I tried to scream. But with his mouth on mine it only came out as a moan. Which urged him on. What a disgusting pig. I tried to think of a way out of this ..this mess. But nothing came to me. I was panicking and not thinking clearly; my thoughts were jumbled and disconnected. I was hyperventilating, I couldn't get enough air.
Soon when I was beginning to suffocate he let my mouth go. But kept a firm grip on both of my arms. Instead of stopping to catch my breath I let out a scream, but my being out of breath it came out as more of a loud gasp. I didn't have time to try to scream again because he trapped my lips with his own once again. Next I tried to pull his hair which I quickly found out was as strong as everything else on his body. It was at this time of trying to pull his hair out of his head that the door was pushed over its hinges and there stood Caius. His eyes darted quickly about the room and landed on us. When they did shock spread over his face, then disgust. I didn't have time to wonder at his weird reaction before his gaze meant mine. His eyes darkened and his nostrils flared.
"Caius!" I called trying to get his attention so he would pull Dickward off of me. But he did something I never would have thought: he turned and walked away. He left me. He left me while I was being assaulted? What the hell was going on?! It was then when I turned to look at Edward I remembered. I remembered I had 'powers'. How had I forgotten? Whatever the reason I know used them now flinging Edward across the room. Not staying around to see what he was doing I darted out of the room and to the left where I had seen Caius turn.
"Caius! Caius where are you going?" I called as I sped up. I knew if he really wanted to be gone I wouldn't even be able to see him. He finally stopped moving completely in front of two large windows where sunlight leaked into the hallway.
After a few more seconds I caught up to him.
"Caius? What the hell was that?!" I cried as I stood behind him his back to my face.
"I was just wondering the same thing." He said.
"What the hell does that mean?" I demanded impatiently. I mean what the hell was wrong with him? why was his acting so un-Caius like? He should have been pissed at what Edward pulled. I sure as hell was!
"What it funny?" He asked lightly.
"Was what fun?" He was beginning to scare me a bit. Could vampires get sick? Or going insane?
"Did you and Cullen plan it from the beginning? Pretend to love me for a laugh? Did you find it funny?" He turned around to look at me then. His eyes were coal black and his face made into an unreadable expression.
"What? no! I didn't doing anything..what are you talking-" But then it hit me. He thought me and Edward had been kissing. More like he had been trying to swallow my face.
"Caius, no. It was nothing. He kissed me!" I exclaimed. He let out a cruel laugh.
"Sure, sure." He said jokingly. I didn't find it funny. Maybe he was losing his mind? I suppose it was possible.
"Caius, what's wrong with you?" I asked frowning. As soon as I said it I wished I hadn't: All traces of humor left his faces, and it seemed to darken like in the cartoons, and he suddenly seemed so much bigger then me. I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stick up as he took a step closure, but I held my ground. I knew he wouldn't hurt me.
"It's over Isabella, leave. Go home. I never want to see you again." He snarled looking down at me. I heard what his said, I knew what it meant, but I couldn't seem to connect the meaning and the sounds. Leave? Go home?
"This is my home." I said shakily.
"Not anymore! I am going on a mission immediately when I return I expect you to be gone." And he was gone. His robes cascading across the floor. I watched him, silently until he wen't out of sight.
Once could say I was in shock, I would agree.
I think I was still in a state of shock when I silently turned, and headed back for my room.
Opening my room I was met with -what felt like- a hundred set of eyes starring at me. But I ignored them all.
"Where's Edward?" I asked quietly, calmly.
"Throne room." Offered someone. I didn't stop to see who.
I closed the door as quickly as I opened it and headed for the throne room.
When I entered it I heard the raised voices that the sound proof room had hidden.
Marcus was screaming at both Aro and Edward; Telling Aro that the 'boy' needed to be punished and screaming at Edward that he would be the one to punish him. Aro was trying to console Marcus and tell him that Edward would be dealt with according. And Edward was trying to say he had done nothing wrong. They all stopped talking when they realized I entered the room and stared at me. I noticed then that I was crying. But I didn't try to stop it: that would take to much energy and I needed as much of that, that I could get.
