Human Pet Chapter 2
Edward POV
The flight seemed to last forever. Every second that I was away from my love seemed like an eternity. I didn’t feel like myself without her. Incomplete. We were truly two halves of the whole. She was the sun while I was the moon. Just like the moon orbiting the sun, I orbited her. She was my everything. I’d only thought that I was living before she entered my life. Now I knew that I was just existing. I didn’t truly care about anything. Sure, I loved my family, but that love paled in comparison for what I felt for her. She was the light in my day. There wasn’t anything that I wouldn’t do for her. I had to make her safe once more. I was furious with myself for putting her in danger in the first place. If I’d been a little stronger, been less selfish, then she’d be in Forks right now enjoying spring break. But I needed her. I was drawn to her like a moth to the flame of a candle. As much as I struggled, as much as I fought against it, I kept getting pulled in. She was like a Siren from Greek mythology. Her blood called to me. Her scent. Her very being. Her soul. It was unfair. She was in danger from my mere presence. I refused to believe as Alice believed. That Bella was destined from birth to be a vampire. That would also mean that she was destined to be damned. And I refused to believe that. She was too good for that to be true. The plane started to descend and I almost felt like I was channeling Alice. I was almost bouncing out my seat with excitement. In a few moments we’d be reunited. This was the longest time I’d been away from Bella since I gave in to my feelings toward her.
I could tell that something was dreadfully wrong as soon as the plane touched down onto the tarmac. I scanned for Alice and Jasper’s thoughts trying to pinpoint their location in the vast airport. I was also hoping to get a glimpse of my love in their minds. Damn it. Alice was translating The Battle Hymn of the Republic into Arabic. She only did things like that when she was hiding something from me. I switched to Jasper. His thoughts were more worrisome. I’m sorry, Edward. I let everyone down. I got off the plane in a near panic. I saw Jasper and Alice on the far side of the terminal. Alone. If my heart had been beating it would have stopped right then. Where was she? Before I knew what I was doing, I had Jasper by the neck pinned against the wall.
“Where is she?,” I hissed.
Jasper said, “I’m sorry Edward. I don’t know how she got away from me.” From his mind, I saw Bella entering a bathroom while he waited. She never came back.
Edward. Let him go. Carlisle was pleading with me in his mind. We can’t be seen like this. If we are detained then we can’t begin to try and find Bella. It’s not his fault. Keep the secret.
I let Jasper go immediately and stepped away from him. “I’m sorry Jasper,” I apologized. “I don’t know what came over me.” Alice walked over to me and pulled something out of her bag. She said, “Bella gave me this to give to her mother, but I think it’s for you.” She handed me an envelope.
I tore it open and read it quickly. Oh, no! How could she? Why would she go to him? She had to know that he would surely kill her. My heart ached at the thought of losing her. That silly girl thought that James had her mom. Of course he didn’t, but Bella was such a bad liar that she believed anyone with the least bit of skill. Alice grew very still all of a sudden, her eyes focused on something far away in her mind’s eye. I delved into her mind so I could see what she was seeing. It was a room full of mirrors. James with Bella pressed against the wall kissing her. I growled with rage.
She said, “I know where she is.”
We raced outside, hardly able to keep up our human pretenses. Alice stole a car and we sped off to get her. It was a race against time. I just knew in my heart that we’d be too late. As good as she smelled to all of my kind, I knew James would kill her. My body shook as I dry sobbed in the backseat. I’d never be able to go on without her. If she was dead, then I’d find a way to die too. I knew from Carlisle’s experience that we didn’t die easily. But Carlisle didn’t know about the Volturi when he attempted to take his life. I decided that if Bella was dead, if we failed to save her, then I was going to make the trip to Italy. I wouldn’t be parted from her. Even in death.
We careened around the corner onto 58th St. Alice shouted, “Go, Edward!” I flung myself from the car nearly wrenching the door off its hinges. I reached the door in seconds. God, I could smell her. Her lovely scent causing my throat to erupt in a fireball of pain. I pulled the door open, breaking the frame in the process. The room was empty. She had been here with him, but their scents were fading. I walked forward and caught a whiff of blood in the air. Bella’s blood. Her mouthwatering freesia bouquet. If I could vomit, I would have right there. Bella was hurt. Bleeding.
The rest of my family rushed into the room. Carlisle said, “Where did they go?”
Then I saw it. A camcorder beside the TV across the room. I could smell his scent on it. I growled. There was a note stuck to it. Watch me, was the message. I picked up the camera and brought it over to Carlisle. My hands were already shaking. I had no doubt that when I saw what he had done to her that I would shatter the fragile lead we had on Bella’s whereabouts. We needed to see the whole tape to look for clues to try to find her. I wouldn’t be able to control my reactions or my emotions. Thousands of horrible thoughts flooded my head, all depicting the terrible things he might have done to her while Carlisle rewound the tape. I’d never forgive myself for letting Bella down. I’d swore to protect her and I’d failed.
