The Cost of Freedom Is High

“Bella?” DJ called out, opening the door to the room I was in.

I was seated with my back against the wall next to the door, so as he opened the door I was facing his back as he looked forwards into the room.

“Right here.” I mumbled.

“Have you been crying?” DJ asked, kneeling down in front of me.

When I didn’t respond, he grabbed my face with his hand and forced me to look into his eyes.

“Get off.” I snapped.

“Hey, don’t be like that.” DJ cooed.

“I just fucking failed and that means I have to stay here for another night. I’m pissed.” I hissed at him.

“Don’t feel bad, it’s fine. We’ll go over stuff again, and you should be fine tomorrow.” He replied.

“No! You and Michael are not going to do anything else with me. I’m beyond done. I just freaked out, I’ll do fine tomorrow. For now though just leave me alone.” I stated.

“It’s your choice to train some more or not, what isn’t your choice is not coming upstairs.” DJ informed me.

“Whatever.” I snarled, getting up and walking up the stairs with DJ almost right behind me.

As I entered the kitchen I was met with Michael.

“I’m glad to see you again.” Michael smiled.

“I’ll be gone tomorrow, don’t worry.” I told him.

“We’ll see about that.” Michael replied.

Wanting to get away and clear my mind I went into the lounge room, cuddled up into the butterfly chair and stayed there without saying a word the entire day.

At the end of the day I was placed back in the basement, and I could only hope tomorrow would go better than today had.

I had to stay strong.

12 Hours Later - : 11:30 am

Michael Vampire’s POV -

“He should be here any moment.” I told DJ, referring to William Control.

“Here, sorry the highway was backed up.” William apologized, walking into the kitchen.

“No problem.” I replied.

“So how was she after I left?” William asked.

“She cried before we got there, and for the rest of the day she sat in silence. She in no way, shape, or form wanted us to help her.” DJ answered him.

“Yeah, I know as soon as I told her she screwed up she freaked.” William told us.

“What exactly did she mess up?” I wondered.

“The very first spank with the paddle she screamed out, I didn’t bother going past that.” William stated.

“I can understand you there, we both have our phones on us so just call us right away when you’re done so we can make the proper arrangement for her.” I said.

“Will do, the latest it should be is 10 tonight.” William informed us.

“Sounds good, see you later and good luck.” Dj stated.

He went down the stairs, leaving DJ and I up in the kitchen.

“I wish him the best of luck.” I chuckled, knowing Bella’s temperament.

9:45 pm -

DJ and I were relaxing watching none other than The Lost Boys when we finally heard the door open and we watched as William came up the stairs.

“That girl is something else.” William chuckled.

“How’d she do?” I asked.

“Surprisingly perfect, she’s good to go.” William told us.

“I’m going to go call the house, and see who can come and pick her up so that she’ll be there by tomorrow morning.” I informed them.

I got up, grabbed my phone and walked outside of the front door.

Dialing the main phone to the mansion that the other’s were in I waited for someone to pick up.

“Hello?”

“Hey, it’s Michael.” I replied.

“Ah, this is Max.” Max Green answered.

“So William just came up, and he told us Bella’s ready to go back to you guys. I was hoping someone could come and pick her up.” I told him.

“Thrasher and I are the only ones still up, but he won’t mind. We can leave in about 15 minutes.” Max responded.

“That sounds awesome. We’ll talk more when you arrive.” I said.

“See you then, bye.” Max then hung the phone up.

I walked back to William and DJ.

“They’re on their way.” I informed them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Max Green’s POV -

“How long of a drive is it?” Thrasher asked me, sitting in the passenger seat.

“About three hours.” I answered.

“It’s going to be weird with Bella back, but I think we’re all dying to have her back. Especially after DJ and Michael instructed her.” Thrasher stated.

“Exactly, but you can’t help but think that this whole thing might be a facade.” I replied.

“We all know it’s a possibility, but you’ve met William, he most likely pushed her way over the edge. I don’t think she’d go through that much and not like or accept some of that.” Thrasher told me.

I nodded my head in agreement.

None of us would really know until it came down to that.

3 Hours Later -

“Come on in.” DJ said, opening up the front door to their large complex.

“Is she awake?” Thrasher wondered.

“She had been for about 30 minutes afterwards, but she passed out and now we went ahead and gave her some low dosage of chloroform that will keep her sleeping for at least an hour past when you arrive back.” DJ explained.

“Awesome.” Thrasher replied.

DJ led us into a living room that resembled the one we had back at our place, to find Michael sitting down in a chair with Bella curled up in his lap.

“Oh wow, you guys made great time.” Michael exclaimed, gently lying Bella down, and coming over to us.

“Yeah, it’s a pretty easy little trip.” I told him.

“I’ll bring Bella out to the car and then we can discuss a few last things.” DJ suggested.

We all agreed, and went outside.

Within a few minutes DJ was carrying Bella outside.

“Do you want her in the back, or …?” DJ asked.

“Thrasher is driving back, so I’ll just have her on my lap.” I told him.

He handed her over, and I gently maneuvered her body so that her one arm was around my neck and I practically was cradling her.

“Is the plan still a week from now?” Thrasher questioned Michael.

“Yeah, so that’ll be interesting to see how she reacts.” Michael replied.

“Well we should be going, just to make sure everything goes fine on our way back.” I told them.

“Sounds good, we’ll be in contact with you just to make sure everything is still on track.” Michael said.

“Cool, thanks again for everything.” Thrasher thanked them.

“No problem, we loved every minute of it.” DJ replied.

“Talk to you later.” I stated, getting into the car, making sure Bella’s cradled body was facing inwards so that the direction of her gaze would be towards Thrasher in the driver’s seat.

Thrasher started up the car, and within seconds we were pulling out onto the hidden path back to the main streets. We gave them a quick wave and we were on our way out just as fast as we had come in.

“How’s she doing?” Thrasher asked.

“She seems to be fine.” I told him.

“Awesome.” Thrasher exclaimed.

Once we were back on the roads I focused in on Bella’s angelic and peaceful face.

I wrapped my arms around her, and gently stroked the hair out of her eyes.

“We’re going home kitten, you’re finally coming back home.” I whispered.
