Edward's POV
Alice stood perfectly still in the middle of our hotel room. Jasper and I were each holding onto her arms. Jasper in comfort, me in desperation. I watched the vision through her head with horror.
My beautiful Bella sat tied up against a rough brick wall. She appeared to be either asleep or passed out. Suddenly her eyes fluttered open, and she carefully took in her surroundings. Her chocolate brown eyes widened in fear, and she began to tremble.
The door to the basement that she was in flew open, and Victoria slipped inside noiselessly. Bella jumped at the sound, and began to look around the wide room in terror. Victoria flew past her, and Bella whipped her head around in her direction. But Victoria was already in the shadows. Victoria was teasing her.
Bella closed her eyes, and her plump lips moved slightly as she mouthed something to herself. Victoria silently crouched in front of Bella and waited eagerly. Bella let out a gust of air, and Victoria inhaled. Her eyes turned a slight darker shade of red with hunger. Bella opened her eyes and shrieked. Victoria glared at my love, and clamped a hand over her mouth. Bella thrashed and squirmed, but Victoria was absolutely lethal. Victoria smirked and spoke in a chilling voice.
" Oh, Bella dearest. You don't actually think that I will spare your life do you?" She cackled in her high pitched babyish voice. Bella cringed at the sound of it. She looked around and her eyes were wide with panic.
" W-why am I here?" Bella stuttered. Victoria threw her head back and cackled again. Bella cringed at the sound again.
" Oh, you poor baby. I forgot how long you were out. Hmm, how do I put this simply... I hate your spouse. I want revenge. I kidnapped you. And now you are here in the basement of a warehouse in North Dakota." Victoria mocked Bella while she paced back and forth across the room.
She was pacing at vampire speed, so she appeared to be a blur of white skin and red hair. Bella began to fidget and tried to squirm away from Victoria, but she looked down to notice the restricting ropes. Bella began to thrash and pull at the ropes in utter frustration.
Victoria watched in amusement at my Bella's useless efforts. When Bella finally stopped thrashing around, her arms, hands, legs, and torso was covered in blood and sweat. Even in her horrendous circumstance, she still looked stunning. The vision began to blur at the edges, and slowly but surely, the vision began to fade to blackness.
Alice gasped, and Jasper grabbed her up in his arms.
" Please, Alice. Tell me what you saw." Jasper begged in a pained voice. Alice began to sob into his chest, and he sat down in a chair with his wife wrapped in his arms securely. I felt a pang of jealousy at the tender married couples encounter. I wished with my whole being that I could be with Bella, with her wrapped in my arms. Safe. I wished that I could kiss her and hold her forever. Never have to let her go.
I walked swiftly out of the door, and across the hallway to Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, and Rosalie's shared room. I knocked once, and the door was pulled open by Emmett. He grinned widely at me and crouched down into a ninja stance. I tried to sidestep him. I didn't have time for his antics.
" No can do bro. You gotta get past me. The protector ninja." Emmett bellowed. I heard Rosalie snort in the other room, and Esme sigh. Carlisle smartly decided to ignore Emmett.
" Emmett! Get up, and let me past! This is important. Its about Bella!" I hissed. At the mention of Bella's name Emmett shot up, and stepped aside quickly. I flopped down on the unused bed, and sighed.
" What is it Edward? Do you have any new information on Bella?" Esme asked anxiously. Carlisle came to stand behind her and put his hand on her shoulder to calm her.
" Alice just had a vision." I said simply. Everyone instantly gathered around me and waited for me to explain.
" Victoria has indeed kidnapped Bella. She is tied up in the basement of some warehouse in North Dakota, and Victoria is torturing her. In the vision she woke up from unconciousness and was disoriented. Then Victoria, that vile woman, started teasing her by running in circles around the room."
"When she made her prescence known, she began to verbally abuse Bella. Bella thrashed around trying to untie herself, and in the end, ended up with cuts and bruises. Thats where the vision cut off." I explained in a rough, pained voice. Esme reached out to hug me, and I let her. Esme was dry sobbing.
