Kind of intense in this chapter. ENJOY!
-Emmett-
It was the end of school and I was sitting in the bleachers along with my family. Mira was running laps with the rest of the girls that were trying out. Only the funny thing about it was that they just started their third lap while Mira was on her fifth. I looked around and saw some guys groups on the other side of us. They were watching the girls with perverted smiles. I wasn't that much of a pig.
Mira was done with her laps and was now talking to Coach Green. She was the varsity coach and was also a French teacher. Green was saying something to her about her physical and Alice ran over to her and gave it to the coach. Alice was on top of things today. I took my wife's hand and she smiled at me before turning her attention to Mira. The whole team was doing stretches and Mira was talking to Ashley. I had seen them talking in the halls like they were best friends.
I heard Edward growl and I saw he was staring at Jason Grant. I traveled his gaze to Mira. She was oblivious as she and Ashley starting to do push ups along with the other girls. I growled too along with Rosalie. Jason didn't even notice. I saw Mira stick her tongue out at him. Why was it she was so free with humans? Oh yeah cause vampires ruined her life. Great, another minus on the vampire side of that argument.
"Okay girls!" said the coach. "I want you guys to get into a line and we will practice spiking." Mira was the last in line, but was joined by Ashley who cut in front of her. It took about a minute before Mira was up in front. The setter set the ball and Mira did her three steps. When the ball impacted with her hand, a huge smacking sound mixed in with one of her grunts echoed through the gym. The ball was driven down to the ball, only about two feet from the net on the other side. Everyone's mouth hung open as she looked around with a little bit of awkwardness in her stance.
"Fuck," said Jasper with a smile as he stood up and started clapping. Soon everyone else was clapping along with the team. Mira gave a bow before walking to the back of the line. Every spike she did was as intense as the first. I was really impressed.
"Alright take a break will quick while me and the coaches evaluate you guys," smiled Coach Green. Mira ran up to us with her body shiny with some sweat. Edward handed her a sports drink and she chugged it in three gulps.
"How did you learn to play like that?" I asked.
"I've always loved the sport…and so did Joseph," she growled at the end. "He'd make me play Volleyball just so that he could see me sweat. I fucking hate him with a passion, but I love the sport."
"Hey Mira," called Jason.
"Be right back," she smiled before running over to them. Jason, along with the other jocks, gave her high fives and hugs. The family didn't like it one bit. I focused my hearing on them and them alone.
"That was badass Mira," said Jason. "Maybe you could show me sometime."
"Maybe," she giggled shyly.
"Pinky promise with a kiss?" asked Jason as he held his pinky out. Mira rolled her eyes, but looped her pinky with his and they both kissed their own thumbs. She then ran over to us and wiped her sweating arm on Bella before running down to join the coaches and team. I laughed as Bella looked at her arm in disgust. She glared at me and I shut up. Then she smiled and Edward kissed her on the forehead.
The rest of the tryouts Mira seemed to excel in everything she did. She was the best at serving, passing, setting, and everything else that came with Volleyball. Jasper said he sensed some victorious feelings coming from all of the players. Edward said their thoughts were all of how they were going to try and get better than Mira, yeah right. She was a beast at Volleyball, and her strength was surprising since she had a tall, slim build. I was soon going to have to verse her in this sport sooner or later.
-Mirabella-
I was in a room with silk tying my wrists to the iron head canopy over the bed. I wore white lingerie and black silk sheets were soft under my skin. A dark figure walked up to me, revealing a blonde man with a muscular build and he looked around the age of twenty two. He crawled on top of me, whispering seductive things in my ear as I fell under his spell. I felt my back arch to where his bare torso touched mine and a smile appeared on his lips. He bent down and kissed me lightly on the lips, working his way down to my underwear. A sick part of my mind was enjoying what he did to me after that.
Cold sweat laced my skin as I shot up from my bed with my heart pumping rapidly in my chest. I gulp, running my hands through my hair as my door burst open to see the whole family, besides Carlisle since he was working, come into the room. I stared at them with blank eyes until Esme came over and embraced my shivering body. I could only imagine what my eyes looked like. Shadows under them and bloodshot.
"What's wrong honey?" she asked.
"It was just a nightmare mom," I whispered softly.
"Normal nightmares don't make you wake up doused in sweat and have bloodshot eyes sweetheart," she countered softly. "What happened?"
I turned away, not wanting to tell. "It was just some past memories," I croaked as a few tears slid down my cheeks. I felt them be brushed away and saw Bella next to me. She smiled at me sadly before kissing me on the forehead. She was such a caring vampire.
"Mira," began Edward. "Please tell them," he begged. "Bella already knows, but the rest of the family needs to know."
I glared at Edward as Esme said, "What? What's wrong?" Esme looked at me. "Mira, what to you need to tell us?"
"Hey guys," said an exhausted voice as Carlisle appeared in the room. His face turned to a frown. Perfect! He decides to pop out now! "What's wrong?"
"Mira, tell them," urged Edward. "They won't think that and you know it."
I gulped, not looking into anyone's eyes. "I…" I sighed as memories flooded my head. "You see…" I ran a hand through my hair. It was so much harder to say when the whole family was looking at you for an answer. I closed my eyes, feeling Esme run her hands through my hair. "I was a sex slave," I said in a very soft whisper. I heard a huge growl coming from a corner of my room and saw Rosalie with here eyes pitch black. I glanced at Jasper and Alice who were looking as if they were about to cry along with Esme. Edward stood with Bella while holding her and Emmett had the same colored eyes as Rosalie. Carlisle, he looked livid.
"How could you do that to yourself Mira?" growled Carlisle. "How could you allow that to happen?"
"I didn't have much of a choice Carlisle," I shot back.
"What choice was there?!"
