Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT (THOUGH I DO WISH I OWNED EDWARD) (JASPER WOULD BE OK TOO)

Bella POV

I woke up in a large, soft bed. My head was throbbing uncontrollably and my heartbeat was frantic. I was still wearing my boy clothes but my hat was no longer on my head. So they knew I wasn't a boy.

The door opened slowly and a man came in.

"Are you all right?" he asked. He was beautiful. His eyes were as green as a forest and his red hair was messed up to the point of perfection. I merely nodded. His hard face though, showed no emotion.

"Good. I'm…" he trailed off. "What do I call you?"

"Umm… B-Bella," I stuttered. "W-What about y-you?"

"Edward." I half expected something like "master" but made no comment.

"Bella," he said, "don't try to run away. The only other place to go is into the ocean and I kept you alive for a reason." I shuddered and then nodded. How could I not try to run away from my captor? He killed my father and didn't kill me, leaving me to live the rest of my life in misery.

"Will I ever be umm… released?" I asked, timidly.

He shook his head. "No."

"Why?" I knew I would never see my father but I wanted to be free again.

"Because," he said, his husky voice dropping an octave, "You are mine." I began to tremble after that and he wrapped his arms around me. He didn't say anything else. Why did he care about me so? He could have killed me. He had the chance.

"Get off of me," I said, pushing his arms away and curling up in the furthest corner of the bed, away from him. He didn't move. He didn't say anything. Why couldn't he at least say something? After what seemed like hours, he stood up.

"You're safest in my room. Pl-," he cut himself off. "Don't leave." Then, he left.

I waited. Of course I waited. What else was there for me to do? I felt the ship rock violently. We must have been in a storm. Then his words caught up with me.

The only other place to go is into the ocean. The only other place to go is into the ocean.

Then I knew what I had to do.

******

I tried my very best to quietly exit the room. Every floorboard on the ship creaked and no doubt the stairs would be worse. Still, even my quietest of footsteps seemed to make a booming echo. I passed bunks of men who had legs and arms hanging off the edge. I finally got to the top deck and for a minute stood there in the raging storm. Waves splashed onto the side of the ship and rain came down like the end of the world.

I moved over to the railing of the ship and stepped carefully onto it. I readied myself for death, if that was even possible. I would never be completely ready for death. But as I started to make the lethal jump, two hands grabbed my ankles.

"I thought I told you to not run away!" he's voice shouted. He brought my ankles closer to him, causing me to collapse and hit every part of my body on the ship's railing. I twisted my two legs, trying to get him to let go. He moved his hands up to my waist and pulled me under him. I frantically hit him anywhere I could reach but he grabbed my wrists and flung me into a mast. Every part of my body ached and bled. My head was bleeding and my arms were scratched. I tried to stand up and fell again. I crawled along the floor before Edward reached for me again. I screamed.

"Let go of me!" I shouted as he grabbed my waist again. "You bastard!" I kicked him in the groin and used the rest of my energy to run to the other side of the ship. Edward stood up again and came after me, but the storm sent a violent wave over the deck and washed me overboard. The cold water was like a splash of reality. There was no way I was going to live now. I would die of either the cold or I would drown, but I would see my mother and father again. Suddenly, death didn't seem so bad anymore.

So, Bella's first suicide attempt. Your reviews were awesome guys and I hope I live up to your expectations. Do you want the next chapter to be from Edward's POV? Ten more reviews and i'll update. It's a bit short and i'm sorry. i had to finish it in a hurry.
