A/N: I'mm sorry, I screwed up in the last chapter. It was about midafternoon when Bella woke up. I had forgotten the Bella and Jacob had their talk between ten and eleven. Sorry for the confusion. To avoid confusion in this chapter, the first two parts of this scene happen simaultaneously. The third part happens later on in the day. I hope you guys enjoy this one. BTW: You'll all be happy to know that I figured out Roxanne's plan.
ROXANNE
My family and I sat in the living room discussing my plan. I had Jacob go back to La Push to tell Sam exactly what had happened this morning. I asked Jacob to request some help from the wolves. My plan would never work without them. Thankfully, Jacob came back about three hours after I sent him with the entire pack in tow.
"Thank you for coming." I said once Esme had invited them in.
"There's no way in hell I'm going to let my little sister be killed by a sadistic monster." Sam stated with a rather threatening growl.
Once the pack had sat down on the couch and floor with the exception of Jacob. He began pacing around still apologizing profusely for his screw up. Edward was the only one of us who hadn't let him off the hook yet. I think Edward, just like the rest of us, knew that Jacob completely responsible for this. Yet, he couldn't bring himself to forgive Jacob because of what the mistake had cost all of us.
"Jacob, we know how sorry you are." I stated. "But you need to stop feeling sorry for yourself about this. We need your help to get her back. And you won't be any help if you're still beating yourself up about it."
"Sorry." he said wincing slightly. "So what is the plan?"
"Like I said outside, we start by getting him to bring Bella back to us." I stated.
"How the hell are we gonna convince him to do that?" Emmett questioned.
"That's simple. We offer him a deal." I explained.
"A deal?" Alice asked. "What kind of a deal?"
"I can't say just yet. He could be listening. Just trust me and be prepared when I get back." I explained. I turned to Edward and relayed every detail of the plan to him in my head. "An hour should be long enough for me to make sure that Kyle is distracted by me. So I want you to tell them everything while I'm gone. That way we can be sure that he isn't over hearing. If I haven't got him in an hour, I'll call."
Edward nodded that he understood. I turned back to my family and the pack. All of them looked extremely confused but didn't say anything. I had only been family for about two weeks now but they already trusted me with their lives and Bella's. I was grateful for this because I couldn't be positive that this plan would work. For all I knew, we could all die and he'd still have Bella.
I had to stay positive though. I had to belive that this would work because if it didn't, I'd be condemning Bella to torture and eventually death. God only knew what he had done to her by know. We weren't positive how long he had her but we were pretty sure it was over six maybe even seven hours. I shuddered at the timeline.
After a quick goodbye to everyone, I headed out the door in search of Kyle. I hoped he come again when I called.
BELLA
I awoke some time later. I wasn't sure exactly how long I had been out. The door above the crypt, no longer had light streaming through, so I assumed that it was in the middle of the night. I tried to reposition myself to see if I was alone but I had difficulty because of my bonds. I soft chuckle from bahind told me what I wanted to know. Kyle was back.
My heart sped up as I heard his footsteps coming towards me. I had no idea what he was going to do and that thought scared the piss out of me. He knelt down beside me putting his lips to my ear.
"Did you sleep well?" he whispered in a mocking tone. I didn't answer. "I do believe I asked you a question, Bells." he continued. "Did you sleep well?"
Once again, I didn't answer. He grabbed me by the hair and yanked my head back so hard he nearly snapped my neck. I let out a shout of fear mixed with surprise. He just chuckled.
"Now Bells," He stated as if he were talking to a five year old. "You are now my toy and you will be for a long time. So you amy as well get used to it. I am your master now and the sooner you accept that the better off we'll both be."
I don't know how but I managed to hulk back my snot and spit it in his face.
"Stupid bitch!" He yelled and backhanded me. I hit the floor again with a bruising force. He leaned down grabbing another bit of my hair and wiped the snot off his face with it. "I suppose, I'm going to have to teach you a little respect."
He was suddenly on top of me. I tried to squirm away but his body weight was too much for me. He smirked as he leaned down to kiss me. I turned my face away but he grabbed my chin forcing me to meet his lips. I closed my eyes trying to fight the tears that were coming. I felt his hand travel underneath my shirt and up to my bra. He started to massage my breast through the outside of the bra. I whimpered into his lips and he smirked against mine. He kisses eventually began to trail down my jaw and to my collar bone.
