-"What do you want?" I asked calmly, not wanting to see the fear that was quickly building up.
He smiled evilly at me, and then brought his hand to my head.
And next thing I knew, everything went black…
MPOV
I couldn't move.
I couldn't understand.
I thought he loved Bella…
And this is what happens!?
I was still standing in Edward's room, completely shocked out of my mind. I faintly noticed Bella running out and leaving the house sobbing, because the image before me would haunt my mind the rest of my existence.
I mean, I know Tanya can be demanding, but he could of just pushed her away…he could of just said no…he could of ran and come back to us.
He didn't. Instead, he was lying, almost naked, on his bed with Tanya.
Then why the hell had he told me the other night that he was in love with Bella? That he had planned to tell her how he felt and spend the rest of his life with her if she had the same feelings?
The Edward I knew wouldn't have said that and then 3 days later, he's in bed with the one woman he swore he would never think of her as more than a friend. The Edward I knew would have backed off and come running back to Bella. He would have let Tanya down and would never have done this. Never.
I then realized something else. He had just hurt my best friend. So had Tanya. I instantly became furious towards the both of them. Bella had been through so much during her life, and now this happens! I knew she loved him, she hadn't told me forwardly, but the way she looked at him and talked to him, I could tell…it was the exact same way I used to stare at Caleb…and him at me…
I missed him so much…he had been everything to me…
I still remembered every moment we had spent together…Every touch…Every hug…Every date…Every kiss…His beautiful and perfect proposal…
God I missed him so much…There was no one able to replace him. No one.
Before I had joined Tanya's family, I had been with the Voltury. I had served them for at least 10 years. I would have stayed, but all the men without mates bothered me. They would try anything to gain my attention and affection. I just ignored it until…until the night one of them got a little too bold.
I had been in my room, retiring from the evening party, when a drunken Felix had came in and…well, "attacked me". After he ripped my top off, leaving my chest bare, I had lost it. I had ripped him up good, not entirely to the point beyond repair, but pretty close enough. The next day, I had left. For good.
Finally able to move, I clenched my jaw and knuckles and walked over to the edge of the bed, and looked furiously at both of them. I decided to start with Tanya.
-"You fucking slut! How could you do this! I never want to see your fucking face, ever again, skank! Consider me out of your family! I can't stand you and your sisters who flirt with every guy in sight, even if there taken! Now get the fuck out, before I decide to rip that fucking empty head of yours!" I screamed to the top of my lungs at her. She seemed shocked at my words, and actually did something smart. She left the room, and called everyone else in her family and said they were leaving. Good. The blond bimbo actually has brains.
I heard Edward sigh in relief and start getting up, and stood beside me. He was about to thank me, but I quickly cut him off.
-"And you…HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO BELLA!!!" I screeched at him. He stepped back in shock, a bit wobbly.
-"Miranda, let me exp-"I wasn't having it. What could he say? Those lame excuses every other used to make their girlfriend of friend forgive them? My lips have a mind of their own…She came on to me…Her ass hypnotized me…
Right.
-"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THIS HAS PROBABLY DONE TO BELLA! AND WHAT THE HELL! YOU TOLD ME YOU LOVED HER!" I screeched at him. Usually when a guy says they love someone, they don't go sleep with someone else.
-"Miranda, please stop talking and let me explain!" He yelled back at me. I narrowed my eyes at him and growled.
-"It better god dawm be a good fucking excuse!" I said crossing my arms over my chest. He god dawm better have a good reason for sleeping with Tanya, when he was in love with Bella, and when she loved him.
His eyes widened and his mouth gaped. What the heck, I didn't do any-
Oh, crap.
I just remembered something.
He could read minds.
-"She…loves me?" He said, his eyes softening and a wide smile spreading across his face. I mentally slapped myself for letting that slip. But at least he knew.
-"Ya. She did." I said empathizing "did", making sure he heard it was past tense. His smile disappeared and he sunk to the floor. He put his face in his hands and began to dry sob, muttering things like: "what have I done…"
I kneeled in front of him and grabbed his chin, pulling it upwards to make him look at me.
-"Well, she loved you, but I'm not so sure anymore, especially after walking in on you, about to have sex with Tanya." I said, my voice filled with venom. He had to realize how much he had hurt Bella. He nodded, with both of what I had said.
