Chapter 10: Saving Bella

Bella Pov

I had tried absolutely everything to get out of this cell. But it was no use; it was designed so that vampires stronger than Felix and faster than Edward cannot get out.

I needed to hunt too… I had purposely decided not to hunt while the others hadn't left to spend the most time with them. Big mistake now.

I heard footsteps coming closer, as well as the whimper of a girl. This couldn't be good at all, and it had Vanita written all over it. She opened the door and I charged at it, making an attempt to escape. She easily stopped me, sending me to crash hard against the wall. The sound was like thunder.

"Dear Isabella, why do you try futile attempts to escape? You're a week animal drinker… pathetic like your father and the beloved Cullens," she spat out the name with despite, hate. "You are in the way Bella, join me and be powerful, be a real vampire." She threw a scared dark haired girl into the cell, "you will give in eventually, I always get my way!"

The girl whimpered in the corner as Vanita slammed the door and walked away. I got a god look at the girl; she had brown frizzy, wavy hair that went just past her shoulders. Brown eyes and red cheeks. She looked no older than fifteen. Her blood sang to me, which was unusual. I never liked human blood. La Tua Cantante, my dad always said, but I won't hurt her. Over my dead ashes.

"Non ti preoccuparsi, tutto e` bene." I said in Italian. (A/N: I'm not that good at Italian but I'm trying to make sure it's correct, this means don't worry, everything is alright.)

She didn't say anything in return, "Come ti chiami?" I asked (what's your name?)

She seemed to realize what I said and replied in a shaky voice, "Daniela, e tu?" (Daniela and you)

"Isabella, ma preferisco Bella." (Isabella, but I prefer Bella) She nodded. I noticed that she had a slight accent, not Italian and made me think that maybe Italian wasn't her first language. "Parli Inglese?" I asked. (Do you speak English?)

She nodded again. "How old are you?" I asked. She hesitated before replying quietly.

"Fourteen."

"Where are you from?" I asked, she was definitely not Italian and she didn't have an American accent. I couldn't place her accent, it was so subtle.

"Australia." She said. Well wasn't that a coincidence. Why was she here in Italy then? Vanita cannot run that fast.

"Tell me about yourself?" I asked, finding that with each breath my bloodlust became worse. She smelt so good. Like Peaches and Lily's. The blood wet with every heartbeat. Venom filled my mouth. The monster inside me growled.

NO! I could not lose control. This girl has a life ahead of her. I would not be the person to take that away from her. I stopped breathing.

Daniela shivered. She debated answering my question and hesitantly opened her mouth.

"I'm on a family vacation to Italy, we had just arrived in Florence, and we were at the Galleria dell'Accademia, looking at the Statue of David. Then that woman, she grabbed me and before I could scream I was flying, and then I ended up here." I nodded, signalling for her to continue. She sighed and continued, "I like to read any romance novels. I like Pride and Prejudice, though I didn't really understand all the meanings behind it. I'm going to study Romeo and Juliet in my next year of schooling, I cannot wait. I have four best friends at school, Steph, Em, Stace and Jo. They are all different. Steph is the gorgeous one; she knows everyone and has an amazing voice. She loves drama. Em is loud; she has a great love of music and can obsess over anything, from Buffy to Gossip Girl. Stace is the calm one, keeping us together. She is always nice to everyone and has an air around her that makes anyone like her. Jo is the sporty one; she doesn't take anyone's crap. We all stick up for each other, we all read books and we sometimes act like sisters. So yeah." Daniela took a deep, ragged breathe and a tear fell down her cheek.

We sat in silence and eventually Daniela's ragged breathing calmed down. I curled my knees to my chest. I needed help. I needed Edward.

Edward, I need you.

Two Weeks Later

Edward's Pov

So I was back in America, after a month in Italy. We were able to pull that off because we just moved to Fork's Washington, a small town that was hardly ever sunny.

I hated it here. It has been two weeks of pure Hell. All the girls were after me and I wish I was with Bella. I loved her and I didn't tell her. I knew that if I told her, I wouldn't be able to let her go. I had to though; it was her duty to stay there. I tried to call her, but she didn't pick up her cell phone, I figured she was out hunting but no one can get to her. I was worried. Alice kept getting visions of Bella reading, safe, not in any harm, but I wasn't sure. It has been two weeks and I was on edge. Why couldn't I get in touch with her?

We were currently sitting in Fork high's cafeteria. The food in front of us stank and it's not like we could eat it. Oh couldn't the day be over yet? My fingers were itching to play Bella's Lullaby.

Suddenly my phone in my pocket buzzed and the calming tune of Debussy's Clair de Lune filled the air. Everyone went quiet, I really hated being the new kids because the other's watch you so closely. I picked it up and noticed an unknown number.

"Hello?" I asked. Who possibly could be ringing me now? It was the middle of the day.

