Chapter 33
BPOV
I opened my eyes the next morning and looked around the room. I felt well rested after being able to let go of all of my thoughts and just lay there. The room looked different in the daylight. The white walls made the dark blue furniture stand out more from the walls. I went over and looked out my window. I tried to open it but, of course, it wouldn't open, even if I used all of my strength. I guess that they didn't want me to escape. It was a cloudy day and my room was very high off the ground and I wasn't sure where I was exactly. I knew that I was somewhere near the clock tower from the last time that I had visited here but I didn't know my exact location.
I sighed and went to get dressed. I knew that I was going to be doing a lot of walking today because I was going to ask George to give me a tour. I had no idea how to get around this place so that I wouldn't get lost. I knew that a tour would help me to get the plan to work so that I could find short cuts and so that I could find where they were going to keep Edward and the rest of the Cullens.
I showered and dried my hair until it was shiny and straight. I put a little makeup on and went into my closet. I found a pair of skinny jeans and a black top and put them on. I went to my shoe wall and looked at the hundreds of pairs to choose from. I picked a pair of black peep toes to go with my shirt. I took a last look in the mirror before I opened the door and the guards stood up straighter.
"They are expecting you in the Great Room." One of them said with an Italian accent. I nodded and looked around.
"And where would that be exactly?" I asked. Before he could answer, George opened his door and stepped out into the hall. He looked happy to see and rushed to my side.
"I'll take you to the Great Room." He said falling in step next to me. I smiled at him lightly and sighed. He was beginning to act more like Mike Newton more and more every day. I chuckled as I remembered all of the times Mike had been there to help me even though I had Edward. Mike just couldn't get the message and I shook my head. George looked at my curiously as we continued to walk down the hall.
"What?" He asked and raised his eyebrows.
"Nothing, you just remind me of someone that I used to know."' I said and I listened to his thoughts.
I hope that I remind her of Edward so that she will learn to love me. He thought hopefully.
I chuckled again. "No, George. Not Edward but of this guy named Mike. But it doesn't really matter now, seeing that I won't ever get to see him again since I'm now your hostage." There was a silence and he looked guilty. I felt his emotions and he felt bad that he took me but happy because he thought that I was going to be his and live here with him. Oh how wrong he was, I thought. We got onto an elevator and his guilty silence continued. I sighed and looked up at him. He was looking down at his shoes and I rolled my eyes.
"Hey, George?" He looked up at me with hopeful eyes. "Do you think that you could give me a tour of around here so that I don't get lost?"
"I don't mind showing you where to go all the time." I looked up at the ceiling and then back at him.
"I know, but maybe there will be a time that you won't be around and I need to know how to get somewhere. Please?" I asked and I dazzled him. His face blanked for a minute and his eyes glazed over. The elevator doors opened and I pulled him out.
"Sure, Bella." He said dreamily. I felt bad dazzling him but I learned that I could easily get my way using it.
I gently slapped his face and he snapped back into attention. He smiled dopily at me and I rolled my eyes. I followed him into a huge room with Aro, Jane, and Alex waiting for us.
"My dear, how lovely to see you!" Aro said warmly. I hated him for taking me away from everything that I loved but I had to fake and be nice and pretend that I am enjoying myself.
"Good morning Aro. Jane. Alex." I said nodding at each of them. They both smiled back and I pulled my lips into a half smile.
"Today we will continue your training for the morning and you will have the afternoon and evening free to do as you like. My only request is that you stay with George. Just as a precaution." You mean, just so I don't escape, I thought. I just nodded and George looked so happy that he got to spend more time with me. His thoughts were on our tour. Aro, Jane, and Alex were all thinking about m training today.
Alex cleared his thought and Aro looked from George to me and then back at George. He seemed please that our relationship was getting along and was thinking about it in his thoughts. I tried to ignore his thoughts and turned off my mind reading powers. My relationship was going nowhere with George and that's how I was keeping it. I let out a low growl and his thoughts of George and I stopped immediately.
"Let's get started with your training." Jane said and led us to the same white room as the night before. I noticed that George followed this time and no one said anything.
"I am going to see how you react to a new power. I have found another vampire with a power and Alex will bring them into the room. Tell me how you feel once you receive the power."
"Ok, Aro." I said trying to be cheerful. But how could I when I was away from Edward and my family that I loved. Jane, Aro, and George took a few steps away from me and Alex left the room and returned moments later with another vampire. I felt the familiar overwhelming and tingly feeling as I received the new power. I could tell what my new power was but I wanted them to tell me so that I wouldn't give away too much for when I would have to fight against them.
"Well?" Aro asked. I looked at the new vampire. He glared at all of us. He had short black hair and burgundy eyes. I looked away from his menacing glare.
"I get this overwhelming and tingly feeling whenever I get a new power. I cannot tell what my new power." I told them. They seemed to believe me and Aro nodded in approval.
"Your new power is healing. I want you to try to heal things for me. Blake can heal anything, physically and mentally so I will assume that you can do the same. I want you to practice using this power." Aro nodded at Alex and he led Blake out of the room. He came back with a terrified human girl. I gasped when I saw what was going through Alex's head. They were going to hurt the human and then allow me to heal her.
"No. I won't do that!" I said furiously. Aro looked at with an amused expression.
"But, my dear, you have no choice. This is part of your training and you must practice using this new power. If you want to become powerful, then this is necessary." I shook my head.
