Chapter 4
BellaPOV
What had happened? I remember 3 big, muscular guys, knocking me out with a rag and walking off with me. Ugh, and my head is killing me. I opened my eyes to find myself in a strange room. It looked like the inside of a log cabin. I stood up and felt the room spinning. I grabbed the first thing my hand touched. Once everything stop moving, I looked around me. In the middle of the room was a 4-poster bed, with 2 bedside tables either side. There was a chest of drawers in the corner with a deep red armchair in the opposite corner. There were two doors leading off the room. I went to the first one. It was just a plain simple toilet. There other was locked. Memories started coming back to me. I remember! I was kidnapped! I ran over to the single window in the room, but it was blotted shut. I sighed and went over to the bed. Why me? What did I do? I could feel tears in my eyes. What were they going to do to me? I started sniffling on the covers of the big bed.
Suddenly, the door unlocked and swung open. One of the tall guys walked in.
"Good. You're awake" He said. I ignored him and pretended I didn't know he was there. He threw a set of clean clothes at me. I sat up and looked at the clothes in my hands. I looked back up at him. Now the other guys were there.
"W-who are you?" I asked, wiping the tears on my cheeks.
"Jacob, Embry, Quil" The taller guy said. I looked at them all. I lay back down on the bed. They started shuffling around as they filed out the room. I shot up.
"Wait!" I said. The one called Jacob stopped and turned his head side ways towards me.
"Can you at tell me why I'm here?" I asked. He laughed.
"Revenge, for your dad putting Sam Uley in jail" He said, walking out the room. I grabbed the clothes and ran into the bathroom, locking the door behind me. I quickly checked my pockets. Yes! They didn't get my phone! There was no signal in here. I walked out into the bedroom and waved the phone around. Yes! 2 Bars! I punched in Edwards number and pressed call. I watched the door in case they decided to check-up on me. Edward answered in the second ring.
"Hello? Emmet? Did you find her?" Her? He was looking for me!
"Edward, its Bella" I whispered, keeping a watch on the door.
"BELLA!" He exclaimed from the other end.
"Edward you have to help me"
"Bella where are you? Are you OK? What happened!?" He said this in one breath. I tried to stop the tears that were building up in my eyes from spilling over.
"I don't know where I am. Edward I'm scared" I said, the tears brimming over.
"Shh Bella its ok. Tell me what you remember"
"Edward there are these guys-" I could hear them on the other side of the door. I quickly hung up the phone and threw in onto the arm chair on the other side of the room. They came in, holding a tray with a loaf of bread. They sat the tray down and looked at me. Just when things couldn't get worse for me, my phone started buzzing, I had it on vibrate. I had to cover up the sound! Think Bella! I started having a coughing fit, effectively drowning out the sound of my phone. He looked at me concerned.
"Drink the water, and shut u already" He said before walking out and bolting the door behind him. I ran over to my phone and looked at he screen. Edward. I turned the phone off. I couldn't risk it just now. I would wait till they are sleeping. I looked at the loaf of bread on the tray and the bottle of water beside it. Until now I hadn't realised just how hungry and thirsty I was. I launched myself at the food and devoured it within minutes. I felt like an animal. I dropped the crumbs of bread that were now in my hand and I watched it fall to the ground. I dropped to my knees and cried into my hands. I crawled over to the bed and curled under the covers and cried my heart out.
EdwardPOV
The phone went dead. Bella just called me and the sound of her voice was magnificent a this time.
"Bella? BELLA! BELLA!?" I called into the phone. I hung up on my side and pressed 'recall'. the phone rang and rang but Bella didn't pick up. I hung up and threw the phone down on the seat next to me with great force. I rubbed my head. Bella said there were guys there with her. I swear, if they hurt her, nothing will stop me from hunting them down and ripping them apart. I drove down the highway to Newtons. There car park was empty and the shop was shut. I drove around the side and there was Bella's 53' Chevy truck. I parked up next to it and got out. The door lay open and her bag was sitting on the seat. This is where she was taken. I searched her bag but found nothing worth interest.
I got frustrated and kicked the tire and slammed my fist down on the bonnet. I placed my forehead on my fist and looked down at the tarmac. Please, anything! Give me something to lead me to Bella. As if by magic, I saw a leaf stick out of the groove in the tyre. Great, I ask for a clue, and I get a frickin leaf! I picked it up and looked at it. I was about to throw it away when I noticed I had never seen this kind of leaf before. Maybe this would help… I put it in my pocket anyway. I went back to my car and dialled Carlisle.
