Ok, so I am officially back, for those who are still interested anyway. I realize that the last time I updated anything was back in April, but I'm going to try really hard to finish these stories. I'm not going to rush them though, I want them to be the best quality that they can be. Thank you so very much.

Chapter 7

EdwardsPOV

Bella had disappeared down an alleyway and I waited in the car for a little. I wasn't sure what the reason was for the sudden stop, but I really didn't have a chance to ask her. I started getting antsy after a while and decided to go after her.

The only thing in the alley was a small shack and the back door to the movie theater. I figured the theater was the only plausible place to start looking. I walked through the door and into a hallway. There was a hefty man coming out of another door.

"Excuse me sir, have you seen a girl come through here? Brown hair, big brown eyes, green sweater?" I asked him.

"No, I haven't, but you have to buy a movie ticket to get in here. And, use the front door." He stated with a very confused look on his face.

"Ok, sorry to bother you." I said as I turned back out the door.

As soon as I stepped outside I heard some commotion coming from the shed in the alley. I stepped closer and heard faint voices. They were angry, that was as far as I could tell.

I opened the door to see Bella against a wall and three men in front of her with their backs to me.

I eye the pink blanket in Bella's hand and look around for her daughter.

"Hey!" I yell to the men. I walk forward to the one in the middle, closest to Bella. I push his shoulder, turning him around to face me and grab his shirt. "Where's the little girl."

His face was a mixture of shock and panic, and then he smirked. "Halfway to Canada would be my guess."

"Canada?" Bella's voice broke through the tension. "Why would she be going to Canada?" She said shakily.

"Now now Bella. I can't very well tell you allof my secrets, now can I?" His voice was like poison. I wanted to smack the look off of his face, it disgusted me.

"Take us to her." I said sternly.

He turned to look at me, "And why should I do that?"

"Because if you don't, I will personally snap your neck." I hissed through my teeth. "Who is she with now?"

He chuckled menacingly, then turned his face to Bella. "Victoria"

A look of horror crossed Bella's face. "NO!" She screamed, and then dropped to her knees with her head in her hands, sobbing.

"Who's Victoria?" I asked the man.

"She knows." He nodded to Bella.

"Look, I'm not playing your games anymore..." My sentence drifted off as something on the table caught my eye.

I drug the man with me to the table and picked up the black cloth and inspected it. There was a sheriff's badge attached to the front. I looked up at the other blonde man across the room. "Officer Newton?"

Ooh, cliffhanger. I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter and keep on the lookout for more. :)
