Chapter 21

Taken Part III

"Alec is on his way," Alice looked at Edward.

"Is he alone?"

"I think so."

"He must of left Jane with Sparrow. I'll go warn Jacob."

...

She awoke surprised that Alec was gone and not in her room looking at her. One time she found him in a chair just sitting still, laying back, his head cocked as he looked at her. That creeped her out completely. But this morning he was nowhere in sight and Sparrow didn't know whether to be relieved or worried. Taking a shower, the door was heard opening and then closing but when she got out, there was only food laid out for breakfast. And when she went to open the door, it was locked.

After her breakfast was eaten, soon after a woman came through the door that was clearly human, picked it up and left. Sparrow tried to see who was out there as she closed the door, Felix was standing there quietly. "Felix? Open the door please...," she jiggled the handle. "Please, open the door."

At first she thought he wasn't going to open it and then it clicked, "do you need something?"

"I was surprised to not find Alec here, where is he?"

"He is taking care of business, Jane and I are to watch you and since we are not ones for strangers wandering around Volterra, you will stay in your room until he returns," Felix was gone.

...

Alec arrived on the shore, water dripping from him, "where are you, dog?" He ran into the woods, looking for his competitor. The forests were covered with their stench, so they had to be close. He would make this quick and easy, then head back to Volterra. They were moving in quickly, he smiled and huffed, "all right then, let's make your death quick, shall we?" He saw one and they made eye contact, then another one tried to come at him from the front but he moved and hit him hard, causing him to fly against a tree. "I just want the one they call 'Jacob'! No one else need die!"

Suddenly it was quiet. Then a extremely tall, golden looking young man appeared, "I'm Jacob."

"So, you're what Sparrow mourns after?" Alec said it condescendingly, mockingly almost.

"If you hadn't noticed, she likes'em big, you're a bit small, aren't you?"

"Not in other areas."

"You keep your cold, dead hands off her!"

"I'm afraid that won't be possible. I have selected her."

"No, you stole her. I want her back, vampire. Return her or die."

"No, I think I'll keep her...and you die," Alec attacked and Jacob turned. They chased after each other through the woods as Jacob's pack followed them. He was quick and strong, Edward was not kidding about his abilities, he wasn't just any leech.

...

Slowly Sparrow had figured out that Alec wasn't even in Volterra, had he been, like all vampire lovers, he would have been close to her by now. Then it hit her, Jacob. Again she begged for the door to be opened and Felix came through again, "where did Alec go?"

"He is taking care of business."

"You said that, did he go to Forks?"

"What makes you say that?"

"Because, you all are pretty obsessive with your mates and he isn't here. I know if there is even an idea of another, you will kill them...is that what he's doing!"

"Yes," Jane appeared.

"Jane, he did not want us to tell her until he came back."

"She asked and I am telling her the truth."

Sparrow started to panic, Jane heard her heart going so fast that she was sure the Medula was going to faint. Already she was going pale, "no."

"Felix, get Corin please," when Felix left, Jane placed her on the bed. "You should be flattered that my brother loves you so. He is not one easily moved by anyone except for me. Word to the wise, allow him to be good to you, he can be quite fierce otherwise."

Corin stood in the doorway, "are you sure this will work on her?"

Jane looked over Sparrow, "her defenses are down, worried about her werewolf lover. Make her content and have her rest." Jane left.

...

The werewolves came up on him so fast, he barely could tell which one was Jacob. Jacob came out of his form, "your best bet is to leave us, bring her back and go away!" He disappeared and turned again but Leah showed herself first. 'Leah! What are you doing!' Jacob thought.

"I won't let some tick destroy your happiness again!" Leah charged at Alec and Alec thinking it was Jacob, grabbed a hold of Leah. Her screeching was heard before he snapped her neck and left thinking he had destroyed the enemy.

Jacob turned back and quickly changed into some pants, "Leah!" He practically skidded, "Leah..." She turned back into her human form, though despite her neck being broke, he didn't do a clean job of it. He most likely wanted Jacob to suffer before he died. "Why did you do that!"

She couldn't really move much and Leah knew she was dying, "Don't tell Sam this...but, I couldn't bear to be without him. The pack for the most part doesn't even like me...and I wouldn't be able to...plus, I wanted you to be happy. You don't deserve to be heartbroken twice..."

"You're going to be okay," tears were forming and the rest of the pack started to arrive.

"No, I won't be...besides, there's no one out there for me."

"You don't know that..."

"I know, it's best...this...," she was gone.

"NO!"

Sam paced back and forth in anger. Leah had somehow cleared her mind and took off after the vampire herself. He was very old and he wanted them to take him on together, but like always...she didn't always listen. "GODDAMMIT!" Everyone started to cry and Seth was devastated. They hung their heads as they brought Leah to her mother.

...

Alec returned to Volterra and changed out of his wet clothing. Jane appeared, "the werewolf I take it is dead?"

"It wasn't very hard, but entertaining," they both grinned. "Is she asleep?" Jane nodded. "Did she wonder where I was?"

"She is very smart. I'm afraid she figured out why you were gone."

