Chapter 9: Show

Bella's POV

A tall russet wolf like beast was dragged in with chains on its paws, around its middle and around its neck. It was fighting the six vampires that had a hold of it to no avail. When it got with in ten feet of me, the beast shifted into a man. "Jacob!" I whispered. All over Jacob's face there were half healed gashes, and his chest was covered in raised pink scars.

He looked up at me and as if he was unsure of who I was he asked "Isabella?" I nodded.

I wanted to run to him, but I was unsure of what would happen if I did.

"Ah good you are acquainted with each other." Aro said in a cheerful voice.

"You did this to him! You monster!" I cried at Aro.

"No my dear he is the monster, have you forgotten that he is your enemy?" Aro asked

"Our past is too strong for him to be my enemy, our futures to different to be friends." I replied, I could not look at Jacob, it was too painful.

"My friends let us depart form here so these too can reacquaint with each other." All of the vampires glided off into the shadows.

I walked to Jacob's kneeled form, "Jake what have they done to you?" I asked kneeling in front of him.

"Not that bad, Isabella, been worse, can't think of any times at the…" he started to cough before he could finish his sentence; he spat blood on to the rock floor.

"Jacob, I am so sorry, werewolf or not you did not deserve this; no one deserves this." I said quietly.

"The cuts and bruises will heal, but what you did to my heart will remain forever." Jacob replied solemnly.

"Okay I guess I deserved that. How did they find you, why did they do this to you?" I asked

"We were ambushed by many vampires, I was the only one taken, the others were left wounded, if not dead. They want to get to you, Isabella; they want you to tell them everything about our country. Please don't commit that type of treason."

I couldn't help myself, seeing him hurt like that overpowered my vampire side I put my arms around his neck and hugged him.

"Wait how can you do that? I thought vampires could not control there thirst." Jacob said in surprise.

"My vampire side is overpowered by my worry, and fear. How come you are not dead? The Volturi are human drinkers, and your blood is pouring out of your body, why haven't they killed you?" I asked

"I am a werewolf my blood disgusts them, but it does not stop them from…." He started to cough again. Once he had it under control he looked me in the eyes and said "We are really messed up aren't we, you're a vampire and I am a werewolf."

"And we are both prisoners, they have not touch me yet, but I fear they will." I said looking away.

"They wouldn't dare, your leech would kill them if they laid a hand on you. I would kill them if thy laid a hand on you." He replied.

"You don't hate me?" I asked afraid of the answer.

"Bella, Bella, Bella I hate what you have become, but I can never hate you." Jacob said.

"Likewise my friend." I replied

"Why would you hate me what have I become" Jacob asked, he still didn't get it.

"It is not that you are a werewolf, it is that you have allowed your wolf part to take control." I replied.

"I know, but really can you blame me? I lost you, this is all my fault." Jacob said with tears in his eyes.

"Don't you dare blame this on yourself" I replied making him look at me.

"I believe you have gotten to know one another, now Isabella kindly step away from the wolf." Aro replied the cheerfulness in his voice was gone.

Jacob looked at me and said "Do it, I'll be okay." I did as instructed.

Jane walked into the room and stood by Aro, "May I please use my power now?" she asked in an almost whining tone.

"Not just yet my pet, Isabella will you please tell us your story?" He asked

"No, I will not." I replied standing as tall as I could.

"Very well then." Aro clapped his hands together and a dozen vampire guards stepped out of the shadows. "Please escort these two to the cell, chain them both. Make sure you use vampire proof chains for the girl."

Then they advanced on me, I kicked, I bit, I screamed, but they still got me under their control. They took me and Jacob to a deserted end of the castle. They pushed me against the wall and wrapped a long chain around my body; my feet were not touching the floor. Jacob was chained by the neck, hands, feet, and middle.

A young vampire girl, came in and smiled "You must be Isabella, well I have something I must show you." She went up to Jacob and simply touched his chest, he screamed in pain, when she removed her hand I saw a gash with blood poring out of it. The girl laughed evilly "And that my dear is only the beginning." Then she approached me.
