Chapter 7

2 weeks after Bella was found

It's been 2 weeks since I've been in the hospital and each day actually seems to get better. Each day my parents come in to see either together or one comes in at different times. I was so glad when my mom brought in my Ipod and my Jane Austin books to keep me entertained through this whole thing. If I could I would spend every moment reading my books, but unfortunately I can't because I have to get ready for therapy and today they want me to speak to investigators and I don't know exactly how I was going to do that. I was just getting into pride and prejudice when I heard the door knocking. "Yes come in" I said wondering why anyone would knock. I saw a man who looked like he was in his fifties walking towards me. "Hello Isabella my name is Dr. Marshall I'm sorry for disturbing you, but I need to do an evaluation on you." "Yea sure it's no problem" I replied. He went over to the chair by the T.V. and took out a pen and notepad. He cleared his throat and asked the first question "What's your full name and date of birth?" "My full name is Isabella Marie Swan and I was born September 13, 1987." He quickly wrote it down and then ask me another question "What are your parents name?" "Charlie Swan and Renee Dwyer" I answered him in an annoyed tone. "I'm sorry but why do you need to know this" I asked him curiously. He sighed and said "Well we just want to make sure your mentally stable so I just need to ask you a few questions of your personal live to make sure you still remember." I sighed and turned my head of coarse I would remember everything of my personal lives. Then he got up and said "Well I think I'm done here thank you for your time." I just smiled and watch him leave. After he left a nurse came in and said that I was suppose to meet a couple of other people. I just sighed and layed back down on my bed. I've had enough of this I just want to go home already I'm tired of the questioning already.

When the nurse came back she had another nurse with her and a wheelchair. They helped me out of the bed and had my arms over their shoulders so I wouldn't fall. It's weird walking with one leg it's just like hoping on one leg except that I need other people's help to stay up.

Normal POV

The nurse wheeled Bella towards the conference room which is usually reserved for the staff. Once she got in she saw Dr. Marshall coming up to her and wheeling her towards the detectives. "Isabella this is Detective Jackson and Detective Reed they would like to talk to you." he announced to Bella. Bella took sighed and said "Yea I've seen them around oh and by the way I just like to be called Bella if you don't mind." Detective Jackson was the first one to speak "Bella I suppose you know why you're here right." Bella didn't say anything and just nodded. Detective Reed got up and asked "Bella all we want to know is you did this to you and that's all." Bella just looked at them and still didn't say a word. Detective Jackson let out a sigh and said "Bella we know your scared, but you got to tell us you cut you so you'll be safe if whoever did this to you found out your still alive then he'll come back for you." Bella was breathing very hard when she said "I don't know." Detective Reed watched her carefully and asked "Were you blindfolded or something." Bella began gasping hard to and said "I don't know what happened the last thing I remember was going to my friends car to move to closer and then nothing." All three of them were standing there with surprised looks on their faces. No one spoke a word for a few minutes they just looked at each other. Then Detective Jackson moaned and said "Bella you have to remember something usually with this man's other victims he keeps them up for the whole process and I doubt he wouldn't do the same to you." Bella then snapped her head and started getting mad "I'm telling you I don't remember anything I told you what I remember and that was it." Both the detectives looked very annoyed and then Detective reed came closer to her and said "Is there anything you think you remember that could lead us to whoever did this to you." Bella sighed and didn't say anything for a few minutes before detective Jackson came up and said "Bella I know your confused but try telling us what you think you remember and we'll try placing the pieced together. Bella then groaned and said "Ok I'll try." She rubbed her temples and said "Well I think I remember a brick house with lots of ribbons hanging from the roof and I also think in the basement their were foots and hands hanging around, but I'm not quite sure and then a ditch about a mile away from the house and pictures hanging from the wall in the basement with teenage girls and young girls." As she was talking both detectives and Dr. Marshall were all taking notes on what she has said. After Detective Jackson was finished with the notes she turned back towards Bella and said "Bella we'll try to figure this out with what you told us, but what we need from you is the truth. Bella looked at Detective Jackson with anger and said "What you told me to tell you what I think I remember and I told you and you said you want the truth well what about me my foot and toes are gone my hand is completely sewn and I can barely see the fucking skin."

