Chapter 3
Bella's POV
17-Years-Old
I slit his throat with the sword and was no concentrating with the men behind me. Each one holding a mask over there faces to hide their appearances from me. One had an axe and headed it straight for my head, I ducked and cut his arm of managing to slit the other mans throat while I did it. I stabbed him in the chest and then the4 game was over.
The people shouted my name over and over again; they adored me because I was a killer. I am here to entertain them. That is all I am.
After the blood bath Derico had asked me into his room.
"Isabella"
"Derico what is it?"
"I just wanted to say we're heading to Rome tomorrow for you all to fight in the Coliseum"
I nodded "And?"
"The competition shall be fiercer but there will be the emperor there also I just wanted to warn you, you can't act like yourself with these people. If you back chat them they'll kill you" he walked up to me and held my arms "And I can't let that happen, you are like the daughter I never had and I beg you to behave"
"Derico I can only promise I can try my best, but I shall not bow down to them if I don't think they have earned my respect"
He nodded unhappily, he kissed my forehead
"Go, sleep and be prepared for tomorrow"
Edward's POV
I was in my chambers signing some last minute forms when my father, Carlisle, had decided to join me.
"How are you Edward?"
"Tired" I sighed sitting back in my chair
"Indeed" he agreed "I'm sorry I have to put this burden on you but with me being sick…"
"Father its fine"
"Well we have new slaves coming soon one of which is a woman"
I shot my head up, a woman? That was odd
"Why?"
"Apparently Derico bought her from the same place he buys all of them and he saw potential in her, she must be strong if she's killed everyone she's come across"
I nodded "well I'm off to bed"
"I might want to warn you son Tanya is there"
I sighed the woman just could not take a hint, all because we fooled around once she was attaching herself to me like a leech.
"Thanks for the warning"
I walked to my room and saw her. Her figure being seen by the thin fabric which separated my room. I walked in the living room and saw her sitting on the couch
"Tanya I'm tired, go now"
"But Edward" she smiled
"I'm not interested go now that's an order"
She sighed and walked away. I happily smiled and threw myself on the bed and to sleep.
Bella's POV
We were awoken roughly as usual. The groans of my cell mates were not unusual to me.
We were set in the carriage and the driver started to drive us to Rome.
We had individual conversations with each other talking about how bad it was going to be, how hard our competition would be.
They nagged the doors open when we arrived. We all got out sand then looked up at the great Coliseum
"Bloody hell" Draco whispered
"I know" I replied, I looked to my best friend Brutus and he held the same worried glance as us all
They had put us in individual cells, mine was next to Brutus and Nathaniel.
"What do you think tomorrow will be like?" Brutus asked
"Not sure" we were lying down on our beds
"Well, this is suppose to be hard"
"We've had worse Brutus"
"I know, well good night"
"Night"
I didn't go to sleep straight away, I thought back to my parents, I knew one or more person in these very walls was responsible for her and possibly my fathers death and I would find out who it was and kill them.
The guard had given us a small tank filled with water; the lads had agreed I would go first and then themselves.
I was only in for a second making sure I covered myself properly just in case no perverted guards saw.
Once we had bathed and collected our swords and armory we walked outside to the arena and saw and heard all of the people who came to be entertained.
We walked out and centered in the middle for the man to come out.
I looked to Brutus and he smirked and shook his head, I chuckled knowing he thought it was ridiculous.
The cheers rose and I knew the emperor had come out; I looked up and saw him standing there. He waved to his people and I scoffed the sick rising in my throat.
I saw Derico sitting down in the stalls watching us intently
Greet your emperor
"Emperor we salute you" my friends shouted while I remained silent, he had done nothing to earn my respect.
"Now, we shall be testing your skills slaves, starting with Isabella Swan"
"Good luck sis" Draco said, I'm glad we got on all of us
"Cheers"
Up walked two men who were smiling
"Remember when that happened to you Draco" the boys teased and I laughed
"Attack"
one of them came up to me and I grabbed my sword tight
"This will be…" I cut him off my cutting his throat the crowd cheered and the other man attacked me I ducked and cut of his armed arm and slit his throat.
The crowd I could tell was bored but none the less where please there was blood shed.
"Bow down to your emperor Isabella" the commentator shouted I scoffed and walked away
The crowd talked
"Now"
"Why was he done for us?" I said seriously
"He has given you life"
"What life, tell me emperor how many people have you killed"
I saw him stand up and leave the stall so he would be coming down.
"Bloody hell Bells" they complained but still smiled at my bodiless I winked at them. and they laughed. The guards in black suits come out first circling us all and then the emperor the crowd cheered
"Who are you to question me" he roared
"What right do you have to imprison us" I shouted back
He walked up to me and grabbed my neck but I pushed him back, the crowd cheered me The emperor looked taken back as everyone is. Derico had come down and placed himself at my side
"Your majesty please forgive her she does not know the rules" he reasoned
"I want to speak to you tonight about your behavior slave" he spat in my face and I did the same.
"YOU LITTLE…"
"Try it" I challenged this man had something to do with my parents murders I was not backing down, hell no.
He walked away and the guards followed him, Derico looked at me worryingly I shook it off, let see what the prat has to say for himself tonight then.
