Chapter 5
Edward POV
I’d never felt so helpless or powerless in all of my very long life. We’d quickly followed their scent outside, through the rear exit of the dance studio. We followed it to the end of the alley to the curb, where it abruptly vanished. He must have gotten into some kind of vehicle. They’d just disappeared without a trace. I growled in frustration.
I said quietly, “Alice, can you see anything?”
She grew very still, her eyebrows furrowed with the intensity of her concentration. She rubbed her temple absentmindedly as if trying to coax the vision from her mind.
After a few moments she said, “All I can tell you is that they are in a car. It’s too dark outside. I can’t see any landmarks or any scenery. Ugh!! I feel so useless! None of that was any help at all!”
I pinched the bridge of my nose, growing more desperate by the second. I said, “Carlisle. What are we going to do? He’s going to hurt her! How can we stop him?” I was close to having an all out panic attack now. My beautiful Bella. My one and only love. She would never forgive me for this.
Carlisle looked thoughtful for a moment. He blocked his thoughts from me, which wasn’t an encouraging sign. He said, “Well, the first thing that we need to do is get back to Forks.”
I glared at him. I would not go home without Bella by my side, where she belonged. I started to argue. “But Car…”
He cut me off. “No, Edward. We have to go back. No one knows that we were ever here. Bella is going to be a missing person in the eyes of the law now. We cannot be implicated in her disappearance. If we stand any chance of finding her at all, we cannot be under suspicion. It will seriously hinder any attempt to get to her if the humans are watching us. Not to mention the fallout that could happen if the Volturi got wind of this. I want to get her back as much as you do, Edward. But without some clues, we have no idea where to start.”
Carlisle was right, of course. He was always the voice of reason. I was suddenly grateful to have his presence in my life. He truly was a father to me and right now I needed the comfort he gave to me. He had centuries of experience and I knew if anyone could help us get Bella back, Carlisle could. We retrieved the car and started the long journey home.
Alice POV
Bella, my sweet little sister and best friend, was in serious danger. I was so frightened for her. The terror she must be suffering from at this moment was unbearable to contemplate. I searched through the future desperately for anything that could be of importance. All I needed was one clue. A street sign. A familiar building. Anything. One measly thing and we could go to her. Save her from the torment he was surly going to inflict upon her. I’d gladly give up shopping for a year just for her to be safe, back with our family where she belonged.
All I was getting was James moving through a forest. He was carrying Bella in his arms and she still looked unconscious. That worried me a great deal. I’d never been to medical school like Edward or Carlisle, so I didn’t really know how long was too long for a human to be knocked out. I was grateful that she was unconscious though. She wasn’t frightened just yet. It infuriated me that we were not there to protect her.
I was barely aware of time passing. We must have been halfway back to Forks when it hit me like a freight train. I was seized with terror as my newest vision played out. I vaguely heard Jasper in the background asking what was wrong. He cared so much about me.
I blocked my mind. Deck the halls with bells of holly… Edward couldn’t see this. Shouldn’t. It would drive him into madness. James kissing Bella. Fa-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la…Tying her up. Tis the season to be jolly… Performing the most intimate of acts. Fa-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la…Bleeding her again. Troll the ancient Yule-tide carol…Then, oh my God. He bit her!
Emotion rolled off of me in waves and I worried about how it was affecting my love. Everyone’s emotions sometimes bothered him far more than he ever let on. Edward was furious, screaming at me for blocking my mind. I felt the lock on my thoughts slipping as my vision concluded with Bella’s eyes closing. I wasn’t sure if she was dead or changing. Grief racked my body as I thought about the torture just inflicted upon my sister. I sobbed loudly against Jasper’s chest. Edward shook me roughly, jarring me from my grief. I was exhausted. My visions were mentally and physically draining. I knew I couldn’t keep him out for much longer. I braced myself for the onslaught as the last wall crumbled from my mental barrier.
Edward POV
I was struck with grief and overpowering fear. My mind was overcrowded by the unpleasant things that could be happening to her. The sheer hatred I felt for James rivaled the intensity of love that I felt for Bella. I was going to tear him limb from limb, leaving his head for the very last so that he could watch as I obliterated his body from the face of the earth.
