a.n: Yet another chapter! Enjoy!
MPOV (Melissa's point of view)
I was completely shocked. She had been lying to me? Why hadn't I noticed it? I can't believe I thought Alison meant what she was saying. I suppose some part down deep in me, knew she was lying. But a bigger part of me wanted so bad for her to be telling the truth.
"You'll love being a vampire." Jane assured me as she carried me though the forest. Aro was here too, should have known.
"Vampire life was meant for you Melissa." My mother, no, Alison told me. I wasn't going to refer to her as a mother anymore, much less my mother. She didn't deserve the title, she didn't, never will.
I let them take me in to the forest, I let them talk trash about my family. I was just waiting, listening. Sooner or later someone would slip up and I'd figure out there plan. I didn't have to wait long.
"Do you really think there all going to come?" Alison asked Jane.
"Of course, you don't know these people like we do. For centuries now we've had to put up with the Cullen's." Jane started but her brother, Alec, finished. "I think it's about time we got rid of these trouble makers. Melissa was the perfect person. She has no power, but she does have family. She was the perfect way to lead the Cullen's right in to our little trap."
"And I believe she'll make a great vampire." Aro added, smiling.
I made sure to keep an eye out for my family. I didn't want them to get hurt.
"When are we taking her back to the house?" Jane asked.
Aro shook his head. "Everyone is staying here. I am taking Melissa back to the house."
Jane glared at him. "You said I was---."
Aro interrupted her. "I don't care what I said before. I'm saying this now, I'm taking her alone." Jane didn't say anything more, just glared.
I figured it was time for me to start putting up a fight.
"I'm going no where with you!" I yelled.
Aro turned and smiled at me sweetly. "Child, please don't be difficult."
"I'm not being difficult just defiant."
Aro shook his head. "The more of a fight you put up, the more people I will have fight and hurt your loved ones." He threatened.
"Don't you dare hurt them!" I screamed at him, thinking of my children. I didn't want them to get hurt because of me, nor did I want any of the Cullen's hurt.
"Zander! You and your guys are fighting now!" Aro called over to a section of trees. With in seconds at least six other Volutri members appeared. He had others waiting? Fine, he wins, for now. I couldn't risk anyone getting hurt because of my stubbornness.
"Okay I hear them coming. It's time to go." Aro stated looking in to the forest.
Alison, Jane, and Alec released me. They handed me over to Aro.
"Remember, no fighting." He whispered.
I answered him with a death glare with just made him smile. Once again I put up no fight as Aro and I ran back to the Cullen house. No one was around, great. I waited until we were inside before I made my move. As Aro was closing the door, I jerked my arm from his grip. Running would have been stupid, seeing how he was a vampire so I tried fighting. That was a mistake.
This guy was like a brick! Kicking him just made my foot throb. Some how while trying to stay out of his grip I got the ropes that tied my hands together undone. Still didn't help me. Punching him just about broke my hand! After that I gave up.
"Do you really know that little about vampires?" Aro wondered, as he tied my hands back together.
"I know a lot about vampires, just not how to fight them." He found this funny.
I must have sat there on that couch for hours. But a glance at the clock told me it had only been fifteen minutes.
"I hear some one, coming. Hopefully it's Jeremy." Aro spoke standing up from his seat next to me.
"Don't you hurt him!" I didn't care what he did to me but I didn't want Jeremy hurt.
Aro smiled. "What happens, is all up to you and Jeremy." Aro started to walk towards the kitchen, I watched him walk gracefully to the doorway.
I blinked and he was in front of me. I jumped ten feet in the air. Aro didn't speak, all he did was stare in to my eyes. As if he was searching for something in them. I felt as if he could see clear to my soul. I had the sudden urge to kiss him. What the hale?!
Aro moved his eyes from mine to my neck. Running a hand though my hair, he leaned down to my neck. I felt nothing, just his breath on my neck. Suddenly I could feel his teeth on my neck. I just knew he was going to bite me right then. But he didn't. He was just making sure I knew he was serious about changing me, in to...someone like him.
When Jeremy came in the door, Aro had already gone in to the kitchen. I hated to admit this to myself, but I was scared. That was a rare thing for me. But who could blame me? I mean there was this blood crazy, over controlling, vampire wanting to change me. I had the right to be scared.
"Glad to have you join us Jeremy." Aro's voice said from the kitchen, Jeremy didn't seem to realize that. "You got here just in time." Sadly I knew just what he was talking about.
JPOV (Jeremy's point of view)
I stood back and watched my family fight. They didn't need my help with the wolves around. Besides I wasn't looking to fight anyone but Alison or Aro. They were the ones behind this plan to take Melissa, so only they were worth fighting. I scanned the place and only saw Alison. I would have went over and had a few "words" with her but I had something bigger to worry about. Melissa wasn't here.
Where was she then?
It only took reading two minds to find that out.
How could I be so stupid! Of course she wasn't here! This was a distraction! I yelled at myself as I ran back towards the Cullen house.
With all these mind readers, how had we missed this?
When I reached the house I got a big surprise. Melissa was there in the living room. At just a glance she would have looked fine but when you actually looked at her, she looked scared. That wasn't normal for Melissa, she was hardly scared of anything.
"Glad to have you join us Jeremy." Aro's voice said from somewhere, but I couldn't quite point out where. "You got here just in time." Just in time for what?
a.n.: Review please! Okay bad news guys, the story is nearing a close. I really think I should have ended it back when Jeremy asked Melissa to marry him. I had planned on them having a great wedding and ending the story just after the wedding. Then writing like a second part or something. I guess at the time I just wasn't ready to end the story but now I am. I'm ready. Just a little heads up for you guys! Don't forget to review!
