Disclaimer:

I'm going to get straight to the point so I can move on with the story...sooo...I Don't Own Twilight! now that's taken care of...on with the story!

Previously on WTT:

I wanted to be wrapped in Seth's warm arms that just project safety. I wanted to be surrounded by my family and know I'm going to be okay. But as long as I was here in Ross' clutches having what was left of my non-existent innocence taken from me, I would never be okay.

Chapter 14

SPOV

Anything? I asked the guys again. I could tell I was getting on their nerves but I couldn't help it. I mean, this was my soul mate that was missing. Not some random friend that I'll get over in a matter of months. If I lost Lily, I don't even know what would happen, and I don't want to know.

No! see? Seth, why don't you take us to the spot where the scent is the strongest? Jake suggested.

Fine, follow me. We turned around and I lead them to the clearing where I know the scent was definitely the strongest.

It took about fifteen minutes to find the clearing and two to depict the scent. The sickly sweet scent with a hint of hobo is Ross and of course the apple lavender scent with the hint of vanilla is Lily's. The trail leads south about three miles before it just stops. I informed them as they each took a sniff of the two scents.

"Alright, let's head south and see where this takes us. Anyone who catches the scent, let the others know." Carlisle said to everyone. Everyone nodded and started to head in different directions.

I ran with Brady and Leah going southwest towards the scent. The scent cut off as expected but I wasn't going to give up. I was going to find my Lily and I wasn't going to rest till I found her.

LPOV

My limbs were numb and I felt as though I was run over by a truck. With the night I had, I wasn't to far off. I looked around my small room as the events from the night before flashed in my mind and I had silent tears running down my cheeks. Why me? I can't believe it was happening again. Of all the ways of physical torture, he had to pick the worse possible one. Sure it wasn't the first time it happened but it still never get's easier. Normally I would make myself go numb so I wouldn't have to notice anything till the morning but with everything on my mind, it slipped and that experience is one I never want to live through again.

I got up and attempted to stand but my legs were making it hard cause the damage did more to my legs than anything. Pain shot through my legs and I cried out in pain as I crumpled to the floor. This pain made the other times seem like a harmless paper cut. This was ten times worse than that. And it not only hurt me physically but mentally too. Sure I wasn't really able to do anything about it but I couldn't believe I just lied there and took it. My silent tears turned into loud sobs and suddenly I was scooped up in a pair of cold arms.

He carried me to the bathroom and started to treat my cuts. Once my cuts were cleaned and my sobs were merely whimpers, he took me back to the room and handed me what was left of my dress. The dress was tattered at the bottom but it still covered the necessary parts for which I was grateful for. He looked me over carefully before scooping me up back in his arms and took me to the kitchen and sat me down on the chair. He placed a plate what I think were eggs but I couldn't tell cause my eyes were still blurred with tears.

"Come on Lily, you gotta eat" He ushered me but I just sat there wiping away the tears in vain.

He took the fork, scooped some of the 'eggs' and waved it under my nose. I will admit, it smelt amazing but I would never tell him that. I parted my lips slightly and he shoved the fork in my mouth. The taste of the eggs was mouthwatering and it made me wonder if he stole this from some random human in their house instead of making it but then again Ross is a man of many talents. Most of which I want to take a lighter and burn him but some I think could possibly make up for the bad qualities...not really but even then. Great I'm rambling in my thoughts like Seth usually does.

I cringed mentally at the thought of Seth. He probably hates me for all that happened. He probably thinks I hate him after what I said. How could I say that to him. It was the hardest thing I ever said. The biggest lie I ever spoken. It made me feel horrible.

I was brought out of thoughts as he brought another forkful to my lips and fed me like a helpless child. The sad thing is, that's how I felt. Like a helpless child that was thrust into the unknown world. It scared me to no end to know that at this moment that the only person I could trust in this one house was in fact Ross and that was more scary than what Ross had planned for me.

