Disclaimer: I do not own anything. Stephenie Meyer owns it all. I am merely having fun with her characters. I also do not own Brothers and Sisters.

A/N…I cannot apologize to you enough for taking so long to get this chapter to you! RL has just sucked me in and I have not been able to get away from it! Many changes happened in my family since the last chapter and they needed to be dealt with. I will not saddle you with my drama but just know that the length of time it took to get this chapter to you…could not be avoided. Hopefully things are starting to get back to normal now so I will try REALLY hard to get the next chapters out much faster.

Chapter 37

Friday October 31, 2009: Age 21

Rose and I headed to the store. It felt freeing to be out of the house but Cam was still on my mind. I wondered if she was cold…hungry…being taken care of at all.

I needed my baby girl back with me.

I missed her terribly.

Rose tried to distract me as we drove. "I have news," she said quietly.

"Alright…what is it?"

"I know this is a bad time…but…I'm pregnant."

A part of me was jealous…yes…but the bigger part of me was thrilled for my big sister.

"Rose! That's great! How excited is Emmett?"

"He is beside himself!"

"I am really happy for you. This family could use some good news. I wish you would have told me sooner."

"I'm sorry…I just know how hard this is for you with Camilla missing and Edward marrying Tanya…"

I stopped her right there.

"Ro-Ro…I don't care who Edward marries. It's not my business."

She let the subject drop thank goodness. She also explained to me what had been going on with the restaurant and that mysterious disk with the password that no one could decipher.

Rose also informed me of her and Jasper's theories about another sibling.

I agreed with her but it was nuts to think we had yet another brother or sister out there.

We saw the lights flashing behind the car before we heard the siren.

Rose was being pulled over for some reason. "Are you speeding?" I asked her.

"No, maybe a taillight is out or something."

She pulled to the side of a dark and deserted stretch of road. I had an uneasy feeling about that. You know the kind of dread that you feel when watching a horror movie and the girl is just about to open a door that she absolutely should not be opening.

As soon as Rose rolled down her window, something was sprayed into her face and she screamed in pain. I saw a dark arm come through the window and grab her around the throat. I tried to pry his arm off her but he was stronger.

He pushed down on a pressure point and Rose was unconscious immediately.

I bolted out of the car and my first instinct was to run. I knew that it was Laurent…but I could not leave him with Rose.

I ran to the back of our car. How the hell did he get a police car? I felt him behind me as he grabbed a handful of my hair.

He sniffed and ran his nose along my neck.

"Hmmm…I see why Edward wants you so. Come with me now or your sister dies." I felt him press a gun into my side.

He was going to kill Rose if I did not go with him. I could not let him hurt her or the baby.

"I'll go with you now…I won't fight. Just please…don't hurt my sister."

"Such a good little girl…just like your daughter."

I gasped when he mentioned Cam.

It was then that two thoughts occurred to me.

One, we should have let Edward come with us.

Two, I would be seeing my baby soon.

I knew that if I told anyone in person…what was happening…they would not let me go meet Laurent by myself. Besides the fact that our place was swimming with cops. I knew Laurent…if he even smelled a cop with me…he would hurt Bella and CC.

I decided sending a text to Emmett, telling him Rose's location would be the best way. Then, once I arrived at the address that Laurent had given me, I would send another text to Emmett telling him the address of where we were.

I hoped that by the time they were able to get help to us…I would already have subdued Laurent and have CC and Bella back in my arms.

I sent the text to Emmett and ignored all of the ones he sent back to me, asking what the hell was going on with me. I sent him one back quickly just telling him to hurry up and get to Rose and I would discuss the rest with him later.

I followed the directions that Laurent gave me over the phone. They led me to an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Forks.

When I entered the building, the first thing I noticed was CC and Bella huddled together in a corner. They appeared to be sleeping.

I prayed that he had not hurt them.

My first instinct was to head towards them, but as I started that way, I felt something poking into my back and I heard Laurent's voice.

"Well, well, well, it's nice to see that you can follow directions like a good little boy, Eddie," he sneered.

"I want to see my daughter and Bella, now!" I yelled at him. "This is between you and me…it does not concern them."

"Ah, but it does concern them my old friend…I want revenge…for everything that I lost because of you! I lost my own child and my girlfriend. I went to jail when it should have been you. If you had been the one to go on that drug deal as you were supposed to do instead of running off to be with your whore…you would have been the one that they arrested.

"But no…it was me that took the fall. Victoria was a mess and she lost our baby from the stress. Then she went insane and was put in a nut house thanks to you and that bitch! You are going to pay for what you have done to me!"

"Could you at least let my little girl go? She is just an innocent child. Please?" I pleaded with him.

