A/N: Hello again friends! *Waves enthusiastically*

So we've got four different POV going on in this chapter. I felt like this chapter needed to be told from multiple people (They all kept bugging me until I let them speak up!). Do we like this?

Thanks to everyone who has read, reviewed, followed, and/or fav'ed Surviving!

Surviving is mine, Twilight is not.

APOV

The police arrived about an hour ago and everything feels like a blur. I remember Jasper grabbing my hand and pulling me downstairs. I remember Carlisle carrying a sobbing Esme to the couch. I remember the cops saying something about a dent in Bella's door; caused by what they can only assume was someone being thrown into it…hard.

There's so much commotion going on that I'm finding it difficult to even think. The dining room has been turned into 'headquarters'. The cops have put out an Amber Alert, put a tap on the home phone, and started calling for volunteers to come help search the woods around the house.

I feel like the walls are slowly closing in on me. I stand up from the couch and make my way to the backyard, feeling Jasper's eyes on me the whole way. Fresh air…that's what I need.

I step through the door and stare at the pool. Just two days ago they were in there. Happy…in love…safe. We watched as they jumped in and swam around for a little. When they started kissing we left to give them some privacy. If I would have known leaving would cause this…

"Please let them be okay." I cry, sinking to the ground. "Please…please…please…" I mumble over and over.

"Alice, come inside darlin'" Jasper wraps his coat around my shoulders and pulls me to my feet. "Please sweetheart, it's freezing out here."

"Oh god Jazz! Do you think they're freezing somewhere out there?" I turn and throw myself in his arms. "They don't have coats…they don't have shoes…Oh god Jazz what if…"

"Alice." He cuts me off and hugs me tighter to him. "We can't think like that baby. Come on let's get you inside."

"Esme, Carlisle, I'm so sorry to hear about what happened." Mrs. Cope pulls Esme into a one armed hug, balancing a casserole dish in her other. "I just wanted you to know that we are here for you."

"Thank you Shelly." Esme pulls back and walks back to the window. Carlisle follows and stops behind her, wrapping his arms around her. She has been staring out the window all evening; hoping that at any second Edward and Bella will magically appear.

"Wish we weren't moving next week. Then we could be of more help to you." Mrs. Cope wipes a tear away and turns towards us. "How are you holding up kids?"

"Okay. Did you say you and Mr. Cope are moving soon?" I ask.

"Yeah. The winter has been extra hard on us this year and it's just getting started. Old bodies and bitter winds do not match. We figured it was time to enjoy our golden years in a warmer climate."

"Oh, that's nice." I say politely.

"Well I have to be going. I just wanted to drop off this casserole. I knew no one would be up for cooking tonight." She hands me the dish. "Make sure Esme eats…she needs her strength. Poor dear." She looks over at Esme and frowns.

"I will. And thanks again Mrs. Cope." She gives me a small smile and walks to the front door. She stops and looks back.

"I'm so sorry Esme, Carlisle." She walks out and closes the door.

I take the casserole to the kitchen and put it next to all the other food that has arrived over the past few hours.

"Why do people always bring food when something bad happens?" Emmett asks, sitting at the counter. "Hell even I'm not hungry."

"They do it so the person going through the tough time won't have to worry about cooking." Rose sits on his lap. "And you will be."

"The police are calling off the search for the rest of the night." Jasper walks in pulling his coat off. "It's too dark to see anything out there. They'll be back at first light."

"Why don't you kids head on home." Carlisle comes into the kitchen and starts another pot of coffee. "There isn't anything else we can do right now and you've all had a long day."

"But…" I start to say but he cuts me off.

"No buts Alice. You need to get some rest. You all do." He fills his cup. "Go on now. We'll see you in the morning."

I walk over and throw my arms around him. "We will find them!" I vow.

"Yes…we will." He hugs me back.

I roll over and groan, my head throbbing. I feel like I've been hit by a truck.

"Headache, Bella?" My eyes pop open and a chill runs down my spine at the sound of his voice. Sitting in a chair across the room is Felix. My eyes dart around, looking for Edward.

"He's not in here." Panic hits me as Felix leans back in the chair, a smirk on his lips. "Is he your boyfriend Bella?"

