Chapter 21: Sweetest Poison

Edward's POV

I had feared that the plan of taking Valerie to Volterra and breaking her bond with Alec is not going to work but I never thought the situation is going to get so messed up. Alec is keeping Valerie paralyzed otherwise she would've killed herself by now. At the moment it looked as if she's sleeping peacefully on my lap. The entire flight, I didn't let go of her for a second. My thoughts traveled to my wife. Bella, how could she do something so wrong to Valerie? I understand she was concerned for Renesmee but she didn't have any right to put Valerie's life in danger. I can't look at her anymore. And the rest of the family was also displeased with Bella's action. She has been manipulating Valerie for days. I was having a hard time believing it but it is true. Therefore Bella stayed behind in Forks. She didn't have any choice in this matter. I didn't want her to come to Volterra and neither did Renesmee. Bella complicated everything. I probably will forgive her one day but not right away.

"Are we there yet?" asked Emmett getting impatient. He is worried about Valerie. We all are. Alec's black smoke is still surrounding her. His face was void of any emotion but since I could read his mind I knew that he was feeling very bad about breaking Valerie's heart and causing her pain. I guess he did care about Valerie after all. And Renesmee looked devastated. She's not only feeling guilty but scared too. She will never be able to forgive herself if something happens to Valerie. Chelsea is our only hope now.

"We'll land any minute now" said Felix looking at the time. He, Demetri and Jane were watching Valerie like hawks. They were worried. Very worried indeed. They were supposed to bring Valerie back to Volterra safe and soundly not paralyzed and broken from inside. They were worried that Aro will not be pleased. I rolled my eyes reading their thoughts.

"Alice haven't you seen anything yet?" Jasper asked her. Alice is trying to find out what Valerie would do after waking up from her paralyzed state so that we could be ready to deal with it. Unfortunately she hasn't seen any vision yet.

"I'm trying Jasper. It seems Valerie will act on impulse. She hasn't made any decision" said Alice and I sighed heavily. I wish I could do something to make this situation better but I'm absolutely helpless here. Damn!

"I think she'll try to kill herself" said Demetri making everyone turn their eyes at him. Renesmee and I glared at him angrily for saying that. "What else would she do after getting her heartbroken?" Demetri looked at Renesmee and Alec accusingly. This time I agreed with him. They were supposed to stay away from each other until everything is settled but no they had to sneak behind our backs and get caught by Valerie out of all the people.

"We didn't want this to happen" Renesmee defended herself and Alec.

"Sure" said Jane with a scoff. Renesmee threw a glare at her but remained quiet. There's nothing to say for her. She made a mistake. They both did. Unfortunately Valerie is paying the price for it.

"I still can't believe what Bella did" spoke up Rose shaking her head to herself.

"She was trying to save Renesmee" said Esme not defending Bella but understanding her action.

"I didn't need saving" said Renesmee under her breath. She was furious when she found out what her mom did. Bella not only played with Valerie but she tried to separate Renesmee from Alec and for blood singers it is a very sensitive matter. I know that because staying away from Bella is physically painful for me. Even now after everything she did, I longed to be with her. But the pull towards her has weakened because of her action. I can stay away from her without feeling a constant heartache right now. But Renesmee and Alec are new to this. They'll constantly wish to be near each other. I haven't thought about it yet what I feel about Renesmee and Alec being together. With everything that's going on with Valerie, I didn't have the time. But I know that Alec is in love with Renesmee and vice versa. He'll never hurt her, physically or emotionally. That's good enough for me, at least for now.

"Please fasten your seat belts. The plane is about to land"

The pilot announced. I wrapped my arms around Valerie more tightly, keeping her steady and secure. I felt horrible because it felt like I was holding a dead body in my arms because of lack of movements from Valerie. I wish she would stir a little or snore lightly. Do something to make me feel I'm holding someone alive. The plane soon landed. After the announcement from the pilot we all stood up from our seats. I was holding Valerie bridal style.

"Be careful Edward" said Esme with concern as I carried my daughter out of the plane. Everyone else walked behind me. More Volturi guards were already waiting for us with cars. They were obviously here to receive us. I recognized, Santiago, Corin, Heidi, and Afton. There were other lower ranking guards as well. We all rushed into the cars. Alec and Renesmee got into the same car as me and Valerie for obvious reasons. We reached the Volturi castle as fast as possible. Aro, Caius and Marcus must be waiting for our arrival impatiently. The next few hours will be extremely crucial on all of us. I just hope for the best.