I focused my mind on the thoughts of my family desperately trying to distract myself from grief I was wallowing in.
Carlisle. I don’t know how I’m going to break the news to Esme. This is going to kill her. Bella is already a daughter to us. It’ll be like losing her son all over again. Poor Bella. I’m not sure how to handle her once we do recover her. This is going to traumatize her to no end.
Emmett. I’m going to annihilate that son of a bitch. Who does he think he is? How dare he lay one hand on my little sister. I’ll twist off one finger at a time so he can never touch her again. What is Rose going to think about this? I know she doesn’t like Bella that much but maybe this will help them get closer.
Jasper. What is wrong with Alice. She’s not responding to me. Whatever she’s seeing must be horrific.
The emotions coming from her are overwhelming. Grief, loss, terror, anguish, love, rage. My influence isn’t calming her at all.
That shook me to my core. What was she seeing? I trained my mind on hers. Damn it. She was singing Christmas carols. I started panicking. If she was blocking me it was really bad.
I yelled at her. “Alice! Stop blocking me! What do you see? If it’s about Bella, I have to know. You’re torturing me!”
She turned into Jasper’s chest wailing so loudly that the car windows rattled in protest. I shook her roughly, jarring her back to the present. She shuddered once and her mental dam broke letting out a flood of horrible images.
James kissing Bella. Tying her up. Violating her. Bleeding her. Then what he did to her next would have stopped my dead heart had it been beating. He bit her. He… bit… her. My rage and grief consumed me.
“No! This can’t be happening!,” I whispered.
I slumped in my seat exhausted. I didn’t have the energy to stay upright. I barely heard Alice as she choked out what she’d saw to the rest of our family. All of my thoughts were with my sweet and innocent Bella. I didn’t know if she was even alive. Who was I kidding? He’d bitten her. If she wasn’t dead, she was changing. Either way, her life was snatched from her.
I resolved right then and there, that I’d be there for her if we found her. No, not if. When we found her. I held onto the hope that he didn’t kill her. It wasn’t the life I’d wanted her to have but it was better than no life at all.
But could she ever forgive me for letting this happen to her. I loved her with every fiber in my being. I’d take the pain from her if I could. Guilt flooded my conscience threatening to drown me. I hadn’t protected her. I let that demon walk right into our lives and snatch her from right under our noses. I should have never come back to Forks. I should have stayed in Alaska when I left the first time.
Slowly, I calmed down. “Alice, is she going to be okay? Tell me that she not gone forever.” My voice broke at the end. I hadn’t felt this human in a eighty years. She was the world to me and without her nothing here could hold my interest.
Alice scrunched up her nose. Her eyes glazed over as she focused on the scenes in her head. “I can’t tell,” she said finally. “All I’m getting are short flashes. Nothing looks very concrete. She doesn’t look like she’s in any pain… but that doesn’t mean anything. She is breathing, so he didn’t kill her. But I also don’t see her as a vampire yet either. Hmm… that’s strange.”
I said, “Carlisle, how is that possible? If he bit her and didn’t kill her, shouldn’t she be a vampire?”
Carlisle looked at me from the rearview mirror. He said, “Theoretically, it’s possible if the bite is clean and fairly shallow that any venom injected into the blood stream could be sucked back out preventing the change from occurring.”
Emmett said, “Why did he bite her at all if he’s not going to change her or kill her?”
Carlisle answered, “He’s marking her, Emmett. It’s a method of control. His teeth will forever be etched into her flesh. Every day, she’ll be reminded of him and what he did to her. It will remind her to never push the boundaries that he will set for her. I’m afraid that Bella may never recover from this. His intentions are far worse than we could have ever anticipated. We may rescue her only to find that she doesn’t want to be rescued. He’s trying to reprogram her, to break her bonds to this family. It’s his goal to utterly destroy this family. Bella is the heart and soul of this family and that is why he took her.”
What Carlisle said made absolute sense. The only thing that didn’t make sense was why. What had we done that warranted such hatred? More importantly, what had Bella done? I knew the answer to that question. She had fallen in love with me. There was no escaping the fact that this whole mess was my fault and mine alone and I had absolutely no idea how to fix it.
