Wow things have been busy. Sorry guys, really, really sorry. Like I feel like crap, but we had a death in the family and I had to babysit my two year old cousin when my grandparents went to the funeral. It's been a tough past couple of weeks. Then I got hired at aeropostal, so theres that. It's just been really stressful and I hate to tell you guys this, but I'm leaving for a cruise today, for a week. So I won't be able to write until I come back. But my mother insisted we needed a vacation from everything and I agreed. Again I truly am sorry for all the late updates. I feel terrible. But I'm not giving up on this story, theres only a few more chapters left anyway. I promise I will finish this. And hopefully things will cool down when I get back and I'll be able to write again.
I hope you guys enjoy this chapter and I'll talk with you guys in a week. (:

Alice pounded her tiny fits on the metal doors of the elevator. Indentations began to form under every hit, "We can't just sit here."
"What else are we going to do? His powers are to strong, we can't open the doors." Emmett said resting his back against the rail.
"Yes but, you hear them don't you? Their going to fight for her. We can't lose Edward and Bella." She said as she put her forehead on the door, her arms falling to her side.
"We won't lose Edward." Jasper said, "We couldn't. He won't die."
"Depends on what Ryan has planned. You don't know what Bella might have told him about vampires death. He just might have a lighter in his pocket or something. With his power, anything can happen."
Emmett bent his head back to rest on the wall. He looked up seeing the emergency escape door above him, "Could we use that?"
Alice turned around as Jasper looked up to follow Emmett's gaze, "The escape door...that's it." She walked in front of Emmett, "Lift me."
"Just jump."
"Will you just lift me?" She asked annoyed.
Emmett huffed and bent down. He cupped his hands and laid them next to her feet, "Step." As soon as he had all of her weight on his hands, he lifted up.
Alice pushed the tiny passageway door up and to the side. She could see a ladder next to the elevator, "Theres a ladder. We can climb to the roof."
"Alright, then go. We're right behind you." Jasper said sweetly.
Alice smiled and pushed herself up. As soon as her elbows touched the top of the metal, she froze. Her eyesight went black as the future flashed before her.
Emmett waited impatiently as Alice stood there, "Alice, let's go please."
No response.
"Alice?" Jasper asked worried, "Honey?" He looked down at Emmett, "I think she's getting a vision."
Suddenly Alice's knees buckled as she came back. Emmett quickly grabbed her legs before she fell, "Are you okay?"
"We've got to hurry." She pulled herself up and looked down the hole, "Like now. Let's go."

Ryan stared at Edward in front of him. The quiet moans of Bella could be heard behind him. With her lifeless noise, a slow thumping sound echoed in their ears, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"I'm positive." Edward tightened his fist as he stood there. He tried his hardest to ignore the calls from his beloved Bella. Her quiet whimpers felt the same as knife being thrown at a human, just painful to listen to. As much as he wanted to just close his eyes and open them to see his house again. Bella sitting right in front of him. Just to see how things were before all of this happened. Before he let his stupidity get the best of him and bite Ryan. How everything would be so good, but it wasn't like that. This wasn't just a nightmare this was his life and Bella's. The thing is, Bella was the only one in risk of losing it. Losing her life, everything she loved and cared for. The small fabric of her torn shirt around the cut on her wrist and the pressure being placed by her other hand was the only two things keeping her heart beating. Even if it was slow, at least it was still there. The tiny sound was still there. His only chance to keep his life sane, was still there.
He turned his head to look at her, the color from her face was slowly disappearing. He needed to stop this madness and get to her. She was his first priority, mostly his everything.
"Wow and I thought Bella was already pale." Ryan joked.
Edward quickly pushed Ryan backwards with all of his strength. As his body flew, Edward ran with it and before Ryan fell of the edge, Edward grabbed his shirt and flung him back into the wall, "I'm done with your bullshit." He ran and jumped onto his chest. The breath from Ryan's lungs came out with a rush as a small cracking sound echoed from his ribs. Edward let his fist collide with the bone structure of Ryan's face. Another crack was heard.
Ryan yelled in pain as another punch was thrown, "Get..." He put his hands on Edward's chest and pushed up, "Off." He used his power to slam Edward into the celling.
"No fair!" Edward yelled in frustration.
"It sucks to have a useless power like yours huh? Sucks for you."
Edward looked at Ryan below him, if Ryan could use his for destruction so could he. He concentrated on Ryan's thoughts, zoning in on what he planned to do next. Suddenly Edward rolled to the left as Ryan tried to throw a punch, which was mostly just air, at Edward, "Ha!"
Ryan huffed and threw Edward into the ground, "Bet you didn't see that coming."
"No I let it happen, that way I could do this." He ran into Ryan, throwing them both onto the ground.
As they slid along the fresh cut wood, Ryan flipped their bodies, so he sat on top of Edward. One after the other, he throw his fist harder into the side of Edward's face. Edward bent his head backwards to see the edge of the building coming quickly.
Bella took in a weak breath and tried to yell, "Edward! The floor...stops." She tried to catch her breath as she watched.
Edward listened to her speak to him, such worry in her voice. He quickly grabbed onto the wood with one hand. Suddenly their bodies stopped moving and Edward let go. With no hesitation he grabbed onto Ryan's shirt once more and threw him over the edge.
A breath came from his open mouth. He struggled to get up, grabbing onto the wall to for support. Even for being a vampire, punches in the face still tended to hurt. When he was finally up, he looked at Bella. With a smile on his face, he began to walk to her, "It's fine now."
