Chapter 2

Disclaimer Stephanie Meyer owns everything but the plot.

Bella POV

I could feel someone stroking my hair, their hands were soft and warm. No one has done this to me except jake, growing up my mother Rene wasn't one for affection or cooking come to think of it she wasn't much of a parent anyway. She would always be going out leaving me with the neighbors day or night, that's actually how I became best friends with Jacob he used to live right next door. We would spend every single day together. His mom Sarah was a wonderful women the exact opposite of Rene. She would make us lunch, most days id eat dinner with her too. I would sleep over almost every weekend or when Rene went on her weekend benders forgetting she actually had a daughter at home. She was a mother of three she had two twin girls Rachael and Rebecca, they were a few years older then me. Then there was Jacob the prized son, he was actually younger than me but I didn't mind I would rather spend my time playing video games with him then going boy hunting with them two. I always felt like I was part of the family when I was with them especially after the time Rene decided to leave for a week long trip with her new boyfriend Phill without giving anyone a heads up. Sarah and Billy ( Jacobs dad) had a hard time believing any mother would actually do that to their child so they called the only other person I could think of, my father Charlie. He decided to leave his job in Colorado and moved down here to forks. After that I never had to live with Rene again, and Jacob's dad became great friends with mine. We became inseparable, we did everything together he was my best friend, my protector, my first kiss. In high school we tried dating but soon realized we couldn't handle being that type of intimate we would always be family though. When I decided to move to Seattle for college we both cried and clung to one another, and yes I know this seems dramatic but he was everything to me. I've never spent more than a day away from him, and now I was three and a half hours away plus I had to study for college and he decided to open up his own auto body shop. We didn't drift apart it was just harder to balance seeing one another with both our schedules being so hectic. We did make a pact to call each other at least twice a week either skyping or over the phone. I haven't been able to talk to him for the past two weeks because I was cramming for finals, I really miss him right about now. I was pulled out of my though of jake by hearing a soft gentle humming, squinting and trying to open my eyes I could see the outline of someone standing beside me. I tried sitting up and clearing my throat but the pain in my side from where James had kicked me made me wince.

"Bella, be careful your ribs are bruised here let me help you." Alice said grabbing my hand and helping me sit up. " How are you feeling you had me so worried!" she said softly looking concerned. I tried giving her a small smile as I readjusted myself into the pillows behind my back.

"I'm fine alice really just a little sore….Where are we right now?" I said looking around the room the walls were a soft periwinkle color, long white lush curtains were adoring either side of the balcony windows. I ran my hands over the plush soft pink comforter that was laying on top of me, wow this feels so soft even softer then the teddy bear Jacob had gotten me as a goodbye present it was a russet brown wolf he called him jake jr said if I ever miss him just squeeze and he'll feel it no matter how far away he was. I needed to call him I needed to call my dad let them know what happened to me!

"Alice where's the phone I need to call my dad and let him know what's happen to me!" throwing the blankets off I moved to the side of the bed preparing myself for the cold marble floor underneath me but it never came….was the floor heated!? WTF seriously where am I? I looked at Alice and she was now sitting on the edge of the bed hands wringing together biting her bottom lip.

" Uh...well you see I cant really let you use the phone at this exact moment not till after" she said looking around never meeting my gaze. After what? What is she talking about? I walked over to her putting my arms on either side of her shoulders.

"Alice I just saved you from being fucking trafficked what do you mean till after, after what!? I need to talk to my dad I need to call jake, they're probably looking through every alley in Seattle right now. They probably think I'm dead!" I said running my hands through my hair squeezing at the roots.

" And that's the way it's going to be till I have everything settled and taken care of Isabella." Said a deep and rich masculine voice from behind me. I froze, in my panic of trying to find the phone I didn't hear the door opening or the footsteps behind me. I slowly turned around and was met with a mans hard chest he wore a silk black buttoned down shirt it clung to every inch from his shoulders to his pecks and you could almost see the dip where his shirt was tucked into black slacks he wore a black leather belt with some crest on the buckle almost like a lion? He had shiny black loafers and as I made my way back up his body I could smell his cologne it hit me not like a ton of bricks but a sweat melody adoring my nose. I could smell that all day and not get tired of it. I was snapped out of my ogling by a deep throat being cleared. Being caught I looked straight at his face and my what a face it was his jawline was sharp and his beautiful green eyes pierced into me he had untamed bronze colored hair and his mouth was pulled into a smirk. He had caught me.

