A/N 1: Sorry this took so long to get out, I had just a little bit of writer's block.
From Edward's POV
"Bella!" I ran straight to the front door, but because of Alice's screams I turned around. I was just fast enough to see Xavier taking Bella away. "No!"
I began to run after them, but I soon realized that I would never catch them with such an unfair head-start. I turned and ran back to the house, jumped up into the newly formed hole in the wall of my bedroom, and saw Alice standing there with the most shocked face I have ever seen.
"Edward… I tried to stop him… But…"
"Alice, it's now important what happened, right now it's just important that we find out where she is."
She just stood there as I saw a tear run down her cheek. "Edward, what do you think he will do to her?"
"I don't know…. But we have to find out where he's taking her! I do not want to have to find out what he's going to do to her."
I heard a car pull up; I looked out, and saw that Carlisle and Esme had pulled up. I jumped down to meet them, and Alice followed. Esme was obviously worried about us when she saw what had happened. Carlisle was shocked, but he was calmer than Esme.
She almost leaped at us when she started asking, "Edward! Alice? What happened? Is everyone ok?"
"I have something to tell you both." Carlisle and Esme both looked at each other and then we all walked into the house and sat down. "Alice, would you do me a favor and get us all something to drink?"
"Sure."
"Ok, you're not going to like this… Xavier is back."
They were speechless. "And they've taken Bella."
Carlisle was the first to speak up. "Well, what are we going to do?"
Just then, I heard a crash in the kitchen and Alice came running out. "Edward! I had a vision.
"What was it?"
"It was in this huge house in the mountains, you were there, and Bella looked furious. Xavier was standing as the head of a table and you were lying on the table. You looked pretty bad."
Pretty much at the same time when she was saying this, Xavier transferred a thought into my head. He showed me where her vision was, and he showed me Bella.
From Bella's POV
I woke up, and I was chained to the wall of what looked like a dungeon. My wrists and ankles were chained up against a wall, and I couldn't move. Everything was blurry, and I couldn't think clearly. There was a voice in the room with me, and although I couldn't see, I knew that it was Xavier.
It was a little while before I smelled it. There was human blood in the room. Even though it sickened me, my body yearned for it. I tried to resist, and I knew I would pass out if I even got close to it I would probably pass out. I'm pretty lucky that I couldn't move, but at the same time I wanted to get out of there badly.
"Miss Swan, I'm so glad you're finally awake…" I tried to speak, but for some reason I couldn't. "Miss Swan, don't try to speak. Or move. Well, don't even try to do anything. I've injected you with a powerful serum, you won't be able to do anything voluntarily, not even think straight, for hours. And I wouldn't count on your dear Edward saving you, I couldn't even break down this door if I wanted to! Oh, and I hope you didn't mind me having a little "snack" just before you woke up. I was quite thirsty, and this woman did have a lot of "food" on her. You won't be eating any time soon. It must be torture having to smell the temptation but not be able to reach it…"
I heard a laugh, then a door slam. Silence. Then I drifted back into unconsciousness.
From Edward's POV
Alice and I got into the Austin Martin and started to drive. I knew where I was going; I had seen that house before. It was vacant for years, and that's why I never thought to explore it even though it was on the same driveway that led to my secret place.
"Edward, how do you know where you're going?"
"Just trust me."
We were there in no time flat. I drove up the long driveway, and up to the house. We both got out and stormed up to the front door. We didn't even wait for him to come to the door; we just kicked it down and went straight in.
Behind the door was just a long hallway with literally hundreds of doors on either side. "This place is so surreal…"
I heard Alice's words, but they never really registered. All I really cared about was finding Bella. I heard Xavier's voice at the end, we both ran to it. At the end was a big room with swords hanging on all of the walls. Xavier was standing on the other side of the room with a double-edged sword.
"Bravo! Bravo! I'm glad you found me! But you came with reinforcements, we'll have to take care of that…"
A large contraption came up from out of the floor, trapped Alice within itself, and pulled her down into a room beneath the floor. "Where is she?! Where are both of them?!"
"You really think I'm just going to give that information away? You're going to have to fight for it!" I rushed over and grabbed two long swords off the wall and turned to face him. "Prepare to fight!"
