Chapter 12: Louder Than Thunder

Bella groaned as she came to, Where the hell am I? she wondered to herself. Her neck was killing her, she looked down only to be met with bloody clothes and the sick feeling of her neck being cut. She tried not to move as much as she attempted to see what was on her neck. All she saw was spikes, then she felt the pressure of the her neck being cut. "Ah." she hissed as she tried not to move, the room she was in was dark and she could barely see anything, even with her vampire senses. She could smell something though, it was blood, her head snapped in the direction of it and she ran over to the scent only to be pulled back by the contraction around her neck. She pulled on it as hard as she could but it wouldn't budge, "Shit. Shit." she cried as she desperately tried to find a way to get out of here, wherever here was.

Meanwhile..

Damon lay awake and very much upset with himself for what had happened last night. He was not happy with what he said and he was pissed that he had let her go. He looked at his cell phone, no messages. It was almost 5 in the morning, where the hell was she? Even if she were upset she would have been here already, Damon quickly stood and went into the bathroom. He looked in the mirror at himself and hissed at the sudden pain in his chest. Damon...help me. He saw her behind him in his reflection, he whizzed around in a hurry. She wasn't there, Damon... he has me... He heard in his ear again. "No! No!" he snarled out and ran out of the house and over to his car. He began driving to the place where he had left her, as soon as he got there he was out of the car and sniffing for her. Her scent had faded about a mile west, there was also the faint smell of vervain in ther air around the area that her scent faded.

"Damn it!" he hissed and began punching various trees, his knuckles now bloody were beginning to heal and he was angry. He slumped against a tree and the tears began to fall, his anger fading only to be left with the troubling worry and sadness that he had for Bella. Damon.. he heard once again and turned to find an owl staring down at him. He looked at it closer, it seemed to have Bella's voice. "I'm going crazy." he said to himself, Damon... this way. the bird with Bella's voice said as it flew in the direction Bella's fading scent. Strange enough Damon had no choice, he followed the bird, running to his car and driving with the bird steadily above him.

After about 45 minutes of driving he reached a wooded area, he all but ran into the woods as he smelt Bella's scent again. Come on Come on. He thought to himself as he ran around. Finally he reached a clearing, he sniffed for her and a sudden noise made him sprint behind a tree as not to get caught. He peered from behind the tree and saw a man with a suit on he was tall, with some serious bed hair and extremely pale skin. He looked like, no that can't be... a cold one. He presumed that was Edward and bit his lip to hold back a snarl of hatred for the cold one. He didn't even know him but he hated him already, he waited for the cold one to disappear from sight and he raced in the direction that he had come from. He found himself in a cave, practically a bottomless pit, his head snapped in the direction of a whimper. His heart broke at the sound, it was her, he staggered in that direction afraid of what he might see.

He thought his heart was broken when he heard her, when he saw her he felt the tears prick his eyes like thorns. He stared at her bloody form, she had a chain and collar with spikes wrapped around her neck. Her whole body was covered with bruises and scars, it looked as if she had been whipped with something. He hurried over to her and she looked up slowly, "Damon?" she groaned, "Shh..I'm here I'll get you outta here." she nodded at his words and she hissed at the pain as he began to unwrap the vervain soaked chain from her neck. He also undid the collar and gagged at the sound of the spikes leaving her skin. He'd kill the bastard, he'd kill him after a century of torture. She hissed at the pain in her neck and choked as she felt the wounds bleed, she needed blood and soon if she wanted to heal.

Damon picked her up and ran out of the cave, he was halfway to his car until he was suddenly pulled back and Bella fell from his arms. He looked up to see Edward holding Bella in his hands. "Hello Damon, it's nice to meet you." Edward said with a sadistic smile.
