Hey so, I'm alive everyone ... before all of you go and shoot me .. Yes this is an actual chapter. I have one school day left and two exams to write then it's summer vacation for me. My aim for the summer is to have at least 15-20 chapters to this story so hopefully I won't be working too much. It's been a while, I haven't updated for six months and I apologize for that. Life's been really hectic with friends, family, school and life - but who's isn't? You don't have what I've been though in that amount of time but things are starting to get better in life.

To anyone who still reads my fanfiction and still review. You guys are great, some of those reviews make my day and I'm going to continue with writing until god knows when. So watch out for me in the real world. I'm working on a few pieces that will get published in the future.

Now without delay, here's the eight chapter to The Pain Within

Ps. I don't own anything but the plot, but perhaps I'll become a great writer like Stephanie some day. (: Enjoy

The Pain Within

Chapter Eight

Last time with Bella.

"I hear the water getting turned on and feel myself getting lowered into something. What's happening to me? I thought why can't I move?

Suddenly I feel myself emerge into the water, was it cold water or was it hot? I couldn't tell the difference. "

Where am I? I thought out loud. What am I doing here? Why am I here? What is this place? My mind was racing a hundred miles an hour non-stop; ideas and thoughts were flying around. Everything seemed to be pitch black. Could be that I finally died? That I no longer have to suffer Aiden and Charlie's wrath? Do I cease to exist?

I tried to open my eyes, I honestly did and when I finally was able too. I didn't recognize where I was. The room I was in, it was basically black. But there would be random spots where the sun was shinning; there seemed to be boxes and mirrors surrounding me. A television stand was placed in the far left of the room, not too far from me.

I decided to advance towards one of the mirrors; to see if I could catch the reflection of someone or something – to help me figure out where I was. When I reached the mirror, I saw my own reflection. Or at least, it looked like me – but I couldn't be sure. This person, she had hair that was similar to mine – it was a long, wavy mahogany colored hair. She had a heart shaped face with prominent cheekbones and full lips. The more I critiqued and stared, the more I wanted to know. Her outfit was much better than mine by far. This wasn't a surprise, everyone dressed better then I did. But, this mysterious person who was looking at me was wearing dark faded tight skinny jeans, black sleeveless v-neck top that hugged her figure. Who was she? Why do I see her instead of my own reflection? Was the darkness playing tricks on me? Was the person I just saw, a figment of my imagination – the girl I wish I was? The one I wished everyone saw me as? I didn't know what was going on and I was starting to panic. I start to breathe faster and faster, it was if I was hyperventilating like a madman.

Suddenly, I felt myself getting pulled away from the mirror. Something was pulling me to the other end of the room; it was as if an invisible magnetic force was causing this pull. Without knowing was happened I was getting pulled closer and closer to the wall, I tried to move myself forward so I wouldn't end up smashing into the wall. I thought I was a goner and that I going to smash into the wall and break whatever bones I have left – but I didn't. I went through the wall.

Then, I felt myself falling. It seemed as if I was plummeting from the sky, a weird feeling it was. Unexpectedly, I started gasping for air and whenever I open my mouth only water would come in. I thought about it and made a connection, could it be that I never left Charlie's? I knew I couldn't have gone anywhere. Billy and his son Jacob came over for dinner. I was washing the dishes when someone scared me by putting their hand on my shoulder. I turned around and unexpectedly dropped the plate on my foot. I faintly remember the smell of blood, I must have fainted. But how did I end up here? Breathing in water?

I tried to sit up and when I did, water started to spew from my mouth. I kept on coughing and choking on the water I had swallowed. When the water was finally gone, I tried to focusing on where I was.

I try to pull myself up from whatever I was placed in. After several attempts, I was successful. I slowly made my way out of the unknown object and started to walk across a flat surface. I placed my hands around me, trying to find my way around. When I finally found something helpful, I fell. My clumsiness had to go into effect now didn't it? I pulled myself up slowly, not trusting my balance and found that helpful thing once again.

It turned out to be a light switch. I flicked it on and check my surroundings.

I was in the bathroom at Charlie's, and it seemed to be that I was placed in the bathtub filled with water. But, there was something else in the tub that caught my attention. It was blood, my blood.

I knew that if I didn't leave the bathroom that I would become extremely close to fainting again. Not caring about my drenched clothes – I open the door to the bathroom and walked out. I could hear people talking downstairs so I made my way to my room to change into dry clothes.

I searched my room for a pair of sweats and a long sleeved shirt, along with my bra and underwear; once I had found them I tore off my wet, blood stained clothes. I quickly changed into my sweats and long sleeved shirt. I walked over to my bed and sat down.

I let go of everything and just sat there; I was in my own world until I heard footsteps approaching my door. I didn't know who it was, but I didn't do anything about it – there was nothing more me to do. I was sure that nothing worse could happen now – I was already so close to death or what I thought death was, so what's the worst that could happen?

The door to my bedroom opens and the sound of the footsteps were getting louder and louder with each passing second. I then hear a nasally laughing sound and some movement on my bed.

"You're alive are you Bella?" the stranger asks

I didn't answer the mysterious person because I was quite content with where I was. I was in my own world – in a world that nothing horrible happened. A world where there was no Aiden or Charlie; a world of my own.

I suppose the stranger was getting agitated with me because I wasn't answering; because I felt him or her slap me across the face while calling me a worthless bitch. Not reacting made this person even madder because I felt myself getting picked up and thrown somewhere. I could feel the air around me, pushing me towards whatever I was thrown at.

