Hey everyone srry it took me so long to update I have been really busy with other things and my mind has sorta just been so...not Edward and Celeste interested...sigh...but I am back and am out of my rut...so I hope you all enjoy the chapter and read and review!! :)


Edward's POV

Words could not describe how worried and frustrated I was at the moment. What had Celeste been thinking?! Running off like that?! Had she lost all sense of mind?! Apparently, if she wasn't dead I would surely kill her when she got back. I didn't have a beating heart but if I did I can bet that it would have stopped!

I smacked the shield once more. Still it did not budge.

"Edward, would you stop that?" Alice asked. "She is fine."

"How do you know?!" I snapped.

"Uhh…can see into the future…" she said smartly.

I sat down at the edge of the barrier and sighed, I needed to really watch how I talked to my family, and they were after all in support of me dating Celeste.

"How did they even find us?" Emmett asked joining me.

"I don't know…but I will find out."

We sat their staring through the purple wall, it felt like forever until I could see something in the woods. Whoever it was they were limping…and from the smell…bleeding…oh, god…cinnamon.

"It's Celeste!" I said shooting up.

Carlisle came racing out of the restaurant and suddenly the shield broke into a glittery dust. I looked at the figure and watched as she collapsed and using all my speed I ran to her; followed by Carlisle, Alice and Emmett. It was Celeste to my great horror and she was covered in blood…not just hers either from the smell of things.

"Oh, damn it Celeste!" I said pulling her up into my arms.

She was still conscious.

"Alice, " Celeste whispered, "I'm so sorry about the dress."

Alice shook her head and chuckled.

"It's just a dress Celeste…there's only one you."

I couldn't have said it any better myself; unfortunately all my words were caught in my throat.

"Celeste…what happened to April?"Carlisle asked.

Celeste began sobbing until she couldn't catch her breath.

"I…I…"

"Celeste," I said calmly, "calm down…we can't understand you."

"I…k-k-killed my sister…"

And the rest was all sobs and pleas, the plea that I would not leave her because she was a filthy murdered.

"Celeste," I said sitting her up, "your sister would have killed you too-"

"She…she didn't…even…f-f-fight…fight back!" she stuttered.

I held Celeste close and then looked to Carlisle.

"We have to leave…we need to go back to the house."

"Are you insane?!" Emmett snapped. "They'll no doubt look for her there!"

"He's right," Alice said with a blank stare, "they were at the house-"

"Rosalie-"

"Is fine…she was the one that had told April where Celeste was…they are waiting…we need to run!"

I pulled Celeste up into my arms, she was now completely silent, I sat her in the front seat of my Volvo and strapped her in.

"Edward, "she breathed, "I…I am sorry..."

I sighed.

"We are going to leave Celeste; we will never have to deal with this again!"

I shut the Volvo door and then went back to Carlisle.

"Okay, Ireland." I said crossing my arms over my chest.

"Ireland?" Carlisle repeated.

"Yes, it's the one safe place for Celeste and me."

"Edward, that is insane! You would have to fly to get that far away!"

"Then Scotland! I don't care but we can't stay here!"

Carlisle looked at me and then to my car, and as if anticipating his thoughts I raced to the Volvo. I looked in the window and what I saw made me scream out in frustration and pain!

"NO! NO! NO! NO!" I yelled. "They took her!"

Carlisle came to me and sighed.

"They had planned it, all of it; they even sacrificed one of their own to get her." Carlisle stated sadly.

I got into my car and turned the key in the ignition.

"Edward…you can't just go and get her."

"Watch me!" I grumbled.

"Edward…the Head Warlocks have her…they are not stupid…killing you will not be hard!"

I sighed and placed my head on the steering wheel.

"Then what the Hell do we do?"

"We come up with a plan." Alice said coming towards me. "They aren't going to kill her Edward, she is bait for you."

I hated this! I hated every little thing about this. We should have stayed home to be safe, but all because we became stir crazy we left the house and Celeste was close to death.

"Then what do we do?"

"You seek outside assistance."

We turned to find Celeste's brother Ian standing a couple of feet away. I snarl could be heard on my part and I jumped right out of my seat on top of him. We well into the grass with a thud and for a minute we wrestled until I finally ended up on top of him with my nails digging into his flesh.

