I peeled the plaster off slowly, it had stuck well to my skin, pulling my skin up as i pulled it, i tried to do it slowly, so that it didn't disturb the cut.
I threw the plaster and the remaining crumbs all down the rancid hole. The next morning, I checked my body over, I was starting to heal; slowly, painfully. I was curled up on the dog bead, trying my hardest to keep away from the cold walls and floors.
'Water!' the gruff voice called out, the dirty bowl came back in crawled forwards towards the door I didn't take any of it for myself, i splashed some to clean my stomach where the plaster had been. It went back quickly
'Food' the same ruff voice from the face i recognised but couldn't place called out and a bowl of foul smelling dog food came through, I just looked down at the boots, I then saw Edwards shoes, polished to a mirror finish, standing behind the big boots. The food was then pulled back, I saw the big boots move to one side, I picked the chain up and moved back to the bead as the large door swung open.
I curled up tightly, trying to hide as much of my body away from his as I could, my body odour smelt disgusting, my hair greasy and knotty.
'You need to eat and drink, so I can drink' Edward called through, the light behind him. I just looked up at him, the cuffs, chaffing my wrists wearing through the skin slowly. a sticky liquid seeping through the shallow cuts, smelling metallic.
'You should speak when spoken to' Edward called out, making me jump, flying over to me gripping my neck far too tightly my eye must have looked like they were bulging out of my head. Edward shook my head waiting for my answer.
'I don't like dog food' I told him I could see the guard out of the corner of my eye
'Really? I thought that's what dirty little bitches like you ate,' he smirked at me
'You don't want dog food, then you won't have it' he said letting go of me roughly, he turned to the guard
'We could have run this town' he said looking back at me but keeping his good posture me then spat towards me. Edward strutted off and the door slammed shut.
'No more food for that Mutt lover' I herd Edward shout out, my stomach rumbled, I couldn't cry I couldn't be any lower.
'I could have had him' I muttered to my self, I looked at my chains, if I could get this around his neck, I wouldn't be strong enough, I needed that guard to help me again, he helped me before. Then the name fit the face, an old footballer from High School, I moved over to the door, though it was closed I was sure he stood there 24/7.
'Luke, Luke' I called out over and over getting louder and louder it worked I jumped when the small door flew open
'Shut up, you'll get us both killed' he hissed
'Luke I knew it was you' I smiled i felt my dry lips pulling tight and started to split slightly, I licked them though my tounge felt dry and relaxed then them.
'Lilly, you, you' he stumbled and stuttered over himself
'If Edward finds out we know each other we're dead, just wait until tonight, he always hunts at night' the door banged shut again. I smiled and looked at my chains, if I could get them around his neck 2 times and pull, it was too risky. I rubbed my body trying to get warm, Pauls wolf would keep me warm he was so soft. Paul would do anything to make sure that i was, warm enough, well fed and happy, I smiled for a second thinking of my love.
The door flew open, my eyes flew open, I must have dozed of, I was caught off guard, I wasn't sure of my surroundings I looked around frantically, letting my eyes adjust to the dimly lit room. Edward staggered in as though he was drunk, the same dirty blade brandished in his percaline delicate hand, he took me by surprise, I jumped and cried out. He flew over to me he ran the blade down my body by it's flat side. My breath catching in my throat, my eyes darted over to Luke, he seemed to be just as surprised as I was.
'No!' I called out trying to get away, he ran it over the last cut I held my breath, I prayed he wouldn't cut there again. I felt the blade, press in the top of my leg, I cried out again as he pressed on my leg and got the blood flowing as he licked it up, he scraped his teeth along the cut, my legs and arms kicked out as my toes curled in disgust,
'Stop Please' i cried out tears rolling down my cheeks I tried to leave my body to keep my sanity, I whimpered and cried out, then he just left, as though I was an animal he had been chasing after and now was bored of me. I put my hand over the cut pressing tightly, I wiped my face with the back of my other hand. I retched and cried out, I felt so violated.
unknown to me.
