Saving Grace

Co-written with @ScarredDagger

Zsadist: [It has been weeks since Bella was kidnapped from her house. Six weeks of this torture, wondering why this happened. The last words I said to her weren’t my best. But then again when was I really at my best? Never. My brother was the good one. I am the damaged one. The one no one wanted their female around. Not that I could blame them. I’ve only gotten worse these past weeks. I care more about this female than I want to admit. And I don’t see any real possibilities of her still being alive, yet I keep holding on to hope.] Fuck! [I look down at the necklace for the millionth time this night. She was beauty personified and now that beauty is gone. I finally understand what why the rats with tails say hope is a dangerous thing. It can make a male, a fighter, into a pitiful shell hoping to catch a simple phrase to prove that he wasn’t stupid for refusing to let it go. Looking up at the sky, on the very porch the struggle began the night she was taken.] Bella I am going to bring you home one way or another. @Bella_Rempoon

Bella: *The darkness was cold and unforgiving as I made my way around the underground hole I was kept in. #David had just left after watching me shower. I shuddered and tried hard not to throw up again. I have never felt so violated in my life. Perhaps my brother was right. I should have stayed at the family home. Perhaps I wouldn't have been kidnapped, but if I hadn’t … I wouldn’t have had my cottage, I would have have lived next to Mary, I wouldn’t have met John Matthew, I would have had a chance to visit the Brotherhood Manse, I wouldn’t have met Zsadist … I thought about him a lot these last few weeks. The feelings that manifested since the day I walked into his bedroom have become a whirlwind of daydreams and self doubt. He made it clear he did not want me and yet …*

Zsadist: [I listen to my words echo in the silence around the house. I knew that her family didn’t want me here. But I was powerless to stay away. I needed to be near something, anything, of hers. Thoughts of our last meeting consumed me whenever I was in my room at the manse. I remembered the harsh words and the sickening feeling of the vomit coming up my throat. Looking to the sky, I take note that dawn was coming. I turned back and glanced back at her house once more before I willed myself to dematerialize and ghosted myself towards the manse. The moment I was on the property, I materialize and headed straight to V. I needed to check in to see if there has been any news of her. Even though hope was a dangerous and useless thing, I couldn’t and wouldn’t give up on finding her.]

Bella: *I felt a tug of the pulley system that #David has created to pull me from the tube to come up above ground. I squinted as I tried to adjust to the lights he provided to light up the shed I was held in. As I opened my eyes, I could smell the blood in the air … I turned to the right and saw on a stainless-steel table, a civilian male was brought into the shed, groggy and seemingly disoriented.*

Hello, wife. Look, I brought you blood. *When I looked into the eyes of the civilian, he was terrified. I looked away as I could feel the bloodlust stirring and my fangs descend. It had been too long. I tug my head away as #David tried to force me to drink. I resisted.*

Good girl, if you have done willingly I would have had to beat you. But you have to be thirsty … you have to feed in order to live, right?

*My mouth was dry and I could feel my saliva glands working but I couldn’t do it.* I’m so sorry. *I told the male. Instantly, I felt the lesser’s hand slap me across the face. I could feel blood from my lip as he tugged on my hair, arching my back.*

You don’t speak to him. You only worry about me. *There is was the arousal, he was ready to fight me. He mentioned his former lover, that she wasn’t strong enough and would pass out when they fought.* Tell me you love me. I love you.

“Holy fuck! I’m going to tell.” *I heard from behind me. #David let me go and ran after the other lesser outside. I quickly got up and released the clips from the civilian’s wrists and ankles. WHen he got up he tried to release me.*

There’s no time and only he has the keys. Focus and go home, tell my family. Now GO! *I watched as he took a moment and finally was able to dematerialized. I knew he would punish me severely for letting the male go. It was going to bad … really bad.*

Zsadist: [Walking into the room where V has all the techy shit at and see him click clicking away one of the monitors. Clearing my throat] “Anything?”

[V looks towards me and shakes his head.] “Nothing yet my man. [Just as he says this a button on the phone lights and a shrill sound filled the confined space then V’s voice answering it. I continued to stand in the doorway, waiting for him to get off the phone, only to see him turn towards me with a stunned look on his tattooed face. Immediately, I knew it was something about Bella. My Bella. I watch as he writes down something, what I had no fucking clue. After what seemed like years, he hangs up the phone and being to speak but all I could hear is her name Bella.]

