Chapter 9 - Find Me

It had been a few weeks since I had been…kidnapped. I wasn't really sure what it was, usually when you were kidnapped you would be taken by someone and held hostage and they would make demands to the people to get the person back…alive. So really, this didn't make sense to me. I was beginning to become a bit more comfortable with Edward, but for some reason something was telling me that I should run. I didn't know what to do so I just lay on the bed and thought things out. Edward had gone out…again. He always did that at least once a week and whenever he would go, his eyes would be black and when he returned they would be topaz or butterscotch. I was working on a theory for that; he wasn't human…unless he wore contacts to confuse me. But why would you bother wearing different contacts for different days? But he couldn't be human. No human could walk so quietly or gracefully or fast. He was a heap stronger than most humans, so I declared that he wasn't human…just something else. What if he was a vampire? Could they really exist? I was brought out of my thoughts by a loud crash I sat up on my bed. Edward never made so much noise.

"Edward?" I called. There was no answer; instead there was another crash. I frowned. It couldn't be Edward; he never made that much noise. There was some shuffling. My heart was racing, someone was here and I didn't know who it was, just that it wasn't Edward.

"Bella?" A voice called. The voice was familiar, husky and deep. I gasped. What was he doing here? How did he find this place? How did he find me? Why did he have to show up everywhere? I hated him so much!

Edward's Point of View

I was running back to my little…lair where Bella was when I heard some unfamiliar thoughts.

The filthy bloodsucker. He's got Bella. I can smell her. I growled. Someone was looking for Bella and following another scent. This was what I feared. If only I could get there before they found the hideaway then I could get rid of them, vampire or any other threat. I was getting closer to my hideaway and heard a loud crash coming from the inside. They were already there or Bella was making a lot of noise.

What the hell? Who needs all this stuff? Not a vampire, that's for sure. I heard the thoughts again and growled once more. They were already there.

"Edward?" I heard Bella's faint voice as she called my name.

"I'm coming." I whispered under my breath. Another crash. Gosh, the person inside definitely wasn't careful with where they were walking.

"Bella?" A deep and husky voice called. I had made my way inside and things were easier to hear. I heard Bella's gasp and I knew that either the person in here had found her. I picked up their scent. I flinched and wrinkled my nose in distaste. A werewolf.

"Bella! There you are! I've been so worried. All of us. What are you doing here with a bloodsucker?" He asked. He had found her. I could see her on the bed in his mind. And he had just said bloodsucker and she didn't even know what that was! Great.

"B-b-bloodsucker?" Bella asked uncertain.

She doesn't know that she's with a bloodsucker? What sort of secrets has he been keeping? She knows I'm a werewolf. What's his problem? He thought. I growled and ran to the bedroom. Sure enough, when I got there, there was a tall boy standing by the bed with black curly hair and russet brown skin. I growled louder and he flinched as he turned to face me. Bella's face was horrified.

"Well, if it isn't the bloodsucker." His voice came in a taunting tone.

"Who are you?" I demanded.

"Jacob." He replied. So Jacob Black was here; the person that Bella had been so paranoid about.

"Looks like Jacob found you again." I muttered. Bella didn't say anything, but I heard her heart racing. She slowly got off the bed and walked back towards the wall. Her breathing was ragged.

"Bloodsucker?" She whispered. I glared at Jacob. Why did he have to ruin so many things? I mean, I was going to tell her soon and now he comes in and just spits out the first thing that comes to his mind.

"Why'd you take her?" Jacob demanded.

"Why is it any of your concern, pup?" I retorted. He scoffed.

"Nice name, parasite." He replied. I growled. I grabbed him by the throat and had him pressed against the wall in a second.

"What are you doing here?" I growled.

"Saving Bella from you. What do you think?" He asked. I tried to pay no attention to his mind, though he was practically yelling.

When I get Bella out of here, we will live together in happiness. I'll destroy the bloodsucker, grab her and run. I can protect her forever. She knows it. This bloodsucker can't, I have to advantage here. I scoffed.

"You just gave away your plan. It was stupid anyway." I growled.

"Read minds, much?" He taunted. I growled and hit him against the wall again. "Read Bella's mind much?" He asked.

"No." I growled.