Jasper's POV

Stress, everyone is stressed and I'm no exception. My family isn't worried because we're going to meet the Volturi, we're worried about Valerie and what she'll do once she's no longer paralyzed. We are expecting a lot of struggling and fighting and tears. I'm preparing myself to feel Valerie's pain. I know I would hate it. And I would try my best to lessen it with my power. Life isn't fair. I know that. But in Valerie's case life is extremely unfair. I feel sorry for her. Over the time, I've grown to like this naive innocent little girl. She's very different. Valerie can see goodness in anyone and always tries to keep everyone around her happy. There's no arrogance in her even though she's extremely powerful being. I would hate to see her all broken. She doesn't deserve pain and sufferings. Unfortunately that's all she got in her life. Even if she manages to see a glimpse of happiness in her life later she faces nothing but darkness. Alice saw Valerie killing herself. I'm not worried about that though because I know we won't let her do it but I'm worried about something else. What if we manage to save her life but couldn't keep her alive? What if the heartbreak changes Valerie? Turn her into a zombie. A living breathing corpse and nothing but that. Would that be any better than death? I pray that Valerie finds her mate. Her love for Alec destroyed her, now a new love is going to save her. Little did I know Valerie was beyond saving now?

"This way please" one of the guards, I think his name is Afton said. Me and my family were following him along with other Volturi guards. We came across a human secretary who greeted us in Italian. Fool. She'll never be turned. Soon we arrived in front of huge doors. Santiago opened it easily. We entered what I think is the throne room Alice spoke about once. I've never been inside this castle. I must say it's quite luxurious and fascinating. But I would still prefer to not live here. It's not difficult to tell that many innocent people have died here.

"Oh the Cullens have finally arrived. I was getting so worried" said Aro dramatically and he walked up us.

"Hello Aro" greeted Carlisle with a small smile.

"Carlisle, old friend. How I wish we were meeting under a better circumstance" saying that Aro immediately dismissed Carlisle and approached Edward.

"Oh dear" said Aro sadly as he looked at Valerie with concern. And he was indeed worried. I could feel it. Edward however looked like he's preventing an urge to scoff loudly. Aro must be worried because his power source is in danger.

"This isn't how I was expecting her to return" said Caius with annoyance in his voice. He looked at Alec, Jane, Felix and Demetri. They all had their heads lowered.

"Forgive us master. We didn't have another choice" said Jane feeling embarrassed and humiliated that she failed to do a task properly.

"Is that so? Well then I must know everything. Jane dear" Aro extended his hand towards her. Jane put her small hand in his and Aro started reading her mind. The more Aro gained information the more he got disappointed and displeased. He's not happy a bit with what he just learned. Aro let go of Jane's hand and clicked his tongue three times.

"Edward, it appears your wife and your daughter messed up with our Valerie pretty badly" our Valerie? I scoffed in my mind. Of course Aro would never blame Alec. He's also guilty. Actually everything is his fault. He shouldn't have gotten involved with a girl who isn't his mate. Given Bella wasn't innocent but none of this is Renesmee's fault. In my eyes she's as much innocent as Valerie.

"Valerie is my daughter Aro" Edward said with anger in his voice. I could only feel Aro's emotion and it was making me furious, no wonder Edward is feeling murderous who can read that power hungry bastard's mind.

"I'm sure after what happened to her Valerie won't be very proud of that anymore" said Aro with serious tone of voice. He's definitely bipolar. At least he isn't being dramatic anymore.

"Felix" Aro only said his name but he understood what his master wants him to do. Felix took Valerie from Edward. He wanted to protest but Carlisle put his hand on Edward's shoulder and stopped him from saying anything. Felix laid Valerie right in the middle of the throne room on the marble floor. Then he walked away from the unconscious Valerie.

"Alec" Aro ordered. Alec slowly started retreating his smoke from Valerie. Once the smoke was completely gone, we all started waiting for Valerie to wake up while holding our breaths. Five seconds passed by, ten seconds passed by. One minute passed by. Valerie remained frozen.

"Why isn't she waking up?" asked a beautiful looking lady. I think she's one of the wives. Probably Sulpicia. Aro's wife. She is looking at Valerie with genuine concern.

