x. Flash Back .x
My eyes began to flutter open and the trees were a mere blur as I watched them pass.
I hadn't made a sound after I saw the car on fire and I probably couldn't.
I was in shock.
My mind went dark and I went limp in the arms of the creature who did that to Jacob.
I looked up to see the face that I would forever loath, only to be met by steely silver eyes, that had a glint in them that made me shudder.
I looked over their shoulder and stared at the glow and smoke of the burning car.
I blacked out.
When I awoke a second time, someone was carrying me through the forest.
At first I was puzzled.
I couldn't remember Edward coming back and carrying me off or any other of the Cullens.
Suddenly, I remembered what had happened.
Horrible images flowed in my mind's eye.
I got over the shock of losing Jacob. Poor sweet Jacob, he never deserved that.
He was kind and had a smile that lit up a room.
As I thought of him, I was overcome with sobs and a never ending amount of tears.
My body racked with sob after sob as I realized that just moments ago I witnessed the murder of my very best friend that I loved dearly.
My throat went hoarse and felt raw after what felt like an eternity of my tears, but it was probably only a few hours.
My capturers repeatedly told me to shut it, but I refused to pay attention to them.
They beat me again and again until the pain got so bad that they knocked me unconscious.
-7 hours later-
Once we got to their hideout, I gasped.
The house was on my street.
We entered through the back of the house, through their backyard.
I was screaming and hollering at the top of my lungs, praying that someone would hear me or look outside and see us.
"Shut the hell up or you're not the only one who will get hurt. Chief Swan may just be paid a little visit." He smiled but it was cold.
I quitted after that.
I couldn't let anyone become hurt, or even killed on my account
I took a better look at the beasts that had taken me and committed murder.
The one carrying me was tall, about 5'12. His dark brown hair could have passed for black. His eyes were grey and silver, but the way he kept looking at me, made me shudder. There was this glint in his eyes that made you believe he would be capable of anything. He wore a midnight black cloak, which billowed when he walked.
Later on I found out that was how they blind-sided us, making us think it was a creature and not people.
Straining my neck to the side, I saw that the other "creature" was an Asian girl around my age. Her hair was down to her chest, she had two streaks of bright red on both sides of her head. Unlike the guy who carried me, her eyes were more of grey-blue than silver. I felt that if I were to ever escape she would be the one that would be most willing to help me. She was also wearing one of the billowing cloaks.
"Hey Jenny, get the door. I can't reach my keys under this stupid cloak I'm wearing." the one carrying me said.
"'Kay, but I don't know if Melisa is home. She may be out with what's-his-face. Dike, Bike, Mike something like that." Jenny said.
She had this sly smile I couldn't understand, what was the big deal that this Melisa girl is out with Mike.
"WHAT?! That whore isn't to be "out" with anyone but me, but ,not matter, she'll be replaced soon enough."
When he said that he gave me the most bone chilling grin I have ever received in my life and snuggled me closer to his chest.
"Oh, but Niiiiiick… you know how much better I can do. Just give me a chance, I'll be sure to be everything you need and more." Jenny purred while stroking his arm.
"He he he, I may let you prove yourself, Jenny but first we have something to take care of."
x. Pause of Flashback .x
"Wait a second will you? Bells, are you seriously telling us that an entire household of vampires lived right down the street from you and WE didn't even notice anything?" Emmett questioned.
"Well, if you let me finish my story and stop interrupting, I'll let you know. Okay, so as I was saying..."
x. Resume of Flashback .x
When we entered the house, music was blaring.
It was surprising, because outside, there wasn't a hint of any sound, but I had to cover my ears inside.
Looking around, I saw that the house was indeed sound-proofed so no one heard anything.
In the living room, there was another vampire.
Her hair was shoulder-length, a dark brown with hint of maroon in it. Her skin wasn't the usual snow white; instead, she had a more caramel-toned skin color. Her eyes were very clear, like diamonds almost. She was wearing a black "Sinful" wife beater with dark blue jeans.
"Terry, will you please shut off or turn off that racket before I turn it off for you" Nick said in a deathly calm voice.
The look that crossed Terry's eyes was a mix of different emotions. It was ranging from regret, guilt to fear of what was to come.
She swiftly moved to the other side of the room to turn down the music. She moved so quick, I didn't see the usual blur. I just heard the music lower in volume. After that she laid back onto the cream-colored couch and continued reading her book, "The Hard Questions In Your Life".
"So did you get the lucky girl, what's-her-face?" Terry asked.
"Well, if you are so interested, why don't you get up and ask her yourself? She's right here and her name is Isabella but as we both already know she prefers to be called Bella."Jenny responded as Nick opened his mouth.
