Painful Call and Bloody Temptations
BPOV
"Call them." Aro ordered. I thought of telling him to go and screw himself, but thought better against it. This may be the only chance to say good bye. The only chance to tell them that I love them and to keep on loving each other even if I'm not there. I took the phone Jane and dialed Edward's cell. I can only guess what they're doing right now. Probably arguing right now. I could see it now, Jacob and Edward yelling at each other, everyone on edge. Edward answered on the second ring. His voice as pain stricken and drowned in worry and concern.
" Bella! Are you alright? Are you hurt, what's-" I cut him off.
"Edward, I need for you to listen and put the phone on speaker for me." My voice empty. I couldn't risk for him to hear my tears and the pain in my voice, because Edward being Edward, would rush down here and try and save me, without listening to reason and get himself killed. And I couldn't bare to think of that not right now.
"My guess is that everyone is arguing about me not being able to come home so, stop." I said. And just as I thought they began to argue with me all at the same time.
"Bella are you insane you can't stay there?"
"We don't care what your saying we're coming to get you!"
"Bells what the hell were you thinking, if you think we're just going to leave you there then you've lost you mind!"
"Bella how can you ask that of us?"
"Little Sis, have they hurt you?"
All of them talking at once was starting to give me a massive headache, and I needed for them to shut the hell up.
"Stop! I have made this chose and I wont go back on it" She said. They stopped almost atomically. I sighed softly. It was the only way to save her, I thought. The only way to get her out of here and back to your loving arms. So please don't hate me for it. Please.
"Stop! I have made this chose and I wont go back on it" She said. They stopped almost atomically.
"Jacob are you there?" Jake's voice came though the other line.
"Yeah Bells. So is Seth and Leah." He said softly. Ah, Leah. The BFH. Bitch From Hell. Man I still hated her, but it didn't matter because she hated me too. She hated me because I had caused Jake a lot of pain for being in love with me, thought that I was a unbelieving vampire with out a heart or and lets not forget that I dislocated Seth's shoulder (but that really wasn't my fault, he had gotten in the way). Well I really didn't care because I from the fact that she made me feel like crap and wouldn't let me forget about who much pain that I had caused him, that and she almost got him killed when the newborn vampires had come to kill me. So yeah I thought we were pretty much even.
"Hey Seth. Leah." I said Leah's name coldly. What can I say, forgive, but never forget.
"You and Edward must be fighting." I sighed. It wasn't a question, but a statement. With all the fighting they would constantly do around me I didn't even seem surprised about. Hell it had got so bad that I told them that I was Switzerland. I shook my head.
"You know what? The really sad thing is that I'm not even surprised."
"Bella-" Father said, but I cut him off again.
"No Edward, let me say this. Love each other. Love each other like it was your last moment. Cherish everyday like it was the end of the world. Try not to get into to much trouble- that means you Emmett-""Hey! I resent that!" I couldn't help but laugh softly at him. He always made me laugh, no matter how down I was or upset.
"As I was saying, love each other with you whole hearts no matter what. Nessie?"
"Yes?" I breath trying not to cry.
"Take care of your father for me, he'll need you more than ever now." I could almost see the tears strumming down her face.
"Okay." She choke out. I couldn't help the tears in my voice because I was tired of hiding them, and I don't think I could have been able to.
"Edward I love you. I love you all. Even though I am not there with you, my love will always be there no matter when you need it. Goodbye everyone." I cut off the phone before anyone could say anything. Then I sank to my knees I looked at the phone that was still clinched in my hands and crushed it. I turned to Aro who was smiling at me. That cold and twisted smile. I glared at him and hissed, before I could stop myself. I lunged for him, like an angry wild cat out for blood. And I felt like one. But I didn't get far. Someone pulled me back so hard that my back slammed into something, but that didn't stop me. I went at him again and again. Every time I was stopped by one of the guards. Dimitri and Flex grabbed me by my arms and forced me to my knees and pulled my hair back to make me face the three headed snake. Caius back handed me several times and grabbed my checks and brought my face close to him. He hissed at me.
