Dadnapped
Edward POV
Bella's dad was missing, how could that be? He wouldn't just leave he was a reliable man I knew that, his thoughts had not been giving off anything to the contrary. What was going on here? As myself, Alice and Jasper reached the edge of her property we stiffened and crouched in preparation, but the owner of the smell that had triggered the reaction was long gone. I looked at Jasper; furry building up in every fibre of my being and for once Jasper didn't try to relax me. I realised that he too was feeling the same way as was Alice – he didn't want to influence my mood nor could he the way he was. We all knew what had happened and knew what we needed to do…
We needed to destroy Lara.
We told Bella that we would ring all hospitals and the rest of his close friends whilst she slept. She needed to sleep in order to be able to deal with whatever comes next. She refused as I knew she would one of the reasons I had asked Jazz to come along, she soon feel under his spell and felt tired and went begrudgingly up to bed.
That was when we began to strategise. I called the rest of the family over; I didn't want to leave her. No in fact I wouldn't leave her so they came to me, as understanding as ever. We talked for hours, arguing whether to tell Bella or not , what our next move was, would Lara expose herself for what she was to Charlie, what did this mean for Charlie, was he dead or worse had she turned him? So many questions. None of which Alice could answer for some reason she was drawing a blank when it came to his future.
"Maybe because his future is tied to Lara's and since she can make herself invisible so is he?" Carlisle had come up with the only logically explanation and continued to pace as we tried to make hard decisions about what to tell and how much if we did.
You would think with 7 Vampires, 3 of which have gifts we would have sensed her there. All that had alerted us was the gasp that she gave out. We all span around ignoring our human façade and there stood the soul reason for my existence - baggy clothes and all - in the door way.
"I knew it, dang it I knew it" she was whispering but the way she looked at us, she knew we would have no problem hearing her. "Ah man of all the things to be right about on all of the days, this just sucks" she glance up and blushed "No offence sorry" and looked down at her feet.
We all just stood there collectively we had nearly half a millennia of eternal life experience and yet we just stood there unknowing what to do.
It was Emmett that broke the stunned silence first with his booming laugh
"I knew I liked her! She just finds out that she's girlfriend to a vampire and she makes a sucking joke!! Awesome man!" he whooped which got him a slap upside the head from Rosalie. But you can't fault the guy, it worked the atmosphere disappeared almost completely, everyone relaxing just enough to know that no big outbursts were coming.
"Oh, well I guess that explains it then" she mumbled
"What does love?" I could feel Jazz trying to make me calm down but she was making me so nervous, I was waiting for the screaming and the running but it never came.
"Oh just how you got here so quick" she smiled guiltily up at me, as if having a secret of her own.
Rosalie stepped forward slowly towards Bella, I instinctively growled at her, Bella looked up and glared at me?!
"Play nice Edward, she's not coming over here to hurt me, no needed to go all animalistic on her" she amazed me, my mouth gaped open from her response, how can anyone appear to be so accepting so soon after learning what she had. Then the pieces started to fall together. Why Alice had seen her drive to our home like a bat out of hell only to turn around. She was judging the time it would take to get here. The very tight hug she had given me only yesterday, the offering me food. She was testing me, testing to see if she was right. The fact that when she had her suspicions about me she hadn't run -instead she was determined to find out the truth made my heart swell with more love than I ever thought possible.
"You're right I'm not going to hurt you, I just wanted to give a little comfort that's all. It's got to be stressful learning all this and then your dad being kidnapped..." Rosalie trailed off at the end "Sorry Edward, I didn't mean to scare you, I told you I would help and I am trying to be nice" her thoughts where pure she hadn't meant to, she turned and grimaced at me in apology, I nodded and smiled a little to let her know all was ok. Bella had become very pale all of a sudden and then she was gone. I reached her before she hit the floor. "Ah here it is I thought the being afraid and running away only she couldn't so she fainted, I'm a monster how can she love me?. As I sat, watching my love fight her inner battles my thoughts became a whirl, I couldn't make sense of life, I realised that I had made this happen, if not for me her father would be safe, she would be safe. How can loving one person so much with every fibre of your being feel so completely right but yet knowing that by being near them, needing them so fiercely that you are in fact condemning them? That thought crippled me right there, I could not move, I could not function knowing that I had doomed my soul mate.
But then she uttered the words that released me from my torture, the words that would forever be imprinted within my brain for all of eternity "Edward don't go, please don't leave me" she whimpered in her sleep as I stroked her head waiting for her to return to me once again, but for now she needed to process this information. I may a monster but it will always be her decision whether she can love me as I am and that sparks eternal hope.
My family began to refine our plans as Dawn approached, the only solid conclusion we could make was that Lara may only be a lone vampire but her gift makes it very tricky to find her in order to exact revenge.