"Nope, I don't think so. Anyway, you will be happy to know that your brat is only sleeping…Bella on the other hand. I had to rough her up a bit since she would not behave. She has been unconscious for awhile."

I tried to turn around but he grabbed me harder and pushed me towards where he wanted me to go. I could tell it was a gun pressing into my backside. "You son of a bitch! She had better be alright."

The fucker started laughing.

"Oh she is fine…she just objected to some fun…that I tried to have with her. Really, Eddie…how do you put up with such a frigid little cock tease? Does she ever put out?"

I growled at him. I would have beaten his ass into the ground if he did not have a gun pressed against me. If I were killed right now…Bella and CC would have no chance at all.

"Yes, I see I made the right decision."

He was leading me down some hallway. He continued to talk while we walked.

"I have been watching you for awhile now. I was trying to see which woman you cared about more…Tanya or Bella. I planned to take whichever one you appeared to love.

"It was so obvious really. It did not take long to see that Bella is the one you long to be with. That is why I chose her."

Fuck…I thought I had been covering the way I felt about Bella. Laurent could see it…what about anyone else? Did Bella know?

I could not worry about that now. I had to think of a way to get us out of this mess…without my girls being harmed.

I needed to get over to Bella and assess the damage Laurent had already done to her.

"I don't know what you are talking about, Laurent. Bella means nothing to me other than the fact that she is CC's mother."

He laughed again.

"Yes, keep telling yourself that Edward. We both know you speak nothing but lies. Let's begin shall we?"

We had finally stopped walking and we were in a room that appeared to be an old office. I turned to try to gather my surroundings, which was long enough for Laurent to get the drop on me. I did not see it coming when he hit me in the head with the butt of his gun, rendering me unconscious.

All I saw was darkness.

Laurent blindfolded me when he brought me to the warehouse. Unfortunately, for him, as soon as he removed the blindfold, I knew exactly where I was. I knew the address and everything.

This was the old Crawford Sawdust Factory on the outskirts of Forks. It closed down when I was a baby but my druggie friends and I used to come out here to get high when I was still using.

I saw Cam cuddled up in the corner with some grungy looking stuff animal. Laurent looked at me and said, "Your daughter is fine…for now. She is just sleeping."

I nodded. "What is that she is holding?"

"It's an elephant…that I bought for my bab...never mind…I'm not a complete heartless bastard. I gave it to her so she would not be scared."

"Thank you," I said quietly.

"Let's take this…somewhere private…shall we? We wouldn't want to wake the little girl."

I nodded…not knowing what else to do right at the moment. Laurent grabbed my arm and pulled me down a hallway.

He led me into a room that appeared to be an old office. A desk, filing cabinet, chair and old raggedy couch were all left behind in the room.

He shoved me down to the couch. "Now, we're going to have some fun Isabella, before I call Eddie." He looked at me with fierceness in his eyes as he continued, "Don't fucking move an inch…or I will go hurt your daughter."

"I won't move," I told him.

"You really are such a good little girl."

He turned to the desk and started rummaging through a plastic bag he had sitting there. When I saw him, pull out the needles…I gasped.

"Yes, Isabella…you understand now don't you? You and I are going to have a very good time together."

I jumped up from the couch. I would not let him do this to me. I had been clean for so long…he could not pump me full of that shit…I would enjoy it too much.

Then I would be right back where I started…and there would be no way I could help get Camilla or myself out of this mess.

I had to fight…for my daughter…if for nothing else.

I did not make it off the couch very far when Laurent shoved me back down onto it.

"I told you not to fucking move! I would hate to go wake that sleeping angel…by shooting her!"

It was only then that I noticed that he did in fact have a gun placed on the edge of the desk.

"I won't move…just please…do not shoot me up. I am begging you…I don't want to be an addict again."

"Oh, I think I will like it when you beg, Isabella," he sneered.

I felt his hot breath on my neck as he hovered above me. "Please…don't do this to me. I have a little girl. Don't make her mother a drug addict again…please…I beg you."

"Yes, I like that…beg some more."

Once he was hovering over me close enough that I could get my knee into his groin I thrust my knee up into his manly area as hard as I could and pushed him away with all of my strength. Go for the groin was what my brothers had taught me after the rape.

He dropped to the ground and squealed like a girl and I took that as my opportunity to run. I ran with everything in me…down the hallway. I got lost for a second and took a wrong turn but finally made my way back into the room where we had left Camilla sleeping.

I had just bent down to scoop her into my arms when Laurent knocked me down the ground from behind. I fell beside Camilla. I turned over onto my back and quickly started punching and kicking at every body part that I could hit.

How did he recover from that so damn fast?

My brothers told me that move should incapacitate a guy for a good amount of time. I guess I did not knee him as hard as I thought.