“Z, she is alive. A civilian was captured and brought to a remote location and put into a tube in the ground. He was brought there to feed her. Something happened and he was able to escape and Bella told him to call us. He is going to show us where she is.”

“She’s alive?” [Rushing toward to main part of the manse mentally preparing what I needed. Guns and a shit ton of ammo. I nee…]

“Z, we can't go right now. The dawn is breaking and unless you want to be extra crispy and unable to save her, you aren’t, ya feel me?”

[Staring him in his eyes, I know he is right but, dammit, the thought that she had to spend another minute with those fuckers. My shoulders slump over as I continue to my room and begin to count down the hours til dusk.] “I’m coming to get you, Bella.”

Bella: *I felt groggy and dizzy as I came aware of my surroundings. I doubled over in pain as I felt an intense agony from my stomach but for some reason I couldn’t open my eyes. My face was throbbing on my face. I could feel the swelling of my eye, cheek and jaw … I could only imagine what my face looks like. I remember the rage of #David’s face when he realized the male was gone. First thing he did was hit me across the face with a right hook so hard, I was knocked unconscious and now just woke up from the pain. I felt the shallowness of my breath as I tried to breath through it but my chest felt heavy and when I pressed down I could feel the bruise as it radiated through my body. He must have kicked me while I was out.

I laid back down on the pipe to lessen the pressure of sitting up and breath as best I could through the discomfort. It felt like my brain was pulsating against my the head, the shooting pain like a migraine was irritating. I tried to open my eyes, but there was no use … I was going to die here, dearest Scribe. The last few thoughts was of my mahmen and Rehv and then the scarred face before I blacked out in sweet oblivion.*

Zsadist: [The moment the sound of the shutters rising I was out the damn door. I didn’t care who or what was following me. I was getting Bella out now. The sound of footsteps behind my back lets me know my brothers are with me.] “Will the male be there?”  [I’ve probably asked V this fifty times but I had to do something. Ever since the call came in and V told me about it, I couldn't sit still. How could I? She has been kept alive and was probably tortured every damn day. How could this happen. V began to explain where we were meeting the civilian and they all dematerialized and willed themselves to the location. Once I fully materialized, I see the civilian, the last person to see her. I wanted to grill him but V took over and learned he had marked a path during his escape. Though I look down on those sissy ass civilians I had to give him credit he was bright and he ensured that I would get her. Following the path to the edge of some woods, we spot a building and watch seeing who or what was coming and going. Once we determined that the coast was as clear as it was going to get, we move in. We quickly make our way to the shelter. After searching the building finding what had to be the place the male had said he saw her. Finding nothing, I wanted nothing more than to scream and burn the place down, when I remember that there was something about pipes. I let my eyes scan over the ground. My eyes catch some irregularities along the woods closest to the buildings. Running to it, I see four tubes in the ground. Searching the first two and coming up with nothing, I begin to lose hope. Reaching the third one, I notice there is someone done there.] “I found someone!” [Looking at the lifting mechanism and begin to pull whoever it was up. The closer the body gets to the surface, I realise that it was Bella. In the distance I hear a voice call out that they found someone else but that person was nothing to me. Bella was all I could focus on. Pulling her up and into my arms. I carry her to the a car sitting on the property and lay her down softly, I was getting her out of here. And I was doing it now.]

Bella: *I became conscious as I felt a vibration beneath me. Is #David moving me is where else? Where now?! I had hoped that perhaps letting the male escape would somehow, however doubtful, bring me saviors to my relentless torment. It had to have been weeks since he kidnapped me. I remembered the other male captive who was in the tube next to mine saying he had attended my funeral. It was hopeless … no one was ever going to save me. I started to cry. I heard a deep male voice call out. It startled me into trying to find my bearings and realized I was laying on something I even … the vibration … it was from a car.*

Who's there? Who are you?

