Chapter fourteen. Another Mysterious Girl
Edward's POV.
"Eight hundred and seventeen", I announced. I turned and looked at Jasper triumphantly. "Get your Jewlzo Projectile ready, we'll bust in on three. Jasper? Jasper?"
Jasper bit his bottom lip, his face grim. I noticed how desperate he looked as I wondered what was wrong. We were about to get Emmett out, shouldn't he be happy. He handled the Projectile weakly and he took in a deep breath.
"Forgive me Emmett", he whispered.
"What's wrong?"
"One..."
"Jasper", I snapped, glaring at him. He ignored me, facing the door.
"Two...
"Jasper, what's wrong? Are you ok?"
"Three!"
The door was pushed opened and Jasper barged past me to go into a dark room. The light was off and immediately Jasper got out his Lighter. I followed him in, closing the door behind me.
The room was large. A single bed was in the corner with two chairs next to it. Hospital equipments were all around. It looked like deserted room.
"Emmett's not here", whispered Jasper in a horrified voice. I banged on the light switched on the wall. The room lit up.
"What do you mean?" I demanded, frustrated. I was tired of his mysterious acting. He looked like someone had slapped him around the face. I turned on Jasper. "What the hell? Where's Emmett, Jasper?"
"He's not here", Jasper whispered, backing away from me. He grabbed a Tracker from his pocket. Suddenly the little black machine flashed red; Jasper dropped it startled by the bleeping noise that came out of it. I picked it up and threw it back at it. Jasper caught it perfectly, his eyes widening as he looked at the screen.
"What's the –"
I didn't get to finish my sentence. Jasper launched himself at me, throwing us both over the bed and to the other side. We collapsed to the floor. I gripped my weapon firmly.
"Incoming", hissed Jasper.
There was a flash of light in the already lighted room and suddenly out of no where, a massive shake and a swooping noise echoed through the room.
A girl and another large figure stumbled through the light as it dimmed.
"Weapons down, hands up and turn around", Jasper barked, standing up already. I recovered, my eyes scanning the room. The girl didn't do as Jasper said. She gripped Emmett under the armpits and threw him onto the bed. Emmett was unconscious.
"Get your fucking hands up, NOW", roared Jasper, pointing his projectile right at her head. The girl puffed, and finally looked up at us. It was like she had just noticed that we were there.
"Dad –"
I launched myself at her, twisting her arm around her back immediately. She collapsed to the ground from my force and weight. Her face was against the floor as I disarmed her, throwing two Jewlzo SharpKnives, one Jewlzo Projectile, three trackers and another little device I didn't recognise to the side.
"I'm here to help you", the girl gasped out, struggling against my grip. This felt a bit like dé ja vue. The exact thing had happened before. With Izzy.
"Shut up and tell me how you got Emmett", I hissed at her, keeping her head down.
"Jeez Da – Edward! How can you tell me to shut up and then tell you?" the girl snapped back.
"Emmett's fine, just neutralized", Jasper told me, scanning Emmett's body with something, "he's not harmed, breathing's fine. Heartbeat's normal. Just sleeping. He's good. Who's the chick?"
"Chick! I'm no chick", pissed off girl hissed.
"Alright, enough out of you", I snapped at her. I turned to look up at Emmett. "What do we do now?"
"Go back to the safe house", Jasper commanded, "we've got another one of the Nomad's helpers here, let's just neutralize her. The girls should be at the safe house by now."
"No, they're not", the girl squeaked. I banged her head down onto the hospital floor. She groaned, flicking her legs up at me.
"Neutralizer", I asked her Jasper. He was giving little slaps to Emmett's face and shaking his shoulders. I grabbed the machine from his back pocket, my intentions to silence the screaming girl. Emmett groaned and shifted.
"No! Listen to me", the girl cried out quickly, "Mom...Bella's been captured! I'm on your side! I helped Uncle Emmett! Dad don't!"
"Oh please", I sighed, positioning the neutralizer at her neck. Not another izzy, please not that again. I was tired of lies.
My fingers pushed against the trigger.
"No!" Emmett's voice boomed through my ears. Suddenly something grabbed my arms, pulling me off of the struggling girl whom I was sustaining. Emmett pushed me to the side. He stood up, wobbling slightly and helped the girl to her feet.
I crouched, my eyes flickering between Jasper, Emmett and the strange girl. They were all acting weird. What on earth was going on?
