A/N: I know that Edward told Bella that nobody else knew about the cabin. However, there is in fact one other person that knows about it. He actually tried to convince a certain someone to go with him a couple of times. He just doesn't think that she paid much attention to it.

ALICE

Billy, who knew that Bella was be the most important topic to Jacob once we got in the room, waited outside for us to finish that part of it. Then he'd come in and see his son. I was very grateful to him for giving us that first few minutes together.

Rose, Em, Jazz, and I walked in the room with a certain trepidition. We weren't sure about what we would see when we got in. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. He looked ten times better than he did when I found him on the lawn. Unfortunately, he still looked worse for the wear.

He had a split lip and a black eye. His nose was swelled and he had several bandage covered cuts on his face. His arm was in a splint and the parts that weren't covered in guaze were covered were covered in dark, deep bruises. His fae was full of nothing but pain and worry. Dr. Erikson said the drugs would make him kind of odd but he looked one hundred sober at the moment.

"Alice, I'm so sorry!" He exploded the minute we stepped into the room. "I don't know what happened. I heard voices so I went out there. I tried to defend her but one minute I was next to her the next I was on the ground being pummelled. I don't know what happened, he just snapped."

"Jacob, stop!" I held my hand up preventing his flow of guilt. "I know you tried. You couldn't help what happened. You had no idea that he was going to snap the way he did."

"So is Bella alright? Where's she?" He asked once he was sure that I wasn't going to yell at him.

"I don't know." I replied looking guiltily at the floor. Jasper put a comforting hand on my shoulder.

"What do you mean, you don't know?" Jacob asked getting a little worked up.

"I don't know if she's alright or even where she is." I stated.

"No, don't tell me that." Jacob stated.

I could tell from the way that he was acting that he had finally confessed his true feelings to Bella. And she reciprocated them.

"I'm sorry, Jacob." I said more guiltily still. "I tried to get over there as fast as I could but by the time I did, all I found was you unconcious on the lawn. And Bella was gone. I tried to call her cell but I didn't get an answer. I'm so sorry."

"No, Alice." Jacob stated. "It's not your fault. I just I'm so worried and I don't know what to do. Does Charlie know?"

"I understand." I replied. "And yes, Charlie knows. Ed called him with the basics and I filled him in on the rest when he came home. He's already calling all of his friend to be on the look out for him and start questioning people that we think have something to do with it."

"So what are we gonna do?" he pressed. "Just let them handle it?"

"Hell no!" I said. "I mean I love Charlie and all but the whole having to go by the book thing will take forever. God only knows what he could do to her by the time they figure it out. Besides, I may not know where he took her but Edward's my stepbrother, after all, and I know more about him than even he thinks I do. I just need a little time to think. In the meantime, Jake, I need to know everything that you remember about what happened when Edward got there."

"Well, I can't remember too many details." he answered. "When I first stepped out there, I noticed James get out of the car. It looked as though he was there for back up."

"Are you sure that it was James?"

"Positive. Edward was trying to strangle Bella. When I tried to stop him, he hit me and Bella begged him to leave me alone. I couldn't remember much of the rest of the conversation but I promised her that I protect her and when I reminded her of that, Eward just snapped. He threw me on the ground and started to hit me over and over. I remember hearing Bella begging for him to stop. He just kept pushing her away from him. James just stood there at first but at some point I heard Bella yelling for him to let her go. Then everything faded to black. And I can't remember anything that happened between then and twenty minutes ago."

"Okay, so we're pretty sure that they did take her but the question is where?" I stated once Jacob had finished the story.

We were all silent for a long time. We were all racking our brains of all the possibilities of where they could've taken Bella.

"What about Ed's apartment?" Rosalie suggested after a minute.

"No. I don't think so." I answered. "Too many people know about it. He'd know that be one of the first places that we would look. He'd want to go somewhere only he and James would know about. I just wish I had a better idea of where that was."

"Maybe there might be someone else who would be able to give us a better idea?" Emmett suggested. "Maybe we could go and talk to them?"

We fell silent, once again, racking our brains to try to come up with something. There were two people that came to my mind but neither would be willing to help us. Even in this life or death situation.

"There's really only two people I can think of at the moment." I stated. "And I don't think that either of them will be willing to tell us what we need to hear."

"Well, who are there?" Jazz asked placing his hand on my shoulder.

"Victoria and Jessica." I said.

"Those two, that's not going to be a problem at all." Rose stated. "Emmett and I will talk to Victoria. I do, after all, have a natural talent for getting information out of people who are unwilling to give it." She put on a cocky little smile as she said this.

I had indeed forgotten that she had the ability to do just that. She also had a knack for getting people to see her when they didn't want to. So the problem with Victoria was taken care of but that still left the Jessica issue. She hated Bella and I doubted she would be willing to give me information that could potentially help Bella.