"Did you confirm it?" Alec concentrated on Jane.

"Yes."

"Jane, I told you that I wanted to tell her."

"I understand, but she wouldn't leave the subject alone. We used Corin to calm her since you were not here."

"I see. I will go wake her."

"What will you do if she retaliates?"

"She won't," he went to Sparrow's side.

...

Sparrow blinked her eyes open to find him perching on the footboard again, "you are most beautiful when you sleep."

He was back and that meant...,"you...went to Forks."

"I did."

"And you're back."

"I am."

"Please tell me you didn't...," she started to tear, they flowed down like water.

"I did."

Her eyes glowed, "you bastard!" Sparrow leapt from the bed which surprised him slightly but he caught her and threw her down back on it, holding her by the neck as she shook with anger and rage.

"You are full of surprises, I expected you to be more fragile. But I guess a fae does have an ugly temper after all." She hissed at him and he hissed back, "don't be foolish enough that you think you can take me on and I couldn't bare to harm you." She winced as he tightened his grip and turned her head and whispered in her ear, "you are mine now, completely, and it is about time that I take what I have won." Sparrow's eyes widened in terror but her senses were dulled and she couldn't fight like she wanted to as he stripped away her clothing. "You'll only feel the sexual pleasure...," Alec smiled as she arched her back when he entered her. He was not kidding when he told the werewolf that he wasn't small. Sparrow felt amazing to him, better than any human female and he kissed her deeply for it.

Sparrow felt only the sexual need and his deep kisses as he held her down and then pushed her against the headboard, grappling her backside as he went deeper. Her scent made him extremely aggressive but it was to her benefit and despite herself she orgasmed...and then again, and again. He then pleasured himself and orgasmed, then had her rest beside him, "are you sore?"

"A little," she answered robotically.

He smiled, "you will be very sore by the end of today."

...

Alice held her head in her hands and started to cry, Jasper held her, "what are you seeing?"

"He's making her...Jaz...he's making her..."

Edward furrowed his brow in disgust and frustration. Bella came through the door then, "why is Alice so upset. Did something happen?" Edward wouldn't say anything. "Edward, please..."

He sighed, "one of the Quileute is dead..and..."

"Jacob?"

"No...Leah, she sacrificed herself and the Alec is with Sparrow."

There was something else, Bella could tell when he was keeping something from her, "and what else?" Edward didn't want to say anything. "Edward, is Alec doing something to her?"

"He considers her his mate..."

"THAT PIG! What is he doing to her!"

Alice held Bella, "she thinks Jacob is dead...and so does he, he's not letting her feel anything, taking advantage of it." Bella shook her head as tears came down.

...

Aro smiled, Alec was happy and that was very important to him. He looked at him and Jane as his children, his most valuable children. Though Jane was a bit put out by the fact that Alec had finally found his mate, she was agreeable for the most part. Soon, after his boy was done mating with the Medula, Chelsea would work her powers to bind Sparrow to them. Her defenses were down making it so much easier to take a hold of her. Their scientists were however, having a harder time working with her blood. Though the 'energies' were cousins, it seems they were working against each other, almost fighting for dominance. But they were certain that a common factor was found and would work with that instead.

Sooner or later the girl would be theirs and the Medula would have no choice but to comply and create an alliance since a Volturi was now mated to one of their own. This couldn't have worked out better if he had actually planned this himself, which he often did, but it was nice when fate offered you a helping hand.

...

After his second round, Sparrow lay between Alec's legs, the bed sheets covered her as she rested, one arm around her torso as her small hands rested on it. Were she a vampire, they would have kept going and though her endurance as a Medula was fair, she still needed a decent amount of rest. He amused himself during this time by looking at her ears which twitched when they were touched even slightly. "Chelsea," he said.

There was a knock and she came in, "you called."

"Can you work on her?"

"I can. You and I must work together in order to make sure she is compliant to you."

"That will be fine," he grinned.

"How is she?" Chelsea meant it in a broad question.

"She feels nothing for now. She did try and attack me though," Alec saw Chelsea raise her eyebrows. "I know, I was surprised, but of course I won."

"You always do," she left them alone again.

...

The Medula were almost finished preparing. Lucian was investigating if a Medula was helping the Volturi and why. His daughter was clearly the target, if she was considered as weak as all that, what did they have to fear of her? They had to enter Volterra strategically, they had Sparrow and Alec was with her. He would not leave Sparrow alone and unguarded, and if anything, he would have her there as a way to emotionally compromise him and her sisters. They knew that the Medula loved their children greatly, and there was a distinct bond unlike those of humans. An empathic connection to a point where it was almost psychic, just as now he knew that she was possibly being violated and it broke his heart knowing that he could do nothing about it.

...

Magda sat with the Oracle, "what is to become of my daughter, will they kill her?"

The Oracle sat and touched her friend's hands lovingly, "no. She's too valuable to them and especially to the one they call Alec. However, I cannot say that you will leave with her just then." Magda looked up in shock. "You must have another visit, one that will reinforce her connection to you. She is being subdued by their gifts, she is in shock from a tragedy that she has thought has happened but hasn't."

