AN: So, thanks for everyone that voted! You made this next chapter happen. LOL. Let me count the votes…Derek abuses Bella and films it: 9…Bells is beat up and returned to the Cullens: 1…Bella gets raped: 2…Derek locks her up:1…the rest of the reviews chose two choices or more so I can't count that. Sorry! So I guess the winner is Derek abuses Bella and films it! R&R!!

Derek left the room and returned shortly with the same hated camera. He set it on the table and grinned coyly at me. Then he started advancing towards me and dealt me a heavy blow. Hard. On the head. I fell to the ground in a crumbled heap. Through the messy hair in my face, I watched Derek's foot coming straight at me, so I squeezed my eyes shut, bracing myself. The foot collided with my ribs and made my breath go out of me. Again and again, he kicked until I thought I could bare no more. Suddenly, I remembered the camera that was filming my agony. I knew that the Cullens would be seeing it. If I were to be beaten to death, I wanted to first set things straight with Edward.

"Edward!" I managed to choke out. "I'm sorry! I love you!"

"Don't waste your breath, girl!" Derek cackled, now punching me.

My vision started to become blurred and I was seeing spots. My breath came in hitches. I knew that I was going to die.

"I love you…" I whispered one last time. The last thing I saw was Derek's heavy fist swinging at me and then…darkness.

"Edward, you got something." Carlisle said, knocking on my door. Sullenly, I unlocked it and retrieved a parcel.

"Thanks, Carlisle…" I mumbled.

"I really wish you would stop mumbling!" I heard Esme yell from the kitchen. I ignored her.

"Really, if your attitude continues like this…I know you miss her Edward, but you have to move on…" Once more, I chose not to respond but instead closed the door quietly and sunk onto my leather couch.

"I know you miss her Edward, but you have to move on…"

How can I move on? She was the only one I really loved, cared about. Moving on, it's impossible.

The parcel was the size of a small book and I opened it curiously. Out fell a tape and a piece of folded up paper. I opened the paper cautiously. Who would be sending me a tape? And why?

Dear Edward,

What a gullible, pathetic boyfriend you are.

Bella is with me. It was so easy taking her again with your foolishness. Didn't you know? I was with you on the airplane the whole entire trip. It was just too easy. I even kind of wished for a challenge. She never did want to leave you, you know. I controlled her to make her break up with you. Another wonderful power of mine, if you will. Now, I would just like to say that Bella is now barely conscious, lying captive in my room. Barely conscious from being beaten by none other but me. I don't know why I'm telling you this. Maybe I just like to see you get hurt, to be in pain. I don't know, but it's very amusing. What fun. What pleasure. There's no way you will ever see her again, Edward because by nightfall, she will cease to live.

Derek

I put down the letter with trembling fingers. Derek kidnapped Bella again. Bella still loves me. Bella was still alive. But not for long! I suddenly remembered. She was to die by nightfall! I had to find her, had to rescue her before it was too late! But where? She could be anywhere in the world, but I truly had no idea. Where was I going to start? I picked up the tape. It might be of some help and so I slid it into the player and watched. I was horrified. The tape was nothing but a video of Bella's agony! I stared with growing anger at Bella being kicked around like a rag doll. How dare he! But then she suddenly said the words that made me want to cry.

"Edward! I'm sorry! I love you!"

What was she sorry for? None of this was her fault. It was mine. For being such a pathetic boyfriend and leaving her out of my sight. But she still loved me and that made me want to cry for joy. Wasting no time, I ran to my family, renewed hope within me.

"She's alive!" Was the first thing I yelled. Every one of my family members just stared at me shockingly.

"She's alive …" I breathed and pounded the letter on the coffee table. "We have to find her!"

Everyone took turns reading the letter and gasped.

Esme came to me and took me in her arms.

"I'm so glad…" She whispered in my ear.

"Same." Jasper said, laying an affectionate hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry man, we'll find her."

I took in a deep breath.

"I hope," I said. "I hope."

AN: Cliffy! Lol. R&R!!
