Not an easy love : Chapter 7

''You see, it doesn't work! ''

Alec and I were in the training room. He was trying to make me use my power again, but it has been an hour and I still haven't been able to move anything. I was losing patience.

''Take a deep breath, and look. What if we say that, since you are able to throw a person miles away, you can possibly move an object? It's probably the same power.''

''You think so?'' I thought he will say I'll have a break, but things doesn't work like that in the Volturi. No breaks until you succeed.

''It's worth taking a shot. Wait here. ''

He disappeared from the training room and came back with a pen. I arched an eyebrow.

''A pen? Really?''

''That's all I could find.'' He replied.

''Alright then, let's do this. ''

Alec put the pen on the floor, a few feet in front of me. He stepped back and crossed his arms over his chest.

''We are going to do this differently. You've been able of using this power one time when you were unconscious, but the other one was when you were furious. Anger may be a good start.''

He was right. I tried to make myself angry, but it was hard to command your emotions so easily, when you weren't feeling it. I tried, but the pen wasn't moving at all.

''I can't get angry on command.'' I sighed. I wanted really to be able to command this new found power. So much. If it could be helpful in this war against these hybrids, I want it to work. Maybe it could save life, like my family's one, or Alec's. But, so far, my progress was way negative.

''I'll help. Think of your kidnappers. Don't you want revenge on them?''

I nodded. Of course, I wanted to. After everything they did to me.

''Good. Then think about how they let you starved, alone, cold in a basement. How they hit you. Think about what you'll want to do to them. Killed them, but not killed rapidly, tortured them. Tearing apart each limb of their bodies, hearing their pleading and smiling at it...''

Alec didn't seem to be there anymore. His eyes were not focused on the room, but deeply away. He was smiling, in his own thoughts.

I always knew that Alec wasn't an angel. He liked to kill anyone who hurt him, or the one he cared about. He could be violent. I knew this the moment I met him. But it was a part of his personality that I still loved.

''Well, I'm not sure I will really do that.''

My voice seemed to get him back in the room. He looked up at me, a look at the same time serious and pained.

''Well, that's what I wanna do to them. Each one of them.''

I already knew that. Alec had a hard past. He didn't trust easily, neither love. But when he does, he is very protective of what it his. His home, his sister, and now me. He was reluctant at first about our relationship. He didn't wanna get engage because he didn't wanna get hurt. And my kidnapping hurt him. And now, he wanted revenge.

''I know.''

I approached him and put my arms around his neck. His red eyes were emotional so I give him a quick peck on his lips. I smiled at him, he smiled back but it wasn't a full smile of joy. It was still bothering him. I didn't think it would go away until all of this was over.

''How it's going in there?''

Felix entered the room and, of course, what he saw wasn't us training but us hugging. His looked was faintly disappointed.

''Well, I think you are distracting her more than you are training her. I should give it a try. Go, Aro wants to see you anyway.''

Alec looked at me one last time, squeezed my hand and left the room. Felix smirked at me.

''Alright, at our turn.''

Felix decided to go with the same idea of Alec : anger. I tried to remind what he told me. What these people could do to me, to my family, to Alec. What if they killed them? I tried to remind that on my mind while I was focusing on the pen. I was seeing red, I could practically feel blood in my mouth while I was focusing on my anger and trying to move the pen.

I didn't know how long we stayed in the training room, but I was slowly starting to feel dizzy. I was beyond tired. Ans yet, nothing happened.

Breaking my fixation on the pen, I looked at Felix who was leaned against the wall, a frown on his face.

''It doesn't seem to work.'' Was the only thing he said.

''You think? My head is pounding and right now the room is moving around me!''

''Are you alright? Are you gonna faint?''

''No, I'm not alright!''

''We are going to stop for today. I think you should rest. Do you think you can go back to Alec's room by yourself?''

I nodded. I didn't want an escort, it just seemed humiliating.

''Yeah, if something happened, I'll scream!''

I went back to the room without any physical problem, but I sure found myself in the complete direction at a couple of times. It wasn't easy when you weren't habituated with the castle. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I fell asleep.

The screams and the sound of footsteps running in the hallway wake me up. I couldn't tell what hour it was, but since there's wasn't any light in the room, it must be in the middle of the night. I rapidly stand up and put some clothes on. The screams were said too fast for my hear to understand what they were saying, but I was certain it wasn't a party. It was something bad. At the same moment I opened the door, Alec showed up in front of me.

''You have to come with me, now!''

His voice was stressed and he took my hand, pulling me in the crowd hallway. A lot of people, all wearing the Volturi black coat, were running in the same direction.

''What happened?''

''One of the creature tried to enter one of our secret passage. Only a few guards know where they are. We don't know how. Hopefully, he was caught by Santiago and Demetri. Aro is now trying to talk to them.

I didn't know which emotion was the most dominating in my body, but fear and relief were there. I wondered what he was trying to do. Was he alone? Was there others in the castle right now that the guards didn't notice? Were there here for me?

Soon enough, we were outside a blinding room. Only Aro, Marcus and Caius were there, the others guards were all waiting outside, like us. I could see Caius who was beyond ferious, Marcus who was calm but concerned but I couldn't see Aro's face, since his back to me and, by the same time, blocking my view on the hybrid. But as soon as Aro moved just a little to the right, I could see the man. It was him. The one that stayed with me the entire time. That let me starved. I froze. He saw me, smirked at me, and I was sure I was about to faint.
