Chapter 16
Hi Again! Thanks for the few reviews I've received for the last chapter. Weren't too much, but I don't blame ya guys. I wouldn't reviewed over that chapter either. Sorry for the long time in between chapters. I've been really busy. Anyway, this chapter is what happened to Bella after she got into the red van. Oooo, even I don't know what I'm gonna write yet. We'll have to wait and see…
Okay, felt the need to add this. I am trying to change my pen name from Jaime Fresco to Jamie Fresco. My friend P told me that Jaime is pronounced Haime or something like that. My pan name is JAIME, not Haime. So to clear that up, it is just now Jamie Fresco.
Not Stephenie Meyer, haven't you realized that yet??

I laughed. So it was settled. We were going to help Bella! No one would have a chance against all of us working together.
"Don't worry, Alice. Everything's gonna turn out fine." I comforted her, putting my arms around her. She put her head on my shoulders. No matter what else happened, we would always be sisters.

I finally got my tearless sobs under control as I got into the car I looked around the interior of the red van I had just climbed into. The van immediately sped off down the road. I couldn't see who was driving; they had put up some sort of divider. The van was obviously high tech, whoever who owns it was definitely very wealthy. Then again, most vampires did tend to be pretty well-off.
Out the window, landscapes passed by in a blur. We were obviously traveling well over one hundred miles per hour. Another solid clue towards the vampire theory. I tried speaking to whoever was driving. "Excuse me, but where are we going?" I asked.
There was no answer. Great. Something told me that I wasn't going to get an answer out of this guy, whoever it was. I continued to stare out the window in silence. The silence was not good for me. I kept thinking of Edward's broken face. The disbelief in his eyes, the emptiness that set in afterwards. That image would haunt me for the rest of my life, no matter how long that would be. The odds weren't looking good that my life would go on for much longer at this moment.
I kept picturing it; the Cullen's disbelieving faces, then Rosalie's furious one. The hurt and betrayal in Mary's eyes. And to think that I was the source of all this pain. I just hoped that Mary didn't hate me so much that she hadn't not read the note. She had to read the note. I think that's our only hope. Now she just had to meet me in the back of the woods at 3.
But how was I going to even get away from my kidnappers? That was a very complicated question. I would have to come up with some sort of story. Hopefully they would let me go. They would have to let me go.
Finally we pulled up to a high-tech facility—in the middle of nowhere. It was kind of random. There were a bunch of trees surrounding it, from every direction except the way in which we had come. If was a couple miles off of the highway in which we had just exited. If you didn't know that it was there, you would definably not be able to find it.
Well, that's not a good sign, I thought, my heart sinking. Even if the Cullen's had known that I wasn't just an evil bitch whose main purpose in life was to break Edward's heart, and tried to save me, they would never be able be able to find me. I guessed that they had done something to it to make it pretty much untraceable, too.
With a sigh, I made to get out of the car. A black bag was sprung over my head and suddenly I passed out.
Well, that was different. I thought as I slowly regained consciousness. What happened to vampires never passed out, or got hurt? Apparently in this new game, all the rules have changed.
I sat up. I was now free from the black bag. But now I was trapped in a cell. This was not very good. The walls were a dull, gray color. There was nothing at all in the room except for a lone, old moth-bitten bed in the very corner. There was almost no light in the room, and no windows and only one door.
A thin, handsome man was watching me from the corner, sitting on the grimy old bed. "Um, hi?" I said. He chuckled. At least this one talked.
"Sorry about the whole bag thing. We were just surprised when you got out of the car that you would try to run, and well, we couldn't have that, now could we?" He replied.
"How was I knocked unconscious?" I asked this man.
"Well, our leader has discovered a way to make it so that if you smell the slightest whiff of this solution, you will be knocked unconscious." He explained.
"Oh. And who is your leader?" He grinned.
"That's for me to know and you to find out." He replied.
I kept asking questions and mostly receiving answers. I had to keep him occupied, mainly to keep myself occupied. If I was left alone, with only myself and my thoughts. I really didn't want to be left alone with my thoughts. I knew I would start crying, and I couldn't give them the satisfaction of them knowing that they beat me.
All in all, though, so far, this mystery man didn't seem like too bad a guy. I wondered why he was working with a bunch of kidnappers.
I realized I still didn't know his name. I asked him and he replied, Jeremy.
"My name's Bella," I told him. He chuckled.
"I think everyone who is here knows your name, Bella. Our leader has been obsessed with finding you for a while now." He answered.
"So, how do you like it here?" He asked. I raised my eyebrows at him. "Okay, wrong question." He admitted. Then I did something that I never thought I would do again. I actually laughed.
I kept asking him questions. I was very surprised. He seemed like a person who I could easily be friends with. Well, if he wasn't a part of a group of deranged vampire's intent on torturing me to death.
Finally, he got up to leave. I wanted to ask him to stay, just so I wouldn't have to be alone with my memories but I didn't want to seem needy. I couldn't show any fear if I wanted to survive this.
As he left, someone else came into my cell. I wondered who could possibly want to come in my cell. And for what reason?
As I stared at the door, in walked Victoria. Followed by Vicki.
Okay, sorry guys. For some reason, I really hate this chapter. I don't know why, I think it's because I rushed it a lot. Hopefully you guys liked it a little better then I did. Review please! Hey, I told you who were the masterminds behind the evil plot didn't I? Don't I deserve some reviews for that?