"What is it?"

"I cannot see that far yet. But do not fear leaving her with them for a bit longer...they fulfill a fate that must be."

Magda didn't like the answer. She was so sure her daughter would come home, but Alec changed everything. "If it is to be," the priestess got up and went to inform her husband of the news.

...

The Cullens and Quileute paid homage to their friend. It was Leah's mother who carried the torch to her daughter and was the one that lit it. Seth hung his head down as the rest of his pack put their hands on his shoulders. Bella also cried and Edward looked at Carlisle. He felt awkward for being here, it was after all, one of his kind that did this. But they didn't seem to mind, they were all friends here. They watched at Leah went up in flames. Seraph stood there unsure of what to do, she could not get in touch with her family just yet, they were on their way to Volterra.

...

Alec finally was dressing Sparrow, she got up from the bed but winced. He smiled slightly at her reaction, "I told you that you would be sore. At least I don't have to be as gentle as I did with a regular human." He brought her to him and held her gently with one arm, she stood beside him and kept a hand on his shoulder as he picked out her outfit, "I hate keeping you this way, you know. But it's necessary, I don't want you to feel any pain. Once I feel you are more relaxed, I will release you from my gift. Now, what shall I put you in? Do you like this one?" He held up an elegant looking dress, it was purple in color and done in a vest style. She nodded. "I like this as well. I don't know if you've noticed, but every Volturi has a signature look, as will you." Alec kissed her on the cheek lovingly.

Sparrow understood everything he was saying, she just couldn't respond emotionally. She felt this need of wanting to rely on him but it couldn't be from her, it had to be from Chelsea. Right now though, she was so emotionally exhausted that there was no way to fight them so she let Alec take care of her for now. It was what he wanted, after all, he lavished so much affection on her that it was hard not to succumb to him. Alec was a handsome young man, changed at a young age of 13, but it was said he was of Anglo-Saxon blood and had the height of a 15 or 16-year-old.

"You are thinking, what is it?" Alec interrupted, he noticed her concentrating.

"You are taller than average height for your physical age."

"My father was very tall, but you were considered more of an adult in the time I was changed," he looked down at her. "You are shorter for your age."

"Demon," she said robotically. "What happened to your mother and father?"

"They were killed by the angry mob that tried to burn us at the stake for being witches. They tried to defend us even though they were also scared of us."

"I'm sorry."

Alec huffed in amusement, "that is the first time I heard that line in centuries by someone who actually meant it."

"That's why the Medula stayed away from human affairs, they were scared of anything unknown to them. They used to be more open from what our Oracle tells me...before the church made them scared of everything. People like Jane and yourself were once valued so highly in ancient times...it is a shame we didn't know you then, the Medula would have perhaps befriended you."

"And what would have they done?" Alec was curious in her responses, because despite the dullness of her emotions, she still seemed to reflect them.

"Helped your family. We would have disguised ourselves as humans but we wouldn't have let you be harmed. We would have whisked you away to someplace safe...we have done it before."

"Perhaps," it made Alec wonder what could have been but he released the thought seconds after it entered his mind. "But that was a long time ago...and you wouldn't have been born yet, and I would have died a mortal's death and never know you." Now she looked down and seemed amused. "What is that look?"

"It's just...you are such a romantic for someone as sadistic as you can be."

He cocked his head, "should I be flattered or offended?"

"It's just my observation."

"Do you feel that it was sadistic of me to kill your werewolf?"

"Yes," she answered honestly and held her breath when Alec narrowed his eyes.

"Don't worry, I won't harm you. However, I disagree. I went against my competitor and he happen to lose, it was a duel really. Only without the pistols. Many deaths have happened over a woman, it's just more dangerous to fight over a vampire's." He held her from behind and nuzzled her neck, "And God help a human if he's stupid enough to approach you, I don't care if it's to give you a flower to show how beautiful he thought you were."

"It's a silly thing to be jealous over."

"Then you truly know nothing of vampires, my love."

He proved his point when he decided to take her out to the market. Alec wanted to have a pendant made for her that she would wear. He was inside the jewelry store, they were not worried about her running away because they would simply catch her and she knew this. Sparrow took off her hood and was looking at a scarf that she thought was very pretty and reminded her of home when a man approached her, "my lady, might I say that you are the most exquisite woman that I have ever seen." Sparrow blushed. "I am surprised you are out by yourself with no male company...," he paused and looked over her shoulder. She turned around to find both Felix and Alec behind her, glaring, their eye color hidden by contacts. "Oh, excuse me...I did not realize."

Alec's glare got more intense, "is there a reason why you are bothering my lover?"

"Again, I apologize," the older man left in a hurry but Alec followed.

"Alec, no, don't!" Felix grabbed her arm. She winced when he heard the man being slaughtered, it was a ways away, but she had just as sensitive hearing as they did. Felix smiled and when Alec returned, his eyes were red again, full of the blood he had taken. "Why did you have to do that, he was just paying me a compliment...?"

He jerked her arm from Felix and took it himself, "I told you, did I not?" He then lifted her and they took off back to Volterra.
