Chapter 19: Lost my Angel

EPOV

"How could you have let this happen?" Emmett had been yelling at me since 3:00 AM when I first got in. It was now 5:30 AM.

I couldn't believe I fell for James' trick. He had someone take Bella while I was distracted. Carlisle asked me to do one thing and I failed at it. I deserve this.

"Emmett, relax! It's not like he could have known. James was thinking of the last time he...ate... and Edward did not want to see their faces. We would all have blocked him out if we had been in his shoes. And he went out there to protect Bella from James, who had previously shown his interest in Bella." Carlisle's hand was on Emmett's shoulder, making him sit in a chair next to Rosalie.

"How come you didn't see anything honey? I thought you were keeping watch on Bella as well as the rest of us." Esme and Jasper were holding Alice while she dry sobbed. She couldn't believe she didn't see this happening.

"I don't know! I was watching her, but it must have been a last minute decision and I couldn't catch it in time...like when Rose..." She sobbed harder.

I tried to feel bad for her but I couldn't feel anything. I felt numb inside, like someone had pumped morphine in me and I was still human and feeling every bit of it.

"Laurent is dangerous. Not only is he a vampire, but his powers could make her do anything he wants." I said. I didn't recognize my voice.

"What do you mean, Edward?"

"Laurent can manipulate others. He can make them believe whatever he wants them too. He can make kings give him anything he wants. He could make Bella..." I still didn't recognize my voice. I did recognize this pain in my chest that was more painful than turning. "All he needs is contact. Not even physical contact. If she looks into his eyes he can make her believe anything."

That's how we were turned...

"What can we do then?" Rose asked softly. She was holding onto Emmett like her life depended on it.

"We'll start searching. Unfortunately we'll have to act like we don't know she's gone when Charlie calls. Emmett, go home, Edward go relax in your room. There's a bed in there now. We were hoping it was going to be used by Bella but...go relax." Carlisle sounded like a general ordering his men into position for a battle.

"This is going to be a long day..."

"So, Edward was home all night and he's still there this morning?" Charlie's voice came thought the phone. We could hear it throughout the living room. I was in an arm chair, waiting for Carlisle's plan.

Alice was trying so hard to focus on Bella but it wasn't working. We didn't know how to force out her visions.

Emmett was with Charlie, Rose had gone over using the excuse that she heard what happened from Emmett. We were all still devastated by the news.

"We'll start by searching the woods around the house, see if a trail was left by who ever took her. They were quiet and gutsy. Or stupid. Either way, I want to get my daughter back before any more psychological damage is done to her."

"Edward, Emmett, and I will go through the forest around Bella's house. If we smell anything suspicious, we'll call. Same goes for you three." Carlisle instructed us. We were going through the forest while the girls and Jasper went through Bella's house and the town for any vampire scents. Jasper could help by sensing if a vampire had seen her of not through their emotions.

"Got it. We have to move fast though. Charlie is going to have his team comb through her room soon and they could cover the scent or destroy it." Alice was already at the door.

"Call as soon as you get any leads Alice. I'm counting on you and Rose." I hugged her and Rose quickly and went to Carlisle's car. His Mercedes wouldn't be seen as much as my Volvo would have.

We got there quickly thanks to Carlisle driving twice the speed limit and started our search right away.

"I met James about 5 miles out. It would have been hard for me to hear or smell anything coming from Bella's house. I go see if I can follow his scent."

"It's been raining, son. You may not be able to find it."

"It's always raining." I ran off in the direction where James had been waiting for me.

Carlisle had been right. I had a hard time finding his scent. It was very faint. I followed it to destroyed car. It had been completely crushed and made to look like a bear had attacked it.

Well he's not a complete idiot...

He knew what he needed to do to cover his tracks. The car didn't smell of Bella, but it had two female scents.

They are the same as the one's he had wanted for...dinner...after the concert...

I called Carlisle and told him of my finding.

"We'll check this car out. It's far, but it does look like it could have gotten through, close enough to Bella. How did you find it, Edward?" Charlie was writing something on a pad and waited for my explanation.

"I came here with Emmett and my father to look for Bella. The others stayed at home in case there were any new developments. I started closer to the house but I knew I probably wouldn't find anything. They hadn't left any traces behind, from what Emmett told me, so they wouldn't be stupid enough to leave anything close. I started walking deeper and deeper, thankful for our weekly hiking trips we've been taking since we got back." I took a breath to look more human. Then after a short break to make it look like I was a little distraught, I continued.

"I found this car. It looks like it was attacked by a bear but it could have happened after it was left. There are some bones but they don't look human to me. More like an animal. But I'm not sure. Maybe they put an animal in there to attract the bear..." I trailed off like any normal human would have done. I was in pain and I let it show.

"I know its hard Edward, but can you tell us if you saw anything else in the area? A shirt or maybe a shoe?" I shook my head at Charlie. I didn't find anything else, even when I ran around for the sixth time while I waited for them to arrive.

"It's not your fault. Some people are just sick." Charlie put a comforting hand on my shoulder. If it had been warmer he would have noticed that I was too cold but thanks to winter, I felt no colder than his hands at the moment.

"Alice, Rosalie, has Bella been confronted by anyone lately? Some girls who don't like her or some guys who look at her with something in their eyes?"

"Every girl is jealous because she's with Edward and every guy wants her. It's no secret; the whole school has been talking about breaking them up. We never heard anything like this though...only planting a bra in Edwards's bag or car or something like that." Alice was held in Jaspers arms. Partially because she needed it and partially because she wanted to hide her tearless face, which wouldn't make sense after her best friend was just kidnapped.

"We'll start interviewing some of the students. Who has been very vocal about their dislike for Edward and Bella?"Charlie asked Rose, because Alice wasn't capable of answering.

"Lauren Malory, Jessica Stanley, Mike Newton and Tyler Crowley. They have been the only ones who have ever said anything to their faces. Lauren and Jessica have been in confrontations with her at the concerts too. They couldn't have done it alone though...This was too clean..." Rose stuck her face in Emmett's chest and dry sobbed.

"We'll get talking to those teens. Claire, get their parents on the line and have them come down to the station. Frank, you and the boys try to gather as much evidence as possible. I'm going to interview the kids."

Charlie left then. We decided not to stick around either. I couldn't take my mind off my Angel. I couldn't even for one minute.

Note: DONE!! It took a couple of days to write, sorry. My computer at home was down so I didn't get to type anything or post. I'm doing this instead of school work so I hope you understand my dedication! Please R&R!
