Ch.12- Identity Revealed


BPOV

My head was spinning. I woke up in a cold, dark room. A foul, sour stench hung in the air. I felt the cold, stone floor beneath me. Where am I? My hands were bound tightly behind my back making me wince in pain. I remembered; I was walking down the hall, lost, when someone came behind me and covered my mouth with a cloth. It was him. I could feel the panic begin to rise as I screamed for help, for Edward.

A door in the far corner squeaked as it opened suddenly. The light from the outside stung my eyes.

"Ah…Isabella, finally you're awake" his sickening voice taunted

EPOV

Where was she? I had just gotten back from dancing with the vile sisters, and Bella was missing. A crumpled note lay on the table where Bella had sat.

Don't bother looking for her…………your highness.

A mixture of panic and fear washed through me. Within seconds it turned to pure, raw rage.

"What's wrong Edward….where did Bella go?" Jasper placed a hand on my shoulder, sensing how tense I was.

I heard the rest of them talking, but I couldn't understand what they were saying. All I could think about was Bella…my sweet Bella…and him. That scum, I will hunt him down, and torture him slowly, making him feel unbelievable pain. He will suffer. My hands clenched tightly as I thought of Bella, alone and scared. When I find him I'm going to tear him apart.

"Edward" Emmett's large hand gripped my shoulder interrupting my violent thoughts… "Don't worry…we'll find her." Everyone nodded solemnly as they set the note on the table.

The entire ride back to the palace was unbearable. My mind only thought of Bella.

"Edward" Jasper stated... "We should inform father and mother"... "We will need there help"

"Yeah, they can hire the best private investigators" Emmett added hopefully while Alice and Rose sobbed

I had no choice but to call them.

"Ring…Ring…Ring...Hello, Charles Whimby, Personal assistant and advisor to the King"

"Charles…its Edward, please put my father on the line" I paced back and forth.

"Right away your highness" he replied formally handing the phone to my father.

"Edward" he greeted warmly. I could hear the smile in his voice.

"Father…I need your help" I said through clenched teeth as I thought of that man.

There was a long pause on the other side...then he spoke.

"What is it son…tell me" His voice was now, serious and controlled.

I thought of how to tell my father about Bella, the commoner that I loved, the same girl that was kidnapped because of who I am. I'm sure my parents would be glad I finally found someone I loved, but they would never consider a marriage. As much as my father wished for my happiness, he could not allow it; the law would not allow it.

"Edward…Son are you there?" he urged, breaking my chain of thought. My concern was back to Bella and him.

"Father, I met someone" I began…

"You had me worried there for a moment Edward, that's delightful" his voice was overjoyed, "Your mother will be very pleased-"

"She is sweet, and beautiful, caring, smart, and………she is a commoner" I finished

"Edward" he warned... "You know the rules, as the crown prince, you must marry a royal."

"Yes father, I know, but I love her…..and now…because of who I am, she has been kidnapped"

"Because of your disobedience and selfishness you have risked this young woman's life" he scolded sternly, for the first time in a long time.

"Father please, I have to find her, and know she's alright" I pleaded

He let out a frustrated sigh. "Fine, I will send my best investigators to the palace, where they can assist you find your lady friend. Once she is found, you are to leave her be, and marry Lady Tanya. Is that understood?"

"She has a name" I yelled angrily in the phone.

"Well you haven't told me yet, so please do enlighten me" he replied smartly

"Her name is Isabella Swan" I mumbled quietly into the phone. I heard a gasp on the other end.

"Father?" I asked slowly

"Edward…you're positive her name is Isabella Swan?" He asked seriously

"Yes" I replied. What could possibly be so remarkable about her name to my father?

"My God" I heard my father whisper faintly to himself. There was a long pause until he finally spoke.

"Your mother and I will be there tomorrow, first thing in the morning" he said sternly

"Why?" I asked curiously as I paced back and forth.

"I'll explain tomorrow"… "Goodbye son" I heard the phone click as the call ended

Why would Bella's name cause my father to act like that? Why were my father and mother coming? Thinking about Bella made me sad, guilty, and angry. I felt sad that she was alone and scared, not in my arms. I felt guilty that I was the reason why she was kidnapped. But over all I felt anger, a blistering rage…pure hate for that man. He is going to die I vowed to myself.

A soft knock on the door interrupted my thoughts.

"Edward?" Alice's soft voice came from the other side of the door

"Come in"

"Alice walked in, followed by Rose, Jasper and Emmett.

"Did you call mother and father?" Jasper asked

"Yes" I replied staring blankly out the window into the dark, bleak sky.

"They're both coming tomorrow" I added. I heard them begin to whisper to each other, shocked as I was… "First thing in the morning"

BPOV

He walked towards me in long, swift strides. I felt my body cringe as he came closer and closer.

"For a moment there I thought I had made the drug to strong" he laughed sadistically.

"W-who are you? W-what do you want from me?" I felt my voice shake as my sudden jolt of courage began to fade.

There was no answer

"Why do you need me?" How did I possibly fit in to all of this? Why did this man kidnap me?

"Tsk-tsk, Isabella," his tongue clicked as he shook his head "you are the key to getting what I want" he sneered… "You see, I should have been king, but my dear brother stole it from me"… "After he died….you were the last remaining heir"…. "Once you're out of the picture I will claim the throne as its true and rightful ruler" He laughed darkly

"W-who are you?" I asked as my voice shook

He paused, and smiled darkly.

"Why Isabella…I'm hurt" he placed a hand over his heart faking a look of hurt and shock. "You think you would remember your own Uncle" he smiled maliciously….
