Kidnapped by my idol.

Isabelle's P.O.V.

Outside of the shopping center it was raining badly. We dashed back over to the bus but by the time we got there everything was drenched, including our new clothes.

----------------
Jace's P.O.V.

Once we were back on the bus, I saw that everyone was wet through. We quickly put the food away where it was supposed to be and left the rest with the girls. All the clothes they bought had gotten wet too so they were put straight into the dryer.
Despite what Rick had joked about earlier, we picked out clothes for the girls to wear whilst their things dried.
Isabelle was the last one to change and I put her clothes in the dryer too before turning it on.
"I don't know about you guys but I want to watch a movie,"
"I want to go have a nap" Rick responded, as he headed off to his room,
"Me too" Jess said as she followed close behind him,
"Well I already agreed to help Callum with something he's been working on" Ryan explained as they headed towards his room. It seemed like a poor excuse but I could question them about it later.
"So I guess it's just us two?" I asked Isabelle, as I looked over at her.
It was only then I realised how true it was what Rick had said before. Seeing Isabelle stood there in a pair of my pyjama shorts and my favourite t-shirt, that was too big for her, made a strange feeling apear in my stomach.
I forced myself to ignore this feeling as she spoke.
"I'd love to watch a film, do you have any romantic ones?"
"Actually yes, bottom drawer under the tv,"
She crouched down, looking through the ones we had. I tried to look away from her as the strange feeling returned.
"Is this ok?" She asked nervously, holding up the version of pride and prejudice with Keira Knightly in.
"Sure, I actually do like watching that"
"Really? I was expecting you to hate it." She replied, more timidly than she had ever been around me.
"I really do like watching romance movies, I can be a bit of a romantic when I want to be. But I'm not too fussy when it comes to films."
She seemed relieved by my words and quickly put the dvd in and sat beside me on the sofa.
We sat in comfortable silence as the film played, it was only once Mr Darcey appeared across the field that Isabelle turned to me.
"Jace? Have you ever been in love?" I could sense her fear, as though she expected me to shout at her for asking.
"I don't think so, I know now that the woman who turned me into a vampire, had used her powers to capture my feelings, but it was never real. Have you Isabelle?"
This time instead of fear, I could see that she was upset as she spoke.
"I thought I was,"
"The guy from your memories?"
"Yes, he was so charming that I fell for him, only to find out that he'd been cheating the entire time we were together. I'm just glad that we never did anything intimate. In fact I can't even remember kissing him." she almost laughed at the last part.
"It was actually your band that helped me get through it. I know that sounds cliché but it's true"
"Isabelle, what that guy did was inexcusable. He should not have hurt you. You didn't deserve any of it"
"Thank you Jace" she said smiling.
"My full name is Johnathan, I just wanted to let you know,"
"Johnathan?" she whispered, as though she was trying it out. "I think I like it"
"Isabelle?"
"Yes?"
"I'm glad I met you."
"Me too," She replied before wrapping her arms around me in a hug, we watched a few more movies with her snuggled into my side. Warmth radiated from her and I could feel her heart racing. I found myself leaning down to put my head on her shoulder, I could feel my teeth release into fangs.
She didn't move away, in fact she seemed to tilt her head so that I would have better access. Luckily I still had some self control. I quickly pulled myself away from her and stood up.
"I think we both need to get something to eat," I said trying to hide my teeth behind my hand as I spoke.
"What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?" She asked, clearly worried that she'd upset me.
"I just haven't eaten today, I don't want to hurt you and I..." I paused, considering how not to scare her.
"I nearly lost control,"

--------------

Isabelle's P.O.V.

