Chapter 17

Alice groaned. "I can't see Bella." she breathed out. I gasped. "What?" My eyes turned wide.

B.P.O.V

I was being lead down a dark alley by Lauren, who was all but dragging me by my wrist. Her eyes were locked onto my face as we walked down the dark, narrow road.

She had changed back into her "human form" so to speak. That was her power, though she hadn't told me, I figured it out. Her eyes were back to the icy blue color that I had hated ever since the first time I saw them gawking at Edward.

Tears started to form into my eyes. Would I ever see him again? Would I get to hold him again? To touch him? To kiss him? 'No.' I thought, I'll never see him again, they were going to kill me...

A sob escaped my mouth as I realized this, Lauren looked at me questionably as she stopped at the end of the alley. She pressed her hand against it, and a door appeared in front of us.

I hardly noticed that we were walking down a small corridor now, I had tried to escape from her before at the airport but found in futile, she was to strong for me. I was going to die, I was never going to see Edward again.

Just then I noticed we had stopped at two wooden doors, her hand still grasped my wrist. I hadn't seen the other people, or vampires rather, come up behind us. I didn't care now, I stared blankly at the floor, knowing my fate.

I was never going to see Charlie again…Alice, Emmett, Rosalie, Carlisle, Esme, Jasper, Angela, Jessica, René, Edward….Another cry escaped from my mouth as I began to breakdown. Their faces flashed through my head, I would never see them again... Tears began to fall freely down my cheeks.

'No! I won't give these people the satisfactory of seeing me cry!' I thought to my self, wiping the tears away with one of my hands. Adrenaline began to engulf my body, and soon I lifted my head towards the door, as it began to creak open.

I stood straight up, glaring straight ahead of me. I didn't look at Lauren as she began to pull me in to the now open doors.

My glare faltered for a second when my eyes laid upon 6 cloaked figures.

E.P.O.V

I started to shake uncontrollably, Jasper couldn't even keep me calm. He tried his best but nothing would help.

Not even Esme's worried glances, or Alice's silent sobs could stop me. 'Bella's gone.' It repeated over and over again in my mind. My dead heart ached with sorrow and anger, as I paced back and forth in the living room.

"Okay, thank you." Carlisle said, hanging up the phone he walked over to me. "Edward." he said his golden eyes were darker then before.

"What?" I hissed out, not meaning it to be so harsh. I sighed. "I'm sorry Carlisle." I felt a wave of calmness wash over me, I glanced towards Jasper letting it take over my body this time, I had to think straight. He grinned at me.

'About time.' he laughed in his head,it didn't touch his eyes. I turned my attention back to Carlisle as he put a hand on my shoulder.

He looked at everyone, and then turned to look at me. "We have to go." his voice wasn't the tone I recognized, it was more serious, with a hard angry edge to it.

B.P.O.V

"Ah, Bella! We finally meet!" One of the cloaked figures said, gliding up to me. I tried my best to make my face as calm and collective as possible.

The man put his hood down to reveal white smooth skin, deep blood red eyes, and dark hair. "Hello Bella." he said, his voice wasn't what I was expecting. It was smooth and almost…kind?

"…Hi?" I said quietly, it came out as a question, I just then noticed a girl behind him, she too was in a cloak with bright red glaring eyes, pale white sin, and straight black hair.

"I must say Bella, you're very brave coming here alone." he lied looking at Lauren, she nodded her head. That's when I noticed she had turned back into a vampire.

"T-Thank you." I stuttered, surpassing a gulp as I looked at the girl from behind him. She was glaring at me with a confused look on her face.

"Oh where are my manners? My name is Aro…It's very nice to meet you" the vampire, Aro said with a giant smile on his face. His features looked to alien to be comforting I fought back a shiver as he extend his hand.

I brought mine up to his, it was trembling to my utter lack of control. His smile widened as he shook it. His cold hard grasp was as I expected it to be.

He held my hand for a secound longer, then let go. I brought it up to my other hand, to put the warmth back into it. Cautiously i looked back up. "Hmmm, interesting…my powers don't seem to work on you." he mumbled, loud enough for me to hear, his old, cold face turned into a confused expression.

