Bella's POV

I read the note over and over and over until I had it memorized.

Your child will be mine.

And I will kill to have it.

Think about it Isabella.

Wouldn't you rather the child live?

You have until mid-night tonight to make your decision.

-Damien.

I was pacing back and forth as Alice kept looking for the future that just wasn't there. Tears fell from my face as I thought what might happen to my baby. Who was this Damien? Why did he want my baby? I heard the door and I ran down stairs. A second later Edward was there holding me close. "Edward read this. We have to do something!" I said shoving the note in his hand. He read it and I tell you, I have never seen him look more like, well like a vampire than at that very moment. Edward picked me up and ran me back up stairs to where Alice was. "What happened?" Edward asked Alice. He even sounded like a vampire.

"It was in the mail. The mailman came and gave it to me. I-I didn't see it. I cant see anything!" Alice said running out of the room. She was taking this very hard. But, I guess for Alice, this was like she was blind. It would be hard on anyone. "Edward. What are we going to do?" I said my voice sounding weak. Alice walked back in holding a tin cup. I guess she wasn't completely blind, I was just about to say I was thirsty. She handed it to me and I drank it. It actually taste good. Talk about weird cravings during the pregnancy. "I don't know. You and the baby will not leave my sight. I-I have to talk to Carlisle." Edward said taking my hand in his. "He is on his way. I called him after I called you. The family will be here soon. I think. But of course I cant see anything!" I felt so bad for Alice. I couldn't help but feel responsible for this.

"Alice this is not your fault. I should have never left Bella." What? "Edward this still would have happened! Wait nothing has happened!" I said. I got a stupid note. Big deal. "Bella please. Let me think about this." I sat down in my rocking chair. This was stupid, stupid, stupid. I could tear this man apart with my bare hands. I wanted him to die. "Why is everybody making my feel like I want to kill someone?!" Jasper yelled from down stairs. "Oh, sorry Jazz." Edward, Alice and I all said at the same time. Everyone came up stairs to the nursery where we were.

"Edward what is going on?" Carlisle asked Edward. He then went on to explain what had happened. They talked about what to do and who this Damien might be. But I just sat there in my rocking chair, praying that my baby would be okay as I watch the seconds tick by on the clock. Time rolled by and it was now thirty minutes till mid-night. "Okay, we will just wait. There is no way we will give up the baby and this Damien cant hurt any of us. It's seven against one. The turn out will be in our favor." Carlisle said. I could see us winning, but at what cost? Would this Damien kill one of us before we got to him? I shuddered at the thought. At exactly mid-night the door bell rang. The mail man was there and handed Emmett another note. The mail man drove away and Carlisle read it out loud.

"I don't like you answer.

Now people will have to die.

I hope I don't hurt you too bad but this must happen."

We all looked at each other confused for a short second. Then it happened. My world ended. Alice screamed out in pure agony. Edward fell to his knees and covered his ears. Jasper fell to his knees as well and called out in pain. And everybody else fell to the ground silent, but you could see the pain in their eyes. "Bella, run!" Edward said in a quiet voice. My feet would not move. And the next thing I know a pair of unfamiliar cold arms grabbed me and ran me out of the house and into the woods at inhuman speed. My feet hit the cold stone floor of a cave and as I looked into the eyes of Damien a smile spread across his face.

"Isabella, Isabella." He sang. My heart was pounding loud and my face got hot. "Isabella. How are you?" He asked as if we were old friends. I shut my mouth in to a short thin line. "Oh come on Isabella. Do you not know who I am?" He asked. I shook my head. "Well, I. Know. You." He said touching the tip of my nose with his finger as he said 'you'. "You and your little friends killed my brother. Yes that's right. James. And then you just had to kill his mate Victoria. What a shame." All the blood rushed away from my face. James? He was dead and he was still haunting me! "Oh now, now calm down Isabella. I am simple taking the revenge that he should have been able to take."

I was scared. He was terrifying. He had long black hair the fell to his shoulders. His skin was snow white and his eyes; his eyes were pure black. "What did you do to my family?" I yelled at him. "Oh I just used there powers against them. Alice is seeing the future of the whole world. Edward is hearing every thought that everyone in the world is making, Jasper is feeling every emotion, and well the rest of them I simply drowned in pain." Tears were falling from my face. "Why?!?" I screamed at him. "Because of your stupid brother?!? Please just kill me. Not my child or my family! Please!" I begged him as I fell to my knees.

"Oh, Isabella. I don't want to kill you. And I most certainly don't want to hurt your child. I want to have your child. Just think of what he could become! Growing up thinking I saved him from the Volturi who killed his entire family. I tried but I just could not save them all. He will do wonderful things to help me over power the Volturi." I guess it was the motherly side of me kicking in or I was going crazy but I ran right into him. I started kicking and punching and screaming at him. I knew in the back of my mind that I was doing nothing to hurt him, but I just could not stop myself. He was going to kill my family. And after I gave birth to my child he would kill me. I fell to the ground after what seemed like hours of hitting him. "Please don't hurt Riley." I said quietly. My child had to be okay. Riley. That was what Edward and I wanted to name him. Riley Anthony Cullen. I could feel myself slipping into unconsciousness as the child inside me kicked hard. "You child will be safe with me, my dear. Don't be afraid. Now sleep. The child is on it's way." He whispered in my ear. Those were the last words I heard as I put my hands on my stomach. Remember me Riley. Please. I thought to him. And though it might be my imagination, I knew I heard a voice say, Always, Mommy.
