I stepped back from Edward in shock.
"…Who am I? It's me, Bella!"
He shook his head.
"I don't know a Bella. Maybe you've got the wrong house?"
I couldn't believe it. Edward didn't recognise me!
"I'm your wife! Nessie's mum!" I told him.
"Uh…I'm not married, and I have no idea who Nessie is." He looked around me at Andrew.
"Is she ok?" He questioned.
I turned to look at Andrew, as he replied.
"Not really, she's not feeling very well."
"Oh, well get well soon." Edward told me and then he shut the door in my face.
I took a few steps backwards, unable to speak.
"See, your 'family' don't even recognise you. You want to know why? Because they're not your family! We are! And you need to get used to that fact!"
I looked at Andrew. He was smiling smugly at me.
"No…no." I murmured.
"Oh yes." He nodded.
And then I took off.
I had caught Andrew by surprise so he took a few seconds to register what was happening, before he started chasing me, which meant I got a few seconds head start.
I ran as fast as I could, faster than I had ever run before.
I could hear Andrew chasing after me.
He was pretty fast and I could hear him rapidly gaining on me.
And then I heard another vampire joining in the chase.
Jack.
Andrew must have called him for back up.
I sped up slightly. Since I was a newer vampire than them, I was slightly faster.
And then I stopped dead.
I had reached the Quileute boundary line.
Normally I had been allowed over, under Jake's protection since he was the Alpha wolf.
But if the wolves saw me, would they recognise me? Edward hadn't, so what was there to show that Jake would? And if he didn't recognise me, then the wolves would definitely attack. I couldn't afford to have 2 enemies at the moment.
I turned around to leave in another direction, but those few moments of hesitation had cost me, and Jack and Andrew had caught up to me.
Before I could react, Andrew had grabbed my arm and was marching me to Jack's car.
Jack broke the silence first.
"Why did you take her from the house?"
"She's my sister. I can do what I want with her." Andrew replied.
Then no one talked again until we reached the house.
Andrew grabbed my wrist and marched me into the house, where everyone else was waiting.
"You took so long. We were worried. Are you ok Bella?" Emma asked me.
I didn't say anything.
"You want to know why we were so late? Because your darling Bella tried to escape again!" Andrew growled.
Jack didn't speak.
Andrew pushed me further into the house.
I stumbled slightly, and Emma rushed forwards to help me.
She took my hand, but I pushed her away.
Andrew snarled and picked up a nearby glass. With as much force as he could he threw it at my head. My vampire reflexes kicked in though and I ducked. It flew past me and smashed into the floor right behind me.
"Andrew! Be careful with her!" Jack said warningly.
Andrew ignored him, and growled at me.
"That's not the way you behave with family!"
"No it's not. But it doesn't matter since you're not my family!"
"It's alright, Bella. You're just not feeling very well." Emma said to me soothingly.
"No, I'm feeling fine. Don't try to make out that I've gone mad, because I haven't! You've all gone mad!" I yelled at them.
Andrew was getting angrier and angrier.
"Oh we've all gone mad, have we? Fine then! We'll act insane!" He yelled back at me.
He then looked at the floor behind me, where the glass had smashed, in deep concentration.
After a few moments, he grabbed me and marched me across the floor.
As I took my first step, the floor burned beneath me and it felt like my feet were in agonising pain.
I screamed and cried as he continued to walk me across the floor.
I looked at my feet but nothing visible had happened.
However with every step I took, a searing pain flooded me.
I started sobbing.
"Andrew! Stop it now! She's your sister! She's my wife." Jack shouted at him.
"No! She says she's not part of our family so we'll treat her like a stranger! You've been too nice to her lately."
"I've been nice to her? What was the need for you to take her out of the house?"
"You're right. It was my mistake. I thought that when she saw that those people she calls her family, don't recognise her, her memory might come back. But I was wrong. You were right originally to lock her up. That's what she deserves!"
I could barely concentrate on what they were saying. I was in too much pain. It felt like someone was sawing my feet off slowly.
As he took me up the stairs, every time my feet hit the ground, I screamed and cried some more.
"Andrew please, don't do this!" Emma begged him.
He completely ignored her.
He kicked open the door to the bedroom, and shoved me inside. He then locked the door firmly.
I held my feet close to me, and cried.

