Bur I do own Rachel!

Chapter 9

Let's begin…

Last time:

Either Bella did what I said or she died. She was making that decision tonight.

I walked in the pent house and saw her curled up on the couch.

She was going to make that decision right now!

Rachel's POV

I walked up to Bella, she looked up as she saw me approach. I sat down next to her on the couch and looked her straight in the face. She looked back for awhile but then put her head down and looked at the floor. She already knew she had a decision to make, but she was scared to make the wrong decision.

I started to speak. "You know you need to make a decision, and I mean right now!" I pressed with soft voice.

She didn't look up from staring at the floor. "Yeah, I guessed that already." She admitted.

I sighed. "Have you made a decision yet?"

She pressed her lips together into a thin line. "I don't know." she whispered.

I took another deep breath of air in and let it gust out slowly. "I have given you enough time you must choose NOW!"

She cringed away from me. "I…."

She looked up at me shyly and then looked back down again, she was nervous. I was tired of all this stalling but she wasn't giving up on it, she was still hoping I would let her go. But she was wring, she wouldn't be going anywhere for awhile at the least..

I got up from the couch and the anger inside of me got the best of me. "Okay, brat, I gave you your precious time to make a decision and now you have to make it. SO MAKE IT!"

She started shaking and tears spilled over her eyes. Oh please not the crying card, I hate the crying card! I slouched back down into my seat and put my arms tentiavly around Bella hugged her. "I'm sorry for yelling, and I know how hard it is to make a decision but think about it this way, I know how you feel being ripped away from your true love. Because when I was being changed into what I am I was forbidden to make any sort of contact with him."

She looked at me sympathetically. "It makes me feel like I am not all alone in the world… just a little though."

I couldn't believe I was doing this but I was going to give her a chance that I never had and wished I did so I was going to wish it upon Bella. For both of our sakes and sanity's. I pursed my lips and looked down at the ground not know ing how I was going to state this the right way.

"Bella?"

She looked over at me. "Yes?"

"I'm going to give you an out on this whole not talking to your true-love thingy." I stated.

She gasped. "What?"

"I'm going to let you… call and say goodbye… forever."

She had more tears spilling down her cheeks. "Really?" She smiled a weak smile.

I smiled back a little. "Yeah."

She smiled wider and I hink this is the most I have ever seen her smile so much. But I had a condition and I know it would make her go my way. It would be to hard to resist. "But."

She frowned. "But what?"

My smile stayed on. "You can call him if you become what I am."

She bit her lip. "I don't even know what you are yet, so tell me."

Some hair had gotton in my face and I blew on it out of bordem instead of just putting it back into place with my hands. "Well, f you must know I am a… half-vampire half-human." I looked up to see her reaction.

Her expression didn't change. "So…how is that possible?"

I didn't want to have to explain everything to her that would take to long and I really didn't have the patience to explain it all to her tight their and then. She would learn in time just like I did with Aro. "It's a long story and I don't have the patience to explain it all to you right now but just for this moment, the bottle of that liquid I wanted you to drink turns you into one of me."

She folded her hands in her lap and then unfolded them playing around with her fingers while not meeting my gaze. "So… I would live forever?" It was more a question then a statement.

I smiled again, that was one of the best parts of being what I am. "Yep!" I popped the 'p' on the end.

She sighed heavily. "There are so many things to consider."

"Yeah I know how it feels, but Bella I didn't have a choice like you do, I had to do this life I didn't have an option to die. They just did this to me and I had no say in it, I am giving you an option. You can take it if you feel more comfortable dying then staying with me." I was holing back tears at the memory.

Flashback:

I was being dragged into a dark room and I could feel that I wasn't alone except for me and the person dragging me or was it even a person? I felt whoever it was drop me on the ground in the middle of the room. The lights in the room wee barely legible for seeing anything in this room but I could see shadows her and there, their were many people in the room.

I was cold and wet and my head hurt, my neck hurt the most, I remember someone biting me but I didn't feel different. I felt the same as I had before at least emotionly maybe not physically because of the pain I was in but it was still barible to stay conscious.

Someone stepped forward and others followed but the person held a hand up and silenced them, it seemed e was the one in charge. It was still hard to see features on these creatures but I could make out the shapes of them. He stepped forward again and then he was in front of me helping me stand.

"Good job Felix, she'll be perfect for the job." He purred.

Someone chuckled and then all was silent until he spoke again, directally to me this time. "Do you know what we are?"

My breathing was heavy because of the grip he had on my arms, it was painful and I didn't even know if he new he was hurting me? But I was guessing not, either that or he just didn't care. I whimpered. "No."

"Okay then well you will in good time my dear, you will in good time."

"What do you want with me?" I cried.

He smiled smugly. "As some may say your soul but no my dear I want your services."

"With what?" I cried again.

"With capturing someone."

"Do I have any other choice?"

"No."

"Fine I will take what I get"

"Good, glad your listening, Jane bring in the drink." He ordered.

A small petite girl came in carrying a bottle of some strange liquid. She handed it to him and looked at me once then walked back to where she had been before in the shadows.

