Sam's POV
Alec… dead… because of me. My hands red, bloodstained. His head… no longer attached to his body. His eyes… cold and empty… lifeless. My body started throbbing with pain. I shouted his name, shouted how much I loved him and that I would soon join him.
Suddenly the fog dispersed and I was staring a very worried Bonnie and a very loud Danielle shouting for the others to get here. I had had another future vision. "I'm alright." I muttered though the vision had broken any hope of me being anywhere near okay.
"Alight! I've never seen anybody twist their limbs to a point of breaking them while having a vision. Sam, what did you see?" Danielle asked me. "Same as last time." I said while scrubbing some mud off my face. "Seriously, don't worry. I'll be alright."
I tried to go to Volterra again, but I was ending up having the same vision. He knew I could teleport so he ordered me that I should only teleport in our boundaries. And even if I could, I did not have enough power in me. As much as I tried I never succeeded.
Life had become a total misery. I can never recall being this melancholic and afflicted since the breakdown in Finland after I left Alec. Gaius was a total bitch to us. He made us practice 24/7. He made us use our powers on each other until we're all a breath away from our final death. He made Logan use his powers on us everyday to make us get over our fears. My biggest fear… holding Alec's dead body in my hands. Poor Logan would feel really guilty for what Gaius made him do to us. Gaius said he wanted to turn us into the ultimate killing machines and frankly, he succeeded. He made me train so hard that I have become able to have a vision while still being active for fighting on the battleground.
The Cullens have been trying to save us for quite some months but he ordered us to destroy any vampire that crosses our boundaries so they had no way to get to us. I know for a fact as I had almost killed Daren on one of his crazy attempts to rescue me. Gaius and Jana were unstoppable. The way they were training us proved that they were professionals. I was sure that we could take down the Volturi easily.
I feared for Alec's life. Gaius hated Jane and Alec. Though I had managed to keep my relationship with Alec a secret from him as he'd most definitely try to use it to his advantage to get Alec on his side I could not get myself to rest about the fact that I would have to watch him suffer.
He was working me beyond exhaustion. He believed that since I could not paralyse or block in any way my attacker's attack that I was the weakest. Though I could foresee the attack I was not a very good fighter. Since I could not teleport in demand, he made Logan scare me enough to a point that my body acted on its own and teleported me ten feet away. Not much but it still had me low on energy. I was sure that I could not endure this for long. I prayed every night that somehow Alec would come rescue me. I sounded like a true damsel in distress.
I was getting along fine with the others, especially with Danielle and Bonnie. When Gaius and Jana were busy we would talk and plot ways of how we would kill them if we could. They understood me and my worry about what would happen if we had to attack the Volturi.
"Sam, I believe you are supposed to be teleporting not wasting time." I heard Gaius' voice which made me shudder deeply. "Should I get Logan to get you to your senses?" he asked me.
"I'm trying. I honestly am." I said, forcing myself to get in a present vision. I tried hard to get myself to teleport but I couldn't. I was slapped right across the cheek.
"You lazy slob! You can't teleport because you're not trying hard enough. You're the worst of them all. You don't do anything. At least the others show progress. With you we're always at the beginning." he said. I was mad. Really mad.
"I'm tired as hell of you. You work us like dogs and you expect us to look forward to do your bindings when you treat us like dirt. Hadn't you been a stupid dickhead you would have been decent to us thus increasing our collaboration. Just go get fucked and leave me alone." I shouted at him. He was surprised for a moment but soon a diabolical grin spread across his face. I gulped. That expression promised nothing but pain. "Sure. I will get fucked. Undress." he ordered me. My eyes got as round as saucers and my hands shot to hold tightly the dress around me. Though stained beyond use it covered all of me.
"No, please, no. Not my body. Leave me alone. You can have anything else but not that." I pleaded with him. I have never felt like crying more than that moment. He was going to rape me. Mark me with his wretched scent.
"But Sam, I'm just doing what you asked me to." he said as he came closer to me. I found that I couldn't move. He traced my jaw with the back of his hand. He leaned in and as much as I struggled I only moved by an inch. He put a disgusting kiss on my lips. When He pulled away I started shouting. "What about Jana, huh? What will she do when she finds out?"
"Oh, what Jana thinks doesn't worry me. She's replaceable now that she helped me find the Five. It will be interesting to see how you'll react to living targets which you're allowed to kill. I'm sure the animals you hunt are not that much of a threat." He chuckled darkly in my ear. In all my existence I've never met such a cruel twisted person like Gaius. "Come on, undress." He said to me. My hands shot to the back of the halter neck. I pulled as much strength and power as I could and stopped myself.
"NO!" I shouted with force and determination. Only Alec had the privilege to se me naked, and certainly this maniac wasn't Alec.
