I opened my eyes, and felt a pounding in my head. I'd never felt anything else like it before while I was a vampire. How was it possible that I had a headache? I was a vampire. Briefly I thought of going to ask Carlisle, before I remembered what had happened. How those people had kidnapped me, and Andrew was going to kill me. I didn't remember what happened after that. I leapt up and looked around. I was in some kind of a hotel room, there was no one else here. What happened? Where was I?
I pulled, and soon, with my vampire strength, the door came open. I rushed into the hallway, and looked either way. No one was there. I went to the elevator, and pressed the button. As I was waiting for the lift, I heard voices coming down the corridor. I realized that I needed to get away from here, and contact Edward, or anyone in my family.
I turned in the opposite direction and went down the stairs. I flew at vampire speed down five flights of stairs and soon I was at the bottom. I flung open the door, and I was in the lobby of a hotel. The receptionist saw me and smiled. I smiled back, and casually walked to the entrance of the hotel. I wanted to run so badly, but I couldn't let the receptionist know anything was wrong. I was almost at the door, when I felt someone's hand clamp down on my wrist.
I spun around and saw Andrew. He looked stressed and tired, and he kept looking around, as if he was watching out for someone. "Going somewhere?" He asked me.
"Please, just let me go. What do you want with me?" I cried.
Andrew looked around at the receptionist, but she was on the phone and wasn't paying attention.
"Come back to the room with me, we'll talk there."
"No! I'm not going anywhere with you." I said to him.
The receptionist looked up, hearing my raised voice.
'Come on, Bella. Don't make a scene."
I looked down to where he was gripping my wrist tightly.
"Please, help me. This man is trying to kidnap me!" I screamed. The receptionist looked shocked.
Andrew glared at me. "You shouldn't have done that."
"Please, help me!" I cried out to the receptionist again.
She saw Andrew grabbing my wrist, and she reached for the phone.
"I'll call the police." She said worriedly. I looked around the lobby, but there was no one else to help me. The receptionist looked at Andrew. "I'm calling the police, they'll be here soon, you should just step away from her." She looked scared, though she tried to sound confident.
Andrew shook his head angrily. "You made this happen."
Before I could react Andrew was standing next to the receptionist. She screamed. "What..how did you get here so fast?"
"Blame her for this." Andrew said quietly, pointing to me.
His hands moved so fast, and before I could help her, he reached out and snapped her neck. She slumped to the floor, and the phone fell from her hand.
I screamed. "You killed her." I was in shock.
Andrew shrugged and picked up her body from the floor. "You forced me to do this. I couldn't let her call the police."
I watched in horror, as he dumped her body in a cupboard. I thought about running, but I was still in shock from watching Andrew murder the innocent receptionist.
Once he'd hidden the body, he grabbed me, and dragged me back up to the room I was in originally. He threw me down on the bed, and sat down opposite me. Jack entered the room, a few minutes later.
He saw Andrew looking tense, and the expression of horror on my face, and looked concerned. "What happened?"
"She woke up. Isn't that what you wanted?" Andrew said, sounding annoyed.
"Please, just tell me what's going on." I said to Jack, appealing.
He sighed. "We're on the run."
"From who?"
"The man we work for."
"Who is he?"
"Trust me, it's safer for you if you don't know. He'll be after us."
"Why is he after us? I thought you guys worked for him."
"Well…he's after us because of Jack." Andrew said.
I frowned, confused. "Why?"
Jack sighed. "He ordered us to kill you…but I couldn't let Andrew go through with it."
I stood up, and went over to Jack. "Why not? Why didn't you let me kill him?"
Jack looked down, and avoided looking me in the eye.
Andrew sighed. "Let's skip past all the mushy stuff, and get to the point. We're not your enemy, Bella. The man we used to work for, is after all three of us, and to be honest, you'd be safer with us right now. If we let you go, you'll be dead in five minutes."
I frowned. "Maybe. But if we find Edward, and the rest of my family. They'll protect me."
Jack shook his head. "We can't risk it. He'll have found out now that we didn't kill you, and he'll be after us, and you."
I sighed, and sank down onto the bed. "But how long do we have to run from him?"
Andrew shrugged. "I'm guessing for a very long time."
"No! What about my family? I can't just stay away from them forever!"
"Well you're going to have to."
I glared at Andrew, but Jack stepped between us.
"Look, Bella. I know you're eager to go back to your family, to….Edward, the man you love, but for now you're going to have to stay away from him. I promise it won't be long, Bella. Just trust me."
He looked me straight in the eyes, and took my hand. "Please, just trust me."
I didn't know why, but for some reason I believed him, and I did trust him. I nodded.
"Alright."
Andrew nodded, satisfied. "Let's go."

We'd been following the scent for an hour, before we reached a hotel.
"They must be in here." Alice said.
I felt anxious, I really hoped Bella was alright.
"There are people in there so act normal." Carlisle said.
I nodded, and we all entered the hotel. There was no one in the lobby, and no receptionist.
I looked at Alice and she shrugged. "The scent is weak here, there's a lot of perfume, like someone tried to cover it up."
I nodded, agreeing with her. "Where's the receptionist?" Rosalie asked.
We looked around, but there was no one in sight.
"Hey guys, I think you should look at this." Emmett said. We went over to him, he was standing in front of a cupboard, holding the door open.
We looked inside, and I heard Alice gasp.
"I found a scent coming from here, so I looked inside, and found her."
I looked around, before picking the young girl up, and putting her down outside.
"Vampire killed her."
"It means they were here." I said grimly.
"What kind of people is she with? They killed an innocent woman, she's so young as well, she had a life, friends, and family." Alice said sadly.
"Come on, we have to find Bella." I said.
Carlisle nodded. "You guys look through the hotel, I'll take care of her." He said, pointing to the receptionist.
We all nodded, and searched through the hotel, but there was no sign of Bella.
We were gathered in the lobby, discussing our options when a woman walked into the hotel.
Vampire.
I heard Alice's voice in my head. I nodded and no one spoke, we all waited, to see what she was going to do. We stepped quickly behind the wall, so we were out of her line of sight.
She looked around quickly, before she took out a phone and dialed a number.
She didn't register we were vampires. Why?
Alice's voice, in my head again.
"She's not concentrating. She seems worried." I spoke so softly, that only my family heard.
We all went quiet again, listening to the phone conversation.
"Yeah, it's me. I'm at the hotel, where Alexis said he saw them, but they're not here, they've gone. No, I don't know where. What? Yeah, that's right. I think so. Don't worry we'll find them and kill them. I know some people who owe me some favours, I'll get them to help. We'll find them and kill them. I know I already said that, but I mean it. What? Alright we'll kill the girl, but I'll bring you the two guys. Are you sure you want to torture them for disobeying you? I know they went against you to protect the girl but…yeah ok, I understand. Alright. We have people keeping a watch, and I'll be there constantly. Ok, ok. I love you too."
She looked around again, before leaving the hotel.
I looked in horror at the others. "They're going to kill Bella! And what was all that about the two guys protecting her?"
Alice shrugged. "It sounds like the two guys Bella's with, disobeyed those people in order to protect Bella. That's good news, right? It means they won't hurt her."
"Yeah, but the people who that woman works for, are now after all three of them, and they'll kill them!"
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Those people were going to kill my Bella. "We have to find her!"
