Chapter 16

Edward was awoken the next morning to someone tugging on his aching arms.

“Get up. You’ve been out of it all day.”

Edward felt weak and he knew he couldn’t fight as James drew him from the bed and led him out to where Emmett and Jasper were kneeling on the floor. Had he really been unconscious for a whole day?

“What’s wrong with him?” Emmett questioned.

For a tense moment, some of the room’s occupants thought James was going to snap at Emmett again. It didn’t happen.

James levelled his dark gaze on Emmett. “He is still being punished for the little escapee stunt he pulled yesterday. I’ve denied him food and water; and if you combine that with the minor blood loss, you’d look the same too. I also suspect his body had developed an infection. I wonder if his immune system is strong enough to fight it off.”

Emmett groaned. “You’re killing him! Please, give him to me. I’ll take care of him. He needs help!”

“No,” James replied simply.

James brought Edward down onto his knees not too far from Emmett and Jasper. He was unable to support his own weight and he keeled over.

“Edward? Edward,” Emmett said, concern flooding his voice. “You’ll be okay. Just think about Mum and Dad and Alice. Alright? You can be strong, baby bro. Show me, okay?”

There was a slight shift on movement from the youngest boy; it was the best he could do. “Mmm,” was the only response he could give.

“It’s time to make the call,” Demetri commanded as he entered the room. Laurent leaned over his keyboard and began to type.

It was similar to the first night of their captivity. They were all gathered in the lounge organising the call with the Cullen patriarch.

“If you boy’s make a sound, the doctor on the other line with have to listen as James hurts the youngest again,” Felix explained. “If you do as you’re told, you may get a chance to chat to him.”

Emmett nodded. Jasper remained as silent as before.

The dialling of a phone through the loudspeaker filled the room.

“Hello?” came Carlisle’s breathless voice.

“Dr. Cullen,” Demetri’s modified voice answered back. “I assume you have arranged the money?”

“Yes! Yes! It’s done. Please tell me, are my boys’ and Jasper okay?”

There was a short silence as Demetri contemplated his response. “If you are asking if they are alive, the yes,” he hedged.

“My-my boys’? Are they hurt? What’s wrong with them? I need to speak to them!” Carlisle sounded emotional and desperate.

Demetri looked over at Felix. The latter man nodded his head and took Emmett over to the microphone next to the computer. Laurent quickly typed away to disengage the voice modifier.

“Dad? DAD!” Emmett said loudly.

“Emmett? Are you alright? Where is Edward and Jasper?”

“Oh my god, Dad, you have to hurry! Jasper’s fine but Edward is in really bad shape. I think they might be killing him!”

There was a choking sound on the other end of the line.

“It’s alright, son,” Carlisle said bravely. “Everything will be fine.”

Emmett was not given a chance to respond to that for Felix grabbed his scruff and manoeuvred him back to where Jasper still was.

“Emmett?”

“Has gone for now,” Demetri spoke again just as Laurent reactivated the computerised voice distortion. “It is time for you to listen well, Dr. Cullen. Are you ready?”

“Yes.”

Demetri quirked a grin. “The exchange will be made tonight. Fifteen miles east of the outskirts of Seattle is an industrial estate. Find Ayrshire Crescent. It is a dead end road. We will meet there at 11 o’clock tonight. Come Alone!”

“Okay! Please can I talk to Edward first? Please?”

Demetri looked down at the motionless boy. “No. I’m afraid he is not up to talking at the moment.”

“If he dies...”

“Goodbye, Dr. Cullen.”

The phone went dead.

“We’re gonna be rich, boys!” Laurent boasted with cheer.

“Hell yeah,” Felix punched the air.

Demetri looked at James. “Go and fix the boy up, James. The other Cullen is probably right. He does look half dead.”

“Yeah, whatever.”

James had to physically lift Edward up and carried him like a small child to the kitchen. Emmett and Jasper watched the process intently.

Edward was balanced atop a chair and James slapped his cheek lightly to rouse him. “Wake up, little Cullen. You need to have something to eat and drink.”

Green eyes wearily opened. “No. I don’t think I can,” Edward mumbled.

“Yes, you will. Now stay there while a get a bottle of water.”
