A/N: Sorry its taken so long to update but I've had serious writers block. I'll try to update regularly from now on!

Physical and Mental fire!

C.P.O.V (Carlisle)

The house was on fire!

When Alice had told us about her vision I was furious with myself. I shouldn't have let Bella alone, Alice had warned us about the Volturi but we thought we'd have more time. Maybe if Rain didn't wear that ring all the time then things would have been difficult. I looked up quickly and noticed that Alice almost hit a tree as she ran; this was unlike her.

"What is it Alice?!" They asked simultaneously as she continued to run.

"The people in the vision have to be the volturi" she whispered

"Yeah so?!" Emmett boomed rudely earning him a loud smack from Rose.

"But the other voice was… was… well it was EDWARDS!" she shouted and we all gasped.

"Maybe he was secretly there to help?" Jasper said though we ignored him.

"He has joined the volturi" I murmured appalled. How could Edward join the Volturi; the very thing he'd wanted to protect Bella from? Esme had said he knew what he had done to Bella by leaving and that's why he'd gone to the volturi but what didn't make sense was why he helped them get Bella, My Bella. I growled and pushed myself willing to go faster. That's when I spotted the giant black smoke cloud and realised that it was over the house. We all stopped as the house came into view; it was on fire.

"BELLA?!" I shouted running towards the fire but Jasper and Emmett grabbed me. "LET ME GO!" I growled.

"Dad you can't go in there the fire will kill you" Emmett said solemnly and I felt Jasper try to send calming waves towards us.

"Your right" I sighed and they released me.

I stood for a moment before attempting to throw myself in the house; Esme stood in front of me, her hand against my chest.

"Carlisle, I love Bella too, she is my daughter, my friend and my sister but you don't know if she's in there and this could be part of the volturi's plan" She was sobbing tearlessly.

"We can't just do nothing" I cried.

"The others have gone to get hose's from the garage and also to get water from the river" she pulled me in for a quick hug. I sobbed into her shoulder.

"I love her Esme!"

"I know I do too. Obviously not in the same way though" we both laughed gently.

By now the others had coupled up a hose leading to the river and had begun to put the fire out.

"Bella? Rain?" I called as we entered the house. I was amazed it was still standing, it wasn't too badly damaged either. The fire had only been raging for minutes before we had arrived. When we had first built the house we had built it out of metal before covering it with brick and wood; this made it harder to damage. The living room was damaged the most and it appeared that was where it had started because there was a burn mark on the floor. The furniture was ashes now, the wood panelling and carpet was badly burnt, the front door was a pile of glass now the wood had disintegrated. The staircase had the bottom few steps missing but the top appeared to be fine apart from the black ash covering the floor; the fire had obviously not reached the above floors yet. My family spread out through the house assessing the overall damage; Esme headed to the kitchen (still sobbing) and the others headed upstairs.

"It's not too bad up here dad" Alice called from the first floor. "Your office isn't damaged, neither are our rooms it's just downstairs."

"The kitchen is a different story however" Esme said quietly and I headed towards her. The once white kitchen walls were now charcoaled, the glass windows were almost glowing red still from the heat, the dining table was no longer standing; it was a pile of ash on the floor, only one leg survived. There was another scorch mark on the floor in there so the fire had clearly been started by two different beings. I sighed.

I pulled Esme into another hug before Rosalie's voice caught our attention "Alice is having a vision!" We walked into what was left of the lounge to find my family stood around her; waiting anxiously.

When her eyes finally opened I spoke "What do we do Alice?"

"Nothing…"

"What?!" I shouted

"Yet, we do nothing for the next two weeks."

"What?! Why?!" she shook her head.

"All I know is that they want to talk to her, they won't turn her yet but if we try and save her now they have decided to kill her instantly." I sighed

"So basically until the two weeks are up if we so much as step foot in Volterra to save her they will kill her?!" Emmett growled and Alice nodded. "Well that's just fucking great!"

"Language Emmett" Esme said though her voice lacked in strength.

"So what do we do until then?" I asked

"We rebuild the house, then we go back to school. Carlisle you go back to work and Esme you go to Alaska to inform them of the situation. First however I see Carlisle going to his office and we have to go and shop for more furniture and then go see Charlie" I sighed. "He has a right to know Carlisle"

"Yes but what are you going to tell him?"

"That she's gone on holiday with Rain and that she is out of cell phone range but he will hear from her soon."

"Ok"

"Lets go" Esme said and then Alice surprised us all.

"I've seen that this will be the first shopping trip I wont like" I gasped and then smiled at her mock hurt expression.

"If Alice wont like this shopping trip what the hell are we going to make of it?"

10 Minutes later

The others had left and I headed to my office. Entering I found that everything was as I'd left it the day before, except one thing; a envelope on the desk addressed to me. Opening it I realised there were two pieces of paper. I opened the first one.

It read…

Dear Carlisle,

How are you my old friend? Im terribly sorry about whatever state you have found your house in and if you are reading this it means you've salvaged parts. The girl is with us and so is Demetri's daughter. The human will not be harmed provided you don't attempt anything for at least two weeks. I need to talk to Isabella about some things before I convert her to our ways. As for Rain, well that will depend on how she takes to caring for Isabella whilst she's in our care. If Rain even tries to help her escape though I will kill them both. I thought I should tell you though that just before we captured Isabella she screamed your name several times, eventually I had to smack her. It was unfortunate but she was hysterical. Tell me does it feel good to know that one of her last words spoken today was "Carlisle!" or that you weren't even here to protect her even though you know she was blind? Well I thank you for that.

See you in two weeks, am counting the days as im sure you will be.

Yours sincerely,

Aro

I folded up the letter again and sighed. He was right I shouldn't have left how could I have done that too her. It was because of my supposed son that she was in this mess; maybe we should have all left. The second letter was in a different handwriting; one I recognised.

Dear Carlisle,

I used to look up to you however now I feel nothing for you but betrayal and anger. I decided when I left and joined the volturi that I didn't love Bella anymore. It sounds harsh I know but it's the truth however you are aware of her age aren't you? Do you know what the town would say if they found out? Im sure it will come out soon enough. What I find disgusting is that you were like a father to her but now you're acting like a dirty old man! If I ever see you again I doubt it will be on good terms so this is all im going to say… thank you I guess for being my father but times have past and the only family I need now is the volturi and Chelsea. Bella means nothing to you anymore and neither do you. Tell Esme thankyou and tell the others that until they started supporting your 'crush' (because that's all it is, you don't love her) I loved them like family. I have no doubt that I will see you in two weeks time.

Goodbye.

I scrunched up the note, sat behind my desk and put my head in my hands.

A/N: So that's another chapter. I know Edward sounds really mean but there is a big twist coming up… so tell me what you think and review!!! Please
