CASSIE POV

After a minute, I realize I am in the mouth of a huge white wolf.

"Who the hell are you? Let go of me!" I shove myself out of the jaws of the huge beast. But then I am in the mouth of another golden-brown one.

"What is going on!" I screech as the two team up, one biting on to my lower torso and causing me to scream in pain, and the other chopping on to my upper torso, my head totally consumed by the mouth, my face pressed into the rough tongue. I struggle as they run with me in their mouths. This is soo gross. It is slimy and wet in here and reeks of dog breath. I can't hear anything but the sound of heavy breathing.

Finally they drop me and I roll on to a hard dingy floor, covered in dog slobber.

It is very dark in here it is hard for even my eyes to see, but I smell three other vampires, and I can hear the fast heartbeats of at least two wolves..

"Who's there?" My voice quavers, giving away my fear. Suddenly, dozens of luminous lights come on. I am temporarily blinded, the whole room just a big white blur. But when my eyes do adjust, fear curls in my stomach. Because the three vampires are none other than Corin, Heidi, and Tanya Volturi. Two werewolves flank them, baring their teeth at me.

I gasp and jump up, turning around to run out the nearest exit, but am suddenly thrown against a wall by an invisible force. My granite body leaves an indentation in the steel plates of this warehouse-like building, and I am then flipped around so I face them. Tanya has her hand outstretched, controlling me with her telekinesis.

"I told you I would make you regret it," She purrs, pulling her hand towards her sharply. I am yanked down, crashing into the ground right in front of her. Heidi and Corin grab each of my arms and yank me up. I try to shove them off me, but the two of them combined is too much.

"Please just let me go, Tanya. Please." I whisper, already sensing that she is going to kill me.

"Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to slowly burn to death?" She asks, pulling a lighter out of her pocket and flipping it on. I gulp, my eyes glued to the swaying orange and yellow flame with the smudge of blue at the bottom.

She leans the flame forward and places it against my cheek for a fraction of a second. I yelp in pain jerk away.

"Try having that all over your body, slowly consuming you." She laughs sinisterly, the others join in. Tanya lifts her hand, and a chair floats forward. She shoves it under me, and as if they rehearsed this, the two girls shred off my arms simultaneously. I scream at the sheer, horrid pain of it.

Tanya grabs some clunky metal chains, and they all tie me up in strong knots. I could easily tear through it any other day, but my position is so awkward and I don't have my arms so I just can't.

"Don't kill me. Please don't do this," I cry out.

"Oh I'm not going to kill you just yet. Torture generally comes first." Tanya smiles viciously.

"Lets do this." Heidi smiles, and her and Corin force open my mouth. Tanya grabs my tongue, and sets the lighter against it. My tongue catches fire, and I begin screaming. Tanya grabs a water bottle and puts it out, and Corin and Hiedi let go of my lips. The water tastes like mud dripping down my throat and I gag on it.

Tanya places the fire against my bare belly. She wrights her name in the flames as I shriek and squirm and try to get away. She splashes another bottle of water that Corin hands her, and the flame goes out. Her name lingers on my stomach in black burns.

"Revenge is wonderful." Tanya laughs as she continues to destroy my body.

ALICE POV
"What happened to her?" Alec demands, jumping up and looking out the window only to find that Cassie is no longer there.

"I don't know! I was out there with her, and then her future disappeared. I left because I thought one of the wolves was coming, then I heard a scream, but I thought it was just one of them messing around with her. But then he said all the wolves are out eating, and now Cassie is gone!" I am panicking.

"Why are we still sitting in here? We need to get out there!" Bella leaps up and runs out the door, jumping off the balcony and into the white sand. We run down to the beach where Cassie and I had been sitting.

"Okay, so Cassie stood up and must have walked into the water," Edward evaluates the small footprints in the sand. "And so she would have been standing there when something bad happened. Which means footprints and scents are lost in the ocean." He sighs.

"I will run up and down these beaches until I find any kind of clue." Alec growls.

"I'm going to tell the others what happened. You three stay together." Bella instructs as she runs off into the house.

"Hang on, baby. I'm going to find you." Alec whispers as he takes off running.
