I know, i was awful for giving you a cliffy, but i just had too. (:

here's your chapter! (:

Oh, and I'm starting a new story. Go and read it. It'll be up. (:

"Would you like to see your brother and best friend?"

"I would." I wanted to see them more than this lady could ever know.

"I'm going to make you an offer. You can trade your best friend and your sister spots. They will go free and you will stay here until they complete the tasks I assign." Wow. Send them free and I have to stay here, that seems like the best option, but the look on Jasper's face, didn't look as promising, but this was up to me.

"I...."

"Can I talk to them first? All of them? Including Jasper and Rose?"

"Yes, Bella. Of course." Alice and Emmett came into my view. I ran over to them with Jasper and Rose right behind me.

"Emmy, Ali, are you alright?"

"Yeah, baby sister. We're fine, but your not trading us spots."

"Yes, Emmy, I am and your going to have to trust me on this, okay. Just please trust me."

"Bella, I don't like this." Alice said. This was my decision and they had to trust me.

"Ali, I can do this. Just do exactly as she says. Whatever the notes say you have to do it okay. Exactly as they say. You four have to promise me that." They all nodded their heads. "Thank you."

"Jasper, You can catch them up to speed, and tell them why they aren't allowed to talk to Edward. Alright?" He gave me a nod.

"Do exactly as she says. Do you understand me?" They all nodded.

"Alright, I'm ready to trade places with Emmett and Alice."

"Wonderful Bella! The others may go." They all filled out of the room giving me glances as the went. Alice was the last to leave signing I love you sister, before she left. I love you too, Ali, and I would tell you that. The second I was free from here. I would tell them all how much the meant to me. That's why I could leave Edward, because no matter how much I was in love with him, my family had to come first.

"Bella, I'm so happy you decided to stay. I thought your brother wouldn't listen to you, he must love you very much. He kept threatening me, telling me if I ever laid a hand on you, he'd kill me. He's not a very nice one, is he?"

"Emmett, is my big brother what do you expect when he thinks I might be in trouble?"

"Very true young Bella. Very true. Bella, I'm guessing that your probably wondering who I am."

"Yes, I am. What do you have against me, Edward, and my family?"

"Ah, my dear Bella. I have nothing against any of you. It's a the matter of you had something I wanted and I was going to go to any lengths to get it. My name is Tanya and you my dear we're dating someone I hold very dear to my heart. You see Edward and I are soul mates. We were meant to be together, but you see when Edward went off to college, we lost touch and we drifted apart. It was quite heart breaking, but when I saw him at the park that day with you, well you see I simply had to get him back, and the way you acted around the others it seemed they were the way to make what I wanted happen. I am truly sorry for all the pain you had to go through, to save your family."

"You mean, my family was locked up and gagged because you wanted Edward?"

"Yes, my dear. That is the reason." She had to be kidding! Edward was the reason for all of this. I had given him up just like she had wanted me too. I had given him back to his soul mate, but I thought we had something real, something that could last, on to marriage, and kids. I was so stupid, I had believed I lie. I had been right all along, Edward didn't belong with someone like me, he belonged with someone like Tanya, his soul mate. Tanya stepped out of the shadows and that's when I realized I was really truly right. Tanya was beautiful, she had curly red blond hair, that came down past her shoulders, she had baby blue eyes and was beautiful. She was the person that women were jealous of and that mean drooled over. This is who Edward Belonged with. Not me.

"It's alright, Tanya. Edward belongs with you. Y our beautiful, your perfect for him. I don't know what I was thinking. I kept telling myself that I couldn't be with someone like him, but I forced myself to believe the lie. I'm sorry I took your soul mate away."

"Oh, Bella. It's perfectly alright. You didn't know, my dear. Now, come with me, and I'll show you to your room." She put an arm over my shoulders and led me up to a room. It kinda reminded me of an old hotel room, but it was better than nothing. I had to stay here until she was done playing with my family. I closed the door behind me, laid on the bed and just cried.

I didn't like this. I didn't like this one bit. We had to just leave my baby sister behind, with that lady. We had no idea what she would do with her. I didn't like this. It took everything I had in me to just sit in Alice's apartment and wait. We had been at the house for about an hour, we were just sitting there waiting. I was thinking about the last things that Bella had said to me. I had already told all the others about Edward, they all wanted to tell him the truth, but we had promised Bella, and no one was willing to break it. I was thinking about when she woke up to find Alice gone, and how she had went to the.. MAILBOX! I had to go check the mailbox. Duh, Jasper! Your the only one who knows this, so your the only one who can help Bella right now. I hopped up off my bar stool and ran down to the mailbox. And sure enough, laying right inside the mailbox was a note and a picture.

Bella's fine. She's sleeping right now, she wore herself out crying.

Jasper, I want you to call Edward, and convince him to go out with me,

you two seem to be close, so I know you can do it.

The others, you are to just stay at the house and relax, I'm not going

to hurt Bella, she has done nothing wrong, she has done everything I asked.


She will be let go as soon as Edward asks me to be his girlfriend.

Have Edward meet me at the Al Le Bella, at seven tomorrow.

Until then.

Tanya.

The picture was of Bella, curled up in the middle of a bed sleeping. Her cheeks were stained with tears. Oh my poor poor Bella. I had to go call Edward. I had to save Bella.

I was laying on my bed, thinking about how hard it would be just to end my life. Take some pills and drink some alcohol that would be easy, bullet through the head. Anything really, life without Bella, was no life at all really. It was pointless, a starless night. My phone started ringing, it was Jasper.

"Hello?" My voice was empty, lifeless. Just like I felt.

"Edward, Can you come over to Alice's place?" Jasper sounded frantic, was something wrong with Bella. I jumped off my bed grabbed my keys and ran towards my car.

"Yeah, Jasper. I'm on my way." I made it to Alice's in under 15 minutes. I ran up the stairs and didn't even bother to knock I just flung open the door.

"Okay, What the hell is going on here?" They were all in the living room, huddled together. They all looked scared and worried. They were all there, everyone except, Bella.

"Edward, I need to ask you to do something, for me. For Emmett. For Alice. For Rose. For Bella." Anything, I thought Anything, even if it meant my own life.

"What's going on Jasper?"

"I need you to go on a date, with some Tanya chick." He said. He sounded clueless. Tanya, my ex girlfriend from high school. She was so clingy and stalkerish. I dumped her in a week, she was all about me being her soul mate, but she wasn't. My soul mate had left me, and I couldn't think of how to get her back.

"Yeah. Sure. For Bella. When, where and why?"

"The Al Le Bella. Tomorrow at seven. And the why I can't tell you." Jasper seemed regretful. Something was wrong. Very wrong and all of them were worried sick.

"Oh, and Edward. I kinda need you to be your girlfriend." Oh, of course, because life just couldn't get any better.

"Oh, sure Jasper." I sat down on a chair and just stared into space. This had to do with Bella. With protecting her. It was important. I would do this, for Bella. No Matter how much it hurt me.

Was it worth the wait? Or was it a waste of time?

REVIEW and let me know! (:
