This is my life

Chapter 25

BPOV:

"Hello Bella. Lovely evening for a murder"

I turned around and looked at the calm almost demonic voice that sounded behind me. Victoria. She was standing in the doorway of the kitchen. Emily was still standing in the doorway to the outside on the opposite side of the room.

Why didn't I remember the kitchen door! Damn it. I hope Emily can run outside without being seen.

But it seemed that Victoria was not interested in the others She was only looking at me. I backed up towards little Claire who was cowering in the sofa as if trying to get sucked into the chair. I stood in front of her, guarding her with my body.

"What do you want Victoria?" I asked.

She smiled her sick smile at me. I shuddered and kept my eyes on her. I saw Kim begin moving slowly towards Emily, ready to take her place as soon as she ran out the door.

"Well I obviously want you. To kill you for what you have done. Varick is dead. All because of you" she snarled. I cringed back a bit.

"Why do you care what happened to him? It's not like you cared about him…did you?" I asked, hoping to God that she didn't know him.

"That is where you are wrong Bella. I did know him. I cared about him. He was my mate" Victoria snapped at me.

Oh shit I thought.

"I know you didn't kill him. I know that a pathetic human couldn't have killed a vampire. So I knew that you didn't do it. But you are the reason he is dead. Your stupid vampires killed my only love. Now to make up for that, I'm taking you out" Victoria growled. I paled and backed up. Emily was making her way to the open door. Victoria didn't seem to notice.

If I could just distract her for a few minutes, Emily could run out the door and warn the others.

Emily was looking at Victoria and trying to make sure that she didn't notice her. I walked a few steps towards Victoria who tensed up and crouched down. I walked to the side as if I was getting ready to run out the door. Victoria pounced and closed the front door. Emily ran out the back door and rushed out the door. Kim rushed to the side and took her place.

Victoria didn't seem to notice since I was crouched down like she was, making her growl and distracted.

"You don't want to hurt me Victoria" I said confidently. She scoffed.

"And why is that human?" She snarled at me.

"Because once you kill me, the wolves will never give up hunting you down. My mate will not hesitate to kill you if you kill me or my child" I explained.

"Child? You mean that little girl cowering on the sofa?" she mocked. I shook my head.

"No, the one in my stomach" I said, instinct making me put a hand over my tummy.

"Oh well, what do you know? The human is pregnant. This is perfect" she said. The next minute I saw black.

Jared POV:

"There's nothing here" Sam said. Collin and Brady lowered their heads in despair and embarrassment. Sam turned to them.

"Are you sure there was something there?" he asked. They both nodded their heads furiously.

"We saw smelt something! Something sickly sweet! We turned and there was no one there. We assumed that whoever was there left or disappeared" Collin said.

"Well, whatever it was, it's gone now" Jacob said. I turned around to head back home.

"Hey! I smell something!" Seth yelled from a few feet back towards the house.

"What does it smell like?" Sam asked him.

"Sickly sweet…vampire!" he shouted. My eyes widened. That could only mean one thing.

"The twins were right. There was someone there. They were the distraction, they were supposed to lead us away. And it worked. Run!" I yelled. We ran back towards the house full speed.

"Look! It's Emily!" Jacob yelled, pointing to the figure running towards us in the distance.

Sam ran forward and took Emily in his arms.

"HELP HER! HELP BELLA! THE VAMPIRE IS AFTER HER! SHE WANTS TO HURT YOU AND SHE'S THINKING ABOUT KILLING HER!" Emily shouted. My breath caught in my throat.

"Get her to the leeches. We will see what is going on at the house" Embry said. I turned towards Emily.

"Thank you Emily! I'm not sure what's going to happen right now. I don't even know if she's there still. But I swear to God if they harm my love and our baby that leech will regret ever messing with us" I threatened.

Sam picked up Emily and ran. I rushed forward and to the house. I saw it in the distance and stopped outside the door.

"Look!" Collin said, pepping through the window into the living room. I pepped in and saw Kim and Claire huddling on the sofa. Claire was crying. I though the worst for my love, who was missing from the house.

"Bella's not there, what do we do?" I asked Jacob, who was the beta. He looked at me.

