I was slowly becoming conscious, yet I still couldn't move any part of my body, even my eyelids seemed to be way too heavy to lift. I couldn't remember where I was and I thought I was dead for a second, I thought I would be joining my mother in the afterlife, now that would be very interesting. I miss my mother Renee very much, she was my best friend for a long time, the best mother in the history of the world. When I caught a hold of reality I realized my dilemma, I was being held hostage, and it sounded so surreal. I can't even believe it. I, who had been living with my mother and her husband for my entire life, who had just found out after my mother's death that my biological father was alive, and living in Italy. I remember the day I flew all the way to Italy to see my father for the first time, I remember my surprise when I drove into a city which was named after my father and his brothers, and I remember my astonishment when the driver pulled up to the castle. I was escorted to my room, than given a tour of the castle by my guards, Demetri and Felix. Apparently my father is a very important person, with many admirers but as many enemies. I walked into the dining room and glanced around, my eyes being drawn to 3 men who stood tall and looked powerful. They each had long hair and were wearing expensive looking suits. One of them seen me and stared my way with a bright smile on his face, he looked very intimating. His hair was dark brown and wavy just like mine, his face looked sensitive but defined, and he had my chocolate brown eyes, but with a red tint to them. The man walked slowly toward me, with a smile so big you would think his face would crack, once he reached me, he pulled me in for a tight embrace. He introduced himself as Marcus, my father. He also introduced me to his brothers, the one with straight dark brown hair was Aro, and the blonde whose hair was also straight was named Caius. I was introduced to my cousins later in the day, I met Aro's daughter, Alice and Caius's son and daughter, Alec and Jane. The four of us are best friends, I really miss Alec and Jane.
"Bella, Bella" a soft voice called to me. Who could that be?
"Bella open your eyes," the soft voice called again "please". I squeezed my eyes shut than tried to open them, my eyelids fluttered until they finally focused on the figure in front of me. I flinched and quickly shut my eyes. The green eyes of the person who was leaning over me were those of the enemy, he cannot deceive me with that soft voice of his, I know the kind of person he is now. I let out a sob. How can a man so beautiful, turn around and be so cruel. Was Adonis an evil man? I never really thought about it, but this man could pass as him.
"No Bella, don't cry." Edward said. I felt a gentle hand on my cheek and flinched again. The hand quickly removed itself. He sighed. I opened my eyes, unleashing the tears. Once you let one tear free, they continue to pour out of your eyes. I looked up at him, he was to close. I pushed myself as far into the mattress I laid on as I could. I glanced around the room and noticed I was in a bedroom. I hadn't even realized I have been moved. I looked back into Edwards eyes, and he was staring back at me with an expression I could not read. What was that expression, I didn't look like hate, nor did it look like disgust. He didn't look like a heartless man, he didn't look like a criminal. That blonde woman did, but Edward did not. He looked kind hearted, but I know now that looks can be deceiving.
"Please, Please, Please don't hurt me," I whispered, letting out another loud sob "I haven't done anything wrong, please" He looked at me sadly, I don't even think he registered me speaking, because he just stared into my eyes, searching. He looked at the tears fall down my face, down to my chin than dropping onto the shirt I was wearing. He shook his head slowly, than looked back up into my eyes. He sighed, than took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry Bella, this was not my intention," He stood and started to walk towards the door, he turned to look at me again. "I'm terribly sorry" Than he was gone.
I made to sit up, but I couldn't move my left arm, I heard metal hitting metal. I looked to my side and started crying again. This is really happening to me. My left hand was handcuffed to the bedpost. I let out painful sobs after painful sobs, failing miserably at trying to calm myself down. How could I be so stupid, wandering in an unknown place. Edward was a stranger to me, yet I went and sat down beside him. I assumed he was nice enough, and perhaps he had potential to be a friend, but that was then. I would have never guessed I could ever be in this type of trouble. I wonder what my father is doing right now, he is probably on the phone calling all his big important friends, and hiring private detectives from all over the world. I haven't known my father for too long, only a little over 5 years, we are really close though, he told me I was his life now. His pride and joy. His princess. Fresh tears poured out of my eyes and rolled down my cheeks. I heard a song start to play in the distance, Carrie Underwood's "Someday when I stop loving you" playing from a table to my right. I smiled sadly, I knew that song. Then I realized it was coming from my iphone, which was vibrating on the coffee table. I felt my heart stop and restart, I knew who was calling me and I couldn't believe it.
One foot on the bus about half past nine
I knew that you were leaving this time
I thought about laying down in its path
Thinking that you might get off for that
I set the ringtone last month, when Jacob walked out of my life. And now he was calling me back and I would give anything to answer that call. My best friend Jacob Black walked out of my life because he wanted more from me and I was just not ready for that. He said he loved me, that he always has and he always will. I know I love Jacob, maybe I even could be able to love him in the way that he wants me too. I am just too scared to lose my best friend, plus I never really thought of us being romantically involved. It didn't sound real. And now he was calling me, finally calling me back. And I couldn't get to my phone.
I'll move on baby just like you
When the desert floods and the grass turns blue
When a sailing ship don't need a moon
It'll break my heart but I'll get through
Someday when I stop loving you
I struggled to get loose from the handcuffs, knowing that it was no use. I thrashed my body violently on the mattress, begging for God or whoever was watching over me to let me loose from my personal hell. To set me free, so I can go back to my family in Italy, and also so I can talk to my best friend Jake. My cell phone went quite and I lost hope. I cried again and again till my eyes were burning and probably puffed up. I screamed. The door Edward exited from flew open and the blonde marched in, with the body builder following close behind her.
"What the fuck are you screaming about" she sneered at me and I flinched.
"Please, don't hurt me" I said, closing my eyes tight, willing for this all to be one big nightmare.
"Gee, I'm sorry about earlier," a man's voice said, "It was an accident, honest" I peeked through one of my eyes to see the voice belonged to the body builder.
"Yeah, I asked you to hold her, not suffocate her." the blonde turned her ice cold glare to the body builder.
"Well I'm sorry my past doesn't consist of kidnapping and man-handling women. I'm not Royce, Rosalie" he said and glared at her. He started pacing the room.
"I wasn't implying that you were Royce or anything like him, I was just saying to be more careful next time." The blonde, who I now know as Rosalie replied.
"Yeah, whatever Rose, and there will never be a next time."
"Emmett, I'm just trying to help your family out. That part of my life is over, you are my life now." Rosalie said to the body builder whose name is Emmett.
"Rosie, you're my life now too. I love you baby". Emmett walked to Rosalie and embraced her. They started kissing tenderly. The moment was sweet and I felt like an intruder watching them, but they were actually the intruders, forcing themselves into my life. I hope they get mono for kissing like that. I heard a throat clear, and then Esme walked into the room. Rosalie and Emmett pulled away looking up at Esme who was walking towards me. She sat on the side of the bed and looked down at her hands.
"It's only fair Bella that you understand why you're here. My family and I aren't monsters, we are just very desperate to get Carlisle, my husband back. We are all deeply sorry that you have been brought into the middle of all this…." Esme spoke softly. She took a deep breath and looked up into my eyes, which were red from crying. She looked back down into her lap and started speaking again.
