Asylum
Bella's Point of View
I picked up my dress ran towards the back exit; I opened the door which startled my dad;
"Bells, where's the fire?" he asked.
"Get inside now." I said scanning the alley.
"Bella…" he started.
"DAD I SAID NOW; ALL OF YOU." I said.
They went inside and as they went in Damon, Tyler, Jake, Paul, Emmett, and Jasper came out.
"Bella what's going on?" Damon asked me as he wrapped his arms around me.
Before I could answer I heard a hiss and turned to see the man I considered my whole life at one point;
"Keep your hands off of her." Edward said stepping out of the shadows.
He was still the amazing Greek God I gave my heart to. His eyes held anger, but when he looked at me they held love and regret.
"Edward what are you doing here?" Jasper asked.
"Alice saw Bella get attacked by Victoria so we came to protect her." He said.
That snapped me out of my paralyzed state, "I don't need your protection." I said turning my gaze away from him.
"Yes sparkles she has me." Damon said.
"YOU TOLD THEM!" I heard a shrill voice say and turned to see Rosalie stalking towards me.
Damon pushed me behind him and bared his fangs which caused her and everyone else to freeze.
"What is he?" I heard Paul ask.
Damon's face changed back to normal, "I'm what you call an original vampire; I don't sparkle in the sun."
"You're with another vampire!" Jake snarled.
"That is none of your business." I replied.
"B, what's going on?" Tyler asked.
"Who are you?" Rose sneered.
"Don't worry about it." Ty replied and then looked at me.
"Remember when I told you I was attacked by a cold one?" I asked Ty and Damon nodded. "Well he had a mate and now she apparently wants me."
"She won't get to you." Damon stated.
"She isn't yours to protect." Edward growled.
"I'm no one's to protect because I can handle myself." I said.
"Right the human can handle herself." Rosalie mocked.
I focused on her and flung her against the wall, "Not exactly human Rosalie." I said and then released her.
"How did you do that?" Jake asked.
"B, I can't believe you even hung out with them they are so ignorant. I was able to figure out what you are when we were six." Tyler laughed.
"I'm confused." Paul said.
"Bella, do you sense that?" Damon asked me.
"She's watching us." I said.
"Who?" Ty asked.
"Victoria." I replied. Tyler started to get pissed, "Ty you gotta chill alright." I said.
He started to calm down, "Let's go back inside she isn't going to do anything." he said.
"Come on Isa." Damon said reaching for my hand, but in a flash Edward was between us.
"She isn't going anywhere with you." He seethed.
"Edward back off." I said.
"What happened to you?" he asked turning to me.
My anger flared, "You have the audacity to ask me that; you know damn well what happened. You left me and it felt like my heart was ripped out of my chest." I said and tears started to fall, "I was willing to risk everything for you and you did that to me. You want to know what happened Edward I'll tell you; after you left everywhere I looked I saw you or something that reminded me of you. A few months later Jake started to help fill the void where my heart was supposed to be." I looked at Jake, "I trusted you as a friend to never betray me, but you did and I started to slip away and then I had a vision of my friend. I hadn't had those in two years since I quit using my power and I took it as a sign that I needed a change. I went to the one place I felt loved and cared for; the one place no one would abandon me. That's what happened." I said and walked into the building as the tears kept falling.
Damon's Point of View
When Bella went inside I turned my attention back to Edward, "You son of a bitch you stay away from her."
"I love her." He said
"So if this is what you do to show love I wonder what you do when you hate someone…..send them a puppy." I snarled.
"Damon," I heard Stefan call as he walked out into the alley way, "Bella wants to leave."
"This isn't over." I said passing Edward and into the building.
I immediately found Bella and wrapped my arms around her. Charlie gave me an approving nod and the others said they would stay and watch for the red haired vampire. I guided Bella to the limo and the moment we were inside she snuggled closer to me.
"Are you alright?" I asked stroking her cheek.
"No," she whispered, "I thought it wouldn't be bad, but I was wrong." She pulled away from me, "Damon I can't do this with us, not with me still conflicted about them."
I took her face in my hands and forced her to look at me, "Isa don't do this; I of all people understand what you are going through." We pulled up to the hotel and I made a mistake, "I still think about Katherine all the time."
Bella jerked her head towards me, "All. The. Time." She said each word slowly.
"Shit Bella that didn't come out right." I said trying to explain it.
The limo door opened and she stepped out, "No, actually I think it came out exactly how it was meant to."
She slammed the door shut and I scrambled after her. "Bella!" I called as she walked into the hotel.
I got into the hotel in time to see the elevators close and Bella holding back another wave of tears. I raced to the stairs, but had to go at human pace due to I had an audience. I got to the top floor and heard her room door shut and lock. I ran up and started banging, but no such luck. I slumped down and just sat outside her door until Elena came up;
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"I screwed up." I replied with my head in my hands.
