Chapter Three: Highway to Hell
Emmett POV
I still can't move my legs, and its been over 10 hours. I should have asked Jazz how long it takes to where off but it wasn't my priority at this moment. I looked at Bella and went hard, again. Bloody hell, not many people have been able to do that to me. Well apart from Rosalie, but she is different. I have always liked Rosalie, but she doesn't like me because of what I am. She is one of the 'good' ones in here, and the only other is Carlisle. But everyone respects them for it. They are two of the most respected people in here because Carlisle can help people if they have any bullet wounds or broken bones, and Rosalie takes care of people we have kidnapped and us when we are too damaged to do anything. But Rosalie was one of the kindest people I ever met. She just seemed perfect and sometimes I sometimes caught her looking at me. But can't be sure, because she only looks at me when either Jasper or Edward is at my side, so I shouldn't jump to conclusions just yet. I wonder if I take slightly better care of Bella...
Oh god, forgot she was even here. She was still pretty, even covered in bruises. Why did she have to try and run? If she had just come with us quietly then she wouldn't have got hurt and we would have been there by now. But no, she had to fight back and earn herself some pretty big bruises. And she had to shoot me, and that fucking hurt. Truth be told it was a paralysing gun, but still it was fucking powerful. I just hope she doesn't try anything funny now, because it wont end well.
The van jolted, and she began to gain consciousness. She looked around the van as if calculating how she got their, then she looked straight at me.
"Jake, Jazz, she's up." I told them through the grill.
I felt the van slow down and pull over into a dirt verge. I felt her looking at me and when I saw her, she took in my unbuttoned jeans state. But what could you expect, I have been looking at Bella and thinking about Rosalie, so I had to relieve myself somehow, and she should appreciate that I didn't do anything to her, yet.
Bella POV
My dream seemed very vivid. I had a dream that I had been kidnapped by three men. But, I could tell it was a dream because I had actually managed to disable the larger man. So, unless I was a very good fighter, or they were not very good, I had done it. I had managed to get away.
I began to stir and I got jolted. I felt as if I was moving on a road in a car of some sort. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around me. I could hardly see anything. It was very dark and there were no windows. I was also very cold. I looked down at my body and saw that I was only in my underwear. As I began to become more conscious, I could tell someone else was with me. I looked to my left and saw the large man from my dream.
"Jake, Jazz, she's up."
He knocked on the grill as he said this. The van swerved onto a dirt path and lurched to a stop. Why did we stop? I heard the car doors slamming and someone began to unlock the door at the back. The doors opened and I saw the big one with his zipper and button un-done on his trousers. He didn't, did he? Oh my God! He could have! I started to glare at him and he only smiled wider.
"Well, I am a man. What the fuck did you expect?"
With this, he began to move himself down to the bottom of the van. Only with his hands. I looked up and saw Jacob entering the van. He ripped the duck tape of my mouth and clamped his hand over my mouth instead.
"Bella. Do you need the toilet? Are you hungry?"
He looked at me troubled. I shook my head and began shivering. He nodded at Jasper and he walked away. Seconds later, Jasper came back with a large jacket. Jacob began to cover me up and I flinched.
"Bella. I am not going to hurt you, but I will if I have to. Got it?"
That was the second time I had been told that. I now realised that it wasn't a dream. I had actually got kidnapped by three men last night. And I had even immobilised the big one. I nodded and looked towards the big man. It looked like he was trying to stand up. Only to fall flat on his face.
"Emmett, are you Ok?"
Jasper tried to help the big one up. I suppressed the urge to laugh out loud. I was certainly not in the situation to be laughing at people from the Mafia. Jacob looked at me then slowly began to remove the hand from my mouth.
"If I hear you trying to make a noise, I will gag you and not take it off until you eat. OK?"
I nodded limply and he exited the cab to talk to the others. They walked around to the left side of the van and it sounded like they were having a heated discussion. I quickly decided to try and run for help. I could see that we were not far away from a town and I could easily run there in under 20 minutes. I swiftly unbound my feet and hands and decided to slowly make my way to the end of the van. I stood up to test my legs and felt that they were usable. I slowly looked around me and saw that neither Jacob, Jasper or Emmett were near the back of the van. Although in my underwear, I ran for it. I got about 10 metres away when I heard them cursing and yelling at me.
"Bella. Get back here now!"
