A/N: Quick thing before we start there is some language but that's what the rating is for okay? Okay! Oh and thanks to all of my friends (aka just Niki and Michelle) for letting me ignore them, and sorry but I'm really busy! So this chapter is for Niki and Michelle! Yay them! Now, on with the… urg I forgot the word!

BPOV

Victoria was back. I had sunk James and I in deep shit. I couldn't believe she had found me or even that she had come after me.

"You know Bella, I'm glad you left that you left that other coven. I always thought they were big scum."

"But who could possibly be any scummier that you?" My stomach sunk lower; Victoria had taken James too.

"James you better shut up and don't say anything or I swear…"

"Wow Bella why can't you let the little girl talk?" she looked at James and said, "So, what's your name?"

James smirked and held out her hand. "The name's Brown, James Brown." She really had to get rid of that cheesy joke.

Victoria looked pissed to hear James' name, her eyes flashed from burgundy to black. "Who would name a cheeky little bastard like you a great name like that?"

"This lady named Rachel Brown. And A cheeky is for baboons, B last time I checked I'm NOT little, and C the last time I checked my parents were married before I was born. Oh, and just in case you got any ideas I'm not a dog either." All I could do was stare at James. She was going to die before sundown, not that I had any real hope.

"Like I said before, cheeky little bastard."

James scowled and asked the question I had been wondering myself. "Why are we even here? Huh mamula, why?"

"First of all, the name's Victoria. Second, mate for mate, Bella's mate Edward killed my James, so I'm going to torture and kill little miss muffet over here for payback."

"Like I said mamula."

"Ah, touché bastard child Brown."

"What are we getting here, Stockholm Syndrome?" I mean seriously all of this friendly, playful banter was starting to piss me off.

"Ah, I guess you're right. I really should get to the staby staby, pokey pokey, torture thing here shouldn't I?" Never mind. If they really wanted to talk who was going to say I was stopping them?

"You know mamula; you really shouldn't kill us you're just digging yourself in deep." My god, James really wanted to join her family.

Victoria turned to me with a smile on her face and said, "You know what? I like her, if I have enough self control I think I might be getting another minion."

"I'm not kidding you know. If you do kill us there will be a lot of people after you. You may be able to fool Pete but there are a lot of people who won't be fooled. By the way is there any food I'm starving." Of course she had to end her otherwise powerful speech that way. Good god we have no hope for survival.

"Here you go kid, bread and water. Knock yourself out, though I personally don't see why you humans eat this shit at all."

"What is this Prison? Because I know for a fact that prisoners eat better than this. See Bella I told you terrorists lived in the storage units." Yah because James is such a jailbird. I don't think she's even got a reprimand by a teacher before. She also did tell me that terrorists lived in the storage units because people rarely ever visit them, and they are close to people.

"Shut up and just be glad this isn't Auschwitz, you aren't Jewish, and I'm not Hitler."

Apparently that was the right thing to say because James shut up, and fast. But what surprised me the most is that in between popping bites of rolled bread in her mouth, she would throw pieces at Victoria, who didn't kill James on the spot. Seriously that girl had no sense of self preservation.

After a while James asked another question I had been meaning to ask. "What are you waiting for?"

"I have a special guest coming to help with the torture. Bella you may remember him, Laurent. Does that ring any bells? Ha! I crack myself up! Bells!" Whoa like I haven't heard that one before.

"Sure I remember him he's really fun!"

"Sarcasm killed the human Bella."

"Hey Victoria are you gonna let us go?" What the heck was wrong with James?

"No, why would I do something like that?" Yah, really.

"Are you gonna let us go?"

"I already said no."

"Are you gonna let us go?"

"No get it through your thick skull!"

And so it went for literally two hours until finally James changed it up.

"Victoria you really should let us go we pose no threat to you and we aren't really of any sentimental value. Personally I think getting revenge by going after measly humans shows weakness, and if I were your James weakness wouldn't fly with me."

