better than the rest of you! So cut it out!" I ordered them. After they got over their shock their feelings switched to that of pride at Jasper's accomplishment and embracement at their own shortcomings.
