Now I had the two people I hated most standing in my room and someone down stairs thinks I should be alone. What am I going to do?
"Well Bella. I haven't seen you in a very, very long time. You didn't tell me that you were a witch." Victoria said. Victoria was one of the people I hate. You tend to think that when their boyfriend tries to eat you.
"It was none of your business." I replied coldly.
"No need to be snappy Bella. We are all friends here." Voldermort said. Another person I hate. He killed my parents. I don't think it as too much of a crime to want him dead. But I had the two people who wanted me dead the most standing in my room, there was a 99.99999% chance I wouldn't make it out of this alive.
"I will never be your friend. Why would I befriend a murder?" I yelled back. Maybe if I yell loud enough everyone down stairs will hear me. It was worth a try, even though this room had a silence charm on it. I was doomed.
"Your attempts are wasted. No one can hear you. And no one can get in." Victoria said confidently. I was trapped. I don't know if a stunning spell will work for Victoria but I am going to have to try. Now, just to get them to keep talking.
"What do you want from me?" I asked. Hopefully this launches them into a long explanation.
"See I have wanted you and your brother dead from the minute I learnt of the prophecy. Seeing as you both have crossed my path many times and have survived, I just don't seem to be able to figure out which one of the two of you are the for you the prophecy is referring to. So why not just kill you both and well Victoria here…"
"You know quite well why I want you dead. Your boyfriend killed my mate. Why not return the favor. A loved one for a loved one."Victoria stated.
"So you two have come together to what? Kill me?" I asked. I decided that it probably wasn't best to waste my time in trying to stun Victoria. I realized she has skin hard as stone and you can't stun a stone. Voldermort has fast reflexes, that wouldn't work. What do I do?
"Of course we are not going to kill you. No worse. We are going to torture you. You won't be capable of anything after we are through with you. Your little Eddie won't be able to love you and you won't be able to stop me. Everyone wins. Well expect you of course."Voldermort explained.
"But what do you get out of this Victoria?" I asked curious. She had to know that Edward didn't love me anymore and that I don't love him.
"Didn't you hear him? Your little Eddie won't be able to love you anymore. He will have to suffer day and night and watch you. Now that has to be torture." Victoria said like she was trying to explain something to a two year old.
"But you're wrong. Edward doesn't love me anymore. And I don't love him. We never would have lasted. Edward and I didn't share true love. But I did love him, and I still love him, but as a brother or friend.
"No. You're wrong. You would have to be stupid to not see how he looks at you. He still loves you. Always has and always will. Don't be a fool and try to trick me." Victoria screeched. I was lost at words. Was this bitch so stupid she thought he loved me? Victoria is blind to love. Which shocked me because I didn't realize someone as evil as her could experience love.
"Do you hear that? Someone has broken through the door. Quick Victoria grab my arm. Isabella we will be back, and our next visit will not be as pleasant," and with that they were gone. The second they disappeared all the Cullen girls (including Esme) filled into the room. Hermione and Ginny were following close behind them.
"Bella you can't be that upset. Why did you lock us all out?" Ginny panted once she closed the door. I noticed that behind her the stairs had turned into a slide. I guess that that means one of the boys had tried to come in.
"It wasn't me." Was all I could say. I just stood frozen to the spot. I didn't know what had happened. But now when I really think, I feel fear. Fear because I have a vampire after me and the most feared wizard in history. What am I going to do?
"What do you mean, it wasn't you? There is no one else here." Alice stated as if she was explaining this to a two year old. I forgot how this must look. They must think that I'm going crazy, and maybe I was.
"No. It was, it was…it…Voldermort." I said. I just couldn't bring myself to say the words. Nobody would if Voldermort wanted those dead more than anyone.
"Sweaty there is no one here." Esme said. She probably thought I lost my mind, talking to me like I should be in a mental institute.
"No. He apparted out when he heard your footsteps coming up the stairs. Him and Victoria." I said, trying to get it all out in one sentence. "I need to sit down."
"Of course. Come downstairs and explain what happened." Rosalie said with gentleness to her voice. I didn't understand it. Rosalie hates me.
