A/N: This chapter is the same as the last one. It's just from Edward's P.O.V. The rape will be involved but it won't be as detailed as Melanie's side. However, I will mark it exactly like I did last time. Just in case you still aren't comfortable with it. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
EDWARD
I looked down at Melanie's unconcious form. She had been out for nearly an hour and I was starting to worry. What if Felix did some serious damage when he punched her? No one else seemed to really care though. They just stood around admiring her body.
Melanie was chained to the table where they would torture Bella. She was completely naked and her legs were spread wide open. I tried to block her body from the others with mine but I didn't cover enough. I knew if I tried too much, I be restrained again. I wanted to stay free to keep them from hurting her when she was unconcious. That would be even worse than when she was awake.
Her breathing suddenly changed as did her heart rate. She was awake and terrified about what she'd find when she opened her eyes. I supposed that was why she kept them shut for a couple minutes. I reached out to push her bangs out of her. It was supposed to be a comforting gesture but her eyes snapped open in panic and fear.
Great, I had scared her even more. Could I not do anything right by this girl? First, I kidnap her to keep Bella alive. Only to find out that she is Bella's daughter. Then I fail to protect her from these sick and twisted bastard. And I just scared the crap out of her by trying to comfort her. I was failing miserably at keeping my promises to her. And to Bella.
It wasn't just for Bella that I wanted to protect Melanie. I had plans to do it before I even found out that she was Bella's daughter. My want to protect her only increased with the knowledge of who she was. I was, however failing miserably at protecting her though. And I had no idea how I could actually save. All I knew is that it needed to be done.
"I'm sorry." I whispered. "I promised I'd protect you but I can't protect you from this."
"Edward, don't be sorry." she replied. "You promised that you'd try to protect me. You warned me that you might not be able to. You did nothing that you need to be sorry for."
It was strange, but, for a minute, I felt like I was arguing with Bella over who's fault something was. She always took the blame for anything bad that happened to her. Regardless if someone else messed up or not.
Just like with Bella, I couldn't let her take the blame. This one was all my fault. I brought her to this. I could've chose to tell Aro no. I had to make her see that it was all on me. She didn't need to blame herself. She had too much to worry about than being angry with herself.
"But you wouldn't be here now if it weren't for me." I argued. "I brought you here."
"Yes, you did bring me here but I am not in this position because of you." she stated matter-of-factly. "Aro wants me bad enough that he would've sent someone else if you refused. He just likes his game with you. Besides, I'm the one who declined his offer. It's my fault that I'm on this table. Not yours. I can choose to become just like them but I won't. I'd rather let this happen knowing that I'm a good person than be free and know the cost of that freedom. So let them do what they want to do because they'll never be able to take my goodness away from me."
As sad as her words made me, I couldn't help but smile. Everything she had just said sounded exactly like Bella. In fact, the way she was looking at me as she said it, with such courage and heart, she reminded so much of Bella that I had to remind myself that she wasn't really Bella.
"That's so sweet." Aro thought as he cleared his throat. "Unfortunately, your time is up and it's our turn."
I threw hikm a dirty look as I felt Jane, Demetri, and Felix grab and pull me away from Melanie. I tried to pull myself away from them but it was impossible. Their grip was even more effective than Emmett and Jasper's and I could barely break from them half the time.
Aro was suddenly in front of her. His thoughts were making me wish I could retch. He let his hands slide over her upper body before resting one on her right breast.
"You know, you could always change your mind." Aro stated. "Then we wouldn't have to do this."
I noticed that he squeezed her breast gently. If she felt it, she didn't let him know that. I prayed she would stay as smart as she had been about this. I knew that she'd never agree to join him. However, I could pray that she kept her mouth under control. Somehow, I doubt she would.
"Go to hell." she replied.
Yup, she was every bit like her mother. I wasn't sure if it was a good thing or not though. I had a feeling that it wasn't going to be tonight. Bella didn't just lie there and take it. Her daughter wouldn't either. I just wihed she knew how much trouble it could get her in to.
"And I was hoping we wouldn't have to hurt you." Aro said in a mock sad tone.
He squeezed the breast a little harder. I could see the pain wash over her face. She didn't make a sound, though. I smiled to myself just a little. I knew then that she wouldn't give him the satisfaction of screaming.