I then heard doors shut and someone following me. I didn't turn around in case I fell flat on my face. I just pushed harder. I heard an engine speed up and decided to head for the woods. It wasn't my best idea but then I realised that they had no chance of catching me in the woods with the van. I could feel my bare feet getting blisters and cuts from standing on the rocks and twigs but I couldn't care less. I carried on running and was about to slow down when something flew past my face about two inches away from my ear. I screamed. I turned around and saw Jacob and Jasper following me on foot, both with guns drawn. I was about to turn round when I ran into something hard. I stumbled back and Jasper pounced on me. I began kicking and screaming but Jasper decided to let me go. I new that he had something planned, but I just stood up. I began running when I saw Jacob coming for me. He had the tranq gun and a stun gun. He shot them both at the same time. Both missed me by centimetres. Was I lucky? I was about to say yes, when Jacob choke slammed me to the floor. I couldn't breathe at all. I heard Jasper catching up and he helped Jacob lift me up and tow me back to the van. I saw Emmett in the driver's seat. It looked like he was talking to someone else. As Jasper and Jacob tried to get me into the back of the van, I began thrashing and screaming. They placed me on the floor and tied my hands behind my back. They then tied my ankles and gagged me yet again. Someone then threw a punch to my back and I screamed. That was going to bruise. I was chucked into the back of the van yet again and then I saw Jasper and the new comer walk to the back of the van.
"Bella, I would like you to meet our friend, Edward. Don't try anything funny with him otherwise he will hurt you. And I mean, HURT"
With that he left us. I stared at the slender yet muscular man with wild bronze hair. I couldn't not stare. He looked like a God. He had heavenly green eyes and I somehow got lost in them. He wore a bikers jacket and camouflage jeans. If it weren't for the fact that he could kill me, I would probably have fell for him. But no, he was a cold blooded killer like everyone else in this business. I despised him.
"Well. Looks like I am your new baby-sitter. Well, lets get this show on the road." He jumped in the back of the van and closed the doors. Jasper and Emmett got into the front seats and started driving.
"Tell Jacob to be careful with the car. If not, I will personally make sure he has a slow yet painful death. Oh, and could you pass me the Chloroform just in case." Emmett opened the grill and passed Edward the bottle of Chloroform and a rag and sent a small smile my way.
"Watch out for that one. Got a nice body and good looks, but man, she can be feisty!"
Emmett winked and I gagged. He was vile and repulsive. I looked at Edward and saw that his green eyes were assessing me. He looked as if he was buying a kitten. It made me feel weird inside. Like I was being x-rayed with his eyes. I could tell this was going to be a long journey.
Edward POV
I was driving down the road to give Jacob and the guys some help. They should be well on their way buy now, not to mention having called someone to say they have got her. It can't be hard for 3 grown men to kidnap one small girl, can it? Well, I didn't think it was. In the distance, I could see a small yet familiar looking van that had pulled into the dirt tracks. I began slowing down when a half-naked girl leapt from the back of the truck and ran towards town. She didn't get far before Jacob and Jasper saw that she was running away.
"Bella. Get back here, Now!!" I heard Jacob and Jasper shout. Emmett got into the cab of the van and Jacob and Jasper began chasing after her. I sped up my car in order to make her stop. I got about 10 feet away when she suddenly decided to head into the forest. No way was I taking the car in that. I swerved to a stop and when I saw Jacob and Jasper running after Bella, I decided to go talk to Emmett and find out what happened with Bella.
I walked over and found Emmett trying to get some use back in his legs. It looked rather amusing. It was as if his legs had been sleeping on him.
"So, what the fuck happened to you? Fall asleep standing up again?" He flinched when he didn't notice me come to stand by him.
"No. That bitch Bella tranqed me last night, with Jasper's gun. She is a right fighter." He said this with an arrogant smile on his face. I guess he wanted to teach her a lesson in how to behave when being kidnapped.
"So, what the hell brings you here?" He said this with shock and also annoyance. Was he gutted that they brought a big man to do a little mans job?
"Well, when Sam never heard anything from you about your progression with the kidnapping, he decided to send someone to give you a hand and also find out what the heck happened. I wasn't doing anything special because the other girl wasn't giving us any trouble, so I thought I would simply amuse myself and watch you try to bring in an 18 year old Kung-Fu fighter." I chuckled when I said the last part. The way he had been bruised made it look as if she is one hell of a fighter.
"Yeah, well-" He was cut short when Jasper and Jacob came out of the woods carrying a very uncooperative Bella. They both looked worn out and also a bit bruised. They tried to get her into the back of the van, but she began thrashing around and screaming. I walked around and watched them struggle to tie Bella up. It was rather funny to watch. They slammed her into the road and tied her hands behind her back. They then bound her feet and gagged her. She was still fidgeting so I decided to immobilise her and punch her in the centre of a back. It was definitely going to bruise and Jasper looked at me wide eyed. Well, at least it stopped her fidgeting. Jasper threw her into the van and looked at me suspiciously. He then beckoned me forward with his fingers and I decided to get a better look at Bella.