Edward was running around the woods placing my blood on the ground, trees giving Paul false hope, using my clothes to take him away from where I was, the pack were looking too. Paul was not giving up hope yet, he couldn't though he was getting further from the Concrete house. The memories of his Mother and Father the loss that he had suffered was too much for someone to take, he howled long and hard at night, he couldn't face going back to the empty bed. He looked though Lilys clothes, holding them to his face, remembering her smell, her smile and laugh, they way she was strong. Paul even went to his parents grave then to Lily's mother he prayed, he wished. Paul never gave up.
The door opened slowly, I was laying there, whimpering, still, I felt as though I should be dead. Luke came in, he closed the door slowly and took my leg, his rough hands reminding me of Paul, he slowly bandaged it up, I felt him do it tight, I lay here staring at the ceiling, I felt some warm water run over my leg, I flinched at the heat. Luke placed a cream on my stomach, I tried not to call out in pain. I didn't move i just stayed there, letting him do what he wanted, everyone else seemed to do that anyway.
'Sorry' he said checking over his shoulder, he passed me food and water I turned on to my side and slowly sat up, reluctantly, I ate and drank quickly.
'You let him do this' I said numbly
'Lily, I am so sorry' he started I just glared at him making him fall silent
'You could have stopped him, shot him, anything' i said coldly
'Lily, don't you think I have tried all of that' he said falling silent
'We both have been punished for what we have done' Luke muttered to himself his breath visible in this cold room
'Help get us out of here then' I told him, he didn't look at me
'We can't' he said quietly
'Why?, I can't do this again, I'll die, I'll starve, I'll die of blood loss' I said as a matter of fact
'Lily, this place is crawling with newborns' he said he took the bowl from me and passed me a blanket, I took his hand in mine.
'Please, we can get out of here together. ' I told him, he just sighed
'Don't forget!' he pointed at the chute and left I wrapped the blanket around me and felt a fraction warmer, newborns everywhere.
I lay thinking all night, I saw the windows at the top of the room start to light up. I waited by the door for the water, the blanket folded under the dog bed, crumbs swept away, the door banged open
'Water' the gruff voice called, I dodged it and looked under the door to see what sort of place it was, I splashed the water over my face to make it seem like I needed to drink from the bowl I went for a second scoop but it quickly disappeared, no food this time, I couldn't let on that I was being fed, so I needed to act weak, I had my bandages off. I lay on the ground, the cold stone floor waiting for the door to open, I moved, wondering if my plan was going to work out.
'Please, Eddie, please I need you' I cried out and begged my vice bouncing around the walls
The door suddenly swung opened, I raised my hands to soften the blow, the door pushed me back, sliding me across the floor, my chain pulled tight, Edward strutted in, he slipped on the water that I had splashed around. I grabbed my chain tightly in both hands and held it as taught as I could bracing myself. Edward stopped him self from slipping then tripped on my chain, his head hit the stone ground hard, it sounded like two rocks bashing together. I just stayed where I was silent. He yanked on my chain. I flopped down limp. dragging my body towards him, I opened an eye slowly, he had a large crack along his eye and cheek. As though the ground had split
'What are you doing?' he yelled at me the gaping crack down his face, into his hairline, possibly his skull.
'I- I drank' I pushed out the pain from my mind and lowered my head.
'You could have killed me' he said lowering himself down to me, I had the chain wrapped around my hand, our faces, centimetres from each other. I lifted my hand and with all the strength, for myself and my loved ones slammed the chains and my fist into his face, he fell backwards, my hand was throbbing, the sound gave me goose bumps. He sat up, the crack now all the way down his face, he turned, the crack was all the way down the back of his head to the nape of his neck.
'Sorry master' I strained out, wincing while waiting for his response.
'What?' he called out loudly looking around behind him
'Sorry master, I tried to fight against the wolves to help your side, but they took me, I didn't get to help you' I said closing my eyes, he turned his back and stormed out of the room, turning left, he always turned left, I waited a second, I lifted my head and peered around the door, Luke stood there, looking confused, I then heard a shrieking, a loud shout. It was a new born.
