Games
A POV
I stood in front of the entire coven. This had better work; if it didn't then I just wouldn't know what else to try. I know one thing though, I will never give up. I will find my daughter.
'Hello to everyone gathered here.'
I put on my best 'show voice' to get everyone's attention.
'I'm sure you all know the news of Bella's disappearance, a great many of you have been sent to search for her, but to no avail. This is why, as of tomorrow, every single person in this room will be sent to a specific location to search for her.'
This news was met by a collective gasp. I had almost missed having the sense of power over so many people.
'If you find no sign of her in your location, move on to another. Each person has a list of places to go to.'
'Are you mad?' yelled a young member of the guard, 'What about upholding the Law?'
Murmurs of agreement floated around the room. This angered me.
'Bella is more important than the Law!' I boomed.
Jane came tentatively over to me.
'If Master, I may make a comment, I think worry has impaired your judgement. As much as we agree that Bella is important, someone needs to remain he to keep everything in order, even if it's just one person.'
I nodded and she returned to her place.
'Jane makes a valid comment. Someone should remain here to keep everything in order.'
Carlisle stepped forward.
'I would happily do it. After all, I do have experience.'
I liked this idea; I knew I could trust Carlisle to keep everything running smoothly. He had always been good in a crisis.
'That would be wonderful, old friend.'
He smiled and left. I gave everybody their lists and sent them away to prepare. I knew some people didn't agree with my plan but I didn't care. As long as I found her.
B POV
I still don't want to think about what happened last night, I can't. All I can make myself remember is that he raped me, took my innocence away from me and made me a wreck of a girl. He also bit me many times and to say that it hurts would be an understatement. It feels like my entire body is on fire, but at the same time I am so cold. I want to die. I don't know if anyone is coming for me, even if they do it'll be too late. There is no hope for me now.
Carlisle POV
It was very strange being on my own in the Volturi castle. I was so used to it being such a hive of activity, a vast number of people running about planning, plotting, scheming. Several hundred conversations going on all at once. Gossip and bitching and conspiracy theories were being spread throughout the castle at lightning speed. Now there was silence. I appreciated how peaceful it was as it made it far easier to work but I did hope that she would be found and that everything could return to what was now normal. Things had changed a lot for my family. After much consideration I think it's for the better, we're happier here at the Volturi. I hope we can stay when this is all over.
B POV
I don't understand. The change is supposed to last for 3 days but this has gone on for longer. I don't know if it's because he's bitten me so many times or for some other reason. I just want it to stop. It's not fair.
A POV
Months had gone past and still no trace of her. My worry grew into all-consuming despair. Ever since I found my daughter she had become my world, my whole reason for existing. I would rather die than have anything bad happen to her. I just prayed that wherever she was, she was unharmed and safe. Somebody has to find her soon.
? POV
All my plans are running smoothly. I can get everything I want from her and I don't even have to leave my house. I can get blood, amusement and sex all from one little thing in the basement. It's wonderful. She's stopped using her voice all together, which is almost a shame; she did have such wonderful reactions. But this also means she can't complain which is a relief. She never shut up for the first few weeks and I had to stagger my visits to her slightly, I call them games. Now I can visit every day and just take what I want and she won't even put up a fight.
B POV
I can't stand it here. Why has meus angelus forgotten me? I was sure that he would've come for me by now. But what feels like an eternity has passed and no one has come other than him. I hate him. I've done nothing to him and he's putting me through Hell every day. I've been burning for months. Oh God, he's coming again, I can hear him coming down the stairs. I don't want to play his fucked up games.
AN – I know this chapter is slightly shorter than usual but recently my world has descended into revision chaos which isn't helped with all the personal crap I'm going through. The next chapter might be a while because all my exams are coming up this week, but I will get another chapter up when they're out of the way.
