Back again!

This chapter actually took me in a different direction, than I had originally intended, but I like this better. I don't think there will be too much more after this, maybe just one or two chapters.

Hope you are enjoying the journey with me : )

I don't own any of the characters – they belong to Stephenie Meyer, I just like to play with them ; )

OoooO

Victoria grabbed me and threw me over her shoulder again. This time she threw me down into a hole at the base of a huge tree.

She leaned inside, her red eyes glowing and piercing me.

"Don't move or make a sound, if you do, I will rip Edward's head off" she snarled.

She moved to leave, but turned back once more, "oh and one more thing" she grabbed my arm and bit into it hard.

"I can't have the same decision the whole time...Alice can be such a hindrance. Don't make a sound. I will be back for you and you will work for me" she hissed.

She covered up the hole and I was in complete darkness and the burn in my arm was turning into something unbearable.

Time, who knows about time? I feel as if my body was tied to a stake and the flames were consuming me, but there was no end. I was just going to burn forever. Women accused of witchcraft at least had the benefit of only enduring this for a limited time...I feel like I am burning in the pits of hell. Never had I felt a pain like this.

All traces of coherent thoughts, places and persons fell like they are being burnt out of my mind.

I don't think I will ever be the same again.

OoooO [Edward's POV]

"Where is she Alice!?!" I paced

"I don't know Edward, I told you, I saw Victoria throw Bella under a tree into a large hole and cover it and then..." Alice's voice gave out

"It's been 3 days! We have to find her now. She won't remember anything; she will go on a killing spree and the Volturi will..." I bent down, I couldn't bare to finish the sentence.

Esme placed her hands on my shoulders, It will be alright Edward, I know it she thought

"Not now Esme, we need to find her" I got up and started hunting again. We used the only thing we could, smell.

While I was hunting for her, I went over the events the final showdown with Victoria.

After we finished with the 8 that Victoria sent to us, we ran back home. Once we got closer, I wanted to read over the events of our absence in Alice's mind. She was just finishing off the men Victoria left as a distraction.

"Victoria has her. We have to go now!"

Alice met up with us as we all continued on following Victoria's scent. She was headed East, towards Canada's Northwest Territories.

It didn't take long to meet up with her. She stood in the middle of a field waiting for us.

"Where is she?" I raged.

She smirked, "No where you will find her...go ahead read my mind. Yes, she is hiding in a dark, cold hole in the ground under a tree" she smiled, "but look around, I made a point not focus on one specific or defining item."

"You won't live to see tomorrow" Jasper smiled

"Ah, well, at least I will go knowing, you" she looked at me, "will never find your Isabella, at least not before the Volturi do. After they kill her for all the attention she will bring on herself when she emerges." She laughed, "I bet she will take out a whole town...they are small around here you know"

That was it. I launched myself at her. She clawed and fought back equally, but I was one step ahead of each move she made.

Emmett came up behind her and placed her in a strong hold, while I had the pleasure of ripping her head from her body.

The others had already started a fire, knowing full-well what the outcome was going to be. The fight wasn't as grand as I would have liked, she didn't feel as much pain as I would have liked her to feel, but I needed to get it over with so I could focus on finding Bella before it was too late.

[Back to Bella's POV]

My body was slowly centimetre, by centimetre cooling off. The raging, engulfing, excruciating pain was slowly pulling back, leaving my body feeling cold and strong in its absence.

I had no idea, where I was or who I was for that matter. All that I cared about was the burning, dry throat I had. I knew what I needed to get to somewhat sooth the ache...blood, now.

I didn't care, how, but I needed it.

I clawed my way out of the darkness to emerge in a forest. The forest was alive with rich sights and smells. I didn't care about that now, now I needed to leave...to find warm, silky, smooth blood.

I took off with a speed that was so fast, it felt as if I was flying. I paused only briefly to smell the air and see if I could find the rich smell of warm liquid I needed.

I continued to run, until at last. I sniffed and I could smell it, a whole lot of blood, human blood. I needed it.

I ran up the small town, where the smells were coming from. I wanted to leap onto the first person I saw, without hesitation I would sink my teeth in and drained them dry. I licked my lips and I started towards the first one I saw.

As I started in pursuit of them I was hit from the side. I fought and tried to move, but the man had a strong, firm grip on me.

"Oh no you don't, you are coming with me"

"Let me go!" I hissed.

He was like me. How and why would he stop me? He knew the pain I was in!

"Come on, we're going to Edward" he said

"I don't care who we are going to, I need to drink! My throat is so dry!" I snapped.

The man holding me lifted me up and broke out into a run, never letting me move or use my arms. I nipped at him, as my teeth were the only weapons. He hissed at me, but nothing more.

After a short time we stopped.

"Bella! Isabella!" I heard someone calling

A split second later another man was standing in front of me (while I was still being held). He put his hands on either side of my face.

"Isabella – do you remember me?" he said

"No!" I hissed again, my hunger was overpowering me

"Here give her this" a small girl danced over to me, holding an animal and dropping it in front of me.

The animal was smelled good. It was fresh and I was willing to take anything to stop my throat's increasing ache.

The man holding me let me go and I launched myself at the animal dropped in front of me.

"She remembers nothing" the second man said

"Edward, she just woke up, she will come back. You know how it is when you are first turned, you want drink and nothing else matters. Her memories are there she didn't lose them again, they are just a little bit hazy, the more she drinks and finds comfort in her situation, the shorter time it will take" the man who brought me here said.

I stood up. Feeling like a little bit of the mist in my head was clearing.

"More" was all I said.

This Edward took my hand and pulled me into a run. We ran until we came across a few large moose. We both went in for the kill.

After I finished I looked up and watched as this Edward finished his drink and stood up. He was pure perfection. As I watched him a new feeling came over me...a different kind of burning.

I needed him, now. I launched myself at him....

OoooO

Another cliffy! I know, but it's a lemony filled cliff, with promise of lemons to come (haha another pun) : )

Goal is to be finished this story by the end of Easter!
