Chapter 21

Sarafina's POV

For the first time in over a decade I was cold.

My body trembled in the icy wind that blew passed the obscurity of my surroundings. I not only shook with coldness but with fear. I could not see anything. All my senses other then hearing were of no use to me now. My ears were the only thing of value to me in my whole self. As long as I could hear everything and anything around me, I reminded myself I was still alive.

My arms felt heavy but they wouldn't fall to my sides. They hung from the stone cold wall that my back laid upon. The wall was my bed, my support when things seemed endless for me. My wrists were stuffed into metal chains that connected to the forsaken wall, and my arms dangled over my grieving head.

I opened my eyes. Still nothing was visible to me. I sat propped on my legs as they folded under my wavering body. My arms ached with soreness from an uncomfortable angle that it's been in. I've been cooped up in this room for longer then I could force myself to keep count. Each day I tried to pull my arms out of the chains; to be free and runaway where I couldn't be found. And each day I would fail.

I was so weak from the lack of blood that I had not consumed. I had no energy. I couldn't break free.

I thought about how I promised Carlisle that I would return back to his house. And each day I would wonder if Alice and Jasper made it back home? If Esme was okay? If Edward was now residing in the Cullen's house? If Jacob was still waiting for me?

But surely they must've known something went wrong. Surely Alice and Jasper had told everyone my misfortune. Surely Jacob would've bombarded the Cullen's with questions with irrational remarks as to why I had come back yet. Surely Edward, against all odds, would've came looking for me. But they didn't. No one did.

"Why hasn't anyone came yet?" I whispered to myself, my voice sounding hoarse.

I was all alone. This was the worst pain I had ever felt. No one was here for me. I was just a needless pile of mass that had no use in this world. Perhaps if Giacomo was still alive my purpose in life would not be for nothing.

Soon it came to me. The day Giacomo died, I had died as well. Only, my mind controlled my body while my soul wandered hopelessly. I was just a burden to everyone's life now. I had no use to anyone.

So why am I still here?

Third-person POV

In the huge abode of the small town of Forks were seven family members, all gathered around talking amongst each other, while their fire place crackled erratically.

The head of the house, Carlisle sat on his white leather couch with his wife, Esme with smiles shining on their pale faces. Carlisle wrapped his arms lovingly around his wife and quickly laid a soft kiss on her cheek. Esme returned the gesture and snuggled her head warmly into her husband's chest.

The flawlessly gorgeous one, Rosalie, sat on the arm of the couch, laughingly merrily along with family. On the floor, below her was Emmett. A childish grin claimed his face as he shared the joyful moment with his family. He leaned his head back and stared admirably at his mate, his eyes glistened with every second as he gawked.

Slouching on the loveseat, Jasper stifled a laugh, soaking in all the blissful vibes that surrounded him. He was more calm…more relaxed. Soon a tiny figure hopped on his lap and laughed ecstatically, enjoying the moment. Alice, who was bouncing with joy, propped up on her mate's lap and stared at her big brother.

And leaning against the fireplace mantel was Edward. An impish grin spread from ear to ear. He lowered his head and stared at the floor and then glanced at each of his family members. Everything was perfect now.

"So tell us Edward, what's her name?" Emmett boomed.

Edward inhaled deeply, collecting everyone's expressions, "Bella" he breathed.

"The name is beautiful, darling" Esme cooed.

"She's beautiful too, isn't she Edward?" Alice exclaimed, hinting that she had seen the past events in a vision.

Edward smiled bashfully and nodded, "She is"

"Nice! I already know I'm gonna like her" Emmett gave an approving nod towards Edward. Rosalie shoved Emmett's head grudgingly and rolled her eyes.

"You met her in school, I believe?" Carlisle said, smiling at Edward.

Edward nodded, "She's in my biology class" he shuffled his feet and then sighed, "Things are still…uneasy when I'm around her…"

"Don't worry, Edward. Everything will work out" Alice assured. Edward smiled and nodded at his perky sister. He was glad that he had her, she was the most understanding.

Alice smiled enthusiastically at her brother and stared out the window in a daze. Since the day Edward came back to the family someone was always on her mind.

