Chapter Two
Week One, Day One…
Paul LaHote was sitting at his desk, at his part-time construction job, enjoying a quiet lunch by himself. He was one of the main providers for his family, he brings more money home to his wife, then she does at her job. Today was the last week of summer before the first day of school starts. He and his wife were planning to take the girls along with Sam and Emily's family to the local camp grounds.
The phone that began to ring on his desk took him away from his turkey sandwich. Dusting off his hands he picked up the receiver.
"Hello," he spoke into the phone. "This is Paul LaHote, how can I help you?"
"Paul," his father-in-law's voice came from the other end, "you have to get home."
"What happened?" Paul demanded.
Several thoughts went through his head. Did something happen to his kids? Did something happen to his wife? Something couldn't happen to his wife, she was his imprint. If something did happen to her he would have felt it. All he felt through their imprint bond was some calm emotions, as if she was sleeping.
Charlie sighed through the phone, "she's gone, Paul. Someone kidnapped her."
"Who's gone?" Paul snapped into the phone.
"Bella," Charlie said with emotion. He never used real emotions, unless one of his close friends of the family was in serious trouble. "She was recently abducted."
Fury tremors went through his body. Paul took in a deep breath, not wanting to change into a giant ball of fur. Once the tremors stopped, he picked the phone back up, "I'm on my way."
He slammed the phone on the receiver, breaking the phone in two. He stormed out of his office, the regular human works stayed far away from him. Sam Uley, his best friend from the age of four and second in command in the pack with Paul the leader, made his way over to him.
Paul angrily marched his way over to the edge of the forest. Sam stepped in right behind him, "Paul, what the fuck is wrong with you?" Sam demanded.
Paul punched a tree to relieve some anger, "She was recently abducted! My wife was fucking, kidnapped!"
Sam's eye instantly went wide, "How? When? Where? Do you think it was a vampire?"
Paul ran a hand through his short black hair, "I don't know, Sam. Charlie just called and informed me that she was recently captured." Paul took in a deep breath. "I want you, to get the pack, and go to Charlie's house as soon as you can. We don't know what we're dealing with."
"Sure man," Sam replied. "We'll be there."
Sam went to the other end of the woods, and disappeared through the dense forest.
Paul stomped his way through the edge of the forest, breaking small twigs here and there. Once he was further into the woods, he jumped into the air, breaking his clothes in the process.
The wind blew his grey fur; his paws destroyed anything that was one the ground. Paul and wolf were both furious. They wanted their imprint. His mind was a jumbled mess. Half-way to Charlie's house, he was able to hear Sam talking to other members of the pack.
Meanwhile…
Sue Swan was in her home taking care of her older daughter, Leah, who was seven months pregnant, with her first child. Leah's husband, Mike Newton, owned his family's business right in Forks. She was also taking care of her three grandchildren; Callie, Farah, and Rick.
She was in the middle of making several dishes for tonight's party. As she was thinly slicing a tomato, a loud crash came from the room.
"Mom," Leah called from the living room. "I think you should see this."
Sue left the kitchen in a hurry; thankfully she didn't cook anything on the stove. She ran into the room, in a hurry thinking that her pregnant daughter somehow fell off of the couch.
"What's going on?" she demanded, hands on her hips. She didn't bother looking at the television, but she did notice that her daughter's cup was now on her hardware floor. "You called me in here for a cup!"
"No," Leah snapped at her, while her eyes were focusing on the television. "Can you please watch, the television for a second."
"Welcome, back," the female reporter said looking into the video recorder. "Top news, there was a breaking in, at Chase bank here in Port Angeles. Also, there was a kidnapping involved at the very same bank. The couple who robbed the bank also kidnapped a woman, twenty-four year old Isabella LaHote. If you have any information, please call Port Angeles police department, back to you Kim."
Sue sat down on the sofa, "Bella's kidnapped."
Both women's eyes landed to the kids at the other side of the living room. They were so innocent. Both women jumped up at the sound of the back door opening, and slamming shut. Sue and Leah both went to check it out.
Charlie and Paul came in from the backyard. Soon after most of the pack men and their imprints followed. Emily and Kim took the children into the other room.
"Charlie, what did the police say?" Paul demanded.
Charlie tiredly rubbed his eyes. He was getting to old for this. "They haven't identified the two criminals so far. The word only has gotten out now that she was recently taken. Legally the only thing we can do is waiting."
"Do you think she was now taken by vampires?" Seth asked.
"Don't know," Charlie sighed. "They were wearing sun glasses. So the security camera wasn't able to check his eyes."
"What time was she kidnapped?" Megan asked.
"An hour to two hours ago," Charlie answered.
