"Alice." I hissed grabbing her wrists. She could tell I was holding my breath, she quickly glanced at Edward who was arguing with a woman at the ticket counter. We were at the airport trying to get the next flight out. My rage took over my body, and I had no control. The burning in my throat was becoming more unbearable with each passing human. Alice wrapped her arms tightly around me.
"Try to relax." She whispered, her voice nervous.
"I… don't think I can." I pulled away from her stepping towards a guy around my age, who was having trouble zippering his duffel bag. His scent was the strongest. I wanted to kill him, and I didn't care who was watching. I needed to take my anger out on someone, and he smelt so good. I felt the venom filling my mouth as I stepped behind him.
"Bella!" Alice yelled pulling me back. I pushed her off of me, and froze when the guy turned to look at me. I watched as he stepped back and his eyes roamed over every part of my body, stopping when he came to the ring on my left hand.
"Sorry, thought you were someone we knew." Alice said innocently. She tugged at my arm, but I was stronger.
"Hey, no problem." The guy's eyes never left mine. "I'm Brian." He smiled holding his hand out to me. I took it eagerly ignoring Alice's tugging.
"Bella." I smiled widely taking a step closer to him.
"Edward!" Alice called out turning towards him. Within seconds I was being pulled down the terminal. Edward and Alice both had one arm around my waist, and the others were clamped around each of my arms.
"Bella, I know your angry, but control yourself." Edward hissed into my ear. I fought under their grasp, but with the two of them holding me together I wasn't strong enough.
Once on the plane, Edward forced me in my seat ignoring the seatbelt. Alice and Edward both placed their arm across my lap, holding me back into my seat. "I cant sit here!" I said too loud that the woman in the seat in front of my turned around. I glared at her, and she quickly turned back.
"Bella please. It's quicker than running." Alice begged patting my knee with her free hand.
"Can you see anything?" I asked her, making sure to keep my voice low.
"I cant see her at all. I don't even know who has her to look into their reason to have her." Alice shrugged in defeat.
"What about Clair? Didn't she see who it was?" I asked remembering Alice telling me Clair was the only one with Renesmee the moment she was… I didn't want to finish my thought.
"Jacob and Quil tried talking to her, but the only thing she knows is that he was a big scary guy." Alice leaned forward with her hand that wasn't across my lap, and rested her head in it.
"What, what if Edward talks to her! He could see what he looked like through her memory!" I turned from Alice to Edward, "You can see if we know him!" Edward straightened out, and I could see a small glimmer of hope spark in his eyes.
"You're a genius!" Alice grabbed my arms shaking me in my seat.
"Edward, I'm so sorry." I whispered. We've been silent, and in the air for what seems like forever.
"About what?" He asked looking at me. I kept my eyes on the seat in front of me.
"The guy in the airport."
"It's fine. It's natural, we tend to be drawn to the opposite sex when we hunt. It's easier to pull them in. You had him the moment he looked at you." He cupped my chin turning my head to look at him. "Don't worry about it. You were stopped, that's all that matters." He took my hand kissing it.
"We have to find her." I whispered holding onto both Alice and Edwards hands, that were still tightly across my lap.
"We will." They both answered at the same time.
The rest of the flight was silent. The moment we stepped off the plane Esme was there pulling Edward and I into a hug. I didn't want to be embraced, I just wanted to get to work. I pulled away walking towards the doors, not paying attention to anyone else that was there. As soon as I was out the door I started running a little faster than the average woman my age. I could hear everyone else behind me, and when I was out of the parking lot I ran full speed towards my cottage.
"Bella, where are you going?" Edwards voice came from right behind me.
"Home! She might be there!" I called over my shoulder.
Once I got closer I caught the scent of my daughter. I picked up my speed as the cottage came into view. I heard Edward's voice behind me, but I couldn't make out what he was saying. "Renesmee!" I called out bursting through the front door, "Baby where are you?!" I pushed her bedroom door open, but she wasn't there. I turned to run back to the front door, but Edward caught me, grabbing onto the tops of my arms. "She's here! I can smell her!" I gasped trying to catch my breath.
