Ok, sorry this is short, but technically I'm not supposed to be on the computer. So I'm going to hurry up and post this. Sorry for any mistakes. You know the deal first five sneak peek and get to ask a question, if I get 10 reviews, I will update tom if possible.

Bella:
I don't know which came first, the blinding pain, or the waking up. All I know was that it hurt, a lot. Then a tight tugging around my wrists drew my attention to the rest of my surroundings. I opened my eyes an infinitesimal amount, but it didn't fool Demetri.
" Ah, so you are awake, did you learn your lesson?" I paid less attention to his words as I did to the fact that he was tying me to a chair.
" Now you are going to stay here, I wont be here, I must go and deal with the matter of your lover Edward, but trust me if you try to leave, I will find out and find you."
" Owww," I complained. The knots were sooo tight that I couldn't feel my hands except for that pins and needles feel.
" Oh." Demetri's mean façade faded and was replaced by a look of placation. He began to loosen the knots a little. I could not figure this vampire out, but it didn't matter, it had given me an idea.
" It's still a little tight," I whined putting a look of pain upon my face. He loosened it a little more and I kept my hands taunt as he tested to make sure that it would hold.
With one last tug of the ropes and an 'I'll see you later', Demetri swept impressively from the room.
I counted to 100 and then with a quick twist of my hands, I slid from the seemingly tight ropes. I allowed myself a quick triumphant smile, before moving on to step two of my plan.

Edward:
" I'll see what I can do," she had murmured coyly, before turning and reentering the door she had come out of.
It hadn't taken long, well at least not long by human standards, which I was well versed in thanks to her. In vampire standards, it was an eternity before she returned. In the interim, I paced until I thought I was going to wear a hole in the cobbled path.
I had almost given up hope for an audience, when Gloria, I found her name from her thoughts- though Gloria wasn't her real name, she had changed it from Doris to sound more majestic- returned.
I looked up expectantly. " Well?"
Aro would be pleased to help you, he said that any son of Carlisle's was more than welcome and wished for me to apologize for your previous treatment." She sent a meaningful glance at Gary.
I tapped my foot impatient, and she started back in the castle with me hot on her heels.
Ninety-nine, one hundred, I counted the steps until at last my Gloria stopped. The innocuous wood door that slid out from behind paneling couldn't be opened fast enough.
Surprisingly the cavernous room, perfectly round like a castle turret was lit brightly with sunlight. Two stories up, long window slits threw thin rectangles of bright sunlight onto the stone floor below. There were no artificial lights the only furniture in the room was several massive wooden chairs like thrones that were spaced unevenly, flush with the curving stonewalls. In the very center of the circle, in a slight depression, was another drain.
The room was not empty. There was a group full of people or vampires I guessed, all grouped around a throne which one vampire was sitting in.
"Edward!" A voice rang out joyfully.
The man who spoke wore long robes. It was pitch black and brushed against the floor. For a moment, I thought his long, jet-black hair was the hood of his cloak. I was astonished as he floated closer and I could see his face. It was not unlike the unusually attractive faces that surrounded him (for he did not approach me alone; the entire group converged around him, some following, and some walking ahead of him with the alert manner of bodyguards). I couldn't decide if his face was beautiful or not. I suppose the features were perfect. But he was different from the vampires beside him as they were from me. His skin was translucently white, like onionskin, and it looked just as delicate- it stood in shocking contrast to his long black hair that framed his face. His eyes were red, the same as the others around him, but the color was clouded, milky; I wondered if his vision was affected by the haze.
" I heard you need our help."
I was just about to respond when a desperate scream rent through the air.

Bella:
"There." I tested the final knot with my weight. Well it was now or never. I took a deep breath and carefully climbed out to the edge of the window. Keeping in mind what people in movies did while rock climbing and praying to God and whatever other deities were out there that my clumsiness would not get the best of me and leave me a Bella pancake on the floor, I slowly began to move my feet.
" Don't look down, don't look down." I repeated the words as a mantra. That was until I accidentally began to look down.
I bit my lip to block my scream out, but on the inside my screaming could put any heroine in a horror movie to shame. I somehow managed to calm myself down.
" It's for Edward," I told myself. I tiptoed another step, clinging with all I had to my lifeline of bed sheets and rope. That was when I felt the taunt rope suddenly go slack. In the time it took my shocked mind to catch up, I was already in free fall mode.
" Ahhh!" I began falling so fast that the wind choked off my petrified scream.
There it is, let me know what you think by clicking that little button below.
