Hmmmmmmm yeah....well....let's see :)
End of Chapter 10
***Edward's POV***
I sighed loudly as I closed my eyes and focused on my family and Bella, wondering what they were doing at that moment. I knew that someone had to be following us, I knew that my family would not just sit by as someone took me away. I focused on the many things I could do to let them know where we were or where we were going. I knew that no one would just hand me their cell phone and let me call my family, so I would have to figure out sneaky ways to 'leave' clues.
I was lost in my thoughts about clues until in the middle I saw Bella's face. her brown eyes pleading with me. I knew that by now she knew what was going on and she had to be frightened...I needed to keep that in my thoughts, use her as my encouragement to continue on and find a way back.
"We're here." Someone said as I was smacked across the head.
I opened my eyes to see a dreary, cloudy day outside the windows. It was impossible to figure out where I was by the weather..so I realized I would have to get off the plane. I sighed as I stood up and followed a few people off the plane. I was almost to the bottom when I felt someone smash into my back, knocking me to the ground before I could brace myself...if I could have 'heard' them I would have braced myself of fought back...but since I couldn't I was face down on the tarmac with someone on my back. I went to fight back and was instantly blinded when something slipped over my head, blocking out any light. I went to fight back when I felt three more people pile on who were much stronger then I was.
Chapter 13
**Edward's POV**
I know that the blows were not hurting me, but none the less...when you have about six guys beating on you it's not enjoyable. They beat me and kicked me until I curled into a ball, my entire body tucked in as tight as it could be...knowing they would have to stop eventually. I tried to listen to their thoughts to find some ounce of helpful information..but I couldn't focus long enough to hear them because of the beating. The all laughed as they enjoyed the beating, a few of them commenting on 'ruining my perfect face', and that just caused them to aim more on my face.
Since I could hear nothing, I focused on Bella. On the short time that I had with her after I got her back...and before I was taken. The way that she looked at me, like there was something good deep down that I didn't know about. She made me feel alive...something that I hadn't felt in forever. I kept thinking about the way she felt in my arms, her smell, the way her heart felt when beat against my hand, her deep brown eyes that I could get lost in, the complete silence of being around her...the fact that it was the first time in my life that I had quiet.
"Enough, this is not how we treat our most important guests." A voice called, a voice I had herd before.
Everyone stopped kicking and punching me instantly, everyone knowing that this was not a voice to test...however, someone kicked me one more time. The kick landing directly in my lungs which caused me to gasp, to stop breathing completely for a few minutes.
"I said STOP!!" The voice called, the words coming out as a growl.
I looked up to see the face of my attacker. His eyes were wide in horror as he realized that he was most likely going to pay with his life for his indiscretion. His thoughts were suddenly screaming in my mind, full of fear and hate towards me. He knew that he should have listened to the order...but he wanted nothing more then to hurt me, the 'perfect Cullen.' I tried not to laugh, but failed miserably when he looked down at me. He was newly turned..I would guess within the last ten years, but in that time he had heard of my family...and for what I could find out he was jealous of us. I was about to look further, to find out what he hated me, and my family..but in that exact moment all of his thoughts went blank.
I looked up to see someone put their hands on either side of his face and turn quickly. I was absolutely horrified to see his head come completely off of his shoulders, the sound a sickening sound like a melon being split in half.
I noticed that all of the other attackers had moved back, revealing faces I never thought I would see in Germany. Aro's gray head turned and grinned at me his thoughts only about how pleased he was to see me. He reached out his sickeningly old hand so that he could read my every though..well the thoughts and things that had changed since I saw him last.
I hesitantly reached out, my hand meeting his. I gasped slightly as I saw my memories flash through is mind. He stood completely still for a few minutes as he saw every personal moment between my family and I...and more importantly every moment Bella and I had had.
"We knew you were coming." Aro finally said as he pulled his hand back and rubbed it as if he had been burnt.
"What?"
"You thought your Alice was the only one who could see what will...or could be?" He asked as he grinned. "We have found our own..and Oh Edward..if you knew what he has seen."
I was instantly horrified...I knew how Alice's ability had benefited our family. I was instantly thrown into a memory...a memory of Carlisle telling us how dangerous the Voltouri was..and how unstoppable they would be if they had Alice.
