Bella POV

'Who are you calling?' the curious voice sounded from the doorway. I turned sharply and dropped the phone, it breaking into pieces when it hit the concrete floor with a smash. I had lost my last ties to the outside world. I closed my eyes and just waited to the unavoidable.

It never came. I opened one eye. It wasn't James. He was tall, olive skinned and dark eyed with longish black hair slicked back from his handsome face.

'Who are you calling? Did James bring you here?' he smiled and eyed me, grinning greasily. I blanched, he was worse. I nodded mutely.

'Hmmm, I must admit, even in his, well state of mind he has got good taste. Though Vicky had a little something extra.' He walked around me, his shadow stretched long from the hanging light. Giving him a surreal, eerie look.

'w-who is Vicky?' my voice which I had hoped for strong and indifferent had the opposite effect. It was weak and wobbly. I mentally kicked myself. I couldn't have sounded weaker if I'd tried.

'Vicky or Victoria was a very special friend of ours. See, James has this thing- an obsession if you will- pretty girl, very vulnerable. And he story if just like yours.' He looked at me and smiled sympathetically. I hadn't missed his used of the past tense. 'Only yours is one chapter behind.'

An icy shiver ran down my spine. He was gonna kill me, and there was nothing anyone could do about it.

Edward POV

I sat in the back of Emmett's enormous Jeep, staring out the window into the cold forest, the same forest that I had wandered when I wanted to be alone. My phone buzzed on the seat next to it and I lunged for it.

'H-h-hello?' the voice was hoarse but I would recognise it anywhere.

'Bella!!' I yelled frantically.

'Bells!??' Jasper gasped and Emmett yanked hard on the steering wheel, we fishtailed off the road into the slight ditch, being held roughly in place by our seatbelts. I heard a deafening crash and the line went dead. The static numbing my ear.

'Edward! Did Bella just try to call you? Ed! Please, she's my baby sister!' I slowly regained my hearing and became aware of Emmett's pleading. His voice broken and I noticed he was holding back tears. Jasper rubbed his back, soothing him but in a manly fashion.

'Sh-she called, but the line died.' I whispered painfully, remembering the state of her voice and omitting that disturbing fact. My Bella was alive. The realisation hit me like a ton of bricks and for the first time in day I could feel the blood pounding around my body and the damp air rush in and out of my body. I was alive.

'We need to get to the police, maybe they could track the call and narrow down the search perimeter.' I pushed open the door and opened the drivers, pulling a stunned Emmett out of his seat and climbing in, slamming the door behind me and turning the ignition.

'Damn Ed. Remind me not to get on your bad side!' I grimaced and pulled the huge 4WD back onto the road, did a tight U-turn and roared back into town.

'Ah Eddie, hate to break your stride but I think Emmett's having some sort of panic attack about your driving.' Jasper sounded both amused and taken back. I rolled my eyes.

'Relax Emmett, I've been driving longer than you have, and don't worry about the speed. I just like to go fast.' I heard a soft whimper from the back ad chuckle darkly.

'Are you gonna ban me from driving your car?' Jasper looked at me funny.

'I'm seriously considering it, how did you know?' he sounded curious. I shrugged.

'Just a vibe.' I pushed my foot down and listened to the powerful engine growl pleasingly.

'Emmett, this is one hell of a car.'

'I know. And you are never ever driving my baby ever again, for as long as you live, you hear my Masen?' again I just shrugged and pulled into the small police office and jumped down from the car.

I sloshed my way into the building, relishing the warmth of the heated room, I walked up to the front desk and tapped the little silver bell impatiently, turning around to watch Emmett and Jasper make their entrance. Em burst through the door, his bulk seeming even more intimidating in the small space, Jasper followed still looking perplexed but his expression was soon changed to annoyance when Emmett shook his head like a dog and then fluffed it up. I laughed and hid my face from the spray with my arm, only to laugh harder when I saw Jaspers frustrated expression.

'How can I help you boys?' my attention immediately switched to the young lady that had just appeared behind the desk, she looked a little shell-shocked. I wondered who she had in the holding cell.

'Yeah, hi I'm Edward Masen-'

'Yeah I know.' she simpered and fluttered her eyelashes; it looked as if her eyes were twitching, or having some sort of seizure. I took a step back and glanced at the others. They were both standing there, exactly the same. Weight on one leg, head ducked and fist over mouth. I glared at them.

'This is Emmett and Jasper. We have information about Bella Swan.'

'Oh! This way!' she led us hastily past the desk and to a door.She knocked twice and then entered.

'Sir, they have info on the Swan case.' She smiled again and winked before leaving. I looked past her, at the man sitting at the wooden desk behind a sleek silver computer.

'Please boys, sit. I am Officer Browne (I'm making this guy up) Darhla said you have info for me?' I decided I liked this guy; he was direct and didn't dawdle.

'Yeah, I just received a call from Bella.' He looked up, eyebrows raised.

'Really, the missing Swan girl? I thought she was a run away.' I didn't like him anymore. I scowled but Jasper was smart enough to answer before I could.

'Edward is her boyfriend, Emmett's her brother and I'm her best friend, we each love Bella with our whole hearts and I know her. She would never ever purposely hurt any of us, especially Edward. She loves him.' He said simply. I smiled gratefully at him before turning back to Officer Browne who looked pensive.

'Hmmm, you're sure that it was her? Did she say anything?' Emmett shrugged. She rang Edward.

'She said "hello", but before I said anything the line went dead, I know she's in trouble. Could you possibly track the call?' I could feel the worry and anxiety painted all over my face.

'We can try; the most we could get would be from what satellite the call came through, if we were lucky. He ran a hand through his thinning hair. 'Pass me your cell.' I handed it over. 'I'm gonna need to keep this for a few days, but we'll give your home a ring when we get the results. It has to be sent to Seattle, we can't do the tests hear. Forks is too small a town to have that sort of technology.' We nodded.

'Thankyou so much, everyone we know wants her home, desperately.' Emmett's voice was unusually quiet and sombre. I nodded

'Thankyou.' Browne waved away our thanks graciously.

'It's my pleasure. Well, for your sake I hope we get something for us to go on. I'll send this out now.' We all stood and each shook his hand, trooping out slowly the excitement over. Jasper with his weird feeling thingo caught my sudden wave of sadness and nostalgia.

'Don't worry too much Edward, she'll come back, she's Bella she always has and always will. She came back to me remember?' he nudged me and I smiled slightly. Jasper and Bella had such a cute background. I sighed and looked at Emmett; he was wearing the same expression that must have been engraved onto all of us in the recent weeks.

'Yeah, she did.' Emmett smiled and clapped Jasper on the back, making him lurch forward. The two continued to jack around, pushing each other around. I climbed back into the seat I had vacated so eagerly before and resumed staring out the window, watching the rain fall softly on the cold damp earth.

A/N
