Disclaimer: i don't own Twilight

Sorry i didn't update, i couldn't think of anything to write but now i know how i'm going to lead it. sorry for the wait.

A few hours passed before I saw anyone but Jasper and Alice. My Daughter and Bella being asleep and Carlisle searching for things that I didn't want to know until he sorted everything out in his head, Esme was also cooking and calling places for more blood. I was starting to feel my bursting point after my 83 glass of blood in one day. Normally I would eat a couple of animals a week or two but now I felt as if I was going to get a blood belly. But one thing that I knew that I couldn't do was drink the glasses in Alice and Jasper's hands as they both approached me at the same time, two glasses in each hand. This was going to hurt, I knew it.

"No, Alice, Jasper No more. Please on anything in this world that's holy you give me one more cup of blood and I'm going to explode."

"Edward that's the point now drink up... Bella told us to feed you like this anyway, she said she wanted to make sure you fully recovered before she let you go out and look for Ben again."

"What then how am I supposed to find him?"

"She wants us to go look, he wouldn't respond to you as well don't you think Edward?" Jasper asked as he sat down in the chair next to the coffee table across from me. I sat quietly looking down at my clenched hands in my lap, he was right. Ben would respond to anyone else but me trying to convince him to get away from that psycho. It hurt so much to think he would rather be with a man who wants to kill him just to avoid me. A thought in the back of my head kept reminding me that he didn't know, but it still hurt..Like a knife being thrusted further and further into my heart.

"Edward, he may hate you now but give him time he will come around." Alice said as she sat down next to me placing the blood on the table in front of us.

"Did you have a vision?" I asked a seed of hope planted on my heart.

"No, I haven't had a vision for a long time Edward. It's getting a bit weird but I know this will happen."

"If he doesn't get himself killed." I said in a mono tone as I looked up to hear rustling coming from my bedroom. When suddenly a high pitched scream emitted from my bedroom... 'Addie' I thought as I jumped to my feet, speeding to my bedroom nearly breaking the door down as I opened it. My eyes were wide, my skin color was probably paler than normal because Addie looked terrified when she saw me.

"Wh..What's wrong? Why did you scream?" I asked as I got a grip on my speeding heart, leaning all my body weight on the door knob as I used my right hand to hold my heart, out of reflex or habit I don't know which and at that moment I didn't care. My gaze drifted around the room, no one was in it, nothing was out of place even Bella was still sleeping next to her. Had I even heard her scream? Or did I imagine it with my worry for Ben? My gaze drifted back to Addie she looked positively terrified, her eyes wide filled with fear, her body stiff with fear, her skin had a bit of glisten meaning she was sweating out her adrenaline.

Addie was gasping for air as she pushed her hair around her head a bit I thought for relaxing her body. Addie turned to me as if she was about to say something but her mouth just stayed out as she kept gasping. She must of really been scared if she couldn't even speak yet, or calm her heart down. I could hear her heart going a mile a minute hell I couldn't even count it, I was afraid that it would suddenly stop.

"It's alright." I said as I turned my head to behind me a bit to see Jasper and Alice behind me staring at her worriedly. "Uh could you two give us a moment please?" I asked as I didn't even wait for an answer as I closed the door on them. I reached the bed in no time, Addie still gasping for the air her body desired but seemed she couldn't get enough.

"It's alright Addie, it was just a dream. Don't worry, everyone is safe." I said feeling as if I was lying to her, technically everyone was safe. Just Ben wouldn't be safe for much longer.

"No it won't be alright! You don't get it! Ben he's..." Addie said as tears came to her eyes quickly.

"Your brother is fine."

"Don't even try to lie to me! I'm not some child that you have to hide this stuff from. You and Mom think you could keep it a secret that Ben and Me are going to be used for some experiment or what ever this insane man is going to do! And you say it will be alright! Everyone's safe! Ben's Fine! Do you even care?" Addie asked as the tears came down from her eyes pouring quickly down her cheeks.

