Hey everyone!! ok well i finished my homework early today so i decided to write you another chapter!! ok well im sorry but this one is sad and the ending is a cliffy. i will try to update the next chapter soon so you know what happens!!
Edward POV
I had followed the white van for hours. It kept turning down small dirt and gravel roads. I tried to keep up with it as best as I could, but my little Volvo wasn't meant to drive through this.
My engine finally gave out and the van sped off. I quickly jumped out of the van to inspect the damage. I realized I couldn't fix it, because I wasn't as good as Rosalie is with cars.
Are they still shopping? I thought. They couldn't be shopping for this long when they knew that Bella was in danger. I knew that Alice cared about Bella, she told me that they were practically like sisters. Maybe Alice and Rosalie are in danger too. Spoke a deep mysterious voice.
I spun around searching for someone nearby, but I couldn't see anything. There wasn't even a breeze or a whoosh of leaves. Maybe I'm going crazy. I thought. I quickly pulled out my cell phone to call Carlisle, I had already called the police earlier. Now that I think about it the police were supposed to be helping me.
I was pulled out of my thoughts as someone spoke on the other line. "Hello Edward?" he answered. "Carlisle? Please, I need help. I found Bella and I was following the van but then my engine broke down and the van got away and I don't know what to do." I spoke rapidly. I hadn't realized how panicked I actually was until I heard my voice crack. "Edward, son, calm down. First tell me where you are." he said in a reassuring voice. "I'm not sure, somewhere over in eastern Washington." I replied.
I hadn't actually been paying attention to where I was heading. I was intent on staying close to the van and saving Bella. "Ok, well I will head over there. Just stay there and I will be there as soon as I can. Have you already called the police?" he questioned. "Yeah I have. Thanks, Dad." I replied as I hung up the phone.
I closed the hood of the Volvo and quickly trotted over to the drivers side and sat in the comfortable seats. I sat for a moment debating what to do for the several hours I had to wait. I hated waiting. I wished I could be chasing after the evil people that took Bella. I wished I could save her. I hope she is ok. I laid my head back, but quickly shot it back up as I spotted something on the dashboard.
It was as small piece of paper and I pulled it into my fingers as I opened up the note. It read:
Edward,
This is Bella. Jacob Black has taken me. I don't know where. I have escaped but he is coming so I wanted to say, I love you so much. I'm sorry for everything that I have caused. At least I wont be a trouble to you any longer. Tell Alice that I love her and I am sorry for ruining the dress. I love you.
-Bella
I read the letter over and over again as tears streamed down my face. So the large russet-skinned man I saw in the van must be Jacob. I read it over once more and became confused. What does she mean she wont be a trouble to me any longer? She is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Why is she sorry? None of this is her fault. She's sorry for ruining the dress? How did she write this and leave it in my car? I contemplated these things as I sat in the total silence of my car.
I could feel the tears drying on my face as I tucked the letter and put it in my pocket. I will never lose this. I thought. I sat there for a moment as I watched the rain pour down outside. I could hear the pitter-patter on the roof as each drop hit my car.
I suddenly sat up in shock as the mysterious voice spoke again in my mind. What are you doing here? So, your car doesn't work. Why is that going to stop you from finding Bella? I sat in shock for a moment, before I realized that the voice was right. I need to go find Bella, why am I letting this stop me? I quickly jumped out of the car and into the pouring rain. I ran to the truck and grabbed a few essential items before walking on the gravel path towards where the van disappeared. Your going the wrong way. Spoke the voice. "What do you mean I'm going the wrong way?" I questioned. "I clearly saw the truck go this way." I argued with the voice in my mind.
Turn around and head north. Spoke the voice. It obviously didn't want to answer my questions. I thought about it for a moment before deciding to do what the voice told me. It helped me to decide to go search for Bella. For some strange reason I felt like I could trust it.
I pulled the compass out of the back pack that I had retrieved from the trunk. I quickly started walking in the direction that pointed north, in search of Bella.
………………………………
I had been hiking for hours. The voice hasn't spoken at all. I realized I had become dependent on it for my directions. I had kept a steady pace north. Hopefully I could find my way back if I needed to. I had already tried calling Carlisle, but my phone had no service out here.
I had tripped several times over the logs and roots that stuck out of the ground. My legs felt weak, but I knew I had to keep moving on. I can't leave her, I have to keep searching. I kept repeating these words over and over again in my mind. I walked in silence for a couple more moments before the voice spoke again.
Your almost there Edward. You can do this. I smiled as this was spoken. I am almost there. I am near Bella. My face glowed as I kept walking north toward my love.
Finally, the trees broke through into an empty parking lot. I could see an old abandoned looking building. This is it. I thought. I could feel it. I quickly walked towards the building. I reached a spot where a large piece of wood was covering a section of the building. I moved it as quietly as I could, so as not to let anyone know I was here.
I quickly and quietly moved the wood off of the building, revealing a broken window. I looked in and almost jumped through the window, which was far from the floor below, at the sight before me. My legs were frozen, though, and I couldn't seem to move.
I could see Bella lying on the stone floor as a tall man stomped on her leg. She cried out in pain and he seemed to enjoy it. He started to talk to the a man behind him, whom I recognized as Jacob. The other man stepped forward again, and stomped on her wrist, which would definitely be a break.
She screamed out in pain once more before the man named Jacob yelled out, "Come on, man. He said to finish her off, not torture her." They're going to kill her! My mind screamed at me. I quickly ran around the building searching for an entrance.
It took me a few moments, but I finally found a large, rusty, old, metal door. It had locks but they were rusted and already broken. I quickly yanked open the heavy doors and yelled at the sight before me. "Bella!" I screamed as I heard a gunshot. I ran toward her as Jacob ran off in the other direction.
I knelt down near her. She was already unconscious. I held her and kissed her lightly before taking off down the hall toward Jacob. I stopped to find him holding a door shut. I could hear police sirens in the background. Good, they are finally here. I thought.
I turned my head back towards Jacob, with confusion. I could hear yelling behind the door, "Jacob! Let us go!"
Jacob then turned to look at me and said, "I'm so sorry. For everything." I stood there in shock. I couldn't seem to move or speak. "Go save her Edward. I'll stay by the door." he said. I stood there for a few moments, very skeptical of whether or not I should leave. Then I decided that Bella needed me, whether or not these men got away.
I quickly turned around and sped down the hall to stay by Bella. Please let her be ok. I pleaded.
………………………………
I sat in her hospital room for days. The doctors told me she might not ever wake up. She is on life support, barely alive. Her and Alice are both in critical condition. Rosalie was a little cut and bruised but they are releasing her today. I don't think she's going to leave, though. Alice is awake and talking, but she has several broken bones, bruises, and stitches covering her body.
My angel is the only one that wont wake up. She was hurt the worst, I think. I've talked to her, trying to keep her updated on everything. I'm not even sure that she can even hear me, but I have to try.
Sometimes her heart will race and the machine will start beeping. This scares me,
I'm afraid I'm losing her but the doctors quickly inject her with some medicine and she is back to normal. Whatever normal is. I've thought about the voice a lot. I wish it would help me, but it hasn't returned at all.
I'm sitting next to her now. I can her hear breathing. Actually it's the machine pushing air into her lungs, but it is what is keeping her alive.
All of a sudden the monitors start to beep again as her heartbeat keeps raising. Nurses flood the room, and I huddle in the corner, knowing that I should get out of their way. I expect it to go back to normal soon, but it keeps getting higher and higher, until beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. The long, shrilling noise that I never wanted to hear in my life.
