Chapter 11- Phone calls

Bella's POV

Her eyes pierced me deep where my soul once lied and I swallowed hard. Then suddenly I heard a blood-curdling scream from right beside me.

It was Esme.

Victoria had a death grip on her and ripped her out of the store.

"NO!" Alice shrieked as she dropped her bags to run after them but as soon as we stepped out side they were no where to be seen.

Alice ran down the street and screamed Esme's name. The panic-stricken Rosalie stood as still as a statue with fear. Then another vision appeared in my head.

Victoria had Esme tied up to a chair and her mouth tied up. The sand below the chair sent a vivid memory back as I realized where they were; La Push beach 1.

"Excuse me miss, you forgot your bags." A lady said as she exited the dark store and broke my concentration.

I rudely snatched them back and watched Rosalie hold Alice in her arms as she sobbed dryly. I ran up to them as fast as I could, not hesitating to walk human-speed.

Esme is gone. No. Not Esme. Rose thought as she shook her head in shock.

What beach could that be? It looks familiar but I don't know. Alice, think! For Esme you have to remember. Alice continued to sob while she thought.

I ran to the side walk and called for a cab. One stopped immediately. "Come on guys, I'll explain on the way." I said as I lifted Alice to her feet.

We piled into the cab and the driver asked where we were going. "Hilton New York, please." I said; not bothering to look at him. "I know what beach that is. Its La Push beach one; right outside Forks. It's also right beside Jacob's house. You remember the werewolf. Victoria isn't stupid; she knows we'll go after Esme, but I don't know why she didn't just take me." I said with a frustrating look. If anything happened to her because of me I would never forgive myself.

"She thinks she did." Rose said simply. I couldn't understand it, Esme and I don't look alike. "Victoria knows that you changed and she thought that you were Esme. Plus it was dark in there, so it was an easy -but awful- mistake." Rose said as she put her head in her hands.

"Can I borrow your cell please?" I asked. I needed to call Edward and tell him what happened; he would be able to help us. Rose handed me the phone and I dialed his number as fast as I could. It rang once and then Edward answered, "Hello?" He asked happily. "Edward. Victoria's here. She took Esme, thinking it was me and now she's taking her to La Push beach outside of Forks." I spilled out as fast as I could.

"What?! But we can't go down there for two reasons. We broke the treaty and we're not allowed on the reserve." He said obviously, like I didn't already know that.

"I know. Alice, Rose and I are going back to the hotel to think of a plan but if I were you, I would think of a way to get down here, now. When you're here I can get more of your power and then, I'll make sure everyone can have some of my power." I said hesitantly.

Alice and Rose both turned my way with an astonished look. "Ar-are you sure you want to do that Bells?"

"I'm positive." I was.

"I mean… really?" He asked as if I had said something crazy.

"Of course, Edward. Esme is my family now. I will do anything to save her. Or anyone of you, for that matter. I love you; and my new family." I said with a serious tone. It was true. Saving Esme was more important than anything right now. "So find a way to get you, Carlisle, Jasper and Emmett down here. I'll see you soon. I love you."

"I love you too." He said like he was still trying to process what I had said.

As I hung up the phone the car stopped in front of the hotel. I paid the cab driver and pulled my bags out of the car. Once we were in the elevator, I hugged Alice and Rose together and we all broke into a big heaping sob. "Everything will be okay." I whispered as the bell rang our floor. We stepped out and ran to our door. I slid the key in and out quickly and dumped my bags on the floor. Once Rose and Alice were inside too, I started unpacking my bags into my small duffle bag. I folded everything as calmly as I could as I tried very hard to think of what to do.

Maybe we could kill the werewolves… thought Rosalie. No. Not an option, as much as I hated Jacob right now, I couldn't do that to him.

We could try to negotiate with Jacob… thought Alice. That was it!

"Alice! You're a genius! Great idea!" I said as I got up and walked toward the phone.

"Huh?" Rose said with a confused look.

"I thought that Bella should negotiate with Jacob so we could save Esme before she arrives there." Alice said with a nervous sigh.

Rose just nodded. I listened to the phone again. It rang once, twice, three times. Come on Jake, pick up! Four times, "Hello?" Billy answered. "Billy!" I exploded. "Billy, it's me Bella! Where's Jacob? I need to speak with him it's urgent." I spoke quickly.

"Bella? Where are you? Jake told me those wretched leeches made you one of them… how dare they."

"Well yeah they did, but I need to talk to Jake. Is he around?" I asked.

"Yes, he's here but first, how are you? After Charlie died I didn't know how you were holding up."

"I'm fine" I added with sorrow buried deep inside my empty chest.

"Okay, well here's Jake."

"Hello?" he spoke harshly.

"Jake! It's me Bella I have to talk to-" I was cut off by his ferocious yelling.

"BELLA?! WHAT COULD YOU POSSIBLY WANT?" he shouted with a brutally angry tone.

"Jake, please calm down. I have to talk to you about something."

"What could a blood-sucker like you want to talk about?"

"Look Jake, I'm really sorry. Be mad at me, not them. It was my choice. But I need to ask you a favor, as a friend. Not an enemy." I said as warmly as I could.

"A FAVOR?! YOU MUST BE KIDDING."

"No. I'm not. Now can we talk about this normally please?"

"Fine. But I can't believe they did that to you."

"I know, but hear me out, I know you hate Edward because he hurt me before, but we're getting married now, and something awful has happened to Esme; his mother." I continued without letting him interrupt. "There's a vampire that tried to hunt me down last spring and she confused Esme with me and now they're headed up to La Push beach, right now, maybe to… kill Esme."

"Wow."

"I know, it's awful."

"No I mean wow; you actually think that I'm going to help your back-stabbing family."

"Jake, don't be like this. You're still my friend, I don't want things to end like this!" I was getting upset because I had a feeling that he wasn't giving in.

"I'm sorry; Bella, but I can't help you anymore." He said with a regretful tone. With that the opposite line went dead.

I know, Binka (& any other Jacob lovers) that this story disapoints you, but all you can do is hope that things will get better. :) sorry, i cant give anything away. Thanks for all the reviews, i love you guys 33