Once he was done he took me upstairs and sat me on the desk chair. I was confused for a minute before he brought over a small wooden chest. The chest had a simple floral design on the front. I opened the lid and was shocked at what I saw in the chest. In the chest was the sketchbook that me and my little sister, Maria, made when I was five. It had a homemade cover that Ria picked out the color but our grandmother made the stitching to say 'Dreams are just thoughts you didn't have time to think about during the day', there was a silver snap to close to the book and pages that Ria put in and I sewed together. It was filled with the many sketches that showed what me and my sisters would do together with our dad. The next items were the three sketchbooks that my dad got me for my sixth birthday that I filled with every picture memory from our family bonding trips to the park, the capital, the zoo. Sometimes I would sketch my family and once I found a picture of my mother that my dad did a bad job of hiding and sketched her before I put the picture back. A purple photo album that was filled with pictures of my sisters and I. There was a picture that was taken the day before my dad died, my dad was sitting on his chair with Ria on his lap while I sat on the right arm of his chair and Rosie sat on the opposite side. Our smiles were huge, completely oblivious as to what unfortunate event was to take place the next day that would wipe those smiles in a heart beat. I skimmed through the pictures till I got to some that looked recent. There was one of what looked like Ria sitting next by a tree next to her was a boy who looked about the same age and they seemed to be laughing at something that the boy had said. The next picture was one of what I believe was Rosie. She was on a large blue bed with books surrounding her with a pencil practically glued to her hand as she worked on her work. I realized these pictures were more recent then I would have liked them to be. These pictures were taken two days ago.

"You were near my sisters?" I sneered. I was furious, he could torture me for the rest of my life and I wouldn't care, but get near my sisters and that's crossing the line.

He just nodded nonchalantly, "I figured you would want to see what your sister's looked like since you haven't seen them in years."

I was practically vibrating in anger, "And what made you think that?"

"I needed you to have a reason to stay and I figured that if you didn't stay I would have to call the 'friends' I have stationed and each of the homes that your sisters are at and have them 'taken care of' but we don't want that, now do we?" he answered and I went from anger to shock to pure nothingness. I didn't know what to feel but I did know what to say.

"You stay away from my sisters! They have nothing to do with this! I haven't talked to my sisters in years and all of a sudden they're suddenly part of my death plan? No! Leave them out of this!" I shouted outraged he would do this to me. If he wanted me to stay then all he had to do was leave everyone else alone but was completely out of character. He never did this, he would just torture me and let me be but this is insane.

"I wouldn't have had to do this if it weren't for your so called 'family' and your so called 'mutt boyfriend'. If it weren't for them, I would be able to have you all to myself with nothing to stop me but since there is I have to find a way to be alone with you which shall be easy since your little fall out with your mutt. All I have to do is make sure they don't catch your sent before I have the others take care of your family. We wouldn't want this plan to go to waste now would we?" I nodded numbly "good, now look in the box, there's one more thing that I know will lift your spirits and that's all I'm trying to do for you."

Not caring about how this was supposed to lift my spirits, I turned around and rummaged through the chest to reveal the one thing that I've always wanted no matter what. It was my mother's charm. The teardrop with the rose imprint was attached to a sterling silver charm bracelet that forever sat on the dresser of my dad's room in a small jewelry box that dad would give each of us something each year on her birthday after we'd go to the cemetery. Tears built up in my eyes and as much as I wanted to destroy Ross of the face of the planet, he got me the one thing I've always wanted and that's what I hated most. He just did this so I would stay with him when the choice came but in all honesty this was repelling me from him. The more he wanted me to stay and the more he tried to encourage me to stay, the more I wanted to get out of here and never come back.

I turned around and tossed my arms around his neck, "Thank you so much!" He chuckled at my antics and took the bracelet and secured it around my bruised wrist.

"Your welcome now, I have to go check on the others, I'll be back by dinner and you better be here, got it?" I nodded "oh and before I forget, I won't be leaving you alone of course. I will have Clark watching you. He'll be downstairs if you need anything. You are not to leave the house and well you know the rest." He stood up "See you soon my flower" he kissed my forehead and headed out the door.

I got up and ran to my window. I could see Ross talking to Clark outside then he turned around and left. Once I was sure he left, I ran to my bed and released the tears that have built up for the past four hours. Sobs racked my body as I thought about how I'll probably never make it out of here this time, or how I'll probably never see Seth again or ever get to tell him how extremely sorry I am or how I'll most likely never see my family again. After an hour or so of crying, my tears brought in a wave of exhaustion and I didn't fight, in fact, I welcomed it. 'Cause, in this hell, I'll take any type of escape I can get.

