Four Hours Later
Emmett, Edward, and Jasper went straight to the house as Madison and Jason stayed at the airport talking to Marcus over the phone. They informed Marcus about flying out to Forks, and are awaiting his arrival.
The guys parked a block away from the house and snuck up to the side of the house. Edward was the first to gain the courage to peek inside.
"What do you see?" Emmett asked, as Edward watched intently.
"What do you see?" Emmett repeated, more sternly.
"James, Laurent, and Victoria are inside." Edward whispered, pulling me and Jasper up to see.
"Call Madison!" Edward demanded, shoving his phone into Jasper's hand.
Jasper stood up and walked away slowly as he dialed in Madison's number.
"Hello!" Madison exclaimed, completely out of breath.
"What are you doing? You sound out of breath." I acknowledged, in a low mutter.
"Marcus plane landed and we just arrested him!" Madison informed me, as my eyes grew wide.
"Well, we're at the house. James, Victoria, and Laurent are each inside with guns aimed at the girls!"
"Watch them, we're on our way! Don't do anything to get them hurt. Don't fire when they're in harms way! You were trained for circumstances like this! Don't let my girls get hurt!" Madison asserted, before hanging up.
Jasper hung up the phone and quietly walked towards Emmett and Edward. After informing them on what Madison said, he continued watching once again.
"We need a plan." Jasper sighed, staring at Alice's panic stricken face through the window.
"We need a distraction." Emmett muttered, impatiently.
"I can be the distraction and Jasper can climb through the window." Edward explained, looking back and forth between Emmett and Jasper.
Edward gathered himself together before scurrying off into the woods. Jasper made his way around the house with Emmett not to far behind. Edward pulled out his gun, closed his eyes, aimed at the tree, and shot fire.
Alice and Bella still sat in the arm chairs, and Rosalie was still passed out on the couch.
"Victoria go check the noise!" Laurent demanded, looking around rapidly.
Victoria pulled the trigger back on her gun before taking a cautious step outside. She looked around as she made slow and small steps toward the forest. Victoria felt a tap on her shoulder, which caused her to jump, drop her gun, and face Edward. Edward pulled his fist back and connected it with her jaw.
"If you talk…you die!" Edward warned, locking the handcuffs tightly around her wrists.
Victoria grinned at me before opening her mouth to scream. Edward pulled his fist back before connecting it with her jaw once again. He was glad this brought him time. Enough time to duct tape her mouth and pull her body behind the first tree in the forest.
"Victoria's still not back." Alice gleamed, knowing something is up.
Laurent glared at Alice before using his gun to go across her head. He looked at James, before motioning for him to go look for Victoria. Laurent began pacing nervously, holding a secure grip on his gun.
"You better hope they are okay. You better!" Laurent growled, pointing his gun at Alice.
"I hope they're dead." Alice growled, as Bella looked at her worriedly.
"Alice just be quiet!" Bella exclaimed, hysterically.
"Yes Alice, just be quiet!" Laurent mocked, grinning at her.
Laurent looked down at his watch, realizing ten minutes have passed since he's seen James, and fifteen minutes have passed since he's seen Victoria.
"Come on!" Laurent grabbed, gripping onto Bella's arm.
"Where are you taking her?" Alice shouted, standing up.
"That is none of your business." Laurent spat, pushing Alice back into a chair.
Laurent opened the front door causing a loud breeze to blow through the house.
"Let my people go! Now!" Laurent shouted, getting no response in return.
It was as if Laurent was talking to himself. He looked around as the wind blew the leaves on the trees and bushes.
"If you don't I will put a bullet through her head!" he yelled, placing the gun against the side of Bella's head.
Bella's bottom lip trembled as she continued to cry. She looked around panicky waiting for someone to come out.
Jasper slid the kitchen window opened, as Emmett gave him a boost to climb through. Jasper unlocked the back door for Emmett to come in, as Edward kneeled behind the bush aiming a gun at Laurent's head.
Emmett and Jasper slowly walked into the living room, and noticed Alice crying into her hands and Rosalie passed out on the couch.
"Alice." Jasper whispered, approaching her cautiously.
"Where's Bella?" Alice exclaimed, jumping out of her seat.
"Rosalie!" Emmett proclaimed, rushing to her.
"She's okay!" Alice added, before turning back to Jasper, awaiting an answer.
"I don't know yet." Jasper answered, truthfully.
"Show yourself!" Laurent screamed, pulling the trigger back on the gun.
Bella began to cry loudly. Edward knew even if he shot, Laurent would release the trigger button in time to kill Bella. Edward sighed to himself before setting his gun down slowly onto the floor. Edward stood up and made his way around the bush with his hands in the air.
"Now Edward-" Laurent started, giving Edward his best grin.
"Say goodbye to Isabella!" Laurent laughed, before his face turned deadly pale.
Laurent dropped to the ground and landed in his own puddle of blood. His gun fell in the same puddle of blood next to him. Edward looked up to see Jason standing behind Laurent, lowering his recently fired gun. Bella fell to her knees, and began to cry hysterically. The front door flew open and out walked Emmett with Rosalie in his arms, and Jasper and Alice right behind them.
