A/N: Hey guys, I'm so sorry that this chapter is up a lot later in the day then I would have liked and I'm also sorry that it's still a bit short. Honestly, I really didn't like writing this chapter and I had to rewrite it a few times. I also didn't have time to edit it thoroughly as I normally do so please point out any mistakes if you find them. And now on with the chapter!
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, I only own my OC's.
Previously:
I woke up a little later and sat up rubbing at my eyes. Something felt very wrong.
Eventually, my vision adjusted to the dark room and I looked around confused. This was NOT my room.
I knew I should have told Rosalie or somebody in my family about the red eyes.
For some reason, that was the only thing I could think about as I looked around the cold, dark room.
Edward? I called out tentatively in my mind, but it didn't seem to yield any results. Whoever had taken me had probably been smart enough to move me from the range of which he could read minds.
I waited a few minutes but nothing happened. Do they even know I'm gone?
Just then I heard the unmistakable creak of a door opening and the sound of slow footsteps falling on pavement.
Suddenly a man with piercing, red eyes and long, black hair appeared from the shadows holding something behind his back.
"I see that you are awake already, but we don't want that now do we?" he asked in a teasing manner, his voice holding an ever so slight accent that I couldn't really place.
I glared at him, and I'm sure that if looks could kill we would both be dead right now.
"Now, now, I won't tolerate any of that," he said stalking slowly, yet gracefully towards me.
I tried to move and for the first time, I realized that I was somehow chained to the floor.
"Stay still and this won't hurt as much," the mystery man said in a low, deep voice as he traced my cheekbone with his thumb.
Suddenly, I felt something cold prick my neck before I heard the clatter of a needle falling to the floor.
"Good girl," he teased before gliding away making no sound what so ever. There was no way that he was human. Normal people made at least a little sound when they moved and didn't have red eyes.
Help, Edward, please! I called out with my mind before whatever had been in the needle knocked me out.
When I awoke again, the man was gone and there was a bowl of what looked like mashed potatoes and a water bottle sitting in front of me. I undid the water bottle top and chugged the whole thing down.
That probably wasn't a good idea because a second later the world began to spin and I realized too late that there had been some kind of drug in the water.
It took about ten minutes for me to go unconscious, but those ten minutes had probably been some of the worst ten minutes of my life. The world was spinning and my ears were ringing. If felt like someone was trying to crush my skull. I'd only ever felt pain like this one other time.
When I awoke yet again something about me felt different… I felt weaker than before. A lot weaker.
Edward, I called out with my mind again not expecting to get any kind of answer. Which is why I was surprised when I heard something that sounded suspiciously like my family arguing above me.
"I do not care. I heard her and I'm going to get her whether you like it or not!"
A second later I heard the same door open and Edward came into view.
"Elizabeth!" I heard Edwards voice and it was EXTREMELY loud.
"Shh," I moaned trying to cover my ears. Too loud.
He looked puzzled for a minute before he quickly got over it and sped over to me. He fiddled with the chains for a minute before giving up and snapping the chains off my wrist.
A second later he had lifted me up into his arms bridal style and he was speeding up a set of stairs that I had not known was there.
Everyone was still arguing when Edward came into an open but extremely dirty room still carrying me. It felt like my ears were splitting, yet I could do nothing to stop the noise.
I turned slightly so that my ears were covered by Edwards jacket. PLEASE tell them to be quiet.
"Guys, shh.." I heard Edward trail off as everyone suddenly became quiet and turned to him.
"Elizabeth," Alice called out her voice low as she walked towards Edward. "We need to take her home. They're coming back."
I felt Edward nod before I felt the sense of flying that I always did when they were moving at super speed. It was still as horrible as ever.
Somehow I fell asleep -or somewhere in that phase between asleep and awake- on the way home because I don't remember the journey home at all.
What I do remember, however, is getting home and then being forced to eat something.
Jasper had been there the whole time and whenever I would get nervous he would send a wave of calm trough the room. I'm pretty sure that it helps to deal with your feelings when you have them, but I guess this was a special occasion.
After I had eaten I had gone straight to my room and changed upon Rosalie and Alice's command before stumbling back down the stairs.
I felt like a shell. Every thought I had before was gone. I didn't feel relief. Or fear. Or anything. I was just numb and I wasn't sure if was Jasper's doing or my own.
I laid down on the couch with the rest of my family and that's when the questions started.
"What happened honey?" my mom asked. "One minute you were here and the next you were gone. We were all so worried!"
"I-I…Um…I don't know. There were these red eyes and then…" I stuttered for a minute before trailing off.
I felt Jasper use his ability to relax me for what was probably the hundredth time that day.
"Hey, it's okay. Just take deep breaths and then tell us." I followed Edwards advice and I felt my heart rate and breathing return to normal.
"The night before, when I was really sick, I saw these red eyes. Bu-But I thought I imagined them, so I didn't tell anyone. Then the next day was normal, and I was sure that I had imagined them." I stopped to take a breath. "But when I went to sleep I felt really sick again. When I woke up I wasn't in my room. And I was chained to the floor. And-And," I stuttered unable to breathe normally. "And then there was this man and he injected me with a needle and…" I trailed off again unable to continue and hyperventilating by this point.
"Shh, calm down." Alice stood up from the other couch and walked over to me. "You're safe now."
She sat down beside me and I leaned into her side before breaking down crying.
I was aware of her whispering things in my ear trying to calm down, but it wasn't working.
Eventually, dark spots started to dot my vision and Jasper had to calm me down.
When I could breathe slightly more normally Jasper used his gift to make me fall asleep quickly.
My body tried to protest but it was already too late and I was out within seconds.
I shot up from my sleep like haze.
I was still on the couch, but I was covered in multiple blankets. Strange that I didn't feel like I needed them.
I was curious what had woken me up because normally I didn't wake up from what I had dubbed the 'Jasper-Sleep' until someone woke me up.
I was still curious when suddenly I doubled over in pain.
I started coughing and I couldn't stop. It hurt so much.
Sobs wracked my body as I coughed but eventually it stopped and the pain retreated to a dull ache all over.
I took a few deep breaths to get my heart rate and breathing under control before I moved my hand away from my mouth.
I stared at my palm in disbelief as soon as I saw it.
It was covered in thick, dark red blood.
Sorry for ending another chapter in a cliffhanger, but it's ten o'clock at night and I didn't think that I could write much further. Please follow, favorite and review! I would love to get some constructive criticism so that I can know how to improve my story. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I'll have the next one up either tomorrow or the next day.