"Where is he?" I ask, my voice trembling.

He laughs and motions to Caius who heads up the stairs. "So tell me Bella, have you fucked him yet? Or are you a prick tease just like your mom was?" The anger in his eyes visible from across the room.

I look away and take in my surroundings. The room is small, cold, and damp. There are no windows and the only exit appears to be the stairs that Caius just went up.

"Caius!" I jump as Felix yells up the stairs. "What the fuck is taking you so long?"

A moment later the door opens and Edward walks down the stairs, hands still tied behind his back. Caius follows behind him, gun in hand. My heart rate increases at the sight of the gun so close to Edward.

"Time to test your theory, Caius. And you better be right." Felix stands and walks over to Edward. He stops in front of him and looks back at me. "Ready princess?" He asks before he turns back around and punches Edward in the stomach.

"EDWARD!" I scream as he drops to his knees, gasping for air. Felix grabs Edward by his hair, forcing his head back. He whips out a knife and holds it to against Edward's neck.

"NO! NO! NO!" I cry out. "Please! Don't hurt him! Hurt me! Hurt me!" I beg. I can't bear the thought of Edward getting hurt because of me.

"No Bella!" Edward chokes out as Felix pushes the blade harder into his neck. Bubbles of blood appear and I jump up.

"STOP! Please! I'll do anything! ANYTHING! Just please… Don't!"

Felix pulls the blade back and looks at me. "Looks like I've found your Achilles' heel"

"Now the question is what to do with this information?" Felix's grip on my hair tightens and I let out a low groan.

"Does that hurt?" His face looms over mine. "Too fucking bad." He jerks my head to the side and releases me.

He walks across the room and grabs Bella's wrist, dragging her towards me. "What would you give to keep Bella from being hurt?" He asks me.

"My life." I say with no hesitation.

"Good to know." And with that he twists her wrist back and I hear her bones snap. She lets out the most gut-wrenching scream and cradles her arm to her body, tears streaming down her face.

"You fucking low life son of a bitch!" I make a lunge for him but Caius grabs me and throws me to the floor.

"I had to kill your mother far too quickly for my liking."I watch in horror as Felix grabs Bella's chin, forcing her to look at him. "You look so much like her. I'm going to enjoy torturing you." He drops his hand and heads for the stairs. "And there will be nothing quick about it."

Caius drops a small bag on the floor and follows Felix up the stairs. "Oh and Edward, you'll be happy to know that Mrs. Cope dropped dinner off for your parents today. Seems they're going out of their minds with worry." The door slams and I hear a lock click.

"Bella, are you okay baby?" I roll onto my side and use my feet to kick myself into a seated position. "Please…talk to me."

"I'm sorry Edward." She cries and walks to me.

"I love you Bella." The need to touch her, to make sure she's okay is overwhelming. "See if you can find something to undo my hands."

She walks around the room cradling her arm. "There isn't anything." She lets out a frustrated huff and glances down at the bag. "Do you think…" she trails off.

"I don't know, love. It's worth a shot." She opens the bag and pulls out a bottle of water and a granola bar.

My stomach growls at the sight of the granola bar. How long has it been since they took us? It has to be at least Monday if my parents know we're missing.

"That's all that's in here." Bella says as she moves behind me. "Oh! It's not the cable tie anymore…it's a thin rope."

"Can you work the knot?" I ask.

"I'll try."

After twenty minutes or so she's managed to make it loose enough for me to pull one hand free. I turn and automatically pull her into my arms. She cries into my chest and I stroke her back, attempting to calm her down.

"Let me see your wrist baby." I gently pull in it into my lap. Her wrist is swollen, bruised, and bent in an unnatural angle.

Anger surges through my body. How dare he put his fucking hands on my girl! I'll kill him!

"I…I'm so sorry I couldn't stop him." I bring my lips to her wrist, placing light kisses across it.

"Edward?" She whimpers.

"Yes my love?"

"Will you hold me?" I nod and lay back, pulling her with me. We lie facing each other and I pull her closer to me.

"Always." I kiss her lips softly.

