Chapter 4: Mother's Worst Fear

Bella's POV

These past two weeks had been nothing but pure hell for me. With each passing day I felt like I was going more and more crazy. My daughter. My precious baby girl. My little nudger. She was gone. She had just simply vanished without a trace. Edward and I had tucked her into bed one night and by morning she was gone. She was gone without a single trace. We went crazy searching for her everywhere but it was as if she had simply vanished into thin air.

The whole family had been searching for her non stop. We'd checked in town. We'd checked Port Angeles. We'd even gone all the way to Seattle to look for her. It was hard to believe that she could've gone further then Seattle but we had searched the whole city and we could not find a single trace of her anywhere. We all searched for her day in an day out non stop. Carlisle even took time off of work to dedicate more time to searching for his granddaughter.

If it had been possible to cry I would've cried an ocean's worth of tears right now. The anxiety, the worry, the fear of what could possibly be happening to my daughter right at this moment terrified me and was driving me crazy. How was this even possible? Did someone kidnap her? How did that person manage to slip past a coven of vampires and pack of wolves to kidnap her unnoticed?

Speaking of the wolves Jacob hadn't stopped once to rest since Nessie disappeared. His fear for his missing imprint outweighed the need for him to take care of himself. Jacob hadn't slept at all since she went missing and he hadn't been eating much either. I was worried about him to. Unlike us he still needed sleep and food to function normally. He was my best friend and I still cared about him and worried about him.

Jacob wasn't the only wolf out searching for her either. Jacob had everyone in his pack taking turns looking for her for hours at a time. Even Sam had volunteered his pack's assistance. Still we had no luck. Even with all of us searching for her we still had no luck. It was enough to make me go crazy. If I had been human I probably would have gone crazy by now. Even now as a vampire I didn't feel too far off from crazy.

This has got to be a mother's worst nightmare. Her child going missing and having no idea where your child was. Before Nessie my worst fear had been losing Edward. No. I had never really known fear until I found my daughter's bed empty that morning. God if someone hurt her I was going to make sure that person regret even being born. Whoever has my daughter right now was going to pay and they were going to pay dearly.

"Bella?"

I looked up to see my dear husband walking toward me.

"We're going to find her. I will find a way to bring her back to us. We will have her back safe with us again,"

"I'm scared Edward. What if something has happened to her? This is all my fault," I cried.

My husband hugged me tightly.

"Bella this is not your fault. Do not blame yourself for this,"

"Yes it is. If I had just heard her or whoever took her then I could've saved her and she wouldn't be in danger and-" I couldn't even finish my sentence anymore. I was crying tearless sobs. Even though Edward was hurting just as much as I was right now he still managed to comfort me at least for the moment.

"If anything it's my fault," he said.

"What?!" I shouted. "Edward it is not your fault how could you even say something like that?"

"Because, whoever took her, I didn't read their minds. I never even heard another mind come close to us. I should've picked up on the intruder's thoughts and then I would've killed him before he would have even had the chance to take Renesmee,"

"Edward you can't blame yourself for what happened,"

"I am her father. I am supposed to protect her and I failed to do just that. Now someone has her and we don't even know what the hell is happening to her right at this very moment!" For Edward to start using phrases like what the hell you knew he was beyond pissed off. He never spoke like that!

"We will find her and whoever has her will pay dearly," I said.

"That is something the whole family agrees on. Even Carlisle and Esme,"

"What?" Carlisle and Esme were the most peaceful nonviolent people I knew. That included the human race and the vampire species. I could not even imagine them doing anything remotely violent.

"They love Renesmee as much as we do. They will do anything to bring her home safely. Even if it means killing her captor. Whoever has Nessie right now signed their death sentence their death sentence the moment they chose her as a target. Trust me they, along with, Rosalie, Alice, Emmett, Jasper, and Jacob want to see her captor killed as soon as Nessie is safe again,"

Before any of us could say another word we heard a humongous crash. I immediately went to investigate and was horrified to see Jacob's car had crashed head first into a tree and overturned.

"Jacob!?" I screamed.

"I'm okay," I heard him mumble.

I pulled the car door off the car easily and found Jacob semi conscious behind the steering wheel. He was bleeding and I was certain that he had several broken bones as well.

"I'm okay," he mumbled again.

"No Jacob you are not okay-"

"It doesn't matter-"

"Jacob get out right now before I drag you out of there. We need to get you to Carlisle right now-"

"No, I have to keep searching for Nessie until I find her,"

I grabbed the stupid, idiotic, mutt and yanked him out of the car. I ignored his protests because I was not about to put up with it anymore. I knew Jacob's lack of food and sleep was bad but now he had officially become a danger to himself and to other humans. I could not allow him to do this to himself anymore.

"Bella let go-"

"No Jacob!"

"But Nessie-"

"I want to find her as much as you do. But how do you think Nessie will feel if you get yourself killed searching for her?! If you're not going to take care of your own health for yourself then at least do it for her!"

Jacob stayed silent.

"Now if you don't mind, not that you have a choice in the matter, I am taking you to Carlisle and you are going to get some much needed rest and medical attention,"

Since today is Halloween I will kindly ask for reviews instead of treats. Lol! Anyway Happy Halloween and I hope you all have a safe and fun holiday!