"I think something's wrong with her" whispered one of the guards. I guess it was Heidi.

"Alec can't paralyze anyone permanently, can he?" Rose asked me worriedly and I shook my head however I felt unsure about it. Carlisle rushed over to Valerie and kneel down beside her. He started examining her.

"Her pulse is normal. So is her temperature and heartbeat. I think she's just sleeping right now" said Carlisle and many people felt relieved at once. I was one of them.

"Then wake her up" Caius snapped with irritation in his voice.

"Calm down brother. I think we should let Valerie sleep" said Aro again with extremely cheerful tone of voice. But I could tell he is far from feeling cheerful at the moment. "Felix, Corin take Valerie to her room" Felix walked up to Valerie again and he picked her up as if lifting a feather. "Be careful. Don't disturb her sleep" commanded Aro "She looks so peaceful" Edward and Renesmee immediately started to follow them but Aro stopped them.

"I need you to stay here. There are matters we must discuss immediately" said Aro challenging Edward to disobey him. Edward was about to do just that but I interrupted him.

"I'll go" I told Edward in my mind not to get into trouble with Aro right now. Valerie would need him when she wakes up. Edward unhappily agreed and nodded his head. I walked out of the throne room after glancing at Alice once. She smiled at me showing me her support. I soon caught up with Felix and Corin. They were walking in human pace so that Valerie wouldn't wake up. We walked in silence for a while then Corin spoke up.

"Poor Valerie. I thought she and Alec will be together forever. They made such a lovely couple" since I could feel their emotions, I know Corin is not faking her sadness for Valerie.

"I wish Alec had tried harder to resist the Cullen. Mate or not, she can never love Alec the way Valerie did" said Felix completely ignoring my presence there.

"Do you think Alec will be punished this time? After all Valerie is the princess of Volturi" wondered Corin.

"Alec? No, he's Aro's favorite and Caius's as well. He wouldn't even be grounded. Though Alec wouldn't go completely unpunished this time. His guilt is enough punishment for him" said Felix

"I must say I'm surprised to see Alec's feeling guilty" said Corin which made Felix glance at her. She rolled her eyes "Oh come on Felix we both know Valerie isn't the first girl who got her heartbroken by Alec"

"Please Corin don't compare those skanks with Valerie. Valerie wasn't a one night stand for Alec. You know that. She's the first person Alec opened up to besides Jane" I didn't know the Volturi were so interested in Valerie and Alec's love life. They are downright gossiping about it. Even Felix. I thought he can do nothing else but kill people. Perhaps he's different in his home. We reached a room I figured is Valerie's room. Corin opened the door and we all entered. Felix gently put Valerie on the bed. Corin sighed out heavily.

"Alec used to spend hours in this room after Valerie left. Such a tragic end to such a great love story" said Corin more to herself than to us.

"Yes, loosing the love of your life to your sister, tragic indeed" said Felix with unemotional tone of voice but I sensed disapproval radiating off of him. I couldn't stay quiet anymore.

"Renesmee didn't want this to happen. She never wanted to hurt her sister" I'm an empath. I know how much Renesmee loves Valerie and how truly sorry she is for taking Alec away from her. But Renesmee just doesn't have a choice in this matter. Even if she asks Alec to stay away from her for Valerie's sake, the Volturi won't obey. For mates, it's impossible to not be with each other.

"Is that why she jumped into bed with Alec knowing what Valerie would do if she finds out?" Felix asked smugly. I couldn't help but glare at him.

"Alec didn't exactly complain" I snapped at Felix. He glared at me.

"Boys, you're gonna wake her up" Corin whisper yelled at us. The three of us looked at Valerie and she stirred a little. "Good job you two"

"Felix, go inform Aro that Valerie is waking up" said Corin. Without wasting a second Felix left the room. Corin and I stared at Valerie anxiously. A part of me wished for her to forget seeing Alec and Renesmee together in the three house. I didn't want her to feel pain and agony like she did in the woods. It was horrible. I never felt such intense pain before.

