The Curse of Destiny

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight. I wish I did, but I don't. I own this plot line (originally it was a short story I wrote for a college class and I decided to turn it into a longer fanfiction story). I hope you all like it.

Description: The doctors threw around the term "Stockholm's Syndrome." All Bella knew was that she missed her kidnapper and wasn't sure how to function without him anymore. She needed him and she had to get back to him…somehow. Could she love Edward, the man who had both abducted her and stolen her heart? Could she live without him? Time will tell…

Author's Note: Thank you for those who read, reviewed, and followed the first couple of chapters. I am pleased with the response so far. Many of you think Edward is crazy insane, dark, and HOT. I am glad you agree. You also agree that Mike is a creep and he is!

I decided to update again. I will try to do so 2-3 times a week. I hope you are all happy so far. Please read and review to let me know.

Chapter 3 – Waking Up to a Nightmare

**2 years ago – the night of the abduction (continued…)**

Previously on "The Curse of Destiny"…

"Do you normally take advantage of beautiful girls who reject you constantly?" The velvet voice asks. The voice is no longer gentle. The voice is now angry, low, and controlled and filled with hatred.

Mike answers him. "Bella is mine. Back off man."

The beautiful voice is back and Bella hears just one more sentence before she falls off the edge of consciousness succumbing to the pain of her wounds.

"She is mine. She has always been mine. She will always be mine."

Bella woke up in a cold sweat. She sat up and immediately brought her hand up to her head and sat up carefully. The pain in her head throbbed and made her want to lie down and fall asleep again.

"You may want to take it slowly, you hit your head pretty hard." A beautiful voice said quietly.

Bella squinted into the darkness until she saw a man with bronzed hair and fiery green eyes filled with concern for her. He was sitting in a chair in the corner of the small room a ways away from her. Bella's eyes finally adjust and she looks around the small room. The walls were adorned with pale pink wallpaper that was peeling in several spots making the walls look unkempt and abandoned. She took in the wood floors beneath her bare feet and felt the sharp spikes of wood press into her feet as she considered standing. The threat of the pain of splinters was enough for her to bring her legs up and tuck them under herself on the twin sized bed in the corner of the room. Her fingers smoothed the soft purple quilt that had been covering her.

"Who are you?" Bella managed to ask in a low, quiet voice.

He stood and approached the bed, hesitantly, almost as if he was afraid to be near her. She looked into his eyes and saw affection shining in them.

"My name is Edward…that is all you need to know." He said in his low musical voice. The voice was like melted chocolate or sugary honey. It drew Bella in immediately and then she seemed to remember herself and drew back slightly. Edward paused in his tracks and stood before her.

Bella was overwhelmed with the sight of him. He was gorgeous. His body was lean and muscular beneath his tight fitting gray t-shirt and blue jeans.

She looked around again and felt panic rise in her. "Where am I?" She asked.

Edward smiled at her, but he looked nervous. "You are home," he whispered softly.

Home? She thought. She couldn't understand this man. "This isn't my home. I…I need to go. My parents will be worried if I don't come home. What time is it?" She rambled on and on.

Edward shrugged his shoulders. "I have no concept of time here. It's not necessary. You will come to realize that too in time."

His words made Bella's heart freeze in her chest. "What do you mean 'in time'?" She asked in a voice ripe with fear.

He smiled at her and she could tell he was trying to make her feel comfortable, but he didn't. She wanted to leave. He didn't answer her question and stood up before walking over to a nearby dresser in the other corner of the room.

"I think you will have everything you need in there. I also took the liberty of buying you some books, some journals, and there are some pens as well. I know you love to read and write so I wanted to make sure you were comfortable here."

Bella shakes her head no and looks at him in a panic. "I can't stay here. I need to go home." She says adamantly.

Edward looks at her seriously. "In time you will see things as I do. In time you will understand."

She looks at him in confusion. "Understand what?"

He gives her another smile. "That we are meant to be together, my love, forever. Bella, soon you will see that."

Bella starts shaking and hugs herself tightly to try and keep herself together. "How do you know my name?" She manages to rasp out.

Edward comes closer to her and sits on the bed beside her, making sure to keep some space between them so she isn't too uncomfortable. "I know everything about you."

Terror manages to make an appearance as Bella stands to run for the door in her bare feet. Splinters pierce her feet, but she keeps running. She tries the door, but it won't budge. She bangs on it and looks back over her shoulder to see Edward sitting on the bed looking very composed.

"Escape is futile. There is no way out and if you would ever manage to get out there is nowhere for you to escape to. We are all alone here, my Bella. You and I. The way it is meant to be. Forever."

Bella sinks down against the door and draws her feet up to her chest as his words sink in. She has been kidnapped by a deranged psychopath who has no intention of ever letting her go. How is she going to get herself out of this mess?