Carlisle pushed the play button. It made my heart ache to see her in such a predicament. She was the bravest person that I knew. She had knowingly walked into death’s arms so she could save her mother. Warring with her bravery was terror. She had served herself up on a silver platter for James and she tried not to let him see that she was scared, but I knew her better than that. I could tell from the expression in her eyes and from the way she held her body. She also undoubtedly wanted to shield us from the pain of watching her tremble in fear. She always thought about everyone’s needs before her own. She was totally selfless and she didn’t deserve this. I didn’t deserve her.
James was talking to her conversationally. That must be part of his game. He liked to lull his prey into a false sense of security. I was tired of his bravado already. Bella saw through his act and she wasn’t letting her guard down. He was trying to goad us into hunting him. He was crazy. Nothing on this planet could have deterred us. Of course Bella didn’t want us to, probably afraid that one of us would get hurt. She could never concept the fact that we didn’t need protecting, that she did. There was no way that we would let James get away with this. No matter how it ended.
He started spelling his plans out to her. He said, “You know, Bella, my original plan had been to torture and drain you, leaving your mangled body for them to find. But I’ve come up with a much better idea. One that is sure to get your coven to hunt me.”
What could possibly infuriate us more than her tortuous death? I was afraid to find out. I could see the tears in her eyes, but she didn’t cry. Afraid that it might hurt me when I saw this tape. I moaned with grief. I wasn’t good enough for her. She deserved someone better than me.
James continued his rant. “I think I’m going to make you my pet. A human pet.”
I growled in rage. I’d heard of vampires doing such things, but it was barbaric. What kind of sick, twisted monster was he? I’ll admit that the thoughts he’d had that day in the meadow were disturbing, but nothing worse than the normal thoughts that I’d heard from my kind while they were in hunting mode. This was something altogether more perverse. I shuddered when I thought of what Bella might have to endure at his sadistic hands.
He droned on, “You see, your blood sings to me.” She sings to him! Disaster really did follow her around. How had he restrained himself? I remembered that day in biology. I was crazed from her scent and the burning thirst that it engendered. I was so lost in my memories that I almost missed the last part of his diatribe.
“But to kill you now would be wasteful. I’d only get to taste you once. If I take you with me, let you live, then I could taste you over and over again. Maybe even taste you in more ways than one.”
A strangled cry of unadulterated fury erupted from me. He wouldn’t dare. My angel, my Bella. I watched helplessly as she lost her composure, the tears she’d fought to contain cascading down her face. She had understood the double meaning of his words. She had obviously remembered the discussions we’d had on the subject and how very dangerous it could be for her.
I was positively shaking with rage as I watched him press his body against hers. It was Alice’s vision in the airport replayed on the small screen. I could tell that Bella was repulsed by him but she didn’t attempt to fight him. I was thankful that she kept her wits. She didn’t need to be causing herself unnecessary damage.
My mind was moving at the speed of light. I had to find her before… I couldn’t even think the words. If it didn’t physically kill her, it would psychologically and emotionally. She was strong but this was something that she might not ever recover from. My mind was racked with grief and guilt because it was all my fault that she was in this position.
I didn’t think that I had it in me to get any more enraged than I already was until he spoke about how warm and soft she was. Then describing how she tastes. I could still taste her on my own lips. Then he told her to say goodbye. This last image of her would haunt my existence forever. I’d never felt so inadequate in my whole damned life. I’d totally and utterly failed her. She’d put her faith and trust in me and I’d let her down. She looked at the camera, her tears forming small rivulets as they cascaded down her lovely cheeks. “I’m sorry, Edward. I love you. Goodbye,” she whispered.
Then he hit her moving so fast that the camera hadn’t even caught his movement. She didn’t know what had happened. She slumped to the floor with a dazed look on her face. I hissed with rage. How dare he lay one finger on her.
Then he was speaking again. Taunting us. “You know, this has worked out far better than I’d originally planned. I know that you will hunt for us. But I assure you, it won’t be easy. I’m a tracker, as I’m sure you already know. You also know that every time you get close, I’ll know. I wouldn’t be surprised if it took years to find us. By then, would she really be worth saving? Humans are so easily broken, mind and body.” He let his hand trail up her thigh, laughing darkly at the inflection of his last words. I growled yet again. Of course she was worth saving. I’d never stop looking until I had her safe in my arms again.
He looked at her face and I could see the possessive look in his eye. In his mind, she already belonged to him. Then, using his fingernail, he sliced her arm. I moaned in agony as he lapped the blood from the gash. I had to find her. She would be just an empty shell if this continued for too long.
He pulled himself away from her arm. He swept her long mahogany locks away from her face. He said, “Of course, she is beautiful. After awhile, when I show her how much better off she is with me, I may just make her my mate. She wouldn’t even remember you. I’m sure I’ll be seeing you Edward.” The tape stopped.
My body sank to the floor. Words can’t describe the agony that I was experiencing. The reason that I existed was in mortal danger. I hadn’t prevented it. I may as well have killed her myself. After all that, she’d said that she still loved me. I said, “What do we do, Carlisle? How do we find her?” He said, “James was right, Edward. Every time we get close, he’s going to know. He can find things, but he can also not want to be found.” Carlisle looked grieved for a moment. Then a look of ferocious determination replaced it. He said confidently, “I don’t know, son. I don’t know, but we will get her back.”
