Chapter One

Bella P.O.V.

Never had I been so confused in my life. My eyes fluttered open to a bright green room, causing my eyes to squint and bringing on a massive headache. I sat up straight not recognizing the room. It was very small, about the size of an average bathroom. The tile floor had nothing on it except for me. The walls were lime green, and very disorienting. That was it. There was no lights, no window, not even a door!

"Where am I?" I asked into the nothingness, getting angry when I didn't get a response back. I just sat there for a moment, trying to recollect any memories from yesterday. The last thing I remembered was of me lying in my bed, wondering when Edward would be back from his hunting trip.

"Hello?" I called again. Still no answer. I instantly felt a bead of sweat drip from my neck. It was burning up in here! At least eighty degrees!

"Ugh, isn't somebody here?" I screamed as loud as I could. I heard a whisper back. It was too quiet to hear.

"Hello? What did you say?"

"Bella, it's me," a high voice rang. A wave of relief spread through me, and I looked around to find the voice. I didn't see anybody.

"Alice? Where are you? Where am I?"

"You can't see me, but I can see you perfectly. I don't really know where you are. I don't even know where I am. All I know is that we are in danger. Jasper, you, and I are all here. We are all away from each other."

"Where is he?"

"I don't know Bella, and that's killing me. But listen, I can't tell you much, but I will tell you what I know. In the middle of the night, Jasper, you, and I were all kidnapped here by another vampire. Jasper and I were being held against our physical will to see anything or anybody. It was impossible to escape the grip.

We were all dumped here. We were in the room you are in currently for about an hour, then, somebody named Christopher came and gathered Jasper and I. He put me in this room, and took Jasper somewhere else."

I looked around trying to figure out where her voice was coming from. It was all around me. I was scared

"Now, I can see you, from the top. I am on top of you. I want you to look directly up, Bella." I did as followed. All I saw was the popcorn from the ceiling.

"Now what?" I asked.

"OK, I can see you definitely now. I don't know how I can hear you, and you can me, but we need to use that to our advantage. I want you to touch everything, feel everything."

I did as followed. This entire thing reminded me of two years ago with James in the ballet studio. It was one of the most painful moments of my life.

"Why didn't I wake up at all last night?" I asked, touching every possible thing in the room.

"You did. Then they knocked you out with some gas. It smelled really gross. But anyways, are you finding anything in the walls?"

"No. Alice, I am scared!" I whispered, feeling my knees shaking.

"Don't be. With me here I will make sure you make it out. Don't worry Bella, trust- Bella?"

I looked up at Alice, not being able to see her. The wall. When I had touched it, I created a window. I could see into the next room. I was unsure whether or not they were able to see me.

"Bella, what happened?"

"Alice, look, I can see into the other room!"

"There's nothing there, Bella," Alice said.

"Yes there is! I can see it, Alice!" I sang excitedly. Then it hit me too late.

"Alice? Where's Edward?"

Edward P.O.V.

I couldn't be going any faster down the highway. My stomach was lurching at the lack of food. I didn't care right now. Somebody had Bella. Somebody had Alice. Somebody had Jasper. Somebody was going to die. Whoever it was, they were smart enough not to take me. Or Emmett. They knew we would kill them.

The exit to Forks was just another mile or two. I pushed down on the gas pedal, trying to inch past 120, knowing it wouldn't happen. My cell phone rang. I looked at the name, and quickly opened it.

"Carlisle."

"Edward, meet us in front of Bella's. We have her scent." I flipped the phone shut, and took the quick turn onto the freeway. I was about two minutes away from her house. The radio held no interest for me, nor did the road, or the other drivers. All I could think about was my sweet Bella. If I didn't exist, like I shouldn't, then she wouldn't be in this mess right now. Who knows what could be happening to her? My heart sank knowing that she could be dead. NO! She was alive. I would make sure of that.

I pulled into the tiny two story house's driveway. The police cruiser was there. Charlie was talking with Esme and Carlisle in the front of his house. I could read the thoughts.

Charlie is just as clueless as we are, Edward. He knows as much as we do by this point. I looked at Carlisle, and we exchanged anxious glances.

"Charlie," I said, nodding my head.

"Edward," he grunted. I knew he wouldn't say anything about my speeding at a time like this. "Edward, do you know where Bella was last night? Tell the truth, please. Spare the consequences."

"I have no clue, sir. If I knew, I would be doing everything I can right now."

"We have come up with a sensible plan," Esme interrupted. "Edward, Carlisle, and Emmett are going to look for Bella out of town. Charlie, Renee, and I are going to search town, talk with the locals, etc."

"Renee?" I questioned.

"She flew down. She is in the kitchen right now, sobbing. I should probably go check on her," Charlie said, walking into the house. The door shut behind him.

We all stood there for a moment in silence. Bella's name, her face, her lovely voice, everything about her, was racing through my head. If she wasn't…existing in this world…..how would I end my life? The Volturri didn't go so swell for me last time, so maybe I could walk into a fire?

"Do you have the scent Edward?"

"Yes, I could smell it from miles away. I have a general idea in the direction she was taken."

"Good. So, you know exactly what to do then?"

"Yes, Carlisle. I think I would rather do this alone," I said, not wanting to risk my family's lives.

"No, Edward, you need Emmett and I to come. I, for the brains, and Emmett for the bronze."

Ouch.

"I can take care of myself. I just need to get to her faster, and I wont risk your lives."

"Edward, love can block sensibility. I think it's a good idea if we come. More would get done."

"Fine," I snapped. "Where's Emmett?"

"He is on his way. When he gets here, we leave," Esme explained.

"Where is Rosalie?"

"She is with Emmett. We don't know how she will be helpful to us right now, as she is being stubborn."

"Of course she is," I murmered. I heard a low rumbling from a few streets over. Emmett was here. The search would begin. "Bella, I'm coming. Hold in, just a little longer. I love you, and I'm coming. I love you, Bella."
