Well, finally, here is Chapter 10. I was at camp for a week and just got back yesterday afternoon and I would have worked on it yesterday but, had 55 e-mails to read, 95 of them were fanfics. I am sorry about the cliff hanger, but couldn't help myself. This chapter shall be starting in Bella's POV then switching to Edward's, so this chapter is exceptionally long.
Chapter 10: Lost
"EDWARD!!!!!!!!!" I screamed out into the night. It didn't make sense, one moment he was in a protective stance in front of me, then he was gone, along with Victoria. I looked around, everyone was wearing a puzzled expression, until a strong revolting scent roamed the air. Werewolves.
Not here, not now. Oh god, what are we going to do. All of us turned to Carlisle, who continued to look out into the woods. "We're going to have to side track them," he said. "Alice, and Bella, go back to the house. Emmett and Jasper, go through the woods and act like your hunting. Esme and Rose will go take one of the cars and drive to Port Angeles. I will got with Alice and Bella, incase Alice has a vision. If the wolves find you, call." We all nodded, then went our separate ways.
My mind flooded with questions, where was Edward? Was he ok? What was Victoria planning? My body shook and made it hard to walk, so we ran. Fast. I was very much like Edward, I went almost as fast as him, but still a bit slower. The only thing that seemed to run through my head was my promise.
If I ever saw that bitch again I promised myself, I would rip her to shreds. Time after time I still wondered if I deserved to live, but instantly would remember why. I had him. But, how long would I be able to hold on? All I needed, was a chance. A chance, he would give me. But he was not here. I would not let go, and I would fight.
We arrived back at the house in minutes. The wolves scent had faded but we could hear then howling faintly in the night. Alice sat on the couch, closed her eyes, and tried to focus. I tried using my thoughts to get to him, 'Edward? Can you hear me?' I waited, no answer.
To clear my mind, I headed up to our room, and put on one of Edward's many CD's. I slid on the black leather couch and drowned out everything except the lyrics, focusing on them. I began to sing along, muttering the words.
"We don't have to try
to think the same thoughts.
We just have a way,
of knowing everything's gonna be ok.
We laugh till we cry
read each others minds.
Live with a smile,
make it all worth while.
Make it all worth while.
Life has moments hard to describe.
Feeling great and feeling alive.
Never coming down from this
mountain we're on.
Always knowing we're gonna be fine.
Feeling great and feeling alive.
Never coming down from this
mountain we're on.
The feelings so clear,
and it's crazy up here.
Life is amazing with you on the ride.
We don't wanna sleep,
just wanna stay up.
There's so much to say,
not enough hours in the day.
We laugh till we cry
read each others minds.
Live with a smile,
make it all worth while.
Make it all worth while.
Life has moments hard to describe.
Feeling great and feeling alive.
Never coming down from this
mountain we're on.
Always knowing we're gonna be fine.
Feeling great and feeling alive.
Never coming down from this
mountain we're on.
The feelings so clear,
and it's crazy up here.
Life is amazing with you on the ride.
No time to be lazy,
the journey is perfect.
The pace is so crazy,
the race is so worth it.
I will be with you,
we'll do this together.
Always together.
Life has moments hard to describe.
Feeling great and feeling alive.
Never coming down from this
mountain we're on.
Always knowing we're gonna be fine.
Feeling great and feeling alive.
Never coming down from this
mountain we're on.
Always knowing we're gonna be fine.
Feeling great and feeling alive.
Never coming down from this
mountain we're on.
The feelings so clear,
and it's crazy up here.
Life is amazing with you on the ride.
The pace is so crazy
the race is so worth it.
Life is amazing with you on the ride."
That is when I broke down into dry sobs. The CD continued to play, but I just sat there sobbing tearlessly. This was a very suckish beginning to eternity with Edward. I swear, I was going to kill Victoria. She took away Edward, for all I know, he could be... gone. My love, my fiancee, my heart, my life. I couldn't live without him.
I sat there, for I don't know how long till Alice sent me a vision. It was a dim lit cell, with brick walls. There, was Edward chained against the wall. He looked like he was trying to break out, but couldn't. He gave up. Cuts sliced his wrists from the struggling. "Bella..." he muttered. The door opened, and Victoria came through. Then, the vision faded into an end.
I got up, Alice was in the room with me now. "I know where he is." I said, then sped out the door, Carlisle and Alice calling the others. My only thoughts were, 'I am coming my love.'
Edward POV:
I woke up, screaming and panting. A pain was in the back of my head, but faint. Where was I? I studied my surrounding. Brick walls, gray and old made the walls and my hands were chained to the wall. Then, that night replayed in my head. Victoria had captured me, and I had left Bella again.
I began to struggle to get out. To find Bella and hold me sweet angel in my arms. To feel her soft lips move against mine, to marry the woman I loved more than life itself. I struggled and struggled, but couldn't break free. I stopped.
Slits in my wrists hurt like hell. I was bleeding the silver material that was venom. My head sunk down and I just stared at the ground. "Bella..." I whimpered. Oh god I was going to kill Victoria! Speak of the devil, she entered right on cue.
The one red door in the room swung open, sending a swift breeze through the room. Victoria slammed the door shut and came to hover over me. "Well well well," she spat, "who is the helpless victim now?" She started to laugh. "And to think, all of this for a poor pathetic human."
"Don't talk about Bella like that!" I sneered.
"Oh don't worry," she assured in a wicked voice, "you'll be with your dear Bella soon."
"Don't harm her!" I snapped, ut it sounded as more of a beg.
Victoria began to circle me, "Why should I listen to you? You killed my love, and for that, you must pay." With that, she exited the room. I broke down in dry sobs, chanting my angels name over and over, "Bella." This was all my fault, I knew Victoria was out there and yet I still endangered her. But I didn't give up hope, when I heard a soft voice in my head say, 'I am coming my love.'
In case you didn't know, the song was On the Ride by Aly and Aj. Next chapter up soon. I promise!!