"Why not?" He demanded. I tightened my grip on his neck so he would have more trouble asking questions. But that didn't stop him.

I asked why not!! I growled.

"It doesn't matter to you, mongrel!" I growled. He chuckled. I was suddenly thrown to the ground and I saw more werewolves standing in front of me. "More werewolves." I muttered. Jacob nodded.

"Did you seriously think I would come here alone?" He asked. I quickly got up and crouched; ready to attack.

"It was a possibility." I replied and lunged at the pack. They each moved away from my attack and I was on the other side of the room. A werewolf, still in human form, attacked me and grabbed me from behind, holding my arms behind my back while Jacob punched me as hard as he could. Fools, they didn't even know how to destroy a vampire.

Bella's Point of View

I watched in complete horror as Jacob and his friends attacked Edward. Jacob had called Edward a bloodsucker and a parasite…almost like a…leech. I looked away from the fight and thought about making a run for it, but Edward could always find me and bring me back here, if he made it out of here alive. Edward was a vampire and he had something planned for me. Gosh what I wouldn't give to know what it was. What would a vampire do to a human? Kill them obviously. He would kill me. Drink my blood and throw me away, so why hadn't he done it already! What was wrong with this vampire? I was about to move from the wall to the door and run away, but I couldn't get my legs to move. Instantly there were two more people in the room, they looked like Edward and they also looked familiar. I gasped as I realized they were the two people from Forks. Dr and Mrs. Cullen. Good god. Were they the vampires Jacob had been talking about? Why hadn't I noticed it before! Mrs. Cullen smiled at me and walked over to me.

"It's good to see you again, are you all right?" She asked, her voice low and filled with concern.

"Stay back." I said quickly, ignoring her question and stumbled back a few steps.

"Bella, we won't hurt you." She promised. Her arms stretched towards me. I heard a few more growls and turned my head to see Edward and Dr. Cullen fighting with the wolves. All of the pack was still in their human forms and fighting.

"How do I know you won't…kill me?" I asked her, looking back at her heart shaped face. Her eyes were golden ochre.

"Because Carlisle and I drink from animals. We don't hunt humans, there is nothing to fear." She promised me. I scoffed; though it was weak I still fought with her.

"Right, nothing to fear. I'm just in a room surrounded by werewolves and vampires and there is nothing to be afraid of?! You can kill me, all of you. I bet you will!" I retorted. She had a pained look in her eyes.

"Did you hear of any murders in Forks?" She asked me. Her question stunned me. Why would I remember that? I shook my head and bolted for the door.

"Bella!" I heard Edward's velvety voice call for me, but I didn't stop. I had to run. I had to get out of here. I ran out the door and found myself in a forest. I didn't know where to run and I was scared of the forest. Something was likely to find me and kill me. Of course I was going to die, that's how it always worked. I had been taken by a vampire, most likely going to get killed anyway, why don't I just die in the forest? So much better! I ran off into the trees, wondering where I was going to go. But then again, why did it matter? I was going to get lost and starve to death in the forest, unless those damn vampires or werewolves found me. Argh! There was no escaping. Jacob always followed my scent to find me, no doubt he would do it again and Edward, Dr and Mrs. Cullen probably would too. How infuriating.

I kept running through the forest, it kept getting darker and darker as I got deeper and deeper. My clothes kept getting caught on tree twigs and spiky things and kept getting ripped; I tripped quite a lot so I now had dirt all over my face. I had heard the sounds of animals, but had not bothered to stop and check behind me. I kept running and the forest got darker and darker till I could no longer see anything.

"Ah!" I yelped as my foot got caught and I fell to the ground. I felt something behind me; I looked over my shoulder and made out the figure of a fallen tree. I let the tears run down my face as I curled up into a ball on the ground and moved closer to the tree. I was lost. Never to go home, like Edward had promised. Never to see my friends. I was never going to be safe. I was going to starve to death in this forest as I wandered aimlessly around the place, trying to get home. Something would either eat me or I would die from starvation and rot away slowly, so much better than being killed by a vampire. I sobbed harder now, longing for the comfort of one of my friends.

A/N: Oh no! Bella's lost in the forest. Shock. Horror. Will she be okay? Find out in the next few chapters...I guess.
