Hi! :) Sorry for the longish wait, but it needed some editing and stuff, and I've been sick for a week (man, the flu sucks ass!) Anyway, I thought I would be really sweet, and update now, even though I should be very much asleep - seeing as it's a schoolday tomorrow, and it's like 1am? (wtf? it's 01.00 in the night, 'k? ;p)
And also, my BFF - who has a profile in here, too - well she's sick, and seeing as she has told me a gazillion times to move my lazy ass and update, I thought I would, just so she's not bored to death being sick... Love you girl, feel better! :*

DISCLAIMER: Holy. Fucking. Shit. On. A. Stick. I feel like I'm kinda repeating myself much lately? Have I not told you, and then told you again, that I do not, nor will I ever, own Twilight? But oh how I wish. Anybody up for stealing it with me? We could be like, super sneaky and transfer all the rights to ourselves! Anyone up for it? :D

Now, on with the story, I do believe long-ass A/N's are a HUGE mood-killer, but still, I always seem to make 'em... Oh well... Have a happy reading? ;)


Chapter 10: Prisoner

Bella's POV.

I sat on the bed with a laptop Aro had given me. I couldn't write home without them knowing and I couldn't in any other way contact my family. So all I did with it was watching funny videos on YouTube. My favorites are the Harry Potter Puppet Pals videos and Achmed the dead terrorist (If you haven't seen it, I recommend you do: it's hilarious!). Though right now I saw 'Ninja Cat' it was also quite funny. When it was finished I watched Achmed.

"Knock, knock.."
" Who's there?"
"Me. I kill you."
was one of my favorite lines in that video.

When Achmed started talking about Jews and catholic priests I heard a sound that startled me. I looked up and felt my face become tight and cold.

Demetri.

Then I heard a click and discovered that he had locked the door. Why?

I frowned. Then I stood up and crouched, ready to jump at him. I hissed lowly at him and my eyes were flashing. What did he want? Slowly he walked towards me and took a firm grip on my left arm. Then he took the other arm in another firm grip. He looked me deep in my eyes. His gaze was pure love for me; my eyes darkened and became even colder. Then he started move his lips slowly towards mine. Shocked I leaned my head backwards and turn it away from him. But if I my head was any further away from him, it would be rolling on the floor. Right before he kissed me, he whispered: "Don't try on anything, Edward and Nessie would not want to get hurt.,,

But I kept struggling, knowing they wouldn't be harmed. He just lied to defeat me. Then he kissed me, and I nearly exploded with anger when he did that. How could he? He knew I hated him, and yet he is rude enough to kiss me? What an asshole!

Right now all I wished for was to get away from him. To get out of his firm grip on me.

Then he surprised me, by knocking away my feet from the ground. I was on the ground he was on the top of me, and started to rip of my cloths. So that was what he was wanted. But he was not getting it from me.

I screamed and tossed him off of me, into the farthest corner.

He didn't take that well and he wouldn't give up. He knocked me to the ground again, and kept me there. While he started rip of my cloths again, I struggled and kept repeating o myself: "Away from here, away from here, away from here!,,

I was about to turn and run away, when I was sucked into a hole of blackness. It was so confusing. How did I end up here? If this was a 'here'!

I didn't know if there went seconds, minutes or hours, but suddenly I was back in the room sitting on the bed. I gasped for air because it felt like my whole body had been sandwiched by the blackness. I was very confused and surprised and I knew you could see it on my face. Quickly so Demetri wouldn't see it I composed myself just before he turned his head to me. When I looked at his confused face all the anger in me exploded one more time.

"How d- how did you do…?,, he cut off, unable to continue.

"I ran away you filthy, disgusting pig. I'm still a newborn moron!,, I spit out. Swearing at him didn't ease my anger at him. Unfortunately.

"So you think you can fright me to love you? You think you can just come in here, knocking me off of my feet and rape me you disgusting big fat son of a bitch? I despise you! Be glad that I'm outnumbered here. Because if I wasn't I would rip your head off and threw it all the way to mars. Then you could walk around headless and I would beat you until you fell apart. I would tear you apart inch by inch and burn you slowly. And I would do it without hesitation.,, I sounded so angry and wild, dangerous, that he eventually took three steps back. Even to myself I sounded scary.

In the background I could hear Achmed the dead terrorist scream: Silence… I kill you! – and I thought of the irony in the sentence. Yeah, I would definitely kill him. Fucking son of a bitch!

"Now leave, and do never show your ugly face here alone again. I will kill you and you know it. Now leave!,, he did what I said very quickly.

When he was out the door, I started pacing, and a small part of my brain remembered Eleazar pacing back and forth in the living room back home. Home.

I forgot Eleazar and wondered about what had happened before. I had kept repeating away from here and turned around. Then I had disappeared. Knowing i wouldn't be able to go all the way home, I tried to appear on the other side of the room. I thought over and over again: Over by the other wall, over by the other wall. While I kept repeating it, I rotated and felt nothing. I did it again and again. Nothing happened.

Then at the 76th try, I felt the blackness again, and appeared at the other wall. I had done it.

And now that I had done it again, I realized what it meant.

1st: I had another gift.

And 2nd: Demetri would 100% surely tell Aro what had happened.

Oh, oh! Not good. Panicked, I rotated again and again, thinking: home, home, home. But of course I couldn't do that. Yet.

And the thing about Demetri telling Aro, I was right. I heard them coming with very inhuman speed, and hurriedly sat down on the bed with the laptop on my lap. I pressed the replay button, and saw 'Achmed' again.

Demetri stepped in with Aro behind him. I shot him a murderous glare and he looked down.