"You should've thought of that before you had me brought here against my will." she responded
Aro chuckled and squeezed even harder. I saw Melnaie screw her face up but she still didn't make a sound. I mentally applauded her.
"It's much more fun when you're unwilling though, darling." Aro replied squeezing a little harder.
I could see how badly it was hurting her and knew she wouldn't be able to keep quiet much longer. What she did to make him let go surprised and scared the hell out of me. I heard her hulk back her snot, then she spit it right in Aro's face. Had it not been for the seriousness of the situation, I probably would've laughed.
Aro, however, didn't think it was very funny. He slapped her across the face. Her head flipped to the side and my vampire ears heard her it hit the table. I was surprised that she was still concious.
"Stupid human." Aro complained as he grabbed her hair and used it to wipe the lugee (sp) off in it. "I'm starting to wonder though Edward. She's even as feisty as Bella was."
I let out a growl and struggled against my captors. How dare he make a comment about Bella? He didn'rt even deserve to think about her that way. Hell, he didn't deserve to think about her at all. I wanted to teach him that. The others held me firmly as Aro continued talking to Melanie.
"You know, brothers, I'm in the mood for something different tonight." he stated as he walked to them.
I let out a growl as I heard the nature of his thoughts. How could he even think of doing that to this poor girl. She was only fourteen for Christ's sake. She probably didn't understand anything about what he was thinking.
However, my opinion on the subject didn't matter. The brothers would do what they wanted, regardless of what anyone else thought. Aro had explained his idea and Caius agreed to it. Marcus, however, opted to just watch tonight. He got off on other people's pain and would simply take care of the problem himself.
I continued to growl and struggle as they talked about it. I knew it was useless but I had to keep fighting for Melanie.
"Excellent." Aro clapped and headed back over to Melanie.
Aro blocked my view of Melanie. I knew, though, that he was unchaining her, by his thoughts. I didn't want to think about why he needed her off of the table.
"Don't try anything." he stated. "We're faster than you and stronger than you. And you don't even know how to get out of here. You won't get very far if you try."
Once he freed her right wrist and moved to her left one.
"Sit up." he ordered once he finished.
As she sat up, our eyes met. I could see sadness, a little fear but mostly courage and pain in those eyes. I, once again wished that I could read her mind. It would've made things so much easier for both of us.
It was weird, though. I had gotten really good at being able to read people. It looked to me as if she was sad and hurt because I was hurting over her pain. I wondered why she would feel that way.
I supposed we had formed a kind of bond over the last forty eight hours. I felt a strong connection to her. I was sure that I loved her. Not the way I loved Bella, of course. This was more like a brother/sister or father/daughter type of thing. I guess I considered her my daughter now. I couldn't help but think that if life was fair, she would've been mine. Of course, if life were fair, neither of us would be here.
I watched as Aro unlocked her ankles while Caius tied her hands behind her back. I heard her gulp in fear and prayed she make it through this.
"Stand up." Aro ordered once they finished with her.
She obeyed. Aro's thoughts were getting worse. I knew he was only doing it to torment me. I couldn't help but rise to it. She didn't need to go through that. She didn't deserve to go through that. No one did.
"Aro, don't do this!" I yelled still struggling to get away from the others. "She's just a child. She probably doesn't know anything about how."
"Silence, Edward." Aro yelled. "We'll just have to see what she knows. And I'll help her if she needs it. Now, on your knees human."
She looked confused for a moment. I could tell that she didn't really want to follow the order. I knew she had no choice though. That is unless she wanted to get hurt. I didn't want her to so I prayed she'd just listen. She dropped to her knees after only a few seconds hesitation.
A/N: This is were the rape stuff begins. Once again, please just use your imagination. I'm not complete positive it would work.
Melanie knelt there staring at the floor and waiting to see what Aro would do. Aro unzipped his pants and let the fall to the ground. Melanie looked up to find his dick right in her face. I could see comprehension dawn on her face and she looked to the floor again.
I could only imagine what was going through her head. She probably hadn't thought about sex orblowjobs yet. SHe was too young. Now, she was expected to perform one. I wanted nothing more than to be able to throw up as I thought about it.
"I'm waiting, little one." Aro said in an impatient voice.
She continued to stare at the floor. I had a feeling she was trying to debate about what she was going to do. Finally, she looked up at him with tear filled eyes and my heartbroke.
"Is something wrong dear?" Aro asked in a tone a teacher would use with a confused student.