Once everyone was seated downstairs and all the other Gryffindor's had gone to bed I started to tell everyone what I had witnessed upstairs. "…So then he heard people coming up the stair and he and Victoria apparted out of the room." I finished. I still couldn't wrap my figure around it. They were going to torture me. They thought that that would be worse than dying. They were going to make me like the Long bottoms. I was going to live the rest of my life in a hospital.
"Don't worry Bella. We will make sure that nothing happens to you. We will help fight them." Rosalie said once I finished my story. Once again I didn't understand her kindness.
"Rosalie, you don't have to pretend to be nice to me. I know you hate me." I said. I was over her pretending to be kind. She never pretended. It just wasn't Rosalie.
"Can I please talk to Bella for a minute?" Rosalie asked. Everyone in the room stood up and left me to face, her. "Look Bella. I'm sorry for how I treated you back in Forks. I know it looked as if I hated you. Well I didn't. I was just jealous. And now when I look back at how I acted I understand how stupid I was. I understand if you hate me. I'm sorry." Somehow she got all that out in one sentence. Oh right. She doesn't need to breathe.
"I don't understand."I stated like a idiot.
"Bella I don't hate you. In fact I think really highly of you. You are like the soul of my family. And it wasn't until Edward left you that I realized this. When we left, Alice didn't have a spring to her step. She looked miserable. Emmett, well Emmett went all serious. Can you imagine having to live with a serious Emmett? It was no fun. Jasper was killing himself inside, saying that it was his entire fault. Esme was depressed. I even overheard her say that she hasn't ever felt how she felt since she lost her son and Carlisle, Carlisle was trying his hardest to keep the family together. It just didn't work. And Edward kept blaming himself for leaving you and ruining this family. He even tried to come look for you, he wanted to tell you that the family needed you, but you disappeared. It was then that I realized that without you our family is nothing. That is what changed my opinion. I'm sorry for ever treating you the way I once did." Rosalie finished. I was at lost for words. And somehow I believed every word she spoke. "You and Edward need to talk. Maybe not now. But over time." Rose said trying to sound hopeful.
"Does this mean that we can be friends?" I asked hopefully. Maybe she wanted to be my friend. I know Rosalie treated me badly in the past, but I'm a forgiving person and knew if she wanted I could be her friend, but it would take some time before she gained my trust.
"I would love to be friends." I couldn't help the big smile that spread across my face at these words. She actually wanted to be my friend. Rosalie wanted to be my friend. I just couldn't believe it. Today is just full of so many surprises. "Maybe we should call the others back."
After everyone was seated again, a thought came to my mind. "Maybe I should go tell Dumbodore what happened." I said, I couldn't believe I hadn't thought of telling him earlier. I just didn't know how Dumbodore would react to this. Would he put security on me? I didn't know.
"Yes of course." Carlisle said standing up.
"No you don't have to come. I can go by myself." I said, I really wanted to do this alone.
"Are you sure?" Esme asked. I could sense the worry in her voice and was just so glad I had my mother back.
"Yes. It's ok I know the way." And with that I stood and headed towards the portrait hole. "Oh wait. Harry could I please borrow the cloak and map?" I would need them if I was travelling at this time of night. I really didn't want to encounter Filch. Once I got them I noticed Jasper was standing.
"I'm coming to Bella, no complaing." He stepped under the cloak and started heading toward the direction of the portrait hole with me trailing behind shocked.
I didn't need to worry about professor Dumbodore finding out that I have the map and Invisibility cloak. He already knew.
"Bella I really need to talk to you, do you mind going somewhere afterwards and talking?" Jasper asked. I mumbled as quietly as possible my 'that's fine', and kept walking as silently as possible.
When I was about half way there I checked the map. I froze at what was written in front of me. Snape and Malfoy are right in front of me. I looked up. No they can't be. There is no one there and just at that thought. Something solid bumped into me. I held the map tightly in my arms and jumped back. Luckily the cloak stayed on.
Why were Malfoy and Snape invisible? Why were they hiding? |
"Who's there?" Snape asked pulling the cloak off himself, but leaving it covering Malfoy. How was I going to escape this one?