Was she okay? Was it too late? She shook her head and looked back at her family. Everything was fine…right?

Sarafina's POV

I rustled around, my chains clanged against the wall it was attached to. I tried to stand up but my legs wobbled and my knees would slam to the floor. I pressed my back against the wall and tried to slide my way up, hoping my legs wouldn't give out. My arms laid stiffly by my side as I tried to control my breathing while I stood.

I closed my eyes and remembered the first day I ended up here.

:Flashback:

My eyes were covered with some sort of cloth that was tied around my head. My arms were cuffed and laid behind me. I was being hoisted by strong arms. I heard faint mumbles and whispers.

I had been thrashing since the first time I had been tied. My eyes were covered since the first moment I felt someone, so I had no idea who I was dealing with. I had shouted profanity at the beings that were around me but it became useless after no one even made the slightest grunt.

The hands that held me were rough and hard. Harder then any matter that was put on this earth. They felt uncomfortable and unwelcoming of my arrival. I felt a body next to me as we walked. I assumed that someone was carrying me on their side and held me as if I was a sack of garbage

"What should I do with her?" The body next to me rumbled.

"Dispose of her" A voice slithered the words out. The sound of the voice seemed to be coming from straight ahead of where I was being held.

I squeezed my eyes tight, despite the fact that they were already covered, and prepared myself for my demise. I let my head hang loose and dangle over my held body.

"Wait!" A softer voice piped up.

I lifted my head and tried to turn it to where the voice came from. "We could put her to good use" the voice from before stated.

"Are you serious? This trash?" A voice exclaimed. The words stung and I cringed in response. The body that held me tightened their grip as a way to keep me from moving in the slightest.

"Everyone with a gift is special. Now, this one has a unique talent that would work to our advantages" The softer voice said with a hint of slyness. This voice soon became my soothing sound. He was the one who was saving me from my termination.

Suddenly the person holding me, let go of their grasp on my body. I plopped to the ground with a loud thud and I groaned in reaction. I staggered as I moved to sit up but my legs wouldn't move correctly. I twitched my knees to help me prop up and slowly with the help of my elbows I was able to kneel.

"You take it then" A sniper voice jabbed.

Soon the room became quiet. The only noise was my faint breathing that I couldn't quite control. I thought I was alone in the room, I could hear nothing and my sight was being blocked with the piece of cloth.

Then I felt a faint waft of wind and some sort of fabric, whip my face in a breezing motion. I quivered, expecting the worse. Maybe a punch in the gut to black me out? Or a kick in the ribs?

"It's okay" A thin boney hand touched my bare cheek. "You're going to be fine" The soothing voice said. I felt my lips twitch and the sides slowly formed upward. Suddenly I began to feel lightheaded and instantly I fell into a deep state of unconsciousness.

That's when I ended up here. In a room that I had no idea how it looked like. I had assumed many times that I was locked up in a chamber, I was not surprised if I was right. It felt so cold where I was. That was the first thing I felt.

Days had past that soon became months. Perhaps even a year or two. And still I had not heard the voice that had soothed me, again. I felt a strange sensation in the pit of my stomach. The voice had been wrong. I was not going to be fine.

:End of Flashback:

I slid my self back down on the floor. My legs stretched out in front of me. My arms dangled over my head once again. I had no strength left, no will.

"Why hadn't they just killed me then and there" I grumbled tiredly.

Being chained in a room of darkness was not even the half of it. Every few days footsteps would be heard and a loud creaking door would open. A beam of light would shine through but then would be hidden.

Someone else would be in the room with me. But no voice would be heard. We would both stay silent. Both of us would not breathe and just wait. Soon I felt myself in a different surrounding. In here I could see but my vision, for some reason, would only see things in red and black. I would look around but my body was still chained.

A body with a black cloak covered from head to toe would appear. Suddenly I felt heat emerging from underneath my feet. As I would look down I could see flames rising onto my body. I could feel the burning sensation engulf my entire body. I would scream and scream but nothing would change. Soon I began to realize that my body wouldn't just disintegrate. Yet I still felt pain.

