Chapter 5

OMG! I just bought a blackberry curve. So excited! Anyway, here's another chapter!

"About time bro!" Emmett flew past me. He was bored and anxious to do some damage. It was amazing how much he loved Bella, how much everyone in my family does. Just another sign that she is my other half.

Twenty minutes had passed and those bastards have yet to return. I couldn't just stay here and wait for them to return and finish me off. Maybe if I could just get far enough away for someone to see me. But then again that would just be sentencing them to death.

Screw it, this was not the time to be selfless. My arms were barely functioning but I had to fight against the pain. I couldn't die yet, I still had so much I haven't experienced. Making it over to the door I glance back to the clock. Great, it took fifteen minutes just to cross this small room.

It would take a blessing for me to get out in time. Positive thoughts, that's all I could afford to think. Closing my eyes I push forward, imagining Edward's beautiful face. Turning the knob, it gives easier than I thought and the sudden force knocks me down flat on my stomach. Lifting my head, all I can see in front or behind me is a long corridor. This is hopeless. I have a 50/50 shot of going the right way….or wrong. Pushing myself to my knees, I start crawling forward. Exhaustion beats down upon me and I falter a little. Shaking it off I continue. If I don't get out here, well then I can sleep permanently later.

A small beam of light shoots out and a smile breaks out. A small one, even that hurts me and I instantly regret it. My head bumps into something hard and metal, lifting it a little higher I realize that I have already reached the door. The door that hopefully will lead me to my freedom.

Shooting my hands forward I expel the last bit of my energy to clamp down and push on it. The light is blinding to my eyes that knew nothing but darkness for so long. Outlines of four figures are seen and my voice makes itself known.

Screaming will without a doubt only fuel to their rage that I tried to escape. But just as I was powerless against their brutality, I was powerless to stop myself. I could taste the bloody tears from my bloodshot eyes. My throat was arid and burned with thirst. I could hear the front man calling out my name.

"Bella! Oh God!" His voice was familiar, comforting in it's worry laced tone. That didn't make the slightest bit of sense. So it was official, I just went insane.

We finally made it to Seattle. Emmett, Carlisle, Jasper and I had crossed paths with the girls and had come up with similar results at previous attempts. We were going to the outskirts of the city, it was the last place we had yet to search.

So much time had passed, it was hard to believe that Bella would be okay when we found her. But I had to. Her survival is all that matters now, it's all that ever mattered. Without her I couldn't fathom still living. Perhaps Jacob would help with that issue. Hell, that dog would jump at the chance.

Breaking me out of my morbid reverie, Carlisle picked up the scents of the soon to be dead vampires. Taking off, we reach what looks like an abandoned warehouse. The place reeks of those bastards. Eyeing the back door of the decrepit building, I heads towards it.

"Edward, I hear a heartbeat. Just barely, but I can hear it." Jasper sounds off excitedly. He was the last of us to get attached but he cared about Bella just the same as the rest of us. Pulling on the door, we're met with a piercing scream that would have incapacitated a mortal.

No! We're too late. My beautiful, wonderful soul is kneeling before me. Blood cakes her hair, her clothes are torn and she's almost completely indecent. Inhaling fuels my rage. I can smell all of them on her. Jasper sends waves of calm through me. I have to stay level headed. At least for now, for Bella.

"Bella! Oh God!" I yell in a worried tone. I kneeled down in front of her and began to carefully lift her into my arms. Immediately she recoiled from my touch, she was too weak to get away. Her eyes widened in fear. It overwhelmed her and she passed out. Careful not to let my anger get the best of me, I hand her to Carlisle.

"Can you take care of her please? I'll…handle the rest."

"Of course. And Edward, don't be too quick dealing with these monsters." Carlisle told me. His eyes were hardened and stern. His overall manner was something I had never seen before. But I understood and was certainly going to follow his advice this time.

Emmett, Jasper and I stepped into the building. They looked ferocious and ready to attack. We passed several locked doors and finally came to where Bella must have been held. Spilled blood flooded our senses and the scene before us was horrifying.

Bits of clothes were scattered around. A bed was in the far corner, laden with bloody sheets. I couldn't see how Bella survived from this torture session, let alone crawl to the front door. She's a fighter that's why. She always thought she was so weak because she was human, but that was far from the truth. Well, compared to vampires I guess it was true, but she was brave and courageous.

"They will be back. It's part of their game, time is sometimes worse than the actual torture. We will just wait, and once they return…we'll be ready for them." Jasper spoke so sure of himself. As if he was speaking from experience.

"I can't believe this happened to Bella. Yeah she's clumsy, but no one deserves that. I hope that Bella is able will be able to get past this. It really did a number on Rosalie, and you know how much of a hard ass she is. Oh…wait, don't tell her I said that." Emmett said. We all knew what the 'it' was that he was avoiding to say. I couldn't even bring myself to think about that.

"I know. It'll be hard but we will all be there for her as much as she needs us." I saw Jasper stiffen and signal for us to be quiet. Being on full alert, I can hear the walking dead. In all senses of the word they were walking dead.

"We're back Isabella! You miss us?" a man with blonde hair stepped through. The first one to pay for his sins. Emmett, Jasper and I back ourselves into the corners, being hid by the darkness. When they all pile in, Emmett shoots out and locks them in with their death.