Zsadist:

[Trying to get Bella the hell out of here as fast as I can, It was miracle that this POS didn’t break down. We had passed the roadcheck with only the annoyance of having to mind wipe the officer. Now we were almost to the manse when Bella’s voice broke through the silence in the car. Her question made me angry that she even had to ask that.]

Bella it’s okay. You are okay. It’s Zsadist. You are safe.

Bella: *Zsadist. He had come for me … I started to cry with relief than I slid into blackness.*

Overprotectiveness

Co-written with @SympathRehv

Bella: *I checked my phone to see that Rehv had texted me to meet him for First Meal once the sun set for the evening. I texted that I would meet him. I was still pissed about our last “family event” where he was requesting a sehclusion status be placed on me courtesy of the Glymera Council. It has been a few nights since dinner … and I have been holed up in my cottage trying to find a way out of it. I was so livid. I am still but I knew how stubborn my big brother and that he could barely be reasoned with. I had a few hours to try and come up with something that would help my case.*

Rehv: {After receiving the message back from Bella, I put the phone to the side. Everything that has happened with Xhex getting hurt while out; had me wondering if I needed to up the security at Bella’s place. Running my hand over my face as I thought back to the talk last night with Xhex. It was still fresh on my mind and the talk of the sehclusion with Bella a few nights ago fresh as well. Things have gotten crazy and I knew I had to talk to her. I was hoping that she wouldn't come up with some excuse to not come over for first meal. Mahmen has been on me about getting her back to the house since the last time she was here, she kept telling me that she was missing her and I needed to make sure she came over. I didn't like to disappoint our mahmen and told her I would try to get Bella to come over and that there was still a few hours before first meal was being served.}

Bella: *As I paced more and more inside my refuge from my overprotective family, I remembered how difficult it was to convince them to let me have a place of my own. I could imagine how much convincing I would need to plead in order to get out of a sehclusion. Perhaps I needed to avoid the request but I knew that it would upset mahmen and Rehv. Sighing I sat on my porch once the sun had set looking over to @Mary_Tohrture’s and wondering what choices I had. I needed to get ready soon.*

Rehv: {Looking at the clock next to my bed, I still had enough time to take a shower. I just gave myself a shot of dopamine, things were already feeling cold and my vision was normal, if that's what you wanted to call it. I despised the fact I always felt cold when I gave myself the shot but it helped control my symphath side and I didn't need Bella finding out about me. Reaching for my cane as I got out of bed and made my way to the bathroom. Turning the water on in the shower and waited for a couple of minutes before stepping into the shower as the steam was filling the bathroom. Taking hold of the soap, thoroughly cleaning my body a few times over. Then standing under the water stream letting the hot water run over my body, wishing like hell I would stay warm. Shutting the water off and pulling a towel from the hook and wrapping it around my waist before taking the cane and going back into my room. Heading straight for the closet I pulled one of my suits out and walked towards the bed where I could dress without having to rely on the wall or cane.}

Bella: *I chose to be myself this time around since it was just my brother and myself so I chose a pair of Seven jeans and a loose, flowy top and some boots. I called it good. I wanted to dress casual and comfortable since I knew this would be more than likely an uncomfortable situation. I took a few deep breaths to calm my nerves … my anger was slowly surfacing and I knew I needed to think of ways to try to avoid a blow up at dinner this evening. I sat on my couch and leaned my head against the back and looked up into my ceiling with different thoughts running through my head. From the whole issue of the sehclusion, my independance to my family as a whole. I loved my brother. Rehv has always been there for me … but as the years progressed his attitude towards my independance has changed. When I was a child, he always seemed to encourage to do things on my own and be my own person … but after my transition … things became more exasperating to say the least. It began with my decision to move out of mahmen’s house and living alone. That was such a fight … and now with this. I took one more deep breath to center myself and got up from my couch and got ready to leave.*

Rehv: {My mind on other things as I dressed and just wanted to make sure Bella was safe where she lived. After what happened to Xhex, I really didn't want anything happening to my own sister. I'd kill anyone that would touch her. I've always kept the females around me safe, my sister and mahmen being the main ones. Xhex and the ones that worked for me were also in that list, seeing Xhex hurting like she was, had my symphath side wanting the life of the one who has done that to her. It was trying to get the name from her that was going to be the hard part, she kept locking her grid down while she was at work. Which made the thought of the sehclusion for Bella come back to my mind. She wasn't happy about it, so for now I'd leave it alone and make her home she's staying in more secure and if need be, I'd be making sure someone was watching her while she was home.

