Hello everyone. I am so so so sorry that I have left you waiting for such a long time! I have been so busy with college and work but I have now met all of my deadlines and am on the Christmas holidays so here it finally it... Chapter twenty five! Enjoy!

Bella's POV

As I sat watching the now gorgeous Dr Jesson, he looked at me and uttered two words.

'Freeze time'

Then immediately I was facing out to sea on the boat deck. I didn't feel any movement or see anything but immediately I had magically zapped there. I looked around hurriedly and saw Dr Jesson striding towards me with a perfect grin on his face. He then picked the chair up and threw me overboard towards the sea, I screamed as I saw the water coming towards me fast. Then suddenly before I could touch the water I was back in the cabin in my old position. Dr Jesson was still sat on the bed.

'You see, my dear, I have the ability to stop time' He chuckled.

Oh no! I thought. This is really bad!

'I can take you with me if you like' he said before standing, holding the back of my neck and saying the words again.

This time it seemed as though nothing changed, he picked the chair up and carried me back outside and I saw everything was unmoving, the birds in the sky were frozen, the sea didn't budge, the boat didn't rock. Dr Jesson dangled me over the edge of the boat and dropped me gently onto the sea's surface. I struggled however I didn't fall into the waves, I sat on top like it was concrete.

'I have the power to move things and control things when time is frozen' he informed me, picking up a piece of rope and holding it in the air. He then let go of the rope but it didn't fall. It hovered unmoving in the air. He then picked up some water and threw it up, it stayed hovering just like the rope did.

He then picked me up and put me on the deck again and said 'Unfreeze time'. The rope clattered to the floor and the water splashed into the sea again.

I was gobsmacked. How on earth would Edward be able to rescue me if he couldn't even get near without Dr Jesson freezing time and running away? I was done for.

'Now then my dear, I plan to keep you in my care forever' he said sternly. 'You will accompany me everywhere I go and if you're good enough, you will get rewards. It can be a nice life, you will get all you want but I will not accept you misbehaving. You are a vital person in my plan and this will not go wrong'

'Please!' I begged 'Please just let me go!'

He simply smirked before dragging me back into the cabin and sitting back down on the bed.

'You cannot even imagine how useful you are' He said 'But for now, until you see just how powerful I will become, you must be kept safe and guarded'.

I opened my mouth to say something but he cut me off.

'That's enough yelling for today' he then gagged me with a large strip of duct tape and tied a scarf over my eyes.

'I will be back a bit later, for now don't do anything stupid because I will know.' I heard his footsteps towards the door and then he was gone.

I was left alone, completely helpless...
