Bella's PoV

"So, what do you think they want?" I asked my husband, as he drove our boat to the mainland. We were both tense from the impending call we received. It came from an unknown number, but Winnie's voice came through loud and clear.

"Mom? Dad? There's been a slight problem and I need you to come get me. It's not, uh, super important but there's someone you need to come meet. Yeah, please come soon? I'm at 123 Main Street. It's a big, blue building. Can't miss it. Go to the 5th floor."

Ever since receiving that call, all thoughts of what it could be were rushing through my mind. It had to be the mafia. Who else would go to great lengths to find us?

"I'm not sure. I don't want to jump to conclusions for no reason. We'll tackle it when we find out, ok? You should stop shaking and picking at your fingers." He was trying to calm me. I had no idea I was even picking at myself from my nerves.

It took a few hours to get there, our anticipation grew higher and higher the closer we got. When he finally docked the boat, I bolted to get out and was anxious for him to tie the boat down securely.

Once we were safely off the dock, we raced to get a cab and gave him the address Winnie told us to go to. Were they waiting for us? How did they know when we'd arrive?

The cab driver was not a well-groomed man. His clothes were tattered and he stunk of smoke. I wasn't sure to trust him with our lives, but Edward didn't seem to have a problem with it. I could see Edward eyeing him a few times, though.

We finally arrived at the blue building. It was non-descript, something you would drive past without a second glance. I didn't see a sign and the entrance was a double door at the top of a few steps.

Edward and I held hands as I took a deep breath. We moved up the steps, slowing down to calm our fast-beating hearts. The closer we got, the surer I was to see Winnie. We'd escape and take her back to the island. Not the best solution, but it was all I had.

Edward opened the door for me and cool air burst at my skin, making the goosebumps rise. The inside was just as bland as the outside. There was no reception desk. There were people moving around, doing whatever job they were tasked. Everyone was dressed very nicely and professional.

We got to the elevator. When it opened, an older man was there as we stepped inside. There was nothing special about him, either. White hair, tanned skin, and him stance hunched.

"Where to?" He asked. He didn't make eye contact, just stared at the buttons while waiting for an answer. Strange.

"5th floor, please." I was confused as I thought about our surroundings. None of it made any sense. Was she kidnapped? Who was holding her here?

The elevator had a camera in a corner, hidden inside a dark dome. I couldn't hear the motors work, but I was sure it was taking a full inventory of us.

We finally stopped at the 5th floor and my heart stopped pounding. He held his hand to hold the door open and waited for us to step off. I wasn't sure if we should give a tip but, as soon as we turned to give one after stepping off, he quickly stepped back in and closed the doors.

Bizarre.

We turned around and took in our surroundings. There was a desk, but no one was seated in it. It was a small reception area. It had no couch or chairs to get comfortable in, so there was no welcome to stay put. I saw a phone with one button on it and went toward it.

I picked up the cradle, Edward following me. I pushed the button and it rang on the other end.

"Hello?" My voice was lost and I couldn't say anything, due to my nervousness. Where is my baby girl and why is it taking so long to see her?

The voice spoke again. "Hello? What do you want?"

Edward grabbed the phone receiver from me and I was so thankful for his strength. "Yes, we're here to see our daughter, Winnie. Is she here?"

"Oh." That's it? We turned to each in confusion. "Be right there." He hung up before we had a chance to say another word.

A sliding door seemed to appear out of nowhere, hidden in the wall. A man came out of there and there was nothing jovial about him. He face was stoic and starched. He had graying, blonde hair that was cut close to his scalp but not exactly a buzz cut. There were aged lines but he held himself straight. I pictured him going to charm school and walking with a book on his head.

Stop! Winnie is why we're here. I need to concentrate.

He looked at both of us, his eyes darting back and forth. Was he expecting us to attack him? Edward's jaw was clenched and I could see the last of his sanity was slipping.

I stepped forward, holding out my hand. "Hello. I'm Bella and this is my husband, Edward. We're here for our daughter, Winnie." He nodded and turned around, eyeing Edward's mental stability. I had to admit, I wasn't sure how much longer Edward would hold out and stay calm.

He led us down an average hallway and we came to a lone door at the end. Maybe there were other doors hidden in the walls, but the only door we were going to use was the wooden one at the end.

"Please, follow me." He opened the door and held out his hand, silently telling us to go ahead first.

As soon as Edward stepped inside, the guy shut the door and locked it. My heart was pounding and all this nonsense was taking a toll on us. I began searching the walls, looking for a door that would lead us the hell out of this insanity. What was with these people?

Find Winnie, and escape. That was my new motto.

A panel slid down from the ceiling and attached itself to the wall. It turned on by itself, since I couldn't see any buttons. I saw Edward pacing back and forth, like a caged animal. This was claustrophobia at its finest.

Static snow came on before the image changed to a woman with flaming red hair and pale white skin. Her blue eyes were like ice. We couldn't see any part of her body.

She began with no pleasantries. "I'm sure you're confused about all of this, but we do it for security purposes. Your bodies are currently being scanned for any tracking or recording devices. This is standard procedure. Once complete and cleared, the door will open and you will see different surroundings. This room moves to another side, which is where I will be. Don't worry, you will see your daughter soon."

The display turned off and went back into the ceiling. I didn't know what to make of any of this. Security? Did they think we were spies or something?

Sure enough, the door finally opened and we walked into a warmly decorated room. It screamed comfort, having a plush couch, a rug, and painted red and cream hues. It made me feel as though we shouldn't be scared anymore.

Edward and I held hands, while we sat on the couch. It was very comfortable, much better than any bed I'd slept on, but I would never tell Edward that, since he worked so hard on making our home wonderful.

Another door opened, once I hadn't noticed, on the other side of the room. We turned to look at who was going to come through it by craning our necks back. I braced myself for more crazy.

"Mom! Dad!" We turned our bodies to her voice. Winnie ran in and hugged us both. It felt good to hold her again and I decided to attack anyone if they hurt her. We held each other tightly, knowing we came so close to losing her.

"What happened? What is this place? Are you ok? Did they hurt you?" I couldn't stop my questions fast enough, needing as much information as possible.

I relaxed when I saw her lopsided grin. "Mom, really? Do I look hurt? No, they've been very nice but this place is a secret. No one can enter unless they're brought here." She rolled her eyes and I was ready to discipline her for it, but there were more important things at hand.

Edward's PoV

Thank goodness our baby was ok! These freaks better have good answers. My wife has been holding my hand in a death grip and, truthfully, I needed her strength, as well. She was my rock.

This whole place reeked of secrecy. It reminded me of Uncle Aro's study. I wasn't sure what to make of it.

"Mom, Dad. I need you to meet a couple and please keep an open mind about them, ok?" We nodded, even though we were frightened of whoever was behind this. Why would anyone go to such great lengths?

She went back to the door she came from and she brought a couple people that I didn't recognize, although they looked like they were familiar to me. She held hands with both of them, and it seemed that they weren't going to harm us, for now.

"Mom, Dad. These are my grandparents. Dad, meet your parents."

I hope you liked it. Cool twist, eh?

Reviews make my day...pretty please? :)
