I don't own Twilight

5. The Pain

BPOV

"Swan. James will see you now." The guy said grinning menacingly. I whimpered terrified. Something was going to happen and I didn't have any idea what. I saw Edward looking at me trying to find out what I was thinking. I shook a little as the guy advanced.

"Bella, what's wrong?" Edward asked looking at me with a puzzled expression. Then the guy pulled me up and dragged me out. The door slammed shut. I heard Edward banging on the door but I couldn't possibly do anything. I felt the tears sliding in torrents down my cheeks. I just prayed to live.

…

"Isabella Swan. Pretty, hot, beautiful, charming…..and many more you know." The blond guy said, his eyes roaming my body. I wiped my tears and faced him with a grim expression. I didn't want him to know that I was afraid. His blue eyes were scary. People had always told me that blue was charming but I realized that blue at the moment was terribly scary.

"What do you want James?" I asked him standing stiff so that my knees wouldn't tremble. His eyes widened, taunting smile playing at his lips. The only thing that marred his good features was the scar that ran the entire length of the right side of his face.

"You will be of a lot of use to me." He said tracing his scar.

I shivered at the naked threat in his words. They struck me like ice. I knew that I would probably be used for many things now.

"R-really?" I asked trying to keep the trembling off my voice.

He smiled slightly and his scar twisted up a little giving him a gruesome look. I kept my stance. I couldn't let him know I was scared.

"Bella, tell me what is the password to the Black Industries' accounts?" he said taking a step forward. I froze. So this was what they or he wanted. The password.

"I don't know." I said calmly. I could have predicted this. I was heiress to the Blacks and of course I would have all the passwords to their accounts. I had told Jacob that people would immediately jump to that conclusion.

A strange look passed James' face. I smiled a shaky smile.

"Oh so you are telling me that you don't know." He asked stepping so close to me that our bodies were inches apart. Before I knew it he reached out and slapped me. I froze. The pain was not that bad. The sting lasted for about a minute.

"Isabella, tell me now, what is the password?"

"I told you I don't know." I said letting a mild whine leak into my voice.

He reached out and tore my top off. I brought my hands to my chest shielding myself from his eyes. He laughed and then I felt a terrible pain in my leg, he'd kicked me. I was sprawled on the floor. Only when he shut my mouth with his hand did I realize that I had screamed.

"You will tell me now. You know what will happen if you don't." he said leaning over me. I grimaced.

"I won't. Just threatening me won't get you anywhere." I said screaming again as he slapped me again and again. The screams were frequent now. Before I knew it he pulled my jeans off. I screamed as he hit my legs repeatedly. I felt like dying now. There was pain all over my body.

"Tell me Swan. What is the password?"

I kept my mouth shut. "Oh so you are not going to speak are you?" he asked and I felt my bra being removed. I screamed in pain as his hands moved along with his legs. My skin was being torn. I could hear the tearing sounds. The pain was unbearable. I felt my oxygen cut off as he shoved his tongue down my throat.

I tried to move and then all of a sudden, something hard came down on my head. The pain was gone now. I couldn't see or hear anything.

All was black.

….

I felt hands moving all over my skin. I wanted to tell them to stop but I couldn't. But the hands were gentle and caring.

I heard voices from a lot of distance, but I couldn't hear what they were saying, all of it sounded like a lot of crap.

I felt the pain then. Then all came flooding back to me. James- slaps- dress gone- hurting and then all blackness. I felt terribly ashamed and dirty even though I was in a far off place. I wished to see Edward. Edward's name brought back a flood of memories. I felt like crying but my body didn't seem to obey me.

I really wanted to die. James had probably raped me, just thinking the word made me feel like dying. I was dirty and contaminated. I wanted to die. I really did.

I love you Edward, was the last thing that came to my mind as I was swept over again by the darkness.

EPOV

"Tyler, do you think she's alright?" I asked watching Bella as she twitched again. Tyler looked at me with scared eyes. I shut my eyes and felt the tears stinging my eyelids.

"Its okay to cry you know." He said quietly and I felt grateful for his presence.

"Thanks Tyler for everything you've done for me. I said looking at him.

"It was nothing really, just helping an old high school friend." He said looking at me from his place in the corner.

I raised my eyebrows at him.

