Chapter Three: No Escape

Victoria's POV:

"Laurent? Were home!" I called quietly, knowing he'd hear me.

"Hello Victoria, James." Laurent suddenly appeared in front of me.

"Did everything go well?" I demanded. If he had done anything to my baby girl I'd make him suffer horribly.

"Of course, it went excellent." He answered me happily.

James started grumbling under his breath and left the room. Him and his mood swings..

"I need you to do something, for me Laurent." I smiled wickedly at him, revealing my shiny white teeth.

"What can I do for you?" He asked reluctantly.

"I need to make sure my sweetheart doesn't escape...not like she could escape three vampires," I snickered before continuing, "I want you to break a rib, break a wrist and put some bruises on her back and stomach, but I do not want to cause her any pain, so do it after knocking her unconcious with some pills." I'd say sweetly.

"But Victoria! She is only a small child! Surely you are not serious!" He shouted, snarling at me viciously.

I crouched, growling. I would attack if I needed too. James appeared behind me, for backup.

"Laurent you will do what she says or die!" James roared.

Laurent immediately stopped snarling, I stood up straight, watching him carefully. "I understand. I am truely sorry Victoria. I did not mean to overreact." He stated, sadness evident in his voice.

"I forgive you. I won't let it happen again however or I will personally rip your arm off and throw it as far as I can." I glared at him harshly. He nodded and I immediately grinned.

"Now go. Here is a syringe." I commanded. He nodded before running upstairs to her room at vampire speed.

Laurent's POV:

"Now go. Here is a syringe." She commanded, rather rudely. I was use to it now. I had been with James and Victoria for over 100 years now.

I nodded at her and then ran upstairs at vampire speed, opening her door.

She was sound asleep, and looked adorable. She had pale skin that looked beautiful with her long wavy hair down to her back.

It was probably good she was asleep. I could then inject her with the needle and hopefully she wouldn't awake.

I walked up to her silently and put the syringe into her. I waited and her breathing continued. She was asleep.

I sighed knowing it was awful I had to to this. I had refused Victoria's sick, twisted demands before. She told me I could either continue being in the coven, or die a painful death.

So here I am, in this awful place. I might as well get this over with.

I quickly broke a rib, I noticed how her breath hitched before continuing. I broke her wrist, wincing at the loud crack. I put some bruises on her stomach at back.

I looked sadly at her. I couldn't believe I had done this. I would have let myself die by now, but Bella needed me or else Victoria would probably be worse. I remembered the other day how she planned to turn her on her sixteenth birthday.

Flashback

I walked around the house, bored when I overheard one word that held my attention. "I need Bella...she will be so beautiful.." I walked closer but not too close that she and James would know I was there.

"I will change her...so beautiful...be my daughter...Live with us forever...sixteenth brithday...Vampire..."

That was all I heard. But that was all I needed to know to be able to know her sick plans.

End Flashback

I watched over Bella. I would protect her even if my life depended on it. I loved Isabella Marie Swan.

So that's the end of this chapter! Hopefully the next chapter will be out soon but if it takes awhile it's because I might be busy. Please review!
