Gone
? POV
I stalked the outskirts of Volterra, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. All I needed was a second when she was left unprotected. Then she could be mine forever.
B POV
Soon I grew tired again, so Carlisle and Esme left to get Aro. I went and got ready for bed. I was just drifting off until I felt unfamiliar arms snatch me. The stranger carried me away...
A POV
I ran up their stairs to find that nobody was there. My precious daughter had gone. There was a foreign scent in the room, leading out of the window. I followed it; I would not lose her after fighting so hard to keep her alive. Why did I let her out of my sight? It's my duty to protect her and I failed, I am a pathetic excuse for a vampire.
J POV
Soon news of Bella's disappearance spread like wildfire around the castle. The guards who were not needed here were immediately sent to look for her until a week passed. By then Aro was in a state of such desperation that every single member of the Volturi was sent to every corner of the earth in an attempt to find her. We were given the task of dealing with whatever Volturi affairs came our way whilst they were busy. Naturally Carlisle took change; he had previous experience of these sorts of things so we all just followed his lead. It was actually quite interesting. I had spent such a long time refusing to join them and now I realised that I never really knew what that meant. Joining the Volturi doesn't mean you were confined to this castle forever, it means that you're a part of something. It means you're another fighter in the effort to keep the vampire world a civil place. I like that idea. After Alice died I had little meaning in my life, the Volturi gave me something productive to do.
Carlisle POV
I felt so sorry for Aro. I can't imagine what it must have felt like to lose your only child, especially considering she was so fragile. We worried ourselves sick for her safety. I tried to keep their affairs as calm as possible, the last thing they needed was a scandal. I was glad I could put my previous experience here to good use, I had missed this. It's as easy as it was challenging if that makes sense. I know it doesn't but despite the terrible situation I was enjoying myself. Maybe I should reconsider my life in Forks...
? POV
My God the human thing is noisy. As if the racket of her heart wasn't bad enough, her was wailing and screaming like a fucking banshee. I was glad when we finally got to my place. I was thirsty so I threw it in the basement while I fed. I had to set a few things straight before I could start draining her. I was looking forward to all the little games we would play; of course she won't enjoy them but holy shit I would. Yeah it would hurt her but it's a small price to pay for my pleasure. I went down to find her sleeping, lazy bitch. I kicked her hard in the stomach and it woke up. I pulled her head up by her hair so we were eye-to-eye.
'Now, this is what is going to happen, it. You are mine. You will do as I tell you. Understand?'
She looked at me with this dumb expression on her face so I hit her. It felt good.
'UNDERSTAND?' I bellowed.
She nodded, tears streaming down her face. I stood over her.
'You're pathetic. It's no wonder that Cullen kid left you.'
B POV
I had never felt so desperate in my life. I was confused and hurt as the day he left me but this time I prayed that the horrible man wouldn't come back. Pure terror surged through me as I realised what was going on. I had been stolen away in the night by this deranged vampire who, for some unknown reason, had some sort of vendetta against me. He wanted to hurt me, I knew that much. I also knew that this would hurt my family, my brother and sisters, my dear angelus. He must be so worried. I broke down even harder when I imagined his reaction. Would he ever forgive me for leaving him? I wonder if Edward ever thought the same thing about me...
? POV
I was busy trying to get all my plans together but was disturbed by her sobbing. After a while I thundered down the stairs to the basement and moved to where she cowered in the corner.
'Shut. Up.'
Her head snapped up to meet my stare and she shut her mouth pretty quickly. I hit her, just to get the message in her thick head and was just about to give her a good kick before she had the audacity to speak.
'Why... why are you doing this?'
I picked her up by the hair and slammed her into the wall.
'You know perfectly well why I'm doing this.'
I stood over her until she was quiet and walked away.
Caius POV
'Look Aro,' I sighed, 'we have to think this through logically. Let's make a list of all your enemies and...'
'Yes because that'll only take 100 years or so.'
Aro had become increasingly irate these past few weeks, not that anybody could blame him. I had often had to remind him to feed as the stress made him forget. He stopped pacing and sat at his desk.
'I don't understand why anybody would do this. She hasn't done anything wrong.'
He stood up, a sudden sense of determination in his eyes.
'Gather everyone in the throne room in 5 minutes.'
I left to do as he asked, wondering what on earth he was doing. As much as I was sympathetic towards him, I really wouldn't appreciate him making a fool out of himself in front of the entire coven. This had better be good.
AN – I know that this is very, very late and I apologise. I've had a lot of personal problems that I won't go into but I'm back now x)
I'll try and get the next chapter up soon.
