This chapter is really short but I didn't want to make you guys wait too long.

Chapter 12 My Heart Beats for Only You

EPOV

When we arrived at the store, Alice was frantic. She talked to store manager and was able to review the security tapes. On the tapes you could clearly see Bella one moment and the next she was gone. Her face didn't even show anything going on. I went to the spot she was last seen at and sniffed the air but got nothing. Her scent was there up until that point but then it was gone.

Everyone's thoughts ranged from panicked (Esme) to rage (Emmett). We were all trying to come up with theories when Emmett actually had a good idea. "Say that idea, Em."

"Huh? What idea?" I swear he doesn't even know what's going on inside his brain sometimes.

"Your theory on what happened, just say it out loud."

"Oh, well I was just thinking that it's kinda like the person had some kind of invisible blanket and threw it over Bells." Carlisle looked thoughtful for a moment then pulled out his phone. I was looking at Sam, hoping he would speak up and mention that the wolves could do something like that but he was quiet. I turned back to Carlisle.

"Hello, Eleazar. I need your help. Bella has been kidnapped but there is no scent from her or her attacker. We also reviewed security tapes from where she was taken and she is standing there looking at some items and then she disappears. We went to the spot and her scent leads up to it but then disappears where she did. Do you know of any talent that can do this?"

"Carlisle, there is one vampire I knew could do this but it cannot possibly be her." I heard Eleazar clearly say.

"Why not? Who is this person?"

"Carlisle, Irina can do that but she wouldn't hurt family."

"Where is Irina? Can I speak with her?"

"I'm sorry Carlisle. She left a couple days ago. She said she needed to be alone for a little while. She's having a hard time dealing with Tanya's death."

"Do you know where she went?"

"No, I'm sorry. She owns some property in Canada. I'm sorry but I can't believe it's her. If this person has the same ability has her then know that she cannot use it again for 48 hours so you must hurry. I wish you the best of luck."

Carlisle turned to the rest of us. "It's her, it has to be. She must be blaming Tanya's death on Bella. Can you see anything on Irina Alice?"

"No, I can't. It's just like with the wolves." Alice was rubbing her temples and I knew she was getting upset with herself.

"Ok, let's check all of the videos from every surveillance camera. I want Rose, Emmett and Jasper to keep checking for scents, go all the way down the road on both sides."

I stayed with Carlisle to check all of the tapes. Nothing stood out until I saw a woman wearing sunglasses adjust her wig. I kept an eye on her the entire time and noticed that she disappeared.

"Carlisle, that's her with the wig. I can't tell if it's Irina or not through." I pointed out the woman and we watched her again.

"Let's watch the outside surveillance and see if she shows up there." I was going to find her if it was the last thing I did.

We watched the outside surveillance and saw the woman go in right after Bella. It looked like she was following the girls all day but was careful to stay far enough away. We didn't see her again until we noticed a car pull up outside the video rental store beside the music store. The driver got out and left the car running when all of a sudden the car leaves without the man who drove it. When he came out of the store it was obvious it was stolen.

"I have the plates from the car. Hopefully we can track it and find her. We will find her, Edward." Carlisle still had hope but I was losing it fast. She could already be gone.

I woke up with a pounding head. I tried to sit up and see where I was but I was so dizzy and my vision blurred. What happened to me? I tried to call out but I couldn't make my mouth work. I couldn't make anything work. I slowly sat up and noticed I was chained to something; it looked like some kind of pipe. The room was dark but my eyes were slowly adjusting and I started to make out objects. There was a chair directly in front of me about five feet away and that was all that was in the room. There was one window but it was covered by dark drapes and there was just a sliver of light coming through. All of a sudden I heard something move from my right and I turned to it. There was a large man who looked to be chained up on the other side of the room. Where the hell was I? I saw him turn towards me and I could then make out his face. My heart starting pounding and I pushed myself up against the wall as far I could.

"I'm glad you're finally up. I was starting to get worried about you." He smiled at me.

"Where am I? What the hell do you want, Jacob?" I spat at him.

"Look, I'm really sorry about everything earlier. I thought you were my imprint but I was very wrong. I found my imprint, my true imprint. And I don't know where we are but Irina is keeping us here? What did you do to her? She is like batshit crazy, which totally sucks for me cuz I freakin love her." He looked really sad at this but I was confused as hell.

"I didn't do anything to her. Her sister tried to kill me but my family saved me and killed her. What do you mean you love her?" This is like the Twilight Zone or something.