" First off what do you mean till everything is taken care of and second my name is Bella" I said it came out a little more harshly than I expected but who cares this hot asshole was trying to keep me captive here fuck no I just escaped one maniac I'm not being kept by another one no matter how good he looks. I moved to sidestep him and make my way to the door when he stepped in front of me still smirking down at me.

" I'm sorry but I cant let you do that Isabella, just to give you a piece of mind I'm not here to hurt you I'm here because you helped me and I'm trying to thank you." I looked up at him as if he had grown two heads, helped him? How? With what?

"I think you have the wrong person I've never met you before so therefor I couldn't of helped you so if you would please move the fuck out of my way I need to leave." I said trying to push past him, he was still and hard as stone I couldn't push my way past him if I moved left so would he if I moved right he would too. Alright now I'm pissed off he needs to move out of my way now! "Look please just move out of my way before I hurt you." I said glaring up at him he laughed. No seriously he actually laughed now I'm fucking pissed, I made it seem like I was going to go right but faked and went left kicking him as hard as I could in the back of his legs they gave way as I ran to the double doors standing in front of me I heard him yell as he got back up coming after me swinging the door open I ran through the hallway flying past door after door till I came to a staircase. I could hear him coming after me calling my name but there was no way in hell I was going back I felt bad for leaving alice but I couldn't just stay there. I made it through the staircase and was heading through what seemed to be the common area when I saw a slender but yet build man he looked like the man from upstairs black adorning everything but he had long blonde hair and blue wide eyes as he watching me come to a screeching stop and turn right. Oh hell no I'm not being taken by two men! I could feel both men chasing after me as I saw a door opening right in front of me I was running too fast to stop myself before knocking into the monster of a man who came out of said door holding a plate of sandwiches in one hand and two bags of chips in the other we both looked at each other wide eyed as I came burrowing into his hard chest I fell back landing hard on my ass as he stood there in front of me not fazed at all. I could hear footsteps from behind me I tried to stand up but it was too late they had caught up to me.

"Woah sorry there I wasn't expecting someone to come running at me, if you were hungry I would of shared with you." The monster of a man said chuckling he switched the plate of sandwiches to the other hand and held his big paw out to help me up. I just stared at him someone grabbed me by my arm and yanked me to my feet.

"Are you fucking crazy what the fuck was that you psycho!? Who just kicks someone's legs from behind and bolts out the door!" the bronze god yells at me. I glared up at him trying to yank my arm away from his grasp.

" She kicked you down!? BAHAHAHA aww poor eddy did she huwrt you" said sandwich man, I finally had time to look at him seems like black is the new color for crazy hostage taking men! Only he was twice the size of both these men and had a mop of curly hair on his head with hazel brown eyes his smile was big and you could see dimples on both sides of his cheeks he was handsome in a teddy bear way.

"Watch your mouth Emmett." He said glaring at who I assume is no longer sandwich man but Emmett. "She surprised me I didn't think she would go all crazy and try to run from me!" he had now let go of my arm and turn his glare to me. "You're awfully rude for someone who was just saved you know that right Isabella." I'm fuming at this point I've told him that's not my name and I think he's realized by now I hate when he does that.

" I've told you already my name is Bella and if you don't want to be dropped again I suggest you start using it eddy." I said in a sickly sweet voice, Emmett burst out laughing almost dropping all his food on the ground.

"BAHHAHA she called you eddy!" Emmett said doubling over " oh god I wish I had a camera the look on your face is priceless! Way to go bella! Hey maybe we should be taking orders from her I like the little bit of eh spice she gives eh." He said mimicking a horrible Italian accent while he pinched his fingers together.

"Emmett you realize you're as obnoxious as they come don't cha right?" said the blonde man I was surprised by the southern accent that came out of his mouth it was the first time he's spoken since this happened.

