A/N: I don't own Twilight/New Moon..if i did wouldn't I be writing Eclipse instead? P
I had gone to where Alice told me; the door at the end of the second floor's hallway. I had heard
several low growls and hisses as I neared the door in the very dark hallway.
I knew they were other Vampires, the Volturi, and they were watching my every move.
I knew that the door in front of me was the correct one. Not only because it was the last door in the hall, as Alice
had told me, but because the scent of Bella's blood had gotten stronger with each step I took
towards the door. I didn't care what or who was waiting for me on the other side of the door.
I just knew that my angel was in there, in pain, and waiting for me to come and help her. I
slammed the door open and looked around.
It was very dimly lit, as the rest of the factory seemed
to be, but she was in here, somewhere and I knew Aro was inside as well. My eyes scanned the
darkened room for any sight of movements, then I once again heard the same chuckle that made
the venom in my fangs fill my mouth. "Edward, about time that you have decided to grace us
with your presence." I swallowed the venom in my mouth, looking for where his voice came
from. I heard him snap his fingers and suddenly all the lights in the room turned on.
I blinked my eyes a few time and once they adjusted to the brightness of the room, they darted to where
he was standing and then to the ground below him, another deep growl forming in my throat.
On the ground by his feet was the crumpled and broken form of my Bella. There was too
many cuts to even try to count, bruises and a lot of dried blood on her clothes and skin. Her
hair was matted to her face from blood, sweat, and tears. If it wasn't for the fact that her chest
was rising and falling with the smallest movements of her battered breathing, I would've thought
she was dead. Aro roughly kicked her body to the side like a rag doll as he walked over to me,
making the growl that was in my throat erupt loudly, my fangs again dripping with venom.
"Now, now, Edward. Restrain yourself. Your little human girlfriend is still alive, just barely."
he smirked as he said this and continued to walk towards me. I crouched down in defense,
ready for whatever it was that he was planning to do. He stopped a few feet in front of me and
again grinned wickedly, as if he knew some deep dark secret about myself. "Calm down, Edward
I won't do anything to you and I won't do anything else to harm your precious human girl. What
I have planned is something much more...entertaining." I looked at him square in the eye now,
confused. "...Entertaining?" I said in a flat tone as he began to circle me like a predator watching
it's prey. "Oh yes. I will certainly enjoy the outcome of this." he said as he stopped in front of me
again. "You see...I'll make this sort of..a game, if you will." "You and Miss Swan will be stuck
here in this room, with no way out, for four days while I report back to Volterra." he smiled
as he spoke.
"Now, here's the fun part: you can either stay stuck in this room for four days with
her while you grow hungrier and she grows weaker. You can Try to fight your way out of here
with her unconscience form becoming your handicap and our advantage. Or, the final choice, you
can Change her. But I doubt that would work since you wouldn't be able to stop yourself since
you need to feed and even if you weren't hungry, he blood sings for you.
She is you La Tua Cantante after all. And if by some miracle, you do manage to change her, you'll have
to not only watch her writhe in pain for three straight days, but once the transformation is
complete, she'll become ravenous with hunger and I doubt even you would be able to help
her." once he finished he was smiling uncontrollably, like he was just told he had one the lottery.
"So, Edward, I'll leave you too here to mull things over and to decide what fate most appeals
to you." he started to laugh again as he continued smiling and strolled to the door behind me.
When he opened it I smelled the scent of many other vampires and there thoughts were all
mostly the same, ones of wishing for a chance to kill me and drink Bella's divinely-smelling
blood. He turned to look at me once more before shutting the door.
"Remember, Edward. You and Isabella have four days. Have fun." he smiled and then shut the door. Leaving
me and Bella alone in the room.