I silently raised my hand, and flung Edward once again across a room. When he hit the wall, it left a dent. I then proceeded to leave Edward sized dents on almost every part of the wall. When I finally stopped to take a breath most of his cloths were torn, and his hair was more wild then usual.
I felt my energy drain away, and my shoulders sag as I began to lose it. Suddenly I was pulled into a hug.
"Shh, little one. Everything will be fine, I'll make everything okay." Marcus cooed in my ear.
As I sobbed I gripped his shirt as tight as I could as if he would disappear from my hold. Perhaps he would.
"Isabella, you must reconsider!" Cried Aro for the seventh time.
I ignored him. Harshly hurdling all of my belongs in my suitcase.
"Please Bells, we'll figure this all out." Reasoned Emmett with Felix nodding furiously behind him.
"No, he wants me gone. So I'll go." I had meant my voice to come out loud, strong. But instead it was quiet, and scared.
"He did not mean it! Once we get a hold of him we shall make all right. He will see reason." Pitched in Sulpicia.
"Caius? See reason?" I said shaking my head in disbelief.
"Bella, please." Tried Jasper hopelessly.
"I'm sorry Jasper, I truly am. But you're come visit me? won't you?" I asked as I began zipping my bags.
"Of course..I just wish you would reconsider."
"I can't." I said as I grabbed my suit case, bag back, and tote bag.
"Will you send me the rest of my stuff?" I asked Heidi.
"Of course." She said mournfully as she wrapped her arms around me.
"Hey! Don't be so sad, maybe I'll visit next year or the year after? or you guys can come visit me." I said laughing lightly.
"You better visit, Isabella Swan." Said Demetri as he wrapped his arms around me once Heidi moved.
"I will, I promise." I said took a deep breath. Once he let me go I looked around the room.
"I..I love you all and thank you so very much for welcoming and I better see each and every one of you soon." I said smiling despite the prickly feeling in my eyes.
"Come along or you're be late." Said Marcus appearing at my side and offering me his arm.
Giving one last wave to everyone I turned and left.
"I'm gonna miss them." I muttered tearfully.
"As they will you." He replied.
"Thank you for taking me to the airport." I said after a few minutes when I thought the silence had dragged on long enough.
"It is my pleasure, I would not miss sending you off for the world."
"Don't tell Aro this, but I think I'm going to miss you more then everyone else..maybe even combined." I said leaning my head on his shoulder. He let out one of his deep laughs that vibrated through me.
"You will visit won't you?" I asked looking up at him.
"Of course, little one."
"Goodbye, Marcus." I said hugging him tightly.
"Goodbye, Isabella." He whispered against my hair.
"I'm going to miss you so much." I said ignoring the tears that were falling steadily.
"Ah, but I have a feeling you will miss someone much more then me." He said holding me at arms length. All I could do was nod.
It was true I was going to miss Marcus so very much and just leaving him left a small ache in my heart. But leaving Caius or rather Caius leaving me made it sometimes hard to breath.
"He will come to his senses soon and we shall have you back at the castle soon. Yes?" He said.
"Yeah," I said nodding.
"Flight 501 to Seattle, Washington." Called the flight attendant lady.
"That's me." I said biting my lip.
"Indeed." He said, but made no move to let go of my hand.
Leaning forward I quickly kissed him on the cheek before stepping back quickly and grabbing my bags. Without turning back-because I knew if I did I wouldn't be able to leave- I started to board the plane. It was only once I handed the lady my ticket that I looked back. I smiled sadly at Marcus, waved, turned back and starting trekking onto the plane.
As the city of Volturia, Italy went out of view I closed my eyes and tried calming my breathing. This was it. He really wasn't going to come and tell me to stay. He really wanted me gone. And I was really going. Picking up my phone I made the call I'd been dreading because it meant I was really leaving and he wasn't stopping me.
"Hey, Jacob." I said when he answered the phone.
"Bells?"
"Yeah,"
"Whats wrong?"
"I...uh..I'm coming home." I breathed.
"What? why?"
"I'll explain when I get there. I'm on the airplane right now." I said.
'Okay, tell me when you get close. I'll pick you up."
"Thanks, Jake." And with that I hung up.