"I-i-i r-r-really don't k-nn-nn-ow h-h-h-how, sir." Melanie stuttered out.
"Don't worry, sweetie." he replied in a slightly more condescending tone. "It's really easy. I'll talk you through it. But first you have to open up and let me in."
She took one last look at me. I was still trying to get away from Jane, Felix, and Demetri. I wasn't getting anywhere though. I knew I couldn't stop. I had to get to Melanie as soon as I could. I needed to save her. I gave her an apologetic look just before she turned back to Aro. She opened her mouth and Aro slowly placed his dick in her mouth.
His thoughts were drving me crazy. He was imagining that it was Bella doing this to him. He knew that would piss me off even more. It did but not for the reasons he thought. KNowing that Bella was Melanie's mother had caused me to see the two as almost the same. The images of Bella kept reminding me of Melanie.
"Now, lick it, darling." He said as if he was a kindergarten teacher explaining why x comes before y in the alphabet.
I couldn't tell from her body if she had done it or not. Judging by Aro's thought's she had. He continued to order her to do things in a condescending manner. I could see the tears streaming down her face as she continued to take his orders.
After a while, he began moving himself in and out of her telling her to suck as he did it. The almost silent slurping noises of her inexperience told me that she had listened.
I could tell by Aro's thoughts when he released. He let himself spill into her mouth and had no intention of letting her spit it out. She looked up at him, no doubt silently pleading him to allow her to do that. His lips curled into that evil and twisted smile he wore so well.
"Swallow it." He said dangerously.
I watched as she forced the vile liquid down her throat. I silently prayed that she wouldn't throw up. Aro had every intention of making he eat it, if she did. I didn't think I could watch that. Thankfully, she managed to keep it down.
"Now, that wasn't so bad, was it, little one?" He questioned.
"No sir, it wasn't." she stated with tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Good." Aro replied. "So now that you know what you're doing, Caius would like the same thing. I'm sure that you'll be more than happy to oblige him."
"Aro, isn't that enough for one night!" I yelled. I was pulling at the other three with all of my might. If it had been my brothers, I would've been free by now. "She doesn't deserve this!"
"She made a decision." Aro thought sadistically. "Now she has to live with the consequences of it. Much you like you have to live with the consequences of telling Bella your secret."
He knew that got me going every time. I growled again and tried to lunge for him. The others yanked me back hard. Aro smiled at me.
"Jane." he said dismissively.
Jane didn't need the actual order, she simply step in front of me and turned her glare on me. Pain shot through my entire body as Jane's gift bared down on me. I still refused to scream, no matter how bad it hurt. I wouldn't scare Melanie like that or give them the satisfaction of a verbal response.
"Stop it!" Melanie yelled. "Just leave him alone!"
Jane released mefrom her gift a minute later. I immediately went back to trying to get away. I knew thoguh that things would be worse if I continued speaking. Which is why I shut up.
"Now, that we've heard from the peanut gallery." Aro stated in his sickeningly sweet voice. "Caius is waiting m'dear."
Caius was a lot rougher with her than Aro. He made her do many of the same things. He just used more force and made himself more intimidating. He started frocing himself in and out after awhile and she had to hold onto his legs to keep her balance. His thoughts at that point churned my stomach.
"Play with my balls." he groaned as he continued pushing himself in and out.
Melanie obeyed they order. Caius was for the most part pleased as he continued to push himself in and out of her mouth.
He didn't release in her mouth but I didn't like where he was planning on doing. He shoved her head to the floor and wrapped her hair around his dick. He rubbed it all over her hair once he finished. She lay on the ground crying and shaking when he finshed.
I noticed her look at Marcus after a minute. He was in a corner whacking off. Aro began explaining Marcus's little fetish with doing himself. I didn't pay any attention though, I was stuck on his thoughts of what they were going to do next. I wanted nothing more than to rip his head off at that point.
"Do you have to do that too?" I asked still struggling. "Can't you leave her a little of her dignity?"
Aro chuckled but otherwise ignored me.
"Stand up!" Aro ordered Melanie.
Melanie stood as quickly as possible with her hands restrained the way they were. Our eyes met again breifly. I was so scared for her and I hated that there was nothing I could do to stop this.
Aro moved so he was directly in front of her, breaking our eye contact. I heard her gasp as Caius stepped up behind her.
