Anyway, read and review! Tell me what ya'll think :)
-Chapter 5-
Edward's POV
"Hello? Sir? Are you okay?" Bella layed a hand on my chest, probably to see if I had a heartbeat. I heard a sigh of relief when she realized I was still breathing and that my heart rate was at normal. Kind of.
"Are you okay?" She sounded like she was on the verge of tears, she was shaking me.
I wanted so bad to get up and hold her and say that I was fine. I wanted to ask her where she went and who took her and why she was out in the middle of the highway and why she couldn't have called someone. But I couldn't. It felt like someone had taped my mouth shut and the back of my throat was all dry. I felt faint.
"I-I'm... ok-okay. Okay." I gurgled, trying to sit up, but was unsuccessful. I lay on the ground helplessly, waiting for something to happen. Maybe sirens will come out of no where and take Bella back to her home.
"Thank god," I heard her breath. My ears were tingling with joy at the sound of her voice. So sweet, caring and full of hope. But she now sounded tired, drained, broken. Like someone had taken everything away from her; and someone has. They took her away from her family and friends and the life she loved and probably made her suffer and do horrible things...
I couldn't think of this right now.
Suddenly, I heard a car come down the road and luckily I was near the ditch or else they would have ran over me. I heard the shriek and protest of the tires as the car yield to a sharp stop right in front of us.
"Isabella!" A loud, deep voice roared. I heard Bella jumped up and gasp, frightened. "What the fuck do you think you're doing?"
"This man almost hit me and now something's happened. I think he fainted..." She sounded as scared as a mouse! She was usually the one always joking around and being sarcastic. Never scared. Bella was never scared.
"I fucking warned you. I let you go out for a walk once, ONCE! FOR TEN DAMN MINUTES AND LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE GOTTEN INTO? WHAT IF THIS MAN KNOWS YOU, HUH? HE'LL KNOW. HE'LL KNOW." I took note that this guy was making sure not to drop any hints of who Bella was and that she her status in the town of Forks was missing.
"I'm sorry, boss. I'm sorry! I'm sorry..." Bella's voice shook.
"Get in the damn car." The man ordered.
"But this man-" Bella protested.
Then I heard a loud slap. I tried to look up, but my vision was so blurry and I couldn't see anything. The after mass of a terrible fainting. All I could hear was Bella whimper and a small sob escaped her throat. Then a faint 'I'm sorry' was heard.
This guy was abusing her.
I attempted to get up, and was successful, despite the slight dizzyness. I jabbed a finger directly at the man. I tried my best to identify him but it was too late in the night to even get a glimpse.
"Leave her alone," I warned.
"Bella... get in the DAMN car NOW!" The man commanded. Watching from my peripheral vision, I watched Bella scurry to the passenger side of the car and get in. With the little vision I had of her, she looked so scared and worried. She even flinched when she slammed the door behind her. God, she's slipping through my fingers again.
"You. You better shut your mouth if you know what's good for you," The man threatened, then his tires protested and then shrieked as I watched him speed off.
Without a second thought and from here on out -my instincts took a toll from me- I hopped into my Volvo and sped right after the car. The car was black, it's an SUV and it had a spoiler too.
I looked at the spedometer and the red arrow was pointed at 80 miles an hour. Perfect. I seemed to be creeping over to the SUV pretty quickly so I knew that this guy was only driving 60 miles, maybe even 50.
My eyes were targetted on that car, the car that was holding my best friend, and the only thing filling my thoughts was Bella's beautiful face and my determination to kill this guy.
I payed close attention to the car in front of me. I was going to tail-gate him. Maybe even scare him enough to pull over and slow down for once. Just long enough for me to grab Bella and keep her away from this kidnapper.
From that point, I realized I wasn't thinking straight and I forgot to release the gas pedal. I didn't slow down, I ended up ramming into the back of the black SUV and all I felt was the car tumble down what seemed like a very large hill.
One flip, two flips and then a third. The car landed on it's roof and I realized I was at the bottom of the hill. The only thing keeping me in my place was the seatbelt. Otherwise I would have fallen and hit myself on the roof of this upside-down car.
My mind was swirling and I felt something hot and sticky trickle down my neck. I opened my eyes, trying to figure out where I am.
My vision was spotty and blurry. I think I was hearing things and hallucinating because I swear I heard an angel come after me.
"Oh my gosh! No!" The angel cried, the voice getting a little louder as each word was pronounced. Then there was a tap on my window. "Ed-Edward?" The voice whimpered, broken. How can do this to an Angel? Scare them?
I couldn't take it anymore...
I passed out.