I smiled to myself and finally opened my eyes. I was face to face with the stranger who has been trying to get my attention for the past five minutes. As it turns out, it was Aiden.

"Are you in pain yet my dear Bella?" he sneered

I look at him with a confused expression and my eyebrows raised. He knelt down to my level and twisted my head so I could see the blood slowly staining my sweatpants. As it turns out; when he had thrown me in the air – I had landed next to my desk and the lamp had fell down onto my leg.

I didn't answer him again and it only fueled his anger even more. He repositioned my head so it was aligned with his. He brought his mouth to my ear and hissed a bunch of profanities along with calling me weak.

I flinched and he pulled back with a smug smile slowly appearing on his face. He was glad I was finally reacting to him – why wouldn't he be? He does whatever he pleases and gets away with it. While I get in trouble for the smallest things possible, which isn't fair to say the least – but when has my life been fair?

Aiden took a broken piece of the lamp that laid by my leg and brought it to my shirt slowly. I knew what was going to happen, and I wouldn't able to stop him; I never could.

"This isn't going to hurt a bit Bella; that is if you corporate – and if you don't. Then it will be painful" he said slowly in a husky voice, while cutting my long-sleeved shirt open.

He rips open my long-sleeved shirt once he finished cutting it. He brought his hand to my bra and stared at my breasts before he brought his rough hands over them. I moved my body, trying to get away from his hands; I didn't like the feeling of them on my body. "No," I cried as I tried to wrench away

Aiden removed his hands from my breast and brought them towards my face. He held my face in his hands with an incredible strength.

"I told you to corporate!" he sneered as he slapped me

The right side of my face was throbbing immensely. I didn't know what to do; I couldn't let him get away with it again – not this time. He almost drowned me; he rapes me each day practically. I couldn't go on living like this.

I let out a cry as Aiden pulls down my pants and runs his hands up each side of my leg. He slowly brought his hands up to my face and started to whisper a bunch of things. I didn't hear what he had said because I was trying to numb myself so I wouldn't feel anything later on.

"You're so beautiful Bella." Aiden whispered in my ear.

I just laid there motionless, hoping that it would be over soon. But I knew that he was far from done. My body was aching all over, and there was nothing I could do about it.

Aiden was getting tired of me not responding I think, because it was then where he ripped my bra off forcefully. He then lowered himself to the lower half of my body and ripped off my underwear with his teeth.

"You must feel something Bella. I know you enjoy this, you want it. You need it, you crave it." Aiden laughed at me

At this point, I had nothing on; he had taken everything off and I had yet to stop him. I couldn't he was too powerful.

Aiden walked over to my closet and took out a box, the box itself was plain but I haven't seen it before. He walks over to me and pulls down his jeans and boxers. His erection hits me right in the face. I move my head in disgust but before I knew it. Aiden had my head in his hand.

"Suck it." He demanded

I let out a whimper and shook my head slowly. Aiden got angry and grasped my head into his hands. He bent his head down towards mine and whispered in my ear. "You will please me Bella, or so help you god."

He then let go of my face and moved closer to me. His placed his penis on my lips and inched himself forward, trying to pry my lips open but I wouldn't budge.

I could feel the tears streaming down my face slowly and I just sat there, staring Aiden. I wouldn't do it. I don't care what he ends up doing to me. There's nothing else that he could submit me to. I've been through so much with him. It doesn't even matter anymore.

He let out a loud sigh and moved away from me; leaving me naked on the ground as he walks over to the box and picks it up. He made his way back to me and opened the box. Aiden opened the box and pulled out a bunch of rope and wrapped it around his hands.

At this point I was terrified; I had no idea what he was going to do. Was he going to kill me and go back to screwing Jessica?

Please God, have mercy on me. I thought to myself before Aiden brought me over to my bed. He tied my arms above my head with the rope tightly and he then went to go tie my legs to the sides of my bed.

This is so sick and wrong, what can I do? How am I going to make it through school tomorrow?

I let out a shriek when he took out a roll of duct tape from the plain box and ripped off a piece.

"This is for your own good Bella, as well as mine." Aiden said as he advanced towards me with the piece of tape in his hand.

When he placed the tape on my mouth, that's when I started struggling. I had no idea what he was going to do to me. Was he going to rape me then kill me? Or was he going to have some twisted fun then just leave me here to rot?

I shut my eyes when I see him climbing on top of me. I wished for it to be over with so I could just try and forget if it was possible at all.

Aiden starts running his hands up and down my body roughly, making me wince each second because of the amount of strength he's using. Aiden pries open my legs with his knees and settles himself between them. He takes his hand and begins to massage my breast, hoping that it would turn me on.

I was debating on if I should struggle or if I should let him have his way with me then leave me alone. I decided on the second one, I mean what happens if I do struggle? He'll think something else from it and I don't want that.

Aiden had progressed to positioning himself above me, on the verge of entering me. So many different thoughts were swarming my mind. From what happened earlier to Edward.

I'm not sure how my near death experience and Edward were related but somehow my thoughts ended up on him. There's something about Edward that draws me to him, I'm not sure what it is but I want to find out what and why if possible.

Aiden had entered me just as my thoughts fell on Edward. I wondered what he was doing, I wanted to learn about him, I wanted to get to know him.

Aiden started to thrust even faster, putting all of his weight on me and I let out a cry of pain. He started to moan my name in pleasure and I wanted him to stop.

Suddenly I hear someone knocking on the front door.

"Bella? Are you there? Bella?" a voice echoed
