Alice's Point of View
I thought not. There was no way that we were going to keep Edward in the car. What was Carlisle planning anyway? He knew that Edward wouldn't stay. So why did he bother telling me? This was all so very confusing. But I agreed with Edwad on one thing. If anyone had hurt Bella they were going to pay. And we weren't going to be merciful.
I could feel Edward starting to slow down. At first I thought that maybe he was beginning to think things through and calm down. But when he came to a complete stop, I knew we had arrived at where ever we were going.
I stepped out and looked at Jasper on the other side of the car. He gave me a quiet smile, and I returned it. But when I glanced over at Edward, there was not a drop of happiness within a hundred miles of him.
"Edward, just stay calm alright. I don't want you to do anything that you'll regret."
"Oh, I won't. I'm not going to regret anything that I do to this Kyler person." Okay, wrong choice of words. But I had run out of ways to try and soothe him. We were just going to have to wait and find out what happens.
"This way. Come." And we all followed Carlisle, quickly and quietly. Anxiety written all over Edward's face.
Bella's Point of View
My wrist were the shackles held me in place had become scared and numb. I let my body hang loosely from it's place on the wall. It's not like I was going anywhere. Kyler was there again. Just checking in on me I guess. He had given up on keeping me alive. And I had given up on living.
"Kyler! We have visitors!" A female voice was heard. I forced myself to look up as I saw a young vampire enter the room. She was thin and wonderfully gorgeous, as all the others. She had short, choppy brownish red hair. And dazeling crimson eyes.
"Skya, what are you talking about?" Kyler had looked up at her, while taking her hand. I figured as much. They were mates in this together.
"Just what I said. We have visitors. For Bella." The tone in her voice wasn't unpleasent. It was almost amused. And Kyler cracked a crooked smile.
"Well then, we should make sure that they are comfortable. And that they get to see their precious Bella." He turned to me and lifted my face up so that I was looking at him. "You hear that? You don't want your friends to see you like this." His hand left my chin and he turned back to Skya.
"I'll go see to them." And then they were both gone.
What? Was Edward finally here? No, that couldn't be. I saw him. He was perfectly happy without me. So why would he come to save me? Why? Nothing made sense to me anymore. And I had given up on hope a long time ago. So this isn't suppose to happen. I'm suppose to die here. Alone. And not make anyone else's lives a living hell. I didn't want to be saved. Did I?
Edward's Point of View
I followed Carlisle quickly, but making sure not to get ahead of him. I wasn't sure where I was going. But fury was all over my face. I wanted to ask him why he had wanted me to stay in the car. He knew that there was no way that that was going to happen. Why did he bother asking? I tuned out everyone's thoughts, as usual. I didn't feel like dealing with extra voices in my head. But then I heard unfamiliar whispers. And I focused on them. Making them louder in my mind.
"Aw, they're here to save the girl. How cute is that. Too bad that she's basically killed herself. I was looking forward to a good fight."
The voice was definately female. And after a while I was able to recognize it. Skya. The shape shifting vampire. The one who had pretended to be Bella. One of the ones who were going to die. By my hands.
Alice glanced at me and I guess that it was obvious by my face. I quickly read her thoughts to see what she wanted to know.
"Edward, what did you see?"
There was no way to tell her here. Not with everyone present. So I offered a suggestion. "Why don't we split up? We could search more ground that way. And probably find Bella faster." I tried to cover up the anger in my voice, and everyone looked at me surprised.
"That might be a good idea." Carlisle agreed. And looked at everyone. "Alice, Jasper, go with Edward. Rose and Emmett. And Esme and me. If anyone runs into any kind of trouble, you are to find me immediately. Understood?" Everyone nodded, and we all went our seperate ways. Alice, Jasper, and me following the sound of Skya's thoughts.
"Edward?" Alice walked up beside me and squeezed my shoulder. I sighed and released some of my anger. Now growing into guilt and worry.
"Skya's here. The one that pretended to be Bella. I heard her thoughts. But just for a fait moment. She said that Bella had basically killed herself. But I think she wasn't serious. I can feel her presence. So I know Bella is stll alive. And Skya wants to fight us."
Jasper looked confused, but he didn't voice anything. Just walked along and nodded.
"So, you're planning on fighting her?" Fear filled Alice's eyes. And I leaned my head down.
"If it means saving Bella. Then yes, I will. I already told you that I will stop at nothing to save her. Even if it means dying."
