Chapter 14
EPOV
I don’t know how long I was running, but I stopped when I could no longer hear my family and they could no longer hear me. I feel to my knees and let the emotions I had been trying to keep inside flow free. I let out a roar louder than any before. I was angry. How dare someone try to keep my Bella from me?! I would find whoever was responsible and they would be lucky if I killed them quickly. I was seething, but just as quickly as the anger came it was buried under grief.
This was all my fault. I would never forgive myself and I was afraid that Bella would never forgive me either, not that I deserved her forgiveness. The images Alice showed me were on permanent replay in my mind. I knew it wasn’t good to dwell on what happened to her, but it seemed like a fitting punishment for me. If Bella had to go through, I at least owed it to her not to cringe away from the truth, no matter how much it killed me.
I heard movement in the trees and with no other warning than a slight breeze Alice was beside me. She didn’t say anything, but she was thinking very loudly. Edward, I know you’re hurting. We all are. But you need to pull yourself together and be strong. We need to start looking for Bella and you are more in tune with her than we are. We can’t find her without you. We need you. SHE needs you. She was right of course. I was attuned to Bella. I could pick her heart beat out of a crowd with no difficultly, which would be very helpful in our coming search. And her scent. I would never forget that. I was the best person to look for her if we had any chance of finding her soon.
I picked myself up off the ground and turned to Alice. She gave me a small smile. “Come on brother. Let’s go bring her home.” She took my hand and we ran home in silence. The family was waiting for us in the living room. No one said anything, but Carlisle nodded to let me know that he understood. Jasper wasted no time in catching me up. “Ok we need to split up. It’s likely that whoever took her went north to Canada or east to Seattle. It’s also unlikely that they plan to stay in one place so we need to move quickly. Emmett, Edward, Alice and I will go to Seattle. Carlisle, Esme and Rose will head to Vancouver. Everyone needs to keep their phones close in case Alice sees something and we need to reach you quickly.”
When Jasper finished his plan everyone nodded their agreement. He didn’t have to say out loud why Emmett and he were coming with me. I could pick it out of his thoughts. God forbid we find something bad Emmett and I will have the best chance of stopping him from doing something stupid. I growled low in my chest. As if anyone could stop me from following Bella. Jasper didn’t take offense. He looked apologetic. Sorry, but it’s true and you know that Carlisle and Esme would be devastated if you took yourself out. And Alice would never get over it so you’re stuck with us. But let’s not worry about that now. I just nodded. He was right of course, not that that chanced anything. If Bella was no longer in this world I would follow her as fast as possible.
Emmett was getting antsy. “Let’s go already. We’re wasting time standing here talking!” And on that note we all were set in motion. The four of us going to Seattle piled into Emmett’s Jeep and flew out of the garage. Carlisle, Esme and Rose piled into Carlisle’s Mercedes and tore out after us. It seemed everyone was anxious to find Bella. Emmett wasted no time in getting the Jeep up to a steady 120mph. I leaned my head against the seat and closed my eyes wishing, not for the first time, that sleep could claim me. No one spoke and I didn’t listen to their thoughts. I used the two hours ride to pull my head together. As we reached the city Alice was the first one to speak. “What’s the plan Jazz?” We all looked to Jasper while Emmett pulled into a parking garage. “We split up, Alice with me and Emmett with Edward. If anyone finds anything call the others and wait until we are together. We meet back here in an hour.”
I could have argued that I didn’t need a babysitter and we could cover more ground alone, but it would only have wasted more time. Time we didn’t have. “Emmett, make sure you have your phone on. Just in case.” With a quick glace in my direction Alice and Jasper took off. I knew Alice would try her hardest to find her. Not that Jasper or Emmett wouldn’t, but Alice was the only other one who knew what happened to her. Emmett and Jasper had an idea but no details. I looked at Emmett who just nodded and then we both took off in the opposite direction.
The plan was just to run through the city and hope that we picked up her scent or hope that someone was thinking about where she was. We ran through half the city and I started to give up hope. There was no sign of her anywhere. I couldn’t even have Emmett call Carlisle. They probably weren’t there yet. We reached the end of our half and turned to run a different path back when I froze. That scent. I knew that scent. It was the best and worst thing I had even smelled. It was my Bella. Emmett caught it too and had his phone in his hand before I could bark at him. He spoke too fast for me to follow. I was too focused on the smell. It was my lifeline.