I gathered my chain and moved towards the door so I could close it. Luke looked down the hallway confidently, he lifted his gun up to his eye and fired a few shots, the chain stopped I couldn't push the door shut. A few more shots, Luke reloaded.
'Fuck' he shouted and jumped in my room and pushed the door shut he leaned up against the door, trying to close it, with the newborns trying to get in, the door closed trapping them out he passed me the gun my hands were still together I showed I wasn't any use he took the gun and fired some shots near the ground, I put my hands over my ears, I felt the chain go slack, he had fired it free, he was pushing the door as hard as he could, my hands were still chained but I could move them apart now. I took the gun and leaned down on the ground the door would open from this side, I tucked the butt in my good shoulder. I lifted the grate with all my might and opened fire I kept my finger down until it clicked empty. Luke kept pushing the door.
Suddenly Edward shouted from the other side of the building, It fell silent, what was all of that about? I looked up at Luke, he helped me up as I passed him his gun back to him, my hands shaking.
'Thanks' we said at the same time he peered around the door
'Shit Boss won't be happy about this' he said looking he disappeared around the door and quickly locked me back in my hands were free, I was free, I just needed to get rid of Edward.
I wrapped the blanket around me that night I tried to make it seem as though I was still chained up, I pushed my bed to where the chain was fixed near to the ground. Luke just slid the bread under the door, then just placed the water there, I drank it all and ate all the bread, the blanket still around me. When I finished I tried pulling on the door it was still locked.
'Luke' I called out the small door opened
'Shhh' he said then dropping the door. The door was quite wide under there, I wondered if I could fit through their, I was now quite bony. Where would I go?
'Quick!' Luke's hand came through the door I passed him the bowl and hid the blanket as quick as I could and curled up and calmed my breathing.
The door opened I stayed where I was, I hadn't washed for 3 days, I needed a meal as my stomach growled, his shoes clipped across the stone floor. I felt his cold hand on my cheek, my eyes opened and looked up at him.
'Come on princess' he said softly, I played weak, he undone my chains with the key, I pushed my pain out towards him, slowly moving my wrists, the damage wasn't that bad, he pocketed the key and pulled me up, I dragged my feet and clung on to him. I passed Luke I looked up at him and winked, I took in all of my surroundings as best as I could, whilst putting my act on. I passed different doors, noised coming from different ones, it all looked the same, I tried to count them but we had been past so many, mine must have been the end one by the position of the window in my room.
Edward suddenly took us right, then left now I was getting confused, I took in different corridors, and doors, and signs, lights to try and remember the way I had came in. then he stopped I looked we seemed to be in a wash room.
'I'll help you' he said giving me a smile which gave me goosebumps. He was now polar opposite to how he had been, must have been the blow to his head.
'Thank you master' I choked out, he took my under wear off running his fingers over the scars he had left on me,
'I saved you from the Mutt that done this to you' he said lifting my chin up,
'You saved me' I echoed back to him. he tuned the water on I stood under it, it was warm I lapped it up I put my whole head under, I felt Edwards cold hands, running over my body, in my hair. I just tried to shut it all off, the water shut off far too soon, as he then brought me a pure white towel, he wrapped it around me,
'You treat me so well' I said looking over the towel, his eyes flashed a deep red. I dried my hair as he watched my every move, I dropped my towel, and slowly bent down to get it. My body stiff, the towel was so soft, I did feel cleaner, though I would never get the slime that was Edward off of me for many years.
Edward flashed across the room then stood in front of me holding a white top, I pulled it on, then a pair of white jeans, they were loose but that was okay with me. He looked at me and nodded.
'Good, now you look more like my Bella' he smiled the crack down his face making him seem frantic. Bella?
