"What happens if vampires starve?" I asked my cell mate. Zafarina was looking particulary gaunt and skinny, like she hadn't had food for years. Her beauty was now fading considerably and if possible she looked slightly older. I was in pretty bad shape too but I'm really starting to worry about her, at least I hadn't started to grow skinny. The problem I have is that I'm substantly weak, otherwise I could bust us out of this joint.

"We don't die, though we wish we were dead. We only lose our predatory skills and become weak, Felix better come quick." She chuckled. She always kept a light tone, like Felix was away at the market and she really needed some eggs or something. She never gave up hope that he would come, I was very close to giving up hope. I figured that Alec would have given up by now and realised it's not worth his trouble, he could find someone way better anyways. I was ready to accept death anyways, my throats burns like fire and every bone in my body aches from Jane's torturing. Hell looks like a piece of cake now.

Jane seemed to be at ease with torturing me now, she even managed to grin once or twice. She enjoyed taking Aro's praise even though she knows she doing something that effects her brother. Maybe if she did kill me Alec would forgive her in time, maybe he would find a new mate. I kicked my heels against the wall, not even feeling sore anymore as my arms had gone numb from just hanging.

"Yeah they do need to hurry up, it'll be any day now before they kill us." I said. Zafarina chuckled hoarsley, he black hair swaying gently.

"Dear Cullen, they will not kill us for centuries. They want Alec and Felix to suffer like dogs in front of a bowl of food, let us just pray that we will escape somehow." Zafarina said. I gulped whatever venom was left in me down my throat, my eyes growing sad. "You really think they will abandon us don't you?"

I sighed.

"I don't know if he will, but he should. I don't want to cause him any pain, he has to go against his sister and his creator." I admitted. Before Zafarina could even aswer, the hallow sound of boots on cobblestone rung throughout the dungeon. Demetri and Santigo unlocked the cell and dragged both of us out, taking us to our torture. As per usual Jane and Aro were there smiling like the total bastards they were, this time I didn't fight when the chained me to the table.

I screamed as the brutal pain riveted my body, thrashing and flailing. I knew it wasn't that bad if I could move, but the pain was still imensley irritating. Soon it grew worse and worse, until my whole body couldn't move and I could lie and spasm. I was released from my pain and soon Zafarina's screamse filled the dungeon, she never had it worse than me. Her torture was always short and mild, boy Jane must really hate me. I don't know how long I just laid there, wishing for death to consume me.

I was screaming and screaming, hearing Aro only chuckle. I was surprised though when the door opened and Aro averted his eyes to a bunch of familiar presences, his chilling voice scaring me.

"Welcome my friends..." Aro whispered hauntingly. The wind blew and I picked the familiar scent of my family and of Alec, it felt as if the pain was melting away. Soon Jane released me and was staring at Alec hopefully, even though I could feel him glare.

"Brother, she's not good for you." Jane pleaded. I could feel Alec and Felix's energy walk towards us, Alec picking me up in a bridal hold as my vision started to fade. I struggled to see, even though I was happy to die in my mates arms if it had to come to it.

"I don't know who you are anymore Jane, if you were really my sister you wouldn't have acted this way." Alec said. "Don't ever speak to me again."
