*All original twilight characters, storylines, etc all belong to Stephenie Meyer, I just enjoy playing with all of the characters, creating my own ideas and point-of-views.

* This story is rated M as there will be mature themes discussed although I am unsure at this point how detailed they will be, the original is extremely detailed although I may tone it down and change it to a T rating as I update this in the future.

"Found it!" Emmett's booming voice interrupted us from downstairs and we both pulled away, looking at each other in surprise at the excitement in Emmett's tone.

"We've got a few leads taking us to New York, we're leaving in about five minutes." I spoke softly into the phone and awaited his response.

"New York?" he questioned from the other end of the line. I had called him to update and assure him that we weren't abandoning our search.

"Yes, we think she was taken to a place in New York and have an idea of where she might be." I replied, trying not to give away too many details in case we were wrong.

"Where is it? I'll come with you." Charlie's voice was urgent and I had been afraid of this reaction.

"Charlie, we need you to stay here for your own safety. If Bella is where we think she is we'll bring her back as soon as we can, and of course we'll call and update you." I tried to assure him but I had a feeling he wasn't going to give up so easily.

"Please, let me come with you. If she's there I can..."

"No Charlie, if she is there then it is too dangerous for you to come, we'll get her back but we need you to stay here and be ready for when we bring her back." I said firmly and listened to the pause as he contemplated my words.

"You'll stay in contact regularly?" he asked finally, his voice again defeated.

"Yes Charlie, I promise we'll call you regularly."

"Take care of her, call me as soon as you get there." he said quietly and I again promised him that I would, saying goodbye and hanging up right after.

It was only a few minutes later that I was in the car with Edward, Alice and Carlisle, driving as fast as we could towards our destination, the car not moving nearly as fast as I wanted it to until the sun set and traffic became more sparse.

The car was quiet as we raced to our destination, all of us worried about what we might find once we reached New York, wondering if Bella would be there and what condition she would be in.

"No, no, no, no..." I whipped my head around when I heard Alice's mouth utter the words, her eyes were squeezed tightly shut and her head was thrown back. Edward immediately locked eyes with her and I could see it as he read whatever she was seeing and the pain came into his own eyes.

"Pull over Carlisle." I said quickly as Alice's back arched off the seat and she let out a piercing shriek, her eyes darting open in pain.

"No!" Edward growled out, grabbing onto Alice urgently.

"What is it, what's happening Edward?" I demanded as Alice continued to scream and thrash around, her actions resembling those of someone who was being tortured.

"She's... she's..." it was bad. I didn't yet know what was happening but Edward couldn't speak, his head was now clutched in his hands, his sobs consuming him as I pulled open the back door and grabbed Alice into my arms, trying to stop her thrashing, to let her know that we were here with her... to be do something to try and help.

"Alice, come on, pull out. Please Alice, please come back to us." I begged her as Carlisle tried to break through to Edward, to get him to tell us what exactly was happening, what they were seeing in Alice's mind.

"Alice, please Alice." I begged one last time as the all-too familiar blank expression settled back over her eyes, her body stilling once more. Glancing back at Edward I was surprised to see him still gripping his head painfully as though he was still seeing things that somehow Alice wasn't.

"Edward, you need to tell us what Alice saw just now... was it Bella?" Carlisle asked but Edward didn't move, didn't speak.

"Edward, this isn't helping her." I was shocked to see Carlisle grab him by the shoulders, shaking him roughly before Edward's hands finally fell away from his face, his eyes filled with pain as he looked at Carlisle.

"She's in a small cabin by a lake somewhere. It was dark so I couldn't get a lot of details but she's chained to a wall." Edward's voice was flat and dull and I knew that he wasn't telling us everything that they had seen.

"How badly is she hurt? What did they do to her?" I demanded, wanting him to just spit it out so we could find her.

"She's being starved and is weak, but she's still being stubborn and fighting. Riley was with her this time and he... he... he forced himself on her... she's in pain throughout her entire body." Edward choked out, his eyes filled with venom, his words laced with anger.

