I DON'T OWN THE TWILIGHT SAGA! SM DOES AND I JUST PLAY IN HER WORLD!
We've slacking on reviews. Tsk, tsk. Naw, just joking. Thanks Iggy Ate My Sandwhich for reviewing all the time. Rest of ya'll MAY get a shout-out... if you review. (hint hint)
Enjoy the next chapter.
Chapter 16: Submission
Submission. It's defeat. It's accepting your fate. It's giving up. I'm doing just that. Submission. Compliance. Acceptance... Defeat.
Alice POV
"Come on," I whined, tapping my foot impatiently.
"Alice, calm down," Edward said, rolling his eyes. "Melony isn't going anywhere."
I sighed, exasperated. "Every second we waste she could be giving up all hope on us. Let's go!"
"Thank you, Alice!" Cole yelled. "If these people don't hurry up, I'm going to fly the plane myself.
We were in the plane, waiting for it to take off. There were some "technical difficulties" going on with the plane or something, so they were amking us all wait.
"We could have been there faster if we just swam across the Atlantic Ocean," I muttered to myself.
"Alice, do us all a favor and shut up," Edward said.
I stuck my tongue out at him, and continued glaring at the back of the seat in front of me.
This was taking forever.
Melony POV
I sighed as I put on the new dress they wanted me to wear. Instead of the red dress, I was wearing a strapless black dress with a bow. I definitely would have loved to wear this on a date with Cole.
Cole.
I sighed. I had been thinking about him a lot. If anything, he was the one I missed the most. I felt like my other half was gone. Like the Volturi only took half of me. Of course, that probably has to do with the imprint, but still...
"Melony," Demetri called through the door.
"Come in," I said with a slight smile.
Demetri had to be my favorite member of the guard. He was actually pretty nice to me. I saw him as a big brother. He told me what was accepted and what wasn't. He gave me all the rules and guidelines he had learned over the years so I wouldn't make the same mistakes he did. He was actually trying to make my stay here tolerable. For that, I was grateful.
"It's time," he said.
I walked out the door, my heels clicking against the floor, with him trailing behind me. It was one of those rare, cloudy days in Volterra, Italy, so I was able to walk out with just the dress on.
When I came back, Felix and a few other men of the Volturi whistled at me while I walked past with today's group behind me.
I smiled slyly at them, and said, "Don't get your hopes up, boys. This one's taken."
Alice POV
I gasped as I saw the vision of Melony. She was smiling and talking and teasing the people at the guard. It looked like she was enjoying herself. Was she?
"Alice, don't be ridiculous," Edward said so the other humans wouldn't hear. "Melony hates the Volturi. She would never."
"You saw it. She was flirting with them! Flirting!"
"Do you not have trust in your niece?" he accused. "You can't really think she enjoys that, do you?"
I admitted to it guiltily in my head. I saw what I saw. I just hoped it wasn't true.
Melony POV
I had to admit: being at the Volturi wasn't as gloom and doom as I thought. Of course, that thought was made by the fact that I decided to give in. It had been almost a week. I still wondered if my family was coming, but I knew they wouldn't give up. If I had to be here, I was going to try to enjoy myself. The girls here were haughty and stuck-up, though, (cough, cough, Jane, cough, cough), but I could get along with the guys just fine.
Felix was like a darker Emmett. He was playful with me, pretend flirting and such, while I played 'hard-to-get'. I didn't really want to tease any of them like I did with my uncles, but I figured I might as well make my stay enjoyable while I had to. It worked.
Look at it this way: the Volturi was like a high school, complete with the haughty girls, the playful boys, the most trusted (aka 'popular') boys, the rebel (me), the authority (Aro, Marcus, Caius), and the guy who would never (I mean, NEVER) get the girl (cough, cough, Alec, cough, cough). It was high school, although a way more dangerous high school, but high school netherless.
I still missed my family. I wanted to be back home, back in my room with Nessie and Bella. I wanted to have fun with Jake's pack. I wanted to relish in the fact that I had my full family back.
But I couldn't.
Because I had been kidnapped by the very group that haunted my every nightmare. The Volturi.

This was a look into what the rescue group had been seeing, and what Melony was feeling. It's almost over, but I have an alternate ending planned out, too. If you want me to do that, please review and tell me. I won't be putting a poll up. So you have to review.
