Please review and enjoy!

Chapter 26

We continued to drive onwards; the direction I didn't know. I was completely bored. Other people in my situation would probably be fearing for their lives, but I was completely calm. No wait, I was bored.

I let out a few sighs, each time looking at Sophie or Jenna to see their reaction.

"For crying out loud! Shut up!" Jenna finally yelled.

"I do get bored once in a while. I'm looking for entertainment," I told her, my voice clearly showing my boredom.

"Why you little…" she started. I was rather enjoying myself now. I found I liked annoying her. She composed herself and gave me a devilish grin. "Let's play a game then. Let's play how many times we can cut you before one of us decides to feed," she hissed.

Alarm bells went off inside my head but I didn't show it. I wasn't about to give her the satisfaction of scaring me.

"Oh, I've never heard of that game," I said sarcastically.

Sophie sighed, exasperated. "That's because it's not a real game. Seriously Bella, I'm starting to think you are really stupid." She rolled her eyes and turned away while I stared at her dumbfounded. I looked at Jenna and she shook her head.

"Are we nearly there yet?" I asked. I may not have the longest legs but I needed to get out of the car.

"Yes, actually." I looked out the window. It was so dark I couldn't actually see anything.

They stopped the car and led me into a building. It had mirrors along the walls and a pole along it. It was a dance studio.

I had always wanted to take dance lessons, but because of my busy schedule, I only got to do one year of it. I ran to the pole and started stretching on it. I used to love ballet. I was not scared of the three vampires looking at me hungrily as I accidentally exposed my neck.

"Into the cupboard, Bella, as we figure out our next move," Jenna said, as she forced me through a door and then slammed it. I sighed and looked around the room. There was a bunch of costumes in a box. It looked quite comfy to lie on so I spread them out and lay on them. I wondered what the time was. I took my cell out my bra to look at the time, 1am. I then put it back. I closed my eyes and sighed, figuring I should probably go to sleep. My eyes snapped open in realisation as I just remembered I had my cell in my bra all the time. I had my cell!

My brain went into over drive. How could I use it? Would they find out I had it?

No they couldn't know I had it, they would have taken it off me. I peeked out the door to see Jenna and Steve in a heated discussion. Sophie was running over to the far side of the hall where there was a CD player. She turned it on and started dancing around. Jenna gave he a disgusted look but didn't tell her to turn it off. I figured that now was my chance.

But what could I say? Hey Edward, I'm safe, but I still have no clue where I am. Happy searching!

No. I needed more information.

I turned down the volume on my cell and phoned Edward. I muted it so no one would be able to hear the hilarity down the other end of the phone. I put on a brave face and went out to get my answers.

"Jenna, I have a question…" I started as I stormed out the cupboard.

"Put her back in," she signalled to Sophie. I was grabbed and shoved back in the cupboard. "And stay there with her this time. I don't want her getting back out."

Sophie stayed guarding the door from the inside, which I thought was weird. If I was her, I would be out watching her 'best friend' and her 'mate'.

She just stared at me. I then remembered I was on the phone and should probably try getting the answers from Sophie.

"Where are we anyway?" I asked, as if the question had just popped into my head.

"We're in a dance studio, duh," she answered rolling her eyes. She was turning into a cheeky little bitch and I had had enough of it. But I couldn't be rude or she wouldn't talk.

"Yes, I know that, but where? We were driving for hours and I have no bearings whatsoever."

"Oh, we're in Phoenix. I thought you would have recognized the dance studio. Jenna said you went here as a kid. She wanted you to be somewhere you recognized, or die in the place you should have stayed, something along those lines," Sophie shrugged.

My blood ran cold. We were in Phoenix? A place I knew all the hiding spots in, a place that I would recognize? If they got distracted or left me for a while, I could navigate my way to a safe place. If they didn't smell me, that is.

I may have not been here a lot, but when I was, I was allowed to roam free. This was our base, you could call it. I would shoot a movie, come back here and live until the next movie was. I spent my time in a little woods near my house where I had made a den or a hideout. Nobody knew about it, not even my mom. I smiled at the memories.

"Shouldn't you go out there and see what the plan is?"

"No, I never get involved in planning, the less I know about the plan, the better as Jay always says!" she laughed. I looked at her in horror. They were always so mean to her and she was oblivious. It was awful to stand back and watch it.

"You can contribute, why do you let them rule your life?" I asked her.

"I trust them, whatever they decide. They're brilliant like that, completely trustworthy," she smiled at me brilliantly.

This made my gut twist. Even though I didn't like the girl that much, I hated how gullible she was. If I didn't survive this night, I would at least want to her the truth. Maybe she could avenge my death. I noticed the music was playing but the talking had stopped.

"What are you doing?" she asked as I looked through the keyhole of the cupboard. They were kissing, with Sophie in the next room. My anger spiked.

"Sophie, look through the keyhole," I commanded her, but whispering it.

"But why…" Her voice trailed off as she looked at them through the tiny hole.

"See, I told you they weren't trustworthy," I whispered, victorious.

She didn't say anything. She sat back suddenly and started laughing a bit.

I thought she was going mad.

"No… Don't be so silly. This time, your silliness is amusing," she said, giggling a bit. "Jenna gets… uh… needs from time to time. She just uses Jordan to let out a bit of the pressure until she gets Edward back. This will all go away when you're dead."

I looked back through the keyhole. That wasn't just 'releasing pressure', that was something else. Why was she still going after Edward if she had Jordan? Was anything Sophie was saying true?

"Are you sure?" I asked, not convinced.

"I'm a good friend and letting Jenna get it out. Jordan protested at first but I have him told," she smirked.

"Doesn't it hurt you watching your mate with another woman?"

"They don't go any further than kissing," she told me. It didn't answer my question, it was obvious she wanted to avoid it. I saw her pain looking a them together, but Steve didn't seem to be bothered with kissing her now.

"Maybe we should go out now," she whispered as I saw that they were starting to get a little deeper into the kiss.

"Good idea."

She opened the door with me still against it, so I clattered to the ground. I looked up and they were finishing their kiss, adding a few pecks on the end. I scrambled back into the cupboard with one glare from Sophie and she shut the door. I took my phone back out to see that the call had ended a while ago. Edward must have hung up when he had all the information he needed. The door opened again, so I had no time to lock my phone, just stuffed it back. Sophie was gesturing me out. She needed to figure out where she wanted me to go.

"Thank you for lending me your services, Jordan," Jenna said to him. She turned away with indifference towards Sophie. It was clear she was using Steve only to release the pressure, but the way Steve was staring at her, it was clear he was in deep. He was in love with Jenna.

"Right, Soph, battle plan. We're going to leave here and go somewhere else. Jordan has a place in mind." He nodded in conformation. "So whenever we are ready."

I panicked. We couldn't leave! Not when the Cullen's were coming here to get me. I was about to protest when we heard a voice.

"Bella, I don't know if you can hear this, but we are in Phoenix. Stay safe, beautiful," Edward's voice boomed in the empty hall. Then the sign of him hanging up came. Everyone was deathly still for what seemed like hours. Jenna kept staring at the place Edward's voice had erupted from.

"Is that a phone?" she asked, venom lacing her voice. "Looks like a change of plan then. We'll be staying. But you Bella, won't get to see your night in shining armour again. You'll be dead," she spat out the last word.

"Guard the front and back entrance… MOVE!" she shouted to the other two. They ran to their positions and stood guard.

She walked towards me, her eyes narrowing.

"Right Bella, painless death or non-painless death?"

Then the room exploded.
