Bring on the Shackles

BPOV

I opened my eyes, seeing a face in front of them. It was a man, good looking with brunette hair. He felt very muscular. He was carrying me. He, suddenly, looked down at me. Putting me to my feet, I was confronted by four men.

Three were sat in chairs and the other was standing behind them.

I felt the hair on the back of my neck stand on end, I was quite frightened.

The man in the middle spoke. 'Good Evening Isabella. It's finally nice to meet you.' He stood and walked slowly towards me, almost floating. He had translucent skin, jet black, long hair. His eyes were a milky red, very unsettling. 'May I have your hands?' His held his out to take mine. I paused but continued and gave my hands to him. He closed his eyes, almost like he was trying to feel something. 'Interesting.' He let go. 'Marcus?' He turned towards the one on the left.

The one called Marcus also had jet black hair and red eyes. He looked quite scary, in a depressed way. Like something had made him completely apathetic and taken all his emotions.

'She has many.'

'Anyone here?'

'Carlisle, Molly and...Felix.'

'Tell me how?'

'Carlisle in a father way soon, Molly is already a friend, but soon maybe a sister. Felix in a way I can't explain.'

'How so?' He walked to Marcus and took his hand. The man who was carrying me stepped forward. His face was confused. I guessed he was Felix. He looked at me, his mouth twitched slightly. I looked back to Marcus and the other man. The man looked at me. 'Felix, take Bella to a room.'

'Master Aro?' The man was named Aro. He nodded. Felix turned to me.

'Come on.' I followed him down many hallways and into a room. 'This is your room, mine is right next door. If you need anything...'

I nodded. He smiled slightly and left. I looked around. There was a small window, no locks.

'Figures.' I looked out and all I saw was forest.

'Only thing I've heard you say since I brought you here.' I turned to the voice in shock. Aro stood there. 'You have a boyfriend, don't you Isabella?'

'Yes...' My thoughts drifted to him. 'Edward.' I said, almost inaudibly.

'You do realise that you will never see him again.'

'I guessed that I wouldn't.' A tear fell from my eye.

'Don't cry Isabella. You have a very strong tie to our Felix. Maybe you should talk to him.'

I turned to look out of the window again, tears now falling rapidly from my eyes. 'I'm sorry, but I need a moment.'

'It will get better.' I turned to talk to him again, but no one stood there.

A girl walked in. 'Hello, I'm Chelsea.'

'Bella.'

'It's nice to meet you Bella, I'm sorry we had to meet in these circumstances but we can be friends if you want.'

'Yes, I'd like that. Why am I here though?'

'Because they desired you. You have something they possess. Either beauty or some kind of gift. They plan to turn you, like the rest of us. I wouldn't be surprised if it is beauty, you are very beautiful for a human.'

'So, I'm guessing you aren't human, what with the red eyes, and none of you look albino.'

'You got that right. Trust me, it's not too bad. After a while you get used to it all.'

'What exactly are you?'

'A vampire, Bella.' I nodded, almost as I expected that. 'You and Felix will be good together.'

'Why do people keep saying that?'

'Marcus saw a great tie between you two. Romantic I think. He may not be your soul mate, but if you can't find your soul mate, it can be hard. Living a life alone, when everyone else has their meant to be with them. Mine is Afton, he is another of the guard.'

'I'm glad you have someone. I did...'

'Don't worry Bella; I'm sure you and Felix will be good together. He may seem like a big scary vampire guy, but inside he has the most amazing heart.'

'Sounds like someone I know. A friend of mine, he seems like someone who would beat anyone up, but he's just like a teddy bear really.'

'Well you will love Felix then.'

She opened the wardrobe, and then suddenly disappeared, but within 10 seconds she was back again, with a handful of clothes. She hung them up quicker than humanely possible, and then brought me a midnight blue silk dress. She helped get it on and then turned me to a mirror. I smiled. Usually I didn't like wearing dresses, but it felt appropriate, as all the other girls were wearing them, with cloaks over. She tied the cloak round my neck and shoulders, I felt like someone from lord of the rings. I pulled my hair out of the pony tail it had been in, my natural curls cascading down my back and across my shoulders. She gasped.

