"I won't call you back again, not until I can figure out where you're going. Then I'll call you and I'll come after you and we can solve this problem TOGETHER. Until then, stay safe… please," I say. This is the sixth voice mail message I have left Emmett. I'm feeling very stressed out right now, but I really won't call him again.
"Fine," I hear from my bedroom door. I look at Jasper, standing there looking rather upset. His arms are crossed and he's staring at the floor.
"Fine what?" I ask.
"I'll tell you where he went," he says.
"What changed your mind?" I ask him.
"I heard the majority of those messages. Except, the first one I didn't hear all of because I was coming up the stairs when you left it so I didn't hear everything you said," he says and he comes inside.
"Are you serious?" I ask.
"I think you need to know," he says.
"Thank you," I say. Jasper tells me where Emmett went. He tells me about how long it'll take me to get there, with out stopping. Since Emmett had about a two or three hour head start I probably shouldn't stop unless I absolutely have to.
"Edward and I will follow you, in about an hour or so," Jasper tells me right before I leave. "Maybe even Carlisle, but we can't come right away. We will try getting there quickly though."
"Thank you," I say again. I'm determined to get to Emmett. Hopefully, he has stopped a few times and I can get there the same time as him. If I go non stop; this is going to be a challenge.
The whole drive goes smoothly. I only stop once and that's towards the end of the drive, when I'm almost at my destination. I pull into a parking lot and look up at the building. It didn't take that long for me to arrive here. At least, I don't think it did. Jasper told me it might take a day, but it only took about 22 hours. I bet Emmett has been here for at least four hours.
It is dark out but I can kind of see Emmett's car. I decide not to park near him. I get out of the car and look at the building. There are five stories, but it looks like it's not exactly complete at the top. Almost as if the top floor isn't finished yet. Jasper mentioned something about construction. Quickly, I walk to the front door. I pull it and am surprised to find it unlocked. I had thought Royce would make it more difficult.
I step inside and start walking around. Finally I find a stair case. I run up the stairs and open the first door I see. Then, I shut it. I think about the floors above me. Royce wouldn't hide on the second floor. He would hide at the top it's a weird thing; his always wanting to be on top; be in charge. I start going up the stairs again. This time I make sure I go quietly. One of the movies I did required some hard core training in martial arts. The trainer taught us how to be light on our feet.
Finally I get to the top landing. The door has a tiny window in it and I look out it before I open the door. However, when I do I see that this floor doesn't even have the floor built in yet. I can see some of the floor below. It has a floor built and some walls are up. However, up here, there are only a few support beams. I close the door and lean against it.
This doesn't change my theory. Royce must just be on the fourth floor instead of the fifth. That's all; no big deal. I start to carefully walk down the stairs and I reach the landing. I look through the little window and see light. I open it and step out of the stair well and onto the fourth floor. I hear quiet voices. It sounds like a woman and… Emmett. Has he been captured, what's happening? Quietly, I walk toward the source of light and sound. That's when I see it. A woman is straddling Emmett and she's kissing him. Was his whole mission to come out here and meet up with this woman? Is Royce even here? He must be, Jasper said he is. I hear myself gasp and the woman looks at me.
I look down and hear a strange sound but dismiss it. When I look back up, the woman stands and so does Emmett. I swallow and fight the tears back. I won't cry here; in front of her.
"Where's Royce?" I ask, trying to sound as composed as I can.
"Through that door," the woman says, I swear I see her smirk.
"Thank you," I say and then I look at Emmett. He cheated on me… horrible feelings flood my body. I can feel my heart breaking. I step fore ward and smack Emmett in the face. I know it's kind of a cliché but it does make me feel a little bit better.
"Don't slap him!" the woman says. I narrow my eyes the slightest bit. Then I think of something. Royce is through that door, and I can't take him down. Even though I'm mad at Emmett, I do have a plan to get us out of this mess.
"I was hoping you would say that," I whisper and then I slap the woman, too. I see Emmett's eyes widen as the lady raises her fist to punch me. Now I'm practically in a fist fight with this woman and Emmett is just standing there, watching.
"You stupid bitch," the woman says as I dodge her.
"Yep that's me, the stupid bitch. But Emmett is stupider," I shout, "because he hasn't gone after Royce yet!" I see Emmett hesitate and then run off to the room that Royce is in. that's how I let Heidi out of my sight. I turn around quickly enough to see her pull the trigger of a gun. I dodge the bullet and when I look back at the door Emmett went through, it's closed.
I quickly look around and then I see a gun that looks a lot like one of Emmett's near the chair he was in. I run over there and grab it. Then I notice ropes. Had he been tied to the chair? Was that woman doing those things to him while he was tied up? Had he just been her captive?
"What are you doing with that, blondie?" the woman hisses.
"Excuse, I haven't properly introduced myself, my name is Rosalie," I say with as much fake sweetness I can muster.
"I'm Heidi," the bitch says. She gets closer to me, gun pointed at my chest. I point Emmett's gun right at her chest and she scowls.
"Nice to meet you, Heidi," I say sarcastically.
"Oh, is Rosalie mad that I was screwing around with her boy friend?"
