"Bella," she heard someone call through the darkness and she groaned as the voice registered. Against her will she was pulled from the black abyss and came face to face with Aaron.

"No," she mumbled willing her mind to descend back into darkness but it wouldn't cooperate.

"You didn't really believe that you could hide from me forever, did you?" Aaron taunted as he crouched down in front of her and brushed his finger tips across her cheek. She turned her head immediately and closed her eyes once again.

"Where is Melody?" she asked quietly not strong willed enough to look at her ex-husband.

"Your pretty little babysitter. I sent her home, although she would be excellent for my next wife," Aaron replied with a smile, the same smile that had made Bella weak at the knees ten years earlier. Now it made her stomach churn and she was suddenly reminded of the life growing inside of her. She wrapped her arms protectively around her abdomen and silently prayed for Edward.

"You shouldn't have taken the kids from me Isabella. That wasn't a nice thing to do," He belittled as he grabbed her by the arm. Bella struggled against his grip but she already knew it was no use. Aaron pulled her across the kitchen to a seat and pushed her down hard.

"How did you find me?" Bella finally asked, still refusing to look at the man who had caused her so much pain.

"It was very easy actually. Your loving parents didn't do a very good job of clearing evidence," Aaron replied and pulled a chair out to sit in front of her. "Your father should know not to leave vital evidence lying around. He is a police officer after all."

"What did you do to them?" Bella asked, venom and anger lacing her words.

"Nothing. They are perfectly fine. Although after the hell you put me through who could really blame me if I did do something to them. People wouldn't think twice about me but you, Bella, they would all see what a screw up you really are and they would believe that you fell off the wagon, so to speak," Aaron said before grabbing her face roughly and forcing her to look into his light blue eyes. "You are nothing Isabella Swan and this world would be a better place without you in it."

Bella willed herself not to cry, but her emotions got the better of her and two lonely tears slid down her cheek.

"Once the world is rid of you and your pathetic existence, the kids and I can live happily without you," Aaron continued to taunt. He knew all the right things to say to make her feel like she was worth nothing.

"They won't go with you," Bella said quietly. "They know what you're really like."

"You filled their heads with lies," he spat at her, standing quickly and sending the chair sliding into the wall. Bella shrunk lower in her seat, knowing that his anger was rising quickly.

"I told them nothing but the truth," Bella hissed back. "Abby was the one to clean me up every time your fists took a joyride on my face."

Bella could see his eyes turning dark blue and knew that he was close to boiling point.

"If you didn't piss me off and had been a good little housewife I wouldn't have had to teach you respect," Aaron yelled, his anger taking control of him. Before she knew what was happening his hand connected with her cheek and she was falling backwards. The back of the chair snapped as it connected with the ground and Bella cried out in pain. Seconds later the thundering of footsteps could be heard as Abby descended from the second floor. Abby froze the second her eyes fell on Aaron. She glared at him momentarily before running to her mother's aid.

"Are you ok?" Abby whispered as she helped Bella from the floor. Deja vu set in as she remembered the past. Bella nodded and leaned back against the wall.

"Aren't you going to give your father a hug?" Aaron asked as he held his arms open for his only daughter. Abby glared at Aaron but remained with Bella. This angered Aaron more and another chair ended up shattered against the wall.

"Disrespectful like your mother," Aaron spat at Abby. "Maybe I'll have to teach you respect as well."

He raised his hand at Abby and looked ready to strike her.

"No Aaron," Bella cried out as Abby hid her face in her mother's shoulder. "Hit me not her."

Aaron's menacing laugh rang out before he dropped back onto the last chair.

"Always the weak one Bella. Defending everyone else. Weak weak weak," he said and Bella noted that his eyes were back to their normal colour.

"You won't lay a single finger on my children, ever," Bella said with full conviction in her voice. She would never put her kids through what she had suffered through for ten years.