"Bella, I would like you to meet our friend, Edward. Don't try anything funny with him otherwise he will hurt you. And I mean, HURT" With that Jasper walked away. She stared at me in admiration, and it gave me a weird feeling. Then, as soon as a thought clicked into her head, she glared daggers at me. Man, if lookes could kill suddenly came into mind. Ha, she did have some nerve.
"Well. Looks like I am your new baby-sitter. Well, lets get this show on the road." I jumped into the back of the van and closed the doors. I heard Jasper lock them and he then went to join Emmett in the front.
"Tell Jacob to be careful with the car. If not, I will personally make sure he has a slow yet painful death. Oh, and could you pass me the Chloroform just in case." I heard Emmett digging around in the front and then Emmett opened the grill. He passed me a bottle of Chloroform and an unused rag. He then looked at Bella and gave her a small smile. As if he was trying to provoke her.
"Watch out for that one. Got a nice body and good looks, but man, she can be feisty!"
Emmett winked at Bella and it looked as if she was going to be sick. It made me chuckle. As soon as I did, I saw Bella looking at me in a weird way. I then assessed her and three thing's popped into my mind. One, why was she in her underwear? Two, why was she looking at me in an adoring way? Three, why the hell had no one given her anything to put over herself to keep her warm?
"Jazz, Why in the hell is she nearly naked? She could fucking freeze!" I shot him an evil glare through the grill and then went to remove Bella's gag. She flinched as soon as my hands came near her. Good, she realised that she needed to be scared of me.
"Bella, I am not going to hurt you." Yet. "I was only going to remove your gag and hands so you could put on my jacket. If you fight with me, I will hurt you. If you scream, I will hurt you. Basically, do anything your not supposed to and I will hurt you. OK?" As I said this, I proceeded to remove her gag.
She meekly nodded, stating that she understood my conditions. If she did what she was told, everything would go over smoothly. I untied her gag and she muttered a small 'thanks'. I then untied her hands and held them firmly, as a warning.
"Remember, try anything funny, and I will not be happy."
I released her hands and she began rubbing them gently. She didn't look that bruised. Not as much as Jasper, Jacob and Emmett. She must have put up quite a bit of a fight. I chuckled as I remembered what Emmett looked like earlier.
"What?" She looked at me quizzically. I am sure that she realised that now was not the time to laugh, but I certainly found the situation rather funny.
"Well, I was just remembering Emmett trying to get the feeling back in his legs when I arrived. Damn, I can't believe you shot him. I'm surprised your still alive. You hardly even looked bruised." I said this rather proudly. Maybe I found the person that would make my day worth living by actually providing me something to actually do.
"Well, I had to use self-defense. When I get three bozo's in a wood trying to kidnap me, I decided to fight back. Only to get tied up, thrown into the back of a van. I tried to escape, and then I get stuck into the back of a van with a rat arsed, dickhead." And then she nodded towards me. Was this girl delirious? She just insulted all 4 of us, and she was not in a situation to get on the bad side of me.
"Wow. Emmett, I see what you mean. She is a mean little kitten ain't she. Well, sweetheart. You better book your ideas up and learn to keep your trap shut otherwise you wont be able to walk after this journey. OK?" I gave her an evil glare. She didn't even flinch. It looked like she actually had a set of balls.
"Well, like I said, asshole. I don't really appreciate people who kidnap innocent girls and act as if they have nothing to do. Why, your all just worthless pieces of scum." She spat at me.
Now she had crossed the line. I heard Jasper pull over, but before I had a chance to register my actions, I lunged at the half-naked girl. She looked horrified and scared when I attacked her. I just went straight for the throat and she began gasping for air. I held her tighter and tighter. Then suddenly, I was flung onto the road. I saw Emmett and Jasper looking at me worriedly. I stood up and charged back into the van. No way was she getting away that easily. She spat at me! The fucking bitch had the audacity to spit at me. I saw her curled up on the floor and I smacked her straight in the jaw. She screamed and began crying. I punched her again and again. Then I felt Emmett lift me off her and watched as Jasper ran in to see if she was still breathing. Emmett chucked me to the floor and sat on my back. I squirmed to try and get out of his grasp.
"Emmett, let me go! I AM GOING TO KILL HER! GET OFF ME!!"
I began yelling and he started to bound my legs. No fucking way. I heard the back of the van closed and then I saw my car pull up. Jacob and Jasper came to give Emmett a hand and together they tied me up and gagged me.
"Your all going to fucking pay for this!"
I managed to blurt out before they gagged me. They all looked afraid and I laughed menacingly. They then decided to try and put me into the back of the van with Bella. Before they opened the doors, I saw Jasper grab a bottle of Chloroform and a rag. They wouldn't fucking dare. I glared at him. He shrugged and put some Chloroform on the rag. They then took me gag out and pushed the rag in my face. I tried not to breath but it didn't work. I finally fell unconscious as they threw me into the back of the van.
