A/n: All known characters belongs to Stephenie Meyer, I just play in her world. I do however own the plot. You people are still amazing me with your love of this story.

I was glad for the fact that I couldn't sleep because I knew I wouldn't get any while waiting for Demetri to arrive. We spent the night pacing the floors trying to figure out why Laurent would want to kidnap my beautiful Bella. It wasn't till almost the crack of dawn that Vic yelled out, "That fucking bastard, I can't believe that I didn't think of it till now."

"What are you talkin' about Vic?" Jasper asked her.

"I just remember why Laurent would kidnap Bella." she replied looking sick.

"Why?" I asked her.

"For me."

"I don't think we understand Victoria, please explain." Carlisle said.

She sighed, plopped down on the couch and waited for everyone else to take a seat. "When I found out that you guys killed James, I was pissed off and wanted revenge, not because he was my mate but because at the time I was the one that wanted to kill him, plus I was pissed that you guys chose a human over a fellow vampire. I was in Montana when I came across Laurent, I told him how you guys killed James and wanted to get revenge by killing Bella. He told me that we needed a solid plan first and then we went our separate ways.

Of course then I met Bella, got to know her and realized that she was in the same relationship that I was in, you see James was a liar and cheater, he would bang other chicks both human and vampire and expected me to follow his rules as if he was God. Once I learned of Edward's plan all other thoughts left my head; yes I know that I'm a vampire capable of having many thoughts at the same time, but my main concern was taking care of the first person that felt like a sister to me since my own sister/sire's death by the hands of the Volturi some fifty years ago."

"So you're saying what exactly?" I growled out.

"I'm saying that, that crazy vampire has been in hero worship mode towards me for I don't know how long. I guess he came back to Forks, saw Bella alone and figured that if he kidnapped her, that I would magically fall in love with him or something."

I shook my head, I couldn't believe this. I try to protect my girl from one crazy vamp and another one manages to take her.

"Garrett, I'm so, so sorry for not realizing sooner that he would have done this. When I saw him with the red eyes, I thought nothing of it seeing as how I knew he had been living with animal drinkers. I just figured that he slipped and would go back to them, I never in my wildest dreams think that he would do something like this."

I closed my eyes and said, "I want to be mad at you, truly I do but I know that I can't because you were protecting my girl from one crazy SOB and didn't have a clue that another one would do this."

I kept my eyes closed, not wanting to see anyone's face at that moment, I just wanted my girl back, I wanted to hold her in my arms and know that she is safe and not hurt. I felt a hand on my arm, I opened my eyes and saw Vic kneeling in front of me, I raised my eyebrow at her.

"I really am sorry." she replied, I could see the honesty shining in her eyes.

"I know." I replied with a small smile.

I gave her a quick hug after that and we went back to waiting on Demetri's arrival.

~xx~

It was just after 6am when there was a knock on the door; Carlisle stood up from his spot on the loveseat next to Esme and went to answer the door. "Ah Demetri, so good of you to come. Please come in." We heard Carlisle say. "Thank you Carlisle, it's good to see you again as well." Demetri responded in a strong British accent. I could hear Demetri step into the house, the door close and then Carlisle and Demetri walking towards the living room, where we were all sitting.

Esme stood up and walked to the door of the living room being the ever graceful host so that she could greet Demetri, Carlisle walked in first, placed a kiss on Esme's cheek and stood beside her, Demetri stood at the mouth of the door taking in his surroundings first before entering. Demetri was as tall as Peter and I, he had short black hair and his red eyes were bright which told me that he had feed recently.

After assessing the surroundings, Demetri stepped further into the room and politely took Esme's hand in his and placed a kiss on the back of her palm. "Welcome to our home Demetri, I can't thank you enough for helping to find our daughter." Esme said.

"The human is your daughter?" he asked confused.

"What did Aro tell you?" Carlisle inquired.

"Just that you requested my help." he replied.

"Perhaps we should feel you in a bit before we led you to the last place that Isabella was seen." Carlisle answered.

Demetri nodded his head, and then everyone took their seats and then Carlisle filled Demetri in oh everything that had happen since the first time that Bella arrived in Forks. The rest of the family filled in parts that Carlisle wasn't present for. Once Carlisle finished telling the story of Bella, Demetri was pissed after hearing the story of what Edward was planning on doing to Bella and the reason behind Laurent kidnapping Bella.