"Edward. It's Heidi!" I recognized the voice immediately.

"What is the matter? Is everything okay?" Please don't let it be about Bella. I begged silently. But them why would she be ringing me?

"Have you been able to get in touch with Bella? None of us can get a hold of her and even the line in the castle isn't picking up!" she sounded desperate. Panic rose in my chest. My voice shook.

"None of us can get through either!" Bella was in danger. I could feel it!

"You have to see what's going on. We can't, Gianna is in the middle of her transformation, and she will be no good as a newborn."

"I... I … okay, I'm on the next flight."

"Okay." Heidi said and we closed our phones. I looked around at my siblings; their thoughts were in a fury of worry. Was Bella alright? Suddenly Alice got a vision.

Bella was in a room, a dungeon, with a teenage girl. She didn't dare breathe.

"Daniela," she said, "My friends will come, you will be safe, no one will hurt you, I promise." The girl nodded.

"What are you?" the girl- Daniela asked. Bella took in a deep breath. The monster inside her screamed for the girl's blood.

"I'm a Vampire."

I stared at Alice in shock.

"Vanita has her locked up in the dungeon with her singer." Alice explained to the others.

That's sick. Rosalie thought.

"I have to go." I said. We were wasting time. Every moment that passed could be torture for Bella, or maybe her final moments. Alice shook her head.

"Not alone. Carlisle you and I will go. I'll call him."

"Bella's like a sister to me too." Emmett yelled. "I'm coming." Jasper nodded.

What if you need back up? I shook my head at Jasper. He had experience in fighting but it will not come to that.

"No Emmett. Vanita will feel threatened. We want to come out alive." Alice said; her voice was not her usual chipper tone. He pouted.

"Fine, flip the bird at Vanita for me." He told Alice who rolled her eyes. We were wasting time.

Go already, get Carlisle and bring her home. Rosalie's sense of reason came through. Bella and her were already sisters; she was concerned like the rest of us. I nodded to my sister.

I'll get things ready for Bella here. I was suddenly grateful for my sister.

Alice and I made our way to the Reception. I made up a bull lie that Alice and I had an appointment for checkups at the hospital and soon enough we were in my Volvo speeding to the hospital.

We ran into the hospital as fast as we could while remaining inconspicuous.

"Carlisle Cullen please." Alice said. The receptionist slowly looked up and said,

"He's busy."

I growled. This insolent human was keeping me from my Bella.

"It's an emergency." I was ready to rip this girl's head off. Then Carlisle came out to meet us, he probably heard us.

"Alice, Edward, What's going on?" he said.

"It's Bella."

~*~

It didn't take long to explain to Carlisle why we needed to go back to Volterra. Alice made some calls and we were on our way to Florence. I couldn't believe what Vanita was doing to Bella. How could Aro stay with someone that horrible?

Because of the short notice booking of this flight, we were separated, but only by a few rows thankfully. However, I was sitting next to the most annoying girl possible, and a sweet old lady. Alice was sitting next to a slobbering teenage boy and a fat middle aged man and Carlisle was sitting next to two ladies in their thirties. It was going to be a long flight.

"So like… I'm going to like Florence to like become a model" the girl, Molly said. She was a fake blond, wearing a top as a dress and wore lots of makeup. Who even lets these people on flights? "So like why you are going to Florence?" she asked and batted her heavily made up eyelashes at me.

"I am going to see my girlfriend." I said curtly. She got the message and stayed quiet. The old lady next to me said, "Oh young love." and rambled into a story about when she met her late husband. I wasn't really interested but I nodded at all the right places. She wasn't that bad. Better than Molly anyway.

We soon landed in Florence and we waited for a hire car. Alice wanted to steal a car but Carlisle didn't want that on his conscience.

We sped to Volterra, (I was at the wheel) and pulled up outside the palace, thankfully it wasn't a sunny day. We walked into the foyer. It seemed so cold, so empty.

"Vanita!" Carlisle called. We heard footsteps come closer and I could hear Vanita's voice.

Why are they here? Who told them?

She came into view and I growled, "Where is Bella." she opened her mouth to say something then Alice voice filled my head.

She's going to say hunting, but the dungeons are in the bottom floor. You and I will go.

I nodded and we were off. I ran fast and felt Alice behind me. I looked around at the empty cells, then I heard a girls thoughts.

She looks hungry. So weak. Will she survive? I followed the voice until I saw my Bella and the teenage girl from Alice's vision- Daniela, sitting as far away from each other. Alice opened the door and grabbed Daniela. She was going to take her back to her family, who were still in Florence and would meet us at the airport. I looked at Bella. Her eyes were black. She was slumped against the wall, looking fragile, weak. It broke my dead heart to see her like that. I walked over to her.

"Edward," she said, "You came!" I laughed.

"Of course I came my Bella, I Love you!"

There you go! He said it!

Review!!!! Please!!!
