AN: So I suddenly felt like picking this up again. Yeah, I'm lame, I know. Hopefully I'll be able to finish this one, though I don't yet have a clear version for the end as of yet.
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, but I own Alex and Dani, two characters lost in my overburdened mind.
From that last moment, I could only remember flashes of memory. A black limousine with tinted windows, the three mysterious men talking in low voices.
"I don't much like taking her with force Caius," Aro admitted, drawing off his black leather gloves slowly.
"We had no choice. We offered her the option of coming quietly and she refused," Caius answered. "Either way, we all know that she would never have left the Cullen's. Their strange attachment to each other has always been a source of strength for them".
"Unfortunately brother, you are correct again. She had already formed a rather sticky attachment to the Cullen's, and no wonder, with them saving her from her irresponsible maker."
"You see, we had no choice. In any case, we have her now and we'll need to get to work." Caius gave a steely glance to Marcus, who nodded solemnly. Aro sighed.
"Yes brothers, I agree. However, I feel that her bond will be much more difficult to break than previously expected. Her sense of love and loyalty is far stronger than any I've seen. I'm afraid simply convincing her of our philosophy will not be enough. We'll have to do more than that. We'll need to erase her memory, have her start from scratch."
"Break her?" Marcus asked, his deadpan voice taking on a shred of interest. Aro frowned and wrinkled his nose as if an unpleasant stench had wafted into the airtight car.
"Perhaps. We'll have to do something drastic to have her change her pacifist attitude towards humans. That must be the first thing to go. I'm sure you have some idea on how to go about that Marcus…correct?" Marcus nodded at his brothers request. "Good."
I had listened to the entire conversation with my lips shut tight, and the pressure was beginning to make my lips numb. Erase my memory? No. I refused to lose myself again to someone else. I could not live not knowing who I am or where I came from again. I just couldn't.
"No!" I exclaimed, " You can't do this to me." I began thrashing in my restraints, kicking open the door to the moving car, wiggling my way into the sunlight. "You can't take who I am! I don't care what you do to me, my memory is mine!"
"Hold her Demetri!" the terse order was called out and iron hands clasped onto my arms.
"Don't even try to run little girl. Anywhere you go, I can find you, that's my special talent." I felt his whisper in my ear, sending chills up my spine. "Though from what I hear, that talent might be yours soon too." I struggled crying out when his nails dug into my arms, on the verge of breaking my own unbreakable skin.
"Please Demetri, give us peace for the rest of our journey." Aro requested and I could almost feel Demetri smirk. He twisted my arm until a sickening pop was heard from my shoulder, pain encompassing my thoughts, blurring my mind until I fell limp in his arms.
AN: It's short, but I already have the rest pretty much ready to go. It's just a matter of editing and uploading now.
