Okay, so I know I haven't updated in quite some time. I have no excuses.
Please forgive me! Sorry!
~~Payton's POV~~
"Rise and shine, princess." Great Kendrick was here. At least it wasn't Vincent; he was the one who gave me the creeps. I got up from the ground. You'd think they'd have a bed down here for me but noooo; do I get at least a mattress? No, I get to pick a spot on the cold floor. Yay me. Not.
"Ugh! Why are you waking me up?" I wiped the sleep out of my eyes and yawned. Then I smelled it. The sweet smell of syrup and warm pancakes, the meaty aroma of bacon, the smell of toasted bread with warm butter, and freshly made eggs.
Y-U-M.
I jumped up. All traces of sleep totally gone. My stomach was growling like a wild animal ready to break through these bars and snatch the plate away from him.
"Well, I can see your hungry." I nodded my head so fast I thought it was going to fall off. "Would you prefer milk or orange juice?"
I walked over to where he was standing. "Both." I tend to drink as much as I eat. Kendrick slid the food under the bars and handed me both glasses. I think he was a little hesitant about handing me the drinks, 'cause he thought I was going to attack his hands or something but I was too busy already dreaming about how good the food would taste.
I quickly grabbed the fork he threw to me and started to wolf my food down. I grabbed a whole pancake and shoved it into my mouth. Oh, how delicious it tasted. My taste buds started to do jumping jacks, and I haven't even gotten to the rest of the food on my plate. I grabbed a piece of bacon and pushed it along with half a toast. Mmm, mmm good. I think I actually moaned when I tried the eggs. The eggs broke when I bit into them and the warm yolk invaded my throat.
When I was done I looked up to see Kendrick staring down at me with wide eyes. Oh yeah, I guess normal girls don't eat like this. "What? Can't a girl like to eat?" I wiped my lips with my sleeve and slid the empty plate back to him, along with both glasses after I downed them too. "Thanks."
"Your welcome," he said still not looking at me. Weird.
"So why are you guys feeding me?" I sat back on my butt and waited for his answer.
"Why wouldn't we be feeding you?" Still wasn't looking at me.
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe because I'm your hostage or something like that?"
"Well if you really must know, and I think you'll find out shortly, we gave you food so that we can get the drug inside you to work faster." Wait, drug? What drug?! What did I just get myself in to?
I stood up and clenched my fists. "What drug?"
"The one that will help with the pain when Vincent turns you. We have to start giving you doses now so that you'll be in less pain when it happens."
"I'm not being turned," I said through my teeth. I had to control my temper, if I didn't I would change in front of him and he would go run like the little girl he is and would go and tell everyone, and by everyone I mean Vincent, mom, and dad. I didn't know if they would like the fact that I was a wolf, nope. Not at all.
"Don't you want to live forever and be the beautiful girl you are for all eternity? That's what most girls wish for." He was sitting a little ways away from my cage and I wanted to reach out and sock him in the face. But I couldn't.
"I'm not like most girls. If you let me out of here I promise not to kill you when I get out."
I could tell from the look on his face he was shocked I had said something like that to him. "What are you talking about? You can't get out of there and even if you did you couldn't hurt me, I'm a vampire."
"No shit Sherlock, like I haven't figured that one out. You kinda gave it away with the whole fangs and the paleness and all. But don't be so quick to doubt my abilities, I have a few hidden talents of my own," I spat.
He didn't say anything but he just shook his head. "You should be feeling the drugs any minute now. You'll get dizzy and have to lay down, then you'll get tired and go to sleep and wake up by tomorrow morning." Great, just what I needed.
I was feeling a little tired, but not dizzy like he said. I sat down. "Ah, your feeling it now, aren't you? Yes, well you get some sleep and I'll go and tell Vincent the drugs are working just fine." I could faintly hear the sounds of his shoes hitting the ground as he walked away.
Then I slept.
**************************
"…She's fine…. tomorrow…don't know what he's going…why does he want her…we'll see…" I could hear little bits of their conversations. It was hard to listen to it all when I was getting tired and had to sleep.
After about a minute it was starting to disappear. I tried to sit up but I quickly had to lay back down. I waited and then was able to get up on my elbows. I looked for where they were talking.
They were over by the computers and were huddled together. What were they talking about? I took my time wobbling over to where they were. But of course I tripped and fell but caught myself on the bars before I fell on the floor and hit my face.
They heard me and turned around. Good thing I had enough control to not slobber on myself, which I was very glad for.
"I thought you said she was given the full dosage," Vincent asked.