Bella's POV

That stupid questioning made me so fucking mad I told them what they wanted to know and they think I'm lying to them. After that Dr. Marshall wheeled me into the changing room where a couple of nurses helped me change for my therapy. I was finally glad I'll be able to wear something else other than those stupid blue hospital gowns. After I was finished changing I was wheeled into a room full of equipment. I turned around to look at myself in the mirror for the first time and I looked like hell. My hair was a mess and under my eyes were dark and if I didn't know any better I swear I looked like a stripper. The outfit they put on me was actually combatable it was a red lace shirt with black shorts on which took forever to get on. I then saw a dark skinned man coming towards me. "Are you Isabella Swan" he asked me. "Yes I am" I said trying to sound energetic. He smiled and said "Nice to meet you I'm Nathan Richmond your therapist, but you probably could already tell. I laughed and tried to sound exited, but I failed miserably. He was examining my missing foot and then he said "Hold on right there I got a surprise for you." I groaned after he left mostly because I hate surprises and I really didn't want to know what it was. When he came back he put something on my missing foot which looks like part of my leg I was missing which was pretty bad. "Ok Bella listen carefully part of the fake leg picks up the nerves from the rest of your actually leg which will transport to the mechanical foot and the movements are very life like and it feel like you never actually lost your leg at all." I was amazed by what he said about that, but at the same time a little creeped out. Then he attached the mechanical foot to the fake part of the leg and then he turned a little button on and then he said happily "Go on try it out." I was surprised when the foot moved the way I wanted it too when I wanted to go right it went right. "How creepy" I said as I continued to move it. Mr. Richmond laughed and said "No it's not creepy at all it's actually a beautiful thing and once we make sure everything works we'll put this over the foot." Then he handed me a foot glove and I was freaked out by it. "Thank you" I said handing him the glove back.

After I put that glove on my mechanical foot and for the first time I was able to get up and walk on both my legs. "Wow" I said still amazed at what technology can do. "I'm glad you like it" Mr. Richmond said to me helping me to the walk board. He then turned to me like he forgot something and then he went to a cabinet to get some kind of black cloth. He smiled at me and said " Here put this on your hand it'll draw attention away from your sewn hand." I took the black cloth to see it was a glove with four buttons on it and when I put it on I was happy to see that I couldn't see the sewn marks on my hand and the only thing I could see was my fingers. "Come on Bella lets try your new foot out" Mr. Richmond said to me eagerly. I was surprised when I made it across the walk board with no problem even Mr. Richmond was surprised. "Good Job Bella keep it up and you'll be ready to go back to school soon." I smiled at myself proudly and said "Thank you Mr. Richmond for everything." He surprised me by looking angry and said "Bella please don't call me Mr. Richmond I prefer to be called Nate haven't you realized that I've been calling you Bella instead of Isabella." Now that I realize it he has he hasn't been calling me by my full name unlike some people. "Ok thanks Nate."

After therapy I got the best news of my life I was finally going home tomorrow. I couldn't believe it I was actually going home I even started to cry with my mother. Out of all the days I've been in the hospital this day was definitely the best besides the questioning and stuff. I just couldn't believe it I was actually going home and I was told that I'll be able to go back to school soon. I was just barely paying attention when I was told how long my foot should last before dying and how long it should charge. All I care about at this moment was getting ready to go home.

St. John's Road

"Detective Jackson are you sure this is it" one police officer ask as they were investigating the ditch. "Yes I'm sure this is where Isabella was found and I want you guys to search this entire area for any clues while Detective Reed and I go to investigate some of the locals." After that everyone went back to work while Andrea and John went to check out the house Bella describe. "Andrea do you actually think the girl's telling the truth" John asked as he started the car. "John now don't forget what Dr. Marshall said he said that sometimes the victims don't want to believe what happened to them actually happen so they try to protect their minds by trying to forget and he also said that she's most likely suffering Posttraumatic stress disorder and we should give her time to rest before talking to her again." John didn't reply to what she said and just continued to drive. "Andrea look at that it's the house Isabella was describing. When Andrea looked outside she was surprise to see the brick house with ribbons on them. "Oh my god" she said as she got out of the car. "Maybe it's just a coincidence" John said. Andrea shook her head and said "I don't think come on lets go investigate the house." When they got up to the front porch they peeked through the window to see nobody home so they tried knocking on the door, but no answer. "Looks like no one's home we should try in the morning" John suggested to Andrea. When Andrea was about to agree with him she saw something blue coming from a window that was most likely the basement. "John look at that" Andrea said while walking over to it. "What is it" John asked her curiously. Andrea didn't reply she just went to pick through the window and was in shock. "Oh my god John take a look" she said while moving away from the window. John was in shock as well when he looked through the window. "It looks like Isabella wasn't wrong after all now what do we do." Andrea cleared her throat and said "First off we find out who lives here and arrest him and second get a search warrant to check out the house.

A few hours later

There were partrol cars and other official officer including Chief Swan in front of the old house waiting for whoever lives her to return. After the search warrant was approved Andrea and John went to check out the house and found everything Bella told them was true the foots and the hands even the pictures. "This is incredible after a long decade of tracking down the murderer we finally got him." Andrea said to John as they were waiting. "Yea I know so do we know who occupies this house." Andrea nodded and said "Yea his name is Robert Kelly we don't know what he does for a living except he was once in the army." Before he could say more they all saw a broken down car pulling in. "What's going on here" the man asked in a worried tone. "Are you Robert Kelly" Andrea asked him sternly. "Yes I am what's the problem here officers" he asked her really annoyed. Andrea then went on to read his Miranda rights " Sir you are under arrest for kidnapping and murdering of over 19 young women anything you say can and will be held against you, you have the right to an attorney and if you can't afford one then one will be appointed to you." The man looked clearly angry now and he said "Look you got the wrong person I don't why you would think that I would kill someone let alone kidnap them." "Save it for the judge" John said as he handcuffed him and put him in the back seat of the police car.

Author's Note
