Chapter 19- Trap

He took her, I'd let him take my friend from right under my hands. I bit back a sob; I felt so weak. I threw my carry-on onto the seat next to me. Edward sat in the other seat by me. " It'll be okay." He told me quietly. I looked at him and chuckled bitterly.

" You're confident eh? How do you know that?" I replied. He shrugged his shoulders and leaned back in the seat.

" Because I know that you won't let him hurt her, and I certainly won't let him hurt her. Neither will anyone else in my family. There's how many of us against him; I think the odds are in our favor."

" You don't know Nicholas, he's truly evil Edward. Even I'm frightened by him."

" But is he necessarily stronger than you? I don't think he is." I smiled weakly.

" Thank you." I whispered. " But you're wrong."

" I don't know, I'm almost never wrong Noleen." He smirked and closed his eyes. I looked at him intently, he was still beautiful. His face still looked like it was sculpted from marble. He still looked like a god. I glanced at the seats behind us; Lanina, Jasper and Travis were seated in the seats. I nodded my head towards Edward and at the same time they all put headphones on. I couldn't help but laugh, I swear it was all in one equal motion.

" I don't know if I can trust you." I finally whispered to him after a few moments. He opened his eyes and looked at me intensely.

" I don't think I would be able to trust me either." He whispered back. He took my hand in his and kissed it gently. Even looking like a bad boy he was a gentlemen. " But I'm asking you to give me a chance Noleen."

" I don't want to get hurt again Edward."

" I won't hurt you. I promise." I groaned and pulled my hand out of his.

" You can't promise that Edward! It's not a guaran-" I wasn't able to finish my sentence seeing as how his lips were pressed against mine in a heated kiss. When the kiss finally broke he smiled and kissed my nose.

" I still love you Noleen."

" I can't go through that again Edwar-" He put his finger over my mouth and shook his head.

" I know, and I swear to you I will never leave you again. Never. And I don't want you to change, I love you exactly how you are. I always have and always will. You're kinda hot as a bad girl anyways." I grinned and bit my lip.

" Think so?"

" Yes I do. So say it Noleen." He looked into my eyes and put his hand on my cheek, pulling my face close to me.

" I still love you Edward." I said softly and kissed his lips. " But it'll take time to get things back to how they were. I'll need time." He kissed me again and nodded his head.

" I have time." I laid my head against his shoulder and closed my eyes. It felt nice to have him wrap his arms around me again. No matter how much I'd try to deny it, it felt nice. And then my perfect moment was ruined when suddenly Lanina broke out in song.

" It's raining men! Halleluiah, it's a-raining men! Amen!" She sang off key and very badly. I rolled my eyes and threw a pillow at her. She smirked and threw it back, making kissy faces at me. My friends suck sometimes.

I knocked on the library door loudly. When no one answered, I kicked it down. I walked inside with a smile on my face. " Oh Aro!" I said in a sing- song voice. He was standing in front of the fireplace, and once I came in turned to me. His eyes were troubled but his face was wearing a smile.

" Noleen! What can I do for you." He replied warmly, walking over to me.

" Tell me where Nicholas lives."

" I can't do that."

" You can and you will."

" Just whom do you think you speak?" Marcus interrupted, tearing his gaze from some book of his. I never liked him, and he never liked me. And we liked it that way.

" I know to whom I speak." I mocked. " I also know I will be very pissed off if my friend dies and you could've helped prevent it. Tell me, who do you think will come after you when they're pissed? Me or Nicholas? And tell me this, who will succeed in killing at least one of you if one of us happens to come?" I snarled. Marcus snarled back. I stepped closer to him and whipped the sword I'd brought out.

" Now now! Put that away!" Aro exclaimed, stepping in between us. " There is no need to get violent Noleen."

" I beheaded one master vampire, I'll have no problem doing it to another. Tell me, how much do you like Jane? Cause she's never really been a favorite of mine."

" He lives in England." Aro said softly. I looked at him and smiled.

" That's more like it! Thanks Aro, buddy of mine! I'll need an address though, not just a country." He nodded his head and quickly wrote it down. Then he handed it to me and I pocketed it. He looked to everyone behind me, all ready to fight.

" I see you have your own little army." He said wearily. I shook my head and inspected him closely.

" What's wrong? What do you know that you want to tell me but fear you can't?" His eyes opened wide.

" How did you-"

" Your eyes. Just answer the question."

" He'll be waiting for you Noleen. You have to know that. You'll be walking into a trap."

" Since when do you care so much about a lower vampire?" Emmett growled. Aro turned his gaze to him and rose an eyebrow.

" I care because Noleen is not a lower vampire." I gave him a questioning look.

" What the hell are you talking about Aro? I'm only twenty years old."

