"Oh my what a happy coincidence!!" He cheers looking back at Alec as I slip my hand out of his and step back in front of Ness. " it seems our dear Alec has found his mate." Aro turns and smiles at me but it drops when he see my deep frown." Master t...

Darkness. That's what stared back at me as the dust cleared away from the fallen door. Not a signal source of light flickered in the abyss. Chills raced up and down my body as a sickening feeling grasped onto my body. Something wasn't right. I could feel the familiar numbness radiating up my finger tips a way of my instincts telling me to run. But the only way to run was forward deeper into the danger. " Fuck this..." I grumbled taking a steady step forward before following it with another. It felt as if I was robotic the gears in my knees and legs moving together while my upper body was a tense ball of wires. The ground under my feet shifted from a cobblestone feel to a gravel texture. ' What in the world...' As I look down to investigate the slight change, up ahead a sharp scream echoes through the ongoing darkness. Shooting up from my squatted position I shift into a defense stance. I hold my breath as I wait for something to jump out and attack. My arms are raised in front of me and I feel rocks around me start to levitate. " ANASTASIA!!" My mind goes blank and the muscles in my jaw lax as it falls open. " ANASTASIA WHERE ARE YOU !!" No. Not him. He wasn't suppose to be here. My body shoots forward diving head first into the dark abyss. " ALEC?!?" My mouth opens against my better judgment as I scream out for my mate. " ANASTASIA!!!" On my right. Turning sharply on my feet I dart to my right frantically grasping through the darkness. " ALEC!!" Panic seizes my heart as silence bathes the area. " No...no..." Tears of frustration and fear gather in my eyes as I continue to frantically search through the unknown darkness. "Alec!!" My voice is broken and watery but I continue to trip over myself. " Anastasia..." a soft glow lights from behind the crackling of fire a background noise over my screaming panic. Turning slowly I glare harshly at the smirking girl that stood beside a group of other vampires. Opening her mouth she looks me straight in the eye-" I love you Annie."- My mates voice floods my ears but it's not him. It was never him. " You bitch..." I hiss tired of all the games. Raising my hands I'm faster then the unknown girl's attack squad as I clench my first shut and watch with a smug smirk as two of them scream out in pain before bursting into ashes. A body slams into me sending me flying into the walls of wherever we are. Standing up quickly I catch the fists that was aimed to my jaw and twist it around their back. A Satisfying snap makes me smile before kicking the scream body away. I continue to battle away body after body not truly begin able to see my opponents. As I raise my fist about to ram it into somebody's face a overwhelming pain shocks through my brain. Stumbling back I slam my hands to my temples the pressure building up almost like a balloon filled with needles. A sharp kick to my stomach makes me hunch over and another to my side sends me tumbling to the ground. My hands still glued to my temples for if I move them I feel as if my head may explode. "It's time..." I look up watching with wide eyes and paralyzed limbs as a tall dark figure stands over me. Their hand is held palm out towards me and the eerie glow of the burning fire surrounds their figure. " Take her to the correction hall." My mind screams at me to fight but a small twitch of the figures hand has another more intense wave of pain crashing onto me. A scream shakes my core as I try to release to pressure in anyway. Arms slide under my curled figure and lift me up slowly carefully even. My eyes are pressed shut as red dots dance behind my eyelids. Every time I scrap up some sort of sanity through the excruciating pain it was crumbles away by another more intense wave of pain. Opening my eyes briefly anger consumes me when Red once again clashes with silver. Betrayal eats at me but I can't attack him in the amount of pain I'm in. ' I'm going to rip you apart.' I growl into his head my voice cold and every bit serious. I'm forced to shut my eyes once again before I'm able to see his reaction but by the way he tenses I'm sure my message rang loud and clear. When I got out of this pain induced paralysis I wouldn't see him as family. He was my enemy a danger to my Kings, to the Guard, to my family, and to my mate. My last living blood brother was the one who betrayed me in the cruelest way. He was to be dealt with in the same way. My body is slowly set onto a cold metal chair and before I move to hurt anyone my hands are strapped palm down to the arm of the chair. Another shock of pain has me weak and three pairs of hands work on my restrains. One yanks my head back by my hair and slides straps onto my chin and forehead. Another straps my ankles to the legs of the cold metal. The last has me hissing in anger as their hands wrap a thick piece of leather across my chest. With a sharp hiss from a unknown source all hands are lift from me and their presences are replaced with only one. " After all this time and sacrifice she has been returned to us!!" The voice booms making me want to scream out as another shock of pain floods my body. " Many of you know the story of my princess of Ashes....We saw her as a myth or a goddess that blessed us with her light. She was however stolen from us in the early revolution by the monster! But when Aro introduces his new guard as my long lost love I stopped at nothing to get her back!!" My head was spinning from the pain and confusion. ' What The Actual Fuck!!!' Long lost love?!? Stolen??! GODDESS???? Something wasn't adding up. " But she was not treated with care as she should be! They have beat her into believing we are the enemies. They've turned my princess into a monster! To fight for them like a weapon!!" Tears gather in my eyes as the pain becomes too much for me. " We gather here today to bring back our Princess of Ashes!!" A roar of yelling and cheering only makes my pain worse. Then suddenly it's all gone and I can think clearly again. " Let's begin." I open my mouth to scream, protest, yell, or just make a noise but I'm silenced as a hand is placed onto my forehead and then a bright light snaps in front of me and I'm thrown back. Into my worst fear.
