Not my best chapter, but HEY at least it's another update! ;D

Lights! Camera! …Read!


Edward's POV

I opened my eyes and all I could see was darkness.

My head hurt like hell.

I have no idea where I am…

One second I was at La Push waiting for Bella…

Bella.

Where is she?

What happened…

I remember Tanya showing up and saying something was wrong with Bella. We drove off but she stayed quiet. All of a sudden she put her hand on my shoulder and I felt exhausted.

I must have passed out.

But where am I now?

I can't see a thing…

I tried to focus in on the thoughts around me.

Everything was muffed some how.

Like how Tanya's thoughts were…

Tanya.

Did she kidnap me?

Oh god…

Did she hurt Bella?

I tried to lift myself up off the floor but was stopped by a sharp pain on my side.

I clutched my hand to my ribs.

I must have fallen.

My breathing raced.

How will I get back to her?

Will I ever see her again?

Human … plan…awake…yes…

I heard the broken thoughts get closer and closer.

I curled up into myself, trying to sit up.

Suddenly a door opened and a bright light blinded me.

It took a second for my eyes to adjust.

When I finally opened them, I gasped.

In front of me stood a vampire with blood red eyes grinning evilly at me.

But it wasn't just any vampire…

It was one of the vampires I saw in Bella's thoughts.

The one who killed her mother.

"You!" I yelled. "You killed Bella's family…You're the one who took Alice!"

His grin twitched into a hard line.

"Interesting." His voice was eerie and deep. It sent a chill up my spine.

"Why am I here? Where is Bella?"

He laughed and rushed closer to me, only a foot away.

Instinctively, I backed away from him, sending another sharp pain from my side throughout my whole body. I clutched my hand tighter.

"Hmph…Seems you're very well informed. I hear you have some kind of romantic relationship with dear Isabella." He smirked. "You will help quite well."

"I wont help you with anything." I hissed.

"You won't have to do anything. You're just bait."

Bait?

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh, all will be revealed in time. All you have to do is stand there and look pretty." He rolled his eyes and laughed.

"Do what ever you want with me, but leave Bella the fuck alone!"

He shook with more laughter and started to walk away. "We'll see about that."

Forgetting the pain in my ribs and that he was a vampire, I jumped up and threw myself at him.

He quickly turned and grabbed me by the shirt.

"I can snap you with just a flick of my wrist. So why even bother to put up a fight?"

He flung me across the room. My back hit the wall and I fell on my stomach. I could feel blood dripping down my lip.

I didn't move. I couldn't.

I closed my eyes and stayed still trying my hardest to ignore the pain my body was in.

"James…you said you wouldn't hurt him!" Tanya's voice rang loud in the room.

"Relax. He'll be fine. Stay with him and make sure he doesn't leave. Knock him out again if you have to."

Tanya walked over to one end of the room to sit down and stare at me.

"For a moment there, I didn't think you had it in you to pull this off." James sneered.

He laughed and I heard him lock the door behind him.

"I'm sorry Edward. This was the only way we could be together." It'll all be over soon.

To my relief, Tanya's thoughts weren't scattered or muffled anymore.

Good.

I'll get information from her.

Bella's POV

"Tanya."

"What?!" Alice yelled. "Why the hell would she do this?"

"Edward…" I breathed.

They all turned to look at me.

"She wants Edward. That's why she did this. She must have been the one to take him…" I said in barely a whisper.

"But I thought you said she agreed to leave you two alone. Why the sudden change of heart?" Jasper asked.

"I…I don't know. She seemed so sincere when I spoke to her. I don't understand why she would do this after what she told me."

"But why would she take him to those two vampires?!" Emmett yelled.

"As leverage." Bethany said.

"Leverage? Leverage for what?" Jasper asked.

"I'm not completely sure, but I'm thinking they want us to fight them. So they're using Edward to lure us out." She continued.

"But how does that explain Tanya's part! Why would she give them Edward if she wants him for herself?" Emmett yelled again.

"Maybe this Tanya believes they can actually kill you all. Then afterwards, Edward won't have anyone else to go to but her." Bethany said in disgust.

I shuddered.

I can't believe this is happening…

I should have never urged him to go to La push!

I should have stayed by his side.

Why the hell didn't I realize what Tanya was doing?

I'll kill all three of them.

I tried to absorb Demetri's tracking again.

It's so frustrating having my power go all screwy. And at a time like this no less!

Damn Tanya to the lowest pit in Hell.

How could she do this to me!

How could she do this to us!

The Cullen's have been friends with the Denali's for years!

I pulled and concentrated on my power.

Finally I was able to somewhat track him.

"We have to find Edward fast. I've been trying to track him. The most I could find out though is that he's still here in Washington. But I can't tell where exactly." I announced.

Suddenly my vision clouded over.

Edward was sitting in the same dark room in a corner holding his side.

Dried blood was stained on his shirt.

"Tanya…please, let me go."

"No, I can't. James and Victoria told me…they said I could keep you if I help them."

"But why are you helping them? Tanya, I thought we were friends…we're all practically family. How could you do this to Carlisle?"

Tanya looked away.

"I didn't have a choice."


Edward's eyes widened.

"Where are we Tanya?"

Edward stared her down. His eyes narrowed.

He was digging into her thoughts.

"We're in Tacoma in an abandoned building off of 33rd street." Edward whispered.

Tanya gasped and rushed by his side. "What…how…?"

Victoria suddenly ran into the room glaring at the two.

"How the hell did he know where we are?" she yelled as she threw Tanya across the room.

Edward smirked.

"Come find me." He mouthed as Victoria held Tanya by the throat up against the wall.

I looked at Alice as I pulled out of the vision.

"Did you get that?" she asked.

I only nodded.

I was shocked.

Oh, Edward you smart, smart boy!

"We know where they have Edward. He got the information from Tanya and told us through a vision." Alice told Carlisle.

I gave him the address.

"We have to get there as soon as possible. They might change locations once they figure out what he's done to help us find him." I said.

"Alice, keep looking for any change. Let's take two cars just in case. Esme, Rosalie, and Emmett come with me. The rest take another car." Carlisle instructed.

"Here take my jeep." Emmett said tossing me his keys.

We got in the cars and took off.

We drove for 15 minutes when Alice was hit with another vision.

"Stop!" she yelled. "Turn back…They decided to come back to Forks to face us."

"Where will they be?" I asked.

"There's a clearing, by the mountains. They will wait there for us."

I made a sudden U-Turn on the highway and immediately took out my cell phone and called Carlisle.

"Things changed. They decided to go back to Forks. We're going to head back. You should keep going to Tacoma just in case they're trying to trick us."

"Ok. We'll keep going. Call if anything else changes."

I hung up the phone and raced back to Forks.

I'll be there soon Edward.