SPOV

(Just a minute after Lily cries herself to sleep)

But-

No buts, you need to rest, you've been at this since last night and you need a rest. I'll wake you up if we find anything, okay?

I sighed, Fine, but the second you find out something, you wake me up.

Jake nodded with a triumphant look in his eyes and took off after the others. With a low growl, I turned around and headed towards the clearing to clear my mind. We've been at this since I told them last night she was missing and still nothing. Edward hasn't spoken a word to me since he read my thoughts and I don't blame him. I mean, I'm his friend and I not only told off his sister, I lost his said sister. The other siblings are sorta the same way, not talking to me unless absolutely necessary and growling when they feel is necessary. The only one who isn't like that is Alice, Esme, and Carlisle. They can talk to me like a civilized person instead of a piece of gum under their shoe. The thing is, I know I deserve it and that what makes me mad. If I hadn't let my anger take control this would have never happened. But it did and I can't stop it now.

Once I reached the meadow, the exhaustion that built up from the night before took over and I fell over as my eyes closed and welcomed the darkness.

"Seth!"

Lily?

"Seth! Where are you?"

"Lily? Lily, I'm over here!" I called out to her as I stood up from the ground of the clearing.

The trees started to rustle when suddenly Lily ran into the clearing. I ran over to her and wrapped my arms around her and swung her around in a circle as her laugh filled the air. I set her down without removing my arms and kissed her with as much love as I could conjure up. Her arms wrapped around my neck as she kissed back before she pulled back and stared at me in the eyes. We just stood there looking at each others eyes just relishing in each others company, not believing this was really happening.

I pulled her back at arms length to get a good look at her. She wore a knee length white dress with white flats with a clip in her hair. The dress was looked to be tattered but sewed up were the dress was torn. Even with the state of her clothes, she still looked beautiful. Her hair was a little messy but that added to the beauty, her eyes now shined with happiness instead of the pain and agony I saw the other day and overall she looked, fantastic.

After my evaluation was over, I crushed her into another hug, "I can't believe your here. Are you okay? Did he hurt you? Has he touched you? Do I have kill him? If so, slow and painful or fast and painless? Did-?"

"Seth, Seth, calm down. I'm fine at the moment, I'm taking a nap while Ross and Marcos are running around doing god knows what, while he he has Clark watching over me from downstairs. He drank from me yesterday but other than that he hasn't hurt me. Not that I can say that for his buddy Marcos but anyway. Yes he's touched me, he's carried me everywhere and he bandaged me up from the injures I got from Marcos, nothing new. Yes, you have my blessing to kill him. Slow and painful cause not only is he holding me as his personal blood donor, but he has watch on my sisters. But for the record, I'm fine. Don't worry." she tried to assure me but nothing was going to assure me until I got my Lily back in my arms.

"Oh my flower, how peaceful you look while your sleeping." I heard the devils voice in the distance.

"Crap, he's back. Seth, I'm sorry I have to go." She said as she gave me one more squeeze before coming out of my embrace.

"Wait, before you go, I need to know, where are you? I need to let the others know before I just run off and save you because your siblings now officially hate me after what I did." I hung my head in shame.

She lifted my chin with her hand and made me look at her, "Seth, it's not your fault, if anything, I should be the one whose sorry, not you. I didn't mean what I said, I just needed some alone time and I guess with my rotten luck I just happened to get lost in the forest, then find a way to the clearing when Ross found me. And don't even think about apologizing about what you said, you were mad and I provoked you by yelling back. Your anger took over and I know for a fact you would have never said that while calm. That's not the Seth I know, the Seth I know would forget everything and do something stupid to make the problem go away."

"Alright, I won't say it now but the minute I find you and make sure your safe, I'm apologizing a thousand times and you can't stop me." I warned her.

"watch me." was all she said before she started to fade away.

"Lily!" I cried out to her now fading form.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Just hurry to me, please."

"Wait! Where are you at?"

"I'm in Portl-" was she said before form faded completely and I was standing in the middle of the clearing all alone.