"What did you do?" Caroline asked.
I told them and I felt Anna hit me, "You stupid ass how could you?"
I got defensive, "She said she wanted to end it."
"Yeah only because she saw them tonight and everything came back, but Damon who did she leave with?" Elena asked.
"Me." I replied.
"Exactly she may care about them, but she left with you which means she cares about you. Now I'm not even going to pretend to understand why she does after everything you have pulled, but that's the facts. You still have a shot Damon you just need to fight for her." Elena said.
"But don't do it if you still care about Katherine." Bonnie spat.
"Yeah, I ought to just beat your ass now because let's be honest Damon you can't let go of Katherine." Caroline said.
"I don't care about Katherine; I love Bella!" I shouted.
The door I was leaning on opened and I fell back and looked up to see Bella glaring at me; "Will all of you just shut up! It's been a long night and I want to get some sleep."
"Bella," I said as I sat up, "Please can I come in and talk?"
Just then the elevator doors opened and revealed the Cullen's.
"The night just keeps getting better and better." Bella mumbled.
I jumped up and grabbed her, "Bella please talk to me."
"Let her go!" Edward yelled.
"This isn't any of your concern." I stated.
"ENOUGH!" Bella said and slammed the door shut.
"Bella!" the little pixie one named Alice called.
I stood between her and the door, "Leave now." I said.
"Yeah get out of here; we have enough assholes with him." Bonnie sneered and I ignored the last comment about me.
"We aren't leaving until we talk to her." The big guy Emmett stated.
We were having a stare down when Bella's door opened to reveal her in a black leather jacket, blue skinny jeans, and black boots. Her hair was down and she had the smokey eye going.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"None of your business." Bella said and pushed pass me.
"What do you think you are doing?" Edward said and grabbed her arm.
"I'm leaving you've done it enough times I thought you would recognize the event." Bella spat and yanked her arm out his grasp.
I started to follow, but for some reason I couldn't move and soon neither could anyone else;
"Don't bother you won't be able to move until I'm gone; later." Bella said waving her fingers as the elevators doors closed.
About thirty minutes later we were able to move, but when we got outside there was no trace of her scent.
Bella's Point of View
I get it the whole not over your ex deal, but how could he be thinking about her all the time. Was he imagining her as we kissed? I needed to think and a drink so I headed to a bar called Asylum. It was a rocker bar and right now I wanted to hear the angry music. I walked to the front of the line, the guy let me in and the moment I walked through that door I left all thoughts of everyone else outside.
About two hours later I had completely forgotten why I had come here in the first place, of course with as many shots as I had been doing I was bound to forget. I was dancing with some tattoo guy when I saw a man with blood red eyes staring at me. I pretended I didn't see him and kept dancing. I finally untangled myself from his grasp and walked to the bar taking another shot. The guy with the red eyes followed me and I just kept ignoring him. I decided it was time to confront him and went out into the alley.
I didn't have to wait long;
"Hello Bella." The vamp said pushing me against the wall.
"Well you know my name so do I get to know yours?" I asked.
"Riley, I work for Victoria." He replied.
"Oh is she mad since you ruined her fun with your father." He replied.
Whatever alcohol I had in my system was burned away by the anger I felt after that comment. I threw up my hands and he flew backwards. He hit the wall hard and looked at me shocked. I walked over to him and said, "Listen very carefully, tell that bitch that if she wants me I'm right here and I'm not hiding. Tell her to stop being a coward and using my family as a way to get to me because when I find her if she hurts my family what I do will be ten times worse than anything she could ever dream of. NOW LEAVE"
Riley ran away and I tried to get my bearings.
"You have fire in you." I heard a familiar voice say.
"Katherine." I said not even turning around.
"You remembered." She said.
"Yes well your voice is like nails on a chalkboard." I replied.
"You are so much more like me; torn between two men." She said wistfully.
I spun around to face her at that point, "I'm nothing like you. I don't play people like they are chess pieces. What do you want?"
"Join me; I will take care of Victoria for you. I need a witch on my side and you are so powerful." She stated.
"No." I said.
"Why not?" she asked.
"Because I don't believe in what you want. Magic is meant to help not harm. You don't use it for revenge." I said and started walking in.
"Then what happened when you killed the vamps that killed your brother?" she asked.
I stopped and turned towards her. I focused on her and flames appeared around her. She started screaming, but I took away her voice, "You feel the flames burning you and you can smell it too. Never bring up my brother again because what I did to those vampires will be mercy compared to what I will do to you."
I let go of the magic and went back into the club.
Matt's Point of View
Jeremy, Ty, and I were trying to get everyone's attention, but no one was listening. The wolf pack had showed up at the hotel and now it was complete chaos as everyone yelled at everyone else.
"Screw this." Ty said and stood on the couch and whistled which got everyone's attention, "Alright listen up this is getting nowhere so here is the deal, Matt, Jer, and I are going to go find her."