        Sighing as I grabbed my cane and walked down to the dining room, mahmen wasn't going to be at this dinner so it wasn't as formal as she always had it and the doggen prepared food we both liked. I took my seat and went through my phone, checking the messages that I knew wasn't there.}

Bella: *I dematerialized and reappeared at the doorstep of my family childhood home and knocked on the door. Our family doggen opened the door and allowed me entry into the foyer and was lead to the dining room. The house, as always, was impeccably decorated, clean, tidy … as mahmen always wanted and how the doggen always carried out her wishes. You could barely noticed the security details that were in place unless you were really looking for them. The doggen hid them well from sight as mahmen felt that although they were necessary, they need not be seen.

Rehv was seated at the table on his phone when I entered and as he stood up at my arrival, I dutifully presented my cheek for his traditional kiss and returned one as custom. I took my seat to his left and waited as the doggen began to serve us dinner all the while trying to relax, stay calm and think positively.*

Rehv: {As soon as Bella entered the dinner room, I stood up and gave her cheek a kiss. Letting her take a seat before sitting down myself, clearing my throat and waiting for the doggen to finished putting the food onto the tables} Bella, I've been thinking about what we had talked about before. I'm going to let it be for now, but I'm going to be upgrading the security at your home. {I picked up my glass of water that was there and took a drink. I could knew she was surprised at what I just said but I was waiting for the anger I could sense brewing just below that. She didn't like I was doing such but I didn't need anything happening to her if I could help it. I didn't want to make her move back home and stay here with our mother. I could understand the need to have her own place, I have a couple places of my own they didn't know about.}

Bella: *After picking up my fork and about to take a bit of my salad, Rehv dropped the ball right off the bat. Setting down my biteful of lettuce, I turned fully to mine brother.*

Seriously? Just like that? No, argument? No other additional demands? Just an upgrade to my security system … that’s it? *I didn’t know what to say. All he did was nod as confirmation and started with his meal, I sat there just staring down at the table at the beautiful linens and place settings that mahmen personally chose.

I mean I was pretty ready for an all out battle without my mahmen here to prevent certain actions and words being said that I knew we both suppressed to avoid causing my mahmen to be upset. Though she and I were never very close, her and Rehv were very much so that he did everything he could to provide and always deferred to her wishes. There were very exceptions … the family’s security and protection and me. He helped me moved out on my own, especially after what happened with the Glymera all those years ago. I sometimes wondered what he said to my former “fiancé” … regardless I was shunned by the families of the Princep’s Council along with the members of the Glymera. Thank the Scribe, mahmen was a Fallen Chosen who spiritually counseled others, that even though her daughter was an outcast … she remained a well-loved female of worth.

I picked up my fork and started to eat again to fill the empty air between us.*

Rehv: {Giving her a nod and eating my food, yeah, I was all for the sehclusion but things have gotten crazy with everything that happened to Xhex. I had to get to the bottom of that, if she was up to talking to me yet. She kept her grid locked down tight around me. Clearing my thoughts and picking my glass up to take a drink before looking at my sister.} That's it for now Bella, this discussion will continue later. I've got a lot going on and not sure when I should continue the argument with you since I know that's what will happen. {Picking up my fork to eat the food I had in front of me as I thought of things I needed to do. I needed to get things done this week, being back and not quite myself after meeting with the bitch has had me off my game. I hated doing this but for everyone's sake it had to be done. Now I was dealing with Bella’s attitude and I knew not to say anything to her, it was best she didn't know the truth about me. I heard my phone signal a message but I ignored it for now. Whoever it was could wait until I was at the office.}

Bella: *I listened quietly afraid to say anything that might change my brother’s mind. He was as stubborn as my mahmen was loyal to the Scribe Virgin. So, I just nodded and continued my meal as we both were finishing up. A chirp sounded indicating a text message from his phone which apparently he chose to disregard. I couldn’t finish anymore of the doggen’s meal, delicious as it was. I also wanted to go ahead and end the night so that nothing else could possibly happen.*