Aro cleared his throat and began speaking: "Bella, Demetri had some quite interesting news to tell me. He said you disappeared?,,

"Oh, did he? I think he is just too much of an incompetent bastard to see that I actually ran away from him.,, I lied smoothly. I had gotten better at lying, thank goodness!

"Oh, I don't think he is. He let me see the scene, and I must say that I think you have another gift.,,
"You think so too? Then both of you are kinda stupid.,, I said in a hard voice.

"Because I already have my gift. I'm a shield remember?,, I enjoyed very much letting all my frustration out, putting it on their shoulders. They would have to pay for destroying my life.

"Oh yes dear, we remember. And that is also why we have to be sure you don't go anywhere, because we know that you easily can lie to us, since I can't read your mind.,, he said in a tone which got darker and darker for each word. I swallowed even though my mouth was sort of dry right now.

Not good, I'm sure they'll link me to a wall some dark and cold place, even though I wouldn't freeze I don't think it would be pleasant.

"And since you are a shield, neither of us can get around it and we wouldn't be able to get the true answer from you without physically hurting you. And we won't necessarily do that, so please give me the truth. Now,, Aro hissed.

"Like I said: I already have my gift. I can't have another one. Have you ever heard of a vampire with more than one gift?,, I had to keep up my lie, or else I would be dead.

"Give me, the truth,, Aro threatened.

"It is the truth. I ran away,, I kept lying knowing it was my only chance to get out of here without any of them knowing.

"Felix,, Aro called, and when he didn't show up he asked Demetri to go find him. When we were alone, he slapped me with so much force a normal humans head would be trilling around on the floor. It was painful; stung like a bitch. I looked at him with murder in my eyes, but I controlled my feelings thinking of Renesmee and Edward. If I killed Aro now, the whole guard would be on my neck.

Even with Aro having 3000+ years of experience I would be able to take him down, I was almost positive. With my new born strength and my training, I was way more modern than he was. Besides, he never had to fight. He always had other people to do the dirty work for him. But fighting the whole guard I wouldn't be able to. I wouldn't survive with all the vampires in the building.

Then Felix and Demetri stepped inside the room again, and Aro ordered them to grab me. I didn't fight against them, I knew it was useless. So I let them drag me down a lot of stairs and trough some really creepy hallways. They towed me down another 5 stairs and we got to a very cold –even for me- and dark dungeon. There were bars in front of every single cell here and behind the bars a lot of different kind of people sat. I could smell human, werewolf- werewolf?-, mermaid, dragon, unicorn, giant, goblins and I thought I smelled a sphinx too. I had only heard of them, and once again I was surprised by how little I actually knew about the supernatural. But if vampires, werewolves and shape-shifters exists, then why not mermaids, dragons and so on?

I had never smelled these scents before, and that I was able to categorize them was also a huge surprise for me.

We had just stepped over the enormous doorstep, when the massive iron-door slammed. There was a huge echo. Felix and Demetri dragged me to a cell, and on our way there we passed a lot of the other cells.

A unicorn laid on the stone-hard and cold floor with his horn broken in half. He had a silver-like glowing from him, and it looked like he was covered in light. The light he was bathed in looked like an angel's halo. Poor thing.

He lay on the floor gasping for air. His throat sounded dry and even though I had read somewhere that unicorns became thousands of years old, this one seemed fairly young. And he was dying. It made me sad to see how he suffered down here. He belonged in a fairytale with a mate and a lot of foals and elf's flying around him. He deserved to be free.

I hadn't hunted for over a week now, and he smelled so appealing. So delicious. But I had no intention to ever drink blood from a unicorn. They were too magical, too beautiful and innocent; they deserved to live wherever they liked to.

I was dragged forward, passing more cells, but one caught my attention.

In the cell, a beautiful creature sat.

She was crying. But I didn't sound like crying. It sounded like singing. It sounded like she was singing a very sad song, and that the song would make everyone else sad too.

I felt like crying again, just by listening to her "song". It was a very beautiful sound.

She had long hair to her waist, and it was pitch-black with a hint of green in it. She had very blue eyes -ocean-blue- eyes, and when you looked into them, you felt like you were actually watching the ocean. She had perfect features, just like any vampire. Her lips were full and moving with the lines in her unintelligible song. Around her neck, a very simple but stunning locket hung. On the outside of it, a mermaid and a merman were folding their hands and it looked like they were slowly whirling upwards. Around them were sea-plants and little turtles and fish.

From her hips and till were her feet were supposed to be, a long dark-green tail was instead. It was a very weird thing for me to look at because of my all-seeing eyes. There were hints of all the rainbows colors in her tail, and she sort of sparkled in the sparse light, coming from the unicorn.

But something was wrong. Mermaids lived in the water, and she looked like she had been here for a long time.

Her tail was all dried and colorless. Only because of my vampire-eyes, I was able to see the beauty and the colors in it. All the water she still had inside her was coming from her eyes. It dripped to the floor and sent a layer of dust flying up in all the rainbows colors.

On the top of her head a small tiara was placed. I suddenly remembered I still had a small tiara in my hair too.

She looked up when she heard us coming, and shot me a terrified glance. I couldn't tell if she was afraid of me or the guards. Or if she was scared because vampires locked up one of their own kind.

She looked me in the eyes, and tightened her fingers around the locket.

Then I was tossed into a cell, on the opposite side than the mermaid's cell. Then I felt fetters around my wrists and I was left alone. I heard a click, and I knew I was locked up.

I started to cry tearless sobs, and I felt like I was the only one in the world.

Bella all alone in the world.

After a couple of hours I slowly stopped sobbing, and instead I started to sing lowly to myself, responding to the mermaid's depressing song, letting her know we were in the same situation.
