Disclaimer: I own Twilight……well……I don't but a girl can dream rite?
Previously: "Exactly, planes go anywhere! If you go now it'll take even longer because you'll screw up with something and then we'll have to start from square one. If you come by now and we talk about what to do we'll have a plan. That way we'll already be sure of what to do when the time comes to do each step. You come by now, we have to tell everyone. I'll get everyone ready don't worry, we will find her." Alice hung up quickly as I turned my car to the direction of my old house. I had to keep in mind what Alice said, we will find her, we will find her. I let that play in my head like a broken CD the whole way there.
Edward's POV:
"Okay, so that's the plan?" I asked everyone at the table. It was all of us, Rose, Emmett, Alice, Jasper, Carlisle, Esme and of course me. They all nodded. First step of the plan: Find where the hell that plane was going to! This was all me, I had to go to Tanya's. "I'll be back in an hour." I said hurrying out the door.
I was at Tanya's house within minutes. I didn't wait around, I knocked heavily on the door and she answered after a few seconds, "Oh, hey Edward," she smiled her big toothy grin, "Coming for a visit?"
"No! Where is Bella? I know you had something to do with this." I said getting straight to the point.
"Whatever do you mean? Bella's missing? I'm so sorry!" she tried to hug me but I moved aside causing her to stumble a bit.
"You know very well that she's missing! Where. Is. She?" I told her firmly, my voice cold and hard like I wanted it to be.
"Once again, whatever do you mean?" she asked twirling her hair with her right index finger, she thought it made her look all cute, the loud popping of bubble gum and the twirling of her hair…….wrong.
I grabbed her by the arm and said, "This can either be hard or this can be easy. Take your pick."
She smiled at me, "I think I'll take the hard way," she winked and it took everything in me not to gag.
I growled and pulled her arm with me to my car. "Get in," I yelled and she got in without an argument. "So….." I started once the car started. "Where's Bella?"
"I don't know!" She yelled, though I could totally see that she was lying, I'm pretty good at figuring that kind of stuff out. "Don't you think I'd tell you Edward? Do you really thing that I would let someone kidnap her? I'm not that kind of person." It disgusted me even more when I saw a produced tear run down her face.
"Yes," I stated, "A matter of fact I do, you are exactly the type of person to do this," I started thinking about it and laughed without humor, "Your probably trying to get me again, heads up, Bella or no Bella, I'm never going back to you. Oh, and don't worry, I will find her, so the no Bella case just isn't possible." I flashed her a fake smile and noticed her friendly charade was off her face.
She crossed her arms, "Whatever, I know whose right."
"Yep…..me." she narrowed her eyes at me before staring out the window. She really wasn't going to tell me about this at all was she? My hands gripped the steering wheel, I have to find her! Seriously where could she be? She could be anywhere……Alaska……Spain…Hawaii. I could never guess! Finally after the long silent ride we got to my house.
I got out the car and went over to Tanya's side, grabbed her arm and yanked her inside. Everyone was surrounding Alice who was yelling at the phone, "That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! How can you not believe us?" There was a slight pause and then Alice yelled again, "Well thanks for your help Bud, you just totally made this call worth while. NOT!" she shrieked and hung up the phone. "I called the airport," she said looking at me then glaring at Tanya, "They said that they thought our little kidnap story was false, thought we were a bunch of kids trying to start some trouble."
I frowned. Now we need to get Tanya to tell us where Bella is. She's not the sharpest crayon in the box so it shouldn't be too hard…..well not only is she not the sharpest crayon she's not the brightest light either……she pretty much is a great example of a dumb blond…..even though she's strawberry blond, close enough.
We all settled down at the dining room table, Tanya in between Emmett and I, and Carlisle and Esme at the head of the table. "Tanya, you need to tell us where Bella is. You could go to jail for this you know?" Carlisle said in his polite tone, he needs to react badly sometimes! That's his only flaw! Not being mean enough!
She smirked, "No I cant, I'm only 17, so hah!"
"Okkkkk," I drew out, "Where is she? Heads up, no one believes you. Just letting you know." I gave her a fake warm smile that she thought to be real, she smiled back.
"Oh, Eddie, I don't know," She started off sweetly but ended up practically yelling, "Haven't I told you this!" she paused then said, "Mind if I use the restroom?" Back to her sweet voice.
"Sure," I sighed. She got up and ran to the bathroom very well knowing where it is.
After she left Alice motioned towards me and whispered, "Go after her. Make her tell you! Act sweet if you have to; just get her to tell you!"
"Why can't I just wait until she gets back?" I asked confused, wasn't that the point?
"Just listen to me! If you two are alone it will be easier for you to act that you like her again……maybe she'll believe you and tell you, she's not the smartest and you're a good liar." I nodded and followed.
I heard her mumbling when I got to the bathroom door, she was saying something like, "Hurry, hurry, hurry," sounded like she was pacing as well. Finally she said, "Gosh Jake took you long enough!" Jake! She didn't go to the bathroom to…you know use the bathroom; she went to talk on the phone! Good job Alice sent me to talk to her. She wasn't even talking in a whisper, dumb girl.
It was a second before she answered, "So, how's Italy? I know you told me you always wanted to go to Venice." Venice!!! Venice, Italy! That's where Jacob and Bella are! It took everything in me to not just break into dance that very instant. Jacob and Bella……Italy! Ahh!!!!!! She told me and she doesn't even know!