"She's safe", Emmett told me, slightly out of breath, "Guys, this is Renesmee. She's on our side. She's safe."
Bella's POV.
I hated being kidnapped.
In the year 2817 alone, I had been kidnapped three times. The first time, Edward saved me. The second time I got away by myself. And the third time, Rosalie got to me before any serious damage was done.
All three were due to the wonder Nomads of course. They wanted me dead. Or alive and suffering. Either way, I was going to kill them for injecting neutralizers into my veins again. I hated that stuff. It made your stomach hurt and the side effects weren't good.
I didn't open my eyes as I regained consciousness. I tried to keep my breathing even so that if I were being watched, I wouldn't be caught regaining consciousness. I noticed that there was a sharp pain on the side of my hip. Just below my ribs on my left. That was going to be a weak point. I knew that whoever had kidnapped me wasn't planning on killing me. Or they would've done that already.
It was either Kenzo or Izzy, or maybe both. Victoria and James had both been taken out by me and Edward. They were out of the question. I swore to god, I was going to murder Izzy. She had caused too much trouble for me already. This was crossing the line.
I realised that she was here, that either mean that Emmett was dead or alive. I was hopping alive. Jasper was on our side, surely he had gotten to him soon enough.
I concentrated on my body, hoping to feel if anything else was wrong. No, I felt fine. I was good. I was fighting fit apart from that little pain on my side, but I ignored that. I listened hard.
I could hear footsteps to my right. And murmurings. Bingo.
"...use the Slowers on her now. If she wakes up she could get away..." A recognisable female voice was shrieking.
"I can handle her", the male voice hissed. Kenzo and izzy. They were here. I almost rolled my eyes.
I felt what I was lying on. They were treating me well. I was on a bed, I could feel the comforter underneath me. From the light that hit my lids I knew that it was nearly an end to the day. Between four or five in the afternoon.
I briefly wondered whether Alice and Rosalie were ok. If I had gotten captured then they were probably taken too. Or they got away. Still, I just hoped they weren't hurting right now.
I opened my eyes.
Two head immediately snapped towards me. Izzy was sitting on a chair, her legs crossed with a Jewlzo Projectile in her hand. That was my weapon. I fought back a hiss. Next to her was Kenzo. He grinned at me, wriggling his fingers. I sat up.
We were all in a room, I assessed. I was on the bed. My eyes flickered towards the window and the door. It was to far away from me and too close to them. Alice and Rosalie were no where in sight. They must've gotten away.
"How are you doing?" Izzy asked me, smiling genuinely. I glared at her and shook my head. They weren't armed. Neither of them looked alert or crouched for defence. I threw my legs to the side and stood up. They didn't move.
"Victoria and James have been permanently neutralized", I told her and smirked, "I did it myself, with Edward. Rosalie, Alice and Jasper are now safe. Emmett's been rescued."
"Oh, we know", Kenzo said nodding, "we got attacked and Emmett got away with the girl."
I wondered who the girl was, but then dropped it. I walked, testing my steps as I did. My legs were fine. I walked towards the window and turned to face my two kidnappers.
"So you loose, Izzy", I told her, "We've won. Give up. My friends are now safe. Edward is still mine. The Nomads have lost and you've lost."
They both frown at the same time. Izzy sighed but Kenzo smirked again. I looked out of the window. We were a floor up.
"But we've still got you", Kenzo pointed out smugly.
"Yeah..." I droned on, "but not for long."
I grabbed the chair next to the bed and smashed it against the glass. Some of the pieces shattered around me. As soon as I gripped the window sill, ready to launch myself out, a hand gripped onto my hair.
"Behave bitch", Izzy's bitter voice hissed into my ear. I kicked back, struggling to jump out of the window. Something clashed on top of my head. The pain intensified and I groaned. My hands were secured.
I was outnumbered and untrained for this level of fighting.
"Fuck off", I snapped, whacking her just under the neck. She let go of my arms, staggering back.
I whirled around to see Izzy and Kenzo both smiling at me. They'd get me before I could jump out. If I fought them, there was every possibility that I'd end up dead.
I stared at them both in the eye. "The Nomads don't need me, they're not exactly available right now. What do you want from me?"
"I want Edward", Izzy hissed.
"And I want what the Nomads couldn't get", Kenzo purred. He stared straight at me and shrugged, "You."
