Chapter 2: Taken
A Month or so Later
Bella POV:
Things have gotten weird, to say the least. The Volturi have come out of their hiding and announced their presence to the world. Their reason: to experiment on humans and create a slave army. Don't ask me how or why cause nobody knows. The disappearances of so many people became too hard to cover up, so they let the whole world know what was what. This was one of the few times I was happy I already knew about the existence of vampires, it saved me a lot of head troubles. Pretty much all of Europe, Africa, and Asia are in a state of emergency over it all since they've been hit the hardest. The scary part is, it doesn't appear as though they are trying to take over, they're just taking people. People who end up being found dead weeks later on various shores.
But I'm not worried. For one, I am living in Washington. Not even close to where the last disappearances have been (I think the latest was around New York?). And secondly, my boyfriend happens to be a badass shapeshifter. Yep. Turns out those legends about the Quileutes were all true. My best friend Jacob Black happened to be a shapeshifting wolf. Don't ask me how we started dating, it just kind of happened. It was easy, Jacob makes me happy and he makes me laugh. I know he can protect me but he doesn't treat me like some porcelain doll like Edward did. With Jake I can actually picture a future with him, and it's nice. I figured out a while back that my feelings for Edward were just strong infatuation with the pretty boy and his nice family. Jake is real, and I can feel how much he loves me. Do I love him? Yes. But am I in love with him? No. I don't think I'll ever be in love with someone. It just seems like a Hollywood myth.
Anyways, Jake and I decided to catch a movie tonight in Seattle for our big date night. Charlie was out on duty with some gang activity near Port Angeles so Jake wanted to be with me to make sure I was ok. The theatre was pretty warm so I decided to take off my jacket during the movie. When the credits started rolling Jake and I got up and walked out the back entrance as it was closer towards the restaurant.
"Oh shit I forgot my jacket!" I said right when the door behind us latched shut and a blast of cold air hit me. I started to make my way around the building to the front so I could go back in and get it. I am such an idiot sometimes I swear.
"Hey Bells I got it. No need to run around. I got that wolf energy remember?" He winked at me, "Stay put I'll be right back my lady." I giggled as I watched him jog around the building. Like I said, Jake makes me laugh. I leaned against the side of the structure thinking about him and our future. It brought a smile to my face.
Suddenly I heard loud screeching of tires next to me. I jumped up from my position trying to get away from the sound and towards a more lighted surrounding. But a voice stopped me dead in my tracks.
"Oh there's no use in running my dear. You do smell quite delicious. I hope I can contain myself before you make it to Volterra." I knew that no human could ever talk with that perfect tone. I turned to face shining crimson eyes of a man I could only assume was from the Volturi. Before I even had time to think about running, he had my hands tied and a firm grip on my neck that stopped me from screaming. Just as he was shoving me into a windowless van (cliché right?) I saw the face of Jacob Black running towards me as fast as he could.
"BELLA!" He wasn't close enough and I knew. The man who had a hold of me sneered at him and slammed the van door shut just as we went screeching off. Jake was the last thing I saw before they put a bag over my head. He was the last thing I saw for a while in fact.
