Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, SM does.
Chapter One: No Turning Back
Bella awoke to find herself in some sort of clearing, in the same woods that her and Peter had been walking in. She sat up, wincing in pain when the movement jostled her arm. She was sure it was broken.
Looking across her, she saw Peter. There was a nasty wound on his head, presumably the blow that had knocked him out. So it wasn't a dream.
Bella noticed that the two men were no where to be found, and wondered if they had left them. She began to slowly crawl over to Peter, to try to rouse him. If the men had truly gone, or even if they had not, this was the perfect time to escape. Once she had reached him, she tried to shake him gently with her good arm. "Peter, wake up!"
Peter groaned, but slowly awakened after a few minutes of her shaking him. He immediately stiffened as he remembered what had happened. "Bella, we have to get out of here."
"Not so fast. We're not done with you yet." The two men had returned, their eyes gleaming even more red than before. "We only left to prepare ourselves for the fun."
Peter glared at them in hatred. "What do you want from us?"
The men shrugged. "We are merely doing what our mistress required of us. No hard feelings."
Bella shook her head in exasperation. "We do not know anyone else. We live miles from the town. Who would want to hurt us?"
The man with blond hair sighed. "Well, you're going to die anyway, so why not? You two are pawns in a much larger game. We were told to torture you in order to gain the allegiance of another. That person being your brother of course."
Bella gasped. "My brother is dead."
The other man, who had long black hair, spoke with a chuckle. "In a manner of speaking, I suppose."
Suddenly, he appeared in front of her, his fingers on her cheek. "Such a shame to harm such a pretty face."
Peter tried to shield Bella from them. "Don't touch her!"
The man laughed. "I could break you as easily as I could snap a twig in two." And with that, his foot landed on Peter's leg, breaking it easily.
Peter grimaced in pain, biting his lip to stop himself from crying out. He wouldn't give these men the satisfaction of hearing how much pain he was in.
The blond-haired man spoke again. "Trying to be brave are we? And so protective of the woman…"
Bella seemed to still be in shock at how easily they had broken Peter's leg. "Who…or what are you?"
The black-haired man smiled menacingly. "I am Laurent. He's James. And we're vampires."
Bella felt a shiver of fear run through her, but she wouldn't give them the satisfaction of seeing how afraid she was. "What are you going to do with us?"
An almost maniacal gleam came into James's eyes. "I do love to play games..let's see how long I can torture you before you beg me for mercy."
Peter narrowed his eyes. "I won't let you get anywhere near her!"
James snorted. "I'm afraid you won't have a choice. Don't worry, you can watch. Laurent!"
Laurent went over to Peter and effortlessly lifted him off of Bella. He drug him away from her, ignoring the kicks and angry shouting, and restrained Peter so that he wouldn't be able to break free.
Bella's fearful eyes made contact with Peter's as she braced herself for what was to come.
James smiled menacingly. "I love it when they try to be brave. Makes everything even more entertaining."
Peter continued to fight against Laurent, even though it was a futile. "If you hurt her, I'll kill you!"
James just ignored him and stalked towards Bella. "Have you ever heard the Little Piggy nursery rhyme?"
Bella glared at him defiantly and refused to answer.
James shook his head and with one swift move, broke her leg, causing her to bit her lip to stop from crying out in agony. "I don't like being ignored. It is rather rude. Now answer me."
Bella stared at him with hate but answered him. "Yes. I've heard of it."
James smiled. "Good. Because I would love to play it with you." He sat down in front of her and grabbed her good leg, ignoring her attempts to kick him away. He swiftly removed her shoe, revealing her bare foot.
"This little piggy went to market." With a flick of his wrist, her broke her big toe.
Bella bit down on her lip so hard that it drew blood to keep from screaming.
James inhaled. "You smell absolutely delectable." He looked over at Peter. "Looks like your friend has given up struggling. Have you?"
Bella shook her head angrily, but didn't blame Peter. There was no way that he could get loose anyway.
James shrugged. "Very well." He snapped her next toe. "This little piggy stayed home."
Tears were now coming down Bella's eyes, but she still didn't relent.
"This little piggy had a loaf of bread." He snapped her middle toe.
Peter had tears coming out of his eyes too.
"This little piggy had none." James broke the next toe.
"And this little piggy went 'Wee! Wee! Wee!' all the way home." And with that, he snapped Bella's pinky toe. Bella couldn't contain her agonized cry.
James grinned at Bella sinisterly. "That was fun, wasn't it?"
Bella gave him a cold stare. "No."
James sighed. "Alright then. I think I'm running out of time. I'm supposed to torture you until you break. And I'm afraid you're not broken yet. There really is only one thing left to do."
He began to lean towards her with the same crazy gleam in his eye as before. His hand began to trace the edge of her dress and the next second, he had ripped it off of her. She was now left in only her undergarments.
Realizing what James was about to do, Peter yelled and fought even harder to break Laurent's hold, but to no avail.
Even Laurent appeared to think that he was going too far now. "James, I think you should leave the girl alone now."
James glared at his companion. "I was asked to do a job by our mistress and I will do it thoroughly. You'd do well to remember who you serve."
Laurent shook his head, but made no move to contribute in James's actions.
Bella tried to back away. "Please..don't do this."
Peter was struggling against Laurent even more. "I'll kill you! I'll hunt you down and kill you!"
James ignored him and let his finger trail along Bella's bare legs. "It's a shame to harm someone who is so beautiful." His hand inched higher until he had revealed her thighs.
Bella was pleading now, tears streaming down her face. "Please. Don't do this. Why are you doing this?"
James's gaze hardened. "Because of your brother. He's like me now, you know. He refuses to serve my mistress and he will face the consequences of that choice. Don't worry. I won't kill you. My mistress does want you alive after all."
Bella realized that fighting would only harm herself more, so she locked eyes with Peter and resigned herself to her fate.
James smiled evilly. "I knew I would break you eventually. But I'm sure this will only send you over the edge even more."
As he spoke, he pulled down his trousers and leaned over her, resting all of his weight on her. Bella screamed out in agony when he entered her forcefully, tears falling down her face.
Peter did not break eye contact with her, convincing himself that if he did, she would become even more aware of what was going on. Peter hated himself for not being able to protect her from these animals. Tears were coming out of his eyes and the only thing he was thinking was that he wished he were turned into a vampire. Because if he was, then he wouldn't stop until these men were dead.
Peter watched as the light that had always been in Bella's eyes faded away, to be replaced by a blank stare that made her seem almost lifeless. Once James had finished he gave a nod to Laurent and before Peter knew it, all he could feel was fire.
Back in Mexico
Jasper couldn't stop the smile that crossed his face. Today was the day that his year with Maria was finally over. No more battles, no more training, no more ending the lives of newborns who didn't even know what was going to happen to them.
He walked over to Maria's tent, where he found her looking at him with a mournful expression on her face. Jasper knew that it was all an act. Her emotions showed that she was feeling confident and triumphant.
"Oh, Major. I don't know what I'll do without you."
Jasper fought the growl that rose in his throat. "You told me you'd let me go in a year."
Maria sighed. "I know, and I will keep my word. But I would like to show you something first." She gestured for him to follow her.
Jasper narrowed his eyes at her but decided to humor her. He knew that she was planning something, but nothing would keep him from going back to his sister.
As soon as Maria was sure that he was following her, she began to run until they reached a lone tent that was miles away from where the newborns were. The closer they got, the more Jasper was able to hear the screams that were coming from the tent. It was distinctly that of a male. He knew it to be the sound of someone changing.
"Why have you kept him so far from the rest of the newborns?"
Maria smirked at him. "You'll see."
Two male vampires suddenly came out of the tent, one blonde, the other with black hair. The blonde vampire seemed to be the leader of the two, and he addressed Maria. "I did as you asked Mistress. We will leave now."
Maria nodded. "You have served me well. I will contact you when I need you again."
Both of the vampires nodded and took off.
Maria turned to Jasper. "Go on, Major. I think you will like what you find there."
Jasper was confused, but something was telling him that he needed to see what was in the tent. He opened the flap and anger was immediately pulsing around him. That bitch had somehow found his family.
His eyes immediately shot to his sister. She lay on her side and seemed to be staring unblinkingly at the opposite side of the tent. Under further scrutiny, he saw that she was covered in bruises and appeared to have several broken bones. Jasper fought to control his anger.
Jasper kneeled by her side and gently touched her arm. As soon as his hand made contact, she flinched and murmured, "Please don't hurt me."
Jasper felt something die inside him. His sister had always been strong and to see her like this was heartbreaking. "Bella, it's Jasper."
Bella made no sign of having heard him, but he could tell that her breathing was labored. Jasper knew that he would have to turn her, he could hear her heart gradually slowing…she would die soon if he didn't do anything.
Jasper took a deep breath, then stiffened. He could smell blood. He scrutinized her from head to toe and then stopped when he looked at her legs. He hadn't noticed that she was in her undergarments, and trailing down both legs, was blood.
Jasper shook his head, not wanting to believe that Maria would stoop this low. He would kill her.
Jasper went rigid as he felt a hand touch him. It was Maria. "You won't have to worry about your family anymore, Major. As soon as your friend finishes changing, he will put an end to your sister. He wouldn't be able to stop himself."
Jasper was trembling to stop himself from killing Maria. Peter would never forgive himself for killing Bella.
Maria sighed. "That is unless you continue to serve me. Then I will allow your sister to…live. She will have to be changed immediately of course. Your friend will be waking up soon."
Jasper could feel Maria's smugness. She knew that he had already made his decision. "I will do as you ask."
Maria smiled. "I knew you'd make the right choice. I will give you a week. When that's over, I'll expect you to return, with both of them, of course." She laughed and ran out of the tent.
Jasper couldn't contain the hatred he felt for Maria and roared out his frustration. He heard Peter's heartbeats speeding up and knew he had to act now. He lifted up Bella's hand. "I'm sorry, Isabella." He bit down and injected his venom into her.
There was no turning back now.
A/N I know it's kinda short, but I wanted to leave Peter and Bella waking up from their change for the next one. I know this chapter is sad but it's necessary for Bella to become the badass she'll be as a vamp XD Review please.
