Okay this is now beta'd...I found my beta she was hiding under a rock. So Leave lots of love!

Chapter 8: The devil went down to Georgia.

Bella Pov-

Ugh what the hell happened? I thought as I opened my eyes. Where am I? I looked around. I was in a small room with a single bed that I was currently occupying. The walls that confined me to my prison were a light shade of green that totally didn't suit wood flooring. What the hell, I wondered. Why does this room look awfully familiar. I got up and tried the door, expecting it to be locked but I was shocked to find that it wasn't. What kind of prison is this? I thought. I opened the dooer and peered outside,seeing that it lead into a hallway.

"Hello?" I called. My throat a little scratchy and my voice rough, probably due to the chloroform that I inhaled and not having anything to drink since then.

"Down here!" yelled a woman who too sounded familiar. I tried to put my finger on who the person was but I couldn't and she sounded harmless enough so I slowly walked down stairs, the smell of bacon and eggs wafting in the air. Well this is certainly not what you would expect if you were kidnapped. I slowly rounded the corner when I came into the view of a young woman. Claire? I stood there wide eyed, staring at the last person I thought I would see.
She turned and looked at me.

"Bella its so good to see you again, You probably don't remember me, since its been awhile but I'm Claire." She smiled.

"Um yea...I do remember you. Uh why am I here?" I asked, slowly coming up to the table and gingerly took a seat.

"Well I just wanted to say first off I'm sorry about what Quil did to Trish-"

"Don't." I growled cutting her off.

"I'm..sorry. I can only imagine its still a sore subject." She said softly, looking down at the bacon she was cooking. "But I found out what James did to you by kidnapping you and I told Quil to bring you here that, what he was doing was barbaric."

"So basically you cut off his sex life til he brought me here." I asked cocking my eyebrow.

"To put it in simple terms...Yes." She smiled bring a plate of bacon and eggs in front of me.

"How long have I been here?" I asked slowly taking a bite of bacon.

"Eh two days. I think they over did it with the chloroform. James has been checking in on you from time to time. But enough about that. Tell me whats been happening on your end since..well..that night"She said sadly.

As I ate I told her about what happened after the funeral. How I stopped street racing for good. But every year Jake kept challenging me to a race on Trish's anniversary. So it became a tradition. I told her how James came to race Jake and how Jake survived and we've been together since.

"Well its about fricken time!" She said smiling but it was gone as quick as it came. "Uh look Bella...I know this whole situation is kinda effed up but I love Quil and all but this shit has to stop. Hes jealous of who you and Jake are. Sure his rep is good here, but I don't understand why he made James come up there to even race Jake. Ever since Quil told him the story of you hes been fascinated by you. I wish Quil would stop this whole racing shit. Its starting to get dangerous because he has to keep trying to be better than everyone."

"Sorry, no offense Claire, but Quil is the reason street racing isn't fun anymore. Your man is a fucking pussy who cant take losing like man." I said harsher than I intended to.

She sighed almost looking like she was ready to cry. "Yea I know...I just don't know how to get him to stop." I patted her on the arm in a comforting way after I finished my breakfast. She was a good person from what I remember her in school. I couldn't really blame her for being in love with a sadistic fucktard.

"I think I just may know how to stop him Claire." I said giving her a small smile

I sat in the living room going over things in my mind. I knew what I was about to propose to Quil and James would surely make Jake along with my sisters kill me, but I knew this would be the only way to ensure my safety and the safety of my crew. I would not lose another sister let alone the love of my life or my newly formed brothers. I just pray I'm making the right decision. Claire let me use her phone and I contacted Tara. I knew she wouldn't over react like Roza or Katy would. And I told her what I was about to do and not to let Jake know that I would tell him myself.

I heard the door open and slam shut and I knew it was Quil and James coming home.

"Hello sunshine." I heard James sinister voice call to me. I shuddered with disgust.

"Hello." I said through gritted teeth. I wanted to say a whole bunch of profanities after that hello but I figured that wouldn't be wise if I wanted to get out of here in one piece.

"So I see Claire took care of you while we were gone." Quil said coming up and standing in front of me. I looked up at him and I slowly stood up facing him.

"Yea, so tell me why am I here exactly? I mean I'm not bruised or cut so obviously you didn't do anything to me."

"That can always change cupcake." James came up next to me sliding his nasty cold fingers across my neck. I quickly grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back and threw him down on the ground. Good thing I took martial arts when I was younger, and yes that was another thing Jake joined with me to try to best me.

"Ow you stupid bitch!" James yelled trying to get free.

"Now now Tiph you're no position to hurt my friend here." Quil sneer opening up his jacket showing his gun.

"No you're right, but I have something better." She said releasing James slowly and standing back up.

"Oh really and what is that?" Quil asked arching an eyebrow clearly interested.

"A race." I shrugged as if it wasn't a big deal.

"Oh? And why would I want to race you? What will I gain out of it if I were to win?"

I took a deep breath slowly letting it out knowing I was going to kick my own ass later. "Me."

"You?" Quil and James said in unison wide eyed.

"Yes me. I challenge both of you to a race on Trisha's anniversary. Seems fitting, same track path and everything. But its going to be a clean race. If you can actually win fair and square. If you win FAIR I will join you and your crew. I will leave mine and Jake's crew and be part of yours. But if I win then you leave for good and don't show your face near my territory EVER again and you quit racing for good...for Claire. Do we have a deal?" I asked feeling my palms sweating. I was praying in my head that he would accept while they sat their in thought which seemed like hours.

"If we win not only will you join us you will also be my girl." James said smirking evilly.

I wanted to vomit right then and there but I held it in. "Deal. Quil?" I looked up at him.

Quil looked down at me for a moment and then finally smirks which I so wanted to slap it off his face but instead I held out my hand. He slowly put his hand in mine and shakes it firmly.

"You have yourself a deal. A clean race... you win, you're free... if we win, you're ours." I nodded my head.

"I'm going to enjoy watching Jake's face when I make you mine." James said smiling his cold green eyes boring a hole into my body.

"Speaking of Jake. I should be making a call to him to tell him where his precious Bella is." Quil smirked letting go of my hand.

"I will tell him of our deal. I don't want you to do it." I said not looking at him.

"Fine precious, I wasn't going to tell him either way. I was hoping it was going to be a surprise." Quil said pulling out my cell phone. Ugh I really hope I know what I was doing.

Well thats chapter 8 leave some love and I'm working on Chapter 9. It will be Jake and Tara's pov.
