I stared in shock at the scene before me. How had this happened? I always put the security system up when I left or when I came home. "How the fuck did you get into my house?" I yelled. "Bella, Bella, Bella. That's just gonna have to be my little secret." He said with a smirk. I felt a shiver run through my entire body.

"Mike, how the fuck are you out of prison? I thought the judge denied you bail?" "Well, you see that's the thing…" he began in a menacing voice. "…When you've got a good lawyer and you let the other inmates bang you up a little, the judge seems to have a change or heart."

He slowly began walking toward me, like a predator stalking its prey. I couldn't move, it was as if my feet were glued to the floor. Mike reached a hand out to tuck a strand of hair behind my ear. "You know I've waited for this work a long time and I'm really going to enjoy it." He finished with an evil smile.

He grabbed the back of my head ,roughly, and brought his mouth down onto mine. I still felt paralyzed. My muscles were frozen as Mike deepened the kiss. He pulled my body closer to his and closed his eyes, reveling in the feeling of my body forced against his.

In a quick decision, I began wrapping my arms around the back of his neck. I felt him groan and he ground his hips into me slightly. I tried to hide both the disgust and fear that ran through my body. I ran my hands up into his hair and tugged as hard as I could causing him to shout and jump back. The second our bodies were separated, I kneed him swiftly in the balls and ran toward the stairs.

I never ran so fast in my life. I made it to the second floor landing when I heard his heavy foot steps on the marble floor below. I quickly threw open the nearest bedroom door, carefully as to try and hide my position, and locked the door. I heard Mike's thumping feet nearing my hiding place. I backed away from the door and headed toward the closet. I shut the door behind me and locked it.

"Oh, Bella. Where are you?" He called in a taunting voice. I held my breath, unsure if he knew where I was or not. I turned the light on over my head and looked for the switch on the wall that hid the secret passage my grandmother had told me about when I was little.

I found the switch above the shelf and quickly flipped it, making sure to hid it after. The wall opened behind me and I made my way through the door. Once on the other side, I flipped the third switch, causing the door to close and the lock to activate.

I flipped the first switch, which produced just enough light for me to make my way quietly down the hall. I was about halfway down the tunnel when I heard the bedroom door break open. I frantically searched my pockets for my cell phone, once I located it I pressed the speed dial for Edward's cell.

After the third ring he answered it. "Edward, I need you to listen to me carefully…" I began, unsure of how to explain the whole situation to him. "One of my clients some how managed to convince the judge to give him bail and he broke into my house. I think he's trying to rape me or kill me. Maybe both, Edward!" I cried quietly.

"Bella, just try and find a safe place to hide. Help will be on the way soon I promise." he said in a sweet voice. I was too busy listening to Edward to hear how close the footsteps were behind me. I felt a hand grab my shoulder and I screamed a blood curdling scream and turned around. I swear the noise I released was enough to wake the dead. The phone fell from my hand but I could still hear Edward's velvety voice. "Now Bella, why did you have to go and run you silly little girl?" Mike said with a smirk.

Now I was truly terrified. Not only was Edward still on the phone yelling for me to answer and I couldn't, but he could also hear what was happening. Mike pulled a white cloth from his pocket and brought it to my face. He pressed it against my mouth and nose. I could feel myself beginning to lose consciousness. The last thing I heard was Mike's demonic laugh and his harsh words. "Just wait till you wake up my little Bella. We're going to have lots of fun."

I was making my way to check on Adriana when I saw Jessica standing at the nurses station, as she always seemed to be whenever I walked by. Today was worse though. Jessica's gossip of a best friend, Lauren, was here today too. Could things have gotten worse today?

As I walked by I could hear bits and pieces of their conversation. "So Jess, how's everything going with that case against Mike?" I heard Lauren ask. "Oh you know the same as it was. Bella's been great about taking my case. I guess it helps to have a friend who's an attorney right?" I froze in my spot. Had I heard them correctly?

Was Bella defending Jessica against Mike? It was possible. I don't think there's that many women named Bella who are attorney's in the city of Boston. The next time I saw her I was determined to ask her if she was representing Jessica. I continued on my way to go check on Adriana. Her mother, Tanya, had finally woken up from her coma.

