Disclaimer: I know you have heard it a million times. I do not own Twilight just my own imagination.
A/N: Thanks for all the wonderful reviews that you have so graciously given me. They are much appreciated! Keep em' coming. I also just wanted to say that I am counting down the days until August 2n, when Breaking Dawn is released. (Which has the most fantabuloous cover. I think it's amazing. Go to Stephenie's website for more info). YAY! Also December 12 when Twilight the movie premieres! Gah I'm so excited.
This chapter is about Bella's captivity and ends with a little doosey. (:
I woke up for about the billionth time. The pain kept me from falling into a deep unconsciousness. Each time I woke up Alex was no where to be seen. But He was there this time; it startled me because He was sitting across the room in one of those very uncomfortable metal folding chairs staring directly into my eyes. His stare made the hairs on my arms and the back of my neck stand up.
He was sitting in a small patch of sunlight. He had taken off the dark cloak and underneath was just the same boring black t-shirt that fit a little too well and dark washed jeans. Where the sun beamed off his arms and face it glimmered like a million tiny diamonds were embedded into his skin.
I don't know what expression was on my faced but He seemed to be amused. He slowly got up and walked towards me. My wrists were raw and I was pretty sure that they were bleeding or had been bleeding. I could feel the dry crustiness of the blood. The slight smell made my stomach turn.
He walked about a few feet away from me and pulled something silver out of his pocket. I cringed away, and pressed my back into the steel cold bars of the gate behind me. This just made him grin wider
"Bella, dear, I'm not going to hurt you, only if you or your Edward cause any trouble then maybe I will reconsider. I would love to have a taste of you… not yet though. I need you alive.
While He said this I kept my eyes glued on the silver thingy. Oh. It wasn't a knife or a razor it was a cell phone. It looked like one of those crappy disposable ones you can buy at the grocery store.
He flicked it open and dialed a number. I don't know how many times it rung. But not many. The voice was too low on the other line for me to hear. I only heard Alex's side.
"Why hello Edward."
It was Edward on the other end! There was a short pause on the other end, as Edward replied.
"Well now Edward that's no way to treat a friend."
Another pause. What ever Edward had said made Alex grin.
"Yes. She's right here. Being a good little pet"
a pause.
"Alright" He said in the phone then covered it up with his hand and spoke to me.
"Bella? It's Edward; he wants to talk to you." I shifted a little. "Ah. Ah. Be a good girl and say hi."
"Edward! I'm sorry! I don't know where I am, it's dark and cold. Edward! Don't listen to-!" my words came out in a rushed scream, but Alex cut my off.
"That's enough" He growled at me. Then started speaking in the phone.
"Now, now Edward, are you happy? I gave you what you wanted…"
A pause
"True but don't be greedy. You should learn to share"
Pause
"Haha. You had your turn. Now back to what I called for. I have left you a message."
Pause
"You should know where. If you don't want to see the girl hurt then come alone. No funny business. I will know if you plan something. Don't underestimate me Edward. Goodbye."
He snapped the phone shut and chucked it at the wall a few inched above my head. It shattered into lots of tiny pieces that rained down on me. He had a fiery look in his eye.
"I told you to just say hi! That was very naughty of you! You spoke out of turn!" He charged at me and slapped me across my cheek. The shock of impact made my head hit the metal gate. I whimpered as pain shot through my jaw and a new pain shot through my head just above my ear. I could feel the warm trickle of blood down my neck.
Tears started to trickle down my face. I wasn't only crying for the pain I was crying for my helplessness and my uselessness. Edward was going to come after me. And it would only be a trap. Alex wanted to kill Edward. That was his plan all along and I was nothing but a lure.
"Its time to take a little field trip Bella" He grabbed the chain that bound my wrists and gave a tug. It looked like nothing to him. Like He was pulling the end of a ribbon. I had tried so hard to pull free, so hard my wrists were raw and bleeding. He was stronger than Edward. I didn't want to think about that.
I didn't move to get up or anything I just sat there like a limp rag doll on the hard stone floor. He pulled out a black silk sash and quickly tied it around my eyes. This frightened me but I couldn't do anything about it.
I felt him grab me around the waist and fling me over his shoulder. The pain that shot through my side made me gasp.
"Ow Damn it." It slipped before I could do anything about it.
Alex chuckled, a dark laugh and poked me in my bad side. The touch caused more pain and I choked as my breath caught in my throat.
I felt him start to run underneath me and then the coolness of the night around me. I had no idea of where this monster was taking me. It seemed like hours bouncing occasionally when He jumped to shift my weight. Each time made me cringe in pain. I kept my mouth shut though not wanting to provoke him.
Finally He started to slow and He set me upright but kept a firm grasp around my waist with one hand and my wrists with the other. Hell, like I could do anything to him. I was probably only still alive because He needed me to get to Edward. I was just a prop in some sick play.
He stopped me and swiped the blindfold off. It took a minute for my eyes to adjust to the darkness. The moon was just bright enough to shine a little light on my surroundings. As soon as my brain caught up with my eyes I gasped at the place before me.
I knew where He had taken me….
A/N: I know you probably are like "Man why the cliffy?" Sorry guys. I wanted to. Have any ideas of where Bella is? Well tell me them! Please review or PM me, with you comments and thoughts of Bella's location. Thanks so much. Hope you enjoyed!