"Can't one of the guys, go near the bank, on the opposite side, to see if that area smells like a vampire just roamed," Megan said.
"Why didn't we think of that?" Jared asked.
"I don't know, man," Embry said placing a hand on the guy's shoulder.
"But how long will the vampire smell last?" Charlie asked.
"Four to five hours," Paul answered.
"Well then who will go," Leah said.
"Seth," Paul and Sam both called out.
"He has the best sense of smell out of everyone in the pack," Sam told them.
"Seth and Jared, I want you to both go," Charlie commanded. "Paul and I will go to the police station and see if they found anything. Have your cell phone's on."
"Yes, sir," the pack said at the same time.
Seth went to hug his brother, Paul, and his mother before leaving with Jared. The rest of the pack was just sitting there, not knowing what to do.
Port, Angeles, WA with Seth and Jared…
The ride was now filled with tension. Both men just plainly stared out the window, and listened to the local new on the radio. Both men were going to stay on alert for the first time in two years.
Jared decided to park the car four blocks away from the bank. Not wanting to bring any more attention to them.
"Alright man let's go," Jared said stepping out of the truck.
"There are so many people here," Seth said in a whisper. Jared was the only one that was able to hear it. Near the front of the bank, were several cops, reporters, and people who are a terrible gossip.
Seth took in a big gulp of air and exhaled. He did that for several minutes.
Jared looked at him impatiently, "So did you find anything?"
Seth glared at his older brother, something that he never really did. "No Vampires, if that is what you're asking? Except there is something off about two sense that are nearly to the point of fading. I have a feeling something isn't right."
"Why don't we go over to that café, and wait while the crowd dies down. You now to see if the smell if coming from one of them."
"Good idea," Seth responded with a small smile. "You're paying."
"Fine," Jared said rolling his eyes.
Halfway through their meal, Mike Newton came out of the building next door. His business jacket was off, and his blue sleeve shirts was now rolled to his elbows. His dirty blond hair was sticking up everywhere. He caught side of the two shape-shifters and made their way over.
"Hey, guys," Mike started. "Do you know what happened over there?"
"Yeah," said Jared before taking a sip of his drink.
"That place was recently been robbed..." Seth started.
"And Bella was recently taken from there," finished Jared.
"So did they find her yet?" Mike asked, taking a seat in between the two guys.
"We didn't hear anything at all," Seth stated.
"Although we were now ordered here so Seth can smell the area to see if it was a vampire," Jared said.
"So was it a vampire?" Mike asked.
The two guys shared a brief, look at each other. Seth turned to Mike, "No. But there is a smell here that is not from a vampire or human. I have a bad feeling about this."
"Why was she at the bank to begin with?" Mike asked.
"For the party that were suppose to happen tonight," Seth told him. "She needed to get some things for Callie and Farah, too."
"So what happens now?" Mike asked.
"We wait until we can get a lead," Jared said.
Back seat of a car, Location Unknown…
Bella blinked her brown eyes, several times, trying to block out the light of the fading sun. Her hands were at this time tied behind her back, with a red headband was presently tied over her mouth, and her feet were also tied together.
In the front of the car a man a woman were talking back and forth in a language she didn't fully understand. But it kind of sounded a bit like Latin.
Bella remembered everything that happened before she blacked out. She remembers a little of the facial stricter of the two criminals, although she was in a panic to remember exactly what they looked like. She twisted her head a bit to the side, in the end of her sight of the vision, didn't give her enough, room without them realizing she has been awake.
She wasn't really able to see their features since she was laying, on her side. Her face was right next to the leather of the car. Her eyes were heavy, and she tried to see any landmarks out the window as she could have. Right now it failed, as she drifted off to sleep.
Denali, Alaska, Cullen house hold…
Alice was in the family kitchen, even though they really didn't need one, flipping through her latest Vogue fashion magazine. Everyone was doing something; Rose and Emmett were at Esmé Island for two weeks. Carlisle was at work in the nearest hospital. Esmé was fixing the guest bedrooms. Jasper was in the study reading about the civil war, again. Edward and Tanya were out in the forest by themselves doing god-knows-what.
All of a sudden, Alice ran to the Television, and flipped to the news channel that had the news for Forks and the surrounding areas. At the eight o'clock news, a single picture of Bella's appeared. Alice let out a heartbreaking whimper.
Jasper, felt the emotions' sift dramatically. He went to go and investigate who, was feeling that amount of pain. He had been surprised to see that it was his wife, Alice. Her tiny pixie like body was shaking incredibly.
"Why didn't I see this," she whispered so low that if you didn't have super well hearing you would have missed it.
"What didn't you see?" he questioned.
"It's Bella," she said turning her honey gold eye to him. "She's missing!"
