Welcome back to Chapter 17 of: Missing Person.
I would love to thank my lovely reviewers.
And to those of you who have favorited me and added me to their alerts list.
It means a lot.
I had to write this chapter really quickly. But I have a good excuse! I'm on my mom's computer and it's really slow. My laptop that I used to write with broke due to wire-snapping.
Please have a good read and review.

Edward's POV

When the blonde nurse finally let me go, adrenaline started to course through my veins. It was as if I was overdosed on morphine and could not feel any pain – like I was invincible. But I knew I wasn't and I tried not to get that to my head. I tried to focus on my Bella and how that twisted, sadistic bastard is chasing her or worse… captured her.

Focusing on Bella was as easy as breathing because all you could think about is how perfect she is. Her eyes, nose, cheeks, hair… lips. God, those plump lips that you just want to kiss for hours on end.

Damn, Edward. You just left the hospital and you're about to make a mountain in your pants… calm yourself!

I laughed internally at myself. In the predicament, I couldn't be thinking about how much I just needed her. I had to concentrate on finding her first and making sure that she is alright because who knows what that freak has in mind for her.

And Alice, I had to find out where she went too. That is so unlikely of her to just abandon me without even leaving a note.

I realized I was in no state to run because the pain on my side was almost unbearable. I could walk and maybe jog, but sprinting is something I am not capable of doing yet. So, I whipped out my cell phone and dialed a cab number, remembering that I didn't have my car parked here waiting for me.

It took less than a few minutes for the taxi cab to arrive before I hopped in the back seat and shouted out directions to the calm driver. He punched in Bella's home address that I had imprinted to memory and in less than five minutes, dropped me off at the corner of her drive way. I threw the man a twenty dollar bill.

"Keep the change!" I yelled before he sped down the street. I turned around to look at the deserted house standing before me.

The door was wide open.

Carefully, I took quiet steps towards the door wondering why it's open in the first place. Certainly Chief Swan is much more protective over his house than anyone, right? I mean, he's a cop after all and shouldn't he be all strict with his security?

I peered the dark room and felt a little creeped out.

"Hello?" I called out nervously, wondering if anyone was home.

No answer.

"Hey, Mr. Swan? Bella? Alice? Are you in here?" I frowned, no answer.

I decided to walk inside the house and take a look around before leaving, just in case someone's just sleeping and forgot to shut the door or something.

I went into the kitchen… there was blood on the floor and a gun right next to the traces of the blood. I started to feel really scared and anxious. What the hell happened here?

I turned around and darted towards upstairs. The first room I checked was Bella's. Her door was unlocked, making my search a hell of a lot easier for myself. But no one was there. I then checked Mr. Swan's bedroom and realized that his bed was also untouched, as well as everything else. It was as if no one has been here in the past twenty-four hours… but didn't Alice tell me that Mr. Swan was going to go take a rest while I rest? How peculiar…

I went back to the living room and still nothing has given me a sign of the Swan family or my sister. I decided to call Ali's phone instead.

I heard the dial tone once, two times and even a third. And finally, she picked up.

Or so I thought she did.

"Lovely timing, Edward. So glad you are out of that hospital and back into the real world." Said the familiar voice that sounded like it was in the same room as me…

Bella's POV

"No!" I screamed, as I dodged Boss's grasp. His golden locks bouncing next to his evil features and he lunges for me again.

I look around for something – someone – that could possible help me. But I had come to a dead end. No one was around to save me. This neighborhood could just as well be a cemetery.

"No, please! Stop!" I begged again, as I ran down the side walk, making sure that I used all of my energy in every step that I took.

"Get back here, you whore!" He bellowed, before jumping and catching my arm right.

I screamed, it was a reflex. But I knew I was just wasting my breath. No one would help me.

"Alice!" I yelled, looking in the direction that I thought she had ran off in.

"She's not here, Bells." Boss's menacing voice sent shivers down my spine.

His tight vice grip around my fore armed tightened again and made it feel like he had just clasped too-tight handcuffs on me. I felt my hand swell due to the lack of blood and I tried my best to yank away. But I wasn't even close to getting away.

"Stop trying to squirm, you pathetic girl." He snickered, pulling me in the direction of his black car that I all-too-soon recognized.

"What do you want from me?!" I cried, tears burning my eyes and spilling over, masking my cheeks with streaks of tears.

"You." He sneered before shoving me in the back of his car and covering my eyes with a blindfold.

Isn't that interesting...
Please leave me with your thoughts because I want to know what you think.
I know I have some readers there... would it hurt to review? *puppy dog eyes*