When the other doctors informed her of what happen she freaked out again but this time she didn't have to be sedated. I was glad to see that she was slowly getting better as well as her daughter. Adriana was now 30 weeks old and her chances of survival were higher. She still needed round the clock care but she was improving greatly.

This afternoon she was doing substantially better. She was lifting her head up slightly but hey that's an improvement! I was sad that in the past few weeks that I hadn't gotten to see Bella as much. She was so busy with her club and job. I was beginning to really miss her company. I was hoping that soon she and I could go out on another date, a real date though.

I left Adriana's incubator and headed toward the staff lounge to get myself a cup of coffee. The moment I sat down my phone began vibrating. I took it out of my pocket and looked at the name. I felt my heart soar…Bella. I answered it quickly, worrying that it might go to voicemail.

"Edward you gotta help me! Please!" she pleaded franticly. "Bella?! What's wrong? What happened?!" I replied, trying to hide the fear in my voice. "It's Mike. I'm prosecuting him in court and somehow he got out on bail. He wasn't supposed to get bail! He broke into my house!

"I don't know what to do! I'm hiding in the secret passage now but I'm afraid he'll find me! You've got to hurry!" The next sound I heard almost destroyed me. She screamed an earth-shattering scream. I could practically feel it shattering my bones. "Bella, what happened!? Is he there!? Answer me! Bella!" I continued to scream into the phone, knowing that she probably couldn't hear me. I heard harsh laugh from the other end. It was quiet through the phone, but I knew it was quite terrifying to Bella.

I had to go; I had to leave work now! I went to the nurses' station and informed Jessica that I was not feeling well and was leaving for the day. I made my way to the parking garage and ran to my car. I threw the door open and jumped in. I had to get there in time there was no question about it. I couldn't let that slime of the earth hurt my Bella.

I knew I couldn't do this alone. I called up Emmett while rocketing out of the garage. "Em, I need your help. Bella's in trouble! One of the guys she's prosecuting in court for rape broke into her house. I don't know if he still has her there but that where I'm going and I'm gonna need you tough cop ass NOW!"

"Edward just give me the address and I'll head out right now, man. That little piece of shit won't get a chance to hurt her I promise!" I rattled off Bella's address and sped to Bella's house. I was probably breaking so many laws right now but I didn't care. There was only one thing that mattered…

I slowly felt myself waking back up. My head hurt like hell and it was hard to breathe. I went to move my arm to rub my eyes but found I was unable to. I tried with my other arm, and again I was denied. Why couldn't I move my arms? I began to have a mini panic attack. I tried moving my legs only to find that my ankles were confined in what felt like a metal. I assumed it was metal handcuffs that bound my limbs, but I couldn't be sure.

I heard a low laugh in the corner of the room. I felt my heart rate begin to accelerate. Again I tried to struggle free, knowing it was completely useless. "Well, what have we here? It seems as though someone forgot to get dressed today." Mike said with a smirk.

I looked down at my body and saw that I was only left in my pink bra and panty set. This was not good. My mind was reeling with was this could go. The idea that was strongest was that Mike was going to do the same thing to me as he did to Jessica. I began hyperventilating in fear. No! This was the worst thing that could ever happen to me.

And worse there was no way for me to escape. Mike had restrained me to a bed. Looking closer at my surroundings I realized that it was one of the spare rooms he confined me in. Then maybe Edward would get to me in time. There was hope for that at least. "I'm gonna have a lot of fun with you my sweet Bella." Mike said as he began stripping his clothes from his body and making his way toward me.

Mike was about two feet from the bed and I once again started to thrash on the bed. Mike stood before me in only his boxer briefs/ I could see how aroused he was and that completely scared the living shit out of me. He got on top of me on the bed. He brought his mouth onto mine. I felt like I was going to hurl. His rancid breathe invading my mouth, his grabby hands making their way to the back of my bra to unclasp it.

He removed his mouth from mine and I forced myself to slip into the unconscious world. Anywhere was better than this. Maybe if I was unconscious, then he wouldn't go through with the act. All I could do was hope. The last thing I saw was Edward's beautiful face in my mind. With him I knew I would always be safe. I just hoped he got here in time…

Anyone think Edward will make it in time? Remember reviewers get a teaser = ) but make sure u allow pms cuz a few of u didn't allow them so I couldn't send the teaser =) also on the second story I have posted updates are probably going to be only once a month sorry
