(A/N) I haven't updated for ages so here's three chapters at once!


"Aro?" I whispered, confused. "What are you doing here?" I asked, still surprised. He looked me dead on in the eyes. Their greedy depths masked by a milky film. His frail, creased skin looking deadly and suspicious.

"Should it not be I asking you that question?" His spine-chilling voice rung out clearly. Then I realized what he meant.

"Oh! Sorry, we must be interrupting. Heidi, let us go." I turned to Heidi and motioned for her to leave. That strange, smug expression was back. She looked at me as if she pitied me. As if I was missing out on something obvious.

"Actually, Didyme." Aro began. I turned my attention back to him. "I was here because I was waiting for you. And here you are! Thank you, Heidi." He smiled graciously in her direction. "Your services are appreciated."

It clicked, then. Aro had asked Heidi to bring me here for some reason. Like a fool, I had fallen into their trap. Now what were they going to do with me? Why?

Quick, even for vampires, Felix and other strong members of the guard appeared before me. I blinked as I took them in, towering over me as if they were in charge.

"Didyme!" I heard that one voice – the one I could not live without. Marcus. His deep, gravelly tone was lined with other emotions – panic, fear, sorrow, anger, hatred, love…

"Marcus?" My voice came out in a nervous whisper as I searched for his face. Aro clapped his hands and suddenly, I was overcome with pain. A terrible, wrenching pain that shot through my arms first, then my legs, body and neck. Worse than anything else – even the transformation. They're killing me, I realized as I felt my dissembled body land in fresh fire. One thought echoed throughout my mind as the flames engulfed me – why?


(A/N) OK, I really didn't know how to finish this. I probably didn't do it very well. It's too rushed, isn't it? Please review!
