AN: Okay so like I said in earlier chapters, we're gonna start moving a lot quicker so that we can reach some action and ultimately the story primarily through Aurora's POV. Anyways, here we go into the next chapter of A Better Forever.

Day Before Aurora's Third Birthday

Bella POV:

The last two years had been pretty quiet, and by that I mean a lack of danger quiet—God knows it hadn't been quiet noise wise around here for a long time—but they'd also been years of discovery.

When Rose's children had just turned three, there were a few days of panic. We'd fed the twins things that would be fed to human babies as they grew because when they were offered blood they didn't want it. So we'd come to think that they'd only need human food for a while. Then one day while the guys were out on one of their hunting weekends, the twins started acting strange.

They didn't want to play. They didn't want to eat. Their faces looked drained of color and all they wanted to do was stay in bed. Naturally we all went into a panic, especially since we didn't have Edward around to read their minds. Rosalie dragged them out of bed and rushed over to the big house in a panic.

We'd gone through everything that could be wrong and wondered how it could happen, all with no answer. I'd become so worried I'd called my dad to come pick up the girls. It wasn't until he arrived that we figured out what was wrong.

When my father walked in and entered the living room to pick up Aurora, the twins sat up slightly and very weakly from where their heads were resting on their mother. They both moaned a moan of pain and brought their little hands to their mouths. We looked in their mouth and saw that their small little teeth had expanded slightly into a pair of fangs each.

"They're thirsty," Esme said what we were all thinking and left the room, darting up to Carlisle's office. She returned with two sippy cups full of blood and handed one to each twin. "It seems they are going to be more like the type of vampire our Mystic Falls friends are."

She was right. It only made sense. Magic made our babies possible, and magic created the other breed of vampire. Why wouldn't they be similar?

After that we made sure that the twins had a healthy diet of blood, and thanks to that we were able to start Aurora on a diet of blood a few weeks when she started craving it a few weeks before she was to turn three.

That day began like most and we thought we were going to be able to end it like most. We gave Aurora her last cup of blood for the night and laid her down in her little toddler bed. She was asleep within minutes.

Edward and I stayed in the living room preparing the final touches for Aurora's birthday party the next morning, and nothing seemed to be any different. That is until we heard the sound of wind blowing through the balcony doors in Aurora's room. "It would seem our daughter has learned to open…" Edwards trailed off and a look of absolute panic crossed his face before he darted up the stairs.

I listened and only heard one heartbeat, Nessie's. A howl of rage erupted from Edward from upstairs and I darted up to Aurora's room. I found nothing but scattered bed clothes—the remnants of a struggle—an open balcony door, a broken snow globe, and a bundle of burned sage. I clutched my daughter's favorite blanket to me and collapsed with to my knees. I heard a wail full of such despair that it frightened me, and then I realized it came from me.

Two Hours Later

Edward POV

We'd called the royal guard and all of our friends. Everyone agreed to keep eyes and ears out in around their homes, but some left to come join us and would be arriving in the next couple of hours.

The second we notified the wolves, Jacob and Sam had the pack out looking for anything they could find to tell us where they could've went. The royal guard has been combing over the nursery and so far all we know is that someone cast a privacy spell while in the room, and somehow was able to cast another spell to cover their tracks.

I only remained at the house instead of helping my brothers comb the woods because of my wife and daughter. Nessie had come to see what was wrong, and through her tears she was able to get her mother downstairs and into a chair. Bella hadn't said a world. She hadn't made a sound since her wail of despair. She only clutched Aurora's baby blanket and staring straight ahead.

I couldn't help her. I couldn't do anything, but pace around the room. I paced until Jacob and Seth came through the door. "What did you find," I demanded and Jacob looked down and held out Aurora's passie. She still used it when she slept and kept it attached to her nightdress.

"We found it out by the highway. Whoever took her had a car waiting. We also found a few drops of blood and a few strands of hair. She was putting up a fight. The blood and hair didn't belong to her, but they don't belong to anyone that I know. "

"Did you happen to bring some of the hair back with you," Amelia asked as she came down the stairs followed by Max.

"I did," Seth answered and handed her the few strands of hair and I could smell the strange scent of the blood that tinged the strands.

"I can cast a duplicating charm. I can multiply the strands to send out to our allies so that they can notify us if they find the person responsible for this."

"Your majesty, that may not be necessary," Emmett said coming through the door looking absolutely pissed off that this is happening. "We found the person that those hairs belong to in the woods next to the airport."