"Okay, that's taken care of but what about Jessica. There's absolutely no way she's going to tell us anything that would help Bella. She hates her. There's no way." I started to panic again.

"Alice, calm down." Rose said. "You three where once like sisters and, putting all dislike of each other aside, that has to still mean something to her. You just have to remind her of that. She has to know that Bella's life is at stake. And I know that even with the new hate, she's not going to want to see Bella dead. It doesn't run that deep for her. The feelings of sisterlyness are still there and she just needs someone to remind her of the good old days, and once you've done that, she'll tell you what she knows."

"Are you sure?" I asked not too sure myself.

"There's only one way to find out." Rose smiled. "You go see Jessica and talk to her about it. While Emmett and I go to Victoria. Then will meet up at Jasper's apartment, in two hours and talk about what we've found out, then come up with a plan."

"Right." I said still unsure about the whole talking to Jessica thing. I really didn't think that she would ever open up to us again.

"Okay but what am I supposed to do?" Jacob asked.

I looked at him glad to have something else to think about other than talking to my ex best friend.

"You are going to stay here over night so Dr. Erikson can make sure that everything is okay." I answered.

"Hell no." he said. "I'm not going to lay here while she could be in danger! I want to help find her!"

"I know, but think about Jacob." I argued. "What if you left tonight and there was something wrong, then we went out looking for her and you got hurt because of what was wrong? How is that going to help Bella?"

"I know but I have to do something!" he argued.

"Look, just stay here and let the doctor do his job." I stated. "We won't do anything excpet plan until you get released tomorrow. Until we're sure that you're alright. We can't afford to have something happen ton you too."

"Fine." He replied but crossed his arms over his chest like it was against his better judgement.

"Well, let's go." I said leading the others out of the room. As we passed by Billy, I stopped, "He's going to try and convince you to let him leave so he can go after Edward. Don't let him until the doctor clears him."

"Of course not." Billy replied.

With that the four of us headed out the door to dig up some dirt on how to save our best friend.

BELLA

I sat in the pitch black room trying no to think about what was going to happen to me. Instead, I started to focus on escaping. I was grateful that I gotten a little chilly in my room with Jacob earlier. He gave me his oversized jacket, which I was still wearing when James taped my arms together. All I had to do was try to wriggle out of it.

It took awhile but I finally managed to get one hand free. After that it was pretty easy to pull my other hand out of the jacket. After that it was all a matter of finding the beginning of the teeth around my midsection. I had to do it slowly so as not to make too much noise but I was finally able to climb out of the chair.

In the pitch black room, I had to crawl to find a wall. When I did, I climbed into a standing up position and felt along the wall until I reached a door handle. Now, I wasn't stupid enough to try to get out without knowing what was going on out there. So I leaned closer to the door and listened for a minute. I heard the sounds of mumbled talking, bags opening, and bottles being opened.

It was definitely not a good idea to go out there at the moment. So I felt my wall to the side of the door with the hinges on them and slid down to the floor on that side of the door. I was either going to wait until one of them came in for me or until they were asleep.

I sat there for an interminable amount of time, ocassionally leaning over and checking for the sounds. Their talking eventually turned into drunken slurs and I kept waiting for them to come in and try to play with me. I was shocked when I never did.

I waited until I heard nothing but snores for three consecutive times before I tried to leave. I stood slowly, trembling a little from fear. I reached for the doorknob, slowly, turning it and praying that it didn't make a sound. It didn't so I proceeded to push the door open. I thought it was going to creak but it didn't, either. Maybe, luck was on my side tonight. I opened it just enough for myself to slip through it, then I closed it as quietly as I could.

I crept up the hallway and into the living part of the cabin. The floor was littered with beer bottles and tons of garbag from the food that they had eaten. James was fast asleep on the couch while Edward was sleeping on the chair. I crept slowly up through the room praying the floor didn't creek. And still I thought the luck was on my side.

When I was five feet from the door, it happened. I stepped on a rotted floor board, my foot fell through and got stuck. Thankfully, the two were too passed out drunk to have heard the breaking floor board. I yanked a couple of times but it wouldn't budge. I ended up having to lean on the table beside me.

There were some books and beer bottles laying on it. I carefully, leaned over it to try to pull my foot out as quietly as I could. It took a few minutes but I managed to pull myself free of it. However, luck abandoned me at this point.

I pulled out too hard and over balanced on my other foot. The next few seconds went by in slow motion. I knocked the bottles and books off of the table. The books made a loud resounding thud and the bottles crashed into tiny pieces. I fell sideways into the table and bounced off falling onto the floor. I let out an involuntary scream as the pieces of glass cut and stabbed into my back and my head hit the floor last with a dull and painful thud.

When it was all over, I found myself staring into the livid faces of the still half drunk Edward and James.

A/N: I hope you guys liked this chapter. I know that the jacket thing was a little weird but I did try it and it does work. Anyway, I was really excited about this one. I hope you like it too.