"Be prepared to hold her down if she tries to run" I told Corin and she nodded her head. If I were a human I would be holding my breath right now. Valerie slowly opened her eyes. I felt myself getting tensed up. But that was my own emotion not Valerie's. Standing beside me, Corin also got tensed up. Valerie looked at her left then at right. She slowly got up and sat on the bed. I focused on her feelings to see if she's feeling shocked, confused or worried or any pain. I was surprised when I felt nothing. She wasn't feeling anything at the moment. Not even confusion. It made me confused. Valerie looked at us. Her eyes were empty and cold. The brightness in her eyes that was constantly present before is gone now. Her appearance was the same yet she looked different to me. Valerie didn't say anything to us. She just got off the bed and walked over to the window. She opened the curtains. The moon was shining brightly outside. Seeing Valerie so calm and emotionless I got more worried. I guess her thrashing, screaming and crying would be much better than this. Corin was feeling anxious too. When I tried to manipulate her feelings I found nothing. There was nothing to manipulate. Valerie was empty like an empty glass.

"Valerie" Corin called her name. Hoping to get a response from Valerie.

"I'm dirty. Can you run a bath for me Corin?" Valerie's voice startled me. It was sweet like saccharine yet very sinister and emotionless. The warmth and pleasantness have disappeared. What's going on? What happened to Valerie?

"Sure" said Corin feeling extremely confused and worried too. She walked inside the bathroom leaving me and Valerie alone. I hesitated but spoke up anyway.

"How are you feeling Valerie?" I asked. Valerie raised her eye brows at me and smirked. I instantly got a bad feeling in my guts.

"You're an empath Jasper. You tell me" her gaze unnerved me, her voice haunted me, her smirk like smile got me tensed up and made me uneasy. This isn't right. Valerie shouldn't act like this. She should be hurt, angry or broken but it seems as if Valerie has become something dark. If this is how she has decided to deal with her heartbreak then we have a huge problem. A very huge problem.

"Valerie, your bath is ready" Corin announced.

"Thank you Corin. You both may leave now. And please don't let anyone bother me while I'm enjoying my bath" saying that Valerie walked inside the bathroom and closed the door behind her. Corin looked at me.

"Why am I having this bad feeling in my guts?" she asked me.

"I need to talk to Edward" I said rushing out of the room.

"And I need to talk to Aro" Corin came along with me. When we went down to the throne room again, Aro, Caius and Marcus were preparing to visit Valerie in her room. Everyone else was anxious to meet her too. Edward and Renesmee were being very impatient along with Alec. Corin rushed to Aro and let him take her hand. I went to Edward and the rest of my family.

"Jasper what happened? You look worried" said Alice looking at my face.

"Something's wrong with Valerie. She's... she's not feeling anything" I said worriedly. Edward started panicking inwardly as he read my mind.

"Perhaps she's in shock" said Esme.

"No Esme. How can I make you understand? I think... I think Valerie has turned off her emotions. I think she was trying to escape from her pain-" Aro interrupted me before I could say more.

"Jasper" he came over to me in vampire speed "May I?" as if I've a choice. I gave him my hand. He snatched it greedily and started reading my mind. Aro gulped loudly while letting go of my hand.

"What is it brother?" asked Caius with anxiousness. Even Marcus looked worried.

"Nothing to be worried about brothers" said Aro loudly and tried to sound cheerful "I'm sure Valerie will be fine in no time"

"But what happened to her?" Caius asked.

"Oh it's just Valerie has stopped herself from feeling anything to cope with her father and sister's scandalous betrayal" the entire Cullen family glared at Aro. I noticed Alec closing his eyes and sighing out heavily. He's feeling trapped between two covens. He can't stand with his own coven because of Renesmee and he can't defend the Cullens because of Aro. In the end Alec just staying quiet and out of action. He's feeling worried about Valerie though which amused me. I really thought Alec would drop Valerie like dead weight now that he has Renesmee but he still cares about Valerie. I guess what he and Valerie had was really something extraordinary.

"So how do we fix her?" asked Caius to Aro.

"Valerie is not a toy" Edward snapped at Caius.

"Yet you're the ones who played with her" said Aro. This has been going on for a while now. Aro and Edward arguing about who played with Valerie and who used her for her power. Speaking of Valerie's power, if she doesn't feel anything she isn't going to hesitating using her power anymore. Am I the only one worried about what she might do?

"Edward please calm down" said Carlisle "This isn't the time for arguments. We should all be thinking about how to help Valerie"

"I already know what to do. Chelsea here will break all her bonds with your family and she will be just fine. You Cullens are the ones causing all the problems in Valerie's life" said Caius in enraged tone of voice and quite ruthlessly.

