EPOV
I fidgeted in my seat not even ten minutes after take off. My feet drummed simultaneously causing the cabin to shake.
"Ladies and gentlemen we seem to have hit some slight turbulence. Please return to your seats and put on your seatbelts thank you." I wasn't even paying attention until Alice placed her tiny hand on my knee and gave it a squeeze that caused me you gasp in pain.
"Calm down, we will be there in time." Alice inhaled and then went into her daze.
"I'm going to call Carslie." She stated as she undid her belt.
"But the seatbelt light is-" with that, the light went off and Raiden let his mouth make an 'oh' shape as Alice tapped her temple.
"How are you handling your lust?" Raiden asked casually while putting his hands behing his head..
"Fine, and you?" I replied.
"Blood lust is not what I was talking about…" it took me a moment but I clued in and ended bent over my knee's with my head in my hands.
"How long have you remembered." I inhaled deeply and sat up.
"The night you were changed. It all hit me. It was a throbbing pain and I remembered." I closed my eyes as I shuffled through the memories in my mind until Raiden spoke again.
"That's a relief. It was starting to get weird." Confusion washed over me as I looked over at Raiden. His head was laid back on the headrest smiling up at the ceiling of the plane cabin.
"What do you mean? I thought you would be… upset or something…" Raiden sighed and turned in his seat so he was looking directly at me.
"I never liked her Edward… not in that way. I thought if you realized that you felt jealous, it might spike some memory trigger. Or at least make you realize that you had feelings for her even though they were slightly buried. You always loved her, you never stopped; you just simply forgot."
He stated it so matter-of-factly, I raised my eyebrows in surprise.
"How were you so sure? How did you know that I remembered?"
"It was just a feeling. I could just tell. And you haven't been keeping your newfound feelings a secret… but I just knew you remembered… I just looked at you and I knew it, 100 percent. Just like I got a feeling that Ember was screwing us over. It was like... a feeling in my gut. Like I could look at someone and know… everything. Like watch…"
A flight attendant came walking up the isle and stopped by our chairs.
"Could I get you two anything?" she smiled flirtatiously and flipped her hair slightly.
"No were good, Raiden?" I turned to look at him and he was staring at her. I could hear her heartbeat speeding up intensely.
"Nope."
"A-all right…" she mumbled dazed as she stumbled away. Raiden let out a faint laugh and he rolled his eyes.
"I don't get it."
"She's not used to rejection. Ever since she got a chest in grade 7 guys were after her. She never cared about feelings she just liked the attention. She had 3 boyfriends at once in grade ten and still can't stick to one guy."
I stared at him my mouth opened.
"I can see everything about a person. Their secrets, dreams…Skeleton's in the closet…"
"Your gift…" Raiden shook his head.
"I see it as more like a burden. I get to judge people before knowing them, I… see things, some times horrible things, and I don't know what to do. Do I ignore it, or do I play Batman and deliver justice. I'm scared to look people in the eyes Edward."
I sighed and leaned back in my seat.
"When we get back we will talk to Carslie… he could help you learn to control it. He helped me with my mind reading…" Raided just nodded as we drifted to a slight silence.
"Did you tell her?" I bent my head and shook it
"I tried to kiss her but…"
"She passed out and you kissed her chin?"
"YOU KNOW WHY DO YOU BOTHER TO ASK!" I exclaimed, embarrassed. Raiden just shrugged
"Pretending to be normal I guess. Or I just wanted to see your reaction." Raiden smirked and I punched his shoulder just as Alice came back.
BPOV
I woke groggy, nauseous, and disoriented. My eyes were thick with sleep causing me to take a while to focus on my surroundings.
The room was an off white and had blood red curtains with a gold trim. The color made me feel more nauseated. I groaned shutting my eyes and rolled over to my side.
"Magic has a funny taste in the morning doesn't it?" I opened my eyes in shock. Before I could scream I was on my back. Jeremy used one hand to cover my mouth, and his body to keep me still.
"Shhh Bella, this is the last place with the last… people you would want to help you. As for us," I shuddered as he swept his hand across my face and down my neck tracing my deep neckline. His lips grazed my ear.
