Enjoy!
Evelyn's p.o.v
The sun was rising.
I extended my hands in the direction of the sun trying to catch a few rays of that golden light.
Time ticked by slowly, I started to wonder if it's possibly to die from simply being bored…
The small collection of furniture, the bed, the cupboard, the desk…basically everything was on a different spot now.
"…I need to get out of here."
I grabbed the robe from its respective hook and put it on.
Slowly I turned the doorknob and stuck my head out, to make sure no one would see me sneak out.
Even though I knew the guards would never be far away.
I honestly did not care who I would encounter as long as it wasn't Demetri or Jane…or Aro…
who am I kidding, I didn't want to encounter any of them.
Perhaps I should head back to 'my' room…
I shook my head, anything was better than going back in there.
After turning a couple of corners I noticed in the distance a very tall and double door. Immediately I realized it was the door that lead to outside.
My mind was a blank, as my feet started to move by themselves, going faster with each step as the door came closer.
"Miss Swan, where are you going?"
I recognized it as Heidi's voice, but the sound of her voice did not make me stop from heading out of that door.
"Guards!" she ordered.
It only took 2 seconds before two of the Volturi guards took their stand in front of the double door.
I stopped right in front of them.
"Move!" I said with a stern voice.
One of the guards immediately obeyed my words and bowed slightly before taking a step to the side.
The other guard was less of an idiot, for he had his eyes closed.
"So I see…" I mumbled as Heidi appeared behind me.
"Miss Swan, what are you planning? You're not allowed to go outside!" Heidi exclaimed grabbing hold of my arm.
I turned around and looked at her," I wanted to go outside. Am I not a quest here?"
She blinked a moment but shook her head," I have orders, you cannot go outside. Hardly anyone of us goes outside unless it is needed for something."
"Well I NEED to go outside." I told her as I yanked my arm from her grasp.
Heidi crossed her arms and lowered her head," Don't do this to me Miss Swan, I don't want to get in trouble."
I couldn't help but frown, was Heidi actually treating me kindly? But to be fair she has been the only one so far to treat me with any form of kindness…
Somehow I couldn't resist.
With a heavy feeling I sighed," Fine…"
She looked at me and smiled.
I turned my attention to the guard at the wall and told him to get back to do his duty.
After that I left the entrance hall and headed back towards my prison.
Something collided with me as I turned one of the many corners.
"Watch where you're going, you witch!" a female voice hissed at me.
I lowered my head to see I collided with Jane.
One of the people I did not wish to encounter.
"You watch it, little one." I snapped back at her," I have not forgotten what you did to my mate."
"I'll gladly do it again if I had the chance…" she said with a low voice as she tilted her head to look at me.
"Maybe you're forgetting a little detail?" I smirked," you can't, remember?"
That comment caused Jane to growl with anger at me.
I did not know why she was so upset, she hurt my mate I made her hurt her twin brother.
"I can still inflict it on you!"
"Try it little one, and I'll make you pay!"
"Jane!"
Immediately Jane jerked her head to the direction from which the voice came.
"Alec…" she responded to her twin brother.
The boy stepped up to his sister then turned his attention to me.
"Miss Swan, I apologize for my sister. She has not been herself ever since you…well I guess I don't have to finish that sentence."
I couldn't help but frown with suspicion at him; he was being awfully …polite.
"I-I…" With a grunt I walked away from the twins.
What on earth was up with that?
It was only a minute ago that I had heard and smelled a group of humans walking past my door.
The scent had been tempting; a little too much.
I had noticed my eyes were no longer amber colored but black as I had peered at my reflection.
I needed to eat something…anything would do as long as it wasn't a human.
I pressed my head against the iron bars; with my eyes closed I listened to the talking people on the street, listened to the sounds of birds chirping in the distance…
Suddenly I recognized something, my nostrils flared as I picked up a scent which smelled very familiar.
I opened my eyes and saw Richard O'Donnell climbing up towards my window.
"Rick!" I exclaimed, being very happy to see he hadn't been caught by the Volturi, but very angry that he hadn't been there when Jasper appeared before the Volturi a few days ago.
"By George…you look awful Evelyn." He commented as soon as he had reached me.
"Glad to see you too, Rick."
Rick looked through the bars into my humble accommodation and tsked,
"So much for treating you as a guest… how are you holding up?"
"Do you even have to ask?" I moaned, then suddenly I reached out and grabbed hold of the front of his jacket,
"where the hell have you been huh? I don't recall seeing you there when in fact you should have been with us!"
"Whoa, Eve baby, easy now." Rick grabbed hold of my hand and removed it," It was all Jaspers plan, alright? He did not want me there.
