It was three days later that Enzo walked inside my room. He plopped down next to me on the bed.

'Hey pipsqueak' He grinned. I chuckled and accepted the cup of coffee he handed me.

'Milk and sugar right?' He said. I nodded and took a sip. Even though I hated the Cullens I didn't hate Enzo. Part of me was lonely I guess. The last couple of days the only thing I did was sleep, my body was somehow resetting itself. I was trapped inside this room with my own thoughts, it was exhausting.

'So here is the thing' Enzo started 'I need to meet up with my coven in a few days so I'll be leaving soon. I want to know if you want those mental chains gone or not.'

'I thought about it, and I think I do' I said while I took another sip of the coffee. I wrapped both my hands around the cup, soaking up the warmth. These Cullens had no notion of how cold it was here.

'Really?' Enzo asked amused. 'I thought you were gonna be quite the trouble'

'You know what it is, it twisted that someone programmed me to think like this. I'm starting to question the person who I am you know?' I tried to explain. 'I hate them. I can't do anything about it, but there is such a burning hate inside of me. I try to suppress it as much as I could. But I couldn't imagine liking these people you know? And if these feelings are based on some kind of mental chains than I would like to remove them to see how I feel afterwards. To see what my real feelings about them are.'

'I have to be honest with ya, I never seen such a thoroughly job as this one. And it will hurt removing them, but I'm sure it will be worth it somehow' he said while he pinched my hand.

'So how are you feeling right now?' He asked me.

'I think I'm feeling well enough for it, if that's what you mean' I answered. 'But, Enzo I need you to promise me one thing…'

He raised his eyebrows amused and locked his dark eyes with mine. He leaned in closer and licked his lips.

'I can't I'm way too old for you' he grinned. 'But trust me it's me and not you'

I chuckled. 'That was not what I meant'

'I would say the same thing' he winked 'But tell me, what do you want then?'

'I want to keep the vail, I really need some fucking privacy while I try to figure this out. They are totally smothering me. They are around me always, there is always one that is keeping an eye on me. I can't even sit up or they are asking me if I want something. Yeah: fucking privacy, I need fucking privacy.' I muttered.

Enzo let out a laugh 'Yeah they are a little intense aren't they?'

'A little?' I made a face. He chuckled again and hold out his hand. I guess I got myself a deal.

'So are you ready for it then?' He said and gave me an encouraging nod. He placed his cold hands on my temples and told me to close my eyes. I tried to relax my body but somehow I was a little nervous. A nervous twitch went through me.

'Okay here we go' he whispered and suddenly he was in my head. It felt like someone was stabbing my brain with an scalpel. Just breathe through it I told myself, but Enzo was just warming up. It felt like my head was going to explode. Every cell in my body was protesting. This couldn't be right, he was not unlinking these chains he was trying to kill me. I tried to claw into his chest but he was like a concrete wall, he didn't move an inch. I wanted him to stop, I would even beg him to stop. But I stammered and wasn't able to get the words out. So instead I screamed. There were flashes, vague pictures which somehow seemed familiar. But I couldn't focus on them because the pain was much too intense. This was a terrible way to die, but I was sure this would be the end of me.

It wasn't, because after a while Enzo pulled back his hands and the pain stopped. I sat up and tried to catch my breath.

'What. The. Fuck. ' I whispered. Enzo touched my cheek but I quickly pulled away my face. My mouth was dry and my face was wet with tears. He stood up and poured me some water. I gladly accepted it and drank it quickly.

'I feel like you just gave me a lobotomy' I whispered weakly. Enzo chuckled 'Well look at you using your big words heh?' He took my hand in his cold one and pinched it. 'You did good'

'Thanks' I said while I let myself fall back in the pillows again.

'Do you want to get some fresh air? You look a little pale.'

I agreed. He walked out of the room and soon returned with the keys unlocking my cuffs. He then lifted me up in his arms and carried me down the stairs.

'You know I can walk right?' I said weakly.

'I just can't help myself when I see a damsel in distress' He threw back. We both grinned. He opened the front door and put me on the rocking chair.

'So that was it then?' I asked him with a weak voice. He sat down on the floor next to me and stared out in the woods.

'Renesmee' he started

'What? Didn't it work?'

'What we just did was remove one of the eight chains in your mind.' He explained while still staring in space. My head was pounding, every nerve in my body felt tormented and this was just one of the eight chains?

'I see'

'I don't know who we unlocked. But your memories and feeling about someone in this family will come back. They will slowly resurface, at first you won't notice it. But they will come back. '

'I see'

'They are waiting in the kitchen. I told them not to disturb us'

'I don't want to see them.' I said 'I just want to sit here for a while'

'That's okay.' He said. We sat in silence for a while, I waited for the pounding in my head to ease. After a while it did. I breathed in the fresh air and closed my eyes. After a while Enzo spoke.

'Ren it's time to go inside now' I opened my eyes and gave him a light smile.

'Okay'

I stood up but was still a little lightheaded which caused me to stumble. Enzo grabbed my arm and laid it around his shoulders for support. We walked back into the house towards the kitchen. They were waiting for us in silence. Their golden eyes went over me, but their face didn't showed any emotion.

