Amaryllis's P.O.V
Well, I'm fucked. I hit my head against the wall, the rhythmic thumping doing little to soothe me. Unwanted memories of what just happened slammed into my face. I made a bet with the devil. Even worse was the fact that I couldn't stop thinking about how attracted I was to him and the other two kings. Never had I really found anyone appealing to me. Okay, I had a slight crush on Carlisle and Jasper, but that's it. All I needed was mister dildo and my imagination. I swore to myself that it was best for me to stay single. With all my baggage, it would be hard for me to let anyone in, not to mention the fact that I would be a possessive monster of a girlfriend. Yet the whole time in the throne room I wanted to be near them. Each time I made eye contact with any of the three, a jolt of tingly warmth radiated through me. It was confusing.
With a groan I turned to the queen sized bed and plopped down on the silk burgundy sheets. They were monsters. The worst possible people for me to find attractive. Their personalities were atrocious- Aro was manipulative, sadistic, and power hungry- Caius was an endless vat of rage who was also cruel- then there was Marcus who I hated because I felt sorry for him. The fact that emptiness and apathy were his main traits was devastating. He must've lost someone dear to him. It was bothersome that when I made eye contact with him, I had an undesirable urge to hold him. I know he is not much better than Aro and Caius. Marcus held no respect for human life. The man probably did a lot of things that would make even my stomach churn. So why was I so attracted!? Last time I checked, I hated power hungry assholes. Worst part about it is that they most likely know about my attraction since all their senses are heightened. I sighed. At least they will just chunk me in with all the other human women they are around. That was oddly comforting yet disheartening to consider that I was just one of many.
I laid on the fancy bed for what felt like hours- the pain from battle subsiding. Most of my injuries are nothing but bruises now, except for the side that guard crushed. Those ribs were already cracked thanks to that overprotective brother so when that piece of shit guard used all his force, it successfully shattered them. Right now they are back in one piece but they are fragile. One human powered punch could break them all over again. I needed food soon here to help with my energy.
It was odd to me that I was this weakened. That wasn't the full extent of my power and I was only using it for about 30 minutes. Usually I can last longer. Ha ha, that's what he said. I think it had something to do with the kings. During the battle I felt normal…until I tried to use my powers to attack Aro. Not only was I unable to attack him, but in trying, most of my energy was sapped away. There was some snacks in my backpack, but after what I did, I felt uncomfortable eating before being told to.
With another groan I cover my face in my hands. I "accidentally" fainted into the crowd of tourists in hopes to save them. I couldn't just let them walk in there to be slaughtered….well I might have until I saw a girl that looked eerily similar to my own daughter. I couldn't explain that to the kings- they wouldn't understand. If anything, Aro would hunt that girl down to make me watch her die. I guess I could just say it was an accident. My side really did hurt and emotionally and physically I was spent.
When I first arrived in the room, I was a nervous wreck. I thought for sure they would come bursting in to beat the shit out of me. It honestly worries me more that they are waiting. They had 3,000 years to perfect torture in every sense of the term. Having them reacting on impulse was most likely better than letting them plan.
I move so that I'm sitting on the edge of the bed. I needed an escape strategy. It was doubtful Aro would keep his promise after he finds out that I just can't turn into a vampire. He probably will come to the conclusion that the reason I made the bet was because I could control my blood to push out the venom. He's smart, he'd figure if I can control water, I could most likely control blood as well. He wouldn't even consider the possibility that I was just immune. I planned on confirming that idea until the end of day three. Then I'll let it in and pretend to react to it. Hopefully during my "transformation" they will leave me mostly unguarded be so I can escape.
Looking at my backpack I shook my head in frustration. This was far from a full proof plan. It'll be exhausting to use my power to any extent after what happened, especially if I don't get any food. If I fail than they would try to kill me. I'll then either escape and have yet another enemy to look out for, or I'll die. I squeezed my eyes shut and inhaled deeply. I can't let myself die before I kill all those damn scientists. I'm still the main leader of my group, and they need me. My daughter needs me. A firm knock on my door pulled me into the present. I sat there frozen with my eyes widening in fear. The mahogany slab of wood opened to reveal the three kings.
