Well...it's a good chapter. You'll know what I mean by the end. Damon's thoughts are included.

See you at the bottom:)


To state the facts frankly is not to despair the future nor indict the past. The prudent heir takes careful inventory of his legacies and gives a faithful accounting to those whom he owes an obligation of trust.

I wasn't expecting this...

Caroline stopped crying after awhile, and our dinner had gone on as usual. We laughed, gossiped, and talked to our hearts desire. And it really saddened me when I had to go.

But we had school tomorrow. Even if I dreaded the thought of it.

"So I'll see you tomorrow?" Caroline asked. Are arms were linked as we walked towards our cars.

"Definitely." I said with a smile. "And I'll see you?"

"Definitely."

"Good," I said, "I don't think I can take Stefan or Elena without you."

"Ahh I'm sure Tyler would help you." She teased. She knew all about Tyler's obsession with me and how much I hated it.

"That's not funny Car," I said in with a serious voice, but I knew I was smiling. Caroline was laughing.

We got to her car first. It's a little red convertible. Fits her perfectly.

"Have a goodnight Bella," She says as she gets into her car, "And don't let the bed bugs bite. Or Tyler." She gives me a sly wink before bursting out laughing.

"I'll make sure." I call back as she drives away. "I'll make sure." The next time I say it it's a whisper. Barely a sound.

I watch as Caroline's car turns the corner before I turn around to head to my own car. I take two steps towards the blue machine when a voice stops me dead in my tracks.

"It's funny," It sounds dry, humorless. "How dead on Caroline was with that little statement."

My head snaps towards the person. They're leaning against the wall, covered in shadows. I can't make out their face. All I can see is a petite figure. Smaller than me.

So why am I so afraid?

"Who…who are you?"

"I know we haven't known each other that long Isabella," The voice says again, "But you could do well to remember someone you just met. Never know when they'll pop up again."

The person steps away from the wall and out of the shadows. I see black hair, a pretty face, and dark eyes.

"Anna." I'm a little in shock, "What…"

Anna laughs. It's dead, and so full of hate.

"I'm really really sorry to tell you this Bella." She walking slowly towards me now. And she doesn't stop until her face is inches away from mine. I can't move. I'm glued to my spot in fear. "But the bed bugs…they're definitely going to bite."

That's when everything goes black.

Damon's Thoughts #5

"Damon something's wrong." The worried voice of Charlie Swan says through the phone. I rub my face with my hand. It's two a clock in the morning. Not the time that I want to hear the new police chief's voice. His daughter's maybe, but not his.

"What is it Charlie?" My voice sounds concern, but really I couldn't give a rat's ass about his problems.

"It's Bella Damon, she's not home yet." Bella's name pulls me into the conversation. Something that scares me a little. She shouldn't have this big of a hold on me. No one should. Still, I play it off. Besides he's just probably overreacting because of the whole "vampires are real" bomb that got dropped on him yesterday.

"I'm sure she's fine Charlie. She's eighteen, and sometimes eighteen year olds stay out late." I wanted to believe that. I wanted to make Charlie believe that. But Pearl's threats were suddenly running through my head.

She wouldn't attack so soon.

Would she?

"I know that," Charlie voice is rising. He's getting more anguished-or just angry, "But Bella isn't a normal teenage girl."

That was true.

"Well have you looked for her?" I asked.

"Yes. First I called Caroline Forbes house to see if she was there, but the girl said she wasn't. That she left Bella at the Grill at around ten."

"Did you check the Grill?" My voice was calm, but on the inside I was getting worried. Really worried.

"Right after I called Caroline." He chocked, "Damon…her cars here, but I can't find her anywhere."

My unbeating heart stopped.

My blood boiled.

And I saw red.

How dare she! How dare Pearl push Bella into this! Bella was completely innocent of everything. Just another beautiful girl. A smart, crazy, beautiful girl. Why did Bella have to take an interest in me? Why?

There was however, one thing I did know.

Pearl would pay.

The forms of torture I would put her through were already forming in my head. And they weren't pretty.

"Damon?" Charlie's voice woke me up from the red haze.

"I'll be there in ten Chief," My voice was cold. I wanted revenge, but first I had to get Bella back. "Actually make that five."


Bomb shell had been dropped. Plot twist has been twisted. And now Bella is captured and Damon is pissed. Wonder what will happen next?

Note: Hate to leave you with a cliffy like that, but I had too. Don't worry there will be another update soon. No need to get to upset. But please send me all your feed back in a review. Good, angry, or bad.

Hmmm…I think that's all I'm going to say in the matter. Can't give too much away.
