Chapter 36: Surviving

Dimitri was lying on a sofa, next to the door of the room where Bella was. If anyone saw him, they would think he was calm, just lying there, resting. But he was really nervous. He knew that Bella had almost no time left, and he had to get her out of there at any cost. He couldn't make any mistakes, otherwise, it would be the end of him and if he was dead, he couldn't help her.

At that moment Eleonora entered the room. She looked at Dimitri and frowned.

— What are you doing here? — Eleonora looked at Dmitri, who was smiling at her with a rather macabre smile.

— I was waiting for you. With all the trouble you took to make that brat pay, I didn't want to go in without you to see her body.

Eleonora smiled openly. She was really looking forward to seeing that little rat's body, which had barely moved for days, even when she applied the whip.

— Well, let's go inside. I'm looking forward to it.

Eleonora walked to the door, unlocked it and went inside. A pungent smell came from the room. Eleonora covered her mouth and nose with her hand and grimaced with pure disgust.

— Damn, how this place stinks. Dimitri, come closer and see if she' s breathing.

Dimitri smiled inwardly. He was already counting on Eleonora not wanting to go near her thinking she was dead. She had become very "miss", she didn't like to get her hands dirty.

He approached her slowly and gave thanks that Bella was doing exactly what he told her to do. She didn't move at all. Her breathing was barely noticeable, because of how weak she was. That played into her favour.

— She's dead. Congratulations Irina — Dimitri turned to look at Eleonora, trying to annoy her with the name.

— You'll never learn to call me by my name, right? — Eleonora had scowled, despite her euphoric mood. The rat no longer existed to bother her. — Well, get rid of the rat. See if you can learn to call me Eleonora.

And saying that she left the room. Dimitri breathed a small sigh of relief. The hardest part was done. Now he'd get her out of here, straight to a hospital, otherwise, Bella wouldn't survive.

Anthony walked silently by Mark, who only looked at him and strangely cared for him, without saying anything. They were at school. He had already lost a lot of time while in the hospital, even though he had returned to class the day after he left. He sighed and stopped as he did every day in front of the music room, hoping to see the ghost of Bella, his Bella. He still hoped to see her arranging her books, that she would smile at him and run to hug him. He sighed in discouragement because that would never happen.

— Do you need anything, Anthony? — sked Angela Weber behind him, getting him to react. Anthony denied and entered the teacher's room without saying a word. Angela watched as Paul, the new music teacher, closed the door of the room and at that moment she understood the little boy, for she too had lost a friend. She closed the door of her classroom and began with sadness and melancholy:

— Good morning, class, this day...

The doors of Med Medical in Los Angeles burst open.

— Help! — shouted Dimitri, and as soon as they saw him with a bloody Bella in his hands, they ran to help him. They put her on a stretcher and began to work. He started to follow the stretcher, but a nurse stopped him.

— I'm sorry Mr…

— Levinson — replied Dimitri. He wasn't going to give her his real name. Not in case Eleonora found out that she survived and didn't want him to be connected to it.

The nurse nodded and said:

— Mr. Levinson, I'm sorry, but you have to wait here and if you can, notify your girlfriend's family — Dimitri was going to deny that Bella was his girlfriend, but he knew that if he did, he would lose all right to know about Bella's health, so he just nodded.

He went to the back of the room and took his phone. While Bella had been kidnapped, he had been following the trail of her friends, so when it was necessary to communicate with them. He called the number he had saved and waited.

— Jones — Haley Jones' voice was heard over the phone. Dimitri knew she was in Los Angeles, looking for Bella, while her sister was in London waiting for news. — Bella is at Med Medical. I suggest you come and pick her up. She's in serious condition. But listen carefully. You must get her out of the country as quickly as possible and, above all, without anyone knowing. Her life and her baby's life depend on you being able to do what I'm telling you.

— Who is…? — Dimitri had already cut the call off before Haley could finish asking the question. He took refuge in the corner of the waiting room, making himself almost invisible, trying to protect Bella from the shadows.

