Chapter Twenty

Bella's Point of View

The scream that Bella heard tore at her heart. She felt Caius's hands encircle her- keeping her in place. She had arrived only mere moments ago and she wanted to rip the red hair off of the twisted vampire that has made it her immortal goal to torment her into oblivion. While Demetri and Felix went in before her – she knew she was still human.

But God dammit her father was in there. Suffering. She just couldn't do nothing.

The shocked gasps from behind were nothing to Bella – she had forgotten about the new visitors that had arrived. She was more concerned about the vampires in the building before her then the vampires that she had once considered family. She pulled away from her mate's embrace.

"Bella, you should – "Caius started to say but the look that he got was one that he was familiar with. Bella could see the troublesome worry of her mate – but he soon released the grasp that he had on Bella.

"Be safe, but stay close." Bella nodded, and at any other time would be touched with the affection and caring nature that Caius was showing. But at this moment, Bella's thoughts were somewhere else.

"Bella –"Alice, tried to warn. But right now Bella wasn't paying attention.

Bella marched on without further annoyances. Four sets of stairs were presented to her and her companions. Caius had lifted her up and using vampire speed was nothing and they were there less than a second. Another scream erupted from a male's lungs, and Bella's eyes instantly met the holder of the screams. Charlie looked awful and would kill Victoria if it was the last thing she did in her fragile human life.

Charlie's Point of View:

One day earlier…

Charlie had awoken to the darkness only a day ago. He didn't remember that much but he felt like he had taken a tough blow to the stomach. His clothes were dirtied – accessing his surroundings. He was the Chief of Police in Forks, Washington, for a reason.

He didn't give in easily, and whatever, or whoever had kidnapped him wouldn't last long. A creaking of a metal door alerted Charlie to a person entering his caged captivity. It wasn't a man, but a women with unforgotten red hair.

Charlie remembered the girl or women that he had seen standing the doorway of his home. The question was – what did she want with him? He noticed then, for the first time, he was cuffed to a brick wall. His eyes glancing at the cold- ironed cuffs that made him glued to the place he was currently kneeling from.

"It will all end soon." Charlie was startled at the feminine voice.

His brown eyes surveying his captor. He had learned yesterday that she had also taken Phil – his wife's boyfriend. It had been a shock for the both of them, however, he noticed that something was different about Phil.

His eyes was the first thing Charlie detected. His eyes were red – the same as his captor – what would she do with him, what about Phil?

"What will end soon, please let me go?" Charlie pleaded not asking. But like a bolt of lightning the women was in-front of him.

"Now I can't do that. Bella has so much to look forward to."

That one word made Charlie's whole world go cold. What did Bella have to do with this?

"Don't you dare harm her, she has nothing to do with this!" Charlie yelled – getting up from his position from the ground battling the constraints around his wrists.

"Bella has everything to do with this, as well as, those miserable Cullens who ruined my life." Charlie stopped in his actions – the Cullens?

"What did the Cullens do?" Charlie asked- trying to piece together what exactly all was happening and the many things that he had turned a blind eye to all these years now.

"The Cullens destroyed my mate – Bella is the price for my Mate's life." Victoria simply answered. "Now, enough with the explanations." Victoria added.

"What are you intending to do with me?" Charlie mumbled in question.

Victoria didn't have to answer his question – but she felt like the human below her needed an answer. After all, a human should know when he was going to die.

"I'm going to kill you right in-front of your daughter." She said as a matter of fact.

"I'm going to relish in the feeling of seeing and hearing your screams – to never know the feeling of freedom." She had finished.

While picking up a cell phone from her pockets. Charlie's eyes widened in recognition of the phone the women possessed. It was his – thinking that she had taken it when he was knocked unconscious.

"What are you – "He asked when Victoria only made a shushing sound – by the way of smacking her hand across Charlie's. Making his vision begin to blur.

"Don't talk." She simply said.

Victoria could hear the frantic voice on the other end. Bella's worried voice filled the room – the phone had been put on speaker. While Victoria's eyes burned their way through Charlie's in warning for talking.

"Charlie is not here for the moment." Victoria said.

Which only angered Bella. "Who are you and what have you done to my dad?" Bella asked the most unnecessary questions – couldn't she tell who it was just by her voice?

"Come on Bella, don't you remember me. I mean your mate killed my mate." Victoria coolly explained.

"Victoria." She finally answered correctly.

"Correct, and for the revenge I have planned for you –"Victoria began to say as she was rudely cut off by Bella, "If you hurt Charlie I will come there and kill you myself." Bella the dramatic.

"I would love to watch you try. But, unfortunately Charlie doesn't have much longer."

Lashing her hand across Charlie's face once more – from Bella's frantic voice Victoria could assume she heard it as well. "Charlie, if you can hear me. Stay strong, I will be there soon."

"Bella I wouldn't waste time. You don't know when I just might slip." She was being truthful. From her lashes she could see blood releasing from the wounds. The blood was tempting – but she could sate her blood lust for a little while longer.

"Victoria, I will be there. You're going to pay." She finally voiced.

"I look forward to it." As Victoria shuts the flip phone.

"It looks like your daughter has kept a huge amount of privy information from you. Information that just had might have saved your life. Too bad."

Charlie watched as her form retreated out from the cage that held him prisoner. He didn't want Bella to come – he didn't want to see his baby girl in so much pain. He concluded if Bella didn't tell him the so called 'information' that Victoria mentioned- it was so his life could be kept in a safe distance from whatever was going on around him.

He wasn't going to give up that easily, though. He had training at the Police Force – but having a feeling that just wasn't enough for whatever happened next.

End…

Till next time….