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well that's cool, Bella handling everything well?" Wow, could she possibly spell it out anymore than she already has. "She's a very stubborn girl, you should know that." Go Bells! "She did? Are you serious?" she started laughing and I wanted to know what she did! Gosh I need Bella back; I hadn't even gotten to give her her birthday present yet!
"Well, good luck. I'm at Edward's house now, he knows you took her. He knows I had something to do with it, I don't know how though, he's trying to get me to talk but I wont, I promise." The pacing stopped and then she finished, "Okay, calm down, I wont, alright, talk to you later." I heard her shut the flip phone, flush the toilet for affect and wash her hands.
I waited for her to come out and as soon as she opened the door I jumped and said, "Got ya! Venice Italy, how easy it was to find out!" she jumped and put her hand to her heart as her jaw dropped.
"You….you heard that?" She asked her expression changing slightly. I nodded and took the phone that she had in her hand, "Hey! I don't know Jake's number by heart!"
"Hah! Perfect then, I got to get myself a plane ticket. To Venice Italy." I told her as I held her phone in one hand and her arm in the other. I took her back to the kitchen table, explained the situation, and was on my way to the airport.

Bella's POV:
I was crossing my arms as I sat at the foot of the bed at the hotel Jacob booked for us. And before you can ask, yes there is only one bed. I'd rather stand and sleep. He still had my cell phone so I couldn't even get close to calling Edward or anyone and Jake made sure he watched me every second so that I didn't get the bright idea of using the hotel phone.
"So Bells, ready to go for some sightseeing? I hear there are some pretty cool things here." He asked as kindly as he could. I shook my head. "You sure?" he asked through clenched teeth, I think you'd enjoy it." I shook my head again; I was planning on being stubborn. "Well, like it or not, we're going." He grabbed my hand and pulled me, I tried to resist but Jacob is strong! He's not the star football player for nothing after all.
He pulled me all the way to the park and I had many chances to yell but I was terrified. Jake had gotten someone to hold on to a gun for him since he wouldn't have been able to get it past security, he had it in his pockets at all times and said if I ever did anything that could possibly cause him to get exposed that he would take it out on me. At this point, I hardly cared for myself, just the babies.
"You hungry?" he asked looking down at me and I shook my head. I didn't want food from this guy, but my stomach betrayed me by making a large gurgling sound. He laughed, "Sure your not." He handed me ten bucks and said, "Go get two hotdogs. I'll be watching."
I nodded trying to think of some kind of plan. I walked over to the hot dog stand and waited in line. There was a couple with a boy about thirteen years old in front of me. The man and the boy were arguing over some bet the two of them had while the woman paid for their food and laughed at the guy's silly banter.
When I got to the front of the line and the guy asked what I wanted I got right to the chase, in a low whisper I said, "Okay, so there's a guy sitting on a bench over there." I didn't turn around, "He has russet skin and longish black hair. He's most likely looking at me. He kidnapped me! You have to help me."
The guy asked with a worried voice, "You mean the guy standing right behind you?" I gulped and slowly turned around to see Jacob's big body hovering over me smiling down.
He laughed good-heartedly, "Bella, Bella. I'm sorry for the confusion, she's a big actress, she's trying out for some play at her……school and wanted to see if she could make people believe it. I've been trying to make sure she doesn't, I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea about us." He leaned down and kissed my cheek.
The guy looked at me the same time Jacob's eyes connected with mine and basically said, "You say anything, you're in for some trouble."
I smiled sheepishly to the guy, "I-i-it's true. I was t-t-trying to see if I could m-make people b-believe. Guess it w-w-worked." I shrugged. The guy nodded and went along with it but still had suspicion in his eyes. We got out hotdogs and we were on our way.
Once we got to the bench Jacob took my hand and squeezed it harder than necessary, "Ouch." I complained quietly.
"That little stunt you played back there," he motioned to the direction we came from, "That was something that will never happen again okay? If that does, something worse than that little extra pressure on your hand will happen. Understand?" he asked his voice pure with the truth. I nodded, too afraid to speak. "Okay then," he said as he bit into his hotdog.
Suddenly, his phone started ringing. Same ring tone he'd always had since we've dated. Who Let the Dogs Out or something like that? He looked at the number and sighed, "Tanya."
"Well so—rry Tanya. My life doesn't revolve around answering your calls as fast as possible." I heard Jake spat. So he was talking to Tanya! Ugh, just get me out of this hell. Of course the one time I get to go to Italy—the place I've always wanted to go—Jake has to be kidnapping me! Things just don't ever go my way.
As for the pregnancy thankfully everything's going well with that so far……I mean I've only been with him for a day, so I hope nothing changes. I heard him chuckle, "It's nice. Just took Bella to a park. She tried to get us exposed. Caught her though, she tried talking to a hotdog guy!" He stopped talking for a bit, "Yeah she did. Stubborn girl she is."
He stopped for a little bit longer and his voice got into a whisper yell, "You're at the Cullen's while you're talking to me on the phone? And they know you have something to do with it? Are you that stupid! You shouldn't be anywhere near them!" She's at the Cullen's? That means their trying to find me. I started feeling a bit of alarm but relief. I do want to be found, but what if I am found? What will Jake and his gun have to say about that?
He was quiet for a short period of time and said, "Whatever, just don't get caught." He slammed his phone down and muttered, "Retard."
"Can we go back to the hotel?" I asked. I really was tired, I don't even care if we have to share a bed, I'll just stay far away, I just want to get away from this all. The stress, the fear, just everything!
"Fine," he said, "Remember, don't start thinking your all smart. Your not getting away from me this time." He said smiling a wicked smile.
That's what he thinks.