Rebecca paced up and down, restlessly.
Just then Alison entered. She saw how nervous Rebecca was looking.
"What's wrong?"
"She nearly escaped again! That's three times she's tried to escape!"
"I know. It's quite worrying." Alison replied.
"What if she tries to escape again? And what if she succeeds? We're screwed then."
"But she won't." Andrew replied from the doorway.
Rebecca swung around.
"I'll make sure of it. Now she's seen what I'm capable of doing, she'll be too scared to try again."
Alison shook her head.
Andrew walked over and kissed Rebecca passionately.
Rebecca sighed.
"Why can't I be with you? Why do I have to be with Will?" She whined.
"Because in Bella's family, the gorgeous blonde was with the large, brown haired one. We have to copy it exactly. I think they were called Rosalie and Emmett?"
Alison nodded confirming.
"But Bella doesn't have a brother, yet you're here!" Rebecca said, giving Andrew another kiss.
"Yes, but I need to be here. I'm important to this."
Rose nodded, but unhappily.
""I still think she's quite stubborn. I think she'll try again." Alison interrupted.
Andrew smiled grimly.
"This time I just hurt her. Next time if she tries to escape, I'll kill her."

After shutting the door in Bella's face, Edward turned around and walked back into the house.
He smiled, as from the shadows, a woman glided out.
She was slim, as tiny as Alice and had lank, pale brown hair, trimmed short. Her wide-eyed, full lipped face would make a Botticelli angel look like a gargoyle. She had dull crimson eyes.
"Well done…" The woman told him, smiling.
"Thanks. I told you, that I was a good actor."
The woman nodded. "I'll need you again soon, but for now you can go back."
Edward nodded, and closed his eyes in concentration.
Slowly his face morphed into another man's face. His original face.
"Your powers were useful today, Alexander."
"Thank you. Usually my power to change my face into anyone's comes in handy."
He then turned and left.
A few moments later, the real Edward entered the house.
He had spent all night searching for Bella. He had been searching for the last 3 days, since she had gone missing. How could he have let this happen? He had woken up as usual, and turned to see that Bella was gone.
He then noticed the woman sitting on the sofa.
He frowned. Her thoughts were blocked from him.
"Hello Edward." The woman nodded, acknowledging him.
"Jane. Where are my family?"
Jane smiled at Edward happily.
"Oh that's right."
She reached into her pocket and pulled out a tiny silver key, that shone in the light.
Edward lunged for the key, but Jane smiled at him, and he fell to the floor writhing in obvious agony.
Jane stopped after a few minutes.
"Enough. Follow me." She instructed.
Edward was still for a few seconds, but then sprang to his feet and followed Jane up the stairs.
Jane pointed inside a bedroom.
Through the glass door, Edward could see his family. They all looked tense and worried, but healthy. Jane opened the door, and Edward rushed inside towards Nessie.
Before anyone could react and escape, Jane had shut the door and locked it again.
"Why are you doing this?" Edward asked her.
"Revenge. You escaped the clutches of the Volturi. You and Alice."
"You didn't see this?" Edward asked Alice.
She shook her head sadly.
"I was only watching Aro's decisions. He doesn't know about this."
Edward sighed in frustration.
"What have you done with Bella?" Edward asked Jane angrily.
"Oh, she's…fine."

My feet were still in searing pain.
A few hours after I had been locked in this bedroom again, Emma had come in quietly.
She was now slowly putting ice on my feet. I flinched every time she touched them.
"I know it hurts, honey, but we've all felt Andrew's anger in the past. Especially you. Being his sister, he's the most protective over you."
I shook my head, sadly.
"The people I recognise refuse to recognise me. And the people I don't recognise are forcing me to recognise them."
Just then Jack came into the room. He stopped when he saw that Emma was here.
"Uh…Emma."
Emma smiled at him, and left the room.
I didn't miss the fact that she locked the door behind her.
So even she didn't trust me.
Jack got into the bed next to me.
I turned away from him.
"I'm…sorry for what Andrew did to you."
I didn't reply.
"Please remember me, Bella. I love you."
I closed my eyes tightly and didn't say a word.
He sighed and switched off the light.
I lay there in the darkness, just wishing that this would all end.
