Chapter 5

A cancer patient is given a room in a hospital, while a madman is given one in an asylum. I was neither of those so I was given a cell. It wasn't actually the cell, but the room I stayed in reminded me of one. No windows, no clocks and all white. Basically, I was transferred from one group of assholes to another. I would say I was slowly losing my mind, but there was nothing much to lose. After all, I did eat human parts and killed one of mine to save my pathetic mortal-self.

"Director Fury ordered us to bring you to the interrogation room. Someone is here to see you." Said a male voice through still locked doors.

When the doors opened, I was already standing by them. The agents were unfamiliar, I didn't see them before and the chance I will see them again is slim. For the first few days in S.H.I.E.L.D., Maria Hill was usually sent to fetch me, but I broke her. Not quite sure how, I was just curious how she got to a position of a Deputy Director when my chest tightened and she started telling me her life story which left me flabbergasted. Since then the agents are different every day and at most of the time they have their heads lowered.

Fear is appalling and the agents are wary. A terrorist like me presents a great threat, I can understand that. I truly do understand why they are so careful with me, but I want to be done with it because I am or at least should be more afraid of them more than they are of me. I am disposable and replaceable, only wanted by those who want me dead. The death might be the answer, but I wanted to live. Not eternally, certainly not forever as I am voiceless. Living is hard, eating is a challenge as I eat through a straw savouring the taste of nothingness.

"Miss Swan" Agent Romanoff was no exception, her head was down while instructing me what to do, somehow I expected more of her. "We will send your visitors in shortly."

Who is here? I wondered. She looked at me briefly, but it was enough for me to see glowing blue in her eyes.

"Director Fury demanded the presence of the Cullen clan." I didn't know if she intended to say that or if my thoughts caused her to speak out. Instead of trying my luck, I just entered the interrogation room.

A two way mirror hung from the wall and I already knew Fury was on the other side ready for the show. There was also a table with chairs around it, but I didn't sit down. I had no intention of talking to any of them, not that I could talk when all I can say are vowels. An effortless remembrance of them, brought rage and hatred to my heart. I never knew I could hate somebody immensely, now those I loved are the ones I despise more than the Volturi.

"Bella." That was Edward and behind him followed Alice. "Thank God! You're safe!" Arms of icicles wrapped around me. My stomach turned and I had to swallow my vomit.

"Mister Cullen" Agent Romanoff called. "We agreed you will hold your distance or we will remove you."

Please do. Burn him.

"Mister Cullen, I warn you. The fire extinguisher is few corridors away." Thankfully, he listened Agent Romanoff and removed his arms from me.

"I apologize."

I looked at them, glared. For the first time since I knew Edward, I wished he could hear my mind. In past I was thankful he couldn't because I thought my thoughts are embarrassing, but without the tongue, I couldn't compose a sentence in which I would curse their existence. I also wanted him to know that he couldn't protect me from becoming a monster. I wanted him to know I killed when I could have opted not to. I wanted him to know of monstrosity, but I imagined it in a way that didn't portray me as a victim, but as someone who enjoyed eating kidneys of my friends with fries and ketchup.

"Bella?" Edward choked. "Is that you?"

"Edward?" Alice's voice made me cringe. "Is everything all right?"

"I thought I heard her mind." Interesting. You just heard, but now you will see and suffer.

Surprising isn't it? His face was priceless. You left me to die, but it didn't work. What-..?

"I didn't leave you to die. I thought you were safe." He tried to defend himself, but I didn't even start with accusations.

Don't lie to me! My mind yelled. And don't ever interrupt me again or you will really need the fire extinguisher. Is that understood?

"Yes."

"Edward, what is happening?" Alice asked.

"I can read her mind."

Lie. I ordered, the blue dots appeared in his eyes.

"She is in shock."

Lie better.

"She said she misses us."

That is better.

I had him wrapped around my little finger. Edward couldn't say anything I didn't allow him to say. I had power over him, control and that was empowering. I saw the struggle in his eyes and enjoyed seeing he was the weak one now. I showed him the nauseating memory of how I found Charlie tied up to a kitchen wall with his bowels and bodies Renee and Phil torn to pieces and scattered around the house. Their eye sockets filled with fingers Victoria ripped from their hands.

I had him see what was done to me and he told Alice what he allegedly sees, embellished lies. My suffering was reserved only for him and I wished for him to get reminded of it in every day for eternity. As I was taken away my tongue, I took away his ability to speak of what really happened in Voltera. My cruelty had no limit for the monster before me so I took off my shirt and showed what Volturi did in me, I reminded him of the pain the vampire venom causes.

"Please, forgive me." He begged. "I still love you."

I'm glad, because you know then that your love destroyed me.

My chest hurt worse than ever before and Edward slipped from my control. I didn't understand how exactly I was able doing it in first place so I assumed I had a gift, something like Jane or Alec who shown theirs during human years. I covered my nose and mouth with hand and tried to stand still, I no longer wished to watch their betraying faces. I waited, feeling my lungs struggling. Two vampires and one super agent in the room and yet no-one noticed it was a while since I breathed in.

"Director, she is suffocating..."

My shoulders were now violently shaking. Edward and Alice couldn't reach me. The fools could only go backwards, but they kept colliding with the invisible walls. I pressed my hand harder over my mouth and nose, my strength was leaving me so I knew it won't be for too long now. I didn't want to kill myself, just pass out so S.H.I.E.L.D. never gets the idea of bringing them again. Of course, I couldn't have it easy and agent Romanoff rammed into me which knocked me down and forced me to breathe in.

"You will wish for something as sweet as pain." Caius' words rang in my ears.

I soon realized nothing hurt, not even my back from the fall. Sounds which should represent something related to laughing left my throat. I writhed on the floor until tears came, as promised pain changed me. I no longer felt pain and that was horrifying as that was the last thing that made me human. Only monsters are unable to feel it, they are unbreakable due to it. I stayed on the floor until someone in or out of the room noticed my chest turning blue. I was then rushed to the hospital wing for examination.

"Something is in her chest. "Said Bruce Banner looking at my body scans. "If you ask me, it looks like a stone."

Yeah, no Loki in this... But if you review new chapter will be updated in day or two.