Haley stared at her phone. She had received the strangest call of her life, but also the most disturbing. The phone was communicating in her hand as she tried to digest what the man had said. Well, the first thing she had to do was to quickly get in the car and head to the hospital.

She quickly got in the car and drove off, straight to Med Medical. On the way she thought of calling her sister, who had stayed in London, as she could not leave her child alone. Although she thought better of it and hoped that what the man had told her about Bella's whereabouts was true.

She had been looking for her for weeks. The police had even been alerted, filing a missing person's report. Nikki was pulling her hair out, as she said she wished she could be here, to pick up all the stones in this blessed place. She talked to Alice Cullen, who told her what had happened, and from that day on no one knew where she was.

Haley got to the hospital and left the car parked anyway. She didn't care if she got a ticket, like if the car got towed. She ran into the emergency room, straight to the counter. There she asked about Isabella Swan, but they didn't know who she was talking about, so she started giving a detailed description of what her "sister" looked like.

— Excuse me, but there's a person who looks like you're describing. Not long ago she came in — a man in a white coat had spoken to her from behind. — What did you say this person's name was?

— Isabella Swan — Haley said quickly. God, she had found her.

— Do you know where Miss Swan has been lately?

The doctor, since she assumed that's what it was, was looking at her strangely. It sent a chill down her spine from head to toe.

— Bella's been missing for several weeks. We filed a report over three weeks ago, but a while ago a man called me saying she was here.

Haley's hands were sweating. She knew something very bad had happened. Why else would they ask that kind of questions? She was going to ask how Bella was, but the doctor interrupted her.

— What man was it that called you? — That man's inquisitive look was making her hysterical.

— I don't know who that man was! I just came as fast as I could as soon as I heard that she might be here. Can you tell me at once how Bella is doing? Why all the questions? — Haley started screaming. She didn't like this situation at all.

The doctor ran his hand over his face. He looked like he was sick.

— Miss Swan shows a picture of repeated torture over the past few weeks. In addition to starvation and profound dehydration. She's in a very serious condition. We've cured and stabilized her, but we don't know if the baby she's expecting will survive.

Haley was in shock. What had they done to her sister? A baby? She couldn't think.

— I want to see her — she demanded quickly. — I have to see that it's her, that she's alive.

The doctor looked at her, and he agreed. He accompanied her to the room where the patient was and saw the girl enter the room. In all his years of practicing medicine, he had never had to face what he was facing today. He felt sick. To know that there was someone out there who could do what they had done to that young woman.

Haley was looking at Bella, who was lying in her hospital bed. She was hooked up to a bunch of machines, which she didn't even know what they were for. Bella was emaciated. Very thin and pale. God, what had they done to her? Who had done it to her?

As she looked at her, tears were streaming down her face. Suddenly she remembered the call she had received. Whoever had called her knew who had done this to Bella, but from what he told her, Bella was not safe. She had to get her home. There they could take care of her and save her. She picked up the phone and called her sister.

— Nikki, listen to me carefully and don't interrupt. I found Bella. She's really sick. I also got some kind of message telling me I had to get her out of the country, or she'd die. And all this without anyone knowing. Do you understand me? — Haley was talking quite fast.

— I understood you perfectly. Don't worry, I'll talk to dad and we'll bring her home.

- 2 months later -

— Have there been no changes yet, Ben? — Nikki asked while looking at her friend on the hospital bed. Ben turned and sighed, denying again.

— It's as if she doesn't want to wake up, the medicines have been taken away, Nicolle, and it's been two months now. The wounds on her back have healed well and the baby is healthy.

Nikki walked up to her friend and stroked her hair. She kissed her forehead, as she had done since she was allowed to see her. It had been hard almost losing her, if it hadn't been for that mysterious man, her friend would be dead now. Two months ago the doctors had given up hope but, for some reason, Bella hadn't given up. She had managed to survive an operation and her baby, her little girl, had clung to her, like her mother to life. It had been an odyssey moving her from Los Angeles to London, and all this "incognito", but after paying thousands of dollars for the best care, they had made it.