Emmett hung up the phone. “Alice and Jasper are meeting us there. Apparently Alice saw us there and they are close by.” All I could do was nod. We took off running following that sweet smell. It led us to an abandoned warehouse on the edge of the industrial area. Alice and Jasper were waiting for us. Alice looked as anxious as I felt. I could hear a heartbeat inside, but it wasn’t Bella’s. But that was her scent. I couldn’t stand here anymore. I took off and was through the door before my family had even moved. I stopped just through the door. It was like getting punched in the stomach. The scent was so strong. I looked for its beautiful source. The room was empty.
Jasper and Emmett was beside me in an instant. Alice ran across the room and up the stairs to an office. She returned with a man in her arms. “This was the heartbeat we heard. But it’s definitely Bella’s blood. It’s all over the floor.” The man was terrified. His heart was racing. Alice set him down and untied his hands and removed the gag. “Oh thank god! She told me you would come, but I didn’t believe her. She- she what was she? Her eyes…were red.” We all froze. This man obviously had some contact with a vampire and that meant that Bella was in the hands of some malicious vampire.
Emmett started at the human. “Did she say who she was or where she was going?” The man just shook his head. “She hardly spoke to me other than to tell me that when the ones with yellow eyes came I should tell them to play the video.” He looked to his left and we all followed his stare. I walked at a human pace over to the TV. I needed to know what was so important about this tape, but at the same time I didn’t think I could press the button. My siblings were suddenly at my side. Alice reached forward and pressed play. My world collapsed and my vision bled to red.
APOV
Edward was faster than anyone. I knew he wanted to get far enough away to be unheard, but apparently he didn’t go far enough. I heard a roar so loud I’m sure the rest of the family heard it in the house. This was killing him. If we didn’t find Bella I didn’t need a vision of the future to tell me that Edward would never recover. I came upon him in a clearing. I know he heard me, but he gave no indication that I was there. I didn’t speak but I know he heard me anyway.
Edward, I know you’re hurting. We all are. But you need to pull yourself together and be strong. We need to start looking for Bella and you are more in tune with her than we are. We can’t find her without you. We need you. SHE needs you. He didn’t say anything. He just picked himself up and looked at me. I gave him a tiny smile. “Come on brother. Let’s go bring her home.” I reached out and took his hand and we ran home in silence. The family was waiting in the living room. I left Edward’s side and went to Jasper. I saw Carlisle nod to Edward and then Jasper started outlining the plan. I can only assume they talked about this when I was getting Edward.
“Ok we need to split up. It’s likely that whoever took her went north to Canada or east to Seattle. It’s also unlikely that they plan to stay in one place so we need to move quickly. Emmett, Edward, Alice and I will go to Seattle. Carlisle, Esme and Rose will head to Vancouver. Everyone needs to keep their phones close in case Alice sees something and we need to reach you quickly.” Everyone nodded in agreement. I knew why Jazz wanted certain people with Edward. And Edward knew it too. He growled at what I can only assume was something Jasper thought. I tensed for a moment. Edward wasn’t in his right mind and I was worried he might take a swipe at Jasper.
Jasper must have changed his mind because Edward nodded and Emmett set us all in motion. “Let’s go already. We’re wasting time standing here talking!” We raced out the door and into our respective cars. It was a silent drive to Seattle. When we got close to the city I knew we needed to talk about what the plan was so I asked Jasper. “What’s the plan Jazz?” He looked at me while Emmett parked the car. “We split up, Alice with me and Emmett with Edward. If anyone finds anything call the others and wait until we are together. We meet back here in an hour. Emmett, make sure you have your phone on. Just in case.” I glanced at Edward expecting him to argue with having a babysitter, but he didn’t so Jazz and I took off.
We raced through the city moving too fast to be seen by humans. There was not even a hint of Bella anywhere. I kept looking into her future, as well as Edward’s, hoping to see something. On our way back to the car I saw Edward enter a building. I looked harder and I saw the address. “It looks like Edward may have found something. Let’s go.” Jasper didn’t even ask what I saw, he just followed my lead. We raced through the heart of Seattle and reached the location first. I was so anxious to go inside and see her. I didn’t want to wait for Edward to get here even though based on the call from Emmett they would be here shortly. I felt Jasper slide his arms around my waist. I leaned back against his chest.
