Disclaimer: Stephenie Meyer is the creator of these intriguing characters. She and the filmmakers have made a fascinating and beautiful trilogy. I wish to borrow her background and add a plot twist of my own. I also made use of the site ' wiki/Volturi' a fantastic site if I may say and well worth a read for twilight fans.

This is a long chapter and for the squeamish readers - be warned this chapter has serious lemons and violence; I don't condone violence but hey we are in the company of vampires.

Chapter 40 – A normal day in prison

Jaspers POV

Bob had been very helpful he not only knew the manufacturer but also the type of aircraft and the model of the planes that had been parked at the small airport. Unhappily he had not seen the pilots or the passengers of the planes but, we now had a lead that we could use for further inquires at the Anchorage airport.

Once we had notified Carlisle of our progress I had convinced Jacob to go back to Forks as Riley and I decided to go back to the Denali homestead to discuss the situation with the others. At first Jacob refused to leave as he couldn't help but worry about Bella but I convinced him that he had done all he could and that if he were to come with us it would only get him killed. We parted company; Jacob took the van as Riley and I quickly made it home by foot.

When we arrived at the Denali's Caius was in a fit! He was furious that we hadn't been able to stop the kidnappers. I had to use my powers to calm him down so that once he cooled down we could have our gathering of both covens, Athenodora and Caius. The old Caius had come back as arrogant and bad-tempered as ever but we were lucky as Athenodora took the brunt of his wrath for having brought Bella to us.

We told them our progress but Caius was unreasonable condemning the fact that it had already taken us two days to get this far. He wanted fast results and that was something we couldn't give him. Now he wanted to get Demetri into the picture but Athenodora was against it.

"Nikolai was one of the guards of the Volturi; have you forgotten?" she harshly refuted.

"No but he could have done it all on his own; now that the shift shaper has killed him we will never know who is behind this or if he did it on his own" Caius argued allowing his impatience to surface.

"Listen Caius" Athenodora explained as she caught his hand "he was paid for this work and we don't know who did that"

Caius shook her off saying "Maybe so but we can't prove who did it. Athenodora I have followed your advice up to now and it helped me to win Isabella's heart but it is also the reason she got away. I am furious at her for behaving this way but according to what we know she did not do it to scorn me. You know what will happen to both of us if we are separated too long so I'll be damned if I lose her".

He then walked away from her saying "You have had your chance; now we will do it my way. I want her back and as soon as possible. I am going to ask Aro to send Demetri. I won't tolerate her to be away from me longer than is necessary".

She huffed and said "Don't you realize that this is exactly what Aro wants?"

He turned and took a step towards her and furiously "I don't care if this is what he, or anyone else wants for that matter. It is what I want, Isabella is my mate and she belongs at my side. I have lived for 2000 years on my own intuition and temperament and both have served me well as I am now one of the Volturi kings. Let me be! Even if Demetri were to come it will still take a week before we find her".

With this said he turned and began to punch in the numbers in his cell phone ignoring everyone as he walked away from the group to talk to Aro.

While he was gone we deliberated how we would handle this new turn of events. If Caius wanted to do this it was his prerogative but nothing could stop us to look for Bella on our own. We all agreed that Riley, Edward and I we should go to anchorage airport and investigate this. Edward could read and I could manipulate their minds. Once we knew where to look Riley could help track her.

As we were talking I had heard Caius's voice become louder and now I heard him yell "What the hell is he worth if he can't help me when I need him; he is bloody useless". With this said he hung up and crushed his telephone in his hands smashing it into a thousand pieces.

He then strode towards us saying "Demetri is totally worthless; Aro says he won't be able to track her because her mind is a shield".

Caius looked at us his face a mask of disbelief as he added "Aro says that Demetri is able to follow his targets buy catching the "tenor" or "flavor" of a person's thoughts and that Isabella gift makes it impossible for him to follow her."