"She's my imprint. Only she's so far gone, she doesn't see it. Apparently, she saw me attack Edward and assumed I would help her so she found me. The second I saw her I knew she was the one, and I also knew the pack would be against it so I separated myself. When I refused to kidnap you like she wanted she chained me up here." He looked really sad and defeated and I almost felt bad for him.

"Well what are we going to do? We have to get out of here or she'll kill us!"

"I can't leave her. If she kills me then so be it. I would do anything for her." Crap, he was going to be no help at all.

I sat there and tried to come up with a plan. With Jacob here, Alice won't be able to see me. I have no idea what I'm going to do. I tried dropping my shield and yelling at Edward with my thoughts hoping he might be close enough. I don't know how long I sat there when the door opened. There wasn't much light that came in and I looked to the window and noticed it was dark out. Irina walked in holding and old oil lamp. I noticed she was wearing a wig that looked almost exactly like Tanya's hair.

"Well someone's finally awake. I still haven't decided how I'll kill you but we have time. No one knows where you are and no one will find you." She was walking closer to me and crouched down in front of me.

"Come on, Irina. Please let Bella go and you and I can run away and be happy. Please, I love you!" Jacob was pleading with her and she turned her attention to him. I didn't know what to do and I just took my chance. I threw my hands up and shoved the oil lamp onto her. The oil spread over her quickly and the fire followed. She was screaming and thrashing around and I just tried to get as far away as possible. Jacob was screaming and her and in his panic he actually broke his chains. He couldn't get to her in time though and she was gone but as she thrashed the drapes caught fire and the room was burning.

"Jacob, please help me! You have to get me out of here. Please!" He wasn't listening at all! He tried reaching for her body and was burned. He let out an anguished sound but finally seemed to come to his senses.

I pleaded with him again, "Jacob, please help me!"

He looked over at me and scowled. "You killed her! Why should I help you?!" And with that he shifted and started stalking towards me.

We managed to track the car and found it abandoned in Canada. We all went including Sam. He wanted to help out as much as he could. Alice still could not see anything but it didn't matter since Sam was too close to her. As each second passed, I lost a little more hope. I was thankful Alice couldn't see anything because I was already planning my next step. I would not live in a world where she doesn't exist. It's as simple as that. My only wish was that I somehow would be granted into the gates of heaven with her. She was an angel and deserved nothing less than eternal bliss. I was brought out of my thoughts when we pulled up to the car. It was on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. Sam decided to shift and see if he could help pick up and scents. There was a vague scent of Irina and Bella but we couldn't track it. All of a sudden Sam's mind went crazy.

I saw Bella and she was cowering down trying to make herself as small as possible while pleading with whatever was approaching her. I realized it was Jacob's mind. Somehow Sam was able to see his mind. He was distraught about someone dying and was intent on killing Bella. Thankfully one of the things about the wolves was that when they read each other's mind, they could track each other easily. I took off into the woods with Sam trailing me. The minds of the family were confused but they followed.

We came up to a shack that was on fire. I could hear Bella pleading with Jacob but he just kept stalking her. I didn't think I just burst through the wall and was able to take Jacob down and we both went through the adjoining wall. He started circling me and snarling while I did the same. Just as he was going to attack Sam came out of nowhere and tackled Jacob, knocking him out. I turned around and saw Carlisle carrying and unconscious Bella and laying her on the ground.

"Watch him and do not let him up!" I commanded Sam. Not wanting to take any chances, I nodded to Emmett and Jasper and they joined Sam. I ran over to Carlisle.

"Please tell me she's ok." I begged.

"She's inhaled a lot of smoke and she's dehydrated. We need to get medical attention for her quickly after I stabilize her." Carlisle was working on Bella and I paid close attention to her breathing and heartbeat. It was the only sound I could hear.

I sat on the ground by Bella's head and was stroking her hair and murmuring in her ear how much I loved her and how I was going to make her my wife and soon. I just kept repeating it like a mantra when I heard commotion coming from where Jacob was. I saw him stand and looked like he wanted to attack Sam but then looked to the burning building and let out a sorrowful howl. Everyone was kind of shocked and then he suddenly jumped back into the building only to never come out.

Bella was finally stable and I gently lifted her into my arms, completely forgetting the scene I just witnessed and took off to the cars. She was my only concern. I got into Carlisle's car with Carlisle, Esme, and Alice. From their thoughts the others were going to take care of the fire and see if there are any clues. We had no idea where Irina was still.

Sorry for the uber short chapter. I was going to bring Tanya back but felt the need to shake it up. Let me know what you thought!
