I stare at the blond guy as he comes in through the hidden door. I still couldn't see exactly where it is when he comes in but I was pretty sure I could maybe get it open the next time I was alone. Emmett and I had to get out of here. These monsters were capable of mind control. "I'm here to escort you back to your room Isabella. Your room mate was injured and the others are seeing to him now." blond guy says as I feel strangely calm. Emmett was hurt. One of these people had most likely hurt him but it didn't seem that important. " Stop that." I say calmly feeling drugged. The blonde's eyebrows raise in surprise. He didn't know I would catch on to his little power. "Stop what Isabella?" he asks his honeyed voice reminding me of Novocain as the numbness tries to become a fog. "The numb thing. Its rude to toy with peoples feelings. Didn't you mother ever teach you that?" I ask giving him a scowl. He looks utterly surprised and to my astonishment a little guilty. "My mother would not have minded, she would have thought it a small kindness. She raised me to be a gentleman." Hummmm a gentleman. "Gentlemen do not kidnap people blond guy." I say getting from my chair. Emmett could be dying and here I was fussing with a momma boy monster, bad getaway partner. "My name is Jasper." blond guy says as if to make up for everything. Note to self even monster boys are a bit slow. I just take the lead assured I can find my way back to the room.

I lay n the bed staring up at the ceiling. Well this was just great. Bella was counting on me to get us out of here and what do I do? I break my darn arm, get drugged up , and am bed ridden. I would be in no condition to carry her out of here and be a hero any time soon. I'd be lucky if they wouldn't just kill me. I had no idea what they wanted us for but all the signs indicated us being test subjects. Just wonderful. I glance at the door not surprised to see Bella almost trip into the room. Girl couldn't even walk straight. "Oh god Emmett what did they do to you?" she asked, maybe she was pale, but then again she was always pale. I sigh this sucked.

Alice sat waiting for me in our rooms. "They don't think we are a threat." she says quietly. She doesn't have to explain who. "What happened Alice?" this was in no way good. We had left out home to help stop the war or at least slow it down. We had all agreed this was the best way to keep our home safe and now the very ones we were trying go help saw us as weak. "They took Bella from Forks. They think we are nothing and I can see what Aro wants Jazz. He wants to keep us here. He wants us to become part of his army." She says a little blandly. What Aro wanted were Alice and Edward. Sure he would like to use my powers and Rose was good with the babies, but we were expendable. A future seer and mind reader were much more valuable. I can tell Alice is looking through the future trying to find our escape route. I would never let Aro get his hands on her. If they thought we would be subdued easily they were messing with the wrong group of vampires. Alice suddenly beams. "Ahha my plan is working and its the right route." she says already at the door. "Don't worry Jazz, we have a couple of weapons." she says leaving no doubt on her way to usher Bella into Edward's arms. My little matchmaker was sure to make weapons out of the humans and I would be sure to have a plan to destroy this place and all the goings inside of it.

I look at Alice. Just great. "Come on Bella we have some exploring to do." she says pulling me from my bed. I go willingly. When Emmett had recovered we would need to know the layout of this hell hole and hopefully there were some easy exits. "Now I haven't even been in this part of the keep." Alice says as if we were really exploring, not like she was up to something. I glance around noting no guards but no windows either and very few doors. "Lets try this door." she says opening a door that looks like all the rest. I run into her as she stops in the doorway. "Immortal children." she says in a whisper. I catch a glance at what looks to be a day care with children of all ages inside before she shuts the door. "I have to tell Edward. Stay here Bella, don't move." she says and suddenly she is gone. I lean against the wall unnerved. They were stealing children. "Ummm excuse me mam could you maybe come in and play? They don't think about us much." a little boy around seven asks. With a head full of red curls and dark eyes he is adorable. "I'm Bella." I say steadying myself. No need to scare the children, they've been through so much already. "I'm Noah." he says dimpling. I follow him into the room looking over at least thirty children ranging from toddlers to preteens. What were these monsters doing to little kids? All the children stop and stare, even the toddlers. "Uhoh Noah your being bad." a little girl in pigtails says from a drawing table. "We supposed to wait for them to bring food." another little girl says, all the children continue to stare. "I'm just so hungry, you understand, right Bella? I don't want to hurt you, but I need to." Noah says and he dimples again and I shudder. They were monster children. "Lily stop her" Noah says softly looking at pigtails. "They forget about us and we have to feed the little ones." an older boy says. Lily walks up to me and I realize I cant move! I cant make myself move! "This will only hurt a bit." she says and I scream.

I let him read my mind showing him the children and that Bella was still there. Edward is out the door without a word. I stay back needing to be far away when he gets to her. I wouldn't be able to stand the smell of her blood, but he will. He would make it to her before the children killed her, but he wouldn't be able to save her humanity. Bella would become a vampire. I was sorry for my future best friend but time was running out. We needed her now. Old kings would soon give way to new.
