I was being thrown into the truck. It was all happening too fast for my brain to really process what was going on. How had Jacob gotten back onto to campus? Why me? Of course, I was too scared to ask any of this as he drove off. Just as he turned to me in the truck, I was jarred from my nightmare by the sound of pans hitting a floor. I prayed it had all been a dream - that Jacob had never returned to campus. Of course, when I opened my eyes, reality came rushing back to me. Last night had happened, and I was handcuffed to a couch in a small run down cabin. From where I was lying, I could see the kitchen where Jacob was making all the noise. I almost cried as I realized that I was being held captive by him, but I didn't. He was not worth my tears.

I moved to sit up and my body reminded me that I had slept all curled up. Every muscle in my body was yelling at me as I stretched out. I heard several joints pop as I sat up. I was rubbing the sleep out of my eyes when Jacob came out of the kitchen with a glass of water. I glared at him as he approached me. As long as he kept his distance, I would be fine. He offered the water to me.

"Good morning."

I just took the water and looked away, mumbling, "There's nothing good about it."

He sat down on the couch but put some distance between us. I could feel his eyes on me, but I couldn't bring myself to look at him. I was trying to keep my mind on the current situation. I kept remembering the past with James, and I was hoping I wasn't going to be in that same situation again. I saw my dream again, and I finally looked at Jacob.

"How did you get back on campus? Didn't they remove you after the fight?"

He laughed bitterly. "Yeah, but they didn't think about my truck. It was parked in the parking lot with all the other cars. So I just snuck back onto campus. They really should look into a better security system and more competent guards. I'm sure they can afford it."

I sighed and drank the water. Of course, I would be a student at a school that had no real security, and I was betting they had never had to deal with anything remotely like a kidnapping or even just a stalker. I gave Jacob a sidelong glance and cringed as the thought of him touching me raced through my mind. As if he could read my mind, he moved a little closer and reached to pull me to him. I shrunk away and shuddered to even think about his hands on me.

"Sooner or later, you'll let me touch you. We have all the time in the world out here. No one will ever find us out here."

I stifled a sob and tried to not think about being with him forever. Someone would find me, and I was sure they were already on the hunt.

"You're wrong about that. I'm sure they're already looking for me. It's only a matter of time."

He laughed, and I could hear the bitterness in it. He gave up on getting me close to him and stood up. He unhooked the handcuffs that kept me on the couch and headed into the kitchen. I sat there for a minute and thought about my options. I could try and run now, but he did have us out in the middle of the forest. How far would I actually get? Then I thought about getting the truck keys. That would require being close to him though. The thought of touching him made my skin crawl, so that idea was out. I needed to come up with a good plan.

I stood up slowly, listening for Jacob to come back into the room. He stayed in the kitchen, so I decided to hunt down the bathroom. I found it quickly and locked myself inside. I pressed my back to the door and sighed softly. I was trapped in the woods with a crazy man. I felt safe behind the locked door though. At least for a few minutes there wasn't a chance that he could get to me. I moved around the bathroom slowly. I did what everyone does in the bathroom. Before I headed back into the lion's den, I splashed cold water on my face. I had really hoped it would wake me up. Sadly though, I was still in that small bathroom. It was definitely not a dream. I needed to come to terms with that fact.

As I headed back into the living room of the cabin, Jacob grabbed me and pulled me into the kitchen. I went as still as possible when his arms snaked around my waist. Having him so close made me feel nauseas. I could feel his warm breath on the back of my neck as he leaned against me.

"I knew I would have you here with me. It was only a matter of time."

I fought to get out of his arms, but he was a lot stronger than me. I squirmed and kept trying though. Sooner or later he would get sick of me moving so much and let go. I was wrong. I felt him laughing behind me as he held me to him.

"There is no point in trying to get away, Bella. I am not letting go anytime soon."

I grumbled but didn't give up. I definitely wanted out of his arms and away from him.

The day went by so slow. I wanted to go out and look for Bella myself, but everyone was keeping a really close eye on me. It was like they could read my mind; though if they could, I would have been dead long ago. The only one who seemed interested in helping me was Jasper. When we were alone in the common room, he quickly gave me his car keys. He never said anything, but I knew that as soon as we could get away, he and I would be on the hunt. It was nice to have someone trying to help me. Getting away was next to impossible though. As soon as I had the keys in my pocket, Alice was back to sitting right next to me. She was like a human handcuff.

The headmaster had called to let us know the Forks police had called the FBI. The tribal police had joined the hunt for Bella that afternoon. They still had no leads, but they were hopeful about finding her. I, on the other hand, was not hopeful at all. I had a horrible feeling about the whole situation. She was out there with some insane guy, and we were stuck in the common room at school. I had just met someone I connected with, and now I was worried sick over if she was going to be all right. She was alone somewhere and probably scared. She definitely didn't deserve that, no one did. Just thinking that she was somewhere scared was killing me. More than anything she deserved to feel safe, especially since her life had been so rough before. I was sure that the situation was very traumatic for her.

Around dinner time, Alice and Emmett got into a fight about what we were going to have. They had finally settled on going to the grocery store and getting the stuff to make homemade pizzas. Somehow, Jasper got Alice, Rosalie and Emmett to all go together. His power of persuasion was amazing. As soon as they were in Rosalie's car, we were out the door and in his. I drove toward the reservation as he called Alice. Once we were far enough away, he knew he could tell them what our plan was.

"Edward and I are on our way to the reservation," he paused, and I could hear my sister yelling at him. "Alice please calm down. It was either I go with him, or he goes alone. You and I both know he would have snuck out eventually. It is just safer if I am with him."

I had to give him credit; he knew how to talk to my sister. Alice wasn't someone who usually backed down, but by the end of the call she was wishing us luck and told him to call her every couple of hours. He sighed as he hung up the phone.

"Your sister is next to impossible most of the time."

I had to laugh, "Tell me something I don't know. I am surprised she backed down at all."

"Well, I had to promise to call every couple of hours. If I don't call, she'll call the cops. Then we're definitely screwed."

I nodded and slowed as we approached a road block put up by the tribal police. As we came to a stop, an officer approached the car. I smiled at him as I rolled down the window.

"Hello officer."

He looked from me to Jasper and then back. "Where are you boys heading?"

I had to think quickly. "We are heading to the beach. We are hoping to catch some great night photos."

I prayed that Jasper's camera was still in the back seat. If it wasn't, I would have been screwed. As the officer looked the car over, Jasper spoke up.

"We are trying to do a project for my photography class at Moonlight Cove."

As soon as he said where we were coming from, the officer stopped looking at the car and motioned us through. I gave Jasper a questioning look as we passed by the other officers.

He shrugged. "Most of the people in this area associate Moonlight Cove with money."

I perked a brow at him. "And they have no idea whose parents they would be pissing off…"

"Exactly!"

I shook my head as we put distance between ourselves and the officers. Money always talked, no matter where you were. Jasper directed me where to go as I drove. We were heading to the area we had hiked in before. We both figured it was as good a place as any to start. As I pulled into the area we had parked in last time, Jasper called Alice to check in. It was like they were an old married couple sometimes.

As he finished up his call, I climbed out of the car and popped open the truck. The packs from the last hike were still there and ready for use. Jasper was an outdoors lover and always had hiking gear ready to go. We both thought we would take the trails here first then move on to other hiking areas. He couldn't remember which ones had livable structures near them. He had told me that a lot of the trails on the reservation led to old beat up houses or caves. He had spent a lot of time in the woods. We both knew it was a long shot, but it was better than sitting at school waiting for something to happen.

I promise there is a method to my madness. Thank you for the reviews!