"Woooo, I'm so scared. I'll tell you was really funny, that your mother is so fat, that when she went to the fair and got on the Farris wheel, it stopped, and two people starved to death, no wait, I'll tell you what's really, really funny… that you have a face only a mother could love." I said sarcastically. He grabbed me by my throat and once again my back and head was slammed against something hard. He looked about ready to rip my throat out. Until Aro stopped him.
"That's enough Caius. Would you really think see would just think she would be happy being here?" He didn't answer he just released my throat, before he turned he back handed me once more so hard that I went spinning across the room. Getting to my feet I crouched down, eyes red and ready for blood. Aro seemed impressed that I was still willing to fight them. Willing to kill them and wouldn't let up. He was right.
"You know we could just kill your little family." He said. It brought chills down my spin. I straightened up at once. He knew that I would do anything he asked to keep them safe. And so did I.
"You told us that you would no fight us Isabella." Aro said.
"No, I said that I would cooperate, not that I wouldn't fight you." I smiled bitterly. He laughed. Then stopped and looked me dead in the eye.
"You will follow every order, without question, and you will be calling us master."
"Sir." I countered. There was no way in Heaven or Hell I was ever going to call this ass holes Master.
"Now go to your room till we figure out what to do with you." He ordered. Like I was some damn child. I bit back a growl and began to walk to my room.
"Oh, and Isabella," I stopped, but didn't turn around.
"You'll be drinking human blood from now on." Now I did turn around. I could feel my eyes begin to turn black with my rage.
"I will never- never take human blood. I would sooner take my chances trying to kill you than kill an innocent human." He laughed again.
"Do you really think they're all innocent. Because if you do, then you are surly wrong."
"I'd rather be wrong, than take someone's life." His face hardened.
"Then you will starve, and when the thirst be comes so unbearably painful. You will."
"Never." I spat.
"We will see, Isabella. We will see." I walked to my room without turning around. I knew that Aro had two of his guards with me, but I ignored him. Until I had got to my door.
"He had your family killed. The people you loved, your mates, and yet you serve him. He killed everyone that you loved and forced you to sever him so you won't suffer the same fate. Tell me, do you think they are happy that you serve him? The man that took their lives, just because he wanted to add you to his collection of new toys?" I shook my head and closed the door. I knew the person I had to kill first to make the see that they don't want to server Aro and that it was a because of the power of a vampire under his control. I had to do one of two things. One, make her into turning all the vampires against Aro, Caius, and Marcus. Or two, kill her. I was hoping for option one. Aro was true to his word. I hadn't fed since I had gotten here. He would repeatedly send in humans to tempted me, but I would never budge. I stayed in my room, because I didn't want to see their faces. The ones that severed him. The ones that took his orders without question or hesitation. Knowing that he killed all the people they loved so he could have them under his control. I heard a soft knock at my door. I knew it was a human because I could smell and hear the blood pulsing through their veins.
"If you don't want to die, the step away from the door and go home without looking like a frightened rabbit in a dean with a pack of hungry wolves." I said in a cold and empty voice.
"Its me Gianna." Ah, Gianna. She was severed the vampires here. I walked over and swung open the door. She opened her mouth to speak, but I cut her off.
"You do realize they will kill you when they have no further use for you, right? Your just another meal to them. They won't turn you, they will only kill you. And if your smart then you'd say you'd go shopping one day and never return." I said leaning on the door frame. Peering at her. I could see her pulse jumping out. I felt it call to me. Begging me to take it. I took and long breath and slowly released it. I won't kill her. I won't. She didn't look surprised that I had said this. Or that she was only inches away from a hungry and hostile vampire. Stupid woman.
"Master Aro wishes to see you." She said in a polite tone. I looks like what I said didn't have any effect on her. Like I said, stupid woman. She walked in front of me and never turned around to me. I grabbed her shoulder and slammed her back into the wall. I put my mouth so close to her throat. She gasped in surprise and held her breath. So close, just a little bit more then… I released her and was about to push her forward. But be for I did, I saw a look of disappointment on her face. I shook my head.
"If you want to become a vampire then find another family, not this one." I said quietly and that was the last then I said before she continued to walk me to Aro. Aro was sitting on a throne chair with Caius right and Marcus to his left. I stood before them my head raised high. I was going to fined out away to kill this three headed snake, even if I had to do it from the tail up.