"I think you should let us go right here we won't come after you and you won't come after us. Then you should go after the people who actually killed James. With Laurent it shouldn't be too hard." All I could do after that is stare at James because she is crazy. After a while I noticed that James was having a staring contest with Victoria.

It seemed like forever until Victoria said, "That sounds like a dandy idea. But you better get out of my sight before I decide otherwise." And with that she lifted the door of the garage, shoved us out and closed it again.

I couldn't believe that we had been in the middle of nowhere this whole time. I looked around and the only things were the storage units, some woods and a road.

We ran as fast as we could in the cold snow, but it wasn't fast enough to escape some people. All of the sudden it felt as if I ran backwards into a cement wall. And then it was dark.

I woke up back in the confines of that garage again to arguing.

"Why would you let them go? The whole point was torturing her so it would torture him!"

"I don't know why okay! But last time I checked I'm in charge so you better stand down unless you want your ass kicked!"

"Well let's just get this over with already."

"Stop right there. Torturing is an art if you think it's something to 'get over with' well then you got another think comin'."

"Fine let's start then."

"Better."

"Well Bella it looks like it's your lucky day we're gonna kill you first so you don't have to suffer as long. Though you will have to think about what we're going to do to your precious 'James'." She used air quotes around James's name.

"Don't kill her! It's me you want to kill! I left you Victoria, James left you. That wasn't Bella's fault, it was James's. Don't kill her, kill me!"

"You know what Laurent?" Victoria had an evil smirk on her face, "I think I'll take cheeky over here and you take the beautiful Bella that way we won't have any real distractions."

Then Laurent slammed into me and started breaking every bone he could. He was going to bite me when I heard a loud boom, and the green garage door came down. Then once again everything was black.

EPOV

I went to wait in the bookstore. I was reading the back of a book when a guy came up to me.

"Do you need any help sir?" His nametag read Pete, Store Manager. Also slave to his little sisters James and Bella. I had to laugh at that; they put a devil and an angel in the same spot.

He must have noticed my smirk because he blushed redder than Bella and said, "My little sisters own this place and they felt compelled to put personalized messages on everyone's nametags."

"Your little, sisters?"

"Yes, well one is eighteen, and the other did graduate from high school."

"Well that sounds a little messed up."

"I guess it is, but they really don't care, they just have fun. You know, you look familiar. Do you go to West?"

"Um, no I actually don't live here I'm just waiting for my sister."

"Hm." He looked confused and not totally satisfied."Are you sure I could have sworn I've seen you somewhere. Oh wait I know it was in that one picture. Hey do you know-"

Then I heard Alice.

"Edward?! Edward where are you?!"

"Over here in the self-help section." Wow, talk about embarrassing, Bella had driven me to the self-help section only ninnies got books here. I guess I'm a ninny now too.

Then Alice started pulling on me and I knew it was time to go.

"Well thanks for the help I guess." I called to Pete. Then Alice stopped, turned around, and looked Pete over.

"You're James and Bella's brother?" He nodded. "Well then you better come with us too." And with that we added Pete to our pull-along train (the conductor being Alice).

"Alice what's going on?" She had been doing a good job of blocking important thoughts.

"Where exactly are you taking me?" Apparently it's not every day you get pulled into one of Alice's schemes, for humans anyway.

"Edward Victoria and Laurent are here."

My heart fell out of my butt, I swear it did.

"Is Bella okay?"

"Ed I'm gonna give it to you straight, she's not okay."

"Wait a sec are we all talking about the same Bella, the one who enslaved me?" We had by that time reached my car. I also noticed that my whole family was spread between Rosalie and Carlisle's cars.

"Yes, and Edward follow me."

I got into my car obediently with Pete.

"Buckle up, we will be going fast."

I followed Alice to the middle of nowhere, listening to a plethora of thoughts, including my own, but the only ones I listened to belonged to Alice.

We're almost there; we're going to make it.

Her thoughts scared me; it hurt to think of what could happen to my sweet, precious, breakable Bella. The other thoughts of my family were all about me. And I could tell that they either pitied me, or were very angry with me. The only person who didn't have a true opinion on the matter was Pete; all of his thoughts were on his sisters.

