Hope you enjoy the read, Finally made it to Chapter 10!
Bella POV
(In the hallway)
Didyme and I were facing each other in the dark space we always met, but this time the darkness seemed to be less consuming. It felt like there was ice water pumping through my veins as I looked into the dark orbs in front of me, and I most certainly knew that I was at the mercy of the outside world while here. Now that I knew who this was I needed to get answers.
"Why am I here." I asked bolder than I anticipated.
I've been waiting for you.
The words were mouthed on her lips, but it didn't sound like anything came out, it was as if her words were just my thoughts.
You are the only one who can set me free from where I am.
"Where are you, Marcus said that you died thousands of years ago."
I did but I also didn't. My body has been stolen from me and my mind has disconnected from it, so I created this space. Waiting for someone who can see to be born or for the ability to be triggered so that I can connect myself to them. Your energy shines brighter and is stronger than those who can't see which makes you best to transfer energy, but the other's haven't managed to complete the task.
"Others?"
Didyme stepped to my side and pointed to my right. To my horror I saw a sea of people in my line of vision looking at nothing, but judging by how they looked...these people were dead. They all varied in age, race, and gender but what bothered me the most was that their lives had been wasted. There was someone's relative they'd never see again, or someone's reason or source of comfort in life. I could have gone to school with one of them or a descendant of theirs, I could have passed them in a crowded bus station or a street, but here they were. Projected before me to prove that their lives were taken to feed the ghost standing by me.
You can see what makes us truly living which can't be taken away fully even as vampires. I am trapped in the deepest part of my mind, while my body is hidden away somewhere. Vampires are frozen in time, neither dead or alive, but humans have more freedom, you move with time like a leaf afloat on a river.
"I don't want to be a part of this! You slaughtered all those people, and for what? So that you can be reunited with your body? If you have enough power to project yourself to me and hundred of people, why can't you just wake up from wherever the hell you are and just leave!" I screamed.
Silence hung in the air, and then Didyme was right in my face with a hand around my throat.
"Bella, this is Marcus. You're standing in the castle right now and you were with Felix, Demitri, and Santiago. Follow the sound of my voice and walk away from her, she can't hurt you there and she won't follow you back here." I heard Marcus say.
Didyme was suddenly thrown away from and as she ran back to me, an invisible barrier kept us apart, and the familiar thudding I heard days before sounded along with the voice of Marcus. I closed my eyes and listened to every syllable and word that sounded, and became more aware of the the feelings in and around my body. My heart was beating loudly in my ears, my breathing was fast and frantic, I could feel my body was standing but rigid, and cold hands were on my face. My eyes started to see past the darkness in Didyme's world to the darkness behind my eye lids.
I opened my eyes and saw the same kind face that always brought warmth with his gaze. I saw the trio of guards I was with along with the other kings, all of them encased in their orange clouds. Looking at my own I saw that instead of the vibrant cobalt blue I had, it was now a murky blue that resembled the deep sea. Didyme's darkness had touched my light, and I was not undoubtedly connected to her. The reality of this situation and task I had to complete started to set in, and I couldn't focus on anything. I could hear people talking but not the words they were saying, my body seemed to only move with the person standing by me, and started to eat something I didn't remember getting. Every seemed to go by in a blur as the day progressed, but I knew I responded when I needed to.
I was eating at some point and felt much better and even more aware, but all I wanted to do was sleep. Maybe I wasn't really here and I was dreaming this entire time and for a moment I could understand Didyme in needing to disconnect from the hell of life. Didyme now had not just my life but also my purpose in her hands, and to say this was fucked up would be an understatement. Everything started to blur again, and I started to just float.
At some point I saw Aro sitting across from and me at some point and could see that he said something to me, but I didn't hear. I opened mt mouth to ask him to repeat himself, but the only thing that came out was a cry. I cried for my life, I cried for all those people, I cried for the uncertainty that was still looming over me. The reality of my life was that I was never in control of it, and I realized that I really was going to die here.
A hand rested on the small of my back and I started to feel somewhat comforted by Marcus. Time and time again he was always there to rescue me or to comfort me, and in the short amount of time we knew each other he managed to fill my void. I think that from the beginning I knew that we were meant to be something more since he saved me from Caius, given that I was part of a broken law.
Marcus was my anchor and the person who managed to always ground me since being here, and I loved him. I loved how transparent he was with me and I loved how patient and caring he was with me. But now I had less time with him, and he would continue to live on. Maybe I was just meant to open his eyes back up to the life around him, and to help him out of his depression. I loved him but I felt that I had to let him go before I could even hang on.
Maybe oblivion would be merciful on me.
Next chapter I'll bring the Cullens in and start the trial, just wanted to show what had Bella all worked up.
Thanks for joining the ride, we made it to chapter 10!