When he was within arms reach of her, he suddenly was tackled from the side and thrown into the wall once more, "Fuck!" Edward yelled.
"Thought you could just throw me out off the building and I'd stay down?"
"Honestly? Yes." Edward said as he tried to push himself off the wall.
Ryan punched him in the chest, a loud snapping sound came after the pound. Again Edward yelled, "Again you were wrong." Ryan grabbed his face, "Your girlfriends dying, just let her go. You can't win this battle."
"I can try."
"Not successfully. Without the rest of your damn family, your nothing." He spat.
"Fuck you."
Ryan chuckled, "Fine, waste my time. I don't have anything better to be doing."
"That's because your family left you. You have no life. Even your mother let you live on your own, not because she wanted you to be an adult, but because she didn't care about you. Look at you, who would care for a disaster like you?"
"Don't you bring my family into this."
"I'd bring your friends, but you got none."
Ryan punched him again, "You sure talk more then you fight."
"That's because what I say hurts you more then what I can physically do."
"It doesn't hurt."
Edward huffed, "Your own father killed himself to get away from you."
"Now that, hurt." Ryan stood up, dragging Edwards body along the wall as he got up. He slammed him into the wall once more, "Say something again, because your little doll is beginning to smell really good right now."
"Do it and I'll have your life."
"Yeah, thats what you keep saying."
Edward looked at Bella, watching her legs fall flat on the floor and her back slid down the wall as she sat there. Again he could hear the beating from her heart getting slower and slower. Almost to where he could barely hear it, "Bella!"
"That will do no good."
"Bella please, don't give up. Please!" Edward yelled.
Bella swallowed the liquid in her mouth. The tight grip on her wrist had loosened as time had passed. The pool of blood beneath her was getting bigger by the second. She wanted to throw up seeing it all around her, but she was to weak to even try. Her vision kept going in and out as she watched them fight.
Flashes of her father began to play like home movies. Moments with her mother played in front of her. Then there were the moments with Edward. Every single breath taking moment with him. Even the ones that weren't so great, like when he told her he was a vampire and she practically called him insane and tried to run.
Then there were the moments that were more then breath taking. For example, the moment when her body became fully adult. The feeling of every thrust and kiss. The slight touch from his hands on her warm body. She could still feel his cold lips trace along her neck, nibbling on her soft flesh. His wonderful breath on her face. The moment she had waited for since the day they meet. The moment she'd never get to live again. She could never get to feel him, kiss him, touch him. Never again would she lay below him, taking in his air. It was over, every last chance for survival.
The only way she knew she'd be able to see the light of day again was to get bitten. Something Edward would never do, never even think about doing. Even if it meant her life, she knew he couldn't and she understood that. Even though she hated Ryan, she craved for him to just bit her. To just stop this and drink what he wanted. Bella never thought in her entire life she'd wanted the most painful feeling to go through her body as the venom filled her veins. She wanted to feel the burn, anything but the numbing of her body would feel better.
The screaming of Edward made her open her eyes. Again he pleaded, begged for her to stay alive, to keep trying. But it was getting so hard to even keep taking in the air around her, her body was giving up even though she was still trying.
"Bella keep looking at me, watch me. Don't let your eye's close. Please Bella, I love you. You hear me, I love you and I can't live another second without you. Please keep your eyes open. Please Bella." Edward yelled again.
A tear rolled down her face as she looked at him, "I love you too..." She whispered. Her eye's began to close again.
"No Bella! Open them. I swear to you I will kick your ass if you don't open your beautiful brown eyes and look at me. Goddamn it open them. Bella!" He watched her open them again, "Thank you. Thank you Bella. Keep them open. Please keep them open."
"Wow. Your quite a show." Ryan smiled.
"Oh screw you." Edward quickly grabbed Ryan's head and slammed it against his knee. He heard Ryan's nose break as the bone connected with Edwards stone body. As Ryan fell onto the ground, he saw the other three Cullen's standing there behind him. He quickly let out a breath as Alice slowly walked up behind Ryan.
"Hello handsome." Alice said as she kicked his side.
"I don't know about handsome." Emmett said kicking at him.
Jasper also kicked, but this time at his face, "Yeah definitely not handsome now."
"Let's go kid." Emmett said pulling Ryan up, "Alice go with Edward, Jasper and I will take care of this piece of trash."
Edward nodded and ran to Bella. He looked at her starting from her feet up, quickly pulling her to him, "Bella, open your eyes. Look, I'm right here."
Bella slowly opened them to see Edward above her, a weak smile appeared on her face, "Ed..ward..."
"Yes it's me. Your going to be okay, trust me. I'm going to help you." Edward looked up to Alice, "Come on, we got to get her to a hospital."
"No Edward she'll die if we take her, she'll die if we don't do something now."
"Thats why I said lets go!" He yelled.
Alice dropped to her knees in front of him, "You know what I'm talking about, Carlisle will understand. You have to do it."
Emmett and Jasper quickly ran up to the both of them, "He ran away."
Emmett looked at Jasper, "Come on buddy, don't look at it. I don't want to have to take you away."
Jasper smiled, "I'm fine...I think."
"Edward you have to bite her!" Alice yelled.
"No, I don't...We can take her to a doctor. We have super speed, I have super speed I can get her there in time."
"Edward listen to me," She grabbed his face, "I saw the future if you don't bite her, she's not in it."