-"But you have to know. I didn't intend for this to happen. Now, if you'll restrain from killing me for just one second, I can explain what happened." He said standing up. I stood up and crossed my arms, and allowed him to explain. But one thing I did notice, is when he said "I didn't intend for this to happen", he wasn't lying.
Wow my power was useful.
-"When I ran off, it was because I was going to tell Bella how I felt," True. "So I ran home to get the necklace I had bought for her," True "But then I came across a mountain lion, and since they were so rare, I decided to take it." …True. "But after I drained it, I felt…weird. Like drugged weird." True…and, what the heck? "So I continued to go home, and went up to my room and grabbed the necklace, but when I was about to leave, I felt really weird and also, for lack of better words, horny." True…and, EW. "Then, out of nowhere, Tanya comes in and attacks me. But I couldn't stop her, no matter how much I wanted too, I couldn't find the will to get her off…" True…slut. "It wasn't until you and Bella came in that I saw in her mind why I couldn't stop her. She had run this afternoon all over Washington to find a mountain lion, and she had inserted a tonne of drugs and alcohol in his bloodstream. I didn't know we could get drugged, but apparently, we can."…Completely true.
He looked away, ashamed, and began dry sobbing again. I sat him on the bed, and took him into my arms. I just held him while he got it all out.
-"I love her…and now she probably never wants to see me, ever again." He sobbed into my shoulder. I detected no lies…but also, no truth.
Only parts of his words were true.
He loved her…true.
She didn't want to see him…true.
She didn't want to see him ever again…lie.
I smiled in relief. She still had feelings for him. Well, Edward heard that, because he raised his head and looked at me, a mixture between shock and happiness. I shrugged and got off the bed.
We stayed in his room for about 2 hours, and then we started to get worried. What worried me more was when Carlisle had said she would be back soon…
…It was a lie.
Edward and I began to get frantic once I detected that part. We decided to wait just one more hour, and then we would go look for her.
One hour later…
Still no sign of Bella.
-"That's it. I'm going after her." Edward said determined, getting of the couch. I thought for a minute. What if she still didn't want to see him? What if seeing him would only drive him away?
He heard what I was thinking and growled. I narrowed my eyes at him.
I'm going after her, alone. Don't worry, I'll bring her back. No arguing.
-"…fine. But if you're not back in less than an hour, I'm coming." He said regretfully. I nodded and ran out, into the raining night.
* * *
45 minutes later, there was still no sign of Bella. I had literally looked everywhere! There wasn't one inch of Washington and the outer states that I hadn't touched.
I was outside of Seattle, about to give up hope, but then I thought of the one place Bella loved to go.
Edward's meadow.
I took a deep breath, and ran back to Forks.
Once there, I took the familiar route leading to the one place in the world that was the most beautiful.
I quickly arrived there, and looked around frantically. She wasn't there. I cried out, and collapsed onto the grass. I slammed my head on the grass numerous times, until I just stayed there, pounding the grass with my fists.
I finally calmed down, and heard some steps coming towards me at an inhuman pace. It was probably Edward, so I didn't bother to look up. I just stayed there, motionless.
The steps halted in front of me, but what shocked me the most, was the voice.
-"2 in one night. Sweet." I looked up and was met by a pair of bright Crimson eyes.
I was about to stand up and tackle him, but his hand flew to my head, and everything went black…
My last thoughts were, please let Bella be alright…
EPOV
It had been almost two hours since Miranda had left…
I searched every single place in Washington, not leaving one stone unturned, not one bush inspected, not one city alley missed.
And there still was no sign of either of them.
I was in my meadow, looking around frantically, but I didn't see her…my Bella.
I dropped to my knees and cried to the heavens.
BPOV
I don't know how long it had been, but I knew I wasn't somewhere safe. My head extremely hurt, like a thousand trains had hit my head. I groggily opened my eyes, and inspected where I was. But when I tried moving my arms, I felt something grip them. I looked back, and saw my hands were chained to a wall. Ha! Like that would be a challenge. I yanked on the chains that would have made any of them break, but it didn't as much as budge.
