A/N: Im not sure when I'll be able to updat, so keep a look out. I'll try as often as possible, but can't make any promises. Last chapter was rushed because I was trying to hurry and get it out there. I apologize because I know that it wasn't as good as it should have been. Hopefully this chapter makes up for it.

Bellas POV

No. She was gone.

I ran down stairs and the back door was open. I quickly grabbed the cordless phone and ran outside to the backyard. I looked around franticly and yelled her name. Lights in neighboring houses turned o, but I didn't care, I just kept yelling hoping that she would hear me and say something, anything.

I dialed 911 and continued my search.

"This is 911, what is your emergency?" I walked around to the front of the house but saw nothing there either.

"My daughters missing." I was sobbing into the phone. I collapsed in the front yard with tears streaming down my face.

"Ma'm please calm down. When is the last time you saw your daughter?" Calm down? She wanted me to calm down? My daughter was out there somewhere with God only knows who, and she's telling me to calm down? This lady obviously didn't have kids.

"I put her to bed last night. It's three in the morning and she can't get out by herself." She didn't understand. How could she be so calm and collect? Who knows how many kids went missing because she was too busy telling people to "calm down".

"Ma'm. Special services are on the way..." I didn't catch what she said after that. The last thing I remember was falling completely to the ground crying out her name... Annalie.

I was only half-way conscious when I felt myself being picked up. I heard the doorknob jiggled followed by a "Shoot."

"Back door" I mumbled, my eyes still closed and realization finally settling in. "Annalie.." I mumbled once again, opening my eyes this time.

"Are you okay?" A voice like velvet asked me in concern.

"Where is she? What did you do with her? Where's my baby?" I was fully awake now and struggling to get out of this mans arms. He let me down gently with a confused look on his beautiful face.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Please, let's get you inside and warm." He gently lead me to the back door, which I had left wide-open in my haste.

Once I was inside I dashed upstairs, hoping that everything was just a horrible dream. The man followed me as I went straight to Annalie's room. When I got to her bed I melted. It was real. It was all real. She was gone.

"What's going on?" The man, whom I still didn't know his name, asked in confusion.

"She's gone. I have to find her, I have to find her now!" I began crying and began to run back downstairs before I was stopped. I turned to look at the man, but there was a loud knock on my front door. I hurried down the steps to answer it. It was a local officer. He showed me his badge and introduced himself as Officer Newton. I let him in and he walked into the living room.

"I understand you reported a missing child." He said in a professional tone.

"Yes. My daughter." I said, a little above a whisper.

"I'm going to have to ask you a few questions in order to get the investigation going. And this is?" He gestured over to the man. I had almost forgotten he was even there.

"I... I don't know." I looked at the man with confusion written all over my face.

He looked at me then to the officer, "I'm Edward Cullen. I was driving by from my sister's house and saw this young lady collapse onto her front yard. I just stopped by to help."

"Thank you." I looked into his deep forest green eyes and saw nothing but concern.

"Ok... Edward. I'm going to need you to stay here. Just for standard reasons, I hope you understand." The officer said to Edward.

"Of course officer." He replied.

"What about my daughter. Shouldn't we be out there looking? What if something hap-" I was interrupted by Edward telling me that the officer's down at the police station were doing all they could.

"She'll be alright." He nodded at me.

"Have you noticed anything unusual around here lately, Miss Swan?" The officer turned his gaze to me once more.

"Nothing out of the ordinary." I replied.

"Where is her father? Will he be home soon?" The officer again.

"No. He won't be here at all. I live here alone with my daughter. I don't even know where her father is." I simply stated.

"Have you seen him at all recently? Been in contact with him at all?" He questioned me more.

"I.. I don't even... know who he is officer." I looked down at my feet in shame.

"Alright, " Just then someone came over the walkie - talkie about a crack house. "I'm sorry, I have to go now, but the good people down at the police station are continuing their search."

"Goodbye Officer." I scrunched my eyebrows together in furry. How could someone ruining their life on purpose make him even consider diverting his attention from a missing child? One who has no control over what goes on in their life at the moment?

I sank down into my couch with my head in my hands.

"Would you like me to leave?" It was Edward. I really didn't want to be here by myself. but he was some strange man.

"Please stay. I don't know what I would do if I were left here alone." He nodded at me and sat down on the couch. I would be out there looking for her, but Officer Newton gave me strict orders to stay at home. I don't know why, wouldn't they need all the help they could get?

"I'm very sorry about your little girl." Edward was looking at me earnestly.

"It's not your fault. Besides, apologies aren't going to bring her home." My eyes started misting up again. I laid against the arm of the couch and waited. I waited for a call, a knock, anything.

I tried not to fall asleep, I really did. But the memory of how I became pregnant in the first place overcame me in a restless slumber.