I hold her tightly and rub my hands up and down her arms, trying to keep her warm. I watch as her eyes begin to close and I keep watching long after she's fallen asleep.

"I will do my best to keep you safe." I lean down and kiss her forehead. "I promise."

A few hours later I feel myself begin to drift off when Felix's voice calls out. "Wakey, wakey kids." I immediately pull Bella's body closer to mine, turning so I'm shielding her body from him.

"As if that would stop me." He laughs and walks down the stairs, Caius and another man follow him down. "Besides Edward…this time, I'm here for you."

CPOV

"Have there been any calls today?" I ask walking into the house. I've spent the better part of the past four days combing the woods around the house.

"No." Esme strides over to me. "Any sign of them?"

I shake my head and watch her face fall. "The kids are still out there with a few other volunteers and police." I pull her into my arms.

"Carlisle, it's been days. Days!" her voice cracks. "It's like they vanished off the face of the earth."

"I know my love. I know." I kiss the top of her head. "I promise I'll find them."

The doorbell rings and Esme pulls back. "I'll get it." She walks away, wiping the tears from her eyes.

I head into the dining room and walk over to Detective Marcus. "Any information?"

"Not yet. I'm sorry Carlisle." He claps me on the back.

"Did you look into the Felix Black I told you about?" I know he's involved. There is no way this is a random kidnapping.

"Yeah and I gotta say Carlisle, I hope to hell he's not behind this." I look at him, dread hitting me hard.

"What do you know?"

"Well no one has seen the guy in years but he's more connected then the Mob. He's got lackeys all over the world from the information we've gathered." I sink into a chair.

"He's on the top ten most wanted lists in multiple states." He sits next to me. "This guy is brutal and very good at evading the law."

I run a hand through my hair and watch Esme step into the room. "Who was at the door?"

"A delivery truck." She holds an envelope, her hand shaking.

"What is it?" I ask, standing up and crossing the room.

"I don't know. It's addressed to Detective Marcus." I stop in my tracks and look at Marcus.

"Did you have…."

"I need gloves and a fucking dog in here ASAP!" He cuts me off snapping at a few officers in the room. "Esme please put it on the table."

She sets it down and backs away slowly. I pull her to me and wrap my arms around her. "It's okay…It's going to be okay." I say trying to reassure her and myself.

The kids burst through the door with a police dog in tow. "What's going on?" Alice asks as Marcus takes the dog's leash.

I don't answer her but watch as the dog sniffs at the envelope. After a few minutes Marcus clears it as safe and tears it open. His face pales and his eyes meet mine.

"Esme, Carlisle I need you to sit down." My legs almost buckle as I pull Esme to the table, her hand squeezing mine as we sit. "Kids I need you to head home for the night. We'll talk in the morning." Marcus tries to ushers them out of the room.

"No! I want to stay!" Alice protests.

I look at Jasper, begging him with my eyes to take Alice and go.

"Alice." Jasper starts but Alice plants her feet.

"No Jasper." She looks at me. "Please Carlisle." She begs.

"Alice I need you to go with Jasper. I promise we will talk tomorrow but right now I need you to go." I look at her. "Please."

"No! Esme…" She starts to say but Emmett bends down and picks her up. "Put me the fuck down!" she screams.

"NO! He's like my brother…he IS my brother!" she beats on Emmett's back. "Carlisle! I need to stay!"

"I'm sorry Alice." I say as Emmett carries her out the door, Jasper and Rosalie following close behind.

"I need you both to take a deep breath and try to stay calm." Marcus takes a seat across from us. "Its pictures."

"Pictures…" My stomach drops and Esme lets out a small sob.

"Do you want to see them?" Marcus asks holding them in his hand.

I nod, words escaping me and he looks at Esme.

"Yes." She lets out a hard breath. He glances between us one last time and places the photos on the table.

"OH CARLISLE!" Esme cries and turns her head, burying her face in my shoulder. I feel the bile rise in my throat.

The first photo shows Bella cowering and holding her wrist, which is bent in a very gruesome angle.

The second shows Edward tied to a metal chair, his eyes full of fear.

And the last one shows my son; my baby boy, clearly beaten within an inch of his life lying unconscious on the floor, Bella leaning over him crying.
