AN: First of all, thank you so much for all of your wonderful reviews! I will try to update as much as possible. I noticed that I didn't put a disclaimer up on the last chapter, so here it is for thw whole story-
Disclaimer: I do not own these characters, the wonderful Ms Meyers does.
EPOV Edward really needs to calm down. -Jasper We'll find Bella, Edward, don't worry. -Alice Take a pill! God! Do you want to wake all of Forks? -Emmett I hope they didn't take Bella to La Push… -Esme All of this for his precious Bella! She'll be the death of us! -Rosalie We will find her, but you must calm down first. -Carlisle I turned around and looked at all of them. They all looked concerned, at least. Well, except for Rose, no surprise there. I glared at her. "Why do you always give her such a hard time? I thought you were getting over that."
"It's hard to like someone who causes most of our problems, brother," she sneered.
"Where is she?!" I slammed my fists against a tree at full force. It went flying and disappeared in the black night.
I lost it there. My hands were at her throat in a heartbeat. Not that it would do any good- we didn't need to breath. I guess human instincts were the cause of that one. Besides, I would never have harmed Rosalie purposely.
Jasper and Emmett were on me in an instant. They forced me to let go, and I didn't even want to know what any of them were thinking. I blocked it out, and sat down on a nearby log, head in hands.
BPOV What are you so upset about? A voice inside my head asked. You finally have what you want, and now you are going to let a few mishaps get you down? You don't need the Cullen's anymore- you're a vampire!
"Shut up!" I whispered to the voice. I did not feel that way, but it would have been a lot easier if I did. It's not that I thought being a vampire was exciting, if it weren't for Edward, I would have been perfectly content as a human. I had free time, all alone with only my thoughts. Now, I was forced to relive my final day as a human.
The first thing I saw was Sam, leader of the La Push pack, coming out into the clearing we were in. The other four, eyes set, jaws clenched, followed him. But that's not the reason a hard shudder went down my spine. It was who followed them- Victoria. The group around me came closer, I could barely see what was happening, but I could hear everything. Edward, Alice, Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper all started growling. Carlisle stepped forward, Esme on his heels. "Can I help you with anything?" Carlisle asked, just barely containing himself. Edward pushed me behind him, a looked of pain and hatred on his face. Pain for me; hatred for the six before us. "We are here to get Bella and wipe you out," Sam stated matter-of-factly. "Then why is Victoria with you?" Esme put in. "Apparently, she wouldn't mind to see one of you bloodsuckers dead either." That was Jacob. We all knew whom he meant: Edward. I stared at Jake, open-mouthed. He had never done anything like this before. The sad thing was I knew he meant it. "If it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get." Emmett said. That's when all hell broke loose.
I shook my head violently from side to side on the cold uncarpeted floor. I didn't want to remember. I wanted to feel the same nothingness I had felt when I had almost drowned a few months before. Above all, though, I wanted my Edward. I wanted him to swoop in and save me from this nightmare.
All of them but Edward charged at each other. I can honestly say I have no clue how long this lasted, but soon Edward had me on his back and we were running out of the clearing; into the woods. I heard twigs snap behind us, and stupidly turned my head. There she was- Victoria running after us, with Jacob not too far behind.
The werewolf was faster though, and soon grabbed Edward's left arm. I was thrown off, and hit a tree. My head scraped against it, and I smelled a rusty mix; I was bleeding. "Bella!" I heard someone- maybe Edward- yell. I was losing conciseness, and I knew I had some broken bones. I screamed, but Edward was busy with Jake, and the other- As the other two fought, Victoria came over to me, looking like she had just done the best thing in the world. "Now, Bella, it's time I got my revenge, don't you think?" I looked her in the eyes, horrorstruck, and unable to speak. I was going to die, and there was nothing my love could do about it this time. She bent down and bit into my throat… I couldn't or wouldn't remember anything after that. I awakened three days later in this room, with very little contact from my werewolf kidnappers.
EPOV
I felt a calming sense around me, making it easier to think, I looked gratefully up at Jasper. He nodded before going over to Alice, who looked like she could pass out at any moment. Not that she could.
I had lost Bella- it was my fault.
We had traced her scent to a large beech tree, which was covered in her blood. But that wasn't the only thing there. Victoria's body was lying limp on the ground (Emmett and Jasper later deposed of it properly); venom had coated her mouth. What if she had gotten the chance to bite Bella? What if- I stopped myself, not wanting to go there. I didn't even want to imagine Bella being dead, but what else could have happened? Her scent had stopped there… That was not a good sign.
Suddenly, Alice made a strange noise and Jasper grabbed her waist to set her down. She was having a vision. I quickly dug into her thoughts, what I saw made me relieved and angry at the same time.
There was my Bella, in what looked like a plain, empty room. The only other thing except her was a red apple lying on the ground. Only, it wasn't Bella the way I knew her. This Bella had an even darker shade of black hair (which was a lot silky and glossier), her eyes were coal black, she had extremely pale skin (paler than normal, for her), her body's curves were more defined, and her face was much more angular… If I were human, my cold heart would have stopped. This Bella was a vampire. I gasped, but continued to stare into Alice's thoughts.
There was my angel, lying on the floor, eyes cast up at the ceiling. For a terrible moment, I thought her dead, but I saw her eyes flick this way and that, so I calmed. She was shuddering with tearless sobs, and my lifeless heart ached for her.
Someone had captured her! I wanted to snap another tree at the thought. The only question was: Where was she being held? Alice was thinking the same as she told the others of what she had seen.
"So, what do we do now?" Rosalie asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Alice, there wasn't anything else in your vision?" Carlisle asked, making sure he had all of the facts before speaking. I was reading his mind though.
They must be holding her in La Push, they think we won't come and get her because of the treaty…
"But we will." I answered his thoughts, looking hard at him.
"Yes, I know we will," Carlisle replied grimly.
The others were looking at us, wondering what had started the conversation. Carlisle looked at all of them and said, "We must go to La Push."