Rehv, the meal was impeccable and delightful as always. My compliments. *I scooted back in my chair as I waited for a signal for my dismal as he was prone to subject me to when he was frustrated with me. I wanted to wanted to go visit Mary to see what was going on with John Matthew after the visit to the Brotherhood. Which my brother had no knowledge of … are you kidding me? He’d have a heart attack for sure.*

Rehv: {Finishing my meal and knowing her being quiet ... was never good thing. I tried to avoid going into her mind but I was tempted to tonight but there something she kept thinking loudly enough and I was wondering about this male and female she was thinking about. I ignored it for now, the questioning will happen later on. Giving her a nod as I heard her words.} I'll send someone to make the upgrades to your security soon. I'll see you next time, sister mine.

{Taking a hold of my cane as she gave me nod about the security, then got up and left the room. The doggen came in to asking if everything was alright. Letting them know is what good as usual and that I would be leaving for the night. Gave him the usual task of making sure mahmen was cared for while I was away. It was the normal daily things it always had him smiling as he started to clear the table. I got up from my chair and went to the closet where my duster was and put it on. I then went out to the garage where my Bentley was parked. I had a few things to take care of before the night was over. First thing was first, calling the security company to finish installing the upgraded system to Bella’s home.}

Sehclusion

Bella: <It was time to meet my family for First Meal as was custom on Sunday evenings. I step outside my cottage and dematerialize to the estate where Rehv bought my mahmen many years ago. I knocked on the door since all the walls were lined with steel, along with all kinds of other protective security that my overzealous brother installed all around the mansion.> @SympathRehv

Rehv: {Hearing the knock on the door and knowing it should Bella. She was always on time, if not early for First Meal on Sunday. I watched as the doggen went to answer the door and let her in. I knew that what I’ve been contemplating about asking the King the last few days would make her upset but I wanted to keep her safe. I was regretting the fact I let her move into her own place. Mahmen was always worrying about her being on her own. Giving her a smile as she entered the room and figured I’d bring this up after we ate.}

Bella: <Entering the grand foyer, I see Rehv in his three piece suit and his mink duster.> Hey Rooster.<I give him a kiss on the cheek and sit on the chaise in the parlor while we wait for the doggens to complete First Meal.> How’s business, brother mine? <I ask as we relax in front of the fire. I realized over the years that you always gave me very vague answers in regards to what you did everyday but as I grew up I understood you probably had your reasons.>

Rehv: {Shaking my head with a smile at her nickname she always used for me.} Business is fine Bella, how’s things going at home for you? Do you have everything you need? {My brow raised with concern as I asked. I didn’t really like the fact I gave in to letting you have your own place but I had to let you do things on your own. But that didn’t mean I couldn’t ensure that you were safe at home. I had the place set up to alert me if anyone broke in while you were home or away.}

Bella: Of course brother mine. You know that mahmen and I never have want of anything. You have always been a great provider for this family. <I loved that about my brother, but sometimes wonder why he never with anyone. I worry that he worked to much.> Is there any new love interests perhaps? <I smile as I see him slightly wince.>

Rehv: {Shaking my head with a small smirk} What’s this sudden interest in my love life? Not like there is much of one at the moment. What about you? {Brow raised with curiosity and hope that the past events have deterred her from even taking any interest in any more fucking males like the last one who drug her name through the dirt while his stayed untainted. If I could of I’d have dealt with that male in my own way but since he was with the Glymera it would of been questioned. He’ll get what is coming to him if I have a say in it.}

Bella: <I blush knowing my luck with males hasn’t been the greatest.> No one, Rehv … I’ve been keeping to myself lately and focusing on writing. <Luckily, mahmen chose the moment to join us and a nice that dinner was ready. The rest of the meal went as normal but then the subject of the Glymera came up as mahmen spoke about some of the new change of leadership and the newest players.>

Rehv: {My brow shot up and a smile came across my face as I heard her saying that she was focused on something other than males. I was about to make a comment when our mahmen came. I stood up giving her a kiss on the cheek and waiting until she sat down before I did. I could care less about the Glymera but our mahmen was so engrossed in the topic of the new leadership and I knew that I had to listen since I was in this society as much as both females. Little did they know what I did while I was at work and they would never know.}

