A/N: Sorry about not having this out sooner. I started writing it and then my boys wanted mommy and me time so I had to take a break, then it was dinner time followed by bath time so that took me a while. So without further ado, another chapter.
MMPOV (Mystery Man):
I couldn't believe that while passing through Washington, that I would see her again. I must say I really couldn't resist taking her when I saw her. After that first night, I was pretty much insatiable. Her smell is what attracted me to her. Oh God her smell was wonderful. Of course, now it was off but still so good. She really ruined all girls for me. I mean, I still had my fun but it just wasn't as fulfilling. So imagine my surprise when I saw her alone and walking on that deserted road. Of course, the whore was knocked up but that didn't matter to me. I could still have fun. I'd just have to figure out the best way to do it.
BPOV (Bella):
I woke up and found myself in a poorly lit room. It was pretty damp feeling too. Damn it, what happened? Where the hell am I? I sat there thinking for a minute before everything came rushing back to me. Shit, someone took me. He was hot. Oh God, what if it's him? I could feel the tears stinging at the corner of my eyes and took a deep breath to calm myself. I squinted my eyes but couldn't see anything. I couldn't hear breathing either so I didn't think anyone else was in here. I could feel the twins kicking like crazy so I knew for the time being they were okay, but for how long we were okay I wasn't sure. I hoped that the guys would notice I was missing and come looking for me. Okay, I know they will come looking for me I just hope that they'll find me.
I don't know how long I sat in there for but then I heard footsteps approach what I assume to be a door. I could hear the creaking of the door opening and then when it closed. I couldn't make out the person's face but I assumed it was a man judging by how big his outline was. Something inside me, told me that this was the same man who raped me all those months ago and I couldn't stop the trembling that my body was doing from the fear that was coursing through my veins. I protectively placed my hands on my belly. I would do anything to protect my babies.
"What do you want." I managed to say. I tried to sound calm but I know I was far from it and my voice had trembled slightly. I heard a dark laugh.
"You mean you don't remember me, sweets?" he asked me as if he were hurt. Oh God, I was right. It is him.
"I don't know what you're talking about." I told him hoping he wouldn't be able to tell if I was lying. He made a tsking sound.
"That's a shame because I remember you so well." He said. I could hear him moving around the room but I couldn't actually see where he was going. "I had so much fun that night. Didn't you?" he said from somewhere close to me. I could feel the terror he was mentally inflicting on me pouring into my body; making me tremble and shake with fear of what he could or would do to me. I could feel the tears falling down my face as I tried to be as quiet as possible but it was no use I could hear the sobs wracking my body. Then I felt his hand on my cheek and his breath on my neck as he whispered something in my ear. I felt like I wanted to throw up; knowing that this sick bastard was the father of my children. No, he's not their father he's just a sperm donor. Paul is their father.
"Leave me alone you sick bastard!" I yelled at him. I went to go swing at him, hoping that I would get lucky and actually hit him, when he grabbed my arm.
"Now, I wouldn't do that if I were you." He said leaning closer to me. "You wouldn't want anything to happen to this little one now would you?" he asked while trying to touch my stomach. I swatted his hand away. He gripped my arm a little tighter. I could tell that there would be a bruise there later. He let go of my arm and then I heard him leave the room. He came back a minute later and set something down somewhere in front of me. when he came into the light, I managed to get a glimpse of part of his face. The eyes that I saw seemed so familiar yet so different at the same time. I couldn't tell if it was my mind playing tricks on me or not but then he was back into the darkness before I could look any longer. He walked back towards the door and then left again. I scooted across the floor on my but, not wanting to take any chances of walking in this practically dark room, to see what it was. I could faintly make out the outline of a water bottle and some sort of food. At the moment, I honestly didn't care because I was starving. I ate quickly, realizing that it was a ham and cheese sandwich then drank my water. Eventually I could feel myself fighting sleep and just gave in, knowing that I couldn't fight it any longer.
I'm not sure how long I've been here for, a few weeks maybe, there's no way to know for sure because this room has no windows, but I still wasn't giving up hope that everyone was looking for me. I know they'll find us.
