? POV
Here she is. I finally found her! I knew that something was wrong with her, but now I am sure. She is not normal. She is not even nearly like anyone I have ever met. She is something special. And I want to know why. I brush her delicate skin, gentle merely touching her. Oh...how I want to bite her. Or taste her. She would feel so wonderful against me. I can feel her stiffen underneath my hands. "Don't worry, Bella. I will take good care of you."I let my tongue play with her sweet chin and slide slowly down to her throat. I can feel her pulse under my tongue. "The pain will go away soon, I promise." How sweet... now her pulse feels like a bird, that is trying to escape a cage. How easy it would be to just break this vulnerable bird…I let her feel my fangs and scratch lightly over her skin. I can smell her fear and I like it. It's such an exotic mix in combination with the sweet scent of her blood. It would just take one second to-
"Oh come on show some self-control. She is not your plaything." She is mocking me. I growl, but release the girl nearly immediately. Don't want to have problems with this particular woman. She is crazy and unpredictable. Not a good combination. She is really nobody you want to meet in a bad mood. I shudder at the thought. "She is my plaything", she says and the evil smile is oblivious in her voice. Ohh… poor girl! It would have been so much better for her if I had taken care of her, now she has a one-way ticket into hell and nobody is going to save her. I stand up and leave the room, but not without looking back before closing the door behind me. And what I see makes me gape in awe, the girl is actually arguing with her! That's a brave one. It's really a waste that she is not going to endure it long enough, to tell anybody about this. I hear a muffled scream, as I turn around and go out of the house.
Marcus POV
We are actually standing in front of our guards, who look at us expectant. "Demetri, Alec, take your people. You are going hunting", Aro orders the two guards. "Yes, master, when should we leave?" "Right away." Without another word spoken the two guards and their people turn around and go out of the room. "So the rest is going to do the same, except for Felix, Santiago and their guys." Everyone leaves immediately except for Felix, Santiago and their team. They are slowly gathering their stuff and go back to their work. Aro, Caius and I are going out of the room and into our own chamber. We need to pack, so that we are prepared for a longer trip. If needed we will even go to Africa, to save our Bella from that woman.
So she actually thought she can just come in here and take our Bella from us? I can't wait to see her face, when she finds out, what it means to play us. I think with an evil smirk attached to my lips.
If she doesn't understand the rules, she will just have to learn it the hard way. And I am not going to be a very patient teacher…