"You don't have to worry, too much, we have other way's to sustain us, blood is merely a dessert and yours seems… Sweet." He whispered as he bent his head laying a kiss on my neck. I ripped my head away and my mouth was free.
"Then I hope you get a fucking tooth ache." I growled. Surprising myself with the venom in my mortal voice. Jeremy was still on me, but he raised himself so he was looking right down at me; Hands holding my wrists by my shoulders now.
"Such a quick tongue you have, I would like to take it for a test drive…"
"Get off m-" Jeremy put his mouth over mine roughly as I squirmed. He nipped my bottom lip and I could feel the blood dripping.
Amoveo
The word echoed through the room and I felt the unwanted wait lift off of me. Within seconds I was sitting up in bed wiping my mouth a crash was heard and I looked up to see Carter on the bed in front of me crouched down. His hand was extended and I peeked under his arm to see Jeremy against the wall.
Jeremy growled and extended his arms as he went to say something; but before he could Cody stormed into the room with Jasmine in toe.
"ENOUGH!" he growled, his voice and eye seeming older then his looks. Jasmine rushed over to her brother placing her hand on his chest as he glared at Carter.
"We ARE NOT to use our magic on each other. Have you forgotten what happened last time?" Jeremy and Carter calmed immensely at that.
"He knew the rules Cody, he shouldn't have gone near her."
"I don't. Care. I will treat this as another Emma if this happens again." Carter tensed at this as Cody motioned for Jeremy and Jasmine to leave. Once they left and the door shut I let the tears go silently. Carter kept his back to me as he got off the bed and hit the wall with his fist.
I could taste the blood now and could feel it dripping down my chin. It was starting to throb, and the nausea was getting to me. I cried.
"Shh I'm sorry, I should have been here." Carter ripped off part of his shirt and held it to my mouth as he lifted me up carrying me to the bathroom.
Sitting me on the counter he turned on the water and soaked a cloth. I continued to sob while he wiped me clean of blood and inspected my lip. Once he stopped the bleeding he pulled me off the counter and hugged me tight.
"It's alright, everything is okay, I won't let him hurt you again Emma I promise."
"Emma?"
"I said Bella…"
"N-no you s-said Emma. Who is she?"
"Not now Bella please." I nodded and pulled away rubbing my damp cheeks dry.
Carter led me back to the bed and I sat down on it.
"I'm sorry," Carter was avoiding my gaze.
"For?"
"For everything, invading your life, them putting the curse on you, this place." I shook my head and pulled Carter down to sit beside me.
"You couldn't do anything, even if you weren't here, they still would have come for me, they still would have cursed me, and Aro would still want to meet me. Don't appologise."
"Who's Emma?" I asked after a long silence. Carter sighed and ran his hands through his hair. He stood slowly and walked over to the window. I watched his motions from behind, studying his body language. After a while he spoke.
"She was the person I love. The love of my life."
"What happened?" I asked quietly and tentatively after another pause, Carter spoke.
"I met her when we joined the Volturi. She was a Familiar like us, very old, but still forever young, and forever beautiful. I remember when we got to Volturi and Aro brought her to meet us, she was to show us around. I remember my exact feeling I felt when I saw her. Same feeling I felt when I saw you that first day at school; You look just like her, and your personality was just like hers. I don't even know why she was with the Volturi. She was too kind to use any of her powers to do the Volturi bidding. But she stayed with them, completely free." He paused to take a deep calming breath before continuing.
"One night I left her to go take care of something for the Volturi. When I came back, Jeremy was… on her… just like tonight. and I snapped we got into a he fight and once the Volturi guard broke us up, we were tried. It's a familiar rule that if you use your powers against each other, the head, or the Volturi in this case, would… fix the problem. Well since I cast the first spell, they were going to eliminate me that night.
"She came into my room and we spent the night together. I woke up and she wasn't there. I looked at the clock and my elimination was to start 2 minutes ago. The Volturi were always punctual. I got up to figure out what's wrong. Something didn't feel right. Infact it felt very wrong.
"I got to the elimination room a second to late. Emma had sacrificed herself to save me. And I was the last thing she saw before she died."