I had counted hours and hours passing and still my body was covered in the crackling red flames, and my voice still had the energy to scream. After the black cloak decided it was enough we would suddenly return back to the dark room. I would be gasping for air. I would touch my arms and legs but nothing seemed to be burned.

Then I realized that I was put in some sort of torture trance. It was an illusion. I was dealing with a being that had the gift to bring me to another three dimensional world, where I could feel great pain but I would not die. I would be stuck for hours of pain and I couldn't do anything about it.

Usually that was my only visitor. The mysterious monster that would take me away from my darkened surroundings to a torture arena. And each time would be different. It was horrible.

That was mostly why I was tired and hoarse. And every day I wished that maybe the pain would be too much and I would just give in, but my body still didn't give up.

I leaned my head back onto the wall and took in a deep breath. There was a pang of pain that stung my chest but I didn't know what it was. Everything was out of my knowledge and grasp. I tried to enjoy the quiet loneliness since that was my only time of peace.

Soon I heard somebody. No footsteps were heard but a faint mumbling was echoing. I opened my eyes, even though it was useless since the darkness would not allow any vision. I gulped and cringed in the thought of what the cloaked being had for me today.

The door slowly creaked open and I saw the bright light again. It didn't disappear right away like it usually did. I stared at it wearily, something about it made me feel a little hope inside of me.

"Sarafina?" A voice echoed.

I slowly looked up. My eyes were only slits as I stared at a shadowy figure. My eyes still hadn't adjusted to the low beam of light so I was still in a state of blindness. Was this the monster? Was he actually communicating with me after all these years?

"Come with me, child" The voice exclaimed with some authority.

I stared despairingly at the figure. Was he serious? I was chained! How was I to move?

Suddenly my arms dropped from where they hung and laid stiffly on my lap. I stared at my free arms and then back at the figure. Was he the one that I had been waiting for?

"Come" The voice stated again and then moved from my sight. The low beam of light still shone through the small crack of my slightly opened door. I leaned my back against the wall and hurriedly pushed myself up, steadying myself with my hands.

After all this time I was finally getting out. I took a step forward and I almost lost balance. I stared ahead of me and knew that my savior was waiting for me.

Was I dreaming? Did I die and go to the after world? Or is this really…real?

With slow steady steps I reached the door and I reached out to it. I held onto it tightly and slowly stepped around it. The low beams of light filled the narrow hallway. I turned my head to the side and saw a huge figure standing beside me, waiting.

"Let's go" The voice demanded.

I stared at the figure. He wore a black cloak and his face was unseen. He quickly glided in front of me, it seemed like he was actually floating. I followed quickly behind as he led me out of the narrow hallway.

Soon I heard noises…voices. I perked my head to the sound of the voices. We reached some sort of front desk and walked past it. A friendly face smiled at me from behind the desk. I couldn't find the urge to smile back so I turned away quickly, staring at the black cloak.

Again the voices sounded. Soon I saw a group of people….humans, being led down a different hallway. I felt myself pant with hunger but I quickly shook my head, trying to remember my diet. But it didn't work. I was still hungry; I hadn't eaten in what felt like ages. I stared quickly at the cloaked man and then back at the group of people walking away. I knew that I could feast on one of them and then return quickly.

"No" The figure in front of me echoed.

I clutched my fists and listened. I didn't want to take my chances disobeying.

In minutes the mysterious cloaked man entered a room and I followed in. It was a large room. With carpeting and large windows that reached the ceilings and had long red curtains. I got a better view of the man that had led me here; he had long jet black hair.

I examined everything around me. There were rows of seats on the sides of the room and a long desk at the very end. Two other beings in long black cloaks stood, waiting.

"So you've returned…with this?" one of the voices snapped. This vampire had long white hair and ruby red eyes.

"Now, now Caius" The other vampire, with black hair spoke.

"Aro, are you certain about this? To make her one of our guards? Is she willing?" The one named Caius asked.

Aro turned to look at me and then waved his hand behind him and soon a tall girl vampire walked in. "Chelsea" he simply said.

The girl, Chelsea, walked in front of me and stared at me blankly. There was a chilling silence in the room.

