Disclaimer: nope, nothing has changed…

EPOV

We ran and we kept running until we got right outside the factory. We stopped about a hundred yards from the building and tried to think of a way to get her out.

"We need a plan, but it's going to be hard without seeing the situation." Carlisle said.

We all knew it was true, but none of us wanted to admit that we had no idea how to get Bella out without putting her in danger.

"Well, what we do know is that we can't let James get away. He'd only come after her again. We also know that she isn't going to be in the best of shape, so we need to be as prepared as we can be for that." Carlisle said, counting off these pints on his fingers.

EDWARD!!!

The force of this thought sent me flying. I crashed against a tree and had to sit there with my eyes closed for a few seconds to get my bearings.

In a flash my family was beside me. Carlisle had his hand on my shoulder, keeping me from falling forward. I wasn't really hurt that bad, but it still shocked me that someone's thoughts had that severe of an effect on me.

"What WAS that?" Alice asked, looking at me curiously.

I tried to remember what the thought was. I really didn't have time to register what was being said before I hit the tree. I knew the voice was familiar, but I couldn't place it immediately. I was still too out of it.

"Give him a second, Alice. Even for him that had to have done a little damage. Just look at the tree!" Carlisle said, going into doctor mode. "Don't worry, you'll heal pretty fast from it."

I put my hands on the trunk behind me and slowly got up. Esme put her hand on my elbow and Carlisle did the same. I turned around to look at what he was talking about, but didn't even see the tree. That turned out to be his point.

I had hit that tree so hard that it snapped right at the point of impact. There was only about six feet of what used to be a forty foot tree still in the ground. I hadn't even heard it fall.

"WOW!" Emmet whispered. "Yup, that one MUST have hurt. Anyway, you all straightened out up there yet?" He pointed at my forehead.

"Yes, Emmet, I'm fine. Thank you for asking."

"Yup. He's fine. So, who was that?"

Immediately I remembered who it was.

"Guys, that was Bella. She screamed my name. We have to get in there. Now."

They just stared at me. Finally, Alice broke the silence.

"H-How was that Bella? You've never been able to hear her before!"

"That's all the more reason why we have to get her out of there. It has to be bad if I was able to hear her thoughts."

We all turned towards the factory and thought.

"Oh! I know!" Jasper said. "He'll probably not be expecting Esme or Carlisle, right? So the five of us should go through the front as a distraction, while they go to the back and see if they can get Bella. Even if they can't get to her, they will be blocking James in."

We just stared at him for a few seconds, thinking about what he said.

"Jasper, that's brilliant!!!" Alice yelled, jumping at him and kissing him.

"Yeah, that's perfect. So everyone knows what to do, right?"

"Yes." Carlisle, Esme, Rose, and Jasper said.

Emmet and Alice saluted me and said, "Sir, yes, Sir!"

I smiled. They were always trying to lighten the situation. "Alright, let's go!"

BPOV

He was still near my neck, and I was too scared to move. I looked at him through the corner of my eye. He seemed to be listening to something. Then he looked at me.

"Huh…Guess our time together is over, which means…so is your time!"

With that, he wrenched the poker out of my arm. Then he put the blade to my neck and I felt it slowly cut into my skin. I flinched as it went deeper and deeper.

"You know, I AM surprised he didn't take you. Your blood smells so goo-"

CRASH!!!

He took the blade away and looked towards the doors, which were now half off their hinges. There was a silhouette visible in the dust and weak light. It was huge.

It was Emmet.

"Bella!!!" I heard five voices yell at once. I started to slip down the side of the girder with relief.

James grabbed me by my throat again and lifted me back up. I couldn't move my arms up to try to relieve any of the pressure. His grip was just tight enough that I wasn't comfortable.

They ran and stopped a short distance away. They stared at the situation with shocked looks on their faces. Simultaneously, all of those shocked faces turned furious.

"Let. Her. Go." Edward said. He was really pissed. His golden eyes were boiling with rage.

James didn't move. Edward took a step forward and James tightened his grip.

"Not a good idea. You come any closer and I'll break her little neck. So back up and I'll loosen my grip."

Edward looked so conflicted. I know he wanted to get this guy off me, but he didn't want to see me hurt anymore either. Eventually he backed up and James loosened his grip.

"Bella…I'm so sorry. You shouldn't have been brought into this…" Edward said. I couldn't say anything so I just smiled as much as I could.

"Oh, how sweet…But we know that as soon as you started liking her she was involved," James sneered. "This much love calls for something special."

He looked at me for a second and said, "Bella, dear, will you hold this?"

He thrust his blade into my stomach.

I gasped and a growl ripped from Edward's throat.

"You bastard!"

"Yes, yes I am. But I'm not done yet."

He reached over to the bench and grabbed another blade. This one was longer on curved towards the end.

"This one is my favorite. Don't you like it, Bella? The sides are so smooth…" He rubbed it against my neck so that it nicked the unhurt side.

"Stop!" Alice, Rosalie, Jasper, and Emmet yelled.

"Be careful…Edward didn't give you permission to speak…" James sneered.

Edward growled again. James still had the blade to the side of my throat and I could feel the blood running down both of my arms and from both of the wounds on my neck.

"Well, where should this one go, Bella? It's not like there are very many places left…"

He looked down and I followed his gaze as good as I could. He looked straight at the leg that was holding me up. He straightened up again and saw me looking down.

"So you do know what I'm planning! Well, I won't keep you waiting."

He let go of his hold on my throat and used both hands to drive his blade into my thigh. I collapsed on the ground, gasping for the breath I couldn't seem to catch. My vision started to get fuzzy again, and I blinked to try to clear it.

"BELLA!!!" I heard them all scream.

James started laughing and they all started to growl at him. I heard more than saw him crouch down next to me. I heard someone else take a step and James's hand started turning the blade that was still in my stomach.

I screamed from the pain.

The pressure was gone a few seconds later, but I couldn't see what happened. I couldn't see anything but black anymore and there was a soft ringing in my ears that was drowning out all the noise. I just laid there. I didn't have enough strength to do anything.

I felt myself fading into something that felt like sleep and didn't fight it…
