Chapter 37
Edwards Point Of View.
Jane's eyes fixed on Alice's, and I immediately new what she was doing before Alice had the chance to see it.
"Alice, MOVE!" I shouted, but it was too late. Alice froze, and she started shaking. Then something that I really couldn't handle… she started screaming.
But it was worse then that. She wasn't just screaming, she was screaming for Jasper. For me.
"JASPER! EDWARD! SOMEONE, STOP HER!" She screamed, and she slowly fell to the ground. Her eyes were shut tightly, but pain was visible all over her face. Jane was hurting my sister.
Before I even knew what I was doing, I jumped on Jane, tackling her to the ground. With her concentration being interrupted, Alice's screaming came to a halt, and within seconds she was on her feet.
Alice stood frozen, her head in her hands, while I was on the floor wrestling with Jane so she wouldn't concentrate for more then 3 seconds. I looked up at Alice.
"Alice, what are you doing?" I nearly yelled. "Help Me!" She shook her head. "I can't Edward, I can't do this." She said in a hysterical tone. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
"Alice you're giving them what they want. If you act this and be scared off them then they will always have that hold over you. Just an hour ago, Alice, you were the one telling me that negativity gets you no where. You can do this Alice, I know you ca-" I was interrupted when I suddenly fell frozen.
Then it hit me like a tonne of bricks hitting me all at the same time. Jane had overpowered me while I was distracted.
Pain cursed through me as she stared into my eyes with her angry yet evil eyes.
I yelled in pain as it reached all through me, forcing me down on to the floor. I had never felt so much pain since the day I was changed. It was like I was burning alive – only worse.
I screamed and yelled, not really knowing who I was yelling for. I hoped Bella could hear me, where ever she was. Then she would know I tried – that we all tried, to save her. I had kept half of my promise, the other half I wouldn't live to fulfill.
I was breathing heavily and trying so hard to ignore the intense pain passing through me, but in this little hallway I couldn't move at all without more and more pain being shot into me.
I stared up at Jane, who was staring down at me with a smug expression. She stood there, unaffected by anything, like it was taking her no amount of effort at all to stand here and torture me.
Her evil smile grew larger as she looked at me with pitiful eyes. I watched her with angry eyes, telling her I was not going to plead her to stop. She knew this, but it only forced more pain through me.
I let out a loud yell as the fire burned harder. How to explain pain when it is so… painful? I couldn't yell no more, for it hurt to much to use the effort. My eyes lowered halfway, and I didn't know how much more I could take until I begged her to kill me.
Looking through half closed eyes, I saw her mouth open and she said something, but I didn't hear it. I knew what she said, and it made me fight harder. "Game Over. You Fail." She mouthed, and it was then that I knew I couldn't give up. I was not going to let her win.
As if Alice was the mind reader in the family, she shocked me when she suddenly tackled Jane into a wall, and finally, finally the fire stopped and the pain ceased.
I was breathing heavy unnecessary breaths, but I was on my feet in seconds. Alice and Jane were fighting in front of me, but I looked ahead. There was two ways to go, and each side had 2 doors. I smelled the air for Bella's scent, and relieved, I found it.
But it wasn't the same. It smelled different. It smelled… like them. Too much like them. I looked down at Alice, who had punched Jane's face in hard. Jane's eyes fell closed, like she had been knocked out.
I didn't even think it was possible for vampires to get knocked out, so I didn't know If Jane was really knocked out or just stunned. Both ways, this was out chance to get Bella, and Alice knew it.
She jumped off of Jane and was already running down the hall way, with me trailing close behind.
Bella's Point Of View.
Was it just my mind before? It had to be. But I could have sworn I heard Edward's voice yelling my name. But if it had been, then why didn't he call back when I answered him?
The only thing from stopping me from knowing for sure was the door that I just couldn't seem to break no matter how hard I tried. How Jane had slammed it so many times I will never know.
I listened for his cries again, but there was no sound that signified he was here. It must have been my imagination. My mind, it was playing tricks on me again. Just like it had always done these past 90 years.
I heard footsteps running towards the door. It would be Jane, probably coming to laugh at me because I had called back to Edward. Every time I said something about my family, she would laugh, saying that there was no point in hoping, they were never coming.
A soft knock came at the door, and in a light whisper, I heard Alice and Edward's soft voices ask "Bella, are you in there?" Relief washed through me, almost enough for me yell with happiness.
"Edward! Alice! You came back for me!" I shouted, tears in my eyes that would never fall. "Shh!" Alice said quietly, and my eyebrows pushed together in confusion.
"Why do you want me to be quiet? You don't know how happy it is to know you guys are here!" I said happily. I didn't even recognize my voice, it was so happy.
I heard Alice and Edward fiddling with the handle, and then I knew without even looking that they would be shocked. They tried pushing against the heavy metal door, but it didn't budge.
"Alice, Edward, the door can't be opened without a key. I have tried for days to get it open but they have made it so no one can escape." I said, rushing to the door.
There was a long silence, and then Alice and Edward were whispering some things to each other. I pushed harder against the door to hear what they were saying, but Edward's voice suddenly became louder.
"Bella, I need you to grab the sides of the door and on the count of three I want you to pull with all the strength you have. This day might be strong enough to hold one vampire, but with the three of us going against it, it might just break down!" Edward said in a rush.