Bella: <I was getting bored. I could care less about the Glymera once I was shunned for my last relationship. It was ridiculous really, but because I was a single female it didn’t matter the male was much at fault as I, we were not mated. I swear the Glymera still lived in an archaic era and not in modern times. Most males could sleep around with whomever as long as it wasn’t someone’s shellan, but if a female was promiscuous … she was condemned like the human’s book “The Scarlet Letter”. Fuck that. Though I never said it out loud. Mahmen would have a heart attack.>

Rehv: {Listening to mahmen speak and I could care less about the idiotic ways of the Glymera. If they only knew who and exactly what I was they’d send me to that damn place for sympaths. I was starting to feel my sister’s irritation with what is being said and I like her was getting bored and thanks the scribe for the doggen’s timing to come and clear out our dinner plates as we finished eating. They then brought out our desserts as I looked over at Bella thinking about bringing the topic up about putting her into sehclusion for her own safety. I knew she wouldn’t be happy to hear it but it’s what I figured would be best with all these attacks happening in the community.}

Bella: *The doggen’s placed fresh fruits with cream in front of us. I wonder to myself sometimes if mahmen would ever let go of the Glymera’s ideal female and serve just chocolate cake. I sighed inwardly. My mother was a diehard Chosen through and through. Thank the Scribe for my Rooster, he would surprise me in snacks and sweet desserts all the time … unbeknownst by mahmen of course. I smile about that little secret that I shared with mine brother. He always asked if I was still hungry and always made sure that I was full. I grew up a happy and carefree child around the age of 7 or so.*

Rehv: {Looking down at the dessert sitting in front of me and then back up at my sister. Taking a deep breath and ignoring the fruit, I placed my elbows on the table ignoring mahmen when she sputtered at me doing so.} Bella, I’ve asked that you were given the sehcluded status with everything going on. I’ve allowed you to stay at your own place and even installed the security there but I would rather have you home safe with mahmen. {I could sense her anger towards me the second she heard the word sehcluded. Mahmen was nodding with approval and saying it should of happened before I had allowed Bella to move out on her own.}

Bella: *I stopped my fork just as I was about to bite into my strawberry.* I’m sorry what did you just say? *I /did not/ just hear him say he had requested that I be given the sehclusion status. /No fucking way/ … I thought to myself. I could feel my temperature rise as well as my face turning red.* You’ve got to be fucking kidding me … *I heard my mahmen gasp at my crass language but at the point I didn’t care.* You cannot be serious.

Rehv: I’m very serious about this Bella. {Doing my best to keep calm as I felt my sympath side trying to feed off her anger. Taking another deep breath to try and keep myself from showing her my other half.} There’s too much going on out there and I can’t keep you safe while you are out on your own. Too many fucking idiots out there on their own taking advantage of females. {Mahmen was sputtering at our use of language but at the same nodding to what I was saying. She always was against Bella being allowed to live on her own from the start.}

Bella: *I slowly lowered my fork and wiped my mouth with the linen. I was done. Done with it all.* This is total BS and you know it! I can take care of myself, I have for years. You’re suffocating me, both of you! *My voice was getting higher and louder the more upset I got … the anger was building. I pushed my chair back and stood up.* It seems perhaps I should consider moving out of Caldwell … away from your reach. I’m sick of all this Glymera shit, I’m tired of your over protectiveness and I’m sick of never having my own life. I move had enough!! Goodnight mahmen. *I gave a quick head nod. My anger cutting my manners short, and walked out of the dining room and headed towards the door so I could make my way out so I could demat home to consider all my options. This was seriously fucked up.*

Rehv: {I felt my own temper starting to go up with every word she said. My vision flickered from red to normal again, I didn’t need this to happen right now and I took several deep breaths to calm myself down. Neither of them knew the shit I’ve done or gone through to make sure they both have had the cushy fucking lives they seem to enjoy so much. Bella was throwing a damn fit like I figured she would, I looked to mahmen and let her know I’d fix this somehow. Standing up I followed Bella towards the door, felt things shifting as I realized I got up without that damn cane and watched as she left with a slam of the door before I could say anything else to her.}