"Bella and I studied together at Forks. She was sort of my girl buddy. I wasn't the best looking guy in the world then. Bella was the only girl who ever volunteered to be my lab partner and I guess we became good friends. She was always helping me out of tough corners and I always wanted to help her. I wanted to do something to return all her niceness and then she left. Just like that, with no advance notice. One day she was there, all happy and playful and then the next day she was gone. We had no idea where she went. I was distraught. Then she never came back. I moved on, got over her. I lost all my pimples and then my glasses went off too. I was popular and I guess that sort of went into my head. I forgot everything but I remembered Bella." He said, and I could hear the tears in his voice.

"I'm shocked." I said surprised that he had been Bella's friend.

"I know. When I saw her yesterday, lying on the floor beaten up I cracked. I couldn't believe that James would do something like that. I just picked out one of my shirts and put it on her and brought her here. James was beside himself in his anger afterwards but I told him that if she died he would be in deep trouble. He understood."

I stared. This guy seriously loved Bella. He had laid his life at stake to save her.

"You love Bella don't you?" I asked surprised that I wasn't feeling angry.

He gave out a watery chuckle.

"Of course I do. I would be an idiot not to. But I don't love her in that way. I love like a sister. She means the world to me. I mean she brought me out of my depression and showed me that life was not what I saw it as."

"Once there was a guy called Kyle. He was really good looking and he asked her to go to the dance with him and she blatantly refused. She told him to 'flush himself down the toilet'. She was quite tough then, not so feminine. There were several guys in both the junior as well as the senior school who asked her out and she always went out with me, just as friends though." He said chuckling again.

I nodded feeling that I knew nothing about Bella. She was a mystery.

"Thanks Tyler. I really appreciate your help." I said feeling exhausted.

He laughed. "You'd better sleep and I'll get going." He said before leaving me to my thoughts.

I shut my eyes, the tiredness getting the better of me. I fell asleep almost immediately.

….

APOV (Alice)

I stared at the walls of my house. I felt terrible. Bella was still on the horrid island and I was enjoying the comforts of the house. Jasper was being really nice and all but I just couldn't push back the guilt. The thought that Bella might never return terrified me.

"Alice, you have to eat something." Jasper's honey voice said from the doorway. I shook my head stubbornly.

"You have to feel better Ali. Bella will come back." He said rubbing my back as he slid down next to me. I felt the tears come back. I felt sobs wrecking my body. Jasper held me tightly as he whispered what he thought was words of consolation.

….

EPOV (Esme)

I sniffed into my handkerchief as Carlisle made several calls to the cruise organizers.

I heard his grim voice say many things over the phone but I was too worried to care.

"What did they say?" I asked Carlisle when he turned to look at me.

"There will be now way that we can go over there any time now. There are several storms that are being predicted at the moment."

I cried. My Edward, my son, was stuck in some dumb island and he was probably stuck in the storms. Carlisle pinched the bridge of his nose and I felt another set of sobs shake me. Edward used to do that whenever he was frustrated.

"Its okay Esme, he's fine, I can tell." He said pulling me against him.

…

TPOV (Tanya)

I sung to myself as the nurse slowly took off the dressing on my thigh. The smell that followed was disgusting and I gagged. The cut there was deep and infected. The doctors had applied all kinds of ointments on it and it was almost better. I saw the nurse turning slightly green at the smell.

"Bad cut, miss." She said as soon as she saw me watching her. I nodded and my thoughts wandered back to Edward and Bella. I felt my blood boil at her name. They were doing something behind my back and I was pissed. Bella wasn't even pretty for that matter.

I felt glad that I had abandoned those traitors. I felt really good. Bella was an heiress and all, maybe that changed Edward's mind. I felt anger raging like a fire through me. The nurse looked alarmed at my grimace.

"Miss, did I hurt you?" she asked as she looked at my wound. I shook my head and smile at her. She looked slightly nauseated and I connected it to the wound again.

My eyes fell upon the cast on my right leg. They had put bolts in to keep the bones together. There were to breaks and the doctor promised that I would be as good as new when they were finished.

"Claire." I called and she looked up from my wound.

"When can I go?" I asked her. She smiled kindly.

"Another two weeks or three miss." She said going back to dressing the cut.

I felt bored. I had seen a few guys and been hit on by many. I looked at the hospital gown. It was backless and I felt comfortable. I wasn't wearing anything underneath it. There were many male doctors whose eyes had popped when I hobbled out of bed to go to the restroom.

I continued humming.
