Chapter 25- Captive

BPOV

I struggled against the bonds that held my hands and legs down to the metal table. I struggled to remember where I was. All I could pull from my mind was watching Jacob disappearing into the crowd, towards a girl I knew he would be in love with. I remember thinking about Edward, and how I longed to hear his voice again. Something was stuck in my mouth and I still couldn't remember where I was. My head was pounding harshly.
-"Shhhhh. No need to worry darling." Slimey words filled my ears as James ran a finger up my leg. I thrashed violently against the bonds now. Fear shooting through me. I remembered the garden.
-"Now now precious, there is no need to struggle. I've done this with multiple girls, and no one has ever found out." I thrashed harder, tears breaking through my eyes.
-"Bella, I don't have time to deal with you at the moment. I have a baby due soon, and they will suspect me of course. You are safe for a few days. I will be back later tonight. Rest well my love. You'll need it." He took the ball of cloth out of my mouth, pressing my lips to his, I lashed at him with my teeth and he chuckled, slamming my head back down and forcing the cloth back into my mouth.
-"The nicer you play, the longer you live dearest." I turned my head the other way. He exited the room and I sobbed openly, choking on the gage. My thoughts on Jacob's fear when he realized I was missing, and the fact I would never see my Edward again.

Vanessa sat quietly on the couch, thinking hard. I slammed my hands onto the desk.
-"Jacob, it should have been me." Vanessa's voice startled me.
-"What?"
-"I was suppose to meet James there that night. He had seemed upset and needing to talk. I had told him I would meet him out there. He was waiting for me. But you distracted me, and Bella must of gone out there, and… it should have been me." I starred at her, shocked.
-"So if I hadn't left her, it would have been you. And since I did leave her, it was her. This is my entire fault." I sunk my head into my hands. Vanessa wrapped her arms around me.
-"Is there anyone we should call, anyone who would need to know?"
-"Edward…" she would want him to know, for him to come to find her. My hands were on the phone faster than Vanessa could process.
-"I need to speak with Edward or Alice Cullen. Yes I know what time it is. Yes I am aware they are busy people. God Damn it, this is an emergency and if you don't put me through now you will be fired in the morning I swear to god! Yes I'll bloody hold!" I realized now, I needed Edward here too.

The phone was ringing off the hook. I groaned as I answered it.
-"Do you know what time it is?" I asked groggily. I was still a bit hung over. I was used to the foggy feeling, it was nothing new to me now.
-"Edward…" That voice sounded oddly familiar, and urgent.
-"Wha?" oh well, I was still tired. They couldn't blame me.
-"Edward, this is Jacob Black." I sat straight up, stiff. I was wide awake, but why was he calling me? Jacob and Bella hadn't called this resort in three years. Alice had been to see Bella just a few months ago and had said that the Italy Hotel was doing splendid. What was going on?
-"Edward, you there?"
-"What? Yea, uh sorry. Why are you calling?"
-"It's Bella, I thought you'd want to know." Oh no, was she in love with someone? Was she hurt? Was she coming home to me? Was she sick or injured? Oh my Bella. I needed her, I loved her so much still. 'Shut up Edward, Jacob is trying to tell you something. Listen.' I shook my head realizing Tony was right.
-"Edward, she's missing."
-"WHAT?!"
-"She has been missing for two days Edward. Last time anyone saw her she was walking to the garden, and James Kempton was in there too. I found her shoes and the necklace she had on, but no one has heard from her. I don't know what to do, I just think that she'd want you to know." No. Kempton had to have something to do with this.
-"When can I get a plane there Jacob?"
-"Edward, I don't know that you can. Niles is at Aro's side right now. Victoria is due any moment."
-"I'll fly myself. Get me a spot and have a car ready, I'll be there soon." I was throwing things into a suitcase; I zipped it up and was ready to walk out the door.
-"Edward, someone needs to tell Alice too."
-"Fuck that I'm bringing her." I was shaking the jeans up my legs.
-"I'll be flying into Aro's airport soon. Be ready for us Jacob."
-"I will be. Edward, I'm sorry I let her out of my sight."
-"Yea well this is my fault, she should have been with me." I hung up the phone.