"Thank you, Jenny, but I do think she is capable of speaking for herself." Nick said.
"Terry, if you would be so kind to explain to Bella what exactly is going on and what is to be expected of her here. Meanwhile, Jenny and I have some...um business to deal with and then find that little tramp Melisa." He threw Jenny a playfully wink and if she was human she would have blushed when she giggled and hurried out the door.
With that, I was thankfully placed on the couch while Nick followed Jenny to attend to their "business" and go find Melisa.
Leaving me alone with Terry who was giving me this sympathetic look from across the coffee table.
It wasn't until she was completely sure they were out of hearing distance when she sighed and soon began to speak to me.
"Well, I'm guessing you have a lot of questions." she began. "Here's the basic information, my full name is Terisa, but I go by Terry instead. That was Nicholas and Jenny who brought you here and the one they are looking for and will most likely kill is Melisa." she handed me a framed photographed of Melisa.
"You are now one of his girls. Meaning there is no other guy on the planet besides him. No friends may be male and you can only interact with females unless the male is family or Nick approves of him which will not happen, but you can try just don't talk to the guy before you ask or it WILL get ugly. Am I missing anything else? Oh right the next full moon you will be turned into one of us. Any questions, Bella?" Terry looked at me, her face only allowing two emotions, curiosity and a very small amount of guilt.
"Well, there are a few that I'm hoping you will answer for me so I can understand exactly how much shit I got myself into." I growled. I usually wouldn't swear but from what had just happened I honestly didn't give a hoot.
"Understandable."
"First off, who exactly is Nick? And why are you "his"?" I asked.
"We are here solely to make him happy from cleaning to the bedroom. We do as he says, no matter what. And Nick is our man, no one gets close to him unless he allows it or we say so." Terry said.
"Wait!! This is his harem? Why the hell would I agree to that when I don't know or even love the guy? There's no way I'm going to be his. I already love someone else even when they don't love me."
"Don't you see, Bella? Nick will always love you no matter what. Well, as long as you're faithful to him and him alone meaning: Give.Up. On. Edward."
"How do you know about Edward? And why would I want to fight for one man's attention?"
"We know everything about you, Bella, and he is our -meaning yours now too- king, our meaning for life." She giggled like I should already have known this.
"Why? I mean, I'm nothing special. Why don't you go get someone like Lauren? She's much more attractive than I am and I bet she would be way more willing than myself." I pleaded.
"First of all, that girl is a complete slut, so, no. And you are beautiful, you just don't realize it yet." she sounded aggravated. "Plus, you have a pure heart and are much nicer." Terry smiled warmly at this.
"Is there any way to get you to change your mind or no?"
"Nope. Sorry." For one quick second, I saw regret in her eyes as she said that, but the next second it was gone so fast I had to question if I really saw it there.
"So Bella, next question."
"Okay, what exactly are you guys? Because I know for sure you aren't regular vampires because of the colors of your eyes, even all of your eyes range in color."
"Well, you see we are and we aren't like the Cullens. We only have to feed twice a month but in very large quantities because of that. During the Half and Full Moon is when we feed but before we head out we drink a silver elixir. On the days of the Full and Half Moon from 12am to 11:30pm we feed non-stop on human blood and then at 11:45 we -the women- drink a half a cup full of his blood."
"Please tell me you're just toying with me."
"Nope." She smiled while popping the "p" at the end of the word.
"Oh well I... I just can't believe this! I...I can't do this to Char...Charlie and Rrrrre...Renee" I broke down, weeping.
"Honey, once you accept this, everything will be better." Terry wrapped her arms around me and rubbed my back.
I cried for days on end after that conversation.
Terry, Jenny and Melisa -who they didn't kill but beat to a pulp- tried their hardest to comfort me and fed me.
I soon found out that Terry was abused by her boyfriends, Melisa was shy and Jenny was very much like Alice, but had a very bad past.
I had 2 months until the next full moon, and I formed strong bonds with the other girls in the house.
I tried never to be in the same room with Nick, but so far he was a complete gentle man on the outside but there was something that just didn't sit right with me. So I tried my hardest not to ever be alone, I was always with Terry, Jenny or Melisa.
Three days until the transformation
"Guys, you know I love you but I can't willingly give up my heart to someone that A- scares the crud out of me, B- who I don't know very well and finally, C- who I don't love. And let's not forget, I've seen the fights you get into if one of you gets a gift or special treatment and the other doesn't. I don't want to be a part of that at ALL. Okay?"
"Awww, we love you too Bells." Terry, Jenny and Melisa hugged me while Terry said that.
"Girl, you better give it up because you have three days until you change." Jenny said.
"Yeah, you don't really have much of a choice, but you think you would have tried to get to know Nicholas better with those two months." Melisa said.