"Edward what's up? Did you find her?" "No Carlisle, call Emmet and head home. She called me but she was cut off and now she wont answer her phone"
"Ok Edward, we'll meet you there" I hung up and sped my way home. I was still the last one there. I screeched to a stop and flew out the car and into the house. Everyone was sitting in the kitchen. They turned to me when I entered.
"Well?" Emmet asked, holding on to Rosalie.
"She called while I was on my way to Newtons. She said she's fine but she's scared. She says there's guys there with her but she got cut off when she was cut off. I tried calling her back but she wouldn't pick up" Alice's stared at me with red rimmed eyes. She turned into Jasper and he patted her back. I could feel myself tear up also. I suddenly remembered the leaf I found. I took it out and laid it on the worktop between us.
"Carlisle, Jasper, I need you to figure out what plant this comes from. I don't recognise it, so I don't think its from around here" Jasper picked it up and examined it before shrugging and handing it to Carlisle.
"I will try my best son, but for now, I think we should all try and get some rest. I watched as everyone left the kitchen and headed up stairs to their rooms. I couldn't sleep, knowing my beautiful Bella was out there someone, fearing for the worst. Why wasn't I there to protect her? I should have been there.
BellaPOV
I lay on the bed, sniffing and listening to the movements on the other side of the door. As I lay there, I could hear the bolts on the door being unlocked before the one called Quil stepped in, looking at me suspiciously.
"What are you doing in here?" He asked. I looked at him confused.
"Nothing…w-why?" I said, wiping away a stray tear from my cheek.
"Its too quiet in here…" He looked around the room before laying his eyes on me again.
"C-can I a-ask for s-s-something?" I tried, expecting disappointment. He looked outside and Jacob came to the door. He took over the conversation.
"What do you want?" He asked.
"Can I call my boyfriend, let him know I'm ok?" They looked at each other before smirking.
"He would call all the police station within a 500 mile radius. He's very protective of me" I added. It worked and they looked a little worried.
"Fine" He said. He grabbed my arm and yanked me into the other room. He pushed me down into a small chair in front of a table. He pushed an old mobile towards me. I picked it up cautiously. I punched in Edwards number and pressed call, hoping he would be awake at this hour at night. He answered on the first ring.
"Bella?!"
"Yeah Edward…it's me" I said, looking at Jacobs expression.
"What happened? Tell me everything Bella!"
"I am fine" I said, trying to convey that I couldn't really talk.
"What? Bella what…Their there aren't they?"
"Yes" I said simply. Jacob glared at me.
"I swear Bella if they hurt you. I will hunt them down and kill them" He said, anger clear in his voice. I felt a tear roll down my cheek and I couldn't hold the fear in any longer.
"Edward you have to help me! They locked me in a room and-" I was abruptly cut off by a strong hand hitting the side of my face, sending me flying to the floor. I let out a whimper as my cheek flared and ached. The phone was still in my hand and I could hear Edwards voice shout through it. Jacob stood over me while Embry and Quil watched. Jacob took the phone from my hand and pressed it to his ear.
"Don't worry. We'll take good care of your precious Bella" He said, before ending the call and throwing it over to one of the other guys. Meanwhile I still lay on the ground, silent tears running down my cheek and my cheek hurting more than ever. Jacob bent down and whispered in my face,
"If you dare pull a stunt like that again, you'll get it a lot worse than a slap"
He grabbed my collar and dragged me back into the room. I scream at him to stop while my airway was cut off by the t-shirt being pulled tight against my throat. He finally dropped me in my room and walked out, slamming the door behind him.
I lay on the cold floor, sobbing into the rug beside me. Now I wasn't only scared, I feared for my life. I still couldn't put together why I was hear. Once I had calmed down, I crawled to the bathroom and locked the door. I pulled myself up to the sink and peered into the mirror. I had a red hand print on my cheek still. There were red markings on my neck where the collar of the t-shirt dug into my skin. My neck was tender and my cheek was aching. I ignored the pain and went back through to the bed. I lay down and peered out the bolted windows at the moon, high in the sky.
