Chapter 26 Rise Above This

Edward

My mind was racing as fast as Emmett was driving his jeep. Let me tell you, he was breaking a few laws with his driving. Speeding was just one of them. Rose was telling him where to go with the GPS through the phone that the girls had.

They had already stopped once but were too far ahead for us to catch up. It seemed like they were going in circles at first but then they started heading towards Tulsa. I felt like that was a confirmation that Alexander or his men had taken the girls.

I just hoped the girls were okay. I would be devastated if they weren't. I was trying to stay positive but I felt my fear. It was like a giant weight was on my chest pushing all the air out of my lungs. I never wanted to feel this way ever again, it was horrible.

I look over at Jasper and I can tell he feels the same way. I wish I could offer him a word of encouragement or something, but I had nothing. I knew nothing would make me feel better and I was betting he felt the same way.

He notices my glance and says, "I wish I could say something to make you feel better but it looks like we feel the same way."

"My thoughts exactly." I grimace. "What are we going to do once we get there?"

"I don't think any of us really know, as long as we try something." He replies with a grimace to match my own.

I felt like I had so many questions as to this whole situation. I don't think anyone but Alexander could answer them. This was terrible.

Carlisle

I watch the van driving off. My daughter is in that van but I am not fast enough to stop it. I look at Charlie and he has this helpless look on his face. I'm sure I look the same way. We rush back to the house to tell the women we are going to follow the GPS to our daughters.

"Carlisle…" My wife starts. She gulps and then gently says, "We can't find the other four and Emmett's Jeep is missing."

I was speechless. I couldn't even form any coherent words for a minute or two.

"WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?" Charlie exclaims.

Charlie

WHAT ARE THEY THINKING? That was all I could think and I decided to voice it to everyone. Those four were….What? Worried? Upset? Frustrated? Of course! They were tired of doing nothing! I was too and now it looks like we have to make sure all of them were safe.

Carlisle and I quickly leave in search of all of the kids. The girls kidnappers seem to be going in circles for hours until they finally start to head toward Tulsa. I was pretty sure that I knew the girls destination now.

Edward

I am jarred out of my thoughts by a shrill ringing. I realize it is my cell phone. I look at the caller id only to see one name. I knew I was about to get my butt chewed out royally. I've never been so scared of those three letters as I am right now.

"Hello?" I tentatively say to the caller.

"EDWARD ANTHONY CULLEN! WHAT ARE YOU FOUR THINKING?" My father's voice demands me.

"We couldn't just wait there quietly, Dad." I say quietly and painfully.

"Do you have Bella's phone?" He asks more calmly.

"No, but Jasper has Alice's." I admit to him.

"Good, we checked to see if they were there before we left and couldn't find any." He lets me know. "Did any of you have a plan once you found out where they are at?"

"Not really." I sheepishly reply. "We just had to do something."

Jazz and Rose look at me in horror. They seem to realize that I am talking to my Dad.

"What do we do?" I mouth to them.

Jazz holds out his hand for the phone. I give it up to him easily. I'd prefer not to explain my reasoning to my Dad right now anyway. He'd probably think I was going off half-cocked or something like it.

Jasper puts the phone on speaker. "Carlisle?" Jasper starts. "We can't just stand by and let him take the girls. It's not gonna happen. I'm working on a plan in my head right now."

"You do know how serious this is right? It's not some kids game and any one of you could get hurt." He tells him.

"Yes." Jasper replies very gravely. "Standing by and waiting for something is just to much to handle right now. We had to take action. Bella is like a sister to me and I couldn't handle losing her. Alice is…." He starts and then chokes up. "I CAN'T lose her."

"I feel the same way just the girls reversed and of course, Alice IS my sister." I tell my Dad.

It's quiet on both ends for a minute or two. Then I hear my Dad and Charlie whispering.

"We are pretty sure we know where the girls are going to end up. We found out just last night exactly where Alex is. I want you four to meet us at a place nearby." Charlie finally speaks up.

Jasper gives Rose the phone and puts his head close to mine.

"Should we?" He asks me.

"Do we have a choice?" I ask right back.

"They might have a better plan. If not, strength in numbers would be better." He says. He looks at Rose. Rose looks at Em and then back at us. She nods her head yes.

"Alright, where at?" I tell Dad.


A/N: I had a few of you that wanted an update and hopefully this didn't disappoint. I'm not exactly sure how this next chapter is going to go, it might take a bit longer to write unless the characters take over again. Lol I would love to hear from you in reviews please. :)