"There's something I just don't trust in the way he looks at me. I feel violated every time I speak with him or are too close to him. Like, in reaching distance." I said.
"Well, he's a freak in beeee..." Terry clamped her hand over Jenny's mouth before she finished her sentence but unfortunately, I got the gist of her statement.
"You don't want to scare the poor girl now, do you?" Terry asked Jenny.
"Well, actually, yes. Yes, I do." Jenny gave me a wicked grin and laughed. After a few minutes we all joined Jenny in laughing and like nothing else was about to happen.
"Okay, okay." I sighed "Are you finally going to show me your talents now or what you said three days before I change?"
x. Pause of Flashback .x
I paused to look at their faces to see how they were taking my story so far. From what I could tell, they looked confused and very hurt, but they were all silent so I decided to take just a tiny peek into their minds to see just what they were really thinking.
'I wonder how she escaped them because her eyes are obviously amber like the rest of ours.' – Jasper
'Did she even try to escape? What the hell, how could she say that she cared for those sluts? See, Edward, you had nothing to worry about. She was chumming it up with those girls like they were her best buds in the whole world' -Rose
Edward growled when he heard this and Rose gave him a sly look the turned to face me with a blank face.
'Bella was always too trusting when it came to other people, I just hope this Nick fellow didn't do anything to her or else we may just have to pay him a little visit.' -Carlisle
"Bella, hello? Are you there?" Alice's voice brought me back from Carlisle's mind.
"I'm sorry, what did you say Alice?" I said.
"Did you really become such good friends with Jenny, Melisa and...and…"
"Terry. Yes I did, but it's not what it seems." I shot a quick glance at Rosalie."Nick was very protective of us and we were never to leave the house unless all of us went -which he had to allow- or he accompanied us out. I only got out of the house was once because of... how should I put this feminine issue. So you see, I didn't have much of a choice but bond with them and after all my attempts to escape that first month, let's just say I had my fair share of sprained ankles and bruises, okay? And they were the ones always getting me ice, band-aids, you name it. They were there for me when I needed them. While I was there, I always cried myself to sleep and between Jenny, Terry and Melisa. They should all be water-logged by now. "
"You mean, he kept you locked up in that accursed house for two whole months and beat you when you tried to leave?" Alice's voice shook from her anger.
"Are you fucking serious? Why didn't you use your cell phone or their house phone? Or throw a stone at the next house?" Rosalie surprised me and everyone else with her outburst.
"First of all, that cell phone is now dust in their garden when I tried calling Alice's phone. I got to the voice mail then he caught me with it. They didn't own a house phone. They just had cells which they never let out of their sights. And please, how was I to aim and hit a window when I had such terrible aim?" I snapped at her.
The entire family looked at me like I was a different person for speaking back to Rosalie. While I felt a surge of pride that I finally found a backbone.
"Alice, did you get any missed calls then?" Emmett and Edward asked in unison.
"Yeah, but if I had any idea…" Alice began to cry (dry sob).
"Oh Alice, you don't have to be upset. I'm here now and I'm safe." I cooed to her.
'How could I not have checked to see who called me? I should have checked. I just thought it was Jasper because he called me two minutes after. Why? WHY didn't I check the caller id?' - Alice
'Dear Alice must be beating herself up, no one would have guessed Bella would have called or we all would have gone running. At least we know this story has a somewhat happy ending' -Esme
"Okay, um... They were just about to tell me their powers."
x. Resume of Flashback .x
"Okay 'B' we'll show you our powers, who do you want to see first? But we have to explain something first, are we clear?" Terry asked.
"I want to see yours first and what is there to explain? You carry over your powers from being human, right?" I asked.
"That's true but because we are different we also get an element with our powers. You see, because of the ceremony with each half and full moon, we, who are Nicholas's women, are called 'Las señoras de los elementos' !-- page size: 21.59cm 27.94cm; margin: 2cm P margin-bottom: 0.21cm -- !-- page size: 21.59cm 27.94cm; margin: 2cm P margin-bottom: 0.21cm -- ' We are blessed with one of the elements: Earth, Fire, Water, Air, and Spirt. Plus, whatever we carry over from our human lives." After finishing, Terry stood up and walked outside to the backdoor. I looked at it warily because of all the beatings I got.
"Bella, it's alright. As long as you don't draw attention to yourself, okay?" Jenny said and then followed Melisa and Terry outside.
They stood in a line in facing about ten feet in front of me. Terry took a step away from their line and held her arms out wide like she was waiting to be hugged. She looked up to the sky and smiled then clapped, next thing I know she's stand on two feet of protruding Earth.
