Survive For Me
Chapter 3: Unimaginable Pain
Then there she was, two feet from me, next to the big double doors. She smiled and then she was gone. My chest gave one last sharp tug before I threw my body, carelessly against the door. The chain around it broke and I fell through.
I landed on the stone floor with a quiet thump! The doors behind me swung shut cutting me off from the outside world once and for all. Then the tugging in my chest ceased. It had finally stopped. Was this it then? Was I supposed to die in here for some fucked up reason? I don't care, I'm just thankful it will be all over soon.
I rolled over on my back, looking up at the ceiling hoping it would be quick. I always thought my father was going to be the death of me. I was right. This was his fault, all his fault.
But then I heard footsteps approaching me rapidly. I heard a loud, shocked, gasp. I would be shocked too if someone just broke into my property and died on it. Well sue my dead corpse bitch. I lazily rolled my head to the right to see some woman standing there. She appeared to be 5'6" tall, with long, black hair and olive-toned skin, as well as being slightly beautiful, but no where near as pretty as my momma.
She rushed off without another word to me. Who could blame her? I'm nothing to look at. She's probably calling the police to remove my dead, decaying body off the property. I'm decreasing their property value by the seconds.
My eyes slid close and my breathing stopped.
Mercy, was my last thought.

The red thick hot liquid slid down Aro's throat with ease. He greedily pulled the life source out of the barely alive tourist. The burn in the back of his throat was soothed by the red substance as he swallowed the last mouthful before letting the cooling corpse fall to the ground with a soft thump! He looked at his brothers to see they had all finished their dinner as well.
Just as Aro was about to sit down on his throne he collapsed along with Marcus and Caius. They all fell to their knees, clutching their chests tightly, gasping for air as the intense feeling of pain washed over them.
"Marcus," Aro said in alarm as he stood up still clutching his chest.
"It's coming from the mating bond," Marcus saw the bond wavering before his very eyes. The once bright glow between him and his brothers and her was now slowly crumbling and fading. It only meant one thing.
"She dying!" Marcus cried before launching to his feet to run out the door Aro and Caius on his heels.
~SFM~
Forgive me god for I have sinned.
I have tried to leave this world behind.
I have caused them an unbearable amount of agony over my selfishness.
Never again.
Never again shall I leave them to fend for themselves.
To suffer alone in this dark and cruel world.
Forever alone with nobody to love them.
For them to live in pain while they trudge on.
To keep their secret safe from humanity.
To keep balance while their hearts break.
Forgive me god for I have sinned.
I have tried to leave this world behind...
I tried to leave my lovers behind...
I tried to leave Aro, Marcus and Caius all alone.
Punish me to the depths of hell god.
For I deserve it.
For I have sinned.
For trying to leave my three kings.
~SFM~
I screamed into the dark as I felt my body wake up to unbearable pain, mainly in my chest, and leg. God it hurts! Why?!
"Shh mia cara. You'll be okay, you'll be fine," I didn't know whether the voice was trying to convince me or himself of that. "Just hold on my sweetheart." Is it a guy? It's too masculine to be female. Why is there a guy talking to me? Who is he?
I cried out again when I felt my ribs break, or mend back into place. It was one of the two. Were they killing me or helping me? I didn't know but what I did know was that I was hurting, badly.
Please! Make it stop! I'll do anything!
"Felix! Give her the morphine! Now!" I heard someone different call out. Who's Felix? Morphine? Who needs morphine? I cried out when I felt something cold and slimy on my stomach, causing a stinging and burning sensation to appear on my open wound.
I do! I need it!
"It's okay sweetheart, shh, you'll be okay." I felt something cold in my hair moving up and down in a soothing manner. A hand was petting my tangled brown curls, or at least they were brown until they were drenched in my blood, sweat, and tears.
"She has two broken ribs, internal bleeding, a lot of blood loss, a stab wound on her abdomen and a concussion." I heard a someone list off.
No shit Sherlock! Thanks for the update!
"I have to stop her from bleeding out. Alec, grab that belt and tie it around her leg." I felt pressure on my right leg like it was being squeezed, probably by said belt.
Please, help me. I was not above begging at this fine moment.
"I will mia cara, just a few more moments and you won't feel the pain anymore."
I whimpered, arching my back hoping to soothe the burning pain in my stomach and chest.
The cold, what felt like, hands held me down gently, preventing me from moving anywhere. I felt something prick my bony wrist. I felt a cool liquid being entered in my bloodstream.
What is this? What's going on? Please tell me!
"It's alright, Leonora. Felix is just injecting the morphine. You won't feel the pain anymore, darling."
Was that an Italian accent? So I was still in Italy then. I could feel everything being numbed down, the agony finally started to resend.
How do you know my name?
Never mind, fuck it. I don't care, just please... help me. I don't want to die.