'I feel clean' I smiled just standing looking at him he walked over to me, his hands running up my body over my breasts, I looked up at him, he took me back to my room holding my hand I looked around, this time I didn't go back to my old room, this time I went almost opposite the wash room, it was a large room, full of dark furniture and drapes
'Is this your room?' I asked him
'Our room' he said taking my hand to his lips as he kissed it, he must be losing the plot, first loosing Bella, then loosing the battle, the hit on the head. All must be adding up to his fall. Cullen warned me that Edward was unstable and didn't like change, since he left Bella.
I walked around looking seeming to admire it all, though I was looking for ways out. I felt the breeze near me
'What do you think my love?' he asked
'It is perfect, beautiful' I tried to think of what Bella would say
'I'm glad you like it' he said moving he hair away from my neck
'Though, will I be safe with all those newborns around?' I turned looking at the crack
'Of course, I'll have that oaf make sure nothing hurts you, when I'm here, they worship me, like you worship me' he said his eyes frantic, I just gave him a small curtsy. I was surprised when he bowed to me, he zoomed out and called for Luke and came back to me
'Anything, hurts or comes close to Bella, you're dead' he snarled in his face and strutted off, Luke looked my way
'He thinks I'm Bella now!' I said standing close to Luke and he kept an eye out his gun ready, he had a red mark down his neck I looked at it
'Luke' I said pulling at his collar
'Lily, you can't play games, he isn't stupid he is physco but not stupid, you can't play him' he said his eyes stern
'What did he do?' I asked him again looking he let me look, I went on tiptoes to look, it was a deep cut
'Shit' I breathed as he moved back to his position
I looked around the room, in the draws, there was one with handcuffs, whips, gags. I cringed at the thought of it my stomach grumbled again. I hoped Paul was looking after himself. I went through the rest of the draws, then under the bed looking for anything.
Paul was resting, a rare moment, he was working the hardest he had ever worked, he only stopped to eat, or drink, his body was screaming for him to stop, he listened after 3 days and curled up under a tree and slept for a few hours. Paul felt like he was further from Lily, he let out a long deep howl and made his way back to the Rez, his paws pounding the ground his paws, were battered and bruised, his thoughts wondering, almost in overdrive, Lily's laugh filling his ears, her cooking filling his nose, her body filling his eyes, he couldn't shake it. After 6 hours he met up with Jake who was on patrol, Paul looked almost wild, though Jake would be the same I it was Bella, Jake had been in the same position, Jake just ran slightly behind Paul as he led the way, telling him what he had found as they headed back to the pack.
Good to have you back brother' Jake said which as met with a small smile from Paul
I sat on the bed, I was so hungry, Luke wouldn't leave the newborns were too close by, Edward was too on edge. I stood up and went over to Luke, I had found a few things but nothing yet, I was making the most of the warmth and resting.
'How did you get here?' I asked him leaning against the other door frame
'I just needed work, I started off as a body guard, then suddenly I'm working for this crazy dude, it is mad, though the money was good, but now things are too bad, I can't leave he has found my family, my kid and told them all I'm dead, I have no choice but to be here, in the hope one day I'll see then again' Luke said looking around
'Oh my God, Luke I'm so sorry to hear that, we'll get out of here, okay' I told him though he didn't seem to have the hope I did
'Lily, no one leaves' Luke said facing me
'Well you know about newborns and cold ones, I take it you know about the wolves' I asked him he just nodded
'Yeah well I'm with one, they are looking, well I hope they are looking for me, hopefully to get me out, to get us out' I told him praying Paul was still looking, I missed him so much
'Yeah, I'm sure they are' he seemed to patronise me
'They are!' I said walking away from him sitting on the bed, my heart hurt, I couldn't cry I had to be strong, though I may as well give up. Luke had no hope.
I heard the clip of Edwards shoes echo though out the halls, I stood up and straightened my clothes out. He walked in, I smiled when I saw him and curtsied the crack on his face still there, he looked me up and down.