"I do care Addie, and your brother is fine for the moment he won't be though if the psycho gets you too. I was out looking for him all day only to be brought back here against my will. I know I may not of been there but I do love you and your brother. I won't let anything happen to him, I promise you. You can ask your mother how many promises I broke to her, I haven't broken one yet."

"You swear you will bring him back safely?" Addie asked as she hiccuped a bit, a trait Bella possessed. "He is my best friend... You swear you'll bring him back?...Brothers and sisters may fight, as you saw out in the hall but Ben he's so much closer than just my brother, he's my protector, my best friend, I love him more than anyone else in this world..He does everything for me, anything I ask, I'm a very selfish person I know that but Ben puts up with me and takes care of me."

"Yes I swear to you...Your very close with your brother aren't you?"

"Yeah, mom works two jobs and it takes up the whole day and half the night so Ben always makes sure I get fed, I get my homework done and everything. Even though he barely eats, and doesn't do his homework. He also protects me against everyone who is out to hurt me because of the way I look."

"I thought you were popular in school?"

"At times, depends on what click is on my case. Popular like me, the wanna-bies don't, the Jocks like me yet think I'm weird. I guess it depends on the weather or something but Ben, he always sticks up for me. He'll hit whoever bothers me even though I tell him not to but me and Ben are like two warriors against the world as he likes to call it...He's my best friend..." Addie said with such love in her voice, her body literally relaxed at the thought of her loving brother. It was obvious that even though they were twins and close by birth it seems they were even closer in real life. I couldn't be happier for me at this moment. My children didn't hate each other, I was so happy at that moment.

"Tell me though, You said Bella works all day and half the night? Doing what?"

"She works here all day, then she works at this pizza place by our apartment."

"Two jobs? Does she have an trouble paying for things?"

"Well during the holiday season she takes up extra shifts and sometimes an extra hour two at this cleaners by our apartment. We know the owners so they let mom work one or two hours."

"But nothing else?"

"Not that I know of, mom normally keeps that stuff to herself but Ben always goes through our bills and stuff before mom mails them out.. That was the real reason he said he started working so many different jobs, he told mom that he wanted some extra cash to go to the movies with but in truth I never saw the money he made. Whenever pay day came around he would put his money somewhere in moms desk and the next thing I knew we were having steak for dinner. So I guess Ben does help mom pay for stuff but if she knew where the money came from she wouldn't take it."

"Then how does she think she got the money?"

"I saw our neighbor right a quick letter then hand it to Ben while he stuffed money in it before putting it in her desk."

"Wait the neighbor who has her work at the cleaners writes the note?"

"Yeah, Ben won't admit he does this. He knows I'm easy to crack if mom would come looking for answers or something."

"Smart man to go through all that to make sure Your mother kept the money.." I said a bit shocked that he would do such a thing to make sure Bella kept the money. I knew Bella hated having people pay for things, she would always get angry whenever Alice would buy her expensive clothes. Hell she even tried to pay Alice back with some of the money she got from her job at the local supply store, but Alice didn't take the money. She made Bella hold onto it, or she said she would go out and buy her something dangerous to wear as Bella always put it.

"Yeah." Addie said as she looked at her fingers that held the covers lightly now instead of for dear life.

"Hungry?"

"A little..."

"Okay come out to the kitchen we'll see if we have any food for you." I said as I stood up from the side of the bed waiting for her to join me.

"Okay. But what about mom?"

"Let your mother sleep, she needs the rest."

"Right." Addie said as she stood and walked behind me as I led the way out of my room to the kitchen only to push her out before she even got close. The kitchen was covered in blood, not human but still it was absolutely everywhere. The plastic was everywhere that held the meat, the meat that was all squeezed out was lying in the garbage and many kitchen products were stained with dried blood. Esme and Alice were in the middle of it all too, just squeezing blood and heating it up on the stove. I immediately stopped breathing knowing my hunger would come if I didn't, at this moment I couldn't afford that.

"Uh on thought, why don't we bring in some take out, what do you like to eat?" I asked hiding the view of the kitchen the best I could from Addie.

"Uh Chinese?" Addie said looking at me curiously wondering why I had changed my mind so quickly.

"Okay, what Chinese?"