"I know you don't want to hear it but Aro is right that's why we have to know where she was taken" Edward spoke. "Once we know we can go after her; although Riley is not as powerful as Demetri he can work on scent and that is something we can use to find Bella. It may take longer but we can and will help all we can".

"Ok" said Caius "but we will take the Volturi jet and I am going with you I wish to follow the progress as much as possible".

That night we arrived at the Anchorage airport and with both Edwards and my gifts we would start our search tomorrow. Caius went to the separated room of the jet and began to play his violin and the music he played was as bewitching as it was beautiful. You could hear the resentment and melancholy in every note and I realized just how attached he had become to Bella in the short time they had been together. Something of Bella must have rubbed off on him and it finally struck me how lonely he was; I felt it come through the walls as he continued to play. As I looked up I saw Edward and knew he read my mind. He nodded his head in agreement and said "she does seem to have that effect; who would believe!"

The next day we went to the head office and asked around for information on the incoming and outgoing flights of the last few days. At first everyone was quite hesitant to give us information but we told them a friend of ours had been sick and had come here by plane. This wasn't really a lie as Bella would never go of her own accord so she had to be drugged or bound. Thanks to Edward's gift we were able to pin-point who we needed to talk to and what we needed to ask. Once we knew who to question I was able to use my gift to get manipulate the people so that we could get some answers. Yet all our effort didn't seem to help as we still had no more information than when we came. We were about to walk out of the office when I saw Edward hesitate and look around the room.

I walked up to him and turned my head giving him a quizzical glance. He whispered "I picked up a picture in someone's mind of a young woman with brown hair being helped into a plane by an unrecognizable person. She was looking in the hangars when she came across a couple. She asked them if they were all right as there had just been a big storm and she was afraid they had been stuck in it. The person helping the woman yelled to her that they were all right and proceeded to help the woman in the plane. After that she thought nothing of it till now".

He looked around and seeing the woman from whom he had picked up this information we walked towards her. We stopped in front of her and Edward asked if she had seen a friend of ours while pulling a picture of Bella out of his wallet. The woman was taken back and asked him who this was and he told her Bella's name, the fact that she had been sick and was brought here about four days ago and probably on a private plane. At first the woman was skeptic but the image in her mind seemed to confirm his words. She then talked to what seemed to be her friend and together they told us to come back the next day.

Early the next morning we came back and found out that she had been able to trace the flight via the radar information all the way to Brazil but after that the plane disappeared of the radar. She gave us the last radar coordinates and we were more than grateful; at least now we had somewhere to start.

We were about to leave when one of the men in the office said that there was a large snow storm on its way and that we had to take off within the hour or they wouldn't give us clearance. We rushed back to the airplane with the coordinates and after controlling the instruments we were able to take off just before the storm hit.

Thanks to the radar information we had somewhere to start. The plane had ducked the radar around Porto Alegre from there we would have to search the area.

Alec's POV

I had her here for almost week now and had built up a schedule. At about six a.m. the day began I would take her from her bed and bring her to the showers. Patience had never been one of my virtues so I usually pulled her along and being blind she would stumble; once we were in the shower area she would undress often too slow for my liking but she quickly learned.

As far as the shower itself was concerned I never used a particular pattern. Sometimes she would shower alone and sometimes I would join her saying that she was to slow. I always I wanted to keep her guessing; I wanted to keep her on the edge. When she was ready I would wrap her in a beautiful exotic dressing gown and she would wrap the belt around and knot it tightly trying to cover as much as possible. At times I would tease her; holding on to the belt so that she had to hold the gown closed with her hands. When she was back in her room I made her lie down on the bed so that I could use the elixir on her eyes. It seemed to be a painful procedure because she would automatically wince when I used it. In the beginning she would fight me but I would bind to her bed with strong chains so that I could apply the mixture. She knew the end result would always be the same and that it was only more unpleasant if she struggled.

