Sebastian
BPOV
We were in Andrew's car, driving away from the hotel. Jack was sat in the back with me. I looked at him and noticed he was watching me, he looked away when he saw me.
"Can you at least tell me what the man wanted with me? Why did he kidnap me?" I asked him.
He sighed. "I don't know the full plan, but I know he wanted us to impersonate your family."
"But why? What would that gain?"
Jack shook his head. "Andrew? Did he tell you any more?"
Andrew turned and glared at me. "This is all your fault, you know. Well it's probably Jack's as well. But anyway, yes, he told me he wanted to hire you. He's building an army, to fight the Volturi, and take over control."
"Then why did he order you to kill me? If he wanted to hire me?" I asked, confused.
Andrew shrugged. "He must have found someone to replace you."
"And what about Nessie? What did you do with her?" I leaned forward, matching Andrew's glare.
"I gave her back to…the man we work for. He wanted to use her as leverage."
I closed my eyes tightly. My poor daughter. I hoped she was alright.
"And Edward? And my family? Where are they?"
"The last I heard, they'd escaped. Jane was keeping them locked up, but they escaped and took her with them."
"And why didn't Edward remember me when I went home?"
"That wasn't Edward, it was one of Jane's friends. His power is that he can take anyone's face, and make it into his own. Is that all of your questions answered?"
I nodded. It was good news that Edward had managed to escape. I looked back at Jack and he seemed sad, when he saw me looking, he looked away, out of the window. We drove in silence for another hour.
Andrew stopped the car and dragged me out. I looked around, we were in a clearing in the middle of some woods.
"Where are we?" I asked Jack. He shrugged and looked at Andrew.
"I'm calling on a few favors from some friends of mine." He said, and then he waited. We stood there for about half an hour, before Andrew sighed and took out his mobile phone.
"You couldn't have done that 30 minutes ago?" Jack asked. Andrew just rolled his eyes, but before he could dial a number, two wolves bounded into the clearing. I took a step back. They were unfamiliar wolves, I didn't recognise them. I briefy wondered if they knew Jake. Andrew sighed. "Human form please?" The wolves left the clearing and returned five minutes later as humans.
"Andrew. How can we help?" The taller one asked, he looked about Jake's age. He had dirty blonde hair, and a cheeky grin.
"We're on the run, and we need somewhere to hide. He won't think to look for us with werewolves."
The shorter boy raised his eyebrows. He was brunette, with long shaggy hair. "Him, as in him?You're on the run from Sebastian?"
I stepped forward again. "Sebastian? Who's he?"
Andrew sighed and looked up to the sky. "We kept the name from her for so long."
The taller one stepped forward and offered me his hand. "You must be Bella, I'm Chris. And this is Ben." He said gesturing to the shorter one.
I shook his hand. "Hi. How do you know who I am?"
Chris grinned. "Oh we're well aware of Sebastian's attempts to employ you in his army."
"Oh, do you know Jake? Jacob Black?" I thought it was worth a try.
Ben nodded. "Oh yeah, I know Jake."
Andrew interrupted us. "Enough chit-chat. Can you hide us?"
Chris nodded. "Take them Ben."
Ben started to lead us away from the clearing, when Chris stopped me.
"Not Bella. I want to talk."
Jack shook his head. "No she comes with us. We haven't come this far to lose her now."
Chris laughed. "Oh relax, Jack. I'm not going to hurt her. I just want her to see something."
Jack stepped forward, but Andrew stopped him. "It's fine. I know Chris, I trust him. He'll bring her to us in an hour, right?" He asked Chris. Chris nodded. "Yep." Jack finally agreed, and he and Andrew followed Ben.
I turned to Chris. "So what did you want to show me?" I asked him.
Chris grinned. "You asked about Jake, right?" I nodded. "Well, I know where he is, if you want to meet him?"
I shrieked and hugged him tightly.