A few minutes ago (from my perspective at least) I was fully prepared to die alone but now that I've heard his voice, I never wanted to leave him. My chest wasn't tugging, but it was crying in relief at being so close to this man, the one helping and soothing me. I can't leave him. I don't know him, but I know I can't leave him.
Who are you? I thought in a desperate attempt to distract myself from the thoughts of death.
"Aro, my darling,"
Aro... unique name. I like it.
You can read my thoughts... how?
All of my senses started to fade.
Oh Gods have mercy. I'm so scared. Will you stay with me, Aro?
"Of course we will," I felt something cold being pressed into my cheek before completely losing feeling.
Wait a minute.
Who's we?
~SFM~
"Leonora!" I heard him scream from downstairs. "Come out come out wherever you are!" I hid my face in my knees to muffle my sobs. The stairs creaked and groaned under his weight as he drunkenly clambered up them, tripping on them. "What's the matter Lenny? Don't want to see your old man!"
A crash came from across the hall.
He was getting closer.
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
I heard his heavy footsteps coming closer to me by the second. I curled myself further into a ball trying so hard to disappear from here.
I frantically tried to go to my happy place. My momma and I were outside playing tag. I tripped on a twig and went tumbling down bringing my momma with me. We would laugh at each other as we picked the twigs and dead leaves out of our hair. We smiled and turned to the bright ball of gas that continues to give us warmth.
The sun.
The rays of light bounced of our little cottage house and hit my momma. She looked so beautiful with the light hitting her at the right moment. She looked like an angel. My angel. My momma. Her blonde curls fell past her shoulder down her back. I was envious of how kind and gentle my momma was. Her blue eyes, I had inherited from her, locked on mine and she smiled at me.
"I love you so much, Leona."
That was her private nickname for me. Only she was ever allowed to call me that. It was special. She took her hand and brushed away a few strand of chocolate hair away from my face. Her eyes shined with so much light it was physically blinding; like staring at the sun too long but you just couldn't help but stupidly to stare at its magnificence.
"I love you too momma... more than the universe." I whispered burrowing myself into her chest as her arms wrapped around me.
"More than the universe," she agreed.
We would stay like that for hours on end in my happy place... but then the monster came. His black, greasy hair lifeless eyes and scarred body would show up out of the blue and rip my mother from my arms. He would beat her and break her bones until she breathed no more leaving her eyes just as lifeless as his, leaving me to do nothing but scream at him to stop to take me instead.
He never did.
He never will.
Speaking of monster, I think he found me.
The door to the hallway closet ripped open, roughly bringing me out of my dream turned nightmare only to see the nightmare standing right in front of me.
"There you are," he cooed at me before his hand whipped out and grabbed me.
I've never screamed so loud before in my nineteen years of life then at that moment.
The moment where nightmares come to life.

The three kings hovered nervously around their fallen mate. They had arrived barely in time to find her almost dead in a puddle of her own blood, sweat, and tears by the entrance of their property. Whoever was responsible for making her like this was going to die by their hands if it was the last thing they ever did.
Their mate whimpered in her sleep, shifting uncomfortably on their king sized bed filled with the softest pillows, blankets and silk sheets they could find. They surrounded her instantly, petting, stroking, soothing her until she calmed down.
They had been restless ever since she had passed out from the morphine Felix injected into her bloodstream. Her stomach wound had been healed thanks to Caius venom. Demetri did a good job of stopping her internal bleeding, fixing her ribs, and transfusing her blood with other donors. He had studied medicine a little while ago for the fun of it and now they couldn't have been more grateful.
Alec and Jane had been sent to get more medical supplies in case anything was to go wrong with her again. Demetri was still in the room, on the couch by the fireplace, coming over to check on her and see how she was doing occasionally. Felix was outside guarding the door should anyone be stupid enough to come in. The rest of the guards were told to stay away from here, punishable by death. They were not risking their mate by some hungry guard wandering in here at the wrong moment.
They had seen her full body damage when Demetri ripped of the lower part of her shirt to get to the stab wound. The poor thing was starving! Her ribs poked out painfully and you could see every vein, bone and muscle through a thin layer of pale skin. It was horrifying to see her like that.
Once Aro had touched her hand he was consumed with nothing but pure, animalistic, blinding rage of hell when he saw what her poor excuse of a father had done to her over the years. He had calmed himself down for her sake to soothe her worries and frantic thoughts while they tried to help save her until she was asleep. He hadn't told his brothers the details, deciding to let her tell them when she was ready, only that her father was one cruel bastard.
They had waited over three thousand years for her and they were not going to lose her.
Not now... or ever.
A/N: Tada! Leonora has found herself in the clutches of the Volturi Kings! Now will she willingly give them her heart or will she try to run away?
I updated the summary and I would like to know what you guys think. Should I keep it or change it back to the original one?
Thank you for your lovely reviews they make me smile every time. If you see any mistakes please point them out, it would be a great help!
