Hello everyone. I'm really bad at continuing this story. So here comes chapter 10…

EPOV

Empty.

That's what our meadow was.

But she was here just moments ago. That's what gave me hope.

I sniff the air again. I sadly realise she didn't leave alone.

A growl escapes my lips. Mike was here as well. I shake in anger knowing that he now has her. I whip out my phone to call Alice but my phone starts to ring.

Thinking its Alice I answer my phone.

"Alice?"

"Edward…Please help." That voice was definitely not Alice.

"Bella! Where are you? Where is Mike keeping you?"

"Wow Cullen, you already know I have her. Now how could you possibly know that unless there's more to you then meets the eye?"

"Newton…I swear I will get her back. And next time I see her she better be in one piece or you will pay dearly." I hear laughter on the other end, followed by a scream. He is seriously begging me to kill him.

"Come and find us if you can." The line went dead afterwards.

He really doesn't know who he's dealing with. After quickly finding the scent, I ran as fast as I could.

He will pay for this. He will understand what true pain means.

Don't worry Bella, I'm coming.

BPOV

Mother luck must be out to get me. Or is it fate itself that is against me. Either way my life probably was supposed to end a long time ago.

Here I am, tied to a chair in a basement waiting for Mike to do whatever he wants to do. My life has just reached its lowest point.

Even though Mike used my phone to call Edward, I know he won't come. Why would he? I am just used property. I should have never left Mike. But I was still caught in the past, hoping and praying that things would be back as they were. I was just fooling myself.

Interrupting my thoughts was Mike walking through the basement door. He was wearing a smirk on his face. He was planning something and it probably involved my pain.

"Well Bella, reunited at last. This time you won't get away from me. You are mine. Not even your precious Edward can save you."

I already knew all this but with him voicing what I knew hurt more than I could imagine. Without my knowledge tears started to fall down my cheeks. This didn't go unnoticed to Mike. He came forward to brush the tears away but I flinch. Mike either didn't noticed or chose to ignore it.

"Don't cry my dear. I'm the only man that truly loves you. I'll never hurt you." He paused for a moment as if contemplating something. "Well, I won't hurt you unless it is to put you in your place if you over step your boundaries."

At this point I was shaking as he was holding me. This was something Mike didn't like. He was holding me one moment then hitting me the next.

So now it would seem everything is going back to what it once was before the Cullens came back.

It was then my focus was suddenly on the fact that Mike was trying to remove my clothes. I started to fight back but was rewarded with several slaps to the face and a few harsh words demanding me to stop struggling. I had no choice but to do as he says.

What made things worse was that while he was removing my clothes, he was trailing kisses where he just removed a piece of clothing.

Without a second thought, I started screaming. Screaming for him to stop. The only response I got from him was more slaps, harder this time.

Even though Mike was continually hitting me, my screams wouldn't stop. My subconscious must still want the rest of my body to fight.

Without warning there was a smash coming from upstairs. Mike immediately stopped. He turned back to me.

"Say a word or make a sound and you will never see the light of day again. Got it?"

With my nod as the only answer, Mike made his way upstairs to the main house.

Silence was in the air for a moment. Then I heard a continuation of smashes and what sounded like a girl screaming. A girl? I didn't know there was a female inside the main house.

The noise only lasted a few minutes then suddenly stopped. I tried to hear anything coming from upstairs, but failed to hear anything.

Suddenly the door bursts open to reveal Edward standing in the doorway. He rushes to my side and starts checking my body for any severe injuries.

Seeing that there wasn't anything serious he picked me and raced at vampire speed out of the house. My guess was that he was heading for the Cullen house.

My mind wasn't comprehending the fact that I was safe from Mike and that I was once again in Edward's arms.

The next thing I know Edward has come to a stop just inside his house calling for Carlisle to come down. I couldn't make out anything that made sense. It was then I understood the situation. I was in shock and everyone was discussing how to get me out of it if they were to fully patch me up.

Slowly coming out of my shocked state, I realised that everyone was around me. Though I couldn't see him, I could still sense him behind me. I wanted to see him. I really needed to see him.

"E-Edward?"

Immediately Edward came into my line of sight, taking my hand in a comforting gesture letting me know he was close and that he wasn't going anywhere.

"I'm here Bella and I promise to never leave your side ever again. I'm so sorry for running away from you, leaving you in the arms of the man that hurt you so much that you lost a life you created."

The only answer I could give him was launching myself into his arms and letting out all my pain and suffering through sobs as I clung to Edward for dear life.

While Edward had me in his arms, he whispered comforting words while rocking me back and forth. After a while I start to feel exhausted and start to lose conscious. The last thing I hear is Edward calling my name.

That's all folks. Please continue the reviews and I'm sorry it took so long.