"We find her…and fight. We won't let the red haired leech take her away from where she truly belongs" Jake said. "We have to find them first. I'll call Sam and see if he can get the leeches to help us look for Bella".

I walked a few feet from the others and looked around, still trying to get a lead, or even a scent of my mate. Who knew what horrible things Victoria was doing to her. I could only imagine the grim fears my love was having right now, huddling in the corner while the leech slapped her and beat her.

I shook my head to clear it. I couldn't think of Bella being treated that way. It hurt me too much to even consider it happening to my love.

"Hey Jared" Embry said "we'll find her. We just have to gather our forces and look for her." I didn't have the energy to even smile at him. All I wanted to do was find my Bella. It's not even that hard to do. And yet I couldn't even do that. I am such a failure as a boyfriend. If only she had stayed with the leech then maybe this would never have happened.

"Jared, don't think that way dude" Collin said. I looked at him.

"How did you know what I was thinking?" I asked.

"Because you said it out loud" he said. I felt a bit embarrassed. I never knew I did that.

"Oh, well it's true" I said stubbornly.

"No its not Jared. How do you know if she stayed with them that she would be safer? You don't know that. No one knows that. You can't go around saying she'd be better of with them. She might have been having worse. And think about it, you've given her something she's always wanted. Something the leech never could have given her. A child" Brady said.

I smiled a small smile of thanks. They smiled back at me and went over to Jacob who was on his phone calling Sam.

"They are rounding up the others and are doing searches around the immediate area to see if they went around their house. If not then we will start looking from our house to here and around the area. Their scent disappeared around here so maybe they are close by" Jacob said, hanging up the phone. I nodded and led the way back home.

EPOV:

It hurt, everything hurt. My heart, my head, my body. It all began to hurt when I found out the love of my life was pregnant with someone else's baby. I felt two things: happiness and anger. Happy for her that she got something she's always wanted and that she is with someone who would take care of her and give it to her. Anger because it should have been me. I should have been the one she had the baby with. Not some pup. If I had been human I could have given it to her. She could have been happy with me and our children WE created.

I guess I'll have to just be happy being an uncle or something instead of a dad.

"Hey Edward".

Turning towards the doorway, Jasper stood looking at me. I didn't attempt to smile at him. I was too depressed and I knew that he was feeling it.

"I'm sorry Jasper. I cant help it right. I know how hard it is for you" I said, trying to make up for all these emotions running through me.

"Edward, it's fine. I just wanted to know if you wanted to talk about it?" he asked≥ I shook my head.

"No thank you. I'll be fine Jasper. There's nothing for you to do for me. I'm going to have to find a way to deal with this because I don't want to hurt you or drive you away from Alice. I'll have to just get over it. No time like the present" I said. He smiled.

"But you're my brother. What happens to you affects all of us. I just wanted to let you know that if you ever needed someone to talk to you could count on me" He said. I smiled wider just for that.

"Thanks Jazz. I just want to be alone and here right now though" I said.

"Oh, well Sam Uley's downstairs. He's on the phone with Jacob. From the looks of things, they aren't doing good right now. I thought you might want to know because I think it involves Bella" Jasper commented. I shot up and off the bed and raced downstairs.

"What's going on!" I asked. Sam had just hung up the phone and he turned to me.

"Bella's been kidnapped" he said. I grew furious.

"HOW COULD YOU LET THAT HAPPEN TO HER!" I yelled.

He never shrunk back "we didn't expect it to happen. They made a noise and we all rushed out and Emily came running to us telling us the Victoria had been in the house. I took Emily here because it was safer while the others when to look for Bella. Jared can tell you what happened. He knows more than I do. All I know is that we need your help. Will you help us?" he asked.

I nodded "we will. Carlisle what can we do?"

He came forward " as of now we can all split into groups of two and search around the area I guess. Just to see if they both came by this way and try to pick up a scent. Then we meet up if we found nothing. If we find something send us a message and we will head to your area".

"We must find Bella at all costs. She is pregnant and we don't want her to go through the depression of losing a baby" Emmett said, clearly worried.

"D-don't even b-other. It's too late for her".