'How are you feeling?' Bella asked me. Enzo helped me in a chair and sat down next to me.

'I feel like crap' I said while I licked my dry lips.

'She did good, she hold her own' Enzo said pulling the attention away from me. Thank god for that.

'Did it work?' Alice asked him.

He sighted 'Yes it did, but for now we just removed one of the chains. She wasn't strong enough to remove them all'

'What does that mean?' Esme asked and Enzo explained it to them the same way he explained it to me. Sitting here at the kitchen table with them annoyed me. It also turned me restless. I stood up and turned around, ignoring the white flashes that I was seeing.

'What are you going to do?' Edward asked with a stern voice.

I looked over my shoulder. 'Now that I am not chained to a fucking bed anymore I would to take a shower if that okay. Or is that prohibited for this prisoner?' I didn't wait for an answer and forced myself to walk upstairs. When I arrived at the bathroom I locked the door and turned on the shower. I raided through the cupboards until I found some shampoo and showercream. I slowly undressed myself and stepped in. Oh god I missed this so much. I turned the shower extra hot. I liked to be clean, the shower of bathtub had always been my safe place. It was the place where I could be alone with my thoughts and emotions. I imaged that all the pain and sickness that controlled me right now just washed off and went down the drain. It wasn't that easy however. My head hurt, but my heart ached. I was feeling sad and lonely locked up with these complete strangers. I let my head rest against the wall and cried. Let the hot tears roll down my face. After a while when the tears dried up I also turned off the water. I grabbed a towel and dried. I got some clean clothes and returned to my bed for now. I thought about my session with Enzo, I didn't feel any different. It wasn't like the emotions or feelings came flooding in right now. Maybe it was all a lie and this was just one of their mind tricks to keep me here. But on the other hand the doc was keeping his words and patching me up. Where did I got myself in to? I just wanted my mother… I closed my eyes but I couldn't help the tears that welled up again. I felt them roll over my cheek and was too tired to wipe them away.

I didn't hear him come in. Those damn vampires were so damn quiet. I only noticed that he was there when he touched my arm. I jumped a little.

'I didn't mean to scare you Renesmee' His soft angelic voice whispered. It took a few seconds before my eyes could focus, I guess I fell asleep again. Carlisle was holding a syringe in his hand, he pulled of the cap and tapped it a few times. I offered him my wrist which he carefully took. I looked to the other side until he was done with the injection.

'Not so fond of needles are we?' He said while he removed the needle and pressed a bandaid on the spot.

'No sane person is fond of needles doc' I whispered back. A smile played on his lips when I said that.

'Well you are all done now. Is there anything else you want?'

'Maybe you could turn on the heating? I'm so cold.' I said while I tried to pull up the blankets a little bit more. Carlisle pressed his cold hand on my forehead. 'Not really helping doc' I grunted.

'Do you want me to light the fireplace so you can get warm? Also my wife always said a cup of tea will do miracles if your cold.' It was an offering, I knew they were glad I did the mind thing with Enzo. They were grateful and they wanted to show it in their own way.

'Yeah, okay' I said and threw of the blankets. A little shaky I stood up. While I was asleep there were no handcuffs, thank god. Carlisle offered me his hand to help me stand up and I took it. I walked after him to the living room and as promised he and Edward lit up the fireplace. They were all holding their distance, which I was grateful for. I just sat there and let the heat of the flames warm me up. Esme put down a cup of tea next to me. I sat in silence staring at the flames, I let the dancing of the flames consume me for a while. Suddenly the doorbell rang forcing me back to reality.

I could hear his voice exchanging pleasantries with Esme. I could smell hem when he walked into the room. There was a uneasy silence for a moment, but then he sat down next to me on the floor. Slowly I turned around to face him. He was looking well, with his toned skin and wild black hairs. I took a sip of tea and tried out some words in my mind, there was nothing I could say that would make it less awkward, so I kept silent. Eventually he spoke, piercing through the comforting silence with his words.

'Hey stranger, how are you feeling?'

I thought about it before I answered his question. How was I feeling? My body felt better than before, my mind was confused and tired. I felt lonely but I was used to that feeling by now, so that was nothing new. But instead of telling him all that I just said: 'Okay I guess.'

He nodded and we fell silent again. With all those eyes on us it just got more awkward.

'How is your arm?' I felt the need to ask him. He seemed pleased that I asked about his wellbeing. He made a fist, showing me his arm seemed to function normally. Good for him. There was a vibrating sound from his pocket, he took his phone out. The display read 'SETH'.

'I'm sorry I have to take this. I will be right back' He said and rose. He pressed the answer button.

'Yeah what's up Seth?' He growled into the phone.

'Really right now?' His voice was irritated.

'Did they cross the border?'

'Still on Cullen land?'

After that he hung up. His eyes searched for Edwards and after that for Alice's.

'We have a visitor.'


What do you think of the the reason behind the hate towards the Cullens? Let me know!