Yesterday she didn't fight but today she started again and I had to bind her up and as was the routine I blew a light amount of "Devils Breath" in her face causing her to be docile. After that, I applied the solution to her eyes insuring her blindness for the next 24 hours while she was in her passive state I would stay in her room; reading or catching up on my research.

A couple of hours later Devils breath would wear off and she would be back to her old state of mind. That was the time I liked the most; I would stop my work and go to her. In the beginning she was obstinate, after a couple of days she would pretend not to hear me and now she would just recoil when she heard my footsteps.

"My lovely Isabella" I said and she would go to the furthest end of the bed but to no avail; I would get what I wanted and in her heart she knew this as well.

I lay beside her and my hand caressed her cheek but she pulled back so I grabbed her upper arms and pulled her across the bed; closer to me. Shaking her back and forth like a ragdoll I roared "How dare you refuse me!"

I then bent forward and snaked my fingers in her hair saying "Remember my beautiful mate; If you dare bite me again I will discipline you for it but this time I promise I will make it much worse".

She whimpered, probably remembering the last time she had bit me. That time I had taken it out of her hide. At the end of the day I had gently cleaned her up and enjoyed her body. She was very compliant that night and I enjoyed her gifts as she dared not protest. Since then she tried her best to be obedient although she always tried to avoid my touch.

My tong entered and dominated her mouth.

The kiss was endless and my other hand moved leisurely over her body moving from her waist upward towards her breast. I lightly caressed it gently stroking my thumb across her nipple and after a time my mouth enveloped it. As I nibbled and suckled it my other hand gradually released her hair following her neck and arm to fondle its twin. I felt her slyly pulling back once I released her hair but I would not accept it as I quickly used that hand to hold her face in a vice-like grip hissing "Stay and behave otherwise you will feel my wrath; that I promise"

She immediately stopped her retreat but squirmed under me trying her best to dissuade me but this only encouraged my body to react. I smirked knowing she didn't realize that her movements acted as an aphrodisiac; adding fuel to my flame.

One hand followed the path southwards towards other treasures and I couldn't hold myself in any longer. I pushed her legs apart and planted myself between them as I slowly entered her body. She tried to pull away but I snarled my warning and pinned her into position with both my hands forcing her to comply until I felt her give up her resistance.

I then began to increase my thrusts as my instincts took over and when I climaxed I bit down on her neck enjoying the sweetness of her blood.

"You are such an enjoyable ride my beautiful Isabella" I said as I pulled her into my arms. "You are well worth the money I paid".

She tried to hide her face but I took it in my hand and said "You are mine; accept it. No one will come to claim you; this is your life from now on."

As I said those words I realized for the first time that I was beginning to wish those words were true. I was becoming more and more attracted to her; all of her. The docile and yet endearing Isabella as well as the fiery vixen but I reminded myself that I couldn't let myself be involved. Once we were back in the Volturi coven we would be working side by side and these feelings would destroy me. She had been claimed as Caius mate and that was that.

I just nuzzled up to her enjoying her company for the rest of the afternoon.

Bella's POV

I felt him beside me and I knew this vampire would never let me go. Once I was a vampire I thought I could take care of myself but now I was back to square one. Without my eyesight I was helpless and that was what he wanted.

At least Caius had never taken away that defense. Actually I was starting to appreciate Caius; when we had sex my body was attracted to him by the bond. We had finally made our peace with each other and decided to build on our bond but it had all been swept away by one stupid, innocent action. Caius would never find me in the middle of South America; it would be impossible. I would be stuck here forever!

I dared not move for fear of arousing him up but as always it wouldn't change a thing. Even if I could leave the room where could I go? After all I was blind! I realized we were in the tropics and probably in the middle of nowhere. Even if I were to get away I would be helpless in this area.

He pulled me towards him and I gave up my fight giving in to the hopelessness of my situation. He then kissed my cheek and pulled away from me leaving me alone in my room. I held my breath but as soon as he left the room and I heard the door click I let out a sigh of relief and pulled on my dressing gown and tied it tight. I hated being so defenseless.