The air was silent as we processed what Edward had said, none of us wanting to believe him, all of us just wanting Bella to be safe again.

"Let's go." Carlisle said after a minute, all of us moving to return to our seats, Carlisle's driving faster and more determined than I had ever seen it.

We arrived in New York the following day and pulled into our house to use it as our base and to get Alice settled before we would be going a little further upstate to the property that Emmett had found, the property that we were hoping that we would find Bella at.

"What is it? What happened?" Jasper rushed over to us as soon as we entered the house, all of our emotions giving us away immediately.

"Alice had another vision of Bella... she was being raped." Carlisle said with a grimace and I cringed back at the thought, the idea that she was being put through so much while we were unable to help her.

"Here, let me take her upstairs and get her settled in." Jasper took Alice's still body out of Edward's arms and ran upstairs to their bedroom, the sheets rustling as he tucked her into the bed, telling her how much he loves her.

"When are we going in? We need to get her out of there now." Rosalie fumed, her gaze had turned icy the instant that Carlisle had told them that Bella had been raped and we all knew why. It was a tender subject for Rosalie, bringing up the memories of her last night as a human. She would do anything it took to make sure that no woman ever had to endure what she had. Emmett wrapped his arm around her shoulder but his own face reflected hers, his experiences with Rosalie in their early years making him even more protective of all of the women in his life.

"Where's the map?" I asked as a reply, knowing that we would need to be prepared if we wanted to get Bella out of there alive.

I made my way over to the large dining room table where Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie had already set up the computers and maps, all of the information that we would need laid out directly in front of us. While we all went over the plans that we had made back in Forks to get her out of the cabin, I watched out of the corner of my eye as Carlisle sorted through his bag, making sure that he had everything that he needed to help Bella medically.

"Everybody ready?" Jasper asked as he made his way back into the room, his face hard and masked, his military experience taking over his emotions.

I was about to reply that I was ready when I thought back to Alice laying upstairs in the bed all alone and I felt my heart suddenly clench. How could we leave Alice here alone, what if she woke up and we weren't here with her? How could I choose which daughter to be with during this time? My thoughts were interrupted when I heard a car turn onto our drive and I looked to Carlisle questioningly.

"I asked Irina to come and stay with Alice." he replied and I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, knowing that Alice wouldn't be alone and I was able to go and help with Bella's rescue.

Irina came right into the house and I listened as Carlisle thanked her for coming and explained about Alice's condition before she took off up the stairs to sit with her and we all looked around the room at each other briefly before sprinting into action, not wanting to waste anymore time.

We had planned out our departure from the house so that it was twilight as we left on foot, racing into the forest and following the highway north, on foot it would take us about two hours to reach the cabin that we were hoping had Bella. The group was silent as we ran together and I used the time to pray that we would make it to her before they killed her – either on purpose or by accident – and that she would be able to heal with time, that they hadn't completely crushed her spirit.

"Do you smell that?" Jasper didn't look behind him as he spoke and I took a deep whiff, the two distinct scents of vampires hitting me strongly. We were on the right trail, my heart swelled up with hope that this was it, after tonight we would have Bella back.

"It's time to split up." Jasper didn't need to say anything else and I watched as Emmett grabbed onto Rosalie's hand and squeezed it tightly, the two of them following Jasper as his path veered off from ours, they were circling around the back of the large property while Edward, Carlisle and I went in from the front.

"Anything Edward?" Carlisle whispered as the tiny cabin came into sight and we stopped just in from the edge of the trees, waiting for the others to get into place before we could go in.

"Just the void. It's as though my thoughts are stuck in that same place as Alice's visions when I try and listen inside, even yours are more jumbled than they should be." he said and I sighed, whichever vampire of the two possessed this strange voiding talent making my anger skyrocket and my mind fill with thoughts of vengeance.

"The others are ready. Let's go." Edward spoke just loud enough for us to catch and we all flew instantly from our spot, our minds all focusing, the only thought in our heads was to get to Bella.