Five minutes later I was pounding on Alice's door. Jasper opened it, his boxers on. I didn't think twice about what I was walking in on.
-"Alice throw together a suit case, we are going to Italy." Alice sheet was up on her chest in a moment.
-"I know that you did not just barge in here to drag me to tell Bella something." She was extremely snappy and I had to fight the urge to slap her.
-"Bella's missing."
-"What's she missing?"
-"Alice, Bella has been abducted. Jacob just called me, they think Kempton got her." Alice just stared at me. Jasper was already in movement, throwing her clothes into a suitcase, he tossed a tank to her and some shorts. I turned my back so she could get dressed.
-"How long Edward?" she was rushing about now. I sunk into her bed, feeling the desperation and helplessness sinking into me.
-"Two days. Jazz will you tell Carlisle?"
-"Of course. Get her home safe Edward."
-"I should of never let her go." Alice's arm was in mine and Jasper carried our suitcases down stairs. We stopped in the lobby to explain to them that we were leaving and that any important calls were to be forwarded to our cells.
-"Oh so that gentleman really did need to speak with you?" Lauren spoke lightly. I glared at her.
-"When we get back Lauren, you will be fired for something or another." I turned away from her harshly. If I found Bella, no when I found Bella, she was coming home with me. We were suing who ever we had to, but she was coming home with me. If I had to drag her here and explain to her, abduct her, just so she'd know I still loved her.

How long had I been here? James stood in the corner, knife in hand. I had exhausted all my fear and hopes. He hadn't had enough time to have his way with me yet, Victoria called him every few minutes. I assumed we were somewhere near his home, because he'd spoken of her being near birth, and that Aro had arrived. So he was able to keep up the pretenses of not having me, while keeping me in here.
-"Bella…" he had returned from the outer room. "Victoria is going into labor. I will be gone for a long time. I would like you to meet my servant, Mike." I glared at his greedy blue eyes, he would let Kempton keep me, and I knew it.
-"Now Mike is here to take care of you while I'm away. He has a strict order of no intimate contact with you; I want that pleasure for myself. He will bring you your meals. Now behave like a good girl and maybe I'll bring you a treat." They left me again, turning off the lights. I felt my muscles relax. I was safe for a while at least, maybe then someone would save me. I doubted it, but I had to hope every now and then, I just had to.

The room was stiff in silence. Why Edward insisted on staying alone in Bella's room I had no idea. A week had gone by and Victoria was in labor. There wasn't enough to a search Warrant for the Kempton Estates. Niles had taken a lone James back to the house and there were no other leads. Edward lay out on her bed, motionless. Jacob and Vanessa were out, and I had resided to sit with him today. I couldn't find anything else to do. I flicked the mouse on her computer and it jumped to life. I gasped as I saw the words fill the screen. Edward sat straight up.
-"Edward, she was…"
-"What Alice?" his voice was stiff and rigid. He hadn't used it in days.
-"She was writing to you, there is an email for you." He was at the desk before the sentence was finished. I got out of the chair so he could sit. I knew I should move away but I couldn't.

Edward,
I know this letter is three years later then you would of wanted it, but it took me this long to be able to read any of the letters you wrote. I know it wasn't your fault, and I know how long I knew that deep down you really did love me. This is probably the hardest thing I will have ever wrote, but I'm sorry for leaving without trusting you. I want to come home, but I don't know where that is without you. I have so much more I want to say, I just don't know how to say it yet. Just know I love you. Always have.

-"Bit corny but at least she forgives…" He groaned before I could finish the sentence. He put his hands over his face and his shoulders shook. My big brother was sobbing. For a whole week he'd been fighting this, but the email had broken him. I left him in the room then, I couldn't watch this. Last time I had been here, Jacob and Bella had been together, now all of a sudden there was this note for Edward, Jacob was with Vanessa. What the hell was going on. I ran right into James.
-"Ugh." I pushed myself off the floor as he studied me.
-"Have we met?" his voice freaked me out. I nodded. Bella had been very specific to make it known you stay away from this creep.
-"Ah Bella's friend, well I must be on my way, my wife and son are downstairs, but I'll be sure to tell her you say hello." Why would his wife care if I said hey. "I'm sure Bella will be delighted to have you here." I starred after him. He had Bella, the son of a bitch had just TOLD ME! I could do nothing about it at all. He winked at me and walked down the hall way. I just sat there shaking. He had implied that she was alive and that he was going to see her soon. Maybe Aro could tighten his watch. But Bella was alive and that meant she was fighting.