"Fiancée, actually and yes, I'm mad," I say and I pull the trigger of the gun. Never before had I thought I would kill a person, but Heidi drops right then and there. I walk over to her and open up her blouse. She didn't have a bullet proof vest on. Obviously, she didn't think she might be killed, too. I peak down my shirt and smile at the bullet proof vest Jasper gave me.
I stand up and walk over to the door. I grab the handle and turn the knob. It isn't locked. Maybe Royce wanted that; maybe he wanted me to walk in on him killing Emmett, and then kill me, also. I open the door and see Emmett standing across from Royce. They both look at me. Royce seems surprised, so does Emmett. Then I wonder if they heard the two gun shots and thought I was the one dead. Then I notice, Emmett doesn't have a gun, but Royce does. Before I can do anything, Royce pulls the trigger and Emmett goes down. Royce grabs my hair and pulls me into the room. He shoves me against the wall and holds his gun to my head. I'm scared and don't know what to do.
"Drop your gun," he snarls. I notice how close we are to Emmett's body. I look at him and hope he had a bullet proof vest on and is just kind of stunned, or faking it. I drop his gun. As soon as I make sure Royce won't notice I kick the gun as close to Emmett as I can.
"What do you want?" I snarl.
"I want, what should have been mine in the first place," Royce says as he pulls at my pants. "Emmett always got the girls. Heidi, she was his ex-girlfriend. I didn't get her until after he had her. You were mine, first; he doesn't deserve you."
"No, Royce, that's not it at all. I don't deserve you and that's why I left you. I deserve better than you," I say and I spit in his face. He narrows his eyes at me and finally gets my pants down. I know what he's planning to do.
"You'll pay for everything you've done, Rosalie," he says.
He pulls down his pants and boxers in one swift motion. Then he pulls down the thong I'm wearing. I'm surprised he didn't simply rip it off. I feel him enter me and it hurts. Everything about him hurts; his hands squeezing my arms way to tight, his mouth sucking and biting every where against my will. However, what hurts the most is that Emmett is in the room. Whether or not he's dead, or just pretending, he's still here. Royce looks me in the eyes and smiles. I'm assuming the tears are what make him so happy. Then he punches me; not on the nose, but closer to my left eye.
What happens next surprises me. Royce is yanked back wards. My head is spinning from the punch and I can feel my left eye already swelling up. However, I see Emmett, holding him against the wall. He has his gun pointed at Royce's chest. I close my eyes and hear the shot ring out. Then I hear another shot.
"Was shooting him twice necessary?" I ask, keeping my eyes shut.
"Yes," Emmett says. Then I feel his hands pull up my thong and my jeans. His strong arms wrapping around me are comforting, but it hurts. Royce left bruises, I'm sure of it. Emmett picks me up and I feel him walking away, out of the room and then down some stairs. Finally, when I feel fresh air, I open my eyes. We're in the parking lot and it's gotten a little lighter than it was when I arrived here. Emmett sets me on my feet and looks down at me.
"Are you okay, to drive home?" he asks carefully.
"I think so," I say.
"Okay, well I'll follow you home then," he says.
"You're not tired?" I ask. He looks at the building and then at me.
"I am a bit, but it's not that bad," he says. he looks at the building once again.
"What if their bodies are found like that?" I ask.
"They won't be," he says.
"What do you mean?" I ask. Emmett points at the building and I see a couple men going inside.
"They worked for Royce. They will take care of the bodies," Emmett says.
"Why won't they tell?" I ask.
"Because, I'm the boss now," Emmett says.
"How does that work?" I ask.
"Whoever kills the boss becomes the boss. They're going to get rid of Royce's body and Heidi's. They'll clean up the mess and destroy all evidence. Except the security camera footage," he says.
"Why not the footage?" I ask.
"I want the footage, that's why," he says. "Stay here for a moment" I watch him run over and pull a man aside. The man nods and goes into the building.
"What are you going to do now?" I ask.
"I think I'll turn the business around, make it a protection agency. None of these guys are really bad. Most of them were tricked into it. That man, his name is Todd and he's going to make sure the tapes are all removed from the building and delivered to me. all other evidence is going to be destroyed," Emmett says.
"Oh," I say.
"So, are you ready to go home?" Emmett asks. I nod and he walks me to my car. Once I'm in I wait for him to get to his car. Then I begin the long drive home. Emmett said he would follow me and make sure nothing happens.
As I drive home I question how I feel about Emmett now. I still love him, but I don't know. He may have been cheating on me with his ex-girlfriend Heidi. I've yet to find out the details of that. Plus, he saw Royce rape me. So, even if he was tied up by Heidi and wasn't willing being with her; I still don't know how I feel about being with him. I don't want him to look at me all the time and see Royce taking advantage of me. I don't want him to pity me or think of me differently. I just don't know what's going to happen now.
The End…. Just kidding. This isn't the end; I'm still going to write one or two more chapters and then an epilogue. Or maybe not an epilogue. I'm not sure about that, yet. I started playing around with what's going to happen next, like ideas and such. There will be a third and final story for this. Royce may be dead now, but Rosalie and Emmett's problems are only, about, half way resolved. So, please review, remember that Twilight is not mine and thank you for reading.
