Chapter 14

BPOV

We were just going to walk out of the JcPenney's door to go out to Alice's car when we heard gunshots. I immediately dunked.

"Everyone get down! NOW!" A gunman shouted and herded Alice, Rosalie, Lauren, and I to the middle of the store where everyone else was at. I looked around and counted twenty gunman. Tears gathered in my eyes and threatened to spill over. I looked over at Lauren who was balling and shaking so bad she couldn't even stand up. Then I looked at Rosalie and saw her hand in her pocket. She was trying to call 911 without getting caught.

"Everyone sit down! You get your hand out of your pocket" The same gunman said to Rosalie and everyone sat. There was about fifty of us including the employees. "Now, I want all of you guys to strip you clothes and change into these." He said throwing blue suits to us all that they were wearing. "Change right now and give us all electronic devices" he barked out harshly.

I changed quick so nobody would see anything but Lauren was shaking so bad she couldn't get her pants undone so I helped her. "I'm scared, Bella." she said, clinging to me.

"Shhh. You'll be fine." I said gathering her into my arms. Now was not the time to hold grudges against my enemy. She buried her face in my shoulder and cried. The tears spilt over my own face.

Alice and Rosalie joined us. "Are you guys okay?" Alice whispered.

"Shut up!" one of the gunman barked, shoving Alice with the butt of his gun. She whimpered.

Then we heard gunshots from another part of the mall and everyone screamed. "SHUT UP!" The leader said. I closed my eyes and Lauren squeezed onto me harder. Both of our tears just kept flowing, both of us scared out of our minds.

I just had to make Alice go to the smallest mall in New York. It was pretty small (a/n I am making this up as I go. I have never gone to New York so bear with me please.) there was only one big store, JcPenney's, and a couple of not so big stores and that was it.

"You." the lead gunman pointed to Lauren, "come with me."

"Please, no, no. no, please." she said, clinging to me even harder.

"Get up." he barked harshly and grabbed her. Another gunman grabbed me and they pulled us apart.

"No!" she screamed, trying to fight him. "No! Bella! Alice! Rosalie, help me!" she whimpered but stopped fighting as he towed her away to the break room for the employees. I heard her crying and low voices deliberating.

Alice and Rosalie looked at me, tears streaming down their own faces. "What do you think they are doing to her?" Rose whispered to me and I shrugged. "I wish we never came here today." Rose said and then she collapsed into sobs. A gunman shushed her but she couldn't stop.

"Shut the hell up." the gunman said then pointed the end of the barrel to her head. "Shut up, or I will make you shut up!" he threatened. Me and Alice hung onto each other and shook with fear. Rosalie immediately stifled her sobs. Me and Alice hugged her and we sat there for a while, the three of us hugging and crying and listening to everyone else crying.

A few hours passed and a couple of people had fell asleep or was knocked unconscious. There was actually one guy that had been shot in the leg. I didn't think he was going to survive.

Finally Lauren came out of the room with the gunman escorting her. But there was something wrong with this picture…

Lauren had a gun with her too. She looked at my shocked expression and she grinned evilly. Alice and Rosalie gasped in shock.

"Bellllllla! Come over here please!" she said in a mocking tone. I didn't move and she said something to the gunman behind her. He came over to me and grabbed me roughly waving over two other guys who grabbed me. I fought and fought but I was no match for the three of them. The threw me into the employee room with Lauren and they locked the door from the outside. "Hey, Bella." Lauren said.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked in a shaky voice.

Lauren laughed, "Don't you remember that incident in high school? Where you embarrassed me in front of the whole school?" she frowned at the memory.

"What? I didn't do anything to you." I said carefully.

"Oh, yes you did. You did lots of stuff to me. Remember prom? Where you went to with my boyfriend! Mine! He left me for you! And then everyone wanted you to announce who the prom king and queen was. Of course it was me and your boyfriend and so you got jealous. Remember you tripped," she said the tripped with air quotations, "over the microphone cord and you ripped my dress! I was practically butt naked in front of everyone!" She hissed at me, coming closer to me. "Then you tried to help me up but you accidentally tripped me and I fell off the stage and broke my leg. It was all your fault! All your fault!" she screamed at me. "I never got my revenge and I was going to let it go. But then I started dating Edward. God, he was everything I wanted, so I decided to get revenge on you for everything you did to me."

"How long have you been planning this?" I asked after a few minutes passed. This girl was nuts.

"Eh, years. I was about to let it go but I saw the way Edward looks at you. Every time he sees you his eyes lit up and I want to be that girl. I just need you out of the picture and I am going to torture you slowly. Bit by bit." she said, coming so close we were practically nose to nose.

"No he doesn't look at me like that. I love Jake."

"So? I can never have him fully. He can never be mine until your gone."

"He was always yours!" I protested.

"NO! Don't you understand? Edward Cullen loves you!"

"He does?"

"Yes!" she hissed, "God, your so blind, Bella. I swear." she said and rolled her eyes.

I slid to the floor slowly, shocked. I started shaking my head, "no." I kept repeating.

"Yes." she said and then she smiled evilly again. "Your going to pay for this." She grabbed my face and I looked into her eyes. All I saw was pure hatred. "I am going to torture you so bad that you will be screaming for death. That is my revenge." She said.

"No, please, Lauren, no. I'll move. I'll disappear with Jake. Just let me go! I'll never look at Edward again."

"That won't work! Edward will grow sad and mopey. It won't work and so you are going to die. Anyways Jacob Black was always on my side, he task was to distract you."

"But I'll be gone anyways." I said, shell-shocked by what she said about Jake. She had to be lying but I had this gut feeling she wasn't.

"Yes, well, you can't come back from death and you can if you run away. He can't leave me to go find you." she said and then knocked on the door twice. It opened and she waved goodbye before walking through the doorway.

"Hello." the lead gunman said, "I'm Leif." Then he came towards me.

APOV

I heard Bella screaming from the employee break room. Me and Rosalie were huddled together sobbing.

"I think they are going to kill her." Rosalie whispered to me. I just nodded. They were going to kill her and I could feel it.

Oh My God. You guys are going to kill me aren't you? But then you wouldn't know what happened next would you? Please Review and I will try my super hardest to update before the weekend but if I can't I will on Saturday for sure!

Well, I almost started crying when I wrote this. I apologize in advance if I can't update before Saturday because I have a civics project and two english projects to work on!
