Chapter Three: A Kidnapping

Alice POV

We stood there on the stairs, and watched Edward play the piano and start to serenade the love of his life. I was lost in my thoughts though. I knew something was going to happen and very soon… something that was going to tear us from the serenity of Forks for at least awhile… something that would be caused by a member of the…

"PUT ME DOWN YOU ONION SKINNED BRUTE!" Was that the Weber girl and what has Aro done now.

The front door flew open and in came Marcus with Angela Weber flung over his shoulder. He shut the door and then he gently placed her on the floor. She took one look around and spotted Bella and Edward.

"Bella? I… thought you were dead!" she nearly screamed.

"No, who told you… oh right." Bella laughed lightly. "It's a long story."

Angela turned on her heel and stared down Marcus.

"And you do think you are, kidnapping an innocent woman walking home from church! If my father gets home and notices that I am not there… there will be a search party out with in the hour!"

"Don't worry my dear… it has already been taken care of! He thinks that you are dead!"

"WHAT!" every one said simultaneously. The entire room just came to a complete and utter stand still. Esme was the first to move. She turned her head towards Carlisle who just stared at his friend with disbelief written all over his usually calm smiling face. Jasper, who just happened to be coming out of the C.E.E. Inc. offices just stood there with this look like… 'did I miss something?'

"Yes, you did." Edward said quietly.

"How could you? I don't even know you… I don't even like you… who are you and why am I dead?"

"You were attacked by a bear… you ate you whole and the witnesses who saw it… my friends, Aro and Caius… told the authorities they were terrified beyond belief!" Marcus ended happily.

Angela turned and ran in to the arms of Esme who tried to sooth her. I gave Jasper a look that said, 'do something.' Angela was crying so hard that Esmes frame shook slightly. Carlisle came down the stairs and took the girl from Esme and carried her up to his office with Esme following.

"How could you do such a thing?" I asked. "How could I not see this coming?"

"It's not your fault, Alice." Jasper was right behind me… when did he get there? He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me gently towards our room.

Esme POV

"Sweetie, please calm down. Marcus is just a simple minded… man." I highly doubted she knew we were vampires… yet. She was to find out with the next few days… he was bound to change her… and now she is stuck here until they leave… and she accompanies them to Italy.

"Esme, please, you know as well as I do he is doing this for a reason and he won't be satisfied until that purpose is complete." Carlisle said quickly. I nodded and held the girl closer to me.

Tap tap

Carlisle answered the door and Edward walked in and sat across from Angela and I. He looked concern for a matter of seconds and then his face went completely blank.

"Marcus wants her to be his bride. He will stop at nothing if she doesn't agree to the arrangement. He says he wants it to be an arranged marriage and that he wants her changed tonight and he wants Carlisle to change her."

"He is insane. Why not have Aro do it?"

"Marcus says he can see Angela and his relationship… he says that it is a necessity that they be together." Edward was a bit annoyed. "and He says Aro already said no."

Carlisle sighed and looked at the girl in my arms. He threw his hands up in the air and looked at me.

"Esme, darling take her up to our room, let her rest and then we will need to have a chat with her."

"Yes, dear."

"Thank You." He whispered.

Two Hours Later

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! MOMMA!" Alexandria Montgomery screeched. Carlisle and I sat quietly in the living room just holding one another as the onyx haired young woman came racing down the stairs.

"What is it now, Alexandria?" Raja came out of the kitchen where she was creating some diabolical plan to destroy her husband. It's quite funny actually, they are the cutest couple I have ever seen.

"Bram, he asked me to marry him! I said yes!" She was practically jumping up and down. "He says he wants it to be like that Bollywood Musical… Bride and Prejudice. With the dancing and the singing and all that sort of thing… he says that it is to honor my heritage! I told him bring on the coffins and he just laughed stating we didn't need coffins. And I told him not according to Hollywood and …." You can see where this is going can't you? She spoke as if tomorrow didn't exist. Then Raja turned to Carlisle and myself.

"Carlisle, Esme, in India, a traditional wedding is held at the grooms house, unfortunately, because he wants it to be themed for Bride and Prejudice, it will need to be held at the brides house… which means here… is it okay with you if we have the wedding here?"

"Of, course it is." Carlisle said quickly. Then he looked at me.

"Yes, it is perfectly alright. How about a double wedding?" Alexandria nodded eagerly.

"It will be just like the end of the movie! Oh, He'll love it… can we get elephants?"

"Alexa, lets not go too far now… I don't think they allow elephants on private properties in Washington. Thank you Carlisle and Esme. By the way who else would be in this wedding?"

"Edward and Bella." Carlisle answered.

"Possibly a triple wedding…" We all looked up and saw a very somber Angela standing by the stairs. "I believe…" and then she collapsed to the floor.

A/N: Okay, this is a Jacob and Concordia story and a Marcus and Angela story… R&R… much love
