Chapter 7

EdwardPOV

I had seen Sam on the news when he was put into jail, but I hadn't cared enough to know why, not until Charlie told me. Now here he was, walking into the garage with a hood up, but I could still tell it was him. I watched him with wide eyes as he snooped around the shop. Emmet and Jasper were struggling to get the nozzle of the petrol pump into the side of the jeep.

"No! It goes in like this!" Emmet exclaimed.

"Emmet! If you put it in like that, you'll get more diesel on the floor than in your car!" Jasper said, fixing the hose and holding down the leaver.

"Guys…GUYS" I shouted, coming round to stand by them beside the car.

"What?" Emmet said, looking very serious now.

"Sam is here, hurry up before he leaves!" Jasper replaced the gas hose and sealed up the plug hole on the side of the car.

"One question, who's Sam?" Jasper asked, sitting in the back seat of the jeep.

"Sam is the guy who took Bella, well, ordered her to be kidnapped. Charlie put him in jail and now he escaped and I think he is going to kill Bella. We need to follow him, he might take us to where ever Bella is" Emmet started the engine and we waited till Sam reappeared from the garage shop.

"There he is" I said, pointing him out. He was constantly checking his surroundings. He walked over to a red hatch-back and pulled open the door before starting up the engine and pulling out of the gas station.

"Follow him, but don't get caught!" I commanded. Emmet pulled away from the gas pump and tagged behind Sam's car.

We followed him for an hour and I was sure we were now in Oregon.

"Hey Edward, what exactly was Sam put in jail for?" I sighed and closed my eyes, resting my head on the head rest. This wasn't something I wanted to think about.

"Edward?"

"Murder Jasper. He was jailed for the murder of his wife" Everyone went silent and I could feel I tear run down my cheek. I couldn't imagine my life without Bella. I knew she knew I loved her, but I don't think she realised just how much I loved her. It was heartbreaking. It was like a part of me was missing, because Bella was a part of me. No matter what, I will find Bella. I'll make sure of it.

"Where's he going?" Emmet pondered to himself. I opened my eyes and looked out the windshield.

"Where is he?" I asked, the red car was no where to be seen.

"He just pulled into those trees" Emmet said, pointing to the cluster of trees ahead of us.

"Pull up here, we'll follow on foot" I said. Emmet did as I asked and hid the jeep within a bundle of trees. I jumped out the car and walked over to were the make-shift dirt road was. It was barley noticeable from the main road we were just on.

"Emmet, Jasper, up here" I said, motioning with my head up the path heading away from the road. They followed behind me as we made our way away from the highway.

We must have been walking for about 10 minutes when I could see a clearing up ahead. I stopped and walked into the trees at the side of the path. Emmet and Jasper went to the tress at the other side.

"Keep following the edge of the trees that side" I stage whispered. They nodded and kept going. As I came to the clearing, I could see a log cabin and non other than Sam's red hatch-back. I kept to the shadows until I could tell it was safe to come closer.

BellaPOV

There was an extreme ache coming from the side of my head. I opened my eyes to find myself under the bed for some reason. I placed my hand where I felt it sore most on my head and pulled it back. No blood so far… I crawled out from under the bed and made my way over to the bathroom. I peered at myself in the mirror and I really wasn't surprised by what I saw. There was a small cut in the side of my head and some dried blood coming from it. I tried wiping it away with my hand after running it under the tap. Once I had cleaned my head the best that I could, I went back through to the bedroom and sat on the bed.

Suddenly there was a banging noise from the other room, and someone talking to a strange voice I didn't recognise as either Jacob, Embry or Quil.

"Sam! My man!" Jacob said.

"Hey. You got her?" Said the voice I assumed was Sam's.

"Sure did dude!" Embry said.

"We got some food in for when you got here, and I brought a few cold beers" Jacob said.

"Thanks man" Sam said. There was a lot of mumbling and shuffling. Sam. Oh no. He was here, and soon I wouldn't be. I felt myself start to hyperventilate. I shifted on the bed, waiting for what ever torture he was probably planning right now.

After about half an hour the door was unbolted and Jacob plus a new man, obviously Sam, walked in. My breathing stopped altogether. Sam had a blank expression as he looked me up and down while Jacob glared at me evilly. I gulped and wrapped my arms around my knees.

"Hello Bella. I'm Sam, but you probably already know that" I nodded. Jacob left the room but didn't close the door. I kept my eyes on Sam.

"Get up!" He commanded, I jumped and got up off the bed. He came over and stroked my cheek. I couldn't stop myself and my reflexes swatted his hand away. I instantly regretted it. Sam face turned to anger and his hand came up and swept across my face, sending me to the floor. I let out the breath I was holding as I hit the floor.

"You don't hit me, you never hit me!" He started kicking my stomach as I curled into a ball on the ground, whimpering in pain at each blow he gave. Finally he stopped and I could feel the tears falling down my cheeks. He walked out and I was ready to just die, when I heard the best sound in the world, Edwards voice shouting my name. I tried sitting up to see what was going on. He was no where to be seen. Suddenly I saw Sam, and I gasped at what I saw in his hand…a knife. I closed my eyes and let the sobs take over as I waited for blackness.

EdwardPOV

I had been waiting for a few minutes when I decided that all was clear. There were people talking, and some thumping. I darted over to a window, but I was just a plain bathroom, so I snuck over to the next window. What I saw made the rage build up inside me, and I had to refrain myself from smashing the window. Bella lay on the floor, curled up in a ball, crying. Sam was standing over her, his foot pounding itself into her stomach, and I felt every blow like he was kicking me instead. He left the room after saying something I couldn't hear through the glass, and left. I couldn't help but shout her name, but as soon as I did I covered my mouth and fell away from the window before I was caught. I could see Emmet and Jasper walking towards me at the edge of the trees, I called them over with a fluid movement from my hand, they snuck up beside me and we all knelt down under Bella's window.

"You find her yet?" Emmet asked. I nodded and pointed to the window. Emmet and Jasper peered in and both moved back down out of sight. I heard a growl come from Emmet's chest. I placed a hand over his mouth to shush him.

"Emmet, if we get caught now, it wont be good for Bella" Jasper said.

"He's right" I said, cautiously taking my hand back.

"Well, then, what do we do?" Emmet asked, fury ringing in his voice.

"Surprise" Jasper said, I nodded.

We crept up to the front door and I knocked on the wooden door, Emmet and Jasper flanking me on either side.
