I don't own Twilight

So there is a major time skip cause I couldn't see it working any other way so sry to those who wanted Bella to remain young.

So plez enjoy... I tried to make it good but its like 3 in the morning and yeah on with the story


_10 years Later_

Bella- Age 16


Edward POV

Ten years; she had been gone ten years! Today would be her 16th birthday and it was nothing like I had pictured it. It was supposed to be one of the best days of her life, but instead she was who knows where with some crazy vamp.

We were almost 100% sure that James had taken her and for the past ten years we had continued to look for her. Hell we even stayed in Forks risking exposing ourselves (ageing thing) so that we could keep looking. Unfortunately he was a very talented vampire; he left no evidence for us to follow or any indication of what he might want her for.

Even after ten years there was still something inside me that kept saying that Bella was still alive; Out there somewhere waiting for rescue. The family was so different without here. Rosalie and Esme were worried sick. Carlisle had lost his daughter. Alice spent her days searching for Bella in her visions, but nothing came of it. Jasper didn't know how to help her and everyone's worry on top of his own was slowly driving him insane. Emmett had probably the most extreme change; he was almost silent now and constantly blaming himself for what happened. We were a mess to say the least.

My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Alice's yelling.

"I've got something!" she exclaimed


Bella POV

I was cold; cold and tired. I know I should be used to it after all this time, but I couldn't forget or let go. Throughout James' sadistic torture that he put me through the one that kept me going was my memories. They gave me hope. Some I could barely remember while other remained strong throughout the years. I don't even know exactly how long I have been his prisoner.

He started out being semi nice when I was smaller; just a few small beating here and there, mostly I just cleaned and did whatever he asked. We lived in a small house in a secluded forest; James was the only company I had seen in what seemed like forever. After taking me he had ditched the Laurent and then Victoria had gotten on his nerves so he killed her. It was just me and him.

As I got older things changed somewhat; the beating got worse, he often forgot to feed me, and sometimes he would do inappropriate things (not rape). The house has become my prison and I don't see an escape anywhere in the near future.

Everyday was the same thing; wake up, do whatever James says until he leaves to hunt, then get punishments for anything James feels I did wrong, and only then can I eat whatever I can find before going to bed only to repeat it the next day. In short my life was hell, an inescapable hell.

Sometimes I would dream that Edward came and rescued me. He would always come in and kill James before taking me off to live happily ever after. James had already told me all about them being vampires and the 'vegetarian' diet. He used to go on and on about them just because he knew that it got to me. Mental torture seemed to be almost more enjoyable to him then the physical.

I sighed as I looked at my reflection in the cracked mirror; I was skinny, but not in a good way, my hair was long and messy, and I was covered with bruises. On top of that once during a particularly bad beating James had completely snapped my arm, I was the most pain I had ever been in. I had spoken back to him and he hadn't taken it well. That had been I few years ago, but because he didn't get me any medical attention the bones had healed incorrectly meaning constant pain for me. He later told me it would serve as a reminder never to go against him; it worked.

The sound of the door squeaking alerted me that James had returned from his hunt and I prayed he had already eaten it. On occasion he would bring back his victims and drain them in front of me because he liked to see my fear.

"Bella!" came the voice I had come to fear

"Yes" I whispered pitifully

"Did you miss me?" he taunted

"Of course" I replied softly

"Come here!" he demanded

I took timid steps until I was standing only inches away from him.

"Did you do all your chores?" he asked

"Yes" I replied, mentally thinking of everything I had done

"We will see" he answered, before entering the kitchen

He returned after a few minutes with a scowl.

"Well I guess you didn't miss any..." he trailed off as his eyes connected with something

I let out a small gasp as I realized that I had forgotten to get rid of some crumbs from the bread I had eaten earlier; that was not ok and now I would be thoroughly punished for it.

"Bella, what are those?" he demanded

"Crumbs" I whimpered

"You're disgusting" he said as his hand connected with my face making a deafening snap.

He then proceeded to smack me around a little before demanding that the entire house be clean by the time he got back and with that he left, slamming the door behind him.

I painfully got up and proceeded to clean up, amazed that such a small mess could cause so much pain.


James returned a few hours later with a man. I immediately felt my body tense as I remembered all the other times James had brought victims home with him. A shudder ran through me.

The man was in his late thirties with messy blond hair and pale blue eyes. He was slightly overweight and extremely scared. He was begging and pleading with James not to hurt him. I wanted to tell him that no amount of begging and pleading would help him because James was a heartless monster but seceded against it; my body had taken enough beatings today.

As James began to bite down I quickly looked away and attempted to block it out. It worked, to some extent, although I couldn't block out the noise. The animalistic sounds of James' feeding or the screams of the victim as his life was drained from him. I tried to tune it out and eventually drifted into memories of happier times with the Cullen's, what I wouldn't give to just see them even one more time.


So this is ch 9
