Evelyn p.o.v

I lowered my head into my hands, what was I thinking…what was he thinking?
Marcus was still standing in my room, awaiting my answer.
Was I going to help him so I could be free? Or was I going to tell on him to Aro?

Why did I get the feeling that no matter what my choice will be, I will get the short end of the stick and probably die?
...again

"You just think about my proposition, if you accept it you'll be a free woman again." Marcus voice awoke me from my thoughts.

Filled with anger I tilted my head and glared at him," what choice do I have? Stop torturing me with this bullshit, you just need me…you could care less about my freedom."

"True, but soon we will both have that which we desire most."

I noticed the change of tone in his voice when he spoke those words, perhaps he had some feelings left in that ancient body of his.

"I'll let you know my answer soon…" I told him, he replied with a nod and left the room without looking back.

Okay Evelyn you so called immortal girl…time to put your thinking cap on…

Jaspers p.o.v

I knew it…
I was sure something had happened to her, maybe that was the reason why I had snapped at Carlisle (causing me to break his arm…)

"how far did he…?" I didn't dare finish the sentence…the thought of his hands upon her…his lips caressing her skin.
It's more then I can stand…

Determined I stood up from the couch and grabbed my coat which I had flung over a chair earlier.

"where do you think you're going, Jasper?" Carlisle asked his adoptive son.

"Where do you think I'm going, Carlisle?" Jasper replied avoiding eye-contact.

In a swift movement the doctor rushed towards the door, blocking Jasper's path.

"Listen to me,-" He started but Jasper cut him off.

"No, you listen to me! I can't stand another moment of this!" He growled through clenched teeth," It's been almost a week now, Evy has been through pain…abuse and lord know what else! What if it was Esme they held captive in there?"

Carlisle sighed deeply and placed a hand on his sons shoulder," I'm sorry Jasper." He said with a stern tone.

"But you know why Evelyn is there, if she hadn't had such a powerful gift,-"

"they would have left her alone? How can you be sure…the emotion that came from Demetri when Aro announced she was to stay behind…" Jasper shook his head and clenched his fist,
"I need to see her!"

"don't get your hopes up Jazz, we'll go alright? But I need you to understand that the chances of you seeing Evy is very, very slim."

Evelyn's p.o.v

Putting my thinking cap on did have effect, I started to wonder what had caused the sudden chance in Marcus behavior.
His cool and cold demeanor was completely gone and instead changed into something dominant and creepy.
This may sound totally ridiculous…I should have deep hatred for Aro and especially Caius, but to let Marcus overthrow or hurt Aro was something I could not let happen.
As much as I hated this situation I was in…the Volturi system did work in vampire world and to let it be disturbed by Marcus his (apparently) hatred towards Aro was something only I could prevent.

Ever since I used my silent persuasion on Chelsea things had started to chance, I'm almost one hundred percent sure that is the case.
But it made no sense, I thought as I touched my chin.
The phrase that I used should not have effected Marcus in any way…

I shook my head, Marcus would never tell me how it happen.
then I remembered something, he knew about what I had done to Chelsea. Those were his exact words.
And if he knew and Aro didn't…then that must be it.
Chelsea is the link to this whole problem.
I stood up from my bed and headed towards the door, for at this moment I had but only one goal.
Chelsea.

Slowly I turned the doorknob and glanced into the hallway, I wasn't sure where I would be able to find Chelsea.
From what I could remember she usually headed to one of the towers on the left side of the building.
It was rather impossible to pass through the hallway without being noticed.
I stopped for a moment, perhaps I was being stupid…they would never let me near Chelsea and the only other way of seeing her was at dinner…or in the 'throne' room.

"ah Miss Swan, out of your room I see. Have you decided to join us for dinner?" Heidi had appeared behind me, which was another reason why I had stopped.

"the answer to that question is still no, Heidi." I replied with my back still turned to her.

"please Miss Swan, you're getting very weak. You must not worry the others."

no, no they couldn't risk losing someone like me.
I turned around,

"Thank you Heidi, but I'm actually looking for Chelsea…do you know where she is?"

The tall brunette frowned at my question but then shook her head," I'm sorry but the orders are clear, you are not to be in one room with Chelsea."

I crossed my arms over my chest," on whose authority?"

"Mine." A voice said behind me.

Instinctively I knew who that voice belonged to… my dear friend Demetri.

"Yours?"

Demetri walked past me and took his place next to Heidi," well…not mine, actually it is an order from the leaders. They wouldn't want you to do anything to our dear Chelsea."

Great… I thought.

"You run along my pet." Demetri whispered to Heidi as he lowered his lips and kissed her neck gently.
Heidi with her violet eyes smiled at his remark then left us alone.

"She'll be turned sooner or later," Demetri said with a smirk when Heidi was well out of sight," would you like the honor?"

I grimaced," no thank you…"

"I'm surprised you haven't jumped her yet. By now I had expected your hunger to take the upper hand." He laughed.