"No let us girls go." Elena said.
"No," I said, "Look all you girls will do is rile her up even more. Let us do this."
We walked out of the hotel and grabbed a cab;
"Where do you think she went?" Ty asked.
"With as pissed as she was and wearing her leather jacket we probably want to look for a rocker bar." Jeremy said.
"While they were yelling I looked on the internet and there is only one bar here she might want to go to it's called Asylum." I said.
"Kind of fitting." Jeremy laughed.
We pulled up fifteen minutes later and walked right inside. It didn't take us long to find Bella; she was at the bar downing shots.
"Hey B." Ty said, "You look smoking."
Bella was wearing her black knee high boots, blue skinny jeans, and a black halter corset top.
"Did you come to take me back?" she asked doing another shot.
"Come on Bella you need to stop." I said reaching for the glass.
"No actually I don't." she said and slapped my hand away. "I have had a bad night and I just want to drown it all out."
"You're letting them get to you Bella." Jeremy said, "Come on let's go back to the hotel kick them out and get you to bed."
"NO!" she yelled and took another shot.
Ty, Jeremy and I huddled together, "I think we are going to have to take her out kicking and screaming." I said.
"You're right; you guys clear a path and I'll carry her." Tyler said.
Jeremy and I watched as Tyler grabbed her jacket and then threw Bella over his shoulder.
"LET ME DOWN NOW TY!" she screamed and pounded on his back.
Tyler got a smirk on his face as he handed me her jacket and then popped her on the ass.
"OUCH!" she yelled.
"Bad girls get punished." He replied and we walked out of the club.
"You can put me down now." Bella said slurring her words.
"So you can run away; I don't think so." Jeremy said and hailed a cab.
Tyler shoved Bella in and all three of us held her down as the cabbie took us to the hotel.
We arrived and Jeremy got out first, "We can do this the easy way or the hard way."
"Fine." She said and stepped out, but I knew her all too well and the moment she took that first big step my hand was around her wrist and I threw her over my shoulder, "Matt let me go." She said.
"Nope." I replied and we walked into the hotel as people stared.
When the doors opened Caroline and Stefan were in the lobby.
"She's drunk and pissy." Jeremy explained.
"Here let me take her." Stefan said and he flung her over his shoulder.
"How bad is it?" Caroline asked me.
I put my arms around her, "Well she hasn't used her powers yet so that's a good sign; are they still here?"
"Yep I have been snapping at them." She said.
I told the others to go ahead and when the elevator doors closed I looked at Caroline, "Caroline I think she's going to flip out and we won't be able to stop her unless…." I trailed.
It took her a moment to catch on, "Matt you can't be serious."
"I don't like it either but if she snaps it's the only way. Damon, Stefan, and Anna won't do it; hell she will hurt them before she hurts you." I replied.
"Matt you don't know what she taste like I could lose it." She replied.
"You won't; she's your friend and you wouldn't do that her." I said.
We walked to the elevators and headed up.
Damon's Point of View
It had been an hour since Tyler, Jeremy, and Matt had left; the Cullen's and pack were still here and I was trying my best to not attack them.
"What are you looking at?" I asked Edward and Jake.
"Wondering why she would be with you." Jake answered.
"Probably because she couldn't stand fleas." Caroline sneered. "Or in your case Eddy you being a cold hearted son of a bitch."
"That was uncalled for," the one called Esme said.
"No actually I think it was dead on." I replied.
"Look who's talking the one who can't get over his ex." Caroline snapped.
"Time out, Caroline how about you and I go to the lobby and cool off." Stefan said and they left.
I tuned out the rest of the conversation until I heard the door open and Stefan walk in with someone over his shoulder;
"PUT ME DOWN NOW!" the voice screamed and I knew it was Bella.
Stefan put her down gingerly and she turned to see us all;
"What are you still doing here?" she questioned.
"You should have dropped her on her ass." Jeremy whispered to Stefan.
"I can't Elena would have gotten mad." My brother replied.
"Bella we want to talk." Emmett said.
"Well you know what I want, I want to leave and go drink some more excuse me." Bella said and tried to get pass Stefan, but he blocked her, "Move it or lose it." She said.
"Bella…." I started.
"No don't even start with me; oh by the way I saw Katherine tonight she was outside Asylum if you want to go see her." Bella replied with so much venom I winced at her statement.
"Bella cut this shit." Bonnie said.
"No now let me leave." She replied.
"What are you going to do?" Leah the only female werewolf sneered.
Bella slowly turned towards her and the room started to shake.
"Bella stop it!" Elena screamed.
Matt and Caroline came in at that point;
"Caroline you have to do it." Matt yelled.
Caroline's face changed and she bit Bella's neck.
A/N: Okay I know I leaving it with another cliffy, but this is a good place to stop for where we are going next. Please review.