"Please, don't!" I begged as the tears came of their own accord.
He simply smirked and ripped my shirt open then unclasped my bra. I cursed myself for wearing the front clasp one today. I cringed as he fondled me. He was nowhere near gentle like Jake. I felt horrible for thinking of Jake when I should've been thinking of Edward. It was just that Jake's gentle touch was the only thing I had to compare this torture to.
At some point, he started sucking on my right nipple while his hand traveled to my pants. He unbuttoned them with one hand. He somehow managed to slip them down to my ankles while still sucking my nipple. I wanted to vomit. He released my nipple so he could untie my feet.
He was just about to undo the knot when he stopped. I looked at him relieved but puuzzled at the same time. He simply chuckled.
"You're in luck." he stated. "I think I hear Roxanne calling for me. She's probably going to offer herself up to save you." He chuckled again. "Of course, now that I have you, I'm not going to give you up. I'll continue when I get back."
He pressed his lips to mine one last time and was gone in a flash. I laid their, half naked and freezing, in utter shock for a moment before I broke down completely.
ROXANNE
I ran through the woods, yelling Kyle's name. I had no idea where he was hiding Bella. The only thing I could do was run through the places I thought he'd be screaming for him. All the while, I worried about what would happen when he turned up. I knew I wasn't very stable around her mentally or emotionally and I had never been good at lying to him. Hopefully, this time I could make myself do it. Bella's life was riding on him believing what I had to say. God only knew what would happen if he didn't show up where I asked him too.
All too soon, I heard a chuckle behind me. I whipped around to see Kyle standing between two trees with a smirk on his face. My breathing hitched just slightly as I remembered that look. It was the look he had before he hurt someone.
"You do realize that you just interrupted my fun." he said angrily. "And you know how much I hate that. So this better be good?"
"It is." I stated shaking. I knew all to well how much he hated being interrupted when he was playing. I saw many humans, who wondered into the warehouse, die because of it. I took a deep unecessary breath. "My family and I would like to meet with you tomorrow night."
"And why would I want to do that?" Kyle asked.
"Because we wish to negotiate Bella's freedom." I answered my voice shaking slightly.
"And what could you possibly have that I would want in exchange for the human?"
"I think you know."
I notice his ears pricked up at my words. I knew he was considering it. I knew him well enough to know that he would love for us to just hand over our powers to him. It would be like a surrender. Knowing we willingly gave in to him would make the victory so much sweeter for him.
"Where and when?" he questioned.
"At twilight tomorrow." I answered. "There's a little clearing not far from our house. You should be able to track our scent to it. We go there to play baseball when it storms."
"And how do I know that this isn't a trap?"
"Bring Bella. We would never try anything while you were in a position to hurt her. Besides, it'll give us the chance to make sure that she isn't hurt. Because any injury she has will be counted in our negotiations." I explained slyly.
"Fine, but if any of you try anything, I will drain her on the spot." he replied.
"Which is exactly why we won't try anything." I stated matter-of-factly.
"Then we'll be there at twilight." he stated.
"So will we."
I stood there and watched as he became one with the trees. I breathed a sigh of relief. He had actual believed everything I said. I couldn't believe it. I thought he would've been smart enough to realize that he was going to walk into a trap. I couldn't let myself get too excited though. I knew there was always the possibility that he was concoting his own plan.
Trying not to think about the negative, I pulled out my cell and dialed Edward's. I took off towards the trees as I waited for him to answer.
"What's up Roxy?" he asked the minute he picked up.
"We're you able to explain everything?" I asked wanting to make sure everyone was ready.
"Yes." he answered.
"Good. Start getting things set up because he took the bait. I'll be home in a few minutes."
"Okay. Do you know if he's hurt her?"
"I'm sorry Edward, I really don't know." I stated.
"Okay," I could hear the sadness in his voice. "I'll see you when you get back then."
Okay." I sighed and flipped the phone shut.
I hated lying but he didn't need the thoughts of what Kyle was doing distracting him. I prayed that my warning would keep Kyle from hurting her too much tonight.
A/N: What do you guys think? I know Kyle sounds a bit stupid right now. Bear in mind that he is power hungry. Which means when he hears the possiblility of more power, everything else fades from his brain. Plus, he really doesn't think the Cullens would try anything while Bella's life is in danger. He thinks right, of course. However, he has no idea how far the wolves would go to destroy a vampire.
