Chapter 13: Daddy's On His Way (Mixed POV'S)

Alice's POV:

We headed to the cars leaving Jacob to deal with the police. Hopefully they would see something on the video that would be useful. If they took him away forever, it was no skin off my vampire back. I was trying to remain calm, but hating him deeply right now. My cell phone rang and I already knew it was Edward.

"Edward, listen to me,-" and that was all I was able to say before he began growling into the phone.

"I told you to protect my child. I should have known you were not capable of this. You let her go with Jacob while in another country! What were you thinking!" he shouted.

"Edward, she took off. We searched for her all night." Maybe that wasn't the best thing to say right now.

"What?" he shouted. I pulled the phone away from my ear

"Listen to me!" I barked. "We all love Nessie too. We're looking for her right now and we will find her, I promise." I paused hoping I could keep that promise. "I had a vision this morning." I said.

"How convenient, after she's taken." he snapped. I knew he didn't mean it. He was upset and I couldn't hold that against him, not now.

"I believe she's been kidnapped, Edward. I saw her chained to a floor in a small room. I'm so sorry, Edward." The phone went dead. Classic Edward Cullen. It think it was all he could take at the moment. We will all die, I thought. I picked the phone back up and called Carlisle and Esme who was staying with the Denali's. They would catch the next flight out. It was going to take all of us to get that girl back. At least we knew she was alive and most likely still here in the city.

Jasper and I had taken one car while Rose and Emmett took the other. We began to crisscross the city. Emmett said he'd stay east first while we took the west. I curled up into ball in passenger seat closing my eyes to focus. I needed another vision.

Edward would be here tomorrow morning with Bella. Oh, sweet Bella, what this would do to her. I lost her only daughter, I thought sadly. Maybe this is how Edward felt when he left Bella years ago in an attempt to save her. I had seen visions of him often, curled up somewhere dark. Vampires can't cry, but we can still feel the emotions and pain that goes along with those tears. Jasper was doing his best to keep everyone calm. I closed my eyes again to see her once more.

I saw her sitting quietly. The tears were flowing down her cheek as she rocked back and forth. Then I saw a man enter the room and speak English to her. He kicked her leg and she became quiet then. Good girl, I whispered. The walls were an eggshell white chipping from it's age. They were covered with cracks and dirt smears so I knew she was in an older building. I could see a nasty bed frame and mattress behind her. Apparently she was refusing to touch it because she stayed on the floor curled up in a fetal position. There was a faint light shining over her head so I knew there was a small window. Then the vision was gone.

"I can only see inside the room right now, but I'll keep trying. It's most likely a second story building" I said watching the people and streets pass by my passenger window. Jasper wrapped his hand around mine and gave me a soft smile.

"I can't believe this is happening." I said softly.

The stress was interfering with my visions. I needed to relax, if possible. I spotted a small shopping center up the road.

"Pull in." I said pointing to the small outlet. Jasper knew me all too well. He knew I needed to get my mind off of everything if I was going to continue to have visions and right now, that was imperative.

Edward's POV:

"Bella, we're heading for Africa. Something's happened." I pulled her closer to me. She knew right away it was Nessie.

"I feel something in the pit of my stomach, Edward." I kissed the top of her head.

"She's been kidnapped." I whispered into her hair. I swallowed the venom pooling in my mouth. I'm going to get revenge, I thought narrowing my eyes.

"What?" she exclaimed.

"I just booked us a flight out in a few hours. Can you pack? I need to tell Billy and Charlie."

"and Jacob." she said staring over my shoulder

"Apparently he's already there." I said.

Bella couldn't seem to break herself out of the trance of shock. I glanced over my shoulder in the direction of her gaze. I was curious what held her attention at such a time. Her eyes were locked on a photo of Renesmee on the mantle. It was a picture of me holding Renesmee shortly after her birth. Bella sat beside me as Ness held her finger tightly. We all smiled for our first family photo. I pulled Bella's face gently towards mine, forcing her eyes to meet mine.

"Apparently they got a room last night and he left her alone in the room long enough for someone to come in and take her." I felt her knees buckling and grabbed her waist.

"We have to be strong for Renesmee. We don't have time to fall apart. Do you hear me, Love?" I said firmly. As a human Bella had had her anxiety attacks, but this was her first vampire break down. She was allowed to have any sort of attack she wanted as long as it didn't slow us down from getting out little girl home.

Bella's POV:

Edward was holding himself together well. I just gasped for air and twisted my long, brown hair. I was unable to cry, but my body wanted to and began to quiver. I was thankful Edward held me as he made his calls because I felt like I would unravel right here. I wanted to curl up into a ball and pictured my sweet Renesmee tied up in a dark corner. Then I thought about when one of them would try to touch her. They would know she was different, but she could defend herself. I looked at Edward wanting more answers, but he smiled half-heartedly reassuring me that everything would be fine, but there was no way he could know that.

Earlier that morning I'd been working in the garden without a care in the world while my only beautiful daughter was being taken. I was infuriated at Jacob for being so reckless. Edward would never forgive him for this. Thankfully, he was always good at staying focused at times like these. When I was pregnant with Renesmee he had done so well. I knew he was in anguish by the sudden change in expression on his face. He tried to hide it, but it was impossible.

I packed our bags while Edward took care of everything else. Then we were off to find our daughter and kill Jacob Black.