I didn't watch or listen in on the details after that. It was bad enough that it was happening to her. I couldn't bear it if I had to hear what they were thinking while they were doing it.
After, a little but of foreplay, the raped her from both ends at the same time. I didn't pay too much attention because I couldn't bear it. However, I did noticed that Melanie hadn't made a sound the whole time. Yes, she did cry but she didn't scream or beg.
A/N: End Rape scene.
Both monsters, pulled out of her at the same time and she fell to the ground in a sobbing heap. I was fighting harder to get her. When she looked at me, I saw in her eyes how much she needed comfort. I, however, couldn't break free of them.
I could smell her spilled blood on the ground. I had just realized that she smelled like Bella as well. She wasn't as strong as her mother but it was there all the same. Aro and Caius dressed then Aro's thoughts made me try even harder to break free.
Once he was dressed, Aro yanked Melanie up by by her hair and forced her back on the table. He then forced her legs apart and began licking the blood out from between her legws. I growled softly as he did so.
"She tastes as good as Bella did." Aro thought with a mental chuckle. "Of course, I always prefer a virgin to a slut who tasted like werewolf."
That's what finally broke me. How dare he even think to call Bella a slut? She had only ever slept with two guys willingly. At least, to me knowledge. Still, she was my girl and I had to defend her honor whether or not the statement was true.
I managed to rip myself from the three others. I lunged at Aro, grabbed him around the middle, and slammed him into the wall so hard it left an indent. I placed my hands around his throat in an attempt to rip his head off. His thoughts were peaceful, amused even, as he struggled to free himself of me.
I felt the others trying to pull me off but I was powered by rage and wasn't going to stop. I could feel Jane using her gift on me but the rage was dulling the pain. I continued to struggle with Aro and ignore the others. I didn't even noticed that Jane had stopped until I heard Melanie's whimper of fear.
I froze and turned around. I kept a firm hand around Aro's neck, though.
"Jane, let her go!" I growled.
"No, Edward!" Caius replied. "Let him go or I'll let Jane drain her dry."
I had no choice now. I couldn't let anything happen to Melanie because I couldn't control my anger. I released Aro and raised my hands in surrender. I felt Demetri and Felix grab my arms and pull them behind my back. I was so busy wallowing in the fact that I let Melanie and Bella down again, I didn't notice anyone's thoughts.
Aro stood from the wall and brushed himself off. He didn't look in the least bit perturbed by what happened. In fact, he looked perfectly calm about it. He smiled his sadistic smile as he stepped in front of me.
"Felix, Demetri, take him back to his quarters." he stated. "And don't let him out or anyone except me in until I say." Felix and Demetri nodded. "And as for you, little one," He walked toward Melanie and stroked her cheek. "Jane will get you cleaned up. Then she'll take you to your own room. The one we kept Bella in." He added to Jane, who nodded. Then Aro turned back to me and got another evil smile on his face. "And then tell your fellow guard members that the next four hours is open season on the human. Just make sure that they don't get too rough and everyone keeps it in there pants."
He was backing out of his promise. He couldn't do that. I held up my end and brought her here. He was backing out by taking her away from me and allowing the guard to have her.
"No!" I yelled. "You said that they wouldn't be allowed to touch her!"
"I did but that was before you disrespected me in front of her, my brothers, and your fellow guard members. So, I have no choice but to punish you. Unfortunately, I have yet to find a punishment that will teach you respect. Hopefully, sitting in your room and thinking about what you behavior has done to your poor inoccent human, will teach that respect. Or at least make you think twice before you act."
"You son of a bitch!" I yelled and tried to rip myself from Felix's and Demetri's grasps.
I shocked myself by using that phrase. I didn't usually use words like that, even when I was angry. There was so much wrong with this that I just had to get things out. I hated myself for not thinking that he would use Melanie as a way to punish me. Now, wshe was going to suffer and she didn't do anything wrong. I knew this was as much my fault as it was his. However, it felt so much better to take it out on him.
"Get him out of my sight!" Aro replied with a chuckle.
Felix and Demetri pulled me from the room. I continued to fight and scream obscenities at Aro as the two dragged me down the hall.
When I was thrown in my room, I collapsed on my couch and tried to figure out who I hated more in that moment. Myself or Aro.
A/N: Sorry it's so long. My fingers kind of just took off on this one. I hope you enjoyed it all the same. Please review. I love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