I kept trying numerous times at breaking the chains, but the never did as much as jostle. Finally giving up, I leaned against the wall, and brought my knees to my chest, wrapping my arms around them. Where the heck was I?
I looked around, and saw I was in a giant concrete room, with no windows, one Titanium door, and a bunch of chains hanging of the wall. I was the only one here, and boy did I feel lonely. I sighed and began dry sobbing.
I wished Myra was here.
I wished everyone was here with me…
But most of all, I wished Edward was here.
Suddenly, I heard footsteps coming, and quickly lay back down, and forced myself to stop sobbing.
The door creaked open, and then closed again. Footsteps came towards me slowly, and stopped. I stood as still as possible, hoping he hadn't heard me.
-"I know you're awake. I heard you sobbing, so I came here to check on you. Don't worry; I'm not going to hurt you…" A deep and soft voice whispered. I sighed, and looked up.
He had nice groomed black hair, nicely cut, a strong face but you could see the softness, and his eyes were gold, and…wow. He was wearing a white blouse, rolled up to the elbows, and you could see the way it hugged its body that he was very muscular. Not as much as Emmett, but enough. Along with the blouse, he was wearing a black pair of jeans, and some joggers. Overall, he was handsome.
He looked at me worriedly, and crouched in front of me, relaxing his arms on his knees.
-"Are you ok?" He asked softly. I looked away and closed my eyes. He was only a stranger…than why did I feel like I knew him already?
-"Ya…I'm fine." I replied sternly. He pulled my chin towards him and stared into my eyes.
-"I'm not going to hurt you. Not like the rest of them here. You can tell me anything." Could I really trust him?...It didn't make sense. I didn't even know him, yet I felt like I had seen him before…
Well, might as well tell him. I was going to die here anyways.
-"I just…miss someone. I ran away because I walked in on him…about to sleep with someone." I could already feel the hysterics coming. But I was not breaking down in front of him, so I held it in.
He looked at me and anger crossed his face before it returned to pity and worry.
-"…but…are you sure that's what he was about to do? And did you talk with him? Maybe it wasn't exactly what it appeared to be." He whispered seriously. I looked up at him with a dumbfounded expression, clearly saying if he was crazy. But the way he looked at me, it made me think…What if he wasn't about to do what I taught he was? What if she had done something to him to make him do that?
I sighed quietly. "…maybe you're right." I spoke silently. He smiled and let my chin go. He sat down, Indian style, and looked down for a minute, a sad expression crossing his face, but it quickly disappeared.
I tried to envelope his mind, but it wouldn't work. What the hell? My shield never let me down. What was going on?
He looked up at me, and became confused by my frustrated expression.
-"You ok?" He asked me worried again.
-"I…My powers don't work. What's going on?" I asked, starting to panic. He seemed confused for a minute, but his face lit up in realization after a few seconds.
-"The chains you're wearing, I guess you could say there special. You can't use your powers, or break them. One of the other guys here has a special power. They can enchant anything or anyone to what the want…I believe he's the one who got you…" His face suddenly went sad, and he looked away "…I'm so sorry…if I could get them to stop, I would…" He really meant it…
-"Why am I here in the first place?" I asked quietly. Something told me it wasn't good.
-"They kidnap any vampire girl they can find so the guys can have mates…but, I find that you should get a mate through real love…not forced…" he spoke quietly, still looking away from me.
Wow.
Those kinds of men were hard to find…
-"What are you doing here, if you don't like it?" I asked, extremely curious. I mean, when you don't like something, don't you usually leave?
-"…if it weren't for this place…I would have gone back to my lover…she's human. Well, was human…"-he started to sob-"…if she's still alive, she's probably with someone else…it's been 60 years, and no matter how I try, I can't stop loving her…" He was almost in hysterics now.
The rope still had enough length left, so I wrapped my arms around him, while he quieted down.
-"Thank you…this means a lot." He looked up from my shoulder. I nodded and went back to sitting against the wall. He came to sit beside me, and we stayed quiet.
-"So, what's your name? If were going to be friends, I at least can know your name, right?" He said smiling. I smiled back and nodded.
-"Isabella. But, please, call me Bella." I told him warmly. He really was a sweet guy. "…and you are?" I encouraged him to tell me.
-"Caleb. Caleb Ryheart."
