Sam's POV
"You! You are the fucking son of a bitch who did this to me? Why? What did I ever do to you? You destroyed my life and then you left me alone to rot under a damned tree!" I said, at first low and menacing then raising my voice so much that I was yelling. I lunged at him, my hatred and disgust for my newly found maker fuelled my growl as I sped towards him. Suddenly I stopped moving. My body felt as if I had just collided with an invisible wall which I couldn't break down. I clawed at it and pushed against if but I couldn't get to him.
"It's useless Sam. He controls us. Everything we do is in his hands now. That's his power. He controls his created children." I heard a familiar voice say from behind me. I turned around and found Logan, looking depressed and worn out.
"You too?" I asked him, my eyes wide. "Not just me," he said. From the shadows came out three figures. They were two females and a male. The first one I noticed had flaming red hair, such a bright red it resembled the colour of fresh blood. She looked about my age with pain stricken eyes and the face of a porcelain doll but she was wearing tattered clothing, just like the rest of them. Next was an Asian girl with dark brown hair which would easily been silky if she wasn't living in such ugly conditions. She looked really sweet and pretty but she was in pain too. The male next to her was fairly tall. He had jet black hair and was nicely built. He shared the same pained expression as the others.
My maker... he was keeping them here against their will... So that meant... I would soon share their fate.
"Apologise." he said to me. I snorted loudly. "Not even if the forest was burning and only you could stop it." I said to him, my words laced with venom. I saw his relaxed hands turn into a fist and tighten.
"Apologise." he repeated. I put my hand to my chest. The pain I was feeling made me fall to my knees. It felt as if he had his hand around my heart and was squeezing tight. Not that I could not live with it but the pain felt intolerable. Still I would not apologise. "No." I coughed weakly at him. He stepped two steps closer to me and started turning his fist anticlockwise. My left arm shot behind my back and it was twisting to the right. At first it did not hurt but the minute I started hearing multiple cracks the pain I felt was indescribable. If felt as if someone used voodoo on me and I was being controlled and bended in unnatural positions and a million spikes were shoved through my arm.
"Stop! Her arm will break with the slightest of twists more." Logan shouted.
"Apologise." he said for the third time. I wanted to say no but I just couldn't or otherwise my arm would snap.
"Sorry." I mumbled, my jaw clenched. He released my arm slightly. "Say it nicely." he said to me, grinning like batman's joker. I didn't want to. One time was enough. He tightened the hold on my arm all of a sudden and I screamed in pain. "I'm very sorry." I shouted. He let go of his manipulation on me completely. I felt to the ground, my new dress ruined with mud. Logan stepped up to help me.
"Don't. She had to learn her lesson." he said to Logan. "Remember, the next time you address me, call me Master Gaius. I will not tolerate disrespectfulness." he said. He stepped on my body as if I was a piece of dirt and so did the blond. She had to make sure to dig in her stiletto tips in my back. "And call me Mistress Jana." she said. They went of inside their little cabin leaving me alone to my thoughts. My mind rushed, analysing what happened to me and how I could get out of the situation. I felt strength come from deep within me. I felt Alec's arms around me and him whispering that he loved me and that I was his brave girl, his brave beautiful girl.
Back up a little bit. Alec wasn't here.
"Logan, stop using your power on me. I need to think straight." I said. I got up, feeling wobbly on my feet for the first time in almost two decades. I looked at my throbbing arm and noticed cracks. Deep cracks you would only find on granite. I looked away, not wanting to remember the terrible episode. I just had a little vision then that showed that there was going to be some humping in that cabin. Ew. We were going to live in misery and be used and exploited while they had sex. Could it get any worse?
"They… they're going to start um…"
"You don't need to say it. They do that after every girl they recruit. Let's just say that Jana is a little bit… insecure. At least you're the last one." The guy said.
"Can you please explain to me what's going on? Why are you guys still here? Come on let's run away." I said to them and broke in a desperate run away from my so called master. I had to leave Alaska. Go back to Europe so that he won't find me. I had to do all I could to escape. I promised myself years ago that I would never let anyone use me for my powers. I ran for about five minutes when I collided again with that invisible barrier I felt earlier. I rushed five steps back and ran heads forward with all my strength. I practically bounced off it. I felt pain sear through my body as I tried it again. I looked down at my hands which were grey. My skin was turning grey and looked cracked. The more I tried the more it hurt. But I kept trying until I felt hands around me. I tried to struggle against them but I could not. Logan and the guy were restraining me while the girls tried to comfort me.
"What the fuck does he want with us?" I shouted. I felt my cheek sting, as Logan had slapped me.
