We scanned the woods and split up. Apollo was my only thought right now. I finally found a trail leading northwest and I followed it running until I came up on an old inn.
"Have you seen a russet colored boy and a little girl about ya high?" I asked the inn keeper motioning with my hands. I growled and hit the desk leaving a small hole.
"Hey miss you'll have to pay for that." He barked at me. I looked him full in the face.
"Oh your highness I'm sorry."
"Becareful who you talk to." I told him sternly as I left. I knew the others would be worried about me and i rolled my eyes at the thought. No one should have to worry about me. I felt my cell phone vibrate in my pocket, it was a call from Edward.
"Hi." I said answering.
"Bella where are you we're all worried." He said in a panicked voice.
"I'll be back alright." I said quietly, He cared so much about me. I knew Jafan had sent Jacob...what other motive would he have?
"I love you," He said,
"I love you too." I replied.
:"Please come home." He pleaded.
"Not untiil I find Apollo." With that I hung up the phone and continued following the trail. I changed my hair back into its long black and red streaked look, that I'd used for school and I changed into complete leather and set off once again. Jafan was going to pay. I finally came across a castle. It was dark and everything in it gave me chills. This was his castle. I heard crying and ran up the stairs. There was my Apollo on the ground held there by a man as he what I guessed, probing through her mind.
"Get your hands off of her.!" I growled.
"Aaha Artemis I see you have come for your daughter." he said laughing.
"Jafan what do you want?"
"You my dear. You see you would make the perfect addition to my collection of princesses. I'm gonna make you pay." He growled.
"Aah shes here." Jessica said as he entered.
"Momma?" Apollo shrieked.
"SIlence child." He said as he smacked her. I tackled him and began throwing punches to his face. He grabbed my uper arms and I felt extreme pain and screamed once and then locked my teeth.
"Strong are you?" He said almost out of breath. I let out one pain filled cry.
"Mommy!" APollo screamed.
"What do you want?" I finally managed. He dropped me and I fell down the large stair case.
"Come with me." He motioned. I ran to the top of the stairs and even though my body ached I picked up Apollo and held her close to my chest. She was wearing a frilly black dress her hair was done up in curls with a silver tiara she had black gloves and black lipstick. .Ugh. Alice would throw a fit.
"Dear Artemis. I want you to become my servant" He sneered. "With you under my control nothing would be able to stop us.
"No!" I growled.
"Either you stay or the girl does."
"You know my decision."
"ah the love of a mother for her daughter. So beautiful." He said.
"Momma don't stay." Apollo pleaded.
"Baby you know I wont let you stay here in my place. I'll be fine I promise."
"So we've reached a verdict?"
"Yes I will stay in my daughter's place." How much had I been through? WHy did it come to this? Using what little of my powers I had left I sent her home with an I love you and a message to our family. But I knew she could hear my screams as Jafan put his hands on my head and drained me of all the will power I had left.
APollo's POv
I hated leaving mommy, but she sent me...and because of me she's gonna die. i ran to Reece's room. He was sitting in there holding Renesmee as she cried. I opened the door and when they saw me they embraced me hard.
"I'm so glad your back..." They said over and over again. "Where's mom?"
"She stayed in my place....she gave up herself for me." I explained. Their faces twisted horribly and Renesmee started crying again.
"We gotta tell daddy." I said. "Where's Anthony? and Amara?" I asked.
"Anthony's with dad. and Amara and Anna and Terrance left this morning." Rensmee said.
"Lets go." I said. The three of us went to dad's room and I was crying before we got half way there.
"Daddy." i cried. He looked at me immediately then ran to hug me, I looked around and saw Auntie Rose, Auntie Alice , Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Emmett and Jasper. Auntie Alice ooked about ready to cry,
"Baby where's your mother?"He asked me hopefully.
"She's with....she stayed in my place that's the only way Jafan would let me go." I said as I kept crying. Daddy's eyes got wide.
"You'd better get out of here." Auntie Rosalie said as she scooped me up, and everyone left exept for daddy. Soon we heard things breaking and crashing and I heard him crying. He kept cussing over and over again.
"She's not dead!" I yelled into the room. He reopened the door and he ran to me.
"Tell me what happened, He said as he sat down in a chair and put me on his lap.
"Well Jafan is looking through my mind trying to find out stuff about Mommy and you, then mommy busts in the room and looks angry like really angry. Jafan got real mad and slapped me." Dad growled and I waited for him to finish. " mommy tackled him and he did somethin' real bad to her she started screaming I don't know what happened and then he threw her down the stairs. Then he starts talking about him wanting her to serve him and allowing her to be in complete control of her and all this stuff. She says no." Dad gave a nod. "Then he says either she stays and they talk about it or I stay. She sends me here and that's what happened. "