"It's just her scent." Edward whispered hugging me tightly. I pushed away again running for the door.
I caught Rosalie and Emmett standing outside, and I ran up to them. "Their scent! We can follow their scent!" I yelled holding onto Rosalie's shoulders.
"We tried that, there isn't any. The wolves couldn't even pick up on their trail." Emmett said looking at me with pity in his eyes. I ignored him, already running towards Carlisle's house. Once again I heard them behind me whispering so I couldn't hear.
"I think she's going into some sort of shock." I hear Edward whisper. I pushed myself forward, so I didn't have to hear anymore. I just wanted my daughter back in my arms.
The big house came into view, and I gasped when I saw Jacob. I kept running slamming into him. My legs gave out as he wrapped his arms around me. The sounds coming out of me sounding as if I was hysterical crying. I could feel Jacobs tears as they ran down my own cheek. "We'll find her, and I'm going to kill-" Jacob began, but I cut him off.
"He's mine!" I growled pushing away from Jacob. "I'm going to kill him with my own hands."
Quil walked out of the forest with Clair clung tightly to him, her face hidden in his neck. I ran up to them rubbing Clair's back. "Hi honey." I whispered keeping my voice calm. She peeked at me turning her head slightly, and held onto Quil tighter. I felt Edward behind me, his hand resting on the small of my back. "Clair, sweetie, I need you to do something for me." I waited for Quil to assure her she will be ok. When he did she shifted her body so she was looking at me. I took a deep breath before I continued. "You don't have to say anything. I just need you to think about what the mean man looked like. Just think about exactly what you saw." I waited as Clair quickly looked at Quil.
"It will help Ness out honey. I know it's scary, but I'm right here." Quil whispered into her ear. She nodded and rested her head on his shoulder. She shut her eyes, and her body tensed along with Edwards.
"No more." Clair cried out pressing her face into Quil.
"Did you see him?" I whispered to Edward, and I rubbed Clair's back.
Edward nodded, "But I don't recognize him. I've never seen him before. He's tall, very muscular, dark hair. He's a vampire, the girls just ran into the trees, and he-" Edwards lips pressed together in a straight line, his eyes narrowed, and his hands became tight fists. "He just scooped her up and ran. Clair was the first to see him, but he didn't pay any attention to her. Nessie didn't even know he was there." Edward turned punching a boulder behind him till it didn't exist anymore.
"Thank you." I mouthed to Quil. He nodded once and turned to take Clair back to La Push.
I turned to run past the rest of them grabbing Alice and Rosalie on my way to the backyard. "Where did they run into the trees?"
"Bella, we already-" Alice shook her head
"I asked you WHERE!" My voice echoing off the trees. Both Alice and Rosalie pointed to the far corner of the yard. I was over there in a split second. I smelt nothing, no scent, not even my own daughters.
"We think it was another vampire with a power to cover up scents." Carlisle said walking up to us. "We called Eleazar here, and that's what he concluded." My mouth dropped open, and I sat on the ground. Edward was right behind me, and I leaned into him.
"How are we going to get her back?" I asked looking up at him.
"We will find a way," He took my face in his hands, "I will get our daughter back. I promise you." He kissed my forehead.
"We, we will get her back." I corrected him. He rolled his eyes kissing me again.
"We'll see." He stood up looking at Carlisle, "Where do we go from here?"
Carlisle opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Alice's screeching. Jasper held her trying to look into her blank eyes.
"Alice? Alice what do you see?" Jasper sat down on a fallen tree limb, pulling her onto his lap.
"I cant… make it out."
"Try!" I pleaded kneeling in front of her.
"It's a dark room, I think." She paused for a moment shaking her head, "Wait, I see!" She jumped up grabbing my hands to stand up with her. "I know who has her! We have to go now!"