"Calm down, the more you agitate the more it gets worse. Let us explain." He said. I calmed down eventually. They let me go and sat on the ground. I joined them.
"So I guess you should know your hell buddies. You start Bonnie." Logan said to the red headed girl. She nodded.
"Um hi, I'm Bonnie but many people call me Red. I was originally French. I was cursed to this small pit of hell because I can do pyrokinesis." She said and with one wave of her hand she had a flame dancing just inches away from her palm. I gasped. She grinned at me.
"Hey, I'm Alex." The guy said who had a British accent I hadn't noticed before. "As you might have guessed I'm British. And I'm here because I can do this." He said and looked at a specific branch on the ground and without touching it; it floated quickly to his hand. "Come on you can do better than that." The girl who hadn't introduced herself to me yet said. He nodded and grinned at her. Suddenly she was floating in mid air. My mouth was a perfect O by now.
"And last but certainly not the least, I'm Danielle." She said and extended a hand to me which I shook. "Sam." I told her. And I got recruited to Hell High because I can do this. She said while holding her palm up and wriggling her fingers. This caused three little rocks to shuffle in the air. "…or maybe because I can do this." She said with a knowing grin. Suddenly I felt the ground beneath me shake. As I was about to get up, I was lifted up, a patch of ground still underneath me, supporting my rear so that I was still sitting down.
"Holy shit." I said in amazement as she lowered me up and down with just the wave of her palm.
"Show off." Alex muttered but Danielle just stuck her tongue at him and let me down gently.
"SAM!" I heard a loud voice shout. It was Daren. I turned around, not sure how to explain what was happening to me. Suddenly the other four around me got up quickly and all started shouting.
"Don't!"
"Stop."
"Dude, you'll die if you cross." Logan said in a breath. Daren stopped abruptly, backed by Nessie and Jake in wolf form.
"What?" Nessie asked Logan as she looked at us, muddy and dirty as we all were. Then her eyes landed on me.
"Sam what's going on?" she asked me with doubt in her voice. "My maker, Ness. Our maker can control everything we do. We're his puppets." I told her.
"Why can't we come to you?" Daren asked us. I turned to the others.
"If you do we'll attack you. We have no choice; we have to do what he commanded us to do. He knew that the last chosen one, Sam, was staying with you so he ordered us to destroy any vampire or shifter who crossed the boundaries." Bonnie said.
"Well, what are we going to do?" Nessie said, determined to come up with a plan.
"There's nothing you can do. Go home and don't waste your time. Believe us we've tried just everything. It only makes him mad, and Sam you've tasted a little of that madness today. Believe us you wouldn't even stand a chance against us." Alex said to them. I looked at Nessie was looking as helpless as me.
"Sam?" she asked me, demanding what will happen next. "Go. Thank everyone for all they've done with me. Thank you for being a good friend Ness. I…" I was out of words.
"Sam, you were supposed to be my maker. You were supposed to teach me, how can you give up on me so fast?" Daren said to me.
"Daren I can do nothing about it. I'm trying to understand what he wants from us. I… I just don't know what to do right now. Give me some time to come up with something. 'Kay?" He sighed deeply. "Be careful. This smells like a really bad affair." he said. I nodded and after many reluctant goodbyes they left.
"I need something explained to me. How did he pick us? Out of all the other millions out there, why specifically us? Was it random? And why would he need us?" I asked them, anger and frustration at having my life stolen from me for the fourth time in my life.
"Calm down and let us explain. Gaius, had a run with the Volturi . The Volturi are-"
"I know very well who the Volturi are. I lived for almost three years with them; I'm mated with one of them." I whispered, holding the diamond heart in my hands which I had put on a simple silver chain to match the dress.
"You're mated with a guy from the Volturi!" Danielle whispered loudly. "We must make sure that Gaius doesn't find out otherwise he'll use you as bait." Bonnie said. We all agreed with her. "So what's his deal with the Volturi?" I asked them.
"He wanted the three masters to become four. They wouldn't accept him so he kept turning vampires until one of them had powers. Those who were normal would get destroyed. Finally he stumbled upon Jana, whose power is finding the powerful vampires, like us. So he spent the last hundred years searching for us, the most powerful vampires you'll ever find. Together we are unstoppable. His plan is that we bring down the Volturi."
"Oh God! Alec." I said horrified at the thought of having to kill the only person that could complete me and make me happy. Just the though sent a shiver running along my spine and a stab of pain to my heart. I'd rather have Gaius kill me than letting him make us kill Alec. I couldn't and wouldn't be able to continue living without the hope that I'll see Alec again some day.