“I’m scared Jazz.” He kissed the top of my head. “I know baby, but so is she. She’ll need you to be strong for her. No matter what.” I sighed. “What is we can’t help her back from this?” Now it was Jasper’s turn to sigh. “I don’t know what will happen, but I do know that you love her and she loves you. We will all be there for her in whatever way she needs us to be and she will recover from this. She’s a tough one.” I heard the boys coming so I pulled away from Jasper. We would need to move.
Edward paused by our side, but moved inside before any of us took a step. We all raced after him and stopped just inside the door. It smelled so good in here. I knew it was Bella’s blood and I looked over to check on Jasper. He met my gaze and smiled at bit to let me know he was in control. I did a quick survey of the room and saw the office across the warehouse floor and up a set of stairs. I was running for that room with everything I had. I threw open the door and my eyes immediately fell on the person in the corner. It wasn’t the one I wanted to see. He was an average looking man, about 25-30 years old. His wrists were bound and he was gagged. He looked terrified.
I picked him and ran back to the boys. No need to keep them waiting. As I passed the center of the room the smell of Bella’s blood increased and I knew that’s where it was coming from. “This was the heartbeat we heard. But it’s definitely Bella’s blood. It’s all over the floor.” I set the man down and untied his hands and took the gag out. “Oh thank god! She told me you would come, but I didn’t believe her. She- she what was she? Her eyes…were red.” We all froze. This wasn’t good. It could only mean one thing. Bella was being held by a vampire.
Emmett started at the human. “Did she say who she was or where she was going?” The man just shook his head. “She hardly spoke to me other than to tell me that when the ones with yellow eyes came I should tell them to play the video.” He looked to his left and we all followed his stare. Edward walked over at a human pace over to the TV. He didn’t push the button immediately and I knew he was struggling. We all surrounded him in the next moment and I pushed the play button. When the first image filled the screen I collapsed against Jasper. It was worse than we thought.

Time had no meaning. I knew nothing of the outside world. I only knew pain and fear. My leg was screaming in pain, but that didn’t stop Matt. I knew we had moved from where ever we were before. I briefly woke up in a car and immediately started screaming in pain. Victoria reached back and shut me up pretty quickly. I had no idea where I was, or even when it was. Already it felt like I had been in the dark for months. Matt was fully functional again as he was happy to demonstrate the instant I woke up. Actually he had no problem having some fun while I was unconscious.
I could only guess that was earlier today. I had woken up to grunting, pain, and the melody of my lullaby in the background. It took me a minute to understand what was happening and when I did I wished I was still unconscious. Matt was pounding in and out of me and he wasn’t being careful with my leg. If the pain and humiliation of rape wasn’t enough, he was killing my already broken leg. I screamed myself hoarse before he finished.
He took the blindfold off after he finished though. The only reason I knew it was I saw a pool of light when he left. Otherwise the room was as black as when my eyes were covered. I lay on the cold hard floor and waited for death to find me. It had to be better than this excuse of an existence.
Victoria came in a while after Matt left. “Well well. How is our guest of honor doing?” She laughed. “Why are you doing this to me?!” She laughed harder. “You stupid little girl. Your mate killed my James and I want him to hurt like I hurt.” I steeled myself to the pain the next statement would bring. “Edward left me. He isn’t my mate anymore. So all this won’t hurt him at all. He doesn’t care about me.”
“Silly girl. Vampires mate for life. This will hurt him more than you know.” That simple statement filled me with hope. Hope was a dangerous thing for me. “Well if that’s true than Edward will kill you for this!” I hoped she would just let me go and leave me alone. I should have known better. “No he won’t.” I froze. “Why not?” She started laughing again. “Because I left him a little present in Seattle and if all went according to plan he thinks you’re dead. If Edward Cullen is anything like I think he is, he is half way to Italy by now.” I don’t know if I should blame the constant darkness, the lack of food, the intense pain, or the continued rape, but I started to laugh.
“Edward wouldn’t go to the Volturi for me…not anymore.” I still couldn’t see, but she could. She kicked me in the ribs hard enough to crack a few. “I know what I’m talking about you stupid bitch. I am impressed you figured it out so quickly though. But that’s beside the point. Edward thinks you’re dead and therefore will want to take himself out of this world and once he’s gone I can use you to take out the rest of his loathsome family. Now should I send Matt back down? It’s been about 4 hours since he last saw you. I’m sure he’s ready for the next round and I think he even might bring a friend this time.” I saw the pool of light again that signaled the opening of the door and she left, laughing the whole time.
