If you think I own the Twilight Saga… Harry may need to 'manipulate' your mind ;). I also don't own Don't Trust Me by 30H!3.

Never trust a ho
Won't trust a ho
Don't Trust Me

Previously on Don't Trust Me:

Bella has been traded back for the entire library; Rose for Esme's designs; Emmett for the entire house and everything in it.

Harry has been revealed to have the ability to manipulate certain mental processes such as tricking Alice's mind to not show her her visions. Violet has been revealed to do something similar, manipulating how a person perceives things such as making Taylor think Violet was into Jake. Luis has been revealed to have a power rivaling Jane's by sending a lighting-type bolt to shock a person's heart. He can stun a vampire flat on his back, making them momentarily weak, or kill a human.

Harry and Violet are twins, not mates, and secretly wish to join the Volturi guard.

Taylor's pissed.

Here we go.

Chapter 24

Taylor POV

"I'm bored," I told Nessie.

We're leaning on each other's backs in the middle of the room. Alice and Jasper are talking to each other quietly while Edward is pacing in front of the bars.

"Me too," she said, running her fingers through her hair. "How long 'till they tell us who's going next?"

"You ask me like I know what's running through these idiots' minds, Ness."

She laughed, linking her fingers through mine on the floor. "Same."

Third POV

Xavier sighed, tapping his fingers impatiently on the table. "Tick tock, tick tock. Make a decision, Cullens. You know what happens if you don't."

"Hold your chizz," Rose exclaimed, shooting her famous icy, cool stare. "We're working on it."

"What about our cars?" Bella asked, cringing slightly.

She knew how much they loved their cars. Even her.

But it was getting cutthroat. Who knew if Xavier was even telling the truth on what he would do without something to trade? They trusted him before, after all, and look where it got them.

"That's part of the house," Xavier glared. "Not up for trade."

Xavier was getting frustrated on how easily they were coming up for things to trade for their precious family. Had he underestimated their loyalty to each other?

No. Of course not. They had done this plan countless times. He had never failed. Never. And he most definitely wasn't going to stop now. Not with them.

"Actually, it's not," Emmett smiled. "It's part of our garage, which is slightly separate from the house. So beat that, sucka!"

Xavier rolled his eyes. "I suppose I'll allow it." Clueless, infuriating idiots. "Violet, please go get Jasper."

Violet smiled, pleased to have something to do. "Yes, sir."

Taylor POV

Just as I thought we were never going to get out of here, Violet appeared with a (surprisingly) not malicious smile on her face.

"Jasper, you're leaving," she said, opening the bars.

As Jasper got up, Alice's face changed slightly. It became cool, more resigned. As if she had been preparing for this moment her entire life.

Which, in a way, made sense. Our time spent in this place felt like forever.

"Jazzy, I love you," she called as he made his way out.

He turned back, winking at her and waving at the rest of us. Then he was gone.

"This sucks," Alice spat, crossing her arms and pouting. "We need to do something to get out of here. I can't take it anymore!"

"Who do you think will be next?" Nessie asked, her eyebrows scrunched in concentration. "Aro kinda wants all of us equally."

I shrugged. "Forget about that. Alice is right; we need to get out of here. There's gotta be something we can do instead of just sitting here like the next big target."

But what? We were, sorta literally, sitting ducks. Completely at their mercy. Unless we could find a way to take out Luis, we were all at risk because of his admittedly freaky, scary power.

Edward rolled his eyes - though I wasn't sure if it was at my comment in my head or what I said before. "Both, I suppose. Nice analogy."

"Thanks," I said, winking. "I'm pretty proud of myself, actually."

Third POV

Jasper whistled low as he walked in the room, his eyes never staying in one spot

"What is this, an interrogation?" he asked.

Emmett grinned. "That's what I thought! Like some sort of trivia game show type thing. This room is creepy as hell."

"Jasper, is everyone okay?" Esme asked, concern splashed all over her face.

"Everyone is doing just fine," Jasper answered, sitting next to Bella. "Actually, Ali and I were talking... we have an idea, of sorts, for the next thing to trade."

AN

I feel like I apologize too much, so I'm not going to. Just know I am trying for these chapters. Don't worry, I promised I wouldn't give up on this story and I won't. Swear it.

So, any guesses for the next item they're going to trade? Who will it be? Take your guess!