"I did give her the full dosage. She ate everything on the plate, she didn't leave anything!"
Vincent ran fast over to me and with me being drugged I couldn't move away in enough time. He stroked my face and leaned in. "You are a different one, aren't you?" I pushed myself away from the bars and would have fallen if it weren't for him grabbing my wrists. He yanked me forward, up against the bars. "I like where you are." He licked my cheek.
I remember Paul licking my face when we were having the sundae fight, but his lick was disgusting and cold. Paul's was warm and sexy. I tried to pull back but he had me good, and being drugged didn't help. "I grow tiresome of your disloyalty, have you made your decision yet, my love?" I hated it when he called me that.
It would have set me off if it weren't for the drugs, for once I was glad I had the drugs in my system.
"You don't have much longer. Do you want me to have to hurt your friends," he asked while stoking my face with his Popsicle of a finger. I shook my head. "Well then, get some rest and maybe tomorrow you'll have my answer." He leaned forward and kissed me. I couldn't stop it.
It was nothing like kissing Paul. He was cold and hard like marble and Paul was hard too, but in a good way, and Paul was warm like me. His tongue pushed past my lips even though I was trying to keep them closed. It didn't feel nice. I bit down on his tongue and he must have taken it as some sort of turn on because he grabbed my waist and pushed me toward him while moaning.
All I could think was 'eww, gross, eww, gross.'
Finally he pulled back. "You are so delectable my dear. I can't wait to taste your blood. You body is so warm, you sure you don't have a fever?" I shook my head. "I have to say, I rather like you this temperature, makes me think of other things we could do to make it hot." He slid his hand down my leg and up to squeeze my ass.
I jumped not expecting it and he chuckled. "Get some sleep, love." Why was I so tired all of a sudden?
Wait, maybe that was his talent. The Cullen had some so why couldn't he?
I succumbed to sleep and dreamt of Paul holding me in his arms.
*********************************
Next day
"Eat your breakfast, now." I was arguing with Vincent. He wanted me to eat the food but I knew the drugs were in there and so I refused. "Aren't you hungry," he asked. But I ignored my growling stomach and turned around.
"She didn't refuse the food yesterday," said Kendrick. I glared at him.
"Darling, it's for your own good. Don't you want to be healthy," mom asked.
"Not if it means eating that drug again," I said.
"We can do this the easy way, or the hard way, Payton. Which do you prefer," asked Vincent.
I got up and faced him. "Bring it on buddy. Harder way all the time." He smiled at me and unlocked my cage and came in. Kendrick locked it back up after he was inside.
Vincent stepped toward me. "Are you sure about this, Payton? Do you honestly want to do it the hard way?"
"Are you going to cheat and use your power against me or fight like the man you wish you were, Vincent?" He hissed at me. "Didn't know I knew did you? Well I figured it out last night."
He stepped closer to me and I started to walk around him. "Do you really think you can beat me. A vampire, when your just a little human?"
"Ah, but that's where your wrong. I'm more than a human, you just don't know it yet."
His eyebrow arched. "Is that so? And what is it exactly that neither your parents nor I know about you Payton," he pushed.
"You'll find out soon, I promise you that." I didn't have the drugs in me anymore so I was faster. I used my speed to trip him. He almost fell but caught himself on his elbow.
He quickly righted himself looking shocked. "Well, it seem you are quite the mysterious one here. Good move, you gave no indication that you were going to go low. I will give you that." We circled each other.
"She's taken some fighting classes, be careful Vincent," mom said. Was she actually worried about him instead of me, her own daughter? That was bullshit. "I'm quite alright," he assured her. He smiled at me and advanced forward.
"Do you want to take it slow, Payton, or would you like to take things at my normal speed?"
"Bring it on, leech!" He lunged at me but I dodged him.
"Quite the fast one, aren't you?" I didn't answer; I just waited for his next move. He went to trip me but I quickly jumped. "Payton, I do not intend to injure you, I only want you to talk the drug so that you will not be in pain."
"I won't be in pain because I'm not going to be turned."
"But you will be and I am only trying to make it less painful for you." I didn't know what to tell him to get him to face that I wasn't going to be changed. "You do understand that if you do not listen to me I will have to harm one of you loved ones." I froze and by me stopping he jumped on me and pinned me to the ground.
"Kendrick, bring me the drug, not the food." I struggled against him hold but he was much too strong.
"How much sir," Kendrick asked.
"All of it."
"But sir—"
"I said all of it!" Kendrick came inside the cage and handed Vincent a vile. "Open up Payton." I did nothing. "Do you want me to hurt Vicky," he asked. I opened my mouth to talk.
