Chapter 12
Cauis pov
Three vampires are laying detached around me Jane and Alex is throwing the parts into a fire I rush back to the great hall that doesn't take me long I listen for Bella but don't hear anything aro is throwing a arm away from him "aro where is she" I say he looks at me "Edward took her to her room" I nod and rush away damn Edward why didn't I leave him and keep Bella safe myself the answer is obvious I'm stronger than Edward but he is faster than me he could get Bella out of the way faster I'm at the top of the stairs and Edward is entangled with two newborns I pull one off and detach it's body quickly and the second is on the floor "where is she" I shout at Edward "I told her to run I couldn't protect her and keep these off her" he says she went that way now me and Edward rush to her room nothing I hear a heartbeat come from the bathroom I push the door open Maria "where is she" I demand she is shaken "she hasn't seen her" Edward obviously reading her mind
I rush out and head down the hall and to my room it's dark but my vampire senses picks up the scent of Bella the bathroom I rush to the door but it's broken there's blood on the floor Bella she's hurt I should not of left her "Bella" I say out loud hoping she is just hiding but knowing she's not here "Bella" I say again no no no I shouldn't of left her I should've stayed by her side I turn to Edward who's on the phone Alice he's on the phone to the Psychic I can hear her talking
"I can see her but it's dark she's unconscious" Alice says
"try Alice we need to find her now" Edward nearly shouts down the phone does she know who took her
So Edward repeats my question to her
"no Edward just red eyes a women maybe Victoria" she says
"I'll keep looking if I find anything I'll call dont worry we will find her I'm on my way were on our way" she says and the phone cuts out
Bella's pov
I wake In darkness the same red eyes looking down at me I know it's not caius I try to talk or move but I can't then I disappear into darkness
I wake to noises people arguing then I drift of again
Caius pov
Demetri is tracking Bella and Felix has went with him incase the see anymore newborns waiting for news is in bearable were all in the great Hall and everyone are arguing between themselves how did they get in without us seeing them or knowing that they where here but I can only think of Bella "who is leading them" I say does no one know "we think it's Victoria she wants to kill Bella but she won't until I'm there so I can watch because I killed her mate James to protect Bella" Edward says to us I'm on my throne I've never been this angry I just want to kill I've recently suppressed this part of me for Bella but now it's raging inside me and I want to let it out I stand and walk out the door through the court yard and to the clearing no one tried to stop me she must be far away enough so we can't track her but close enough to hide her I stand staring out at the trees this always brings me peace I can't lose Bella I have already lost a mate Athendora I cannot lose another I was unnaturally cruel in the beginning and after Athendoras death I became unmerciful no one could do wrong to me I would kill them before they would blink I enjoyed it I enjoyed the thrill of it the memory if the wolf's dragging her body away and I could do nothing to stop as they ripped apart my arm
I shake the memory away from myself I turn quickly and see Edward standing he does not speak just looks around him "I'm going to search Alice will be here she's watching for Bella if she finds anything we shall know" he says walks into the trees and I follow him
Bella pov
I drift in and out I hear voices talking it's getting lighter I see walls but not like a house but like a cave I manage to move now but try and stay quiet as possible I move towards the light but flinch and turn to my leg it's bleeding badly I can barely move it I pull myself forward and keep going towards the light I see trees everywhere but just barely I am pulled back into the cave by my bloody leg I scream at the pain I cannot see the person who is pulling me my eyes are full of water and into the darkness I descend again
Caius pov
The sun is up we've been running through the woods for hours and cannot find anything not a trace of Bella she has to be here somewhere she's got to be Edwards phone starts ringing
"Alice what did you see" Edward says
"Bella is alive I seen her she tried to get out into trees but she's hurt badly she's in some sort of cave or something I'm not sure" she says
Edward Nods to himself and hangs up
He turns to me I try to think are there any caves here anywhere there everywhere here but somewhere that you can hide and newborns would've survived and the memory jumps out at me I know where she is I run back to the castle
Bella pov
I'm dragged deeper into the cave and I hear hissing and gurgling noises "she tried to escape" says a males voice and I'm left in the middle of the dark room by myself but I don't think I'm alone I hear movement around me "hello" I say so low that I can barely hear an echo of my voice "hello Bella" says a women's voice I don't recognise but I hear footsteps towards me I try to crawl back but it's to late a foot is crushing on my bleeding leg and I can feel the hot blood pouring out of my wound I scream the pain sends flashes through my eyes my mind is spinning I hear water in my ears "who are you" I scream "we have a mutual friend" she reply's sassy
"Victoria" I say and she laughs at me now
"oh you are so human poor Victoria won't get the pleasure of seeing you die as she is a bit tied up" she laughs again pleased with herself "don't worry I'll enjoy this a lot more your vampire boys will be lost and blaming each other for your death and will eventually kill each other and start a war" she says this is more than just about James but about all vampires a destruction people will find out and people that I love will die in this war with vampires
"who are you" I ask again she is quiet now she punches a hole straight through the cave wall and light bounces in she does it around the room so quick that light bounces around the room she is turned away from me she laughs and turns to face me I'm I can't believe I'm seeing her my heart nearly stops she's here she's actually here
Cauis pov
We are so close to the old mine by the sea it's been over a century since I've been here I'm not sure if it's still standing the guard is with me and Edward is by my side I hear echoes from inside I rush inside I can see plainly the same as it used to be I smell Bella here she is close I can nearly feel her by my side two newborns come out of no where bit are laying on the floor Jane and Alec has them blind mute and in pain Felix and demetri are Ripping them apart we walk further on I hear talking now I hear Bella breathing she's alive I can hear her heart beat terribly fast we enter a room full of light Bella is on the floor I rush to her side "nice of you to join us caius" a voice I recognise I look up in shock I see her face
