"Please don't do this.' Esme screamed as Aro stood above her. She was lying on the cold, marble floor in her lacy bra and panties completely exposed. Tears ran down her face as Aro's hands moved up and down her body. I struggled against Felix's grasp. My fiancé was about to be raped right in front of me and i was powerless to stop it. I cursed myself for exposing esme to my kind. I had promised her that she would be safe with me. That i would always protect her and here i was standing, as a vicious vampire ravashed her. "Get ready my dear to endure one of the most pleasing sexual intercourses of your life." Aro hissed as he kissed Esme's neck. Esme closed her eyes and struggled to break free. Then when i thought all hope was lost, Edward broke free from Cacius and tackled Aro. Esme immediately covered herself with the remains of her dress and crawled to the corner of the room. With all my strength, i elbowed Felix in the stomach and ran to Esme. "I am so sorry, my love." i told her as i kissed her forehead. Her breathing had slowed and she began to relax in my arms. All i could do was pray that she would forgive me.