Aro looked at the bottle like it was the best thing in the world. He brought it over to me and held the bottle u so I coud see it from full view. "Open your mouth." He ordered me.

"I am not drinking that." I cried out.

He smirked. "Oh really? Want to rethink that?" Then I felt pain all over my knees buckled and I heard my ea hit the cold stone ground, it just made my headache worse. What was going on? How could something hurt this much? "Enough Jane." He looked in the shadows in her direction.

I stayed on the floor curled up in a ball. I didn't have the strength to move, I just laid there motionless for who knows how long, in silence. I didn't care if someone killed me and I knew I wasn't getting out of this easily, I had no reason to live, I had no one. I was all alone even though their were… things in this room with me watching me probably I didn't care. I wish they would just kill me already. They said I didn't have a choice but what if I want the choice to die?

Then someone picked me up carefully like I would brake into a million pieces, it was the same guy who had gripped me earlier. He had a softer expression on his face and his eyes were a true terrifying red-ish color. But they were softer then they had been before, and those eyes were looking down into the pits of my soul like he was reading me.

"You are truly amazing Rachel." He whispered sweetly in my ear. Was he trying to seduce me? Because if he was, he was succeeding very well. I wanted to reach out and touch his face and stroke his long black hair. Damnit I wanted to get in this old fuarts pants and BADLY! I don't know why but I really, really wanted to kiss and touch him and other things… oh god did I say that out loud or did he read my mind because he just grinned… very evily if I am correct in my observation.

"Don't worry my dear Rachel we will get there, but first I would like to declare you as my mate." He said.

"Why?" I asked.

He smiled down at me. "Because you are special, my dear, Rachel."

"Well, what if I don't want to be special?" I pressed.

"But you are my dear, very special Indeed." His breath blew across my face and it smelled… very sweet and… I liked the smell, what's wrong with me? How could I like that smell, this man was like probably 50 years old and I am only in my teens, gosh what's with me.

He leaned forward. "I know how you feel about me I can read your mind and memories my dear."

I gasped. "How?"

"Simple my dear it is my gift or power you may say, we VAMPIRES have powers/"

I couldn't breath, no wonder he was so strong and fast and so was everyone else is that why he was so beautiful. Oh my God! What had I gotton my self into? No wait you didn't do this they did, they, these thing, these Vampires kidnapped me and now… well I am guessing I am in deep shit!

I didn't respond to him so he looked at me harder and his grip tightened. "Did you hear me, Rachel?"

I stared back into his eyes. "Yes I heard you." I paused not certain if I should ask but I did, "May I ask, what is your name?"

"Aro."

"And the others." I gestured around the dark shadows.

"Jane, Alec, Felix, Dimitri, Heidi, Marcus, Caius." He gestured to the shadows as each stepped out when there name was called. "And there are plenty more of us, but you will meet them in due time." He continued.

"When you are here my darling at the palace of ours call me Aro, because I am your mate but away from here, call me father so others don't get suspicious." He had a stern voice while saying it.

"Yes… Aro."

I think he then remembered the drink that was placed in his hand. He put me down but very close to him. He unscrewed the top and tipped my chin up with the other hand. "Drink, my mate."

I didn't want to drink it now, I didn't want to live forever without my love or my family. I would rather die. "No."

"What did you say?" Aro asked.

"I said N-" But I was cut off by Aro shuvving the drink down my throat and I had no way to breath I had to swallow. But I didn't want to I wanted to let my breath go and just die but my body wanted to live and I swallowed the liquid unwillingly. It tasted of, Blood and metal, and oranges and one kind of flower but I couldn't put my finger on it. For me it was good but repulsive at the same time.

Once I had swallowed Aro smiled down at me from his side and then I was on my knees not able to keep myself up, there was a cramping in my stomach and really, really bad headache in my head but the worst pain was in my chest, my heart was being squeezed so it was beating faster then normal.

I felt movement around me and then I was being picked up by Aro and then Blackness swallowed me up.

End Of Flashback.

There was a shaking on my shoulders. "Rachel, can you hear me?" I heard Bella ask.

I opened my eyes and looked right up at her chocolate brown ones, they were so innocent and so child like. When she saw I had opened my eyes she let go of my shoulders and I had noticed we had ended up on the floor me laying down and her kneeling over me.

Those eyes held concern. "Are you okay?" She asked.

I started to get up. "Yeah, I'm fine." She helped me up and I looked at her, she was so caring so selfless.

"What happened?"

"Nothing I just get that way when I have strong flashes of memory, you probably will to when you become what I am so yeah you just saw what will probably happen to you one day."

"It looked like you fainted." She stated. She stared at me like I was still laying on the floor unconscious.

"Well, I was unconscious because of the memory's power but I'm okay, I pulled out of it." I walked back over to the couch and sat back down. Bella followed suit.

"So where were we?"

What do you think? I know the suspense was killing me about the whole thing about what was Bella's decision but that should be in the next chapter. Sorry for the inticapation. But hope you like I tried to make it long. You also got to learn more about Rachel and what's been going on with her.

REVIEW PLEASE!!!
