Note: Hey everyone! I'm getting a few people who are wondering when Edward will find Bella and that they like Bree but hate Laurent. I just want to thank you for the reviews and tell you I love you all. I'm going to try not to wait that long for an update again. Hopefully I won't get sick again and my computer will stop freezing...anyways here's chapter 22.
Chapter 22: Reunited Soon Enough
EPOV
"Taken at Night? Are you sure Alice?" I couldn't believe that they would name themselves like that.
"Yeah...That's exactly what I saw...I don't get how James was able to get a recording studio..." She had just come out of a vision and was still slightly confused.
"James used to be in our band. Riley disappeared at the same time as him. They're probably working together. Laurent can persuade any human too...Maybe they got to produce everything because Laurent made the guy believe he had been paid..." Emmett was in pain from losing the only sister like person he had.
"Whatever they are named and whatever they did to record their songs it doesn't matter. What matters is that Bella is with them. We've seen the pictures. I don't know it she's still human but we will find out when we go and see them. When is the concert Alice?"
My sister closed her eyes and concentrated hard. When her amber eyes opened again I could see the sadness behind them that had been there since she lost he best friend.
"On the 1st...May 1st..." She started dry sobbing. Jasper put his arms around her and tried to console her but even his powers couldn't make miracles...
"They're bought. I just got us front row seats. We'll be bombarded of course; because of the fans of The Cold Ones will probably be near for James. That red head is a bitch, Bella almost knocked her out and broke her face. But she held back. I don't know why she'd be in a band with her..." Rosalie said as she walked across the room to Emmett.
"I don't know why she'd stay there. If she was changed she should have run away. Not stay with them. I just don't like it. There's something wrong about her..."
None of us knew what to make of Bella, James Laurent and the two girls we didn't know being in a band together. It didn't make any sense to us. It was on our minds the rest of the week. On Friday, I'm getting Bella back.

"Hey, Bree...What do you think?" As she turned around my newly-appointed sister dropped the shirt she was looking at and ran over to me.
"Ohmygod! Bella, you are so beautiful! That corset Laurent got makes you look so pale, yet so beautiful! And that skirt shows off your awesome legs and hides that butt of yours!" She laughed as I playfully hit her, not hard, just a tap.
"Well, Bella, I didn't think you could look hotter than when you were human but I'm getting second thoughts now..." I turned to see James leaning on the doorway, licking his lips while looking me over.
"Fuck off. Shouldn't you be off with Victoria" I emphasized his mates name to see his reaction. He smiled which the opposite of what I wanted.
"You know as well as I that Victoria won't be angry with me if I have a little fun. After all, eternity with one person can be long and boring if you're not allowed to have a bit of fun with others. If you feel too...wrong...with me then we could invite Victoria to join. She'd love it and I bet you would too." He had moved from the door until he reached me. I looked him in the eyes. His held lust and want. Mine held hatred and disgust.
"Disgusting. Both of you are disgusting. I'm not into threesomes and I wouldn't do it with you two if I wanted to anyways." I pushed him away forgetting that I was much stronger than him at the moment and he flew through the door and cracked the wall opposite of it.
"Next time, don't enter our dressing room unless you're dying." Bree walked over and closed the door. Her comment had surprised me. Bree had always been nice even to James and Victoria. I was a bad influence!
"I really hate him. I'm glad you showed him that he can't push you around…" She looked out the window, probably saddened by a horrible memory.
"Don't worry, Bree. No one will do anything to you. Not even James and Victoria. Now, I know I look hot because you've been telling me that with everything I try on. It's your turn." I said, walking to the walk in closet full of clothes Laurent had bought us.
I didn't really like that he bought us clothing and shoes and make-up but Bree enjoyed seeing the full closet so I didn't say anything.
"Hey, Bella, do you think The Cold Ones will be there? To support James?" Her question made me stop. I felt a pain in my heart I hadn't felt since I had written the songs. I knew Edward didn't care. If he did come it would be to laugh at me and ruin my life again.
"I don't know Bree. I don't think they'd support James…Let's just say they weren't on the best of terms…" I picked up a black dress. It wasn't too tight, so she wouldn't feel self-conscious. It would hit her just below the knee and had a lace trim on the bottom and around the breast area.
"Try this on. With these shoes." I picked up a pair of metallic silver ballet flats.
"You could even add a metallic silver belt if you want." She looked at me and smiled.
"Looks like someone is kinda into fashion...good thing too cause I have no idea what can go together and not."
"You gotta thank Rosalie and Alice for that. They always tried to get me out of my corset and tight jeans and combat boots thing I've been doing since I was about 9 or so..."
About the same time Charlie started to...
I shook myself mentally and forced a smile.
"You miss then, huh?"
"They were my friends since we were in diapers. It's kinda hard to forget them and start over...Even if Alice's brother never really liked me." She smiled a sympathetic smile and put a hand on my shoulder.
"I wouldn't be so fast to believe everything Laurent says..." with that she turned and went to get dressed.
I just stared at the door.
What does she mean?

"Alright, now are we ready?" I asked annoyed that my sister and Rosalie had taken so long to get ready. They said something about looking Familiar to Bella in case she had lost her memory.
"Yes, we are." Alice came down the stairs with Rose not far behind her. The looked a lot like Bella. They were both wearing a corset, Alice's was a dark metallic purple and Rosalie's was white with some light purple lace on the top and bottom.
Alice also wore a skirt which she probably borrowed from Bella's collection. It was layered, black on top, then under it red, then black under that. Rosalie wore short shorts. Neither of them bothered with warm clothes. The weather doesn't affect us like it does humans.
"Alright then, let's go." I looked from Emmett ot Jasper to Alice to Rose. We would finally see Bella again. All of us were happy.
The boys and I had decided to stick to tight shirts in dark colors and regular jeans.
I'm coming my love...I can't wait!
Note: Okay I know...I'm sorry but I didn't have any more ideas. I'll post the next chapter when I get everything figured out. I hope you guys aren't too mad at me for dragging it out just a little longer, but there was more Bella/Bree friendship going on. Please R&R and I'll update soon.
On a side note, I have started writing my own book. It's not really deep yet, I only started it at 2 AM last thursday because I couldn't sleep. I'll update you all if anything happens with this book. I'll also tell you anything about if I don't finish it lol.
