The Mission

Nineteen

I laid in bed. I needed a few minutes to myself. Things will work itself out? I asked for the second time. I don't want to be locked up in a room. There has to be a way around it. I curled up in bed trying not to think about it. It's going to be okay. I hope so anyway.

I curled on my side and pulled the blankets over me. I closed my eyes taking a few deep breaths. I knew I would have to go down there eventually. And my guess, the last moments at my house would probably the last time I will ever have space to myself.

I gripped onto my teddy bear and took some more deep breaths. Eventually I calmed down and I just laid in bed trying to sleep.

Jane and I were on the plane, she touched my hair. "I can't wait for you to meet everyone," she said looking down at me. I looked down nervously "You're mine," she said touching my chin having me look up at her. "You are mine," she said again. She gripped onto a chain. A chain? I looked down at the chain confused on where it came from. I noticed the chain led to me. I moved my hand up to my neck. The chain was attached to something. A collar. I gripped onto the collar trying to pull it. 

"No, my precious, it stays on," she said gripping onto my hand, pulling it away from the collar. 

"No," I said trying to rip my hand away from hers. 

"Oh, behave love," she said not letting go of my hand. 

I pulled my hand away forcefully.

"Don't be difficult my dear," she sighed. 

I brought my hand back up to my neck pulling at the collar that was secure around my neck. "Jane, what is going on?" I asked looking up at her, continuing to pull. "Get this thing off me," I glared. 

"It's staying on, there's no point in fighting me," she said. 

"Jane, what is going on?" I said again tearing at the collar this time. 

"My pet, stop," she sighed gripping onto my hand. 

"Pet?" I asked her, fear and anger showed on my face. "No, you said that wasn't going to happen, you said I was your equal," I said. 

"I did what I had to do. There is no way Aro would let you be with me freely, did you?"

I shook my head. "Jane!" I yelled.

"Stop it," she sighed. 

"No, you told me I was your equal and this would not happen to me. You told me that I was your equal," I said again. 

"And I lied," she said simply.

That hurt. 

That really hurt.

"Don't say that. I don't care if you lock me in a room all day. I just want to be with you," 

"And this is the only way possible," she said touching my hair. 

"No, it's not!" I yelled at her. 

"Don't raise your voice at me missy," she said. "Consequences will happen," she said. 

"What, you will punish me?" I looked at her. 

"Yes, simple as that," she said smiling down at me. She touched my cheek. 

I grabbed her wrist forcing her hand away from me. 

"Izzy, will you stop being difficult," she said, her face turning into a frown. "I really don't want to have to hurt you," she said.