I felt the punch to my face before I saw it because he moved so fast. I continued to kick and then I felt him throw my head into the wall behind me.

After that, there was nothing but black.

I only prayed that my daughter stayed asleep during all of this and that her father found us soon.

I did not know how long I had been unconscious when I finally awakened. I felt tiny hands on my face.

"Wake up, Mommy, please."

"Cam?" I opened my eyes and saw the beautiful green eyes that also belonged to Edward looking down at me.

I did not want my daughter to be awake yet. I wanted her to sleep through all of this mess.

Cam wrapped her arms around my neck and held me tight.

"Oh Mommy! I was scared! You wouldn't wake up!" Then her voice got softer as she realized she was speaking too loudly and she began to whisper, "Daddy is here Mommy! But that mean man hurt him!"

Edward was here?

"What do you mean sweetie? How do you know this?"

"I woke up and I heard Daddy's voice. I followed the voices and the mean man was in an office with Daddy. He hit him in the back of the head and tied Daddy to a chair! I came back here and tried to wake you up. We have to help him Mommy!"

Oh dear lord…my poor little girl was going to be in therapy for the rest of her life after this entire trauma.

"Camilla…listen to me carefully. What happened to the mean man after he hit Daddy? Did he see you?"

She shook her head no.

"I turned and ran back down here to you. I don't know where he went. I heard a door close somewhere so maybe he left."

We should be so lucky.

"Mama, I'm hungry," Cam said softly.

"I don't have any food baby, I'm sorry. Wait, let me check my pockets."

I felt around in the pockets of my jeans and then I felt it.

My cell phone.

That idiot did not take my phone from me.

I sent a quick text to all of my brothers, telling them where we were before I lost my signal completely. I prayed that they got it. I needed to get to Edward and see how badly he was hurt.

"Cam, I need to go check on Daddy and I need you to stay here wh…"

She interrupted me and tightened her grip around my neck…she still had not let go of me.

"No Mama! Please don't leave me here! Take me with you! I want to see Daddy! He'll protect us!"

"Cam, the mean man could come back. I don't want you to be hurt sweetheart. I need you to hide. Daddy and I will be very sad if something happens to you. Can you be a big girl and hide for Mommy?"

She nodded.

"Okay," she said in a pitiful little voice.

I scooped her up into my arms and took her into another area of the warehouse where she could hide. There were some blankets thrown over in the corner of a room that I found on our way down the hallway to the office. It looked like someone had been sleeping here…Laurent.

I hid her underneath the blankets and kissed her rose-tinted cheeks. It was cold in here. At least, she would be warm hiding under the blankets.

I left Camilla and continued down the hallway to the office.

When I entered, I saw Edward tied to the chair that Camilla mentioned. It was in the center of the room.

He was awake because as soon as he heard my footsteps…he raised his head and sparkling green eyes filled with pain met mine.

"Bella," he whispered in relief.

His face was bloody and bruised.

I ran and knelt in front of him. I grasped his face in my hands. "Oh Edward, what did that monster do to you?"

I pressed my forehead to his.

"What did he do to you, love? I see that he bruised your pretty face. I'll fucking kill him for that." Then his head darted up and looked around me. "Where is CC?"

"She's hiding…she's safe."

"Thank God…I've been worried sick about you two. Is she…hurt?"

"No…Edward I am going to untie you and we are going to get out of here. Camilla saw him hurt you and then she came back to wake me up. She said she heard a door shut. I think he left but he could come back at any time."

I tried to untie the ropes that held Edward in place but to no avail.

"Edward, I can't get them loose…I need to find something to cut them."

"No!" He said forcefully. "Laurent is psychotic and I would not be able to take it if he hurt you or CC. I want you to go Bella. Get CC and get the fuck out of here. I mean it!"

"Absolutely not Edward!" I said as I knelt back in front of him. I took his face in my hands. I stared deeply into his eyes and said, "We are not leaving without you. Laurent did not take my phone. I was able to send a text to my brothers before I lost the signal. I told them where we are. Help will be here soon…I know it. We're not going to abandon you!"

"You are so fucking stubborn," he chuckled.

"You bet your ass I am, Cullen," I replied.

Then we heard it. Hands clapping loudly…one of those slow menacing claps…behind us…and that monster's maniacal laugh.

"Well…well…well…isn't this quite the touching sight?" Laurent sneered.

A/N…Sorry for the cliffie and the shortness! However, I wanted to get the chapter out to you guys and I figured you would rather have something than nothing.

I swear that I will not leave you hanging for a month. I hope that I will be able to get Chapter 38 written in the next couple of days.

Reviewers will get a teaser of Chapter 38!

Those of you who are reading You're Not Sorry...I updated this one today instead. YNS will be updated tomorrow morning.