"I nearly lost control," he said, fear clear in his eyes.
"I'm so sorry, Jace, I didn't realise" I quickly apologised. When he leaned down towards my neck, I felt a jolt of electricity go through me. I couldn't do anything besides lean in to him so I was thankful that he knew how to stop himself.
"It's fine Isabelle, just know that I won't hurt you, not as long as I am myself." He said lightly smiling down at me "anyway, as I said, time to eat."
We headed into the kitchen, to see that Ryan was already there cooking, and Callum was sat at the table waiting.
"Hey guys," Jace and I said in unison.
"Hey bro, Hey Isabelle, I hope you're ok with spaghetti and tomatoe sauce" Ryan stated.
"Sure, as long as it's food, I don't mind." I replied giggling.
I chatted to Callum whilst Ryan cooked and Jace disappeared for a few minutes. Before long, the others came to join us and Jace returned not long after with their manager John behind him.
The guys left us with our food as they headed to the back room. Once I heard the door lock behind them John came back over to us.
"There's something you two should see."
He led us over to the room next to the one the guys went into.
"It's a one way mirror, they can't see us" He explained as we all walked in.
Inside was a practically empty room with a big glass window inside. The only other things in the room were weapons.
"Those are silver tipped blades, guns with silver bullets and a tranquiliser gun. It's a precaution in case one of them ever forgets to eat enough."
The thought made me shiver and suddenly I remembered my necklace, I made a mental note to take it off later.
"Now, watch," John said, indicating towards the glass.
We all watched as Jace walked over to a cabinet on one side of the room.
Do they know that we're here watching? I thought, would they hate this?
*Don't worry Isabelle, I asked John to show you both, the guys all agreed to it too.*
But why?
*We want you to see what we're really like, before anything else happens, so that if either of you can't stand what you see, you can leave without anyone getting too attached*
Jace handed each of the guys a pack of what I assume was blood, before turning to glance in my direction.
*If you hate me after this, I'm sorry*
John left the room and waited outside for us. Not long after this, Callum slowly opened the pack he'd been given.
Within seconds all four of them no longer looked human. They'd turned extremely pale, their eyes had changed to unnatural colours. Right then, they looked more like animals. They began ripping open bags from the middle where Jace had left them. It was a stomach turning sight but neither of us walked away.
Jessica reached over and grabbed my hand, I took it gladly but my eyes never left the guys.
The two of us stood there united in our determination not to leave.
"Do you think they hate themselves for what they become?" Jess asked in a hushed tone.
"I think so" I replied, remembering Jace's memory.
"But that's what we need to change, right?" Jess chimed in. "but how do we do that?"
"If I'm right, just the fact that we didn't run off will help" I stated.
"Why would we run off they're still our idols, they won't hurt us, we're just closer now" Jess smiled
and I couldn't help but giggle despite the scene still unfolding before us, "Agreed!"

Once all the packs were empty, the guys managed to calm down a little.
It was then that John returned.
"We can't let them out just yet," he said, they're still in vampire mode. So you girls should go and try to finish your food before it gets cold."
We left John to deal with them as he was a lot more experienced than we were.
When we got back to the kitchen our food had cooled down a little but was still warm.
We tried to eat but I only managed half, and it seems I wasn't the only one as each of our plates looked the same.
Jess - "I don't really feel like eating much right now"
Me - "Yeah, I don't have an appetite either, we need to dispose of this though before they get back and think something is wrong"
Jess- "Good idea"
We emptied our leftover food into the bin and washed our plates. By the time the guys came back we were sat giggling together over our memories of high school.
It was then I noticed that Jace wasn't with the others.
"He's in his room Isabelle, please can you try and talk to him." Rick pleaded. "Sometimes he gets like this after feeding and we don't want him to go down a bad path if you know what I mean" I just nodded, I knew what he meant, I'd dealt with it so many times myself and with friends, that I was sadly used to it.
I walked towards his room, knocking on the door, when there was no answer I called out, "Jace, I'm coming in"
Inside his room was pitch black so I stumbled over to put a bed side lamp on. With the light now on I saw Jace crouched in the corner of the room, hiding his face.
"You shouldn't be in here Isabelle, I could hurt you" He said, his voice sounded strained as though he'd been crying.
"It's ok Jace," I spoke calmly, "I'm not afraid of you"
Seconds later, Jace had managed to get directly in front of me with his face directly in front of mine.
"Why not? I could kill you right now if I wanted" He practically spat the words.
"But I know you won't Jace, you protected me from yourself earlier so I know you won't do anything on purpose."
For a moment he was still but he suddenly started shaking, he started crying.
I managed to get him to sit down on the bed.
"Read my mind" I said with more confidence that I thought I could.
"What?"
"Read my mind, then you'll know what I think as that way I can't lie.
