Rosalie's POV
It was Sunday afternoon and Emmett had to go out for a little bit. I was nervous having Emmett leave but I would feel guilty if I put a halt to his normal activities.
I was sitting in the Cullen's living room watching a movie with Esme and Bella when Edward came into the room. He sat on the other end of the couch as me and began to watch the movie as well. I tensed up as he sat down. Why is he sitting by me? He hates me. He probably thinks I am disgusting from what he has heard about me this weekend.
Just then Esme stood up.
"I think I should probably start dinner now," she announced.
"I'll help," Bella said, as she got up from the couch and followed Esme into the kitchen.
No! I pleaded in my mind. Don't leave me in here alone with him!
The movie was coming to an end and soon the credits began to play. We both sat there and watched them scroll across the screen until there was no more left. Edward than turned to look at me. I looked away, and down into my hands.
"Just to let you know, Rosalie, I don't hate you," he told me.
I just kept my head down and nodded.
He got up and scooted closer to me on the couch. I tensed up a bit.
"Contrary to what you may believe, I am a pretty good guy. I care a lot about Emmett, and I would never do anything to hurt you."
I nodded again, still not meeting his eyes.
"I know we aren't close, but I am always here if you need someone to talk to. You have already become such a big part of this family. Esme and Carlisle adore you, Alice is beyond ecstatic that she has someone to shop with, Bella and Jasper basically love everybody, and as for me, I just want to be something you have never had, a brother. There is never a time where you cannot call on me for help. What has happened to you is not fair, and as long as I'm around, it will never happen again."
I started tearing up in the middle of his little speech. I finally looked up at him. Edward had a soft smile on his face. He tentatively reached his arms around me and pulled me into a hug. I turned around and put my arms around his neck and rested my head on his shoulder.
"Thank you, Edward," I said softly.
"No Rose, thank you."
We pulled out of the hug and looked at each other.
"Rosalie, you have no idea how much you complete this family. Emmett has never been so happy in his life and seeing my brother the way he is around you… it's absolutely amazing."
The rest of the day seemed to fly by after my talk with Edward. I even opened up a bit more to Emmett.
At the moment we were sitting on the couch watching The Simpsons and laughing like fools.
"Hey Rose?" Emmett started after he sobered up from his last laughing fit.
"Yeah?"
"Tomorrow's Monday, so…well, do you think you would be ok to go to school?"
"Yes, I suppose," I sighed.
I really just wanted to stay at the Cullen house with Emmett and hang out, but I knew that we would have to go to school sooner or later.
"Emmett? Do you know, well, if Royce has told the police that I ran away?"
"Carlisle said that he checked with the police station and no missing persons reports have been filed."
"So, Royce can't get me at school?"
"No, Sweetie, I would never let that happen," Emmett said, as he pulled me into his chest.
"Jesus, Rose! Who the hell were you passing that to?" Lauren yelled at me.
I was in gym and we were outside playing soccer. We were practicing passing, and I had booted the ball into the woods surrounding the school.
"Well, don't just stand there, Rose, get your ass in that woods and get the fucking ball!"
I just glared at her and ran into the woods to look for the ball. I had walked about 50 feet into the dense brush and then I spotted.
"There you are," I said to myself.
I ran over to pick up the ball when I felt someone grab me from behind. I thrashed in his grip. I took a deep breath ready to scream bloody murder when I felt a disgusting hand come over my mouth.
"Settle down there, my pet," The man said.
I knew that voice. James.
"Royce has been looking everywhere for you. You have been a very naughty girl Rosalie, running away from a man who loves you so dearly."
My heart pounded in my chest and hot tears began to run down my cheeks.
James forced me down on the ground on my stomach and took his hand off my mouth. Just as I was about to try to scream again, James pulled out a switch blade and held it against my cheek.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you, wouldn't want anything to happen to that pretty face of yours, would we now?"
James then pulled out some rope and duct tape from a duffle bag he had sitting next to him. My eyes grew wide as he began to tie my hands behind my back. When my hands were tightly bound, he flipped me over and put a piece of duct tape over my mouth. Then he swung me up and over his shoulder and began running through the forest.
After about ten minutes, we reached the edge. I heard a car door open and I was thrown into the back seat. I sat up and looked around. There was another man on the other side of the seat. I recognized him. He was one of Royce's friends that raped me that night.
"Hey there baby doll," he cooed.
I scooted the furthest I could away from him.
"Aw, don't be like that, sugar."
He moved over and closed the distance between us.
"Hey!" I heard James yell from the front "Royce wants her to himself this time."
"Jeez, James, I was just playin' with her, that's all."
"You can play with her, just don't rip or take her clothes off," James sighed.
The man grinned maliciously at me. His hand snaked its way up my shirt and under my bra. He began to grope my breasts roughly. I whimpered as he pinched my nipple.
This went on the entire car ride. The man would suck at my neck while touching me and saying the most vulgar things I could ever think of. All the while, tears streamed down my face. Where was Emmett?
Alice's POV
Having Rose stay with us was putting quite a strain on our family. I was really happy for Emmett, but having a human around for that long was really testing our self control. Jasper was having the toughest time of all. It hurt me to watch him berate himself every time he had a fleeting fantasy of biting Rose.
On Monday we decided that everyone, save Emmett and Carlisle would go hunting.
I was deep in the forest, finishing up my meal when a vision hit me. It was Rosalie. She was in a car. Her hands were tied and her mouth was covered in duct tape. There was a man in the back seat molesting her as they drove.
I gasped as I came out of the vision. I yanked my phone out of my pocket, completely destroying it in the process.
"FUCK!" I yelled.
I began running through the woods looking for my family. I found Edward first.
"Edward!" I screamed, scaring off his prey.
"Goddamnit Alice!"
"Give me your phone!"
"Why?" he questioned.
Of course, he always has to ask why.
"Edward Anthony Cullen if you don't give my your fucking phone in 2 seconds, I will castrate you with my bare hands!"
I replayed the vision in my head for. Edward's eyes went wide, and he pulled out his phone and tossed it to me. I punched in Emmett's number and waited for him to pick up.
"Edward?" Emmett started.
"No, Alice. Emmett, I just had a vision about Rose."
"Oh god, is she ok?!"
"No, I saw her in a car tied up in a backseat."
I didn't mention the man because I didn't want to upset Emmett anymore than he was going to be.
"When is this going to happen?!" he practically shouted.
"That's the thing…it already has."
The line was silent.
"Emmett, We are all going to come home as fast as we can. We should be there in a half hour. Call Carlisle and meet us at the house ok? I will look out for her."
"Alright, Alice, please hurry." He pleaded
"I will Em, we will."
OH NO! Royce is back! What will happen next?! Seriously though, what the hell s going to happen next? I have many ideas at where I could take this story but I am not sure which one to choose. I am in need of someone to bounce ideas off of. If you would like to be that person, please pm me.
EXPLANATIONS!
1) Why was Alice's vision so late?
Alice's visions are not perfect. Plus, she was hunting and very preoccupied with what she was doing.
2) Why didn't Emmett know what was going on?
Although vamps have super hearing, I don't think Emmett would be able to hear James and Rose, from where he was (which, is sitting in class), unless he was really focused on listening to them.
Just thought I would answer some questions before they were asked :)
Normally I don't write clifhangers. Mainly because they piss me off, but I thought I would try something new.
With all my heart,
Kat
