Hi guys. I hope you enjoy the chapter. For all of you who wondered what it was down there, I'll explain it in the next chapter. I don't know how this one turned out, so please review and tell me what you think.
Does not belong to me. Belongs to Stephanie Meyer. Only the idea belongs to me.
By the time they found me I was a quivering wreck. Of course this was noticed by my captors. They seemed to find it hilarious. 'Are you scared little girl?' one of them mocked. 'She'll be terrified when we're done with her' the other laughed. I screamed at them, trying to land a punch to one of them. 'Fuck you! Leave me alone' I yelled.
They dragged me up from the cold cellar, my body temperature rising with every step I took. They were taking no risk of me escaping, they held my arms in a bruising grip. 'Get off me' I ordered them, trying my best to wriggle out of their grip.
They pushed me into a room full of men. They were in a circle and I could see a familiar set of blonde hair. 'Jasper!' I cried and he struggled against his bounds. I quickly went over to him, grabbing his face in my hands. "Jazz" I breathed, stroking his cheeks. He moaned, using his eyes to motion behind me. I turned just in time for me to be tied to a chair.
"Isn't love sickenly sweet? It's such a shame that you'll die tonight. Like Romeo and Juliet. Oh well these things can't be helped. Now why don't you tell me who you work for?" Antonio asked, coming from behind me and Jasper. "Hmm! Not very talkative are you? We'll have to rectify that. Jeff" he sighed.
Jeff walked up to me, carrying a small pocket knife. "Such a pretty little throat, I think I'll cut that last. Maybe the arm for the moment" he smirked, cutting deeply into my arm. "Argh! God! Urgh!" I groaned, squeezing my eyes shut. It was painful but bareable. I had no doubt that whatever they were going to do was worse.
"Aren't going to protect your girlfriend? Not very gentlemeny is it?" Antonio chuckled, cupping my cheek in his large hands. Jasper just glared at him, unable to speak. "Jasper!" I warned, staring behind him. Antonio slapped me in the face as Jasper turned. The unidentified man brought the gun barrel across his face.
I gasped as Jasper was unconcious for a few seconds. There was blood running from his cheekbone, which look like it was shattered, and his temple. His face was already beginning to bruise. "Not much to look at is he?" Jeff teased, running his hand over my neck. "More beautiful than a pig like you" I snarled, kicking his legs. He screamed before kicking me in the ribs.
I felt the air whoosh out of me. I struggled to breathe as my lungs pressed against my broken ribs. "What have you told your boss?" Jeff asked. "Wouldn't you like to... fucking... know!" I gasped, vision blurring. "Enough with this, I think you need to meet your friend again and introduce him to Jasper, don't you Isabelle?" Antonio sneered.
What was he talking about? What friend could I have in this group of men? Antonio moved so I could see behind him and I understood.
It was Liam.
We were going to die now properly. Liam had beaten me black and blue before when I was kidnapped with Gabriel. I couldn't be this lucky to escape him twice. "Hello girl, long time no see" Liam leered, looking between me and Jasper with excitement. Oh Dear God!
Over the next couple of hours I was: burnt, shot, beaten up, stabbed, strangled and had a couple more ribs broken. Jasper was a little bit better, he had only got beaten up and burnt once. Apparently it caused him more pain to see me hurt. Wasn't that just brilliant!
I could see Jasper was about to crack. He had a haunted look about him, something in his eyes was remembering this. It wouldn't leave him for the rest of his life. I didn't want that for him. If I were to die I wanted him to get on with his life. Not mourn me because he thought he was to blame.
"This isn't working" Antonio growled and grabbed Jasper. I gasped, instantly tensing over. Which wasn't good. Antonio ripped the gag off of Jasper and untied him. I stared at him, what was going to happen now. "You won't fight back because you can't" Antonio reminded us, getting Liam to untie me. I limped over to Jasper who tried to support me.
Antonio passed a knife to Jasper. "Now Jasper kill her before I do. I won't be so gentle, remember that. I'd make it slow and torturous" Antonio ordered him. I gaped at him, Jasper wouldn't do that. Jasper refused, trying to push the knife away. "Now now Jasper, remember you're Romeo and Juiliet. But only difference, you'll kill her instead of her doing it herself" Antonio grinned.
