A/N Ok..here is the second to last chapter! I hope you enjoy! and, as always...REVIEW!
Bella POV
"Today's the day!" Adrian proclaimed. Adrian was the head vampire; I had learned his name yesterday when he was talking to Felix and they believed me passed out from loss of blood.
"How did you make all this happen?" I asked, planning on getting information.
"Well, my dear. Richard, the vampire that likes to go for your wrist? Well, Richard can send false visions to people; so I ordered him to send a vision to your perfect little pixie of a friend. It disgusts me, vampires being around that scum!"
"Who are you talking about?"
"Why, your perfect little Edward, my dear. He's never told you? Hm…that seems pretty odd, for you to tell him everything and he to not tell you anything."
"What are you talking about? Edward tells me everything."
"Did he tell you about Maria?"
"Maria? You mean the vampire Jasper met?"
"Yes, the very same. You see, Maria was my mate. Then one day, she was out hunting when she stumbled upon your Edward. Words were exchanged, and in the end…he killed her. Tore her limb from limb and burned the pieces. I have never forgiven him for the 200 years I have lived."
Edward would never do that, it had to have been a mistake on his part. I was about to tell him such when Adrian kneeled down in front of me.
"Bella. Today will be the end of Edward and the Cullens. If, when it's all over, you still wish to be a vampire, I can bite you, letting the poison spread. I've heard from Felix that you are an interest for the Volturi. I could make you a vampire."
"Rot in hell," I said, putting as much hatred and venom into the words as I possibly could.
"You. First," said Adrian, and he left.
Shortly after my confrontation with Adrian, Richard came in, grabbing me into his arms and taking me out to where the others stood. "Ready to go, Bella?" asked Demetri.
"Leave me alone," I mumbled.
"Let's go," Alec said, and together the vampires took off.
We arrived at an abandoned warehouse on the south side of Port Angeles and went inside. There were boxes everywhere, and Richard carried me to a chair that stood in the center of the room. From the door, it was hard to spot the seat, but it was there nonetheless.
Plopping me down in it, Richard tied my hands and legs to the wooden frame. I heard shuffling, and then I was alone, the only sound my own breathing.
Hours passed and I found myself dozing off, unable to stay awake, even in lieu of the danger about to reign over me.
I woke to a startling noise and jumped awake. "Bella? Bella! Bella where are you?" I heard Edward call.
"Edward? Oh, Edward! Help me, please!" I answered from where I sat. A blurred figure and Edward was standing in front of me.
"Edward!" I said, starting to cry from relief. "Edward, where is everyone else?"
"They should be around the building, surrounding up the vampires that kidnapped you," he replied, starting to quickly untie my bindings.
"Edward, dear, you really must be more aware of your surroundings," said Adrian from where he stood behind Edward.
Edward whirled, turning towards the spot where Adrian, already crouched and ready to lunge at his attacker.
"I wouldn't do that, if I were you," said Adrian, and he gestured around him at the perimeter around my chair. Each and every one of my soon to be family members was held by one of the vampires that kidnapped me. Richard had Emmett, his teeth poised and ready to tear Emmett's head from his shoulders. Aaron held Esme in a similar position to Richard. Rosalie was held by Alec, Carlisle by Demetri, Jasper by Louie, and Alice by Nathen. Each and every one of them held in positions similar to Emmett and Richard's.
Felix came up behind Edward and held him, grasping him around the stomach and gripping his own hands, his teeth coming dangerously close to Edward's neck.
"Stop! Felix, stop hurting Edward! All of you! Leave them alone! Adrian, I you want me, then fine, take me, but leave my family out of this!" I screamed with as much force as I had left in me.
"Bella…" Edward began, but Adrian cut him off.
"Edward, do you know who I am?"
"You are Adrian, as Bella said, but you are also the vampire responsible for the kidnap and torture of my dear Bella. What exactly did you do to her?" Edward asked with the same calm anger he used in referencing Jacob about my broken hand a while ago.
"Well, I could probably show you better than I could tell you. Bella? Are you ready for more? I haven't done it yet today, and I'm absolutely famished," said Adrian. I just nodded my head meekly, wanting it to be over.
Edwards's eyes opened wide in disbelief as Adrian walked over to me. All of my family's eyes were on Adrian as he walked over to me, and I felt sad they had to witness this.
Adrian smiled at me, and, because I was sitting down and my inner thigh was hard to reach, pushed back my hair from my neck. Adrian had taken to biting my inner thigh; he claimed it was it was because it was the most potent area on my body for blood; I thought it was because of two things. 1: it was the most sexual spot on my body aside from actually biting inside of me, and 2: because it sparked the most reaction from me; because it hurt the most.
Adrian ran his nose along my jaw-line, much the way Edward did, and took in the heady scent of my throat. His lips made a trail along my neck, sickeningly present in my ever growing hell. My Angel's here and he shouldn't be. What's worse, my whole family very well might get killed right here, right now, I thought sadistically.
My eyes closed as Adrian's lips finally made purchase on the skin of my neck, parting to be able to bite me. When he didn't bite right away I wasn't worried, he usually played with me before he bit me, trying to get into my head. He started sucking on my neck and my lips parted in silent scream, wishing for the "foreplay" to be over and for Adrian to just get on with it.
I felt my skin stretch up with every suck of Adrian's lips. My face scrunched up in disgust and his tongue began to work my skin as well. I knew he was putting on a show for my family, and I didn't want to play into any of his actions. As he worked, Adrian's left hand crept behind my head, holding it up as if I was unable to hold my own head high. His fingers twined into my hair and tilted my head back even farther than it already was.
I heard gasps and cries of distaste from my family, and agonized moans from my Angel, but there was nothing I could do. Adrian's lips parted even further and his teeth bit down on my neck. I screamed loudly, pain and agony flowing from my neck.
Edward cried out loudly in pain, but I kept my eyes closed, hoping that Adrian would stop sucking my blood soon. When he pulled back his mouth was covered in blood, but the venom still worked its way through my system. I cried out yet again and started begging for Adrian to suck the venom out.
"Beg me to touch your neck. Beg me to kiss you," he ordered, his tone reminding me so much of James.
"Please!" I screamed. "Please, touch me! Kiss me! MAKE THE VENOM DISSAPEAR!"
Adrian attacked my neck yet again, and I screamed louder than the times before as the force of his bite hit me. I felt him slowly suck the blood from my neck, but when I felt the flame no longer still he drew my blood from my body.
I started to feel lightheaded, and I knew that was my end. "Edward, I love you. I always have," I called out to him. Then I lost all ties to reality.
Again.
HAHA! What will happen to Bella? Will she be alright?