Portl? What was she trying to say? Think Seth, think! Where do you know that starts with 'Portl-'?

PORTLAND!

My eyes flung open at the realization and I shot up from the ground and started running in the direction of Portland in hopes to catch up with the others on the way.

EPOV

(While Seth is having the dream)

We had just made it to Olympia before Emmett called us saying he caught Ross' scent. We followed the scent but lost it just before we reached the border. We went back to see if the scent went in a different direction but it was just the same.

I was trying to catch their thoughts but all I was getting was little flickers here and there whereas Alice is frustrated because the only vision is getting is of Lily getting fed by the creep then the monster feeding from her. Everyone is trying their best and we're not giving up, not until we have Lily back at home safe with us.

"Guys wait!" I heard Carlisle call out as we just hit the border and was in the forest just out of Longview.

We ran over to see Carlisle holding a frozen Esme who just stood there with her eyes glazed over just like when Alice gets a vision.

"What's wrong with Esme?" Jasper asked as I tried to tuned into Esme's thoughts but wasn't getting anything.

"I don't know, we were running when suddenly she just stopped, she's been like this for the last five minutes." Carlisle explained looking slightly helpless.

We stood there trying not to panic when suddenly Esme shook her head and looked at all of us in turn.

"She's in Portland"

"What?" we all said.

"She's in Portland. That's where he took her." she removed herself from Carlisle's arms, "We have to hurry, he knows she tried to get in contact with Seth in her dreams. She's going to get punished and we need to hurry before it's to late."

We didn't wait for her to say anything else and ran in the direction of Portland.

Edward, did you find her? I heard Jacob call out as he started to run along side me.

"Yes, she's in Portland. Let the others know" He nodded and ran in the other direction to let the others know.

They're on their way at this moment, they should be here soon.

"Thanks Jacob"
No problem, it's we have to do for our fellow wolf's imprint.

"Still, thank you Jacob, for everything."

With that, we ran in the direction of Portland to save our sister or in Carlisle and Esme's case, daughter.

LPOV

My eyes flew open at the sound of Ross' voice in my ears. I can't believe it worked. I didn't think it was possible. At least Seth knows where I am now. I just hope he gets here in time before Ross has his way.

I sat up and rubbed my eyes before looking around and noticing that the room was empty. That's odd. I could of sworn I heard Ross' voice.

Thinking he just might be playing with my mind at the moment, I took advantage of the situation and ran towards the wardrobe. I swung open the doors, bent down and pulled the handle that opened the small door on the floor of the wardrobe. I climbed in and went down the stairway that led to the guestroom closet. Quietly, I opened the next door and walked into the closet. I sat down in the back corner behind a bunch of random clothes that I remembered were some of Blake's old clothes from when he spent the night here.

I heard a door slam and I knew he was home. Carefully, I reached up and took one of Blake's jackets and put it on to hide my scent. A series of slamming doors rang in my ear and I knew he was mad. He must have found out that I got in contact with Seth, that was the only reason I knew he would get mad at me. Other than that, I was like his precious china doll or something-always creeped me out but oh well.

Finally the guest door slammed open and I knew he found me.

"Oh my flower, when are you going to learn that your efforts in hiding are in vain." I heard him say and I tried to shield myself with Blake's jacket.

The closet door swung open and I held my breath as I heard his steps get closer to my hidden form. Suddenly, I was in mid-air with my eyes shut at the sudden movement.

"Lily, Lily, Lily. When will you ever learn?" he mused as I opened my eyes to see him with a slight smile on his grim face.

He adjusted me so was in his arms bridal style then walked to the living room and sat me down on Mark's chair before releasing his anger out on several pieces of furniture. Just as he was about to break the couch he grinned as though he had a better plan. It was times like these that made me with I was less observant.

"So you found a way to get in contact with you mutt, I see?" He stalked over to where I was curled up into a ball on the chair "Well?"

"Sí" Shiz, of course. Of all times this comes up.

"What?"

"Sí, me puse en contacto con Seth(yes, I got in contact with Seth)" I answered. His smirk got wider as he grabbed me by the collar of the dress and held me against the wall.

