I didn't hurry to get changed; I actually took about 10 minutes. Then, I slowly walked back. Why couldn't she say yes? I HATE John Tucker, maybe I should wrap my hands around his throat. Some stupid prank on a worthless excuse for a boyfriend is more important then ME. I wasn't vain, it's just I was always nice to Bella, she loves me and I love her. Why can't she just be quiet and wear the ring? That would crush John Tucker right?

I left her, sure that was stupid and mean. However, she forgave me! This would be easier if she was just mad at me…well even then he would be more important. I finally reached the meadow; it had been about 15 minutes since I stormed away. She wasn't there…I could clearly smell another scent. A vampire scent. Victoria! No, no, no! I ran after the trail, it was old. I was most likely 15 minutes behind them. I ran as fast as possible, I got to an airport.

I walked through the airport, after purchasing a ticket to Volterra; one was waiting at the counter under my name and description. I guess Victoria was going to play a game with me, so I would follow her, even to the ends of the Earth. As long as Bella was safe. I called my family to alert them. I boarded the plane and spent the countless hours pretending to sleep. My mind was racing, I kept thinking of bad scenrios. I could practically hear Bella's screaming, screams of pain. I pictured her screaming at me, that I was too late, that she hated me, that she regretted ever loving me. Think positive, never doubt my love. Okay, Edward? Really I love you, I truly do. Just think positive, life isn't that bad. Especially when you have a beautiful vampire for a boyfriend. I could hear her giggle.

I remember that, one day when Charlie was working late, back before I left. It was during the summer between Junior and Senior year.

We were in Bella's room. She had on a tank top and short shorts. She said Alice ambushed her when I went home to change. I walked across the room. My hands found her hips, just before my lips found hers.

"Oh Bella, how could such an angel like you love me? I am just a monster, someone who should be in your nightmares." She laughed and kissed my lips then sighed.

"Edward, Edward, Edward, you are the one in my good dreams. Mike Newton is the monster of my nightmares. 'Bella want to go out for dinner?' 'Bella want to see a movie?' So if I ever say Mike's name in my sleep, wake me up! It's a nightmare!" I chuckled and she smiled at me.

"How though?" I questioned her again, lying down next to her and holding her hand. She leaned her head on my shoulder and took a deep breath.

"Think positive, never doubt my love. Okay, Edward? Really I love you, I truly do. Just think positive, life isn't that bad. Especially when you have a beautiful vampire for a boyfriend." She giggled and we smiled at each other. She really was a perfect angel. Maybe, just maybe, we belonged together. Maybe we were made for each other, neither of us believing that we deserved each other. All I knew was that I could never survive a day without her...I always think of her.

I smiled to myself. Think positive. I can do that, as long as I had Bella alive and well. I landed in Volterra and tried to find Victoria's trail, but I found nothing. I got a call from Alice.

"We got a note from Victoria. Come home ASAP. She is still alive, I can't see anything though." She said, she sounded so sad, I heard her yell at Jasper to stop. He must have been trying to numb her emotions. I got another ticket back to Seattle. We lived in Seattle since the school was there.

Another long flight and it had been about a little less than a day that Bella had been missing. Alice picked me up at the airport, I smelled a little of Victoria's scent. So she was in Seattle. I looked at the note as we ran to the car.

Dearest Edward,

If you are reading this, then you haven't found Bella…don't worry, I won't kill her until you are here. I will be in touch. By the way, I am not in Volterra, how stupid do you think I am…have myself anywhere near the Volturi, as if.

Sincerely,

Victoria

P.S. If you don't come, I will FedEx her dead body to you. You won't escape this.

"Hm, should I just kill you now and FedEx you to Edward? Or he can watch your death live…What do you think Riley?" Victoria purred, Riley was her new partner in crime, he thought they were mates but I could see right through it. I sat on the couch in the hotel room. Even if they are sadistic vampires, they at least order me food and let me use the ladies room. I would go hungry just to be back in Edward's arms. He probably hated me though. I shouldn't have refused his proposal. Now I may never see him again. Think positive, think positive. Victoria pulled out a cell phone.

"It can't be traced, I will give him directions, you get ten words, well I am feeling nice so twelve words, use them wisely." She glared at me, I told her his number. Riley placed his hand over my mouth so I wouldn't talk.

It was on speakerphone. Edward immediately picked up.

"Hello?" Edward practically growled into the phone.

"Oh Edward, be nice, I do have your mate. I could kill her with one wrong twitch of my pinkie finger." She laughed.

"Meet us at the clearing in the woods about five miles from the school you attend. Be there at dusk." Victoria voice purred with hate.

"Let me speak to her, I need to know she is alive."

"Very well, remember Bella, use your twelve words wisely." She and Riley broke out into laughter. His hand moved from my mouth. Edward spoke first.

"Bella Love?" He sounded so broken. Like when he was hunting James and we were apart for the first time.

"Edward? I will marry you, I'm sorry, I love you forever." I spoke, my voice filled with tears and all the love that I held for him in my heart. I will marry you…if we ever make it out alive that is. Think positive Bella!

"Okay, I will be there Victoria. She better not be harmed or you will sincerely regret any harm you inflicted on her." She ended the call.

"Riley you heard him, guess you are the only one who can harm her. Bella, I suggest you listen. You will die. Edward gets to live an eternity without you, images of me killing you forever grounded into his mind." They both laughed again and I was knocked unconscious by a flick of Riley's hand.

Hope you loved it! Review, I will try to update maybe tomorrow after I finish homework but I have makeup work to do…..so no guarantees.