'Your hair is beautiful.' I smiled at her.

She gave me a pair of small blue heels. I was a bit edgy about them at first but she helped me walk and I grew used to them.

'Right, it is time to go see Aro, come with me.'

AroPOV

I walked down the corridor, determined to catch our trespassing visitor. I saw her flash of brunette hair. Grabbing her wrist I pulled her away and down to our dungeons.

'What do you think you were doing, interfering with Bella and our plan? You now must die for telling our secret and betraying the Volturi!' Jane and Alec stepped out of the shadows. I saw Molly collapse whimpering. Alec numbed her. I stepped behind her crumpled body and lifted her head by her hair. Whispering into her ear, 'That boy will die for your mistakes,' and ripping her head off.

I turned to Jane and Alec. 'Tell Demetri that when Edward arrives, bring him down here and inform me. Make sure Felix, Chelsea, Bella and the rest of the guard never find out about any of it. Especially those three though, they can never know.'

BPOV

I followed Chelsea back the way Felix had taken me. We arrived in the big hall again. Sat there were Marcus and the other two I did not know.

'Bella, the one standing is Carlisle, he is very nice. The other one sitting down is Master Caius.' Two women were now standing next to Master Caius's chair and Master Aro's chair. They were very beautiful. The one stood next to Master Aro's chair smiled at me, I returned it. 'The women are their wives. Next to Master Aro's chair is Sulpicia and the one next to Master Caius's chair is Athenodora.' I nodded.

'What about Master Marcus?' He looked at me the moment I said his name.

'Later.' She said, dismissively.

Aro walked in, looking quite pleased.

'The guard may enter.' Nine other vampires walked into the room. I only knew of one of them, and that was Felix. 'Isabella,' I looked at him, 'This is the rest of the guard, introductions can be done later, you will have enough time to learn all of the names. I'm sure you have already guessed that in a few days you will become one of us, till then Chelsea and Felix will look after you and tell you everything that you need to know. You will need to wear this as part of us.' He handed an interesting necklace to me. I looked at it closely. It was a V shape, with a crest inside it. On the crest were 2 birds and 2 trees. At the bottom of the V was a red gem. Another red gem was on the top with two wings either side. Apart from the red gems, it was a golden bronze colour. (AN: Look on profile for picture) It was quite beautiful. I put it round my neck and stuck it inside the top of the dress.

'Thank you.' He nodded and he, Marcus and Caius left the room with their wives. Followed by the guard and Carlisle, leaving only Chelsea, Felix and I.

Chelsea turned to me. 'Well, I'm going to leave you and Felix to talk about the vampire world, as I have some work to do.' She turned to Felix. 'Be nice and take care of her.' She walked off.

A few awkward moments passed. I looked up at him. He was staring at me. 'Want do you want to know?'

'I don't know, um...'

'Well, would you like to know what our extra abilities are?'

'I bet I can guess.'

'Oh, a challenge, go ahead.' He laughed.

'Inhumanely good hearing and speed. Then everyone has extra abilities. Then being vampires, I'm guessing you drink blood and can't go out in the sun...'

'I'll stop you right there before you start mentioning crucifixes and holy water. You got all of those, with inhumanely, as you put it, good sight as well. We can't go in the sun, not because it burns or any of that shit, but because our skin sparkles. And not everyone has extra abilities. Some do, but Carlisle reckons we bring a trait from our human lives. Mine is strength and fighting.'

'It's all very new, very interesting.'

Another pause silenced the room.

'Listen, I know what everyone is saying, but I'm not ready and I can guess you aren't as well. I know about your boyfriend and you have had to leave him, never being able to see him again. And I...We have only just met. What I'm saying is...do you want to be just friends for now?'

'Yes, I'd like that.' I smiled at him.

He smiled back.

