Chapter 7

I stayed at the Cullen's two nights before my dad insisted I come home. Even Alice couldn't persuade Charlie to let me stay. By then though, I had pulled myself together and was more focused on getting Edward back.

It was a week before we heard anything. "He's fine." William said over the phone, Somehow, he had gotten my number. Maybe Edward gave it to him. "And he will come home soon. Maybe I'll come with too." He taunted. It made me sick.

"Don't hurt him, William." I pleaded.

"He's fine." he repeated. "Would you like to talk to him?"

"Yes!" I shouted, before he had even gotten the m out. There was a shuffling on the phone, then Edward's cool voice came on.

"Bella?" he asked.

"Edward!" I shouted. "Are you hurt?"

"No." he replied. "I perfectly fine. They are taking good care of me here."

"When are you coming home?" I asked, tears springing to my eyes.

"Soon." he said vaguely. It was so weird. It sounded as if everything he was saying was robotic, of they were forcing him to say it. I was probably just being paranoid, though. Even if they tried that with him, he wouldn't do it.

"I have to go now." he continued. "But I promise I'll see you soon.

"Okay." I said. "I love you Edward. Be careful." He hung up without replying.
