Miriam
I found myself being shaken awake by Kira. Her face was full of alarm I couldn't place. Aro was nowhere in sight, the electricity I felt with his nearness was gone as well. With a sigh, I got out of the bed before Kira could shake me again.
Aro The knock on the door alerting us that it was time to prepare for battle came sooner than I had wanted. I wished I could laze in the bed with my mate for eternity, but the vampire threat had to be eliminated first.

My body was screaming in pain against the bite of the iron that was still binding me, but it was nothing compared to the pain in my heart.

CRACK! I had delivered almost one hundred lashes to his back; he had only grunted as each landed. My arm was tiring, and I could tell from the way his head and shoulders were beginning to sag that I had achieved my first goal. He would listen to my story as he knelt in a pool of his own blood. I set the whip aside and moved in front of him. “Now you will listen.” I whispered as I lifted his face to me.*Flashback* “Katherine, this is madness! You can’t do this; they will kill you!” My voice