"Kneel." Caius ordered. I scoffed at him, but kneeled. I think I'm going to kill him first.
"Very impressive Isabella. You have gone weeks without any blood. Your eyes are as black as night and the purple rings around them even more so. And yet you still refuse to drink. Yes, very impressive indeed, Isabella." I stopped myself from growling at him.
"I told you that I want going to drink human blood and that's what I meant." I said in a empty tone. Had it really been almost a month? It felt more like months if not years. Months without blood, with this constant burning in my throat, and him like the serpent tempting Eve with that damn tree. But really hit me hard was that it had been weeks without seeing my family. It was almost to much sometimes I had almost cried. But I wouldn't give the bastards the satisfaction.
"Yes and your still hanging in there." Marcus said. Well that must be pretty good, since the silent on talked. I had sometimes thought that he was mute.
"But she won't last long." Caius said. Neither will you if you don't shut the hell up, I thought.
"But your wrong Caius. We had even sent Gianna to fetch her, yet she still didn't given in to temptation." Aro said. Okay, I was getting tired of them talking about me as if I wasn't here. If they were going to do that, then I could have stayed in my room.
"Gianna, come here." Aro ordered. She did. Like an obedient dog. For the first time I saw that she had a knife in her hand. What the hell was he…? Then I knew, he was going to have her cut herself and temped me even more. Before I could open my mouth, that's what she did. She cut her arm and blood started to drip to the floor. I had watched it come from her arm and onto the floor. I had watched like a hungry animal. Like a starving dog following a big juicy bone. Before I knew it I was walking toward her. She held out her arm. That's when I stopped dead (no pun intended), in my tracks. Ripping the sleeve off of the shirt I was wearing, I rapped it around her bleeding arm. She winced when I had tightened it.
"Sorry." I said softly. When I was done, I pushed her away from me and turned to back to them. My eyes burning with rage and disgust.
"You sick bastards." I hissed. This didn't seem to faze them one little bit.
"My my, how interesting." Aro said looking at Gianna bandaged arm. Then turned to me.
"Tell me Isabella. Have you resisted this much temptation before?" I smiled bitterly.
"Yeah. In fact I'm resisting it right now." I said. Like resisting to rip their throats out and drink their blood. Now that was temptation. Caius hissed at me. I grinned at him. How good his blood would taste, I wondered.
"Did this ever happen before?" Aro asked, bring his attention back to him.
"You looked inside Edward's head. You tell me," I said. He didn't. So we waited, and waited, and waited some more. I sighed and grinded my teeth before answering.
"My first hunting trip. I had smelled hunters and went to go and find them, then stopped, held my breath, and ran away." I said in a tight voice. Just think about it made my mouth water. I licked my lips then pressed them together. The sent of blood was enough to drive me insane, but I won't give in. But I made the mistake of looking down at my hands, which was covered in Gianna's blood. I had brought my finger tips up to my mouth… No! I thought. I quickly wiped them on my clothes but I could still smell the sweet smell of blood lingering in the air. I had to focus on something else before I'm over come by hunger and kill her, I thought.
"If this all you wanted from me, may I go." I asked in a empty tone, grinding my teeth together so hard that it almost hurt. I wanted nothing more than to rip every last one of their smug heads clean off their shoulders, but I doubt I'd get that far. Aro didn't take his eyes off of me and asked.
"Well you still not take human blood?" I growled at him before I could stop myself.
"Never." I said so icily that I was surprised that he wasn't frozen. He nodded.
"Then that is all. Return to your room, until we call you once again." He ordered. I did without protest. Anything to get out of that room and away from those obsessed, coldhearted, arrogant, cruel, brutal, ruthless, son's of bitches. When I had gotten down to my hallway, I saw him standing there.
"Speaking of son's of bitches." I said in a heated voice. He smiled at me.
"Come now Bella, is that anyway to speak to the person whose brought you dinner?" He asked, holding out a bottle of blood to me. I expected him to bring human blood, but instead it was animal blood. I snatched the bottle from him, then glared.
"Thank you. Now what do you want, Alec?" I said in a cold voice. He smiled at me. Like a cat that got into cream.
"Nothing, I just want to get to know my new roommate."