" Yes, and yet you managed to kill a master vampire with a swipe of a sword. Don't you see Noleen?"

" No that's why I'm asking!" He sat me down gently and looked me in the eyes. " No bullshitting Aro." I warned him. He rolled his eyes and sighed.

" You have the abilities of a master vampire." He told me simply.

" That's impossib-"

" No it is not seeing as how you do!" Caius replied out of nowhere. I frowned and stood up.

" I'm not putting up with this. I'm leaving and getting my friend back."

" He'll tell you all you need to know." Aro said. " Everything you need to know." He reiterated. I rose an eyebrow and simply nodded my head even though I had no clue what the hell he was talking about. " Be safe." He cried out to me before the library door was closed completely. I turned my family and was getting ready to talk when I stopped. My family. I thought of all of them as family again, Lin was an exception. When I had changed my mind about them again, I didn't know. But for once, all my bitterness was gone. I was sick of being angry. I smiled and lowered my head for a minute.

" Aro is right. We will be walking straight into a trap. But Nicholas will try to pit us against each other. So, I'm saying this right now. I forgive each and every one of you." I glanced at Edward, who smiled brightly. " This isn't going to be an easy fight, it'll be far from it. But we can survive this if we have no problems against one another and work together." Rosalie stepped forward and looked me straight in the eye.

" I didn't like you Noleen, but I've changed my mind recently. I know you can help me save my sister. So, yeah. . . " She gave me a quick hug and then stepped back to where she was. I smiled and shook my head.

" Ditto." I simply said. Then we left, boarded another plane and headed to England. The whole ride there I talked to Edward. About what'd been happening the last twenty years mostly. That's a lot of time to lose. But, it was okay. Because after all, he had forever to make it up to me.

I looked up at the castle in front of me and said, " Damn!" Everyone else murmured something along the same lines as they looked up at it also. It was huge. It looked like it'd been built centuries ago. Of course while thinking about it, I realized it probably had been. I banged on the heavy door and shouted out, " Yo! Nicholas! Guess wh-" I didn't finish because the next thing I knew we were all falling. He had a trap door as a welcome mat. How lovely. We landed in this dark, dungeon like place. It was dank and smelled of sewer. It wasn't a place I'd like to die in. Which from the look of a couple skeletons; I figured some people had.

" Well. . . This is just great." Lanina grumbled as she stood up. There was huge, iron bars in front of us. It seemed we were in one big cell. I heard someone move next to us.

" Noleen? Lanina?" Alice's voice came out of the darkness. I sighed in relief and nodded my head. Then slapped myself. Duh Noleen, she can't hear a nod.

" Yeah Alice, it's us. And the Cullen's. And Travis. . And Lin. It's the whole gang!"

" Help me!" She cried out. " Don't let him get me!" She cried out and sobbed.

" Alice, don't worry. No one's going to get you." Lanina said softly.

" No, no." She cried out. I walked up to the bars and tried to see what was going on. All of a sudden Alice screamed.

" ALICE!" I yelled. " ALICE HOLD ON!" I banged on the bars. " NICHOLAS LEAVE HER ALONE!" Jasper was swearing up a curse beside me. She screamed again, it sounded horrible. I shook the bars and tried to get them off, but couldn't. " I'LL KILL YOU IF YOU HURT HER NICHOLAS!" I screamed. A laugh came out of the shadows and he stepped out.

" Is that so?" He replied. I growled and all of a sudden the bars blew off, hitting Nicholas square in the chest.

Ooo, that's an evil cliffy ain't it! Hehe. Thanks for reading and reviewing, you know the drill! Let's answer some questions now.

xxiamemmaxx- I can't really say how he knows Alice. That would be giving a lot away. So, you'll just have to wait and see! Sorry!

Defying-Gravity-Girl- Lol, okay first of all Noleen didn't name herself. Annebelle named her that and she just stuck with it. And I know she's different from Bella, that's the whole point of the story. What would've happened if Edward left and she got bitten and was raised by an evil vampire? Which is well, the plot of this story lol. So really, Bella's dead and Noleen's here. Once she was bitten she was " reborn" as Noleen, and she doesn't plan on changing.

animalover0109- lol, yeah. She loves randomness like I do :)

hazeleyedhottie- yeah, after everything she's been through she can't go back to who she was. She isn't innocent anymore and in order to survive Annebelle she ultimitly had to change.

Micah- Yeah, Nicholas is like, one of the worst villians I've ever written. Haha.

ironfaery- Don't worry, I don't plan on changing Noleen's personality. ;) I like it too much. Haha.

melting gold- Again, I can't answer this without giving a lot away. So sorry but you'll have to wait and find out. I know, I'm evil. Damn me! haha.

Hope you all liked this chapter, it was fun to write! Hah, I don't really know why. R&R!

Until next time,

Faith