"See, Bella, I can control the Earth."-she laughed for joy- "What I just did was for show. I don't have to wait or try very hard to control it any more. I can also do this." With that she began to hover another two feet off the ground.
My jaw went slack from what I was witnessing; wow, Terry could control the Earth.
It made sense because she was the most level headed one out of the three.
If I would have to guess, Jenny is more of a free spirit so she's most likely air. Melisa is very calm and is most likely water. Terry gently float back down and placed the Earth back, then returned in between Melisa and Jenny. Next one to step up was Jenny.
"Okay, Bella, do you want to guess which element I control or do you want to be surprised, by my awesomeness?" Jenny laughed.
"Oh yeah, well out of the four remaining you are the one with the most spunk, so you are Wind." I cheered.
"Wow, you're good. I would have thought fire for sure but hey, you go girl!" Jenny shrugged then closed her eyes "Oh, and Bella, what Melisa and I are going to do is also all for show. 'kay."
With that, she took a few deep breaths, while bringing her hands up and down in time with her breathing. Next, she started to do some Tai Chi. Her arms slowly going from left to right faster and faster, then the wind began to pick up strength, soon, she switch directions and so did the wind. When she slowed down her movements, the harsh wind became a gentle breeze. Next, she span in circles, to my surprise, I was gently lifted off the ground. I laughed not believing that this was really happening to me. I couldn't believe how powerful they were and yet how they were also so humble about it. After a few moments, Jenny put me down and grinned.
"So, what else can you do? Because that grin is telling me there's more to come" I said with a knowing smile.
"Honestly, Bella, can you read my mind or what? Or is it that I'm an open book and way too easy to read?"
With that, she shrugged her shoulders and disappeared.
"Ha ha. Very funny, we all know that vampires are extremely fast." I said.
Just as I finished my sentence, she reappeared to where she had been standing, a small smile playing on her lips. I was about to ask her what the smile was for but I got interrupted by a tap on my shoulder. I looked from Melisa to Jenny, each shaking their head saying they didn't do it. Jenny looked like she was about to burst with laughter so I turned around to see who tapped me. It was Jenny. I looked back to see if she was still there and she was, at first I thought she just ran back until I grabbed the Jenny standing in front of me and dragged her over to the one standing eight feet away from me. I lined them up beside each other. They must have been twins because they looked exactly alike.
"Well, Bella bet you didn't..." "See this one coming now did you?" the Jenny's finished off each other's sentence.
I shook my head from side to side. How in the world did she pull this off? Had there always been two of them and I just not realize or... or what.
"Okay, you got me. What's your power, Jenny…well, Jennys."
They both laughed and then smiled. The one on the right pointed to herself and said,
"I'm the original Jenny. I can replicate myself thousands of times. You can kill all my clones and I won't feel a thing, but kill me, and the clones disappear. Or at least I think they will. I haven't put that theory to the test and I don't plan to anytime soon." she laughed and then the Jenny to my left disappeared with a gentle breeze.
"Jenny, do your clones share your powers and can they also control the air or not?" I asked.
"From what we've tested, they have all my memories unless I pull that from them and same thing goes with my power. So if I make ten clones, my powers increase ten-fold." She smiled at that comment and then shooed me back to my place.
Once Jenny stepped back into place, Melisa stepped up into her place. She looked a little nervous but I couldn't imagine why, maybe she couldn't control her powers like the other two could just yet.
"Bella, do you want to try and guess my element too?"
"Yes, I do. Melisa, I'd have to say you are the most peaceful one of the three of you, and you are water." I said.
"Hey, you are good. Maybe you'll be able to read minds once you're changed."
I winced when she said that.
That specific power reminded me too much of Edward.
Melisa noticed and gave me apologetic look "Sorry, didn't mean to hit a weak spot."
"No, no it's okay. Please continue." I urged her on.
"Okay, here I go, ladies."
She looked at Terry who now had a CD player in her hand and had changed to match what Melisa was wearing, but her shirt was a light green. Melisa looked over to Jenny next and she was also dressed the same as Melisa only her top was orange.
"Hit it."
"Nivea ft. Jagged Edge's Don't Mess With My Man" came blasting through the speakers.
I had to laugh at the irony of the song of choice.
They began to dance at first it was just a regular dance routine then it started to rain but just over them for a few moments. Soon after it stopped and all the water that was on them started to spell out their names over their heads (the water turned different colours). Once their names were spelled they watery words took the new shape of three other women and the watery women began to dance the routine, in complete unison too. By the end of the song, they had little water droplets shaped as stars all around them. The sight blew my mind and took my breath away because it was priceless.
Sorry for the delay. I needed to smooth out some bumps and bruises. Next chapter will be up next week. Please REview...you know you WANNA.