"I'll take that as a yes." He led me out of the clearing in the opposite direction that Andrew and Jack had gone. We walked for about 10 minutes before we reached a small house that I'd never seen before.
"Jake? Someone's here to see you." Chris called into the house. I waited, and then I saw Jack come out of the house. He hadn't seen me yet, he jumped over the railing and walked towards us. When he finally saw me, his face lit up. I ran towards him, and he hugged me tightly.
"Jake! I'm so glad to see you! They're all gone! He's taken my family! And Nessie! She's gone! He wants to kill me now, because we escaped! Jake, where have you been?" I sobbed into his shoulder.
He stroked my hair and patted my back. "I know, I know. I've been searching all over for you! Don't worry, you're safe now."
I extracted myself from him. Chris nodded at me. "Let's go, I'd better get you back to Andrew and Jack, before they come searching for you."
"Who and who?" Jake asked, keeping his hand on my arm.
"It's fine, Jake. They're looking after me. Could you please look for Edward and Nessie?" I said, gently removing Jake's hand from my arm.
He nodded. "Of course. I'll meet you later."
I smiled at him, kissed him on the cheek, and then followed Chris back.
"Let's drive back, it'll be quicker, and Jack's probably already stressing out about you." Chris sighed. I nodded in agreement and got into his truck that was waiting nearby. We drove for about 20 minutes.
"Are you sure we're going the right way? It seems to be taking longer than on the way there."
Chris didn't look at me. "We're going the right way."
It was at this point that I started to feel worried. "Where are you taking me? This isn't the same way that we went before."
Chris smiled. "Did you really think that I would hide you from Sebastian? Why would I risk my life to save yours?"
I started to panic. "Hi, Bella." I whirled around, and saw Andrew sitting in the back of the truck.
"Andrew, what's going on?" I yelled.
"I know Jack's got a little crush on you at the moment, but he'll get over it. It's not worth dying for. So I called Sebastian, apologized, and agreed to meet up with him, and hand you over." Andrew smiled wickedly. "I am sorry, Bella." He didn't look sorry though.
I tried to get out of the car, but Andrew glared at me, and I suddenly felt a piercing, burning pain.
I screamed in pain, and curled up in the front seat. I was dimly aware of Chris talking to Andrew.
"You don't have to hurt her that much. Just knock her out, so we can get her to Sebastian."
I didn't hear anything else after that as my whole world started to go black. My last thought, Edward, where are you?

We started to follow the woman from the hotel, when my phone started to ring. I vaguely remembered grabbing it when we had left the house. I answered it.
"Cullen? You finally picked up!" Jacob's voice greeted me.
"Jake? I'm kind of busy at the moment." I was about to hang up, when Jake stopped me.
"I saw Bella today."
I stopped walking, stunned. The rest of my family stared at me in shock. They had heard too.
"What? Where?"
"She came round to Ben's house earlier. She's fine, don't worry."
"We're on our way now. What happened? Was she ok?"
"Yeah, she's fine. She went back to two other guys, erm…Andrew and Jack I think. She said they're looking after her, that she's alright and she told me to look for you guys."
I sighed in relief. Thank god. Bella was alright.
"So where is she now?"
"Chris is hiding all three of them from whoever they're running from, whoever kidnapped her."
"So she's definitely safe?"
"Yeah, dude. She's fine. Is Nessie with you guys? Bella told me to look for her too."
I closed my eyes in frustration. "No, she's not with us. She wasn't with Bella?"
Suddenly the phone was whipped out of my hand and thrown to the ground, I looked up in shock. I'd been so involved in the conversation with Jake, that I hadn't noticed my family had disappeared. Standing in front of me was a tall vampire, with black hair and black eyes. He was smirking at me. Standing behind him was Jane and two other vampires. She was also smiling wickedly at me.
"Who are you? What have you done with my family?" I asked him.
He simply grinned. "I've been looking forward to meeting you, Edward." He offered me his hand. "Hello, I'm Sebastian. I kidnapped your wife and daughter."
