Caius pov
I look to Bella when Athendora is torn apart the gratification in the cracking of her body part sends chills up my spine I smile out of habit but they lift her and take her away aro is watching me now and I smile at him Bella steps forward and bows to us the black cloak trailing the floor she looks magnificent but when she stands she turns and walks away from us out the great Hall I do not stand to follow but watch her go I cannot seem weak in front of aro the doors close behind her and she's gone aro comes to sit beside me he does not need to speak to me he knows Athendoras secret he had to get rid of her I never told him but he knows I am loyal to him always I declined her up to her death I disagreed with her but this is a secret that he now knows so no matter what information he now has from her he will use it the sun is coming down and it's getting dark I feel the thirst in me Heidi should be back with food soon I stare at the floor now I cannot return to Bella thirsty I cannot bring harm to her especially from me the doors open and Heidi is here with the humans I sit up eager to quench my thirst
Bella pov
I went back to the room and showered changed and lay in bed getting closer to Victoria is hard, not knowing where she is or what she's planning a knock comes to the door and I go to it now I stand at the door for a moment and open it and it's Edward I stare at him I was sure he would've returned with Carlisle but he looks sadly at me "what's wrong" I say opening the door letting him in I sit at the table and wait for him to talk "Victoria returned to forks" he says to me Charlie's face runs through my mind I shake my head "he's ok Sam was nearby and realised she was following him hoping he'd take her to you but they are now watching him to keep him safe she won't get to him Bella" he said coming closer to me now "did he see her" I say shocked out of everything that happened today this is the part that puts me into shock he shakes his head good I think he doesn't know "but we can't find her now we don't know where she is" he says "Alice is still watching her decisions" he says to me "when did this happen" I ask now "just a few moments ago I came to tell you Bella I thought you should know" I nod to him "thank you" I say now looking at him he looks different tired maybe but vampires don't sleep his eyes are dark he's not fed "you need to feed Edward" I say now and he smiles now "I can wait" he says to me "no please feed Edward you need your strength" I say to him not knowing what else to say "thank you" is his reply and he leaves with a small smile he closes the door behind him and I go back to bed and lay down I drift off to sleep
Caius pov
I finished feeding on the humans and the guard is getting rid of the body's now I'm walking back to Bella's room but Edward is leaving and I see him closing her door he looks at me with his dark eyes and just walks past me back down the stairs I walk to Bella's room and stand outside the door for a few moments I don't knock I enter quietly her breathing is light and calm she is asleep I lay on the bed beside her and she comes towards me and puts her arm around me "caius" she calls my name "shoo" I say to her wrapping my arms around her "I'm here Isabella" I continue I smile down at her
She sleeps for hours as I lay beside her and she turns from me now "Charlie" she whispers now I watch her not knowing what to do now "please stop it" she says loudly and quicker I put my hand on her and she's getting really hot and I can see sweat on her head she screams now the door swings open and it's Edward he relaxes now seeing it's a nightmare he watches me I've never had to deal with a nightmare before
Bella's pov
"it's ok Bella" I hear Edward say I feel cold hands on my head "it's a nightmare" he says now I open my eyes I feel the tears in my eyes but I can't breath it hits me Victoria keeping Charlie somewhere dark she turns him and he attacks me with thirst I scream with fear but Edward he would know if something happened he would know
It takes a few moments to calm myself caius is sitting beside me on the bed and so is Edward they watch me as I wipe away my tears Maria brings me something hot to drink but I can't taste it I am ashamed now I get up and go to the bathroom I sit there for a few minutes on the floor then I get up stare at myself in the mirror my eyes are rimmed in red and my hair is all over the place I brush down my hair and put it in an elastic on it I quickly wash my face and go back to my room
I walk in and caius and Edward is standing together talking "she's going to be fine" Edward says now "I am fine" I say loudly now walking over to the table and sitting it's dark outside I stare out the window I feel exhausted now caius is beside me he puts his hand on my shoulder and sits beside me and Edward sits at the table but at the other end "Charlie is fine everyone is watching him" he says knowing he means the Cullen and the pack Sam and Jacob wouldn't let anything happen to a human I know that for a fact I nod to him "I know" I say but Charlie with red eyes terrifies me soon those red eyes will be mine caius is quiet beside me I turn to look at him but he's not paying attention he's looking out the window the moon is high in the sky it's late but I don't think I can sleep now Edward watches us now but he stands "I should leave I will call Alice for news and get back to you" I nod "caius" he says and caius stands and Nods then Edward leaves but caius stays standing I watch him now "caius" I say totally exhausted he turns to me "this was easier before" he says I nod "before me" I reply to him "no before Edward and Athendora now Victoria" he sighs I laugh "vampire's love trying to kill me does my blood smell that good" I laugh now he's smiling at me I stand and walk back to the bed and sit "to Edward it's like honey to a bee but to others it's chocolate" he says to me "some are more addicted than others but it's delicious" he says to me now smiling coming closer to me I laugh as he dress near to me and leans down and kisses me but he is rough with it he pulls me closer to him our body's are pressing together and he lifts me on him and I'm cradling him now but I can't stop myself I'm kissing him I run my hands through his hair and down his neck
A knock comes to the door and he smiles up at me I move reluctantly off him and sit on the bed "come in" he calls and Maria walks in face white she's terrified "aro wants to see you both" she says