"Don't you dare" this time Renesmee lashed out. Alec immediately gave her a look to stay quiet but she ignored it completely.

"Do not speak unless you're spoken to girl. Have you no manners?" the way Caius looked at Renesmee it should've scared her to death but our Renesmee stayed strong. She only got more enraged.

"I think what Caius suggested is best for Valerie. What do you think Marcus?" asked Aro not giving a damn about the Cullens.

"I think we should meet Valerie once before deciding anything" said Marcus wisely. Now I know why he's a leader of the Volturi. Aro thought about it for a moment.

"Very well. Jane dear please fetch Valerie" ordered Aro.

"That won't be necessary" said the same sugary voice. I think I just shivered hearing that voice. And I know for sure it's not just me. Valerie walked inside the throne room. She walked straight with her head held high. Valerie's wearing a short black toga dress with laced three quarter sleeve and a belt around her small waist. The dress is quite short so her long legs are perfectly revealed. Black pencil heel sandals looked nice on her small feet. Her hair is nicely done in a fishtail braid which is brought in front for show. I wonder how Valerie did everything so quickly. All the black she's wearing really complimented her eyes and her long nails were painted red. She's wearing red lipstick too. I've never seen her style so boldly before. And judging others expression, they haven't either. I also noticed that she isn't wearing her Volturi necklace. Valerie looked beautiful without any doubt but her beauty wasn't the usual innocent beauty. Again I saw darkness in her. Not because she's wearing a black dress but because of her demeanor. The strange thing is she didn't appear emotionless like most of the Volturi guards. There are expressions on Valerie's face. It's just there's nothing inside her. Which is very terrifying.

Valerie walked up to Aro without sparing a glance at anyone else "Master" she bowed a little in front of him which everyone in my family despised to no limit "I've missed you"

"So did I my child. I'm soo glad to have you back" Aro embraced Valerie to which she didn't object to at all. Edward was glaring daggers at Aro. I however felt confused because Valerie wasn't really feeling happy to see Aro neither she was faking any emotion. Like before she is feeling nothing. But she is pretending to be very glad at the moment.

"I apologize for leaving the way I left master. I shouldn't have done it. Please forgive me" said Valerie sounding very guilty.

"That is quite alright Valerie" Aro sighed out heavily afterwards "I have heard everything that happened with you my dear. I'm so sorry" said Aro over dramatically. Edward and I both rolled our eyes.

"Your condolence is what I need master. Thank you very much" said Valerie enthusiastically. We all got confused. Even the guards looked baffled. Alec looked extremely puzzled. Caius and Marcus were sitting on their thrones. They were trying to understand this confusing situation.

"Valerie dear, may I have a peek into your mind? If that is alright with you" asked Aro with over affectionate voice.

"Of course master. Anything for you" Valerie gave Aro her hand. He grabbed it greedily and started reading her mind. After a moment Aro frowned in confusion. I saw Edward frowning in confusion too.

"Edward what is it?" Alice asked him.

"Valerie's mind is blank. Aro can only read her past thoughts not the present ones" replied Edward. Just like her heart, her mind is blank too. How did that happen? I think she's protecting her thoughts. But how? She isn't a shield.

"What about you? Can you read her mind?" asked Rosalie curiously.

"I can but it's like blank pages of a book. There's nothing written on it" said Edward feeling frustrated.

"May be she isn't thinking of anything right now" suggested Emmett.

"I don't think that's the case here" I said to them.

"Something wrong master?" Valerie asked worriedly as she noticed Aro's confused look. I've a feeling she's only pretending to be worried and knew exactly what's going on.

"No no nothing is wrong" Aro lied through his teeth "You're just getting stronger I think. It's wonderful" Aro thought about something for a second then spoke up again "Come, meet Caius and Marcus" Valerie smiled and nodded her head. Aro took her to Caius and Marcus. She bowed in front of them too.

"Where's your necklace Valerie?" Caius asked about the stupid Volturi symbol necklace. That guy is unbelievable. He's wondering about a stupid necklace at such crucial time. But I guess wearing the necklace means you're part of the Volturi and Caius wants Valerie with them at any cost.

"It didn't look good with my outfit. I hope you don't mind master Caius" this time Valerie spoke with an edge in her voice. But with a smile nevertheless.

