Chapter 13: Dinner
Melony POV
When Alec came back, he came with a red strapless ball gown. It was pretty, yes, but it was so old fashioned.
"I'm not wearing that," I said when he set it on the bed.
"Well, you must," he said. "Aro insists. Either that, or be punished."
I rolled my eyes. "How?"
"You don't want to know. And since you're half human it'll be much easier."
Images came into my mind. They were horrifying.
"Fine," I grumbled.
He went out of the room. I changed into the ball gown, and looked for shoes. Red. Of course. They were nice, though.
I walked out into the hallway. No one. I walked in the direction that I remember the room being in. I pushed open the doors. No one.
"Melony?"
I jumped. "Oh. It's just you. Hello."
Alec smirked. "Yes. Just me. Aro is waiting for you."
I followed him out the room to another one.
There, Aro was sitting at a long wooden table at one end. Alec left the room, making me think I was supposed to sit down. Reluctantly, I sat at the end of the table nearest to the door.
"Hello, my dear," Aro crooned.
I glared at him, not wavering at all.
"Now, now, don't be hostile, dear. It won't make things any easier. Though, I do like the fact you can be heartless when you need to. It will help you with your job."
I continued glaring.
Someone--not sure who because I didn't move my glare--came in and sat a plate in front of me, along with a wine glass and--I think-- some wine.
"I"m not old enough to drink wine," I said, speaking for the first time.
"You are over fifty years old," Aro said. "Of course you're old enough."
"No, I'm not. I'm only seventeen appearance wise. I don't think if I walked into a bar and demanded wine, I would get very far."
"That's beside the matter." He picked up his wine glass, and sipped from it. I'm guessing it was blood. "We need to discuss your arrangements."
"What arrangements? You kidnapped me. There are no 'arrangements'."
Aro laughed. "Of course there are, my dear. I'm guessing you will refuse to drink human blood."
"I refuse to give up my humanity just because I'm being held captive."
"Of course. I see my old friend, Carlisle, has brain-washed you with his 'humanity' lifestyle."
I gritted my teeth, my jaw tightened. "Actually, I chose to continue this lifestyle on my own. Even when I thought my father was dead, no thanks to you."
Aro smiled. "Moving on, you will have a job here, along with all the other members. I've decided on it already, actually."
"Am I apart of the guard?"
He shook his head. "No, no, no. At least, not an active member. Though you would be beneficial to it, I've decided on something else."
I gazed at him warily. "What job?"
He grinned at me. "You shall be bait."
Back at the Swan house
Cole was getting more frustrated by the second. He was convinced they were wasting time. He was considering just hopping on a plane and leaving without them.
"Cole, that would not be the best," Edward said, having read his mind.
"We're wasting time!" he shouted. "Who knows what they're doing to her! Why are we still here?"
"Because we need a strategy," Alice answered. "If we just barge in there, Aro could have us all join the guard, maybe even killed."
Bella rolled her eyes. "I doubt he'd kill you, Alice."
"That's beside the point! We don't know what he wants. I am 99% sure he would never give her up. At least, not for a price. We have nothing to trade."
"Trade!?" Cole exploded. "She's not an object to be auctioned! Melony could be in danger! Life. Threatening. Danger! Let's just go!"
All at once, everyone began arguing about what was best. Even Jacob who was supposed to be keeping Cole calm.
Throughout this all, Nessie was quiet. It was true, she just wanted her best friend back. Her half-sister, who she thought of as a real sister. At the same time, she understood that one wrong move could cost Melony her life, all of their lives. Even to add to that, they could also be forced to join the Volturi guard. That would not be pleasant.
But still, she wanted Melony back. Almost as much as Cole. Melony was a sister to her, a best friend. This arguing wasn't helping anything.
AN
Sorry it took forever, and sorry it's so short. Only 879 words. But either way, it's something. I wasn't really sure how to get this chapter out. I wanted it to comeout right, and I've been putting off since forever. Sorry again. But it is what it is. The next chapter will show Melony's first "mission". Hope you enjoyed this one, and, as always please review.