"T-They don't work on Edward either." I whispered, looking down at the ground nervously. So much for my confidence.

"Do you mind if someone else uses her powers on you dear?" he asked me in a calm voice, suddenly intrigued with me. I nodded my head, not sure if I had a choice.

He nodded his head at me and smiled. I noticed the other 2 cloaked figures in the back of the room had an evil smirk plastered on their faces. I gulped. "Jane dear?" He stepped back so the girl who had been behind him stood in front of me, her eyes were glaring dark pools of red.

(A/N I was going to stop there, but I wanted to make it longer for you guys.)

Her eyes were like a deep abyss of blood, they were so red, that I wanted to run out of the room. I tried to turn away, but couldn't, there was one restraining arm around my shoulder. Lauren.

"Now?" the girl, Jane asked as she looked up at Aro, with a smile of excitement on her face.

"Now." he said, giving her a nod. She smiled, showing off her pointy teeth to me, before she glared into my eyes, with a mad expression on her face.

A few minutes past by. Nothing happened. Lauren sighed in disappointment and let her arms drop to her side.

"Interesting." Aro said putting a hand on her shoulder. "Thank you Jane." he chuckled making the girl stop glaring at me for a second, she let out a frustrated growl, and shot me an evil look before turning and taking a few steps back until she was besides Aro again.

I stood still not knowing what to do or say. Aro gave me a quizzical smile, his eyes were knitted in confusion. "This is strange…No one has ever been able to surpass Jane's power…" he mumbled, I heard every word of it.

"Perhaps…" he started giving me a questionable look. "Perhaps we'll keep her." Aro said with a gleam in his eye I couldn't quite understand.

"What?! …Aro! You said I'd get to kill her afterwards!" Lauren screeched, making me jump in surprise.

My eyes went wide for a second, kill me… I knew it. My eyes almost brimmed with tears. 'Don't let them see you cry Bella!' My mind screamed at me, I tried my best to not let the silvery liquid slide down my face.

"…For now." Aro said, winking at me. "If you don't mind, I would like to speak to Bella…alone." he said, looking at the rest of the vampires in the room, they all nodded their heads and left. Leaving me and Aro in the room…alone.

I gulped, fear suddenly swam into my body. My legs turned stiff, eyes wide. He looked at me and smiled.

"Don't be alarmed dear. I'm not going to hurt you." Aro said. I looked at him questionably, trying to figure out if he meant it or not. He laughed.

"Really I won't…I'm a friend of Carlisle's you see…And I know he must have a good reason for telling you what we are…though it is illegal…" He mumbled the last part, to himself. I relax slightly at his words, but still was on my guard.

"I would just like to find out what that reason is you see." He said, his face was calm and tranquil. I would have blushed if anyone else had asked me that. It was simple. I love Edward.

"Though it does seem pretty obvious from what I got from Lauren." Aro continued, my face turned into a mask of confusion. From what he got from Lauren? He looked at me and laughed.

"My power is similar to Edward's…that would probably explain why I can't use mine on you, or Jane for that matter…...I can touch a person, and know all of their thoughts that they've ever had before." he said, I nodded, my legs felt weak all of a sudden.

"W-Will I ever get to see him again?" I whispered the question that has been wracking in my head ever since I woke up on the plane, my eyes were downcast to the marble floor.

He stayed silent for a few minutes, making me nervous. I finally looked up to find him staring at me with a perplexed expression on his face, debating something in his mind.

After another minute his face relaxed, a smile was placed on his lips. I waited with agonizing patience for him to talk. "…Perhaps." he said smiling at me. My eyes lit up with excitement.

Aro vanished, and fell back into the chair yards away from me. I would have gasped in surprise if I wasn't so use to it.

"I don't usually do this……let some human-" he smiled, closing his eyes.. "-know about our secrets and be let free…" he said, opening his eyes to glance in my direction.

"I won't tell anyone." I said, my voice was surprisingly even. He grinned at me. "I know...but I can't let you leave." Aro said, making my eyes go wide in fear, as he vanished, and appeared right in front of me.