A heartbroken cry escaped Bella's lips and she buried her head in Aurora's blanket. "Is there anything else we can do?" My heart kept sinking by the minute and all I wanted to do was scream to the heavens and turn this world upside down to find my daughter.

"I can try a locator spell, but I can't make any promises. My oracle can't see her, and that means that whoever is behind this has found some way to cover their tracks which takes knowledge of the future."

I could feel the venom filling my mouth and a rage fill me like no other has. When I find whoever did this they will pay.

Aurora's Birthday

Bella POV

I sat there for hours, paralyzed by my worry and sadness. Nessie sat with me. She'd stopped crying hours ago and I know it's because she thought she had to be strong for me. She kept her hand wrapped around mine, and I kept mine around the blanket.

The blanket still smelled like my little girl, and I needed to keep her close to me. This blanket had seen so many days with my little girl. It was the blanket Esme wrapped her in the night she was born, and as if she knew it was her first, it instantly became Aurora's favorite. She'd cart it around everywhere.

My eyes, always focused forward, saw where I knew my little girl would walk, dragging the very blanket I hold with sleep still in her eyes, to eat her breakfast. And then in a flash she was gone. She'd never been there. My heart couldn't stand the thought of her not being here. On the very anniversary of the day that perfect, happy little girl slipped in the world she nowhere to be found by us, and she's probably scared and hungry.

Edward kept pacing the floors and Nessie gave an exasperated groan and went upstairs. A few seconds later she returned with the snow globe that had been broken in the struggles last night, but it was now in perfect condition.

"Renesmee what are you doing," Edward asked her as she sat the globe on the coffee table and sat on the sofa.

"I'm trying to find my sister because sitting around and pacing isn't getting us anywhere and the only way to get you two back into action is to have a place to start looking." She closed her eyes and placed her hands on the snow globe. When she opened her eyes small images flash in the globe. Images of a swamp and Aurora in a shack scared and curled up in a corner.

"She's near a swap," Edward said with a little relief. "Now if we only knew which one."

"She's around New Orleans. I can't pinpoint exactly where. She could be anywhere in Louisiana, but she is there."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go find her," I jumped up from my chair and started gathering our things without letting go of the blanket.

"Bella, we'll go find her, but we have to think about this rationally."

Edward grabbed me by the tops of my arms and forced me to look him in the eye. "Edward she's been gone from us for twelve hours and it feels like years. She's scared, I can feel it. She needs me. She needs us, and we need her. We've got to find her. I don't want her to be scared a moment longer, but she's so scared." I broke out in a fit of dry sobs and by the time I'd composed myself enough to look up from Edward's shoulder, Nessie'd already had our bags packed.

We were going to Louisiana.

Three Days Later

Elijah Mikaelson POV

I'd gotten the call from my friend Carlisle the day before. His youngest granddaughter, the princess Aurora had been kidnapped, and they had no new leads. I waited in the courtyard for my brother to return from one of his many days out in the bayou with the wolves. He then walked through the door carrying a bag from one of the more expensive baby boutiques.

"I'm sorry I'm late brother. I had to pick up a few new things for Hope on my way back."

"Niklaus, there's a problem that one of our friends have encountered. Our friend Carlisle's granddaughter has been kidnapped and the last lead they have is that whoever has taken her is somewhere within the state. I told them we'd keep an eye out."

I could see a familiar anger and disgust rise in my brother and I could practically hear his thoughts. My brother had changed for the better quite a bit since he had his daughter, and I knew he couldn't stand the thought of someone harming a child. "Of course, brother. I'll have Marcel notify the vampires, and I'm sure Jackson will round up the wolves sniff around for anything. Though if you don't mind me saying so, you seem more rattled about this than I am."

"I cannot stand the thought of anyone being so cruel as to hurt a child." I rose from my chair, and straightened my coat jacket. "Now brother if you need me, I'll be asking the witches if they'd heard anything. That girl will be found."

AN: Okay everyone that was chapter nine and I decided that this story will continue to follow a crossover story. I haven't heard anything bad about going in this direction and I promise you that it will be interesting. As a matter of fact I can guarantee that some of the characters from the Vampire Diaries will have some very important parts in Aurora's life. I know that this chapter was short and that we skipped forward quite a bit, but this idea had been nagging me and I couldn't keep it quite any longer. I will have an update for you by the end of the week, and we'll soon get to see who took the princess.