"I refuse to practice this on a human that was not hurt by accident." Alex smiled wickedly at me and before I could react to his thoughts, he crushed her hand. She screamed loudly and pulled her hand into her chest and began to sob and yell.
"Opps… That was an accident." He said innocently. I wanted to kill him but instead I looked at the sobbing human. She was sitting on the floor with her hand cradled in her lap. I glared at him as I moved towards the human and sat down next to her. The vampires looked at my curiously as I whispered to her.
"Please, let me help you." I held out my hand and she looked at me with a terrified expression on her face. I could feel the fear rolling off of her and I ignored all of my powers and focused on my healing power. "I can heal you. I'll make it all better." I whispered. She didn't let her hand out from her chest and shook her head.
"No… It hurts. You are going to hurt me." My heart broke for this human and I felt bad because she had only known the bad guys and didn't realize that there were good vampires too.
"No, honey, it will be ok. I won't hurt you." I coaxed.
"What are you people?" She asked and looked into my eyes. I looked up at Aro and he watched curiously and shook his head. I couldn't tell her what we were because that would give all of us away. I sighed and looked back at her hand.
"Come on. Give me your hand so that you aren't in pain anymore." She whimpered as she held out her mangled hand. I gasped as I saw it and took it gently on top of mine. I closed my eyes and concentrated on her hand. I re opened my eyes and she stared at me in shock. The girl wiggled her fingers on her perfect hand.
"How…?" She stuttered looking from her hand up to my face. "You're so cold and beautiful. What are you?" I looked back at Aro and he nodded at Alex. He came and swept up the humans in his arms. He ran out of the room with her and I glared at him.
"We cannot get attached to human here." Aro told me.
"What's going to happen to her now?" I demanded. He shrugged. "You don't know?" I growled at him.
"My dear, what Alex chooses to do with her is nothing of my concern." I sighed because I listened to his thoughts and he wasn't going to say anything else about the human to me.
I rolled my eyes and spent the rest of the morning practicing my power with Aro, Jane, and George. Alex eventually rejoined us and I glared at him. Aro made me practice healing physically and emotionally. Eventually he freed me for the rest of the day. George walked me back to my room.
"We can start the tour at 3, ok? I want to relax for now." I told him before shutting the door. I jumped on to my bed and smiled that my plan to get them to trust me was working out so well. They seemed to believe that I was actually enjoying myself and I wasn't going to try anything. I locked the door and turned my iPod all the way up and dialed Edward's number.
"Bella!" He breathed.
"Edward! I miss you!" I squealed.
"Oh, love. Are you ok? Are they treating you ok?" He sounded concerned.
"I'm fine and the plan is working out great! Guess what?"
"Hmm?"
"I learned a new power. I can heal people now." I told him excitedly.
"That's great, love. I can't wait three more days to see you. I want to come now."
"I know. I can't stand being away from you. But we have to be patient so that this will work and we can get to each other safely."
"I can't sleep at night without you and knowing that you are all alone." I laughed.
"You can't sleep."
"Well, if I would I wouldn't be able to because you aren't in my arms." I smiled. Our conversation lasted for two more hours until I heard a large knock on my door. I said bye to Edward and I turned down the music. I opened the door and George was waiting for me.
"Hey, Bella." He said. I could tell that he was nervous but I couldn't tell why.
"Hi George." He began to walk down the hall and I followed. I pretended to listen intently to his guiding but I was just looking for where they kept the vampires that they captured. Finally he led me to a large stone door in the bottom of the building.
"This is where we keep prisoners."
"Can we look inside?" I asked. I wanted to see how easy it would be to get in and out of here. George nodded and opened the door. He nodded to the guards and led me inside.
"This is Bella. She's with us." George said as the guard looked at me suspiciously. He smiled briefly and George showed me inside of the prison. I acted like I was really interested and asked about the prison and how it worked. I learned all of the vital information in order to plan the escape. He led me out of the prison and around the rest of the building.
The tour was over around 5 and George took me to the bar to get a drink. I had a 'Virgin Bloody Mary.' We talked with the rest of the vampires and I got them all to like me. Everyone laughed at what I said and seemed to like me.
The next two days passed in a blur with all of the training and planning with Edward. Soon the day that Edward and the rest of our family arrived. I had just gotten off the phone with Edward and learned that they had just landed and were on their way to the Volturi building. I closed my eyes and had a vision. They got captured and were in the prison.
The next few hours went slowly as Aro trained me. A guard came into the white training room and motioned Aro to follow him. I smiled to myself and I knew what was going to happen.
"Bella, you're training is over for today. Please go back to your room now." Aro instructed me.
"Aro, what's wrong? Is everything ok?" I asked innocently.
"Bella, just go please." I smiled at him innocently once more and rushed back to my room. I could hear my family's thoughts. They were all trying to find me but had gotten captured but Alex and other guards.
Edward, Can you hear me?
Bella! Ok we just got captured and now Carlisle is talking with Aro about you. Aro isn't going to let you go. What do we do now?
Edward, let them take you to the prison and I'll get to you. Is George with all of you?
Yes, he's watching me suspiciously.
Edward, perfect. I'm coming right now. I purposely made plans with him tonight so that I could find him but accidently find you.
Ok, love. Be careful.
Cullens, this is Bella. I'm coming now. Don't listen to anything that I say from now on. It's all an act and I have to do this to save all of you and escape. And Edward, whatever I tell George is not true.
They all agreed and I ran into the Great Hall where they all where.