"You not going to change me now, are you?" I knew I was a good actress when I wanted to be so I played the waterworks.
Vincent took the bait and leaned forward. "Shh, shh my dear. I'm not going to turn you now. I just want to give you this so when I do your in as little pain as possible." He kissed my forehead and it took all I had not to head butt him. "Just take it my dear and you'll be fine. I promise if you listen I will not lay a finger on anyone you care about."
I opened my mouth and he stuck the liquid in my mouth. It went down my throat and I had the sudden erg to throw it back up when it hit my tongue but I swallowed it down. He stoked my hair. "That wasn't too bad now was it?"
Whoa, the large amount he gave me was enough to knock a freakin horse out. I was already dazed. "Kendrick, bring me one of the cots and bring it here." He picked me up while Kendrick went out of the room. My head lolled back and I looked at everything upside down.
Kendrick came back in with a cheap cot behind him. I was surprised they were going to let me sleep outside of the cave. "Are you sure you want her to sleep outside of the cage," my dad asked.
"With all the drug in her system she'll be out for a good two days." He set me down on the cot and put my dangling legs together on the bed and my arms at my sides. He kissed my lips and stoked y cheek. "Sleep my love." I was falling asleep but I could still hear their voices trailing off. I closed my eyes to make it seem as if I was truly asleep and listened.
"Have you decided when to change her, Vincent," dad asked.
"When she wakes up I will proceed," he answered.
I couldn't listen anymore. I fell asleep.
*************************************
I don't know how long I slept or what day it is but all I knew was that there was no one in the room and I wasn't in my cage anymore. I had to get to the phone. I tried to get up but fell on the floor and knocked the wind out of me. When I had my air back I crawled to the desk. The room was dark and I could barely see my hand in front of my face. The heightened senses helped a lot.
I made it to the desk and opened the drawer that Kendrick had to answer the phone. I found it and flipped it open. I was feeling way dizzy and laid down with the phone in hand. I took a few steady breaths and started to dial Sam's number. I knew Paul didn't carry a cell.
I pressed send
It rang two times and then someone picked it up. "Hello," Sam's tired voice answered. I wonder what time it was.
"S-ssamm," my voice was slurred.
"Payton," he was wide-awake now. "Payton, where are you?" I could hear blankets getting pushed back and Emily's voice asking what was wrong.
"Theeyy d-drugg mmeee. Eadd huurtts. Ffukiin headd ache," I tried to say.
"Payton where are you," he repeated.
I could hear someone coming. "Commminngg. T-therre coomminng. S-sorrryy, tell vveryonnne l-love demm. Beowulf."
"Payton, where are you," Sam was yelling.
Vincent rushed in and saw me on the phone. He was walking over to me telling me to give him the phone. "On t-thee pphhone, ya minnd," I said. "Beowulff Samm." Vincent grabbed the phone and crushed it under his foot.
Kendrick and dad came in with mom trailing them. "How is she awake Vincent," Kendrick asked.
"I don't know." He picked me up and tossed me on the cot, which made my head hit the bar.
"Ow," I yelled.
"Who did you call and what did you say?" He was in my face.
"G-get a t-tttick tack, breat-th ass." He grabbed my face between his hands and squished my face.
"Tell me Payton, now."
I smiled, which made my cheeks bigger since he was squishing them. "Ssscared?"
"If you don't tell me now I'm going to hurt you."
*******************
Paul's POV
I woke up to someone slamming my door open. I jumped up. I had finally fallen asleep on the couch. The place was a mess and I knew if Payton were here she would have my ass for it. "Paul! Paul!" I could hear Sam yelling so I ran to where he was.
"What?"
"Payton called me," he said.
"Well where is she? What did she say?"
"They had he drugged," I started to shake, "calm down, she didn't really make any sense. Come on we'll get the rest of the pack." We both ran into the woods and phased.
What else did she say, Sam? Sam howled long and loud and I felt everyone else phase too.
What's wrong?
Where's Payton?
Any news?
Is she alright?
Calm down! Jacob yelled.
She was drugged, everyone growled, I couldn't get any answers from her. All she kept saying was Beowulf. She said it twice. I don't know what it means.
I stopped dead in my tracks. Paul what's wrong, Sam asked.
I looked up at all my brothers. The cave. She's in the cave we found under water. We all took off running for the cliff. It was farther away but we all pushed our self. We all loved Payton and wanted her back. I just hope she was okay or I don't know what I would do.
And it's a cliffy! wow! whoa, wow!