"If something happened I would have been the only one to warn Alice and the others."
Good point
"I'm sorry Rick, I can't…focus. I hope you've been keeping in touch with Jasper though?"
Rick scratched the back of his head nervously," I haven't seen him since him and I split up.
"But no need to worry," he quickly added as I glared at him,
"I'll make sure he hears from me tonight, I promise."
"I'm hungry Rick…" I whispered," I don't know how long I can keep this up…"
I turned my head away," Demetri…he…I- I-"
I felt Rick's hand on my shoulder, with his other hand he cupped my cheek and forced me to look at him.
"I saw…I know what he did…" he said with a concerned look.
"I don't want to snap," I leaned into his hand," but if I get hungrier…I don't know what will happen."
Rick looked over his shoulder, he thought for a moment," I might find something… but it won't be big. Isn't it easier to just,-"
"No!" I cut him off before he could finish his sentence," I will not feed on a human!"
Suddenly Rick closed his eyes and reopened them after a few seconds.
"Demetri is coming, I'm sorry I've got to go."
he removed his hand and jumped away from the window," I'll be back soon with something, I promise."
You'd better be…I thought.
I kept staring out of the window until Demetri entered without even knocking.
Silently he approached me, my eyes stayed focused on outside.
"Heidi told me you tried to leave…"
"I'm still here aren't I?" I answered not looking at him.
Demetri started to laugh," You did not want to leave…"
I turned my head and glared at him," ridiculous."
He moved closer," in your mind you've already succumbed to me…completely succumbed to me."
" is that what you believe, or is that what you want to happen?"
Demetri just smiled at me and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear,
"why did you try to leave?"
Foolish as I was I slapped his hand away from my face.
I did not want Demetri near me.
"Can't you imagine why I wanted to walk out of here?" I said taking a step back,
"I've been stuck in here with iron bars in front of my window!"
"You can go out any time when you want to…" Demetri stated as he stared deeply into my eyes, he blinked for a moment," you are hungry my sweet."
I turned my back to him, cursing my vampire eyes for turning black because of the hunger that rested within me.
Demetri closed the space between us by stepping up behind me and grabbing hold of my upper arms,
"Stop doing this to yourself, if you do not eat…I don't want you to grow weak."
"Why do you care? I will become an easy prey for you. Or am I not interesting anymore because I'm already a vampire?"
He dug his nails deeply into my skin," Are you challenging me, Evelyn sweetheart?"
"I'm not wasting my time on this…" I mumbled as I tried to twist myself out of his grasp.
"What happened to that strong willed Evy huh?" he hissed against my hair.
"SHE DIED THE DAY YOU TOOK EVERYTHING OF ME!" I screamed pulling myself out of his grasp,
"ARO, THE ENTIRE BLOODY VOLTURI AND MOST OF ALL YOU!"
Demetri was quite alarmed; he had not expected me to respond like this.
With a twisted face of anger, I grabbed hold of him and threw him across the small room.
A loud crash echoed as Demetri landed in the wooded cabinet.
I was so focused on my anger towards Demetri that I had not heard the door open.
Before I had the chance to jump towards Demetri, I was grabbed by two guards.
They lifted me up which left my feet dangling above the ground.
"What is the meaning of this?" Caius and Marcus had entered the room.
Demetri quickly got up on his feet," Nothing happened, Sir." he lowered his head.
The pale blond Volturi leader glanced at the broken cabinet,
"I can see that, Demetri…"
"Miss Swan just had a little outburst." He replied causing me to growl deeply.
"Hush!" Caius hissed at me, then he turned his attention back to the tracker,
"a little outburst? We could hear her all the way in the throne room!"
"I think it is best if you all left, release her." Marcus spoke clearly to the men who were holding me tight.
They immediately followed his order and dropped me on the floor.
I scrambled back up on my feet.
Caius looked at his co-leader and frowned," you intend to stay behind?"
Marcus nodded," I will keep an eye on her as you will report what happened to Aro."
My (non-existing) heart sank. I was actually scared of what would happen if Aro was informed of my outburst.
Caius was the one I feared mostly now because he was very intimidating…but Aro…Aro was a whole other story.
The white haired leader huffed then turned his back to me and walked away.
"Demetri!" He hollered.
Giving me one last glance Demetri followed his leader.
Marcus turned his attention to the guards who had kept their post beside me," you may leave."
The guards nodded and left the room, closing the door behind them.
I crossed my arms and backed up against the board at the foot of the bed.
"Finally we have a moment alone…" Marcus said with a husky voice.
