Chapter 28
"Pain is life—the sharper, the more evidence of life."
- Charles Lamb (1775 - 1834)
Edward's POV
I stood there watching my angel lying on the ground in pain and I couldn't do anything. But then, she pulled the arrow out of her body and ran away from us and into the dark forest. I screamed her name but she didn't stop nor did Raphael's men. I struggle out of the man's grip and luckily, I did get out. I bite him in the neck and then, cracked it leaving him dead…again.
"Edward, we have to follow them." Jacob said. "They might have taken Bella."
I nodded my head as we followed Bella's scent through the forest. But both vampire and werewolves stopped. Bella's scent, her blood, was everywhere. She did that, so the vampires could be distracted.
"Smart," Jasper thought the same thing as me.
"Alice, can you see her?"
Alice closed her eyes and a few seconds later, she reopened them. "They already took her."
I clutched my fists in fury, "No."
"Yes," A voice laughed.
Rafael.
"Where is she?" I yelled.
"Don't worry, you will see her again." Rafael smirked as he snapped his fingers. "Every single one of you." Behind us, there were more and more of Rafael's minions.
"This is frustrating!" Alice screamed.
"Alice, please calm down." Jasper said as he grabbed her waist.
"I can't see her." She moaned.
"Bella is going to be alright." Jonathon said in his human form. "Trust her."
"How long have we been here?" Emmett asked.
"Four days now." I answered, leaning against the wall.
"I hope she's alright," Esme thought.
"She will be." I said out loud.
"This is so boring!" Emmett whined. "Can't we break the door down?"
"We did that already." Alexander reminded him. "But I agree with your brother, Edward. Can you hear the guards?"
I shook my head. "They're blocking their minds."
"Why do we have to babysit them?"
"Stop your whining. It's the master's orders."
"Man, I wish we could kill them already if we weren't in here." Jasper said.
"Couldn't agree with you more." Jacob said.
I smiled. I couldn't believe that we were agreeing with the werewolves after all these years. Especially, Jacob and me. Suddenly, I heard the keys in the lock but the door didn't open. But I did hear a grunt.
"You honestly think we will let you take them away." A guard said.
"Then, I guess I have to kill you just like I did to your buddies." A girl said.
"But how could you if you're defenseless?" He chuckled.
"Who said I was defenseless?" The girl questioned.
Jasper and I looked at each other and walked to the door, trying to see anything through the bars. I already saw dead bodies of two guards on the floor, their blood on the ground like puddle. Then, two bodies fell on the ground, their necks bleeding and more and more bodies fell on the ground. Every single one of them with their heads cut off or their necks cut open. However, I saw one person standing it was the girl. She was wearing dark jeans, tennis shoes, and a black sweater.
"Bella?" Jasper questioned.
Bella?
The girl turned around and I saw my angel's beautiful brown eyes again. She ran towards us and I reached my hand out to her face. She felt so warm but yet cold. I could smell the vampires' blood on her clothes and yet, she managed not to have any blood on her face. My angel touched my hand, feeling the coldness. She smiled at me, like nothing ever happened between us.
"I miss you." She whispered.
"I missed you too."
"Is everyone okay?" Bella asked.
"We're okay, Bells!" Jacob called out.
"Let's get out of here." She said, pulling the keys out.
All of a sudden, Bella gasped as she was pulled away from me. Then, I realized that another vampire guard came and pulled Bella's hair away from opening the door. Bella screamed as his grip on her hair tightens.
"No! Leave her alone!"
Then, more and more guards came and behind them, Rafael walked in.
"It didn't take you that long to find them, did it?" Rafael asked Bella.
"Let them go." Bella snarled.
Rafael smiled, "Take her to the bedroom."
"No!" I screamed. "Don't you touch her!"
"No! Let go of me!" Bella screamed as she tried to stop the guards from dragging her away from me.
"Bella!" I yelled, reaching my hand out of the bars to her. She reached her hand out too but they pulled her away. "Bella!" I cried out again as they pulled her into the darkness.
A/N: What do you think? Trust me, it will get better...
