Another semi-short chapter.
In order to get these out more often I have to cut them down shorter than I have been making them lately.
The next 2 chapters will probably be short. And then there will be a long one (which will be the climax of the story!)
I'm sad to say that there are only a few more chapters left guys!
Like 5-ish? Maybe 6.
(I'm trying really hard to get this out before I move…Please don't hate me if I don't make my deadline!)
And as always, Thank you for all your reviews!
Lights! Camera! …Read!
Bella's POV
We're laying in our meadow. He has his arm around my shoulder while I'm lying on my side with my head on his chest.
It was heaven.
His chest rises up filling his lungs and back down exhaling his delicious scent.
"I love you, Bella." He leans in and kisses the top of my head.
I lace my fingers with his and I can almost hear his smile.
"I love you too, Ed –" I gasp as I tilt my head to look in his eyes.
"Edward…" I breathe as I run my fingers over the shadows that lay under his pitch black eyes.
"How..." I trail off.
He takes my hand away from his face and kisses each of my finger tips.
I bite my lip.
I prop myself up and lay on top of him, grinning.
I lean forward to kiss his lips. We are an inch apart, my eyes never leave his.
I feel a breeze, he disappears.
My body falls to the now empty ground of the meadow.
I look around frantically.
"They are the same ones who took Alice."
I furrow my brows, confused at the voice suddenly echoing through the meadow.
I twist and turn to look for the voice. There is no one around.
I stay still to listen for the voice again.
Silence.
I remember Edward's disappearance and call out for him.
"Edward…"
The meadow is silent, no wind, no moving animals, no heart beats, everything is silent.
"Bella? Can you hear me?"
Another voice breaks the silence. It echoes out into the silent forest.
My mind is still set on finding Edward, everything else can wait.
"Edward!" I call out more forcefully. "Please…Edward. Where are you?"
Darkness falls, everything is quiet once more.
I see a flash of red.
His evil laugh sends a chill up my spine.
Alice's POV
"They are the same ones who took Alice."
I gasped.
But why would they be here?
Was it a coincidence?
Are they trying to find me?
How did I not see this?
"Edward…"
I immediately jumped up and kneeled before Bella.
"Bella?" she still had her eyes closed but was now tossing and turning. "Can you hear me?"
"Edward!" she screamed.
I quickly looked in to Edward's future. It was still black. He must still be with the wolves.
"Please…Edward. Where are you?" she cried.
I looked down at my phone for the time.
"Someone needs to go pick up Edward from the treaty line. It's already 1:30. Bella was supposed to pick him up at 1." I announced.
"I'll go call Edward and let him know we're on our way." Esme said. She left the room towards the kitchen.
I looked down at Bella. She looked so pained and worried.
I wonder if she's having a nightmare…
"Alice…"
"Jasper!"
I ran to him and cradled him in my arms. His eyes fluttered open at my touch.
I hugged him close to my body and laid kisses all over his face.
"Oh god, Jasper. I'm glad you're ok! You had me so worried!"
"What happened?" he asked groggily.
"We don't know much, but apparently some vampire with a gift knocked you, Bella and Rose out of consciousness and…"
Suddenly Carlisle's cell phone went off. He furrowed his brows as he looked at the caller ID.
"Hello?" he greeted.
"Hey Mr. Cullen. It's Seth."
"Oh hey Seth. How can I help you?"
"I was just calling to see if Bella was alright…"
Carlisle's eyes widened and Esme rushed into the room.
"Edward isn't answering his phone…" she said extremely worried.
"What…How do you know…" Carlisle asked.
"Well she was late and some lady came to pick up Edward instead. She said something happened to Bella and they took off. It was strange though 'cause they weren't heading in the direction of your house."
"Seth, we haven't sent anyone to pick up Edward yet…" Carlisle looked directly at me with a look of horror on his face. "Oh god. Alice…"
I immediately searched Edward's future.
There was a dark room. A pair of glowing red eyes can be seen from one corner of the room.
"For a moment there, I didn't think you had it in you to pull this off." said the voice with the red eyes.
He laughed and walked out of the room.
The light from the other side of the door shone in before it closed.
It lit up the other end of the room.
Lying across the floor was Edward unconscious bleeding from his lip.
The door closed and a key locked it shut..
"No, no…NO!"
"Alice, what did you see?" Carlisle asked.
"Some vampire…he has Edward locked away in a room. He's hurt…We have to find him!" I yelled.
"Seth, this woman who drove away with Edward, have you seen her before?"
"Um…No, but her scent was vaguely familiar."
"Did you see what she looked like?"
"No I couldn't get a good look at her."
Carlisle sighed nervously and closed his eyes.
"Seth, please contact Jacob. Tell him Edward has been kidnapped. Alice had a vision of a vampire holding him captive and he's hurt."
"Oh crap! Damn it, I should have known something was up. I'll phase and let him know. I'll call you as soon as I know more."
He hung up the phone and took Esme in his arms.
She was sobbing and could barely stand up on her own.
How can this be happening…
"Edward!" Bella screamed as she suddenly sat up on the couch. "Oh God. No! They have Edward! They have him! We have to get him back…Edward…"
"Bella?" I called to her.
She quickly turned towards me.
Her eyes were pitch black.
"Mary Alice, They've taken Edward…they…oh god."
She pulled her face into her hands.
"Bella…" I said sitting next to her. "Who has him?"
"I had a vision or maybe it was a dream, I don't know what it was…" She shook her head. "Edward and I were in our meadow and then all of a sudden he disappeared. I was looking for him…and then…" she trailed of sobbing.
"And then what?" I asked franticly.
"And then I saw them…The two that took you, the ones who killed mom and dad…They…They have Edward. Alice… They have him! What if they kill him too?" she cried.
I took her in my arms comforting her as best I could.
What if they did kill him?
Oh god. I swear if they do anything to him…
"Damn it!" Bella yelled. "My head is spinning, I can barely concentrate. I keep trying to find him…My power is going all haywire. Something's wrong…One second it's working and the next everything is gone."
"Mine too. It keeps coming and going. When I do have it, I can barely feel anyone's emotions. Right now I can't feel anything…" Jasper stated.
"It might be an after shock of being knocked out." Bethany said taking a seat next to Bella again rubbing soothing circles on her back.
"Ugh! That Bitch!"
We all snapped our head in attention to a now pissed off looking Rosalie.
She was lying on the couch with her head in Emmett's lap, rubbing her temples with her fingers.
"Rose?"
"I'm gonna kill her." She hissed finally opening her eyes.
We all stared at her waiting for her to explain. She sat up and glanced around the room once.
"I was out in the garage minding my own business. She came in and said 'I love you Rose. Please don't hate me.' And then BAM she punched me in the face. She fucking punched me!"
"Who?" Carlisle asked her anxiously.
Rosalie clenched her fists and growled.
"Tanya."
OK, so now you know who knocked everyone out! Lol…
And yeah, Bella did say Kate was the only Denali that had a power. BUT that's what everyone else thought, even the Denali's… Tanya kept her gift a secret ;)
Hope you liked it!
Next Chapter will probably be out later tonight, or early tomorrow!
Please Review!
