Bella's POV
I groaned as I turned on my side, I sat up slowly yawning and running my hand through my hair. I looked around the room, it was dark and sort of cold, I was on a bed but it didn't seem like our bed to me.
"Edward?" I asked throwing the covers off me.
I got off the bed and stood up, I walked over to the window, I was barefoot and the floor felt like it was stone, it was freezing. I stood up on my tippy toes and looked out the window, it was raining and it looked nothing like home. I turned around I was totally confused and scared, I dug in my pockets for my phone but it wasn't there. I searched the wall for a light switch but all that was in the room was that bed, I walked back over to it, there was a thin sheet that I was covered up with and a little pillow. The bed was covered in a white sheet and had one of those old spring mattresses on it, I saw the door it was a wooden door and had a lock on. I rushed over to it trying to open it, it banged loudly as I screamed, I fought with the lock for a couple minutes before going back to the bed. I crawled on it wrapping the sheet around me, I hugged my knees trying to get heat, it sort of felt like it was winter. I heard the lock slowly click open and the door swing open, I stopped breathing when I saw who walked in.
"Bella. My sweet, sweet Bella." Aro said.
"A-Aro?" I gasped.
"Yes. It's good to see me isn't it?" He asked walking up to me.
"Where am I?" I asked looking around.
"That's for me to know my darling, how are you? You just had another baby did you?" He asked me.
"You don't need to know that."
"How is Madison doing?"
I glared at him.
"Yes. I see it is still a very touchy subject still."
He grabbed my hand and sniffed it.
"Ah. Your human again." He said smiling.
"That can change in a minute." I snapped.
"No. See if you wish to become a vampire, then someone very close to you will die!" He said smiling.
"What? What are you talking about?" I asked.
"Guard. Flip the light on." He said.
The light shined and I gasped, Jacob sat in a chair all tied up in ropes and a gag in his mouth, I stared at him horrified.
"Jake!" I cried getting up and running to him.
"Now now, one bad move and with a click of a button, he's dead." Aro warned.
"What are you doing Aro?! He did nothing to you! Nothing!" I shouted.
"I know. I just thought it would be more interesting to have him here, oh and one more thing. When Edward comes, and I'm sure he will, he can only save one of you, the other will be left here to rot to death." Aro explained.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Bella, now did we forget? Didn't I tell you I would be back after I raped Madison?"
I turned my attention back to Jake, he looked up at me as the tears slid down my face, he pulled me into his lap and wiped my tears away. Aro pulled out his phone and dialed a number, he commented on how good technology was in the middle of no where.
Edward's POV
I was pacing up and down the living room, Alice saw Bella being taken, but the guy who took her was wearing a long black cloak with a hood covering his face. Jasper had Bella's phone searching her texts and for any sign that she was being threatened. Everyone was tense, you could feel it in the air, the kids were upstairs watching Micheal and all the stuff Bella bought sat on the kitchen counter unpacked and still in the bags. My phone started to go off on the counter, I grabbed it flipping it open.
"Hello?!" I gasped.
"Edward. How are you my friend?" Aro said on the other end, my heart dropped.
"Edward? What is it?" Carlisle asked walking over.
"It's Aro." I mouthed.
"Aro?!" Alice shrieked.
"Edward? Are you still there?" Aro asked.
"Yes. I'm here." I told him.
"Ah yes. Okay, well thought I would let you know I have a very special someone that I think belongs to you." He said.
"Let her go!"
"Her? Who said it was a her?"
"Aro!"
"Right. It's Bella. But don't worry, she is in very good hands."
"You son of a bitch!"
"That's it let me talk to him!" Carlisle said.
I handed the phone over to Carlisle, I was absolutely fuming, he had my Bella. Alice walked over to me with Esme and tried to calm me down, I wanted to punch something and throw things but I knew it wouldn't help anything. Alice gave me a small smile and went back to concentrating on having a vision, I listened in on the conversation Carlisle was having with Aro but it didn't sound like he was going let Bella go or even say where they were.
Bella's POV
"There. It shouldn't take them that long for them to find you." Aro said shutting the phone.
I glared at him, while he was talking in the other room I managed to get Jake free, he climbed out the now open window. Aro looked around the room and then back at the chair where Jake was.
"Where is he?" He asked.
"Gone." I said smiling.
"Gone? Where?" He asked.
"I don't know, far away?" I said.
"Your really pushing your luck you know that Bella." He told me.
