Waking up the next morning was terrible. I had two pulsing bitemarks on my arms and I was cold. So incredibly cold. What happened again? Right... Jane and Alec fed of me and I... liked it? "Morning, did you sleep well?" "Is your body sore?" "Do you have a headache?" Two worried people fill my senses as I look between them with a small smile. I do indeed have a headache but that isn't going to stop me. It never has and it never will. "I'm fine." I said without thinking it trough. Their eyes widen as they realize that I just spoke to them and a small blush covers my cheeks. "You know that you voice is beautiful?" Jane's bell like voice says to me. I shake my head and hide my face in my blood covered arms."Let's get you cleaned up, shall we? Let us take care of you, okay?" I wanted to shake my head and deny them but I knew that would only make them more determent to help me. So, I let it happen. Jane gave me a bath while Alec got things to take care of the wounds.
When Alec returned, Jane was just finishing braiding my damp hair. She was fully dressed while I was still in a bra and my way too short shorts. Something they both seemed to ignore. The sweet boy brought me something to eat and I happily digged in while he worked on my arms. Once the two of them were done they had to leave since they were on guard duty once again. I was used to it though. Them leaving even though I really wanted them to stay with me, to hold them against me and maybe melt their hearts a little bit. I know that was farfetched but a girl can dream, right?
Once I looked at my clock I jumped up in shock. 11:50 it said. That meant 1, I slept way to long, and 2, Edward was about to do something stupid.
I got dressed in a plain black dress and threw on my cloak before heading out to the throne room. The twins looked slightly surprised to see me here since I wasn't summoned. I made my way over to my father's throne and sat down on my usual spot, the armrest, once again.
"Ella, dear, why are you here?" I didn't answer uncle Caius but instead waited for Aro to send Jane to fetch the couple. "Felix, Demetri. It's time. You know what to do." The two males nodded and left the room. All to soon did the impatient side of my uncle show as he sends Jane after the male guards. They were only gone for a little bit though...
After a couple of minutes, the doors are opened and Jane enters with the couple and a female I don't recognize. I know it has to be Alice but she doesn't resemble her movie counterpart at all... "Ah, Bella is alive after all!" Aro gets up and does his dramatic speech. I simply watch him play around with Bella and Edward. At least until he starts messing with Bella's gift.
Jane gets ready to use her gift on the brunette but without saying a word I attract the attention of everyone in the room. How? Simple, reopen one of the small wounds that I made yesterday. "Ella! What do you think you're doing?" My father gets up and grabs my now bleeding hand. Jane rushes over to me with a small cloth and wraps it around my finger. 'Listen to me Edward, I need you to trust me here. Don't panic and let Jane do her thing, okay? Bella won't get hurt. I swear.' Edward gave me the smallest of nods while I glanced at him from the corner or my eye and I turned to him with a smile, holding up my now bandaged hand.
Jane retakes her place at Alec's side and the conversation continuous the way it's supposed to, the only change is that Edward doesn't jump between Bella and Jane. Everything is going well until Caius questions what to do with Bella. Edward turns on his defensive mechanism and the moment they even think about killing Bella he rushes in to protect her.
It sucks that I am this slow and I can't help them but I have one last thrum card on my sleeve. My father.
I turn to him and look him deep in his eyes and swallow the lump that has formed in my throat. "Father..." Nobody moves as they focus on my voice. "Don't kill them. They are important to me." I turn to Aro. "Please uncle..." Aro doesn't respond to me but gives a wave of his hand that results in the Cullens being released.
My father grabs my hand and kisses the knuckles. "My dear, why do you have such a strong bond with them? You only met Edward once before this." I couldn't be truthful to my own father and I was ashamed I had to lie. 'Help me... please! Don't make me lie to my father.' "We care about each other. It is like we have strong ties that were made the moment we met." At these words seven people showed their fangs and hissed at the poor Cullen. "But Edward..." Before Bella can even start her sentence, her mouth gets covered by Alice.
My father chuckles darkly. "Well then... prove it. Why don't you taste her?" I groan softly and start unwrapping the bandaged hand. I know that he is implying that Alec and Jane like the taste of my blood but I'm uncertain what he is trying to prove here. "I won't be able to stop once I start." "Don't worry about that. I'll just put you in so much pain that you will stop." Jane's voice was soaked in venom as she spoke to Edward.
The Cullen didn't move as I walked over to him. 'It's going to be bitter and tough to swallow. Don't say I didn't warn you.' He looked at me like I was insane but took my still bleeding hand and licked the blood. His eyes widen at the taste and I could see that it was tough for him to swallow. I bit the inside of my cheek, which doesn't go unnoticed by the twins. Thankfully they didn't interrupt. Jane rushed over to me and rewrapped my hand, stopping Edward from tasting anymore.
"Well? What did it taste like?" Edward stares deeply in my eyes. "It was... bitter yet sweet at the same time?" "Is that a question or a statement?" As I make my way back, Uncle Caius signals me close to him and makes me sit on his lap. I do so without resisting him, making Aro growl softly in jealousy. "I am just as confused as you are. Her scent is so misleading from the actual taste." Caius leans back in his throne and pulls me closer against his chest. "She is misleading in every way, isn't she? A cute little thing..." He grabs my chin and makes me meet his bright red eyes. "With so many dark secrets to keep." I glare into his eyes, not afraid of what he might do but more so of what he might say.
"That's enough, brother." Daddy to the rescue! Caius releases my chin and lets me go. I stumble off his lap and make my way over to my father who grabs my arm roughly, making me wince. "We'll talk later." I nod quickly and he pushes me to Edward. "See your friends out and meet me in your room afterwards." I nod once again and take the twins their hands, making them join me. The Cullens and Bella follow behind us. 'Edward, listen carefully to me. In the near future there will be a time you'll need friends. When that time comes text the number I gave you last night. I'll be on your side no matter what my friends and family might do.' A soft cough came from behind me, telling me that Edward got my message.
I know things will work out in the end. I just hope I can make the ride to the 'happy ending' a bit smoother.
