Hi everyone! I'm back from England, and I'm still struggling to get in the swing of things again, so bear with me. I decided that for this chapter I'm going to one segment, since I've kept you all waiting for so long. I know it's tiny, but I just wanted to get something published, no matter how small. I should be writing another chapter soon!

I could smell Bella even when I walked out the doors of the cottage, but it was vague. It was hard to tell where those fiends had dragged her. I went with my gut insticnt and headed East.
I followed her trail for about 10 minutes through a thick forest, going a little faster every time her scent got stronger. Each second I spared meant one more second Bella would have to endure the pain and torture those savages were inflicting on her. The thought made me push my legs past their limit as I sped through the woods.
I continued this was until I came upon a small warehouse in a clearing. It didn't looked like it belonged there; it looked like it belonged in some industrial, polluted city. I didn't pause to take these details into account.
As I ran in the door, I looked wildly around at my surroundings. There was only one room, I noticed. A big, cold room with concrete walls. Bella huddled up on the floor, shivering. The bone in her arm was snapped clean in two; you could tell even though her hands were binded behind her back. James and Laurent were in a corner, conversing quitely amongst themselves.
"Ah, you came. I knew you would," James sneered, flashing his teeth. I ignored him and ran to Bella's side. I ripped the bandage carefully off her head and removed the vice around her wrists. She gasped with pain as blood flooded back into her veins, which had been deprived much too long.
"Sorry, Bella," I murmured. "Don't you worry. I'm going to take care of everything." She whimpered, and I lightly stroked her cheek.
"Aww, would ya look at that?" James sneered. "Little Edward came back for Bella! How cute."
I snarled at him.
"I don't care how much you want her, you'll never have her," I growled.
Laurent, who had been standing in James' shadow, suddenly stepped forward, his eyes hungry.
"Let's just get it over with now, James. It's 2 to 1, how could he possibly win? And besides, I don't think I can take this waiting much longer..." he cocked his head to the side, the way James often did. How pitiful, James had a sidekick!
"Not yet, Laurent. I think this battle was meant for only Edward and I."
Laurent nodded reluctantly, and stepped back into James' shadow.
"Let's settle this now," I snarled.
Again, I'm really sorry this is so, painfully short, but I promise I will write another chapter soon! And it wil be longer! Do not fret! Oh, and by the way...HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! ;]