"You seem to have forgotten that they are my children too," Aaron reminded her before stretching and yawning. "I think we should continue this upstairs."

Aaron grabbed Bella by the arm once again and hauled her the stairs, Abby in tow. Before Aaron slammed the door in his daughter's face Bella insisted that her daughter go back to bed.

"I'll be fine, sweetheart. This will all be over soon." Bella promised. Aaron slammed the door closed and Abby was left staring at a white door.

Bella woke early the next morning to Aaron's snoring. She remembered all that had happened the night before and without waking him, Bella slipped from the bed. She was shocked when she only moved a few steps and was jerked back. She spied a pair of handcuffs attaching her to the bedpost.

"I took them as a parting gift from you father," Aaron informed her as he rolled over and let his eyes roam her body which he had shed of clothing the night before. "Cant have you running away from me again."

"You can't hid for long Aaron. The kids have school and I have work," Bella reminded him and he grinned like a Cheshire cat.

"Not today. You will call in sick. Tonight were leaving Forks," Aaron announced and shuffled out of bed. Bella turned her head as his naked body came into view. Her thoughts flew to Edward and knew that she had to contact him somehow. Aaron was answering the home phone and her cell phone was downstairs. Aaron undid the handcuffs and then descended the stairs waiting for her to cook him breakfast, like she had done every morning for ten years.

"Mum we have to get out of here," Abby whispered as she ran into the bedroom. Bella was slowly pulling on some clothes, her back bruised and her face swollen.

"My cell phone is downstairs in my bag. While I'm making him breakfast I want you to take it and call Edward. Tell him what's happened," Bella replied. She finished dressing and slowly walked down the stairs, Abby, Nathan and Brendan in tow. The two boys, happy to see their father, instantly recoiled as they saw what he had down to their mother. Memories of years gone by flooded their minds and they went in search of Abby who was their only safety net.

"You turned them against me," Aaron hissed towering over Bella as she struggled to make his breakfast.

"I did no such thing Aaron Nicholson. You scare the shit out of them and they finally see you for what you are. A monster," Bella replied. She had only just finished what she was saying before Aaron's fist connected with her temple sending her flying into the wall and pain engulfing her whole body. Aaron raised his fist to hit her again when Nathan's voice rang out and pleaded with him to stop.

"Please stop hurting mummy. You'll hurt the baby," Nathan whispered loud enough for Aaron and Bella to hear. The room fell silent as Aaron stared at his son.

"Baby?" He asked and looked between his ex-wife and his son. "What baby?"

"Mummy and doctor Edward's baby," Nathan explained. Bella closed her eyes and prayed that the end of Aaron's torment would come quickly but after a minute of silence she opened her eyes. Aaron was still staring at Nathan who was staring right back, suddenly unafraid of the monster in front of him.

"You better pray for your mother's sake that you are lying Nathan Nicholson," Aaron finally said calmly.

"Mummy told me it was rude to lie," Nathan replied just as calmly. Aaron turned to face Bella and glared at her.

"You can't keep your legs closed for five minutes. How long after our divorce was finalised did you sleep with him?" Aaron snarled and pulled her to her feet.

"That's none of your business," Bella replied calmly, not wanting to aggravate him.

"Everything about your life is my business Isabella Swan, whether we're married or divorced," Aaron explained as if talking to a child. "Who is he?"

"No one you will ever meet," Bella said. "He is more of a man then you will ever be and he knows how to treat me with respect."

Aaron pushed Bella violently into the wall and watched as her body slid down it. A banging on the door rang through the house loudly followed by Edward's voice.

"Bella, let me in," he yelled. Aaron grinned evilly at Bella before pulled an object from the back of his pants and walking off towards the front door. It swung open and Edward's hand froze in mid air.

"Why don't you join us Doctor Edward," Aaron said holding the object that he had pulled from the back of his pants, at Edward. Bella gasped loudly as she realised what it was. Aaron had a gun.