AroPOV

A day had passed and I was near to expecting Edward. He had been taken to the dungeons; all there was left to do was kill him.

'Good Afternoon Edward. I've been expecting you.' His eyes went wide.

'I'm guessing you are not Carlisle and Molly hadn't had the chance to speak to him.'

'You guessed right. You are quite smart.'

'Where is Bella?'

'Ah, young Isabella, I'm sorry, I killed her yesterday Edward. She was just no use to me.'

He collapsed to the ground.

'Edward, I will let you live, as long as you never come back here or go near anyone you knew previously. But I will have to turn you. Either that or die?'

'Turn me.'

BPOV

A few days later I was with Felix. He said it would be sunny and told me he'd show me his skin.

'Come on. I'll show you now.'

He led me to the room next to mine, which I assumed was his. There was no bed, just a couch, a bookshelf and French doors with a balcony.

'No bed?'

'Oh, another thing, we don't sleep.'

I followed him out on to the balcony. He stood there, removing his cloak. He wore trousers and a shirt underneath. He undid his shirt slightly and waited for the sun to come through.

The sun shone through the clouds, shining a ray down onto Felix. He looked like an angel. His exposed flesh, with each ray, began to sparkle like little diamonds had been planted into his skin. He looked up, closing his eyes, as if he were basking in the sun's warmth. I walked forward to him, he seemed not to notice. I placed my hands on his chest, drawing my hands back immediately, feeling his icy touch. He grasped my hands, placing them back on his chest. It was so erotic, yet sweet. We had grown so close in the last few days, if it had been days.

To tell the truth I had no idea how long I'd been in this place. I couldn't even remember my life before I came here. It was strange, like I had no memories left, like they had all been sucked out from my brain.

I looked up to Felix's face. He was looking at our hands. I watched as well. He slowly intertwined his fingers with mine, running them down mine, soft and sensually. I could feel a sort of twinkling in my stomach, usually known as butterflies. He, finally, brought his hands down. He took one finger and ran the back along my cheek. My senses tingled, his finger was barely touching my skin, yet it created such an amazing feeling. I closed my eyes, as he lifted my chin. I felt his hard, icy lips on mine. He pressed softly, yet there was firmness. A sweet, yet passionate kiss. I ran my hands up his toned stomach and chest, sliding them to his shoulders then round his neck, as our lips moved in sync. His tongue slid along my bottom lip. Moaning, I opened my mouth. As I did this, his sweet breath brushed the wet spot were his tongue had run, causing a feeling I'd never felt before. His tongue clashed with mine.

'Mmm...Felix.' I moaned. He began to place gentle kisses on my lips and face, all over, sweet, gentle kisses. He traced them down my neck softly, but not too gentle, and then along my collarbone. I felt exposed, as he slid the top of my dress off of my shoulder. His hand ran smoothly along my shoulder, creating such tension in my body, not an awkward kind but an erotic, sensual kind. He began to kiss up again. He stopped just at my jugular vein. He nibbled slightly on that spot. It felt spectacular and I couldn't help getting lost in our own little world. This was the furthest I'd ever dared to go with Felix, we hadn't even kissed and yet, it felt strangely familiar.

'Bella...' he moaned.

'Turn me Felix, turn me. Bite me.'

He gave me one swift long kiss and bit hard. I felt pleasure and pain at the same time. They were a good mix. That's when the burning came. It was just pain now. He let go of me placing me on my bed.

Three days worth of long pain to endure.

FPOV

I watched Bella go through the pain. I had become so attached to her, like she was a soul mate without all the fuss over gravity. I loved her; I loved Isabella, my Bella. It was hard to watch her, but every now and then I place a gentle kiss on her cheek or lips or hand. I had not left her side since I bit her. No one had intruded our moment except Alec who would, now and then, numb her pain. I fed her blood while she turned, hoping she would not have to feed a lot at first. It would help her to control her blood lust. It would also help her to realise the difference between blood lust and emotion.

Until she had turned, all I could do was wait and hope for the best.