He pressed me to the wall, I could feel his breath on my neck, I closed my eyes and flash backs of the night I was raped filled my head. I screamed and pushed him away, I ran to the other side of the room gasping for breath. It felt like the walls were closing in on me and that night was going to replay itself only with Aro this time. Aro walked over to me again looking at me concerned, I looked at the ground avoiding his eyes.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing." I shot.
"Yes there is. Now, be a good little girl and tell me." He said holding a knife up to my neck.
My heart stopped. I looked up at him shocked, was he going to stab me? I took deep breaths trying to act like I wasn't afraid but he could hear my heart racing so I knew I wasn't doing too good of a job. He chuckled running the knife down my neck and on my arm, he stopped at my stomach looking me in the eyes.
"What's your purpose to live?" He asked.
"My purpose?" I questioned.
"What do you live for? Or who do you live for?" He asked.
"Um, my kids and my husband?"
"So your kids are very important to you?"
"Their my world."
"And you world would come crashing down if they were to, I don't know, disappear?"
I glared at him, "You can push me around but don't you dare bring them into this!"
"Aw why not?"
"I want them to have a normal life, away from all this."
"But they do want to become vampires right?"
I didn't answer.
"And now that you discovered your power you could just wish them a vampire, no pain needed."
Silence.
"I have a, proposition, if you want to call it that." Aro said smiling.
I took a deep breath. "What?"
"I let you go, but I gain your kids as my new additions to the vampires that are working for me." He said.
"Hell no! Your a sick bastard!" I yelled walking away from him.
"So your saying that, you don't want to be free?" He asked.
"Not if it means that I have to give you my children!" I shot.
"But you do know that means you will never see Edward again, right?"
I closed my eyes, tears came to my eyes but I stopped them from coming.
"Yes." I chocked.
"Alright. It's done. Oh an Bella?" He asked.
I turned around, "What?"
I felt a sharp object be shoved in my stomach, I opened my eyes wide in shock I looked at Aro who was smiling before I looked down to see a knife in my stomach. He pulled it out making me gasp, I watched him walk to the door as my hands shook.
"Oh and Bella?" He said turning around. "Have a nice day."
He shut the door behind him, I heard the locks on the door click shut and foot steps walk away, I looked down at my stomach before I felt my knees give out. I fell to the floor gasping for air, I clutched my stomach in pain, I was going to die. I opened my mouth to wish it away but nothing came out, I closed my eyes letting a tiny scream of pain escape. I watched as the blood made a puddle underneath me, I looked over to the bed I saw the cell phone laying on the ground. I bit my bottom lip as I got on my feet slowly, I clutched my stomach as I limped over to the bed, I grabbed the phone off the ground and opened it. It had signal which gave me hope that I would be okay, I quickly dialed Edward's number and waited.
"What do you want?" Edward asked bitterly.
"Edward!" I gasped.
"Bella?!" He asked.
"Edward! Help me!" I said.
"Bella. What's wrong? Where are you?" He asked.
"I don't know where I am! Edward, he stabbed me!" I gasped in pain.
"What?! Bella! Look around where are you?!" He demanded.
"I don't know! Edward! I don't know." I said crying.
"Shh. Okay, is there a window?"
"Yes."
"Okay, does it have a lock on it?"
"No."
"Do you think you could climb out?"
"I don't know, it's really high up."
"Try."
I got off the bed wincing as I walked over to the window, I looked up putting the phone on the side of the window sill. I grabbed the edge and pulled up, it felt like I was being torn into two, I started to bleed more as I let out a ear splitting scream. I let go and bent over, I let out a loud sob, I heard Edward calling my name and picked up the phone again.
"I cant... It hurts too much!" I told him crying harder.
"Okay, it's fine. Your going to be fine. Can you see out of it?" He asked.
"Yes, but I don't really recognize anything." I said looking around.
"Look harder." He told me.
I looked out of the window, I saw a lot of lights to different stores, it was pitch black so I had difficulty reading the signs.
"Wait! Edward I think I see the shopping mall on third street!"
"How far?!"
"I don't know! But it's close!"
"Do you think your in a house?"
"It looks like it, I can see outside, the house it white."
"I'm coming Bella!"
"Edward! I love you..."
"I love you too."
He hung up after that. I grabbed the sheet off the bed and held it to my stomach, I didn't know what to do so I tried to stop the bleeding. I slid to the floor slowly and curled up in a ball, I slowly closed my eyes, I couldn't keep them open any longer.
Edward's POV
I sped down the street towards the mall, Alice, Rosalie and Emmett were in my car and Jasper, Carlisle and Esme followed behind us in Carlisle's car. I sped down a busy road getting honked at every time I cut in front of someone, Alice was watching anxiously for the turn.
