Then just when I was about to fall into somewhat peaceful sleep, a loud disturbing voice boomed through the hallways.

"BELLA!"

It was Aro and he sounded furious. I don't know what I did. But I know this wouldn't be good.

00000000000

The door was swung open with such force I was totally surprised that it didn't break off its hinges! The man standing in the doorway was beyond pissed off, now at the point that I thought steam would come out of his ears!

He strided towards me, and something I couldn't see was in his hands. He stopped at the edge of my bed and grabbed my arm, forcing me into sitting position. He opened his hands (which were balled up) and held out something for me to see.

It was a very expensive, no, priceless piece of jewelry that had a stone that I didn't recognize on it, very priceless indeed. All I could do was stare at the shiny (very attractive) orange stone.

He pulled it away from my face and began to stroke it very carefully.

"This necklace was stolen a few days ago, I forgot to mention it to you. Then again, when I found it deep in your pocket on your dress, I figured that you already knew."

Then something clicked in place.

He thought that I stole one of his precious jewels. Oh. My. Goth. I was going to get busted, big time, for something I didn't do. I never stole one of his jewels; someone put it in my pocket, to make it look like I stole it. Who could have done it though?

My possibilities were:

Jane

Felix

Ciaus

Marcus

Who else could it be? And I prayed to god that it wouldn't be Jane, because it was like she was the only one who I felt like was there for me.

Anyway, I would figure out later who actually did it. Right now, I had an angry Aro on my hands. Now that the thought progressed in my mind, my fear started to rise. My breath started to become ragged again. I stared at him with wide eyes.

It was like the branding all over again.

"I swear, I didn't do it! I swear! Somebody must have put it in there, because I didn't! Please, please don't hurt me!"

"Oh, sweetheart, my precious Bella. You mean more to me than this stupid old gem. But when I found it not in place, I instantly sent out a search. And guess where I found it?"

My eyes grew even wider, if that were even possible.

"In the pocket of some slave's dress. And do you know whose dress they found it in?

He was slowly inching his face towards mine.

"You, my dear." He said, pointing a bony finger at me.

My heart stopped. He pulled his face back and began pacing.

"Of course, I had doubts about what they told me, after all, I thought you would have learned by now not to mess with me, correction: mess with anybody here. But with the proof they gave me, I knew that I was wrong, and that you have not learned."

I shut my eyes; waiting for whatever punishment he was to give me.

My voice was barely a whisper when I spoke, "Please, I promise to God that I did not steal anything. Somebody is lying, I am innocent."

"Oh no, my dear, its not going to work now. What is done is done. Your punishments will be-"

I flinched.

"- Well, I guess you'll see later." Then he chuckled.

I opened my eyes, and he was gone. Vanished. Into thin air.

What would my punishment be? Would he whip me, make me do stuff, or what? I didn't know what to do, so I slumped back into my bed and stared at the ceiling until I fell unconscious.

I woke up, and I had a major headache. Maybe all the crying I did caught up to me. I checked to make sure I was still in my room, and closed my eyes. After a few moments I became bored with peace and decided to get up. I rubbed my eyes, brushed my hair, put on a fresh dress (no shoes as usual) and got a piece of gum off my dresser, because I didn't know when I'd brush my teeth next, surely not here, there were no sinks.

I spotted a paper on my desk from across the room. I walked over t it and saw what I wrote on the first (or second) night. I smashed it into a ball and threw it into the garbage.

I cracked open the door and looked into the hallway.

Then I saw someone I didn't really want to see.

What is with cliffhangers and me? Oh well it makes you the reader want to read on, so the story isn't boring. Okay so I need, oh, let's say a new total of 67 reviews before the next chapter. I'm so happy about the reviews I'm getting. Oh speaking of reviews, here are some that I loved for chapter 7:

Chapter 7- Branded

.xlol- This is amazing! I'm normally really fussy about fanfiction (as in so fussy it's unbelievable) but I've been hooked since the first paragraph! Please update soon! I can't wait for the next chapter! :) X

Okay there were a lot more great reviews over that chapter but I'm only going to share 1 with you for each chapter.

WARNING: Next chapter contains very bad stuff (though I won't go into to much details) and only mature peoples should read it. It is, you know, about R-A-P-E.

Oh and who is the person that she sees in the hallway? Try to guess in your reviews! Love ya,