We finally reached what seemed to be storage garages in a forgotten forest.

We're here. Alice announced in her mind even though it was obvious; I could hear someone pleading for a trade of lives. I prayed Bella wasn't dead.

I crashed through the big green door with my family. It was a bloodbath. In the corner Victoria was doing god knows what with a little girl. But what was in the middle of the room scared me the most. Laurent was about to bite Bella.

Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett took away Victoria and Laurent to, well kill them. Now my focus was on Bella. She looked terrible and bloody; I had to stop breathing because the scent was so intoxicating.

"Bella?! Bella?! Are you okay?!" Why wasn't she waking up?

"I think he knocked her out on accident." What was up with that little girl? She seemed to be in a lot of pain though she was still conscious. But I couldn't seem to be able to read her mind, just like Bella

"Who are you?" Carlisle had started working on Bella.

"I'm James, Bella's well, daughter I guess." Creepy, Bella would have been like seven if she actually had her.

"Bella has a daughter?" Skepticism coated my voice as I watched Esme carefully pick James up.

"Adopted, she's technically my legal guardian though she is trying to adopt me." She winced.

"What hurts?" Esme really loved this mothering stuff.

"Nothing, really, just make sure Bella is okay." I turned my attention back to Bella and looked at Carlisle for the diagnosis.

"Lots of broken bones and maybe a concussion but nothing truly life threatening."

I let out a sigh of relief and carried her gently to my Volvo.

"Alice will you drive for me?"

"Sure, toss me the keys." As I did so I remembered we had left Pete in the car; he would probably want to be with his little sister.

"Esme will you put James in with Pete up front."

"Sure Edward." When I was getting in the car I saw Esme sneak a kiss on James's forehead.

"I'll be in the other car; we'll meet you at the hospital."

"Thanks Esme."

"Let's go, we have to get both of them to the hospital."

"Hey anybody got a good excuse for this? Because I'm guessing 'falling down the stairs' won't work." How did she know about all of this stuff?

"Some guys came and beat you up?"

"Pete that would get investigated by the police, especially with our money."

"Wait, I know! You went down the waterfall when you were hiking."

"Isn't the waterfall frozen?"

"No the ice broke because of the warming period."

"Okay then my only question is why would we be hiking?"

"Hm, maybe you had an energy drink?" James laughed at that one then winced and said "Ow!"

"James are you sure you're okay? It looks like your arms and chest hurt."

"Don't worry about me Pete; we should make sure Bella is okay first."

"Bella has a lot of other people to worry about her and a doctor checked her; she's set. You on the other hand have me and my skills go as far as band-aids."

"James happens to have a doctor too. I've been to medical school if you pass her back here I can check her out."

James had a smirk on her face like she knew something; I wish I could read her mind too. "You've been to medical school? Last time I checked you're the same age as Bella and was in her grade too. Then again maybe you're just some creepy stalker taking advantage of the fact that you're getting handed a little girl." Gross that was all I could say or rather think.

"Well Pete hand me back." She winced at the movement as she landed in my now free arms; I had put Bella next to me. Luckily we were almost to the hospital

"Tell me if it hurts okay?"

"Yes Deddie."

"Don't call me Eddie."

"I didn't."

"I know."

I poked around her head, but there wasn't anything horrible just a few bruises. All of the sudden I heard a squish noise and her breathing became irregular like it was too hard to keep in air.

"James are you okay?" She shook her head no. I knew if I let her die Bella would hate me forever. I checked her chest area, then I knew what was wrong; one of her ribs had cracked off and punctured her lung. That was the squishing noise I heard before.

"We need to get her to the hospital now! Alice and Pete help Bella get in; I'll stay with James." We had luckily just pulled in by the emergency room door.

This was going to be a long night and I had no idea who would live to see the next day…

A/N: MUHAHAHA cliffy! Hehe, Michelle told me to do it so blame her! I do have spring break coming up but I also have history day so I'm going to be busy sorry but I will try my hardest!
