--Eight--

For the rest of the day, Tyler was trying to get a hold of Carly either by text or calling her on her phone, but got nothing. Then he decided to send her a thought instead.

"Carly?"

"Yeah?"

"Where are you?"

"At Jack's mansion. Don't tell anyone."

"I won't… but I will be right there."

Twenty minutes later, Tyler showed up at Jack's mansion, parked Caleb's car, then walked in.

"Carly?" she walked out of the kitchen with a scared look on her face. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. You need to leave."

"Why?"

She lipped "Chuck is here." and said "Because I don't need you." she lipped "Help me."

Tyler nodded, played along, and said "Fine, because I don't need you either!" he lipped "I'll get the kids."

"Good… nobody asked you to come here." she lipped "Please hurry."

He nodded and said "Whatever! Bye!"

Then Tyler left outside to Caleb's car. He Used to orb himself to where the kids were. He held onto both of them, it took a lot of energy but he managed to orb them back to the Simms Manor in a bed without waking them up.

Carly walked back into the kitchen where Chuck was and said "There… I got rid of him."

"Good girl… I know I came earlier than I said I was going to. Even though Nicole has a few more months of carrying my son. But, I just wanted to see how you were doing."

"How did you find me?"

"I am not stupid, Carly." he walked up to her grabbing her arms all hard. "I gave you a good life. I gave you everything you wanted and I gave you everything you needed and you try and kill me trying to make my plane crash?"

"I tried."

"Well… failed, because here I am… here to claim what is mine. You and my baby. We are going to be a family."

"No… I will never be yours."

"That's where you are wrong."

"What did you do to my daughter? Why were you hurting her?"

"She's weak… just like you."

"You lay another finger on my daughter… I swear I will fuckin kill you and you won't came back from it the next time."

He grabbed onto her arms harder and said "Yeah… we'll see about that." he pinned her against the counter. "You are going to be mine."

"Never!" she yelled and head butted him as hard as she could on his forehead.

He got pissed off. He pulled her by her hair and dragged her into the living room, throwing her onto the couch. He got on top of her, ripping her shirt off, and trying to get her jeans off while she was trying to fight back. He was smacking her in the face and choking her while she was trying to scream.

All of a sudden her eyes flashed black and she said "I was never yours!" then she Used to orb herself away from Chuck into Tyler's hummer thinking he was the one driving it, but she didn't notice that it was Reid driving.

"Tyler…" she faintly whispered before passing out.

Reid looked over and said "What the fuck?" almost crashing into a tree. He stopped the car to look at her and saw bruises on her neck, red marks on her face and arms. "Bella! Wake up! What happened?" he got nothing, so he booked it back to the Simms Manor.

Tyler was standing there at the foot of the bed watching the kids sleep for a while. Then when he felt that they were safe he went downstairs into the den.

Pogue looked up and said "I thought you left to go get Carly."

"I did but--" he started, then got cut off by the door swinging open with Reid carrying Carly onto a couch. "What are you doing? How did she? Where?" Tyler was confused.

"I was driving back here and she appeared in the passenger seat."

Tyler looked at her and said "She has red marks on her arms and face."

"And bruising on her neck." said Pogue.

Kate covered her up with a blanket and Tyler said "I am going to kill that asshole."

"Who? Who did this to her?" asked Reid.

"I had went over to Jack's to talk to Carly. I walked in and the look on her face… she was terrified. She was being mean telling me to leave and that she didn't need me."

"Why?" asked Caleb.

"Chuck was there with her. She lipped it to me. So I left and grabbed the kids getting them out of there."

"The twins are here?" asked Reid.

"Yeah, they are safe upstairs asleep."

"So, Chuck is here." said Caleb.

"I'm going to kill that son of a bitch for hurting Bella... He is fuckin dead." said Reid getting pissed off.

Twenty minutes later, Carly's eyes started to flutter. She didn't know where she was. All she could remember was Chuck trying to attack her. So she started screaming and swinging her arms.

Reid had to pin her down and grab her arms as she was trying to fight back yelling "Let go of me, Chuck!"

"Bella… it's okay! Calm down. It's me, Reid. You are safe."

After about five minutes when she realized it was Reid, she calmed down. She had a tight grip on him and she wasn't going to let go of him.

A little bit later, Tyler sat down on the coffee table across from her and said "Carly… what happened?"

"Um… a little bit after I talked to you, Chuck came over. He barged into the house, into the kitchen. Then when you came over he told me to get rid of you or he'd hurt Lily."

"And then what happened?"

"After you left he was telling me that I was going to be his. Me, him, and Nicole's baby are going to be a family. I don't think he knows about her and I didn't tell him either. I head butted him, then he grabbed me by my hair, dragging me into the living room and throwing me onto the couch." tears started rolling down her cheeks. "he started ripping my clothes off… and then he… he was trying to--" she stopped, buring her face into Reid's chest, and sobbing.

Reid was rubbing her back and said "Bella… it's okay. You are safe. I am not going to let him come near you, Okay?"

She nodded into his chest. Everyone was speechless not knowing what to say.

"We're all going to stay here and stay together." said Caleb.

"That's cool… you all know there is enough room." said Tyler.

"I am going to take Carly upstairs." Reid said getting up carrying her bridal style. "Could you all keep your ears and eyes open for Jacob and Lily?"

Everyone nodded in agreement and Tyler said "Of course, man."

"Okay… see you all tomorrow." then Reid walked up to his room, gently putting Carly on his bed.

He shut and locked the door, when he turned around, he saw Carly curled up into a little ball. He went to rub her back but she flinched.

"Bella, you are okay. You are safe with me." he said as he sat down on his bed leaning up against his pillows next to Carly. She laid her head on his chest as he was putting his arms around her.

"I shouldn't have left earlier." she said.

"No… I shouldn't have been acting dumb over Nicole. You are right, I don't care about her. I only care about you and our babies."

"I'm sorry, I said those things… I didn't mean it. I do need you as well as the kids do."

"I know. I want to tell you something."

"What?"

"After you left I went to see Nicole. We had a long talk and I know Caleb wanted me to follow thru with not breaking up with her… but I did. I told her that I'm in love with you and I have always been in love with you and the twins were mine."

"Oh."

"Yeah… she didn't take it too well, but then she had told me that the baby wasn't mine and she said it was some guy named Charles… I already knew that, but I didn't tell her… I just acted surprised. But, she promised to stay out of my life."

"Well… once Chuck finds out she lost his baby, he might do something to her."

"I know… but I'm not going to worry about it. I just want to focus on trying to get you and the twins safe and kill that son of a bitch."

"Oh… okay."

"Question… you said that Chuck ripped off your clothes. He didn't… you know?"

"No… he almost did, but I got out of there before he could."

"Oh okay… well, I am still going to kill him for touching you."

"I'm sorry, Reid."

"I am sorry too… I love you."

She looked up at him and said "I love you too, Reid." then she kissed him.

After a few minutes, he stopped and said "Are you sure you want to do this, after what happened?"

"I want you to make me forget."

Then he flipped her on her back, kissing all over her. Every so often she would flinch as the rest of her clothes were coming off, then his clothes was coming off as well. But, when Reid touched her with his hands she calmed down and he was loving her all night long, making her forget.