"Fine. I'll just take you with your clothes on, then." He said and pushed me against a tree. I still couldn't move. Whimperes escaped my lips as he started touching my inner thighs.
"You called for me?" I heard Logan say. I looked at him with a pleading look to help me. I saw him get closer, about to demand that I should get released immediately. He met that invisible barrier Gaius puts up whenever he doesn't want us to approach him. "Stay put, Logan. I called you here because little Sam here is quite cold. Perhaps you can fire up the heat a little?" he said to him grinning like an idiot.
"Excuse me?" Logan asked him with thick disbelieve in his eyes. I mouthed 'rape' to Logan and he understood completely. He had a very murderous glare on his face the minute he faced Gaius.
"Get her to feel lusty you idiot." Gaius shouted at Logan. Logan couldn't do anything but do as he was told. Suddenly an image came to my mind.
Alec was holding me in his arms, stroking my hair as I whimpered because I had still been a virgin. My whimpers turned swiftly into moans. He was completing me, filling me. We were proving to ourselves the love we felt to each other. The moment felt extra special as I had just given myself completely to the man I loved. I was mated.
But now, something felt wrong. He was pushing inside of me with a deep force. Alec wouldn't do that. He was gentle and when we did it, it felt exhilarating. This felt outright painful. But Alec would never… wait. I opened my eyes and reality hit me like a cold hearted bitch. I was standing against a tree, Gaius humping me, my body responding. And I could do nothing about it. Wetness filled my eyes. The guilt I was feeling was tearing me apart on the inside.
I'm so sorry, Alec.
I never wanted this. I just wanted to live the rest of eternity with my mate. By Alec's side forever. Instead I no longer belonged to him as I had wanted. Years ago, when I was human I used to say that even if I ever got married I would still be my own person, free. But after I realised how nice it is to share your life with someone you love my perspective on things changed. I would gladly be Alec's for the rest of eternity. But I'd rather be finally dead that be Gaius'. I screamed and tried to push him away from me. He didn't even budge even though I used all my force.
"Don't scream. You belong to me now." He said through moans of pleasure as he defiled my body. "I have a mate." I shouted at him. "That boy you turned months ago? Powerful but nowhere next to you. You and I can have the world. You are my mine and you'll learn to love me." He said in my ears. "Never!" I shouted at him. My mind could not take it anymore. I had to run, never look back. Fog came and took me away, away from the cruel reality.
I was walking; I couldn't see anything except for fog, deep white fog. Suddenly I could not move. I looked down and noticed that vines were wrapped around my arms and legs, enabling m to move further. I looked back and saw Gaius holding the chainlike vines while smiling a tormenting evil grin. I looked away from Gaius and instead looked around me. In front of me, about a few meters away I could see a blurred silhouette of a man. I flapped my arms quickly and the fog dispersed a little, enough for me to see the face of the stranger. And guess who it was…
…
…
… Alec.
I pulled with all my might to get myself free from Gaius' clutches. All in vain. Alec started walking away and Gaius started pushing me backwards, towards the blackness which swallowed me whole.
Logan's POV
It's been a week since Gaius raped Sam. We had all jumped at Gaius to save her from him while he was to busy trying to get her to reanimate after she lost consciousness. We had been punished by Gaius but at least he stopped raping her. She has been in some sort of coma all the time. She hasn't moved once or done anything. Lying there, alone on the muddy ground with the rain pouring over her. She looked dead. While he raped her I could feel every single emotion she was feeling. Many would think that a girl while getting raped would feel self-piteous or angry at her rapist. Well she was angry at Gaius but guilt overpowered all her emotions. She felt guilty because she thought she was failing and betraying her mate. Rarely have I seen anybody with such a pure and innocent spirit. I was not one to believe in soul mates, but Sam was actually proving me wrong.
I have been protecting her from Jana. Her scent told all that Gaius did to her. Jana went agape shit on him. She tried to attack him but of course he could stop her so she went for Sam. All four of us protected Sam so she had no chance. We're a group of friends now. We stick for each other.
"Hey! Anybody there?" I heard the girl, Nessie who had visited Sam months ago say. I turned around and found her standing just a step away from the border.
"Hey Nessie!" I said to her.
"So, where's Sam?" she asked me. I looked away, not wanting to answer her. "Why is she lying on the ground?" She asked with a frown on her face. I saw her inhale and I knew that a tantrum would follow.
"WHO DID THAT TO HER?" she asked me, definitely enraged. "Gaius… Gaius raped her. She hasn't woken up since." I said swallowing my sorrow for the girl who had gone through so much. Nessie started inching closer to us. "Stop! Remember the boundaries." I told her. She didn't step closer. The seriousness of her voice made me shudder. "Take care of her. I swear I'm getting her and you guys out of there no matter what."
