Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. I also do not own the sickening tale of Bella Swan and her love square with Edward, Jacob and her baby, fortunately.

-Chapter Twelve: The Clouds Gather—

Previously:

Alice groaned as she was forced into a vision.

Bella was tied to a stone wall, shrieking insults at something that seemed to be midair. It was dark and gloomy. Alice found it hard to see but when she did her body started to shake.

There on the floor, Harry was clutching onto a blonde vampire with red eyes, gasping and screaming for the nomad not to leave him... sobbing for him not to die.

-When the Storm Breaks-

Capturing the girl was easier enough. Victoria had used her power to make Bella believe that they were the best of friends, that James was Victoria's boyfriend, and that they were all going to the movies, after which the two girls would be going to a sleepover at Victoria's place.

Bella's father, Charlie, looked confused at the dazed expression on his daughters face but reluctantly agreed.

James was now absentmindedly sharpening his favourite knife and thinking about his Harry.

-When the Storm Breaks-

When Victoria's ability wore off Bella was livid, they had tied her to the wall; just who did these stupid nomads think they were?

Well, she would show them. She would show them for good.

She hissed in anger as water dripped down onto her shoulder.

-When the Storm Breaks-

"Bella's in trouble!" Alice yelled, frantically trying to bury the image of Harry and James deep within her mind so that Edward could not access it.

There was a soft bang from upstairs and in 2.4 seconds Edward was standing in front of her desperately shaking her shoulders.

"Where is she?"

Harry softly and slowly walked down the stairs, frowning. "Edward... Who cares? It's Bella."

"Exactly! It's Bella, my girlfriend. We have to save her! God, why was I even fooling around with you?" The small nomad flinched back.

A look of realisation crossed Edward's face. "Jasper!"

A moment later and the blonde vampire had appeared in the room, looking extremely guilty.

"You made up the emotions, didn't you?"

Jasper nodded, "You liked him."

"Yeah, liked not loved, what the hell Jasper, you can't just create feelings!"

"You need a mate," Jasper replied coolly.

Edward glared, "I had Bella!"

"You needed a mate who was a vampire, not some random sleaze," the blonde retorted. "Anyway, you had no feelings of love for Bella either."

"They have her in a cave, 3000 miles west of here," Alice murmured quietly under her breath but everyone could hear her.

In a human heartbeat, Edward was gone.

"Oh god," Harry choked out, "I'm going to go protect my coven."

And then Alice and Jasper were alone.

AN: Laurent would be on a date with Jacob right now ;)
And yet another cliff hanger, you know you all hate me.