"Take me to the place that she was last seen." Demetri requested. We all stood and then he said, "No, no it's best that only a few come with me as I don't want the scent to be to muddled."

No one was happy about that, "How many do you want to come with you?" Carlisle asked.

"Four or five. I understand that all of you want to come, I can tell how much you all love Bella but it will be easier this way."

"We understand, is there anyone in particular that you wish to take with you?" I asked.

"Yes, I would like to take Major Whitlock, Captain Whitlock, Garrett, Victoria and Emmett."

We all nodded our heads and then went to gather the things that we would need to have on us, passports, money and ID. Once that was all gathered, we said goodbye to everyone, promised to keep them in the loop for what was going on and then took off towards Bella's scent.

We arrived at the edge of the forest near Bella's house and Demetri set to work gathering Bella and Laurent's scents. Under any other circumstances I would have laughed at how much he looked like a dog at this moment but I was too stressed out, I wanted my Bella and I wanted her now. After a few minutes Demetri said that he had the scent and direction and we took off running following Demetri.

Demetri was a really great tracker, I thought that maybe the scents would be to dull for him to pick up on, but he said that he only needed to get the scent once for it to stick permanently. We crossed maybe borders, when we entered Nebraska; Demetri said that this was where they were. It was early morning and people were getting up to go to work, so we would have to be extra careful. We stayed in the trees and ran till the houses were more spaced out.

"Where are we going?" I asked when we had come to a stop.

"I can smell them in an abandon house ten miles from where we are." Demetri replied.

"Can you tell how Bella is?" I asked worry lacing my tone.

"I can hear her heartbeat and it's strong, not in transition strong but human strong."

"Oh thank god she's still alive." I said relieved.

"I think before we go any further, we should come up with a plan to get to the house before Laurent notices and takes Bella." Major responded.

Demetri nodded his head and then we set about coming up with a plan. We knew that if we ran, our scents would be stronger so we would have to walk once we got closer to the house, we would also have to make sure that we stayed down wind. I was so eager to get my girl in my arms and to rip that son of a bitch to pieces that I didn't want to walk part way but I was reminded that I couldn't go in half cocked because we didn't have a clue as to what Laurent's mental state was and we didn't need him doing anything to Bella.

We turned off our phones, and then took off, when we were five miles to the house; we stopped running and walked the rest of the way. My body was vibrating and the pull in my heart was lessening the closer that we got the house. When the house came into view, I shuddered to think that my girl was locked in here. The paint was peeling, there were windows broken, titles had fallen off the roof, part of the porch was broken and it seemed to be sinking into the earth. My poor angel.

We made it to the yard of the house without any incident, we split up; Em, Peter and Vic in back and Jasper, Demetri and I in front, we wouldn't be able to send a signal when we were busting in because Laurent would hear, so we just had to have faith that we would enter at the same time. We counted the three and then rushed the door, the door flew off its hinges and landed with a loud thud on the floor, the back door did the same thing. If I thought that outside of the house was bad, it was nothing compared to the inside. There was a terrible order in the house that was a combination of rotten human food, urine, and blood. The floors and windows were covered in a thick coat of grim and there were broken tiles and floor boards.

If I was human I would have been sick at the sight of this house, my poor girl. I was glad that it was a bungalow, which meant that there wouldn't be too many rooms that we had to search. We spread out and started to search for my girl and Laurent. I could tell that Laurent was in this house, it was odd that Laurent hadn't come storming out as soon as the doors crashed to the very dusty, grimy floor.

We checked each room that we came across, there were old sticks of furniture in the rooms, carpets that were curling up in corners, covered in dust or covered in mold. All of them needed to be throughout, actually this whole house needed to be demolished. We finally came to the end of the hall and there was a steel door which was partially open and there was a light coming from under the door. I could hear my Bella's voice and heartbeat, smell her strawberry, chocolate and roses scent. My demon purred in response to knowing that we were close to my love. Jasper kicked the door open, Bella gasped and Laurent whipped around to face us.

"Hello, Laurent." I growled out.