"I have to, I don't want you to die at his hands" Jasper whispered to me. "What Jasper? No! You can't!" I begged, gripping the wrist with the knife in. "I don't want you to die in pain" he hissed, cupping my cheek. "But Jasper, I will be. I need you and you need me. Please Jasper don't make me leave you" I breathed, gripping his tattered shirt. "Belle I love you more than anything. He will kill you slowly until you plead for death. I can't let that happen" he growled, fisting my hair in his hands.
"I love you Jasper" I cried, kissing him softly. "I love you too" he promised, hugging me despite all our injuries. "Follow me?" I whispered into his ear. "Wherever you go" he smiled, bringing me into a breath taking kiss. It represented all our love, and the promise that yes, he will follow me. I sighed, rubbing our tongues together.
Then I felt the pain, I pulled away and looked at my stomach. It had the knife stuck in and blood was pouring out. "Jas-Jasp-Jasper" I moaned, cluctching the wound. "Sshh love" he sobbed, holding me as I collapsed onto the floor. I shivered, teeth chattering together. "It's cold" I breathed and he shook his head.
I heard a bang behind me but I ignored it. "Hold on Bella, they've arrived. I'm so sorry. So very sorry. Just hold on Bella, you don't have to die. I won't let you" Jasper cried, pressing onto my wound. "Love... you" I told him. "Don't go Bella..." he pleaded before being thrown away by someone.
Suddenly Carlisle's face flooded my vision. "Bella, focus on me" he ordered, as my vision blurred. "Carlisle... Jasper" I groaned, fighting to keep my eyes open. "She's loosing too much blood" he muttered to someone beside him. "Save her" they demanded. "I'm trying, the only thing I can think of is an emergency blood transfusion" Carlisle frowned, but I lost inconciousness. I couldn't stand it.

I booted down the door, letting the agents swarm into the place. I headed for the main room and injuired Antonio. The bastard! I looked around for Bella but I couldn't find her. "Bella" I called, coming futher into the room.
Then I saw her. She was white, blood drained from her face. He was apologising for something and I growled. I saw the knife in her stomach. He had killed her! Emmett had obviously came to the same conclusion because he threw Jasper into a cupboard.
I rushed to her side and grabbed her hand. Carlisle was already started working on her. "Carlisle... Jasper" she moaned. So she was still alive, barely, but still breathing. I stroked her hair back, grip tightening on her hand. "Isabella! You're not allowed to die! That's an order" I growled quietly. Her eyelids kept closing.
"She's loosing too much blood" Carlisle breathed, shaking his head. "Save her!" I demanded, glaring at him. "I'm trying, the only thing I can think of is an emergency blood transfusion" he frowned and I nodded. "Take my blood" I offered as he got out his equiptment. "No it's got to be the same blood group as hers otherwise it will kill her!" he snapped, before looking up.
"EMMETT!" I shouted, getting his attention from guarding Jasper. "Emmett are you the same blood type as Bella?" Carlisle asked quickly. Emmett nodded, crouching down beside her. "We need your blood to give her" I explained and he nodded again. He rolled his sleeves up, gripping Bella's other hand. "Just save her!" he mumbled, staring at his sister.
She was so pale, much paler than I'd ever seen her before. Her being unconcious only made me think she was dead more. She was so frail as Emmett held her up. It truly looked like we were trying to save a dead person. I turned away as Carlisle punctured her chest just before the blood went back to the heart.
"I can't give her no more, Emmett is going to be in hospital as well otherwise. We need to get her to hospital quickly, it's her only chance" Carlisle breathed, as the paramedics helped carry her onto the stratcher. I nodded and Carlisle stopped me going with her. "Do your job and I'll do mine" he reminded me, motioning for Jasper and Emmett to follow him. What! Jasper gets to go even when he was the one that stabbed her!
I growled and quickly turned my attention towards Antonio. "Lets not mess around. Where are the diamonds?" I asked, eyes flashing dangerously.

Than this of Juliet and her Romeo."