"You really shouldn't have done that, you know? I would have taken good care of you while you were with me, heck, I might have changed you if it meant keeping you forever. But now I think, I will just have my meal now and make sure to drink you dry. Then again, I could have a little fun before hand. Oh yes, that sounds promising." he pulled me forward before shoving me against the cold hard wall again. "So for your punishment, I make your death as fun for me as possible. What do you think?"

I felt a surge of courage run through me and I took advantage as I yelled out, "He knows where we are, they all do! They won't let you get away with this!"

He chuckled at my yelling, "Oh Lily, don't you get it? Just because he knows doesn't mean he'll make it time. I plan this to be fast and fun." As he said this, he flung me to the sofa which with the impact made it flip over.

Ross reached under the now flipped sofa and dragged me out. My ribs were screaming in protest but I didn't utter a single word other than grunts and hiss' of pain. He held me by my arms and I was frozen in place as he crashed his cold hard lips to my warm, sore lips. I tried to get him to let me go but my arms were trapped and I really couldn't do anything do to the fact that I was only human going against a strong vampire.

He pulled back and tossed me towards the bookcase and my back took most of the impact. The bookcase shattered and my body was screaming at me to give in to the pain but I knew better. This wasn't the same Lily from three months ago. I had something to fight for. My family, Blake and most importantly, Seth. I had to fight for them if nothing else.

I got on my hands and knees when I realized that I was now bleeding from my arm that apparently got cut from the wood. Great, just great. I tried to crawl to somewhere to hide but my efforts were in vain when Ross picked me up by the hair and I cried out in pain. He tossed me to the other side of the room where I landed on the now shattered glass coffee table. The glass from the table definitely didn't help with the cuts but made more than I realized. I ran my hand through my hair where I discovered more blood from the back of my head.

His dark laughter filled the air as he took in my bloody appearance. He stalked over and grabbed my hair and lifting me up. I screamed which he just chuckled before tossing me to the ground like a rag doll.

Ross froze mid step before chuckling darkly, "looks like your mutt did find me. Well, to bad you won't be alive to witness my killing him."

The pain was beginning to be to overwhelming and I couldn't fight it anymore. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't. Tears streamed down my face as several thoughts ran through my head,

Carlisle, Esme, you guys are the best parents I could ask for, thank you. Rose, Ali, Bells Thank you for being the best sisters in the universe. Em, Jazz, You guys are the most amazing brothers a girl could ask for. Edward, your an amazing guy friend/brother and I still dislike your mind reading ability. Nessie, Your my best friend and I love you. Blake, I forgive you for everything and yes, I accept you as my brother. And.., "Seth. Seth, I'm so sorry." I winced at how weak my voice sounded, "Seth, I love you. I'm sorry." The last thing I heard was loud, tortured howl before I plunged into the darkness.

*Ducks under table* alright, here is Chapter 14!

next will be a seth pov and a whole bunch of stuff! i'm so excited but i'm also kind of freaked. this was the 'big fight' scene and honestly i think it sucked. but oh well.

sorry it's late but after my family's vacation, my little sister decided that when we went to pick up my dog and my brothers dog, that she wanted to stay at my grandma's for the week. so since, if you want my sister, you get me too(you know package deal?) i stayed to. i had my laptop with me but i just couldn't think straight over there. and this is the result of that, so if you think it sucks then don't blame me. cause honestly, i don't know what happened.

Also, pics of the wooden chest Ross gave her and the contents of said chest are on my profile. check them out!

alright. so the answer to last weeks puppy question was...Jacob! (hate him, but he does have some fun quotes.)

those who got it right are:

*DareBare13

*futurecullen26

*MayHopeCullen

*Twilightluver2127

*rosalinda316

*team-twilight95

others who reviewed(Thank you!)

so i'm thinking this weeks puppy question will be another 'who said that quote?'. so this weeks puppy question is...Who said: "Come on, little coward, climb on my back." Twilight, Chapter 13(fav chapter)

So, take a guess, and i'll let you know who all got it right next time along with the answer. Thanks to those who took time to answer the puppy question and review and those of you who just reviewed, thank you. all those reviews get me all happy and that plus my apple juice get me ready to type the next chap.
