And Still I Rise

"We need to have a serious talk"

I quickly turned on the lamp and it was none other than Aro himself. He was furious and I could tell. I quickly sat up not realizing I was in a plane bra and panties since I had just woke up. I panicked "I-I" I couldn't speak to him. He shut the door behind him and locked it. I was getting nervous and scared at this point, I was sure he was gonna end my life right now. I've never seen him this upset especially with me, I was terrified. He turned to look back at me and he was livid. He then destroyed the whole entire room. He smashed the stool beside me and threw it at the vanity mirror, he threw the lamp and smashed it on the floor glass shattering around us, he threw the cabinets and all you could hear is the sound of distraction.

I cried and feared. I was having a panic attack at this point. Everything was happening so fast I couldn't keep up and I could sense his rage. Once the noise stopped I did not dare to look at him in the eyes anymore. I then felt a cold pair of arms grab me "What happened" he growled. His once beautiful ruby eyes were now pitch darkness "I dint do anything" I cried. His grip then tightened not believing me, before I could explain he then grabbed my neck and I felt his sharp teeth on my neck. He was hurting me. I then felt him suck blood from my body. I believe that someone sensed or heard the commotion because next thing I knew Marcus bursted through the door with Demetri and Felix.

Renata was following behind along with Jane. Marcus pulled Aro off me "Would you control yourself? You don't even care to show lack of embarrassment." He spit out. Renata then rushed to my aid as well as Demetri "Michelle, are you okay!?" Worry was filled within her voice "Master, Michelle did absolutely nothing wrong to lead Andrei's behavior." Renata defended me. Aro's pitch black eyes returned to his beautiful Red Ruby one's once again "Leave us alone. I wanna talk to Michelle myself." He ordered. Everyone was contemplating wether to leave or stay until he said "Now!" And everyone left with Renata giving me a reassuring look.

Once everyone left, it was just me and Aro and the silence. He had hurt me. Not only that he destroyed the entire room before even allowing me to explain my side of the story. Was Sulpicia right after all? Thoughts were scattered around my mind and I couldn't believe what had just happened. Aro then turned away from me walking towards the window contemplating what to do next. After minutes of silence he then spoke "Explain." And so I did without wasting time. I tried my best not to get choked up in my distress "He just had asked me if ... I truly wanted to be part of this coven. He then admitted to being attracted to me. I had made it clear I had no intentions to be involved with him romantically or even promise him anything. He then kissed me. That was it." I had problems stuttering.

All of this was truly my fault, I led him on. Now Aro won't even look at me or want me anymore because over ruined my chances with him. He then turned and looked at me "Is that all?" He question, I then nodded while my eyes had tears built up in them. Aro then just looked at me with a blank face expression until he took a few steps trying to get closer to me "No don't, you've done enough already" I spoke afraid grabbing the blanket to cover some of my body. He then went back to look at me but he did not care and continued walking towards me until he yanked me again making me stand up still grabbing the blanket covering my body with it.

He then looked at me in the eyes "Let me make something clear to you Miss Swan. You will not leave this coven, you belong to me now. You surrendered yourself to me to give your sister and her mate liberty." He spoke while tightening his grip "I never wanted to." I just spoke silently. He then seemed to slowly release me, I was able to see bruises on my arm from his tight grip. His eyes then turned even darker than they were before and he just stared down to me "As for your private life, your able to do whatever you want with whatever or whoever you please. Make sure to keep things private." He then turned around and was heading out the door. I panicked, he thought that I had taken interest in Andrei.