Mystery man hasn't really tried much since I've been here and for that I'm thankful. I mean, I've gotten several cuts, scrapes and bruises from my small attempts at trying to get out of this room. I've also got some stupid sores or something from sleeping on this fucking concrete shit and I wish I could take a shower but I make do with the bar of soap and bucket of water the jack ass gives me. I can't bring myself to wonder if he's watching from some screen somewhere in another part of this place. He gives me some food and water once a day. I'm sure the twins are fine, they've been moving regularly so that gives me hope that we're still okay at this point. I just wish that this was all over and that I could be back in Paul's arms and at home with my family and friends. I could feel the familiar sting of the tears at the corner of my eyes. It doesn't take much to make me cry. The thought of anyone from La Push sends me into a blubbering mess of tears and snot. I lay down, trying to calm myself enough until I can feel myself succumbing to the sleep my body is craving. Though, I know I won't be sleeping much. I can't in this place. It brings back the memories of that night, knowing that he's somewhere close by and can attack at any moment.
PPOV (Paul):
We've been searching everywhere high and low for the past three and a half weeks. We still hadn't been able to find who took Bella. We've caught a few scent trails but they all end up coming up as dead ends. It's like we're always just a little too late. None of us are giving up on finding her, but we can tell that everyone is starting to wonder if we're going to actually get a break.
The twins haven't been the same. They refused to celebrate their birthday until they had their mom home. Their words, not mine. They've actually been spending as much time at Billy's in her room as they can. It seems to be the only thing that's keeping them in check of their emotions. I think her scent it was does it. I go in there sometimes as well, just to be able to breathe in her scent.
I spent the majority of my time as a wolf; well when I wasn't in school I did. I had just phased and was starting the normal run of the perimeter when I caught a fresh scent. It couldn't have been more than five minutes old. I sent out the signal knowing my brothers and sister would be phased within minutes.
What is it? –Sam
I've got a fresh scent. Can't be more than five minutes old. –me
Where? –Jake
I showed them my location and they all we heading my way.
Noses to the ground. This is the break we've been waiting for. –Sam
It was only a matter of minutes before everyone was caught up to me. Sam took his position in the center with Jake and I flanking his left and right. Everyone else filed in behind us. We followed the scent to an old abandoned building of some sort.
I didn't even know this place was here. –Jared.
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
Alright, everyone phase back and we'll go in together. –Sam
Soon enough, we were all redressed and heading towards the building. As we got closer I could feel her presence as well as smell her. It was like the imprinting pull all over again only ten times stronger. I had to control myself not to go barging in there to get her.
"She's here." I told them. They all turned to look at me like I was crazy. "I can feel her. It's like the imprinting pull only stronger Sam. Can't you guys smell her?" They all took a moment to breathe in deeply before looking at me and shaking their heads no. "Maybe I'm just more attuned to her but she's in there."
"Alright, we'll split up. Whoever finds her first, get her out of here and back to La Push as soon as possible. The rest of us will take care of the guy who did this." Sam said in his Alpha command. He led us in to the building. It was poorly lit but with our eyesight we could see everything as if it were bright as day. "Paul, you said you could sense her and smell her, where?"
I took in a deep breath and concentrated on the pull I was feeling and let it lead me to her. I took off as quickly as possible through the building. I could feel the strength of the pull increasing but the felt the wind get knocked out of me as I went toppling towards the ground. I could hear my brothers growling at whoever did this to me. We were on the ground fighting each other. I could tell by the heat of his skin and his strength that he was indeed a wolf like us and that just pissed me off more, but I wasn't going to phase right now.
"Go." I yelled towards my brothers. They knew what I was saying. I pointed in the direction that we had been heading in and they took off. I could hear the other half of the pack running in our direction and knew that I would have help in moments. I was struggling to keep him below me when Jake and Embry grabbed his arms while I got off of him. Quil, Seth and Leah came to help shove him outside. We needed to see who this guy was.
SPOV (Sam):
I was torn between wanting to help Paul and continuing finding Bella. He made up my mind by telling us to go. He pointed us in the right direction and Jared, the twins and I all took off. We eventually came to a closed door. I could hear heart beats and knew we must be in the right place. I tried the handle only to find that it was locked. I used my strength to break the handle and opened the door. I wasn't sure what to expect so I opened it slowly.
When we walked in I could make out a body lying in the corner of the room directly on the floor. We all rushed over to see that it was indeed Bella. I shook her shoulder but she wasn't waking up. The twins both had tears streaming down their faces.