"unless you're are going to tell me where I can find dearest Chelsea, I would like for you to stop wasting my time." I sneered at him.

"Perhaps if you care to tell me why you need to see Chelsea, I may inform you on her location."

I huffed," of course you will…"

Demetri did not reply at my remark. I stared at him, when he did not move I sighed," Let's just say that there is something that I need to set straight."

Demetri arched an eyebrow.
He stepped in front of me and looked at me intensely," what will happen if I take you to Chelsea?"

"Nothing will affect you in all this. Is that enough information for you?"

I was getting rather annoyed , he was staling me and I needed my energy for something else instead of wasting in on this conversation with Demetri.
"Who will it effect? If you're planning on something that could hurt the Volturi, you know I'll have to stop you."

I couldn't help but chuckle a bit, if he only knew something like that was already happening.
"I'm guessing Marcus did not tell you about his plan did he?"

With a swift movement Demetri had pulled me into one of the rooms in the corridor.

"Speak up! What are you talking about, you little minx?" Demetri practically spat at me as he shoved me against one of the walls in the room," I know Marcus has been talking to you unfortunately I was never around to eavesdrop on your conversation. Except for the little one you had with Richard O'Donnell.
"Oh yes, I know he came to your window. Don't be so shocked my sweet, I'm a tracker remember? I've been keeping my senses out to him and your lover of course." He laughed for a moment," I'm sorry, your fiancée."

My mouth was shut in a tight line, I wanted to slap that smug look from his hideous face.
But there would be time for that later, I needed to see Chelsea!

"Why don't you get out of my face! The sooner I get to Chelsea the better."

"No!" Demetri replied rather loudly," you tell me what Marcus has been asking of you. It must be important because I've never seen him as…lively like this."

"Keen observation."

"I don't have time for games, Evelyn." He sounded serious, it baffled me.
Demetri was no fool (unfortunately) something was going on and he wanted to know what it was.
He was so serious he even called me by my name…

"Marcus is no longer under the influence of Chelsea's power…" I whispered at him as he dug his nails into my shoulders.

Demetri gazed deep into my eyes," how did you know?"

"I sort of guessed, I'm not dense you know."

"It does explain a lot…." Demetri mumbled to himself then turned his attention back to me," but how did that happen? You were never alone with her ever since you arrived here."

Shoot, I bit my bottom lip," The important thing is that we need to reverse this."

"If Aro finds out what you did,-"

"If you shut up about it he won't find out!" I hissed.

Demetri sighed deeply," do not forget about Aro's power, my sweet, if he touches you and he sees what has been going on…"

I haven't thought about that…
Stupid, stupid me!
It did not matter though, I should still reverse what I started.

"Listen Demetri, it doesn't matter either way I'll probably get destroyed. If not by Aro then probably by Caius or Marcus. I just need to see her, I don't even have to say anything to Chelsea. Just get me into the room and I'll fix it."

Demetri arched an eyebrow," he wants to hurt Aro, doesn't he?"

I answered with a nod.

Without replying Demetri pulled me away from the door and back into the corridor.
"I can't believe I'm doing this…" I heard him whisper softly to himself.

He guided me through the building towards the tower where Chelsea was, (at least I hoped that's what he was doing.)
We ascended a staircase and stopped in front of a wooden door.
Demetri knocked on the door, still having a hold of my upper arm.

"Chelsea, open the door. I need to talk to you."

"What is SHE doing there with you?" Chelsea's voice sounded from the other side of the door.

"Chelsea please, if you open the door and let us in I'll explain everything to you my dearest."
Demetri said with a soft voice.
Somehow the way he spoke to her had effect, Chelsea opened the door and smiled at him followed by a sneer at me.
Without saying a word Demetri pushed me into the room as Chelsea stepped aside.

"Yes?" she spoke awaiting for one of us to begin talking.

I opened my mouth to tell her but before I could she jumped back and hissed at me," do not let her talk to me, I do not want to be brainwashed!"

I turned my head away," fair enough…"

"Why did you wanted to see me, Demetri?" She asked not paying attention to me as I walked towards the wall to lean against it.

"I wanted to asked you something, love. Have you noticed any…difference about Marcus?"

Chelsea blinked for a moment and nodded.

"Do you know why?" Demetri continued.

Chelsea dropped on her knees and grabbed hold of Demetri's robe," Don't tell Aro, I did nothing! I just can't…I tried, I really tried!" She howled burying her head into his robe,
" you have to believe me Demetri! I don't want to be destroyed… I swear I did nothing on purpose."

Demetri tried to shush her but she kept on rambling, I saw Demetri raising his right hand as if he was about to slap her out of her state, when she turned her focus on me.
Which was all I needed…

"It was her! I'm sure of it! I don't know how she pulled it off, but it's got to be her!" Chelsea was raging mad, unfortunately for her, as she was yelling all of those words, I took my chance to undo the damage.

No more, you are no longer under my command! I stared at her intensely as I whispered the words inside my mind.

Chelsea had stopped her raging and I dropped to the floor.