"Turn! Your going to miss the turn!" She shrieked.
I turned the wheel sharply making the back end of the car slide as I sped down the street where Bella should be, I could still here the horns of the angry drivers behind me as I raced to save my wife.
"Edward! Slow down!" Alice yelled gripping on to the dash board.
I gripped the steering wheel harder pulling into the shopping mall parking lot, I quickly pulled into a space and wasn't exactly straight but I got out of the car anyway. Carlisle pulled next to me as everyone got out of the car, I put my keys in my pocket running my hand in my hair.
"She said it was a white house..." I said looking around slowly.
My heart dropped when I realized that there in the middle of a bunch of houses was the only white house on the street. I looked at it, it looked like your ordinary house, white with a picket fence and a garden. The lights were on which made it look more blended in with every house, I looked at Carlisle who was also looking at it.
"Should we go in?" I asked.
"Maybe we should wait." He said.
"Well, have fun with that, I'm going in." I told him walking across the street.
"Edward!" Alice called.
I turned around.
"Look out!" Alice shrieked.
I turned when I heard a horn honk, I saw a delivery truck coming at me full speed, my eyes went wide.
Alice's POV
"Edward!" I called.
He turned around.
"Look out!" I shrieked.
The next thing we knew Edward was on the road face down, the driver of the delivery truck managed to stop the truck after hitting my brother. Everyone took off running where Edward lay, I stood there covering my mouth as Carlisle flipped him over. Edward's head fell to the side, it was all bloody and bruised, his shirt was ripped and showed places where Edward was now bleeding. Carlisle checked for his pulse and listened to his heart before flipping his cell phone open, he was calling an ambulance. I looked around to the family and noticed it was just Esme standing next to me.
"Where-"
"They went to find Bella." Esme said never taking her eyes off Edward.
My mouth fell open, I couldn't believe what just happened. Carlisle started to do CPR stopping every now and then to do mouth to mouth, I couldn't stop the tears from falling as I watched Carlisle work on getting Edward to breathe.
Emmett's POV
"Emmett go! Go find Bella!" Jasper yelled as he and Rosalie fought Aro.
We had just killed all of his body guards he had with him, he was shocked to see just us and played his normal routine but pretending to care about Edward.
"But-"
"Do it for Edward!" Jasper yelled at me.
I turned around and ran through out the house, I saw a brown door with a bunch of locks on it, that had to be where Bella was. I looked at a hook that hung just to the left of the door, there had to be a million keys on it. I took the keys off the hook and started to try every key on it, I gave up not even half way through it, there had to be another way. I saw that there was a fire extinguisher in glass in the wall, I ran to it knocking the glass free with my hand. I took the extinguisher out running back to the door, I started to beat the locks with it, for once I was glad I worked out as much as I did. The locks fell to the floor with a loud crack as I turned the handle, I flew the door open only to see a big puddle of blood, and in the middle of that puddle was Bella.
"Oh God." I whispered.
I ran over sliding to the floor, I turned Bella so that she was on her back, she looked really pale. It didn't take long for me to be covered in her blood, I took the blood stained sheet out of her hands and set it down. A note fell on a dry spot of the floor, I took the little folded up piece of paper and unfolded it, I recognized Bella's hand writing at once it said: I Love You. I shoved it in my pocket before checking for a pulse, nothing, she wasn't breathing, I heard a gun shot ring through the house making my heart drop. I looked at the door, who shot the gun? Who got hit? Did Jasper get shot? Or even worse, did Rosalie get shot? Answering all my questions Rosalie and Jasper walked in, blood stained their shirts as they ran in.
"What happened out there?!" I asked now doing CPR on Bella.
"He ran. Oh God, Bella." Rosalie said.
"Go tell Carlisle he needs to get another ambulance here NOW!" I ordered.
"I'm going!" Rose said running out the door.
"Come on Bella, I am not going to let you die!" I said.
Rosalie's POV
I ran outside, the ambulance was already here, the lights were flashing as they worked on getting Edward in the back. I ran to Carlisle who was talking to one of the paramedics.
"Carlisle! Carlisle! You have to call another ambulance!" I told him.
"Rosalie?" He asked.
"Call an ambulance! Bella. She doesn't look good! Carlisle, I think she might be-"
"No!" Alice shrieked.
"Okay. Everyone just calm down! Bella is not dead. Her and Edward will be fine! I'll call another ambulance right now." Carlisle told us.
The ambulance with Edward drove away as the sirens started, I watched it as it disappeared down the road. I looked back at the house, what was going to happen now?