" Oh, Edward. I'm so sorry." She cooed. I stared down blankly at the white comforter on the bed. Emmett growled.
" God dammit! I'm going to rip her fucking head off! How dare she touch my little sister! Oh, just wait till I get my hands on her! She will wish that she never messed with the Cullens!" He boomed. Rosalie was just as furious as he was, but was fuming silently.
" Emmett, as much as I agree with you, attacking her is not the right thing to do." Carlisle reasoned. Emmett threw his hands in the air angrily.
" Then what are we going to do?! Sit around in this dumpy hotel and wait until Victoria slaughters Bella?! I don't think so!" Emmett bellowed. I winced at his word choice, and tried to block the mental image of Victoria killing my love from my head.
" We are going to try and find her. Then we will reason with her. If she does not cooperate then we will protect Bella. But we must avoid violence at all costs." Carlisle responded. Emmett growled but said nothing. Instead he stormed out of the room with his wife in tow. Carlisle sighed, and Esme stood.
" We will do whatever it takes to get Bella back, Edward. I promise you that." Carlisle said firmly. I was silent. He and Esme quietly retreated out of the room, and I was once again all alone. I put my head in my hands and let the sorrow overcome me. The sobs shook my body violently, and my chest ached form the force of them. And I cried. Like nobody has ever seen in their lives. I had once again put my Bella in danger. First with James all those years back, and now with Victoria. I couldn't seem to do anything right without screwing everything up.
I dry cried for a good three hours, then sat up ram rod straight. I was suddenly determined. There was no way in hell that I was going to let this go. I had spent too much time in the past wallowing and being depressed over my faults. I was done. That would be the last time I ever cried for another mistake of mine. I was going to fix this. I was going to get the love of my existence back in my arms. And I would end up killing a few vampires in the process. I stood up, and marched into the room with my whole family.
" Lets go." I said. They all looked up surprised, and puzzled.
" Where are we going Edward?" Jasper asked carefully. I'm sure my emotions were messed up and he was questioning my sanity. Quite frankly, so was I.
" We are going to kick some serious vampire ass." Emmett said. Of course he knew exactly my plan. It was actually quite similar to his original one.
" Whose car, yours or mine?" He bellowed. The excitement was prominent in his voice.
" Neither. We're taking the old fashioned way." I replied. A wide grin spread across his face, and he rubbed his hands together in anticipation.
" Excellent." He grabbed his boots off of the floor, and had them on before anyone could notice he was barefoot. Rosalie cackled.
" Hold up. You didn't thing that I could let you pussies tear apart the slut without me did you?" Rosalie was wearing black ankle stiletto boots, a tight black and white dress, a black cropped jacket, and had her hair curled into ringlets. She hardly looked ready to kick someones ass.
" Rose, maybe you better change first." I said. She rolled her eyes.
" No way! I want to deliver death in style. Respect my womanhood Edward." Rosalie shot back. She curled herself around Emmett's side, and he kissed her.
" Lets go babe." He said. Alice jumped up.
" Wait! I want to see Bella. Please let me and Jasper come with you." Alice begged. I thought it over. The more people that we had the easier it would be to kill Victoria.
" Alright." I sighed. Alice smiled, and danced over to my side. Jasper followed her.
" Alice, perhaps you better change." I said. Alice was of course wearing a light pink dress with a white jacket, and heels.
" Don't even say anything. I am not wearing those ugly ass hiking boots. I prefer to deliver death in style as Rosalie said before." Alice said with a straight face. I sighed.
" Now, wait just a minute. What do you all intend to do?" Carlisle asked me.
" Get Bella back home safely, and kill anything one or thing in the way." I replied shortly. Carlisle sighed.
" Alright then. Be safe." Esme and Carlisle said. I grinned.
" I will. I love you both. When we get back we will have Bella. I promise." I said. After we all hugged Carlisle and Esme, we were off. I couldn't help the grin of anticipation that spread across my face as we flew threw New Jersey. I was going to get her back. No matter what the price.