'Hungry?' he asked me I nodded
'Yes master' I said quietly
'Good' he held his arm out, I walked over and took it, he walked us out of the room, I heard the thud of Lukes boots following us, I hard the shouting and scratching from behind the doors, Edward banged on the doors and shouted laughing looking at me, I just smiled and held his gaze, all I could feel was my knees shaking, how big was this place? we carried on down the hallway, then took a left up some stairs, it opened up into a large hall, a long table full of food.
'Wow' I said looking around at the amazing cutlery
'Eat' he said I was worried what if it was poisoned?
'Who else is joining us, Master?' I asked looking around
'Just us, you'll be safe with me, I'll make sure you are fed and looked after' he smiled as walked over pulling a chair out for me, I sat down and looked at the food I started taking small bites it smelt and tasted okay, Edward sat opposite me watching my every move a strange look on his face, I continued to eat. I saw Luke over near the corner, I took a grape I pretended to place it in my mouth, as I held it in my hand. then I took a deep breath and pretended to choke, holding my breath trying to cough, Edward was all over me suddenly trying to get around the table to me, I moved away from him, Luke grabbed me around the waste and squeezed not too tight then again, I put my hand over my mouth, placing the grape back in my mouth and spat it out, I took a large breath in, and coughed as hard as I could, my eyes watering I took more deep breaths, Luke was still holding me.
'Darling! Are you okay?' Edward rushed over to me I nodded
'Yes thank you' I said hoping Luke wouldn't let me go
'Let her go!' Edward ordered Luke
'Thank you, you saved my life' I turned to Luke giving him a wink, he just assumed his upright position and saluted Edward
'Come alone, darling' Edward rushed me off I took in my surroundings as he took me back to the bedroom, he covered me up in the warm, soft sheets, I felt like a doll he was playing with, he tucked me in and stood watching me for ages I just lay there pretending to sleep, hoping he wouldn't join me.
'I'll be back soon, remember, no one touches her' Edward said to Luke before looking back at me. I waited Luke turned to me
'Lily what the hell was that?' he asked me
'Well, I had to see if he actually valued us, he does, Luke we need to leave now, Right NOW' I said pulling the cuffs, proper police issue, a the other few sharp objects, I piled them into a bag I looked around Luke shook his head
'You're as mad as he is' he said though he was thinking about it
'Luke you know this place you know how to get out come on, now or never, for you're family, your kid! we are going to die anyway!' I told him, holding the bag out for him
'Fuck it' he ran into a room he came back quick with more Ammo he emptied the bag into a draw, handed me a small gun and placed the amo in the bag. He shouldered the bag. I picked up the hand cuffs and placed them in my pocket. He grabbed my hand as we ran down the corridors, it was one huge maze
'What about the newborns?' I asked him trying to keep up
'Let's just go' he shouted we went down some more steps, we barged through some doors, Luke locked others behind him, he really did know what he was doing. He checked his watch, he told me to stand back as he pulled the pin on a grenade, kicked the door open and new borns rushed towards him, he threw the grenade in and opened fire, the dust went flying, new borns turned to dust, full vampires needed to be burnt. I just closed my eyes and my hands over my ears, I started to run when I felt Luke's gloved hand grab mine again. I was getting tired, we got to the main door, he checked his watch.
'You have to go' he said his eyes wide
'Come on' I grabbed him trying to pull him up he looked behind him
'For your kid' I told him, he looked back at me, he undid the lid and pushed it open the cold air hitting me hard almost taking my breath away. Luke jumped out and lifted me over.
We were at the concrete building we were miles away from the Rez. but we knew where we were, the sun was so bright, we were squinting, Luke took a long deep breath.
'Where now?' I asked
'To the town' Luke said grabbing my hand we started to run I had nothing on my feet. Luke picked me up and placed me on his back I clung on to him and his things as he ran across the land, he was heading towards cover, I was free and terrified if Edward found us.
Paul was with the pack, telling them through the link what they had been finding, suddenly Pauls heart picked up, the pack felt it, he turned his hackles up, he leapt around and sprinted off his brothers on his tale. He headed the way his heart took him, he couldn't describe it he was just going as fast as he could.