"Bella, come on you gotta wake up." I told her.
"What's wrong?" Brady asked. I shook my head indicating I didn't know.
"I don't know but she looks a little thinner than the last time we saw her." I said as I handed her off to Jared. "You and the twins run her back to La Push. Take her straight to Sue's let them know how we found her. We're going to deal with the bastard that did this to her." I told him in my Alpha tone. They nodded their heads and we took off outside. "When you get outside, Jared I want you and one of the twins to phase. Carry her on your back, we're faster in our wolf forms, have one of the twins ride with her." They all nodded their heads in understanding.
We made it outside and Jared quickly stripped down and phased. Collin climbed on his back while Brady held Bella and then safely handed her to his brother. Once he was sure she was safe he quickly stripped and phased as well. Within minutes they were off.
I walked over where the others were. Seth, Quil and Embry were restraining a guy and Leah was holding onto Paul's arms. When I got over there, the man looked at me and his eyes widened. I looked at him curiously.
"Why did you take her?" I demanded. I wasn't going to beat around the bush. He messed with the wrong people. He smirked at us.
"I couldn't resist being with her a second time." He said cockily. Everyone's eyes widened at his admission. I could see that Leah was having trouble restraining Paul so Jake walked over to help, even though he wasn't much better.
"You!" Paul yelled trembling. "You're the one who did that to her." He said his voice rising in volume. The man just kept smirking. "I can't believe you're as sick as to rape a girl and then leave her to deal with the consequences." At that the man's eyes grew as big as saucers.
"What…what are you talking about?" he said trying to hide the stuttering. So he didn't know they were his.
"He's talking about the babies she's carrying. They were the product of rape." I stated calmly even though I was feeling anything but that. He looked at me shocked.
"Who are you anyways?" Leah asked him. He looked at her like she was a piece of meat which caused the rest of us to growl at him.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" he asked smugly. Wrong answer. I walked up to him and was ready to swing when Leah beat me to the punch. She slugged him across the face and then kneed him in the balls. Fuck, that's gotta hurt.
"I asked you a question and it will do well to answer me." she said sounding lethal. I could see that he actually gulped and was scared of her. Ha ha. He smirked up at her.
"If you want to know so bad then ask him." He said nodding his head in my direction. I looked at him perplexed.
"What the fuck are you talking about?" I asked because I honestly had no fucking clue what he was on about.
"What? Don't recognize your own father?" he asked with a smile on his face. Father? No way is this fucker my father. Everyone was obviously thinking the same thing. Wait, if he's my father that means the twins are my half brother and sister. Okay this is just a little weird.
"My father, walked out when I was a baby leaving my mother to fend for herself. So, if you're who you say you are then you aren't my father. You're nothing but a sperm donor you piece of shit." I told him.
"I'm glad you think so highly of me son." He said while looking me in the eye. I didn't know what to say. I was seriously in shock or something. It was Leah who spoke up.
"If that is the case, then you know that to mess with another wolf's imprint is a crime punishable by death. You know the consequences of what it could do to the imprinted couple." She said while glaring at him. She's right. We'll have to bring him back to the elders as much as I want to kill him myself.
"We have to take him back to the elders. You know the rules." I told them. Paul's head shot up to look at me and it was pure murder. "You know the rules as well as I do Paul, it has to be done." He was still pissed but he knew I was right and nodded his head. "Come on, let's get back so we can check on Bella." I told them. At the mention of Bella's name Paul was looking worried. He turned and glared at the man who called himself my father, Joshua Uley.
"So help me God, if she or the babies are hurt you're dead, with or without the elders approval." Paul told him. He was visibly scared. Serves the fucker right. Some of us phased while the others held Joshua.
It's going to take forever to get back this way. –Jake
I just want to get back to Bella. Is she alright? –Paul
I showed him what she looked like when we found her.
Don't worry, Jared and the twins have already reached La Push by now. They aren't in wolf form so that's a good sign. –me
He nodded his head at me and we took off towards home. It took us a little longer but not as long as if Joshua were human. When we arrived we went straight to the meeting hall while Leah went to gather the elders. We were going to end this once and for all.
E/N: So there you have it. Another chapter. I didn't want to drag it out, so I thought this was the best way to do it. As always, leave me your thoughts. I'm going to start on another chapter but don't know if I'll finish it tonight.
