Thankx. guys for the reviews. I really like it when you review, it makes my day.

POV: Bella
Near Escape
BPOV
I was frozen at that place. There was no way in hell this was happening. I so badly wanted to turn around ask for help but it was like my body was frozen in that very position, not responding.
"Please, let me go." She sniffed. I don't know what happened but her words caused a reaction inside me, like some one melted the layer of ice by fire. I was just processing those feelings and then I heard a shout, a shout full of pain just that was enough to set me free. The blood which was frozen a moment ago now boiled like anything. I know I can not turn back and call the cops cauz until then it would be too late, also since this place is so dark and lonely it would be sheer luck if I could find anyone to help, also it would be called help if they would be willing to help. I thanked my lucky stars for making dad stubborn and making me carry a pepper spray. I pulled it out and kept in my front pocket under my reach, and slowly I made my way towards them but when they started moving close to her my pace increased.
"Leave her alone!" I shouted as they started moving towards her. I stood there in front of three dangerous men, trying to protect my crushes sister. How ironic!
"Whoa there! I see we have another one." The tall one said, looking in my direction. I heard Jane gasp.
"Bella?" she asked in a hoarse voice.
"Yes Jane, it's me." As I confirmed my identity she tried to run towards me but the big, tall man grabbed her hand and yanked her back.
"And where do you think you are going?" He whispered in her ear making her visibly shiver. Now adrenaline was pulsing through my veins in full force.
"Leave her!" I shouted taking a step towards them.
"Make me" He challenged. That did it. I ran towards them but the third man caught me by hand and held me in one place. When I was little Charlie had taught me self – defense, now is the perfect time to test it. I turned towards him with the most seductive smile I could muster. I could see his expression turn from violence to hunger, I smiled. He kept his grip on my hand but was a bit loose that before. I liked my lips to make his distracted, he fell for it. I took the advantage of his distraction and pulled the can out of my pocket and held it in my hand. I think he noticed my movement as his eyes widened when the can came into view. I fumbled with the nozzle but could not find it. When I looked up, I saw the expression change and without thinking I gripped the can as hard as I could and punched him in the face with it. The impact of my fist was not so hard but the can hit him quite hard, and also by luck as my fist collided with his face the nozzle was pushed and contents of the spray went straight into his eyes.
"Ow!" he exclaimed as he went beck down on his back. The impact was so hard that it made me shake too. I started falling backwards but somehow managed to regain my balance. In the mean time this little act had managed to capture the attention of the other two men, whose faces where not like that of a murderer. Just in time I steadied myself and got hold of the can, ready to be sprayed for defense. They ran towards me, Jane forgotten, but just in time I sprayed the pepper spray into their eyes. The both muttered some swear words and screeched.
"JANE, RUN!" I screamed on top of my lungs, but she did not move. It was like she was frozen or something, but I did not have time for all of this. I ran towards her, grabbed her wrists and pulled her along with me. In the mean time one of the men had slightly recovered and grabbed her arm. She screamed and winced in pain. This time I held onto Jane for support as I kicked the man right in the middle of his legs.
"WHAT THE…" He shouted as he fell down on the floor. I took the chance and towed Jane out of there as fast as I could. Just as we where about to exit the ally I heard footsteps behind me. I had no idea if I had the stamina to fight anyone else so I ran as fast as I can, trying to find my truck, or least a cover. After about running for about five minutes, both of us where breathing hard and I had no idea of where we where. Thankfully after a few minutes I spotted a large bin in a dark, lone section. I quickly towed a terrified and shocked Jane along with me. We hid behind it as we heard voices of the men talking. Nearby I saw a mouse staring at us, knowing Jane's reaction I put a hand on her mouth as she was about to scream. We sat there for abut twenty minutes, but those minutes where the longest twenty minutes of my life as I waited for them to go. Eventually, we heard their voices fading in the background. I let out a sigh of relief. Suddenly Jane started whimpering. I was so focused on hearing their voices that I had not noticed Jane crying silently. I pulled her into an embrace and rubbed circles on her back, trying to soothe her.
"Shh, Jane. It's alright. They have gone, you are safe now." I whispered in a low voice.
"But I am scared." Her voice cracked, it pained me to see her in so much of pain.
"There is no need to be scared, I am here." I said, desperately trying to soothe her.
"What if they came back?" She asked franticly sobbing.
"I will protect you from them no matter what." I vowed. This mad her calm down. After a moment she stopped crying and looked up.
"Thankyou, Bella" She said sincerely, looking into my eyes.
"There is no need to thank me, honey." I responded with a smile as a tear escaped my eye. I lifted my hand to wipe my own tear but I winced as it moved. I looked down only to find a big bruise with blood gushing through it. Blood. I gasped. Jane followed my gaze and she too gasped.
"Bella! What is this….."
"Jane, do you have something I can put around it?" I asked trying my best to keep myself from inhaling the scent of blood. She looked around for a moment and then suddenly she remembered something. After a moment she removed her scarf and skillfully wrapped it on my hand. I winced a bit as it hurt like hell, but I was glad that I got it wrapped before the smell of blood could reach my nostrils. In a few minutes my wound was carefully wrapped in Jane's scarf, but in turn her scarf had been ruined.
"Thankyou Jane." I replied sincerely.
"No Bella, there is no need of you to thank me. You saved me, I should be thanking you for…" but I heard a voice so I put a hand on her mouth to silence her and listened carefully to them.
"Where did they go?" I heard the familiar voice of the big man, a voice I prayed not to hear again.
"I don't know, I think we should stop looking." Another one answered.
"We have to find them, if they got found by someone else we will be in big trouble." The big man argued.
"I am not so much worried of the police as I am of our reputation. There is no one who has escaped us." The other man stated. That's when an idea struck me. I lowered my head towards Jane and whispered in her ear.
"Look at me, and when I give you a signal, you run no matter what. Alright?" She nodded. I went to the other side and picked up and piece of stone and threw it in the opposite direction. This caught their attention, like I planned, and ran. I signaled Jane and she immediately shot out of our previous hiding place and ran towards me and grabbed my good hand. Then we ran together in the opposite direction from them. I tripped a few times but managed to steady myself. Again, after running for good ten minutes we finally made it to a populated place. I looked around to find something familiar and to my utter relief I found my truck. I sighed in relief. But I noticed Jane looked scared and lost, she was standing with her back towards me like she was searching for those people. I smiled and tapped her shoulder. She jumped in horror and let out a small scream, but when she turned towards me she sighed in relief with a hand on her heart.
"Sorry" I apologized. She looked confused at me smiling face. "Looks like we have finally reached our ride." I explained, pointing my thumb towards my truck. She smiled. "Come on, let's go." I said grabbing her hand and pulling her with me. I dug out my keys from my pocket and opened her door for her.
"Bella, why did you do this for me?" She asked from behind me. I turned to face her.
"What do you mean?" I asked, clearly confused.
"I mean why did you face the danger for me when you could have walked away from it? Even after the way I treated you?" She asked looking into my eyes.
"Because you are like a sister to me and a sister never leaves a sister in trouble." I simply replied. Her eyes widened in shock. I didn't know what happened but she started swaging in her spot. "Jane, are you alright?" I asked grabbing her shoulders.
"Heidi…" Was all she whispered as she fainted, landing straight into my arms. I was in total shock as she fainted but snapped out of it as I felt her weight on me. I somehow managed to put her in the passenger seat using only one hand for help. After that I looked for a dial phone nearby, thank goodness it was nearby. I put in some coins and dialed the number. The phone was answered on the first ring like the call was expected.
"Hello?" He answered with worry clear in his voice.
