Paradise I Wish! Truly I Do

Paradise Lodge: How Did I Get Like This?

A/N: - References to Sex Slaves and sexual abuse, which doesn't take place (Strong language throughout) Bella talks to herself in this story, just a side effect of the burning, mostly in her own head. It's in bold showing it's a verbal thought.

Welcome to Paradise! Yeah right! More like Hell! It could be wonderful here if I had my way. I can wait, cause time's something I've got plenty of.

Paradise Lodge

You know that feeling, the one that tells you this is not normal? Even when you don't know what normal is, you know this just ain't it! Well, that's how she feels as she comes too, she has not a clue what is going on or where she was, hell she didn't even know what year it was far less what day.

'Dear God almighty, what the hell is happening? I'm on fire, Why won't someone help me? Is it too much to ask, just a little assistance for the girl on fire, namely me? Me! Who am I? What in blue blazes happened to me? Think, damn it! I'm... Shit!, I don't know, why don't I remember anything?

This can't be happening to me, well obviously it is, but why? Okay, what do I know? I'm a girl, how do I know that? How the hell would I know, all I really know for sure is that it's god damned hot in here. Okay, concentrate, so yeah I'm a girl who's on fire and it's starting to really piss me off!

Wow, is that my heart, It's gonna blow! Wait, I can feel my fingers and toes, they seem to be alright, I can wiggle them and no fire there, it seems to be all in my chest now, fine I can handle that, I think, legs and arms are back to normal as well.'

Bella was so busy talking to herself and trying to control the excruciating and out of control fire, that she almost missed a voice close to her saying,

"Soon, my new and may I say stunning, sex slave, soon it will all be over and you will be all mine!"

'You what now? Sex Slave, I don't think so buddy! I might not know who I am but I know I'm nobody's whore!'

He just keeps right on talking, so she tried to settle down as best as she could and listen real closely,

"Your step-papa sure was not lying, you are quite a looker! I like brunettes, nice slim brunettes",

'Brunette? Okay, I can work with that, feels long too, nice. Did he say slim? Hope he didn't mean skinny! I don't want to be skinny!'

He was stroking her upper thigh as he said this, his heavy French accent was doing nothing for her, well apart from making Bella feel sick to her stomach and she can't contain the shudder of revulsion she felt running through her.

"So when you wake up my little slut, you will do everything I say! You will be a little bit wild to start with, what with the bloodlust and everything, but I have gotten you a nice human to drink, so that will help! Fuck, I cannot wait to have your sexy slim body, I am going to fuck every orifice and you will take it because I own you now 'Ma petite salope' "

He continues on in what she was sure he thinks is a sexy growl, but his voice is so whiny and high pitched, damn, it sounds more like a dog with its nuts caught in a blender and Bella was absolutely raging mad now,

' Who the hell did he think he was? Owns me! Nobody owns me but me!'

She fumed internally for a few minutes, then it dawns on her,

'Wait a cotton pickin' moment! What did he mean bloodlust? A human to eat, shit no way!

She tried to relax again and listen to the sounds all around her, hearing another heartbeat off to her right-hand side, but it is slow compared to her own, as if it were asleep or unconscious, that was probably it, he would have knocked whoever it was out.
