Chapter 9

I woke up in a little room. It was so dark, I really couldn't see. I don't know how long I had been out, but I was starving, my head hurt and from what I could tell, I was naked. My hands were chained above my head, and my ankles were chained to the floor.

I tried to break the chains, but even with my enhanced strength, it was no use. I looked up as I heard the door open. A female vampire, with long black hair and slanted topaz eye's walked in.

That's weird, topaz eye's? I thought the vegetarians were good?

"Uh, I see your awake. I had hoped Tanya hadn't hit you too hard. We want you alive, at least for a little bit." The female said.

"Who are you? And what the hell do you want?" I spit at her.

"Ooh, feisty. Haha, yes, well. My name is Irina. Your pack killed my mate Laurent and I want revenge. You, my dear, are bait." Irina said.

Oh, God. They were going to use me to lure the pack in. I knew they would come. I mean especially Paul. Seth and Leah were my cousins. So they would come.

I looked back at her. She had a predatory gleam in her eyes. I needed to distract her.

"So, how long have I been out?" I asked

"About 3 days. Now if you excuse me, I will send someone in later with some food. I need you to have energy for my torture later." She said and then she walked out.

I gulped. I always hated pain. I wonder what is going on back at home.

Back at home (PPOV)

After Mandi took off, we joked around for about an hour, waiting for her to get back. Then I remembered that she didn't' have any clothes.

"Hey, She doesn't have clothes, so she probably headed back to the house." I told them and they waved me off.

As I neared Sam's house I could see something was off. They were all standing in a circle around the front yard. Sam had come back earlier, but now the look on his face was grave. I started shaking. Something was going on, and no one wanted to tell me.

"What the hell is going on?" I growled, trying my best to keep my temper in place.

I looked around and seen one face was still missing.

"Where's Mandi?" I asked them.

Sam stepped forward slowly and the rest of the pack almost surrounded me. My heart began pounding in my chest.

"Paul, Jake was patrolling, and he came across a scent. It didn't match any of the Cullens. See the thing is. At the point where the scent ends, it turns around and blends in with Mandi's. Mandi is missing. She was kidnapped. We think it was the one Bella was warning us about." He said.

I couldn't think straight. The words, Mandi, Vampire, and Kidnapped kept going in circles around my head. I wasn't even aware that I had gone in wolf form, nor that I had taken off for the woods, till Sam ordered me to stop.

I spun around and prepared to rip out his throat for coming in between me and my imprint.

"Paul, you running off isn't going to help. We need a plan. We don't even know where she is. Now, here is how it's going to go. Jake, Collin, and Seth in group one. Paul, me, Quil in group 2. Brady, Jared, Eric in group 3. Embry, Leah, and Jeremy in group 4. Now each take a direction and howl if you found her scent. Let's move." Sam said.

We all split up and headed in our own direction.

All I could think of was Mandi. The thought of her in pain, made a red haze wrap around my brain.

Paul focus!

Yeah I have to focus. Mandi, baby, I'm on my way.

Back to Mandi.

Sometime the next day, which would make this day 4. A very handsome man came in carrying a tray of food. He had Spanish features. His skin tone was the same white as other bloodsuckers, but with an olive tint. He had slanted topaz eyes, but his had a type of kindness in them.

"Hello, I'm Eleazar. I'm sorry about Irina, but she really took a liking to Laurent and when she makes up her mind there is no stopping her." He said.

He pulled up a chair and set the tray on his lap. He then cut off a chunk of the hoagie that was on the tray and stabbed it with a fork and held it to my mouth.

"Come on, young one. You need to eat." He said.

I sniffed it. It didn't smell like poison. I tentatively took a bite and it smells so good. He continued feeding me the whole foot long. I was still starving, but at leas my stomach didn't' feel like it was eating itself.

He got up and left.

I'm guessing about 2-3 hours later, the one called Irina came in followed my the strawberry blond that knocked me out.

"Oh, Irina, I don't know how you stand it in here. It smells like a garbage dump." Tanya said.

I snorted.

"You don't exactly smell like a basket of roses either." I said sarcastically.

Irina glared and back handed me. I made no noise. I didn't want to give them the satisfaction, even though I'm pretty sure she broke my jaw. I turned my head to look back at her.

She hissed and ran her claws from my right shoulder to my left hip slicing me open. I still didn't make a peep, even though there were tears in my eye's.

She kicked my left leg, snapping it and then did the same to my right leg. That time I let out a growl.

She smirked and did a back kick on my chest. I could feel at least half of my ribs break. That time I did scream. I could feel the edges of the bones grate against each other every time I took a breath.

The bloodsuckers smirked and left. I passed out from the pain.

I woke up to howling, growling and wood breaking. I would have yelled but it hurt to breath.

Then the best sight I have ever seen busted through the door. A beautiful Silver Wolf. Paul.