"Chicken and Broccoli with white rice?"

"A drink?" I asked remembering her every word.

"Coke?" Addie asked as if it was the easiest thing in the world.

"Okay I'll run out and get it. Don't leave this apartment okay? Don't go outside that door okay?" I asked pointing towards the door that led outside of the apartment and into the hall. "Don't go near the windows, stay near corners, stay hidde-..." I was cut off by Bella's voice.

"Edward don't scare to poor child." Bella said as she stood leaning against the door to my room with a big smile on her face.

"I don't want anything happening to her, I'm going out to get her some Chinese do you want anything while I'm out?"

"No Edward I'm not hungry."

"You haven't eaten all day." I said as I walked over to her, wrapping my arms around her slim waist its hard to believe her small body held children. She had gotten smaller since the last time I saw her, her waist wasn't as long and firm as it used to be. She had lost a bit of weight that I didn't realize from looking at her.

"I'll be fine Edward, I'm not hungry...I can't eat with knowing Ben is..." Bella didn't finish her sentence she just placed her forehead on my chest and held onto me with what I could was all her strength.

"Shhh... It will be alright, I promise I will get him back. I'll find him I swear Bella."

"I know you will, I have no doubts about that but Ben is my little boy..."

"I know Bella, I'll find him, I won't let anything to happen to him or Addie..."Jasper!" I voiced up a bit to get his attention and to come into the room.

"What?" Jasper asked as he walked in and leaned against the kitchen wall.

"Go out for me, get some Chinese food for Bella and Addie. Addie why don't you write down your order and get the same thing for Bella." I asked as I held Bella tighter.

"Edward I'm not..."

"I know my love but you will eventually get hungry, at least now we'll have food."

"Sure, Carlisle and I passed a Chinese place that actually looked like they had clean enough food to eat. Just write it down Addie that way you get exactly what you want." Jasper said as he walked back into the kitchen. I saw Addie immediately run to her back pack that was lying near the door and pull out a notebook and scribble a few words on it then ripping it out the book and waiting for Jasper to come out. Jasper came out the kitchen with a piece of paper in his hand the size of my forearm.

"What's that?" I asked curiously

"Alice and Esme told me to buy groceries this is their list."

"We couldn't need that much food?" Bella asked with a shocked expression, she could see at least the whole page was filled along with the back as Jasper folded it and took Addie's list from her and walked out the door.

"Addie why don't you go watch some TV while we wait for Jasper to get back with the food." Bella said as she let of me and led Addie towards the room left of the kitchen, that oddly enough just had a Tv and Video games inside. I followed behind them only to see Addie's face light up at the sight of the game selection. I admit there were quite a few more than a normal teen would have but the smile on her face and the excitement In her eyes made my chest swell.

"WOW" Addie said brightly as she quickly ran to the gaming systems there were about five of them, I didn't know their names. I had no interest in video games, hitting a virtual ball did nothing for me in the virtual baseball. I watched amazed as Addie picked up a game and pressed various buttons before she even had the game on.

"She'll be entertained for a good few hours." Bella said as she smiled down at Addie as she closed the door softly.

"She likes Video Games?"

"She loves them, for what reason I can't imagine but she does." Bella said as she sat on the couch In the living room. "So Edward where are we with finding Ben?"

"The same place where we were from when you fell asleep. Carlisle hasn't left the study yet with his answers and Alice hasn't seen anything since she saw Ben on that desert or beach."

"Can't you read his mind Edward?"

"No, not right now, he's thinking of 10 things at once it gave me a killer headache last time I tried. It's best to wait right now."

"But we can't wait Edward! What if something happens while we are waiting?"

"He needs Both Addie and Ben to be able to do anything Bella. He can't kill one without the other the blood will dry and become useless. Ben's safe for now." I said as I held her close to my body wanting to comfort her as much as I could.

"Do you think we could ask him of what he's found?" Bella asked as tears came to her eyes.

"I know he found some lead Bella but we can go in if you want."

"He found a Lead!" Bella asked happily as she jumped from my arms running towards Carlisle's study.
