I own non of the characters, If I did I would need a vacation from breaking headboards with Edward and demolishing houses with Emmett, mm maybe I could just chill with Jasper..anyway I digress , the story is mine the characters honour goes to SM.

" That was quick" I laughed turning to imagine Carlisle's hands on me I was greeted by a set of crimson eyes the fire in them danced.
I gasped, "You haven't seen nothing yet" a velvet voice said giving out a maniacal laugh.
"James?" I whispered my skin crawling at his touch.
"Were you hoping for your lover boy?" he smirked
"Edward?" I inhaled
"He wont be bothering us for a while" he spat and took of at a run, the wind was knocked from me instantly , it wasn't like when Edward ran with me he held me close to his chest so I felt the wind on my face but it was still pleasurable, now I felt as though I was on the old roller-coaster on Coney Island my cousin had taken me on one holiday.
I tried to think, tried to process what he meant by Edward not bothering us for a while, what had he done, had he hurt him , Edward was strong but James was a newborn and I had seen first hand their strength even against Emmett.
My heart ached was this it, was this the last time I would see my family, I had always wanted a close family and it took me having a kiss from a vampire to get one , I smiled for a second..I would be strong I had survived James once and I wasn't going to let him destroy what Edward and I had I was a survivor and I need this for us for our baby and on cue junior nudged me..together baby..you and me we will survive this for your daddy..and nothing else mattered from that moment on everything was clear...
He continued to run before my eyes adjusted to the scenery we were approaching an open area a field.. no not a field well... Oh noo! An air field I could here the dull whirl of a helicopter blade. James stopped and dropped me to the ground.
"This is were I leave you and send those dear Cullen's on a wild goose chase" he laughed ripping my hoodie from and holding it in his arms.
He was going to leave a false trail of our scents , they would follow his scent , mixed with mine from the hoodie, I dry heaved , that's why Edward wouldn't be bothering me, he wouldn't know were to find me.
Junior nudged again...
I know baby... but what can I do , I though to myself then the idea came to me, I fished out my new cell Edward had bought for me and quickly typed a message, whilst James was in a deep conversation with the helicopter pilot.
HANSEL AND GRETEL ~B
I hit send as James returned,
"What the fuck are you doing!" he hissed ripping the phone from my hand and crushing it, I prayed that the message had sent .
"Fuck you "James I spat , he grabbed my arm and I felt my humerus creak , I tried to pull away but he was already dragging me to the waiting helicopter.
A vampire I recognised was sat in the pilots seat...Felix... I feigned a stumble and quickly released my hair tie and it floated to the ground, I tipped it into the mud with the toe of my shoe as James pushed me into my seat.
"Take her straight there , if she is damaged when she arrives I will personally rip your fucking head off" James snapped to Felix , Felix rolled his eyes and I stifled a laugh, James grabbed my face quickly and his lips crushed mine , I tried to struggle but it was in vain my face ached were he had held it all I could do was wipe my mouth on the back of my hand.
"He is going to find me, and when he does your ash" I spit venom dripping from every word.
"Bring it" he laughed "You'll be too fucking broken by then he won't want you" and with that the doors closed.

I stared at my phone processing my fathers response,
"Edward...I'm sorry.." was all he said, and I knew...
"Carlisle?" waiting for him to confirm my fears.
"Ten fucking seconds" he chanted into the phone.
"Carlisle" I growled he wasn't making sense , ten fucking seconds to what?
"Edward I left her for ten fucking seconds..in our own driveway.." he broke off at the end and it was then I knew..my phone buzzed again showing me I had a message , too angry to look I ignored it, it was probably just Rose telling me what I now knew.
"Where the fuck is she dad?" I growled , I had to place the blame on someone and he was the closest person.
"I don't know son...it was..." he continues to speak but I zoned the words 'I don't know' screamed in my head.
"What do you mean you don't fucking know" I shouted down the phone taking off at a run , fuck the car... running would get me home so much faster.
"Did you listen to anything I said?" he hissed, my silence was all he needed
"Edward..James took her, I don't think they are stupid enough to take her back to the old place..I followed her scent and it takes her in the other direction I'm heading towards Anchor but her scent is fading" he exhaled
I switched directions heading towards Anchor were the fuck was he taking her my vision was a red haze , I knew I had to focus on his thoughts if I was ever going to get her back, I shook my head , my phone buzzed the message again..Fuck Rose I know , I know..I ignored the buzz and continued to run , I could heard my fathers estranged thoughts as I neared him , he was ripping himself apart inside for this..I knew I couldn't add to it I would focus and stay calm..the best I could then the vision of the girl lying on the floor in a pool of blood entered his mind again..the one I had seen before..Not again I can't let it happen again his thoughts shouted. Again?
I slowed to a walk as Bella's scent hit me like a wrecking ball , bring the memories of the first time I had smelled it back in the club, the night of the kiss..our first kiss.