— You have to live, baby you have to, you're going to be a mother Bella.

Nikki backed up when Bella exhaled and started coughing like she was drowning. Ben set off the alarms and within two seconds the room was full of doctors trying to control her.

— Miss Swan, can you hear me? — said Ben touching her and pointing a lamp at her eyes.

Bella closed her eyes tightly and the memories seized her. Her breathing began to be altered. The heart meters began to sound louder, making her dizzy. She had to get up, she had to run away from there to protect Anthony and her baby. They were in danger with that woman around. But her body was so heavy, and she felt so tired to fight the world.

— Anthony! Anthony! — said Bella in a raspy voice. Nikki stepped forward to a nurse who was blocking her view of Bella and holding her hand she said:

— Anthony's fine, honey. Anthony's fine.

Bella opened her eyes in fear and thousands of tears ran down her cheeks. She looked around and realized that she was not in that dimly lit room.

— Where am I? — asked Bella looking around nervously.

— In London — said Nikki, not knowing what to do. She hadn't seen Bella this broken since Alec died, but Nikki clung to the one thing she knew at that moment that would give her friend enough strength.`— You need to calm down. For the baby, you have to be strong.

— The baby? — asked an anxious Bella. Nikki laughed nervously and Ben nodded. It was working.

— Yes, honey. You're going to be a mother to a beautiful girl.

Bella sighed and put her hands on her belly, closing her eyes as she felt it bulging. It was a beautiful little lump, but it was her daughter. She was going to be a mother. She was going to be a mother to a little girl.

— Can I know what the fuck you want now? — asked James, entering Eleonora's apartment, followed by Felix. Eleonora extended her lips in a triumphant smile and told him with all the disdain she was capable of pulling out from her lips:

— I need you to sign this — she said, patting the folder on the table. James snorted and took the folder in his hands and read it. He smiled and asked:

— What do you want my share of the company for?

— Don't play games with me, you bloody old man — snarled Eleonora angrily. James watched her from his height and said without stopping smiling:

— Are you trying to threaten me?

He raised an eyebrow at her, but Eleonora smiled again and clapped the old man's chest, saying:

— At the Academy where your grandson goes, they let you in easily, and a larger amount of poison than he ingested last time will definitely kill him — James tensed up and Eleonora continued. — Anyway, Felix is very good at kidnapping people…

James frowned and said:

— Why are you doing this? Weren't we partners?

— Because you're in my way — declared Eleonora walking towards the table and hitting it again. — I'll leave you and the brat alone; you just have to sign.

James smiled internally. He already imagined that Eleonora would try something like this, and with what she just told him, he confirmed that she was the one who tried to poison his grandson.

He had it all planned in case this happened. It was all set up for a farce. Eleonora would think she would have the company in her possession, but actually, everything is already Anthony's. It had taken him many hours with his lawyer to leave everything, and above all, that Eleonora could not realize it so that even if for a while Eleonora controlled the company, she would not really have it in her possession.

At the right time, this would go against her.

He took his pen and signed. He had an unmistakable look of boredom. He had to make Eleonora think this wasn't what he wanted.

— You're crazy — he began to say and then, holding her chin tightly, he whispered — Crazy and blind.

Eleonora didn't understand James and he turned around without explanation.

— What kind of warning is that? — she asked, looking at the old man walking away. James didn't smile because he had the idiot, he was about to take care of, in front of him. Still, he replied:

— There's no warning to make you run, Eleonora. Why should I bother to warn you? I don't give warnings, I attack head-on.

With that he left the apartment, thinking he had to get his grandson out of the way of that lunatic. If he could be from the country, all the better.

Dimitri didn't take Bella at the same hospital the Cullen's were, so they don't know -for the moment- what happened to her. But at least we know that she's fine now. What do you think is gonna happen with Anthony?
