It was dark. That was the first thing I noticed as my eyes fluttered open, the second thing I noticed was a searing, head-throbbing pain. I groaned in pain turning onto my side when I felt a hard, sharp something poke into my side.
"Ouch," I mumbled fumbling around with my hand to grab whatever it was. Putting the object in front of my face, I squinted to see in the dark. It was a rock. Why was there a rock in my bed? and why was my bad so freaking hard? Did I fall asleep on the floor? outside? Confused, I pushed myself onto my knees and ended back on the floor as a unbearable pain passed throw both my arms.
I let out a shallow breath, and blinked away my tears as I looked down at my hands. Something was wrong, something was very, very wrong. That's when I heard it: a cackle. A woman's harsh cackle, that severally reminded me of lightning. Victoria? But what- and then it all came back. My breath quickened, and my mind raced as I tried to find a away out of this situation. I needed help. There was no way for me to get out: she broke my wrists.
"So? How do you like your new home?" She mocked, squatting down to my level.
"Where am I?" I asked ignoring her taunts.
"In the middle of nowhere to be exact," She laughed. Bitch.
"Being the kind hostess I am I've brought you food," A second later a bowl was in front of my face. I noticed then how hungry I was, how long had I been out? Looking into the bowl, I quickly drew back. Inside wiggling over each other where what looked like at least fifty worms.
"Eat it." She commanded all traces of laughter gone from her voice, as she towered over me.
"No." There was no way in hell I was eating worms.
"Fine." She said, as she went onto her knees. Grabbing a fistful of my hair-which was not helping my migraine- and shoved my head in the bowl.
I screamed, but quickly stopped when I felt something crawl into my mouth. I was crying and gagging and shaking my head as hard as I could. After what felt like in eternity she let me up. Pushing quickly from the bowl, I was soon puking. And she was laughing. By the time my insides settled I was now more hungry then ever.
"You are going to die. A very painful, slow, death and I am going to enjoy every single minute of it." And with that she left. Where she went or how she got out at the moment I didn't care. Laying on my back, I quickly fell asleep to through with my life.

Caius POV
How could I fall for her? How could I when I knew she would betray me! I had trusted her! How could she! And with Cullen no less! He'd better not be there when I get back or I'm going to kill.
"Master?" Question Alec as I stormed towards him and his sister.
"Come." I commanded, nodding to both of them.
"Of course, master." They replied. And with that we were leaving the Volturia. and Isabella.
(Still Caius)
"Master? Would you like us to handle the situation?" Asked Jane as her and Alec looked down at the scene before us.
"Yes," I said absently looking down at the three vampires ripping the humans apart.
"Very well." And with that they jumped from the roof and soon the sound of vampires being pulled apart started.
"Master? Master Marcus is requesting to talk to you." Alec alerted me handing me a 'Cell' as Isabella put it.
Nodding to Alec, I stood and left him and his sister to finish.
"What do you want Marcus?" I growled. Although I did not come out as loud or annoyed as I had been going for.
"You must return at once!" He shouted.
"And why must I do that?"
"Because you've made Isabella leave! and you must come and right your wrongs!"
"My wrongs? I've done nothing! It was her and Cullen! They were..seducing each other!"
"They were doing no such thing! That..that STUPID BOY FORCED HIMSELF ON
ISABELLA!" I had opened my mouth to reply, then quickly reassessed every interaction between Bella and Cullen.
"Damn." I muttered.
"Damn indeed! Isabella is gone and will most likely not come back and it is entirely your fault! And if your were not so stubborn you would have been able to fix this a month ago!"
"Well, how was I suppose to know!" I growled. Even though I knew the answer.
"You should have listened to Isabella, and you should have listened to me when I said your were mates!" He cried.
"Okay, okay. Where is she?" I asked as I made my way back to Jane and Alec.
"As far as I am aware she is where the Cullens were last stationed. You'd better fix this Caius or your'll have to deal with me...and Aro." And with that he hung up.
What was that suppose to mean? Deal with him and Aro? I was ninety percent sure I didn't want to know.
"Were leaving." I said as came upon Jane and Alec who were currently draining the rest of the blood from the humans, and putting out the fire.
"Yes, master." They said. Stopping what they were doing and quickly following me.
"Master? Can I ask where we are going?" Jane inquired.
"The States."
"Alec?" I questioned a few minutes later.
"Yes, Master?" He answered quickening his pace to stand next to me.
"You have Isabella's number do you not?"
"I do." He said nodding.
"Put it on for me."
"Would you like to text or call her?" He asked opening his phone.
"And text would be?"
"It's like a letter, but sent over the phone." He answered.
"Very well, put me on that." I said. He handed me the phone moments later.
"Stupid children of this day, like writing a letter takes so much time." I muttered as I 'texted' Isabella.
"Here." I said handing him back his phone.
"Thank you, master." He bowed quickly and fell in step with his sister.
