A/N: Hey guys I know its been a while since my last update, but I had lost my will to write. I didn't know what direction the story was going to take. I got last minute inspiration from somewhere and was able to write this. Please just tell me what you guys thought of this chapter. Also check out my other story Looks Can Be Deceiving.
Chapter 10: Walking on Thin Ice
Edward POV
Leaving Bella on the doorstep was something I didn't want to do, but I knew she wouldn't leave me alone if I didn't go hunting. I also couldn't help the fact that I needed time away from her to think about things. I got in my car and was speeding to my house knowing that I would be there in no time.
It's hard to believe the things Bella said she has done. My Bella. I can't imagine her being drunk and partying around with the likes of friends like that. Talking back to Renee the way that she described is not the person I fell in love with and yet I wouldn't turn her away either. I was now parked outside my house when Alice's thought intruded in my head.
She was practically screaming at me saying,
"Hey Edward, are you done daydreaming about Bella? Can we please go right now?"
I love my favorite sister, but for her to be so small she sure is annoying. Sometimes I do not know how Jasper deals with her sometime, but I guess his calming ability comes in handy.
I said to her in a whisper, "Let me run up to my room first."
She said, "Yeah just don't forget your phone. I see you leaving it here."
I zoomed past my family to my room. I just needed a minute to myself. Different scenarios flashed through my head of Bella. It's still hard to imagine. I was caught in my thoughts again that I didn't notice Jasper there.
He said, "Are you alright man? Your emotions are all over the place."
"Yeah I am all right. Thinking about Bella as always", I said to him.
He said, "Well Alice is getting very impatient, but I am pretty sure you know that already."
I said to jasper laughing, "Yes I do. Lets not keep her waiting."
We went down the stairs and sure enough there was Alice waiting there tapping her foot. She quickly kissed Jasper and grabbed my hand and there goes our family in the distance.
We stopped at the driveway when Alice said,
"Race you to our usual spot."
Before I could answer her she was already gone. This is how all of our hunting trips would start out, as a race that Alice knew that I would win. She always seem to give herself a head start, but it never it never worked in her favor. I caught up to Alice in no time and she sighed to herself.
I laughed at her as I said,
"You didn't actually think you would beat me, did you? And you suppose to be psychic."
She stuck out her tongue at me and laughed. We both became aware of the wild deer that was around us and immediately let our senses take over. Alice took down two deer in no time and I was still finishing off the first one.
She noticed my lack of an appetite and came over to me and said,
"What are we going to do with you? Something is bothering you about Bella. What is it?"
"Alice, would you believe me if I told you that Bella use ro be an alcoholic? That she use to talk back to Renee", I asked her.
She had this look of confusion on her face.
She said, "Bella?"
I told her that some of the things that Bella told me would shock her but she is fine now. "I guess I am worried about the fact that I left her with the very people who got her hooked on it in the first place. I don't want her to fall back into that life style. You know it takes a lot to scare me Alice, but I am scared for her. Everything in me is telling me something is not right. I wish I knew why they were here."
That's when Alice looked at me and said,
"Don't worry Edward. Everything will be all right. You just have to be-"
She stopped talking all of a sudden. I figure she must be getting a vision and that's when she punched my arm.
She spoke saying,
"You left your phone anyway after I warned you not to leave it."
I laughed at her and said,
"I must admit that I was not in my right mind then and besides your husband kind of side tracked me."
Alice said, "Well Bella is trying to call you right now."
When she said that I immediately broke into a run back to the house and Alice was right behind me thinking,
"You could have said something before you just took off running on me."
We were back to the house in no time and I went past my family again to my room. I grabbed my phone and just as Alice said, I had a missed phone call, voice mail, and a text message. I listened to the voice mail first and what Bella said didn't surprise at all.
Apparently Shannon must have told her what's going on because she told me I was right, but then I heard Jacob's voice in the background and couldn't help but think the dog is there. Maybe its good that he is there because as much as I hate to admit it he loves Bella too and I know she is safe with him or so I thought.
I couldn't help smiling at the fact that Bella said that she loves me and all my worries melted away for a second. The next thing I saw brought anger to me when I read the text message. Bella stated that Jacob has been knocked out and they are being kidnapped, but she didn't say by whom. I immediately ran down the stairs to inform my family, but when I got down there they already knew what was going on based on their facial expressions.
I must have been squeezing my hand so hard that I didn't notice the phone crumbling to pieces in my hand. I saw Alice's vision of Bella get hit over the head after she sent me the message and lost my nerve. After seeing that I took off toward the direction of Bella's house and my family was not far behind me. We arrived at Bella's house in no time and searched the house. We were all in Bella's living room and there was no sign of anyone else in the house.
Esme broke the silence saying, "What has happened here? Do you guys smell that?"
I had to grip the staircase when I got wind of what Esme smelled. It was Bella's blood and man was it strong. It must have dripped when she was hit over the head. I thought back to that day when I had to save her from James in the ballet studio and he bit her on the arm. I sucked the venom out of her arm in time, but her blood was so appetizing that I thought I wasn't going to stop, but I did.
Carlisle brought me out my thoughts saying, "Edward, you have to focus my son. We must find Bella."
I was brought back to the task at hand rather quickly. I inhaled the room and I noticed the different smells around it.
I said, "Bella and the dog was her along with her two friends from Arizona. There are two scents that I do not recognize."
Jasper said, "It must be the kidnappers."
Emmett said sarcastically, "Duh Jasper. And here we thought it was someone else."
Rosalie smacked Emmett upside his head for acting silly at this time, which I was kind of glad.
Alice said, "That's enough you guys. We have to find Bella before something happens to her."
"Alice can you see her or anything for that matter", I asked.
She looked down to the floor as she spoke saying, "Sorry Edward, but with the dog being with her, I am practically blind. My best suggestion is we try to follow their scent as far as it goes."
Esme said, "Great idea Alice. Let's go."
The scent was first on the streets and then it suddenly was in the forest.
We were running through the forest and following the path of the scent when I didn't notice we were at the treaty line until I came face to face with a huge wolf.