"Give me a reason…why I shouldn't send you to Hell right now!" I growled.

Ian struggled to answer at first maybe that was because I had my hands wrapped around his throat.

"Because…" he gasped. "I can help you…save…Lestie…"

"Edward get off of him!" Carlisle spat.

I did so reluctantly, but if there was any chance of helping Celeste I would just have to take it.

"My sister…I love her…I will help you save her…" he said rubbing his throat. "Even if it means that I have to die in the process."

"Why?" I grit out. "What made you so noble?"

Ian looked at me with sad eyes and said, "I spent most of my life comforting that little girl, the sun for me rises and sets around her…I hurt her…hurting her was something I promised to never do…Protecting her was something I promised to always do."

Carlisle placed a hand on my shoulder and nodded.

"Edward, we don't have any other options…we need him as much as I hate to admit it."

I sighed, alright then, I would allow the coward to help us but once this was all over…well let's just say that he better not have any future plans for life.

"Alright, what are they going to do to Celeste?" I asked relaxing my muscles.

Ian rubbed his neck with the back of his hand and I heard the bone crack slightly.

"We can't talk about it here; we need to go somewhere more private."

"Like?" Emmett asked.

"My house."

Ian's house wasn't nearly as big as the actual Webber Manor but it had its own charm. It was what they call a London Flat, which was strange because his house wasn't even in London, maybe if I knew what town we were in I would no the proper name for the house. He walked up to the door which was encrypted with strange symbols.

"It is a protection charm; I altered it to keep out other wizards rather then other vampires."

"What would happen if an unfamiliar witch came in?" Alice asked.

Ian chuckled and said, "You don't want to know."

I glared at him coldly and watched as he pushed the door open and walked inside. We followed close behind and although my family was rather relaxed and calm about the situation I remained on guard. I didn't care what this guy said; saying and doing something were two completely different things!

He lit a few candles, wanting the house to appear as empty as possible. We sat at a large dining room table in hard wooden chairs and waited. When Ian came back he had arms filled with notebooks and other scraps of paper.

"What's all this?" I asked.

"This," he said dumping it all onto the table, "Are routes under the Webber mansion using the underground sewer systems of London."

"Sewer system?' Alice repeated.

Ian nodded and sat down, "You didn't think that we would just walk right in did you? No way, security is tight and believe me when I say it is very dangerous."

He rolled out a map of London and took out a red pen.

"The house is here," he said circling a large chunk of the town, "and the Warlocks will probably have security throughout the entire place including all the forestry around the estate."

He pulled out another thing of schematics and pointed to a specific line.

"This," he said, "is the one place their magic would not go, the sewers. Believe me, with how long these systems have been shut down they would not suspect a thing."

"What about when we have to get into the house?"

"The basement," he said placing a flimsy paper out and showing it to use, "father at one time believed that it would be smart to put un an alternate route of escape, he has long since forgotten about it but it is still effective."

I nodded and began examining each of the papers locking it into my photographic memory.

"Where will Celeste be?" Carlisle asked.

"I heard farther say he was going to keep her in one of the spare rooms, that is where you come in Edward," he said pointing to me, "You should be able to smell her from miles away."

"I can't hear her thoughts though, that makes it a little more difficult."

"Celeste will be at a very weakened and sedated state, you might be able to get through her barriers but if you can't then you will have to rely on your sense of smell."

I nodded; all in all this seemed like a pretty good plan. A search and rescue mission the only thing I wanted to know right now was whether or not Rosalie was there as well.

"What have they done with my sister?" Edward asked.

Emmett sighed and looked down sadly, "They are going to make Celeste kill her…they want her to suffer for her defiance to the Head Warlocks."

I shook my head and then turned to Carlisle. "She will never do that." I said.

"No," Ian agreed, "she is far too noble to do such a thing."

"What happens if they catch us?"

"Warlocks and wizards are human, so that means so long as you dodge their spells you should be able to kill them."

I nodded and stood from the table.

"Looks like we have our plan." I said finally.

"Yep," Emmett said with a nod, "let's just hope it goes according to plan."