I considered this for a second, then decided it was the only other option we had. I gripped each side of the doors with tight hands, and took a deep breath.
"Ready!" I said. "Okay, One, Two, THREE!" Edward and Alice both said at the same time, and both their bodies slammed into the door a shard as they could as I pulled with all the strength I had.
The door creaked and groaned, and it started to move, but not enough that it broke down. Edward and Alice both leant of the door. "You right Bella?" They asked me.
"I'm fine! Do it again, it's almost out!" I said, and gripped the edges again with tight hands. They counted down again, and this time the door moved a bit more.
I kept pulling the door with all the strength I had, and I knew Alice and Edward were doing the same.
I pulled once more, putting in everything I had, and suddenly, to my surprise, the door came off and was in my hands as Edward and Alice fell to the floor in the room.
I chucked the door to the corner off the room, and it made a loud bang that made me wince. I looked down at Alice and Edward, and gave each of them a hand so they could get up.
As soon as I pulled Edward up I was pulled into a tight hug. I hugged him back tightly aswell.
"I missed you so much." I whispered to him. "You know I would come back for you." He whispered back, and he kissed my cheek softly. He looked into my eyes, I saw him grimace at the color. "It doesn't suit you. Your not meant to be evil." He said, softly touching my cheek.
Alice chuckled. "Come on you two, before Jane wakes up." She said as she walked out the door.
I froze.
"J-Jane wakes up?" I stuttered. Alice grinned at me, and Edward smiled. "Yeah, I knocked her out. Can you believe it?" Alice laughed and turned around.
My breathing stopped completely. "Stop. Alice, Edward, Jane didn't get knocked out. I tried to fight her earlier, and she did this trick where you think she's knocked out, but she really isn't, and she sneaks up on you." I said in a frightened voice.
Edward and Alice's faces both fell, and we turned to look out the doorway to see none other then her standing there, an evil grin plastered on her face.
"I thought my ears we going red." She laughed, and then she turned to Alice and looked into her eyes. I knew what she was about to do, and I had to stop it. A plan was already forming in my head.
I jumped for her, but I was no where near as strong as she was. I fell to the ground, but still, it knocked her out of concentration, and she stared at down at me. I smiled smugly.
"Bet you hate that. The fact you can't do it to me." I said, and I didn't even recognize my own tone.
Her face turned with anger, and she stared down at me. "I may not be able to use my gift on you, but that doesn't stop me from doing this." She said, and she kicked me straight into the stomach, making me gasp in shock.
I was now on my side, and I could see Alice was holding Edward back. I looked at Alice. She turned to me, her face scared. "Get the door." I mouthed to her. It took a while for her to realize what I said, but realization hit her face.
She then pulled Edward to her side and whispered something in his ear, why I turned to Jane. "Come on, is that all you got?" I said, standing up. I ignored the pain from her kick. She narrowed her eyes at me, and then I saw her fist come straight for my face.
The punch sent me flying back to the ground, but I saw Edward and Alice sneaking over to the door that was in the corner in which Jane now had her back to.
That punch, it hurt. It really hurt. Now was the time I was going to fight back. I got up and slapped her, but it barely did anything but make her take a few steps back. She laughed evilly and slapped me back. I was just barely able to keep balance, but I did.
I looked towards Alice, who was writing something down on a piece of paper silently. It amazed me Jane didn't have a clue what was going on. Alice then held up the piece off paper, and I read it as quickly as I could.
You know what to do. Do it, and as soon as It has shocked her, run straight out the door. DON'T HESITATE.
The 'Don't Hesitate' at the bottom made me realize exactly what I had to do, and how I was going to do it. Alice and Edward were out the door way, Edward carrying the door out with him.
I knew what I had to do now, and I hoped it worked. It was the only thing we had left. I reached out and slapped her again, but it just made her laugh again.
When she went to slap me, I grabbed her hand before it hit my face. Her laughing stopped, and quicker then I thought possible, my teeth bit down onto her wrist, releasing the poisonous venom.
She screamed in surprise, and jumped to the side and to the ground. It was the second I had been waiting for. As quick as I could possibly go, I ran straight out the door.
Jane had already recovered from the bite, and was now running full speed at me. Just before she could get past the door frame, Alice yelled, "Edward, Now!" And he slammed the door straight back to where it originally set. He hit the bolts in again, and they went in.
In a matter of seconds, the door stood like it never was taken down. But this time, it held Jane captive, not me.
"Let me OUT!" She shouted, banging hard against the door. I took this as my opportunity for my own revenge.
"There is no use thinking your family will come for you. Didn't you know? Once your in here, they abandon you." I said in a fake tone. I looked apologetically at Alice, but she had a smile on her face.
"Argh!" Jane yelled, and continued banging at the door. We each sighed a sigh off relief.
"Where not out of here yet." Edward said seriously. Alice nodded. "Come on, lets get Jasper and run for our lives." She said.
I grabbed Edward's hand in mine and we ran down the familiar hallway I was pushed through just days earlier.
Finally, they had come back for me. I nearly sighed with relief.
But as Edward has said, we weren't out off here yet.
We were still a long way from it.