Bella's POV
I'd become accustomed to the light or lack thereof in the cave. I could almost see clearly. I wasn't sure what time it was, I had gone to sleep several times and I wasn't sure if that was because I was tired or just to hungry to stay awake. I was starving, quite literally. I could hardly stand without feeling dizzy and falling right back down. Victoria had offered or shoved my face into a bowls of eithor worms or what seemed to be her personal favorite -beatles. I had yet to eat any of them, and I knew I wouldn't. It wasn't about not eating bugs, because honestly at this point I might. I wouldn't eat because I couldn't let Victoria think she'd won. And anyway I knew the second I started eating, showed her she had won. She'd kill me. This was all a game for her, and the moment she realized she'd won I'd be dead. Although I wasn't entirely sure I didn't want to. My stomach felt like it was eating it self. And I kept falling into these black outs and I knew one time I would close my eyes and not open them.

Caius POV
"Caius..." Sighed Aro.
"Spit it out Aro!" I growled already tired of his stalling. Why call someone if your not going to say something?
"It's about Isabella." And he officially had my attention.
"What about her?" I asked, my eyes narrowed even though he couldn't see that.
"She's...she's missing." A thousand scenarios ran through my head at the moment: from serial killer to Alice kidnapping her on a shopping trip.
"What do you mean? missing?" I asked and for once in my life hoping for the best.
"She was kidnapped, by a vampire who wants revenge for the death of her mate that was killed by Edward a few years ago."
"And why is she going after Isabella?"
"A mate for a mate." And then the phone crumbled to pieces in my hand.
"Were going to be moving fast and were not stopping until we get there." I said nodding towards Alec and Jane.
I didn't stop to hear there 'Yes, master' before taking off in the general direction of Forks, Washington. I looked murderous on the outside I was sure, but really I was scared to death.
"How could you lose her!" I thundered down at the blond.
"It wasn't her fault!" Shouted her mate coming to stand at her side.
"Emmett, just relax. It was my fault. I knew Bella was bound to get tired of are babysitting sooner or later and should have prepared for it. I'm sorry." She said turning back to me.
"Sorry, is not good enough!" Did these idiots no realize that?
"I'm aware, sir. But with all respect your not helping by sitting here and screaming at me. We'll have a better chance of finding her if we enlist some more of Bella's friends." She said calmly. To calmly for my liking. Who can be calm in a time like this?
"What? The humans? What are they going to do?"
"Not the humans. The shifters."
"Where is she!" I growled getting ready to lung at the shifter.
"We don't know! Another vampire took her!" He screamed back, he was shaking. Getting ready to attack. I didn't have time for this: I had to find her.
"We don't have time for this Paul!" Called another shifter, Jacob, I remembered from the pictures Isabella had shown me. Her best friend.
"We have to find her.." He moaned miserably.
"That we do, and I recommend we split up and report back to each other what we find." Interrupted Jasper while his wife sat in the grass next to him, eyes closed looking into the future for Isabella.
"Whatever." I mumbled turning around and running nowhere in particular. I had to find her, even if I had to search this whole miserable planet. I would find her.
"Master?" Called Jane.
"No, you and Alec stay. And do what Jasper tells you." I growled at them as I quickened my past leaving them behind.
I knew it was my fault: if I had just believed her none of this would have ever happened. She would still be in Volturia. Safe. God's I hope she's safe.
Bella POV
"Bella, oh Isabella!" Called Victoria in a disgustingly sweet voice coaxing me out of my sleep.
"What do you want?" I didn't even have the strength to be a smart ass.
"For you to die." She was serious know looking down on me.
"Then kill me." And I realized I meant it. I was to tired, and weak to put up anymore of a fight.
"I will, I just want to make your death entertaining." She said thoughtfully. I closed my eyes intending on going to sleep.
"Oh! I know!" She cried. Making my eyes snap open to look at her one more time. She looked much to happy.
"A hunt. I'll let you go..thirty minutes before I chase after you. Like hide and seek." She said clasping her hands together and sneering/smirking down at me.
"And why should I run? When I know your going to catch me?"
"Because it's your only chance to escape." And with that she went to the front of the cave and pushed and what looked like a huge rock fell to the ground. So that's why I couldn't find a way out.
"Thirty minutes start know." And then she was gone. Most likely to watch somewhere in a tree.
I contemplated over her words and I knew that I had to do this. Even though I knew I would die. I had to show her I wasn't afraid. Bringing my self to my feet I leaned on the cave wall to support myself. When I got to the cave entrance I had to close my eyes and look away because of the brightness of the sun. I hadn't seen it in days. It gave me strength or rather hope. And in the hands of a hopeless person hope can be a dangerous weapon.
Taking slow, unsteady steps I started towards the open..forest. I realized. I must still be in Washington or somewhere near it.
The light was slightly disorienting, but I managed as I walked in no particular direction. What could direction help? I had no idea which direction would lead me back home. And I doubted Victoria took us only thirty minutes from my home. Pursuing my freedom, I sped up slightly and started making my way through the forest.
A/N: Okay, so I know my Cauis POV was not the best and I'm so sorry for that! But I felt that it was needed...Anyway! Thank you all for your reviews and comments!