"Bella! Bella!" Called that familiar deep voice.
"Jake!" I cried turning around. I didn't get a chance to fully see him before I was engulfed in a bone crushing hug.
"Jake...can't breath!." I gasped.
"Oh, sorry Bells. I'm just so happy your here."
"Me too, Jake. I missed it here." I said smiling.
"So, are you gonna tell me what happened?" He asked as he grabbed my bags from me.
"Is Angela here?" I asked trying to change the conversation.
"No, and are you going to tell me or not?"
"Jake," I sighed "Just give me some..time." Time. As if that would help. No amount of time could make me feel any better, I was sure of that.
"Sure, Bells." He said as he put his arm around my shoulders.
"Thanks, Jake. Thanks for everything."
He left me. I was alone.
I woke up screaming. Trying to catch my breath I sat up. It didn't help. My breath was still coming in small gasps. I didn't have enough air! I couldn't breath, I felt like my chest was constricting. It hurt. Then I could breath again. My shoulders fell limp, and my body shook was silent sobs.
He didn't want me. Told me to leave. All incoherent thoughts that were currently flying around in my head. They banged into each other and gave me an uncomfortable feeling of loss and of seeing something but it was to fast to really comprehend.
Taking deep breathes to calm myself, I flipped my legs over the bed and shakily made my way blindly towards the door.
It was pitch black outside, the moon hadn't bothered to shine. Blocked by the huge amount of clouds.
Going down the stairs I almost dripped on one of guys skateboards. They were all at a bonfire. I had stayed beyond, telling them I was still getting over the time difference. When in all reality I couldn't find it in myself to pretend to happy, to force a smile.
I told myself the first week that just like when Edward left it would get better over time. But I knew deep down that it wouldn't. Caius wasn't Edward. And the few words he said caught deeper then any speech Edward could give.
slowly walking towards the fridge I told myself I was just getting a coke, but when I got to the fridge I reached for the beer.
It was Sam's or Paul's. I didn't really care; as much of my food as they ate of mine they really shouldn't care.
Taking a small swig, I headed back to my room.
Was this the new me? The girl who drank her life away because some guy called her a cheater? But it wasn't just 'some guy' the denying part of my said.
And it was true. Caius wasn't some guy. But still. If I could bounce back from Edward, I should be able to at least stand back up after Caius. Should be, that didn't mean I could.
I groaned. I was getting a headache. Being inside my head was like watching a ping pong match. Back and fourth between my denial and my ration side. At the moment denial was winning. The continuing sips of beer most likely weren't helping my ration side.
Crawling into my bed, I tried to steer clear of any thoughts of you know who.
Pulling my phone from it's charger on the opposite side of the bed, I leaned against the headboard and starting sorting through pictures. I laughed at the one with me and Felix making faces at the camera, and the pictures of me and Demetri making famous poses. Then there were the pictures that made me sigh wistfully like the ones of me on Emmett's shoulders laughing. I missed them. I missed them all so much, even if it had only been a week and a half since I had last seen them.
Emmett, Rose, Alice, and Jasper had promised they would be coming to see me before the month was over. And Heidi and Sulpicia were already planning my next 'visit' to volturia.
Marcus had been convinced-by Aro- to get a phone so we could text and send each other of pictures. Which we did almost hourly in the daytime. They still hadn't heard anything from Caius. He had apparently taken Jane and Alec to Egypt where a small coven of vampires was making a 'scene'. And just like that; I thought about him. When just minutes ago I promised myself I wouldn't. Strong willpower I have. Not.
A/N: Hey, everyone!
So who wasn't expecting that? Sorry to anyone who well hated it...but don't worry I doubt this will be the last we hear of Caius.
Anyway, drum roll please.
I would like to brag a bit, and this most likely will not seem like a big deal to you guys but: I have 30,622 views! Yay! Do you understand how freaking amazing that is?! I could jump for joy. In fact, I already did a victory dance. I love you all and thank you so much for the support! That being said I miss hearing from you all! I love criticism especially constructive criticism so give it to me! What do you hate? What do you love? What should I change? Tell me anything and don't be afraid to hurt my feelings or anything! Love you all! -Monet
