Chapter 16

Bella pov

We walk in the great Hall caius doesn't take a seat on his throne but stands with me in front of aro, Jane Alec Dimitri and Felix are also here Edward walks in behind us

"I'm glad you can join us" he says to everyone

"we have had news about Victoria" Edward says I turn to Edward then aro "no one has been hurt yet" aro says to me

"but she will be here soon" he continues

Everyone's talking about what she could be planning and how to deal with her when she should be arriving I sit at the table not listening to them I can't take my mind away from Charlie's red eyes the sun is up now and I sit at the table I watch as caius and Edward argue if it's safe here for me or if I should leave and try get out of Victoria's way caius argues it's a fortress here and that Victoria won't get in "but Athendora got in" Edward argues back caius stares at him "she got in she knew the castle she knew what way to get in and out" he points out at Edward but Victoria doesn't know what Athendora did about the castle and it's probably got back to Victoria that Athendora was captured and killed knowing aro's power she'll know that the volturi are standing against her now she's knows I'm protected James used Renee so I would come to him would Victoria use that against me as well the pack are watching Charlie Victoria won't get near him

I'm exhausted now the sun is high in the sky caius aro and Marcus are on the thrones they sent Dimitri out to track her but since he has never met her before he is no use to anyone they still can't decide if I should leave or stay Felix Jane and Alec has searched the city and surrounding areas with other members of the guard no one has any idea where she is and Alice hasn't gotten back in contact yet so she hasn't seen anything I turn and caius is beside me "Isabella" he says my name like it's the third time he's said it I nod and smile "let's walk" he says to me now I stand and follow him to the courtyard the sun is high and I realise time has no meaning anymore I don't even know what day or time it is I don't know how long I've been here for never mind much else we walk to a small garden with flowers roses and tulips lily's I smile at the small garden a naked lady with a gown covering her bottom half and water coming from her hands that are raised seductively above her head I turn to caius who is watching me smiling he takes my hand and leads me to a small opening between to trees there's a small gate and we walk through there is a picnic in the middle of grass he smiles down at me and we walk to we sit on the blanket and he hands me a sandwich "thank you" I say as I take it I look down at the sandwich and become flushed the memory's of us not long ago with me cradling him comes to mind and I feel my face darken to a ruby red I take a small bite of my sandwich "what do you think should you stay or would you be safer to leave" he asks "I should stay" I say to him "I have no where else to go" I say truthfully to him I don't belong in forks anymore I left my family and friends I couldn't go back and I couldn't leave caius how could I I'm safer here I think anyway he Nods now I put the sandwich down and he passes me a glass I taste it water I smile now it tastes how I remember it almost sweet but not plain like regular water so is it bottled water or tapped my mind wandering off I lay down and look to the sky I don't feel hungry just sick I turn to him but he's watching me I wish I knew what he was thinking now he smiles down to me "can we go back in now" I ask him he stands and we walk back to the castle everything left behind us we head back to my room

I lay in bed he comes and lays beside me I put my hand on his chest he strokes my hair working down my face I sit up my heart thumping with his touch je sits beside and I lean over and kiss him he kisses me back and slowly then he starts to get faster he runs his hands down my back pulling me closer to him we are both kneeling together the feel of his mouth on my lips trailing on my cheek down to my throat he quickly unbuttoned my shirt and pulls it of he pulls back his eyes wandering my face down to my body only covered by my white plain bra he pulls of his shirt and his body his muscles not bulging but noticeable excites me more to see him this way I trail my hands down his cold body and watch his face alight and gives me a frightening wide smile that I enjoy more than I should he pulls me to him again kissing me harder than I've ever been kissed but careful with my human body as he trails his hands down to my hips and around the edge of my jeans to my button and slowly unbuttoned them he lays me on my back and pulls them of now I'm in my bare underwear and bra he lays down on me pressing his hard body on me he kisses me again I kiss him with a hunger I never knew I had

Our body's tangled together and the bed sheets where tangled around us the feeling and emotions In my body and heart I never experienced before we where one person not two his love and anger seem to mix together in a unique satisfying way the sun fell to darkness and had risen again it is nearly gone behind the mountains now but as we come to a stop I feel a familiar feeling through my body a feeling I experienced once before and I have the scar to remind me of it I touch ear and feel a bit of blood he must of bitten me and I never realised through the pleasure I was feeling with him I turn to him as he's smiling at me "when did this" I say looking at my hand covered in blood there's blood on the sheets now I feel the venom run through my body I pull on clothes quickly the venom is working in my body the pain now is nearly unbearable he comes to me after he is dressed "Isabella you said you asked me to" he says horror on his face my legs are weak with pain and I collapse on the floor I scream now how long will this last I feel it running through my body why didn't I feel the pain during I didn't feel him bite me I'm sure

I lay in bed sensing every moment caius stays by my side effects not moving but watching when I scream he holds me

The door swings open Maria walks in "Bella" she says to me but I can't answer if I open my mouth I will scream caius shouts something at her but she holds her hands up covered in blood I see now her body is covered "Maria" I say then scream again with the pain I can see everything hear everything but cannot move the pain is unbearable caius stares at her he doesn't move then she's on the floor her head beside me her arms around the room I scream now more from fear than pain

A red mane stands before us smiling "Bella" she says smiling but I have no answer the pain the fear I don't know but they overcome me and I drift into darkness

I know I will be Dead soon