I felt strange. I furrowed my brows and looked up at the one they called Aro. I felt like I really needed him. Something pulled me closer to him, as if he was something important to me. But since the moment he touched my cheek when I first arrived, I knew he was the only one that mattered to me now.

"She's faithful. I didn't need to do much but she has a bond with us now" Chelsea stated.

Aro nodded and looked back at the other two. "Marcus?"

I followed Aro's glance and stared at the man with the black hair, "I feel it too. She is indeed tied to us now"

I felt a somewhat warm feeling within me. I was now sharing a bond with them? I was tied with them? What were these two talking about?

I looked up at Aro and felt the warm feeling rush through me again. I felt like a puppy looking up happily at his master. Yet for some reason I still felt alone.

Aro looked down at me and opened his mouth to talk but the white haired man, Caius, stepped forward. "If she is going to be part of us she must know one thing…" I turned to look at him and stared intently, "The reason you are here is to kill" Caius spoke dramatically.

My body froze as I stared at him incredulously. I lowered my head and nodded. I shut my eyes to be surrounded in the darkness once more.

"Welcome, Child"

Time has passed….

Alice's POV

Something…something was wrong. It had been a few short years since Edward had introduced Bella to the family. She was sweet and knew about us. Bella and I became very close, I already thought of her as a sister the moment I met her. She had always wanted to be one of us but Edward always refused. It was their business.

Edward had finally proposed to Bella and they were the happiest I've ever seen them. I had offered to do their wedding and everything turned out wonderful. There was a few times when Edward felt uncomfortable with Tanya around, but she was family and she had to be invited.

From what I heard and saw, Edward brought Bella to Isle Esme. A beautiful island Carlisle had bought for Esme, and Edward was more then happy to take Bella there for their honeymoon.

It had been a few days that Edward and Bella were gone. I was in Jasper's room, sitting on his couch as he went through some records he had stored awhile back. Suddenly that's when the vision came to me.

It was Edward. He was frantic and scared. Bella was also unaware of what was going on but was suddenly frightened and feeling sick. It was something that Edward had said that hit me. He was mumbling to himself as he walked around the house as Bella started to pack her things.

"Pregnant"

The word that sent chills down his spine. Soon I was brought back to Jasper's room. Jasper stared doe eyed at my blank face. I blinked wildly and then concentrated on his lovely face.

"Jasper…" I whispered.

"What did you see, Alice?" Jasper exclaimed, worriedly. He was always nervous whenever I had a vision. As if everything I foresaw was something bad. In this case he wasn't totally wrong.

"It's Bella…she's pregnant" I said. My voice sounded indifferent. Soon I registered what I saw and hopped out of Jasper's couch, a huge grin on my face while I jumped on the balls of my feet, "Isn't this exciting?"

Jasper stared at me confusingly. "She's pregnant…?" He asked incredulously. I nodded excitingly and squealed at the thought of me being an aunt. I noticed Jasper not joining me in the celebration; he shook his head in disbelief.

"The Jasper headshake, please spare me" I smiled as I plopped beside him on the couch.

He turned to me and let out a sigh, "This isn't as great as you think. Edward creating some half vampire half human being? How is that even possible…" he exclaimed worriedly, "You know who'll get involved…" He said more as a statement then a question.

Suddenly I stiffened and I felt my eyes widened. I already knew what he was thinking. But unlike Jasper I had different thoughts in my mind. Sure, I had the three creatures that Carlisle was friendly with. The three creatures who would have wanted me to join their ruthless family of monsters. But something, or yet someone else came to mind. Someone that I hoped was still alive.

"Volutri"

I'm not gonna say anything but I hope everyone liked this chapter. Poor Sara, huh? Basically to clear things up, Bella moved back to Forks, no questions asked about Sara. Basically it's like Twilight over again since Sara had stopped Bella and Edward from moving to Forks so now Bella meets Edward for the first time all over again.

I am hoping to post an epilouge soon. Not too soon hehe. And as everyone might have or not have noticed, the sequel will take place during Breaking Dawn. But that's all I'm going to say :X

Thank you everyone for enduring with me through this story. Thank you for the constant reviewers! You are the ones I write for ;)

To be continued...
