Chapter 4: Scary as Hell

Nessie's POV

I could feel my heart beating out of my chest as I walked into the giant castle. I took so many deep breaths that I lost count of exactly how many I took. They ran together to the point where I could even it call hyperventilation. I was scared.

I could only remember one other time where I felt this scared. It was on a Halloween night about eight years ago back in Orlando, Florida. But there was no way this could be the same, could it? No. That was very different.

"Excuse me ma'am but what are you doing here?" A young woman asked me in Italian.

"I'm here to apply for the secretary job" I answered. My voice was a little shaky sounding. Even to me.

"Okay one moment please" she replied.

I stood there waiting. Feeling my heart was going to jump out of my chest at any minute. I felt a small, reassuring nudge in my lower abdomen. I rubbed my small protruding bump softly.

My heart tripled in speed when I saw three cloaked figures approaching me swiftly. That's not what scared me though. It was the red eyes that scared me. Frightened me to my very core.

"Name" the man, who was clearly the leader, stated.

"Renesmee"

My palms felt very sweaty. After I had announced my name their interest in me seemed to only increase.

"Come here" the leader said.

I was frozen to the spot. My feet refusing to move for a full five seconds before I found the will to move again.

"May I?" he asked when I was right in front of him.

I had a feeling that he'd do whatever he wanted even if I refused.

"Okay" I held out my right hand and he immediately started to caress it rather then shake it. The smile on his face kind of creeped me out even more.

"Magnifico" he muttered. His smile growing even wider.

"You're perfect"

"I am?" I questioned. No interviews? No anything? Seemed a little to good to be true.

"I'm hired?" I asked him. I was completely in shock.

"Yes we would be delighted to have you join us Renesmee"

There it goes again that extremely creepy smile. That creepy smile when he said 'delighted' was enough to send several shivers running down to the very base of my spine.

"I'm Aro and this is Caius and Marcus. You will do exactly as we tell you without question. Is that understood?"

"Yes sir" I said without hesitation. I could see that he was not a person to be meddled with.

Well that had to be the creepiest interview, if you can even call it that, ever. I nearly ran out of the building as fast as I could. I slowed down only when I got outside.

That had just taken the number one spot on the list of scary things I have ever experienced in all of my life. This was as scary as hell. I never thought anything would top that Halloween night back in Orlando all those years ago. I can still remember that night very clearly to.

Flashback:

I had decided to dress up as a killer whale that year since they were my favorite animals. I couldn't have been more excited to go trick or treating then I was right then and there.

After a lot of begging I had finally convinced my parents to let me go trick or treating with just my friends this year. I was nine years old already I could handle being on my own.

We started trick or treating around eight o clock. It was fun at first until I accidentally got separated from my friends. I got scared and I didn't know what to do.

"Hey little girl come over here" someone called.

Maybe it was someone that could help me. I looked back and saw a very big and scary looking man.

I don't know why I listened. I really shouldn't have listened to him.

As soon as I got close enough he grabbed me. I started to kick and scream and cry even though no one was around to hear me. I wasn't stupid I knew he was going to kidnap me.

The man got a knife out of his pocket and held it to my throat.

"If you don't shut up and stop struggling right now I will kill you!" he yelled in my ear. I was really scared now.

"Put that girl down!" I heard someone yelled.

Even in my terrorized state I couldn't help but notice the god like beauty of this boy that had come to save me. He was probably around 17 years old, had bronze hair, and beautiful golden eyes.

"I told you to put that girl down!"

My kidnapper dropped me. As soon as my feet hit the floor I ran away as fast as I could. I hid in a nearby trash can.

A little while later I took a peek out to see if it was safe. I was surprised to find my basket full of my Halloween candy inside it. I had dropped it when that man grabbed it.

There was a note at the top that said:

Don't worry little girl you're safe now. Please be more careful next time.

End of Flashback

I never forgot that night or that mysterious angel that saved me. I just wish I could've thanked him. I still have the note to.

I had a reason to be scared that night so I could not understand for the life of me why today felt so much scarier when I was in no danger whatsoever. Yet this was scary as hell. I didn't know how I was going to survive working for them for three whole months.