"Of course not" interrupted Aro before Caius could say anything "It's just a necklace after all. You'll always be a Volturi with or without it"

"That's what I thought. You're so kind master Aro" said Valerie happily. Renesmee looked at Alec who just shrugged his shoulders at her telling her he has no clue what is going on.

"How are you feeling Valerie?" asked Marcus with serious tone of voice. Valerie thought about it for a moment.

"I don't really know master" answered Valerie truthfully.

"What do you mean you don't know?" Marcus interrogated her further.

"I don't know means I don't know master" Valerie didn't hesitate to talk back but no one can accuse her of being disrespectful.

"Alright, tell me what you feel about your father?" asked Marcus pointing at Edward. Valerie looked at Edward. Edward's eyes immediately softened and he looked at Valerie with an intense pleading look. I know Edward is hoping for Valerie to say something to him. Do something, anything that would prove that Valerie hasn't gone insane. Without saying a word to Edward Valerie turned to look back at Marcus.

"What's there to feel master?" Valerie asked shrugging her shoulders nonchalantly "He is just the guy who knew my mother. He'll never give me more priority than his other daughter so, I guess I'm better off without him"

"What A Wise Choice! Bless you my dear" Aro exclaimed happily. Edward couldn't stay quiet anymore.

"Valerie, no. Please listen to me" Edward approached Valerie and made her look at him. He held onto Valerie's forearms. "I know you're angry. You're mad at me. At everyone. You've every right to be angry. I'm sorry for everything that happened. Please Valerie. You know I love you" hearing that Valerie gave Edward an intense look. She slowly removed Edward's hands from her arms.

"I know dad. I know you love me" she then gave Edward a sad look and then sighed out heavily before saying "I just don't need it."

Edward was shocked to hear that but Valerie didn't give it a damn. She looked back at a very pleased Aro "May I leave master. I'm starving. I guess I haven't eaten anything for quiet a long time"

"Of course dear. Corin, Santiago escort Valerie to the kitchen please" Valerie started walking towards the door along with the assigned guards. But she stopped in her track when she came near Renesmee.

"Oh I almost forgot" Valerie walked up to Renesmee. Everyone tensed up immediately. Alec was standing at a distance with his sister. He was ready to walk over to Renesmee and protect her in case Valerie tries to hurt her. However Jane kept Alec in his place. When Valerie was close enough to Renesmee, she spoke up.

"My little sister, Congratulations!" said Valerie nicely which shocked everyone to no limit "Who knew you are going to turn out to be Alec's mate. I must say you're really very lucky. I mean who gets to have two mates from two different spices. If you get bored with one you can always go back to the other one and then come back again. It's amazing, isn't it? Well since I guess you'll be staying here from now on, see you around. And of course have fun" with a huge grin plastered on her face, Valerie walked out of the throne room. Renesmee released the breath she was holding in. She looked completely flushed. It was quite clear that Valerie very politely and nicely humiliated Renesmee in front of everyone. What is wrong with Valerie? Does she want revenge? But the problem I didn't feel vengeance radiating off her. Perhaps she's hiding her emotions from me even though I've no idea how she's doing that.

"That went quite well" said Caius smirking evilly making us glare at him.

"Brother, does she have any intention of going against us?" Aro asked Marcus about Valerie with serious tone of voice.

"No" said Marcus then he hesitated and said "I'm not sure. I didn't sense treachery or loyalty for that matter. I couldn't predict anything about her. But I can tell, something isn't right"

"Master" Chelsea spoke up. Everyone looked at her along with the leaders "I'm afraid I won't be able to help Valerie"

"Do explain dear" said Aro anxiously.

"Master my power is to manipulate and create bonds. Valerie isn't bonded with anyone right now-"

"Not even me?" Aro asked cutting off Chelsea sounding shocked.

"No master not even you. Therefore I can't manipulate any bond. And as far as creating new bonds goes, I can't do that either" said Chelsea feeling displeased with herself.

"Why not?" asked Caius impatiently.

"Because Valerie has turned everything off master. Her emotions, feelings and even her- humanity" just as Chelsea said that with fear and worry in her voice, we all heard an air piercing scream of a female. I guess it's the human secretary screaming. No one said anything but we all understood that Valerie's the one torturing the human. And I knew very well that this is only the beginning. God help us!