Her scent buckled my knees and I wretched forward hands on thighs my throat burning.
Carlisle was beside me in an instant his hand on my back.
"Edward?"
I shrugged it off..
"Where were you?" I whispered , he didn't answer me.
"Carlisle where the fuck were you, for ten seconds?" I repeated
"Getting my cell from my office" he whispered " Son..I..I left her at the fucking door, she only had to walk a few feet to the Mercedes..I.." he broke off.
I stood and looked into his eyes , it was the same look I had seen when Mom and the girls had disappeared.
I patted him on his shoulder and walked past him, too angry for words, I didn't want to lay into him he hadn't known , how could he have known James would be fucking stupid enough to actually take her from under our noses.
"Her scent thins towards False river.." he pointed in the direction over his shoulder.
"The airport?" I hissed "Why the fuck would they fly?"
We took off at a run in the direction of False River Airport,it was only a small airport mainly charter planes and helicopter pads, my phone buzzed again I looked at the called ID it was Jasper.
"Jazz?"
"Fuck Edward Rose just text Emmett , have you found her?"
"No" was all I could say , my silent heart beginning to crumble.
"Where are you were coming ?" he hissed
"Where heading towards False River Air field" I exhaled Hey Jazz get mom to stay home just in case..you know" I stopped I couldn't say it..
"Sure thing , we'll be there as soon as we can" and the phone went dead.
My phone buzzed again reminding me of the message, I glanced at it but didn't open it, Rose..I thought to myself..I couldn't bring myself to open it to confirm in black and white that she was gone, I placed it back in my pocket.
Baby..where are you?..please Be safe..you have my heart and when I am with you I believe I have a soul..please remember how much you mean to me ..
'Plus que ma propre vie' More than my own life.
I was brought back from my revire by a screech of tires, and running footsteps.
" Anything" asked Jasper as my brothers and partners neared us.
"No" I replied
My phone buzzed again...what the fuck..." Rose why the fuck did you text me..you knew Carlisle had spoken to me"
Rose looked at me her eyes narrowed " I didn't text you, and don't fucking shout at me like your the only one who's lost her"
I brought my cell from my pocket opened the message..Fuck!
" Its from Bella!" I choked out.
" Edward, what does it say"
I read the message..again...and again..I pinched the bridge of my nose I couldn't focus her scent still lingered in my mouth causing venom to pool.
" I cant fucking do this" I spat throwing my phone , Alice caught it before it hit the floor.
"Ooh" she smiled" I caught her thoughts and huffed
"That simple huh?" I laughed to myself
"Care to share?" Rose huffed
Alice smiled "Hansel and Gretel!"
"Huh?" answered Emmett
"Hansel and Gretel its a story and.." Emmett held up his hand I know what it is but why would Bella text that to Edward?"
"Breadcrumbs" Jasper smiled "Breadcrumbs.." he laughed again slapping his leg
"Fuck she's a smart girl , she's leaving us breadcrumbs..a trail" his eyebrow cocked.
I looked around me and a gentle breeze blew through the trees, her scent filled my nose, my mind..my head whipped round to where Carlisle and Rose were talking.
"Carlisle?" I whispered
"Edward?"
"She's been here, I can smell her scent"
"Are you sure, I cant smell anything that strong"
I laughed her scent was imprinted on my heart , I could smell the most insignificant particle of it anywhere.
" I can smell the scent a little..over here, its mixed with.." Jasper stopped and growled.
I walked to where he was stood it was about five hundred yards to the east from where Carlisle was stood.
I stood looking at my brother I closed my eyes ad her face filled my thoughts, I took in a deep breath I couldn't taste her on the air here like I could near my father a low growl emitted from my chest.
"What is it?" asked Jasper his voice low and husky.
"A false trail.. she must have known he was going to try and lead us on a false trail, she.." I broke off whipping my head round I started to walk frantically in no particular direction changing course then cutting back round.
"Ed?" whispered Emmett his voice full of concern "What are you doing?"
"Looking for breadcrumbs"
my family then understood, my Bella was fucking smart, she must have left something for me to find, for me to follow.
We searched for what seemed an age then Emmett's thoughts caught me to the quick , he was thinking of a time when he too searched in the dark for …..
I placed my hand on his shoulder , he turned and smiled "We'll find her Edward, I promise you"
"Edward!" Alice shouted, I turned she was knelt on the floor looking at something in her hands.
I held out mine and she placed a muddy piece of material in them, the scent hit me taking me to my knees, I buried my face in my hands, I could feel every fibre of the material and a few stray hairs that had been tangled into it as she ripped it from her hair.
I rocked with the material close to my face, I felt hands on my shoulders, they patted me and rubbed circles into my marble skin.
"Edward" came my fathers calm voice , I looked into his eyes , the calm seemed unnerving his eyes were dark and intense, " We will get her back" …..