"Aww come on jasper you know that was funny I make a great italiano man." Emmett said keeping with the fake accent. I gave a small chuckle and the attention was back on me, I cleared my throat and looked away.

"Okay I apologize then I will call you bella but my name is not eddy its Edward and I think we got off on the wrong foot. Please accept my apology lets start over. My name is Edward Cullen it's a pleaser to meet you bella." Edward said as he reached out his hand I looked at it weary but still took it. He raised it up to his face and put a delicate kiss on my skin his lips were soft but firm I could feel the blush rising to my cheeks.

" I'm sorry for the confusion but the thing is you did help me you see alice is my sister the night you were both taken alice had snook past her guards that night and decided it would be a good idea to go out alone. I owe you everything she's the only family I have left and you saved her, I'm in your debt." He said looking directly into my eyes, he still was holding my hand and I could feel the butterflies making they're nest in my stomach.

"Well if you're in my debt then you should allow me to go back to my family." I said trying to sound tough and not let this charming mysterious man realize what he's doing to me. "I have a family too and they're probably worried sick, Jacob is out on the streets searching for me I need him to know I'm safe!" I said pleadingly he looked at me with one eyebrow raised.

"I thought your fathers name was Charlie?" Edward said brows furrowed together. Wait I never said what my dads name was? How would he know? Who is this man?

"How do you know my fathers name?" I said removing my hand from his. "I never gave you any names."

Edward paused and looked at me.

"Wait you don't know who he is?" Emmett said looking like I was speaking a different language.

"Emmett don't." jasper said with a warning look. Edward was still looking down at me.

"Seriously she doesn't read magazines he's like Seattle's riches bachelor since 2016 and obviously the mafia's kin.." Emmett was cut of by Edward.

"Who's Jacob Isabella?" Edward said harshly, It sent a small shiver down my spine as I backed up and hit Emmett's chest. "You don't have any other siblings I've checked your records." Edward said taking a step forward. How can I be scared and turned on at the same time by this man.

"Um Jacob is my uh wait what do you mean you've checked my records!" I said standing straight up. "Who the fuck do you think you are?" I said stepping forward so I was face to face with him. Jasper and Emmett both started to move backwards feeling the tension in the room. "Look you could be the number one bachelor in the world but that doesn't mean you get to snoop through my life and interrogate me on anything Eddy," I said poking him in his chest. "Now I want a phone and I want to leave this place now and you're not going to stop me!" he looked me in my eyes and grinned again not a playful but a 'you're about to eat your own words' grin.

"Oh really want to bet on that?" he said his grin turning into a full smirk now. I wanted to slap that smirk right off his face I was fuming now.

"Uh why don't both yawl just calm down and we can just talk about this like normal people." Jasper said holding his hands up.

"Jaspers right," said Alice finally coming down and interrupting the staring contest I had with her brother. "Look Bella I'm sorry for all of this but Edward is right you cant tell anyone you're here just yet please just lets get you something to drink and eat and we'll sit down like civilized adults and talk about it okay?" she said pleadingly giving me puppy dog eyes I could feel myself giving in already and with a sigh and one more glare at Edward I nodded.

"Fine but make him stay as far away from me as possible." I said spitting the ending at Edward that smug asshole.

"Oh love we both know you don't want or mean that." Edward said in a sarcastic tone winking at me.

"Edward stop you know for being the king you have a lot of growing up to do!" alice said pointing at him.

"Sweat heart you do realize now is not the time for that right?" Jasper said with a soft tone grabbing her shoulder and pulling her back. Hm I could see them as a couple I wonder if they are? Edward glared at jaspers hand on his little sister and then back at jasper who now had let go of alice as if she was on fire. Well that solves that controlling ass for the win again. Alice had now glared at Edward who still hadn't lifted his gaze from jasper.

"Come on then let's go into the kitchen and get you something to eat Bella." Alice said grabbing my hand and sending one more hateful glare Edwards way. She shoved past Edward and that seemed to break him out of his staring contest. He looked as if he wanted to say something but didn't. He might be the king but I guess he cant rule over everyone.
