Yes, I know its pretty late, but I couldn't let you guys go without a chapter for two days (maybe). Heres chapter 21! Thanks to all those who reviewed, you rock!

Recap

"I want Matt! I want him, but he only has eyes for you! and what do you do? COMPLAIN! What is wrong with you?!" she yelled. She didn't give me time to respond, because next thing I knew, she was on top of me, slapping, pulling and punching. I fought back. We went on like that for a while, until we heard the door open.

Emmett's POV

"Okay, okay, Edward, I give up!" I said. I hated saying those awful words, but I had no choice. We had been having a contest to see who could "eat" the most polar bears, and so far Edward won. I tried, but I was too full of all the blood to keep going. I would just have to practice.

Next time you wont be so lucky, I thought to him. I saw him smirk. just you wait and see!

"Okay," Carlisle said, breaking the apparent silence. "Lets head on back, shall we? I want to see Esme." he said, and got this far off, dreamy look in his eye.

He is so whipped, I thought.

Edward laughed. "Not like your any better." he said. Carlisle and Jasper just starred. Edward filled them on in what happened, and I didn't have to be Jasper to know that Carlisle was embarrassed. We raced back, Edward for once keeping pace with us, and what we saw made my dead heart ache.

There standing in front of us, were Rosie, Alice and Esme dry sobbing. I immediately ran to Rose and took her in my arms. She placed her head on my chest and continued sobbing.

"Rose, babe, what's wrong? What happened?" I asked, in what I hoped would be my most soothing voice. She was so hysterical she could not even answer me. This made me worried beyond belief.

"Where's Bella?" I heard Edward ask after a while. I lifted my head from Rosalie's to notice that, indeed, Bella was missing. The girls only cried harder.

"Where is Bella?" Edward asked again, a little more forcefully although I could detect a hint of panic in his voice.

"It's all my fault!" Alice chocked out. "I should have seen this coming…I should have seen them…I should have, should have…"

"Alice, what happened?" Jasper asked, using his unique power to calm her down enough to get a coherent answer.

"Matt came," she said, and I heard Edward's deep intake of breath. "He came along with James and Virginia and took her. Once we got over the…shock, I don't know what it was, we tried locating their trail but we came to a dead end. They must have had a car waiting for them or something. And their future keeps changing, like they know my gift and keep playing with it. I'm so sorry, Edward." Alice said.

Edward pinched the bridge of his nose, although, somewhere deep down, I heard a growl of agony. Carlisle walked up to him and gave him a comforting pat on the back.

"Don't worry, Edward," he said. "We will find her, no matter what it takes. Bella is a vital part of this family, and we will not rest until she is safe at home, where she belongs." he spoke with so much authority, so much conviction, Edward could no doubt him.

"We will head back to the house and come up with a plan to get Bella back," he said, and started running towards the house.

--

Edward was the last one to make it to the house. Even as he walked in and sat down with all of us, his eyes would not loose their dead look. It was frightening.

"Alright," Jasper said. He was good for coming up with strategies. "Does anyone have any clue where this Matt might have taken our sister?" he asked. I saw Rosie nod her head.

"What about Arizona? Bella's mother used to live their, and so did Bella. Could he have taken her there?" she said. Jasper shook his head.

"I don't think so. There is too much sun, he would have to be an idiot to take her there and expose themselves." he said. I saw a look of realization dawn on Edward.

"He took her to Texas." Edward said. His voice was alive, pulsing. "Bella once told me that is where they were planning to move, once they got married. They used to plan to live together, when he was still human. I am positive he took her there." he said.

"But," Jasper asked. "the sun? Surely he wouldn't take her there. There is too much sun, its too risky, even for them." he countered.

"Yes, but you are forgetting that Texas is also a desert. Sometimes houses are hundreds of miles away. Who is to say he didn't take her to the middle of the desert, where there isn't any population?" Edward replied.

"Okay, that's a possibility." Esme said. "Does anyone have any others?"

"We don't need any others," Edward said. "Texas. that's where she is. There's nothing to it."

"Edward," I said, finally speaking up for the first time. "We don't want to be rash about anything. We have to be sure that's where Bella is."

He gave ma an exasperated look. "But I am sure. I can feel it. Bella is in Texas." he said.

"Okay," Carlisle said. "If you are sure that is where she is, that is where we will go. But I am not promising you anything, Edward. If she is not there, we will have to start again and we will have wasted precious time already. Right now, every second counts." Edward only nodded, his neck stiff. "Alright, Emmett, Jasper, Alice and Edward, you will come with me. Rosalie and Esme, I need you to stay here, please. Keep us informed if they call, or anything happens." they nodded. We all got up to pack our bags for the hunt.

--

Jasper, Alice and Edward were already in the car, waiting for Carlisle and I. my pack was already in the Jeep. All I had to do now was say good-bye to my Rose. My beautiful, beautiful Rose.

"Be careful," she pleaded. "I know you are strong, but please, for my sanity, promise me you'll be careful." she said, pulling back from our embrace to look me in the eyes.

"I promise," I said, and she could not doubt it. She nodded, content with that response. I leaned down to press my lips to hers.

"I love you," I whispered. She smiled and said it back to me. The car horn honked.

"Good bye," I said, giving her one last kiss and running out to the car.

"Okay," I said. "so what's the plan?"

"Simple," Jasper said, cradling Alice in his arms. "We find them, get in, get Bella, get out."

"Aw, no fair. I don't get to beat anyone's ass?" I said, or more like whined.

"You do," Edward said from the front. He turned around and gave me a tight smile. "But I got dibs."

"Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!" I said. I settled back in my seat on concentrated on what we were about to do. It was time to hunt

--

We got there about a day and a half later, thanks to Carlisle's insane driving, even for a vampire. Who knew a doctor could be so reckless?

"I smell them!" Alice said. "Carlisle, go 37 miles north and then 28 miles east. that's where they are."

After some driving and much pleading to speed up, we finally got to this little cottage-like house. I could hear arguing coming from inside the house, and one of the voices was indisputably Bella.

As we were getting out if the house, we saw Matt and James heading to door. The door knob twisted, and they entered. Damn.