I stood up, walking up to him until we were only inches apart. "Hm…let's think about that for a second, shall we? Put yourself in my fucking situation! Joseph is the master of the coven I was a slave in. He was a very muscular blonde vampire with a temper and a longing urge for me since I was eleven fucking years old Carlisle! If I didn't comply with his demands I'd be raped to the point of almost death and have to go through a torture that tore me to pieces. I went through two years of fighting him until I matured physically and then he used his powers on me! I was robbed of my virginity and free will from that son of a bitch! So if you think I actually had a choice, I think you should reconsider what you said."
Carlisle was stunned and he didn't know what to say. I turned to Edward who was also stunned silent.
"Did you know that after a while I actually enjoyed what he did to me? His powers are seduction and the ability to make a woman bend to his needs. When I turned thirteen…he could use those powers on me." I pulled down my tank top and turned to show everyone my scar. "When a vampire sucks the blood of a mortal during an orgasm, it makes it stronger for both, and then the pain comes to the mortal. He'd have his followers suck out all of the venom before it reached my heart. Every day he did this to me! And even when I would bend to his will, he'd make me endure my ultimate torture." Hot tears fell down my cheeks and I tried to control my breathing.
I felt cold arms embrace me and my body sway with whoever was rocking me. "He's going to pay for what he's done to you."
"You can't change the past Rosalie," I said.
"Yes, but we can kill the person who's going to give another girl that possible future."
I stepped out of her embrace, looking at her straight in the eyes. "You…can't kill him. He's stronger than Emmett and he has my brother. If you kill him, his followers will kill Antonio and my parents."
"I thought you said you hated your parents and that they were dead," said Esme.
"I do hate them, and they were turned into vampires. Only they're more like wraths now…So they are basically dead." I wiped away a tear. "The coven doesn't feed them as often as they should and they don't look remotely like a vampire. They're skin is a grayish color, their cheeks are hollowed out, and their eyes are blacker than black. Their stares are blank and emotionless. It's as if they can't feel anymore. I...I try to talk to them….but they just stare off into space." I sniffed a little. "I blame them for this…Because of that bet I had to watch them suffer for two hours every day." It was silent for a while as I looked down at my floor.
"Who was Brooke?" asked Jasper. "Edward was murmuring her name to Bella earlier."
I glared again at Edward, but he didn't even return his gaze. "She is the vampire who taught me the art of seduction. I know everything to make any man or animal in the mood. I know all the tricks because of her."
"Why were you taught that?" asked Emmett in a hard voice.
"Joseph loved to role play," I hissed before sitting on my bed. Again, another silence that seemed to linger in the air. I looked at the clock. It was three o'clock in the morning. There was really no use in going back to sleep now.
"You're really brave for going through all of that," whispered Alice.
"It doesn't take bravery to go through what I did Alice, it was fear and love for my brother. If I did what was commanded of me, then he'd be safe. Plus, I haven't really told you guys the whole story…" I stared down at my hands. "I don't really think I could go back to those memories…" I could, of course, but I really didn't want to talk about some other tortures I had to go through.
Esme pulled me into a hug and rocked me back and forth. She was more of a mother than my true mother was. "Try and get some sleep then…" she whispered as a feeling of fatigue came over me. I looked over at Jasper who winked at me before I drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
-Emmett-
She slept soundly in her bed as I brought her computer chair over to where she slept and sat down in it. When she slept, she looked so peaceful. She looked like she had never gone through so much. She looked like a normal girl trying to make the best things happen for her in the world. Now I knew why she was so scared of me. Joseph was a muscular vampire, and so was I. I didn't feel bad about it, I just understood now. I understood that I scared her. Not by my personality, but by the way I looked.
She shifted in her sleep, her body facing me. Her hair had fallen into her face and one of her hands was peeking out from under her comforter. I hesitantly brushed the hair out of her face and took her hand in mine. Mira stirred a little, and then relax with a smile on her face. I smiled too, watching her sleep some more.
"How is she?" asked my father's voice. I turned to see him in the doorway with a concerned expression on his face.
"She's just sleeping," I whispered before turning back to my sister. Carlisle walked up to her bed, sitting on the far corner of it. He had been quiet since her outburst on him. I could only imagine why. Carlisle had never been so angry in his life, at least from what I've seen. And then what Mira said. I couldn't think of one single person who had spoken to Carlisle that way. No one really had a reason to, until now. I could see why she did that too. I knew from the beginning that Mira never had a choice, and I guessed that didn't cross his mind.
"I called Aro, and told him what we found out," my father finally said. "It seems that they can't find any kind of coven in Europe with a master named Joseph. They must be well hidden if they could get past the Volturi Guards."
"Joseph is smarter than we thought then," I said. I noticed Mira cringe whenever I spoke his name. "And by what Mira said, he's also very strong."
"We better get her up," said Carlisle. "It's almost six."
I nodded, brushing my fingertips across Mira's cheek. Her eyes fluttered opened and she looked from me to Carlisle. She rubbed her eyes and sat up. "What time is it?" she said in a voice full of sleep.
"Six," said Carlisle. "Now get up, you have more tryouts tonight."
"I'm sorry," she said to him as he got up. He looked at her, waiting for more explanation. "For yelling at you like that. It…wasn't my place. You were angry and so was I." Carlisle smiled, walking over to her and giving her a hug.
"It's understandable," he whispered before kissing her on the head and walking out of the room. She looked at me and then yawned. She fell back on her pillow.
"Let me sleep some more," she said while closing her eyes.
"Nope. " And with that, I picked her up fire man style and threw her into the ice cold water of the shower fully clothes.
"EMMETT!" she screamed as I ran down the stairs and hid in the garage for the rest of the morning.
Ello!
