Rescue

Heyy guys, thanks for the reviews and keep them coming please :)

JPOV (Jake's, not Jasper's)

Edward stepped into the kitchen, just after Bella left.

"What happened? Where's Bella?" He asked me, looking concerned.

I frowned, not knowing what to tell him. "I think Bella's in trouble, she just left and she was crying, a lot." I replied.

His look of concern grew.

"Who was on the phone?"

"I don't know. We should go after her." I told him, but he was still looking at the phone. He went over and pressed redial and put the phone on speaker. I moved over to join him, and we listened to the phone ring on the other end. Eventually someone picked up.

"Hello?" Alice's voice.

"Alice? It's Edward. Did Bella just ring you?"

"Oh, yeah she did, just now."

"What did she say?"

"She wanted to know where Jasper was, I told her that he had just left to find her, and she said alright and hung up. Why? What's going on?"

"How did she sound?" I interrupted.

"Jake? Is that you? What are you doing there?"

"Answer the question, Alice." Edward said, tiredly.

"Upset, I think." She replied, sounding hurt.

"Thanks, Alice. Has Jasper got back?"

"No, he hasn't. I tried ringing him, but he's not picking up."

Edward sighed in frustration and hung up.

"What now? Who was on the phone before?" I asked Edward.

"He didn't say. It was a man, he just wanted to speak to Bella."

"Don't you have that thing on your phone? Where you dial a number, and it tells you the last number that rang your phone?"

"Yeah, I think we do." He sounded neutral, but I could tell he was impressed with the idea. He rang the number, and waited. Finally he put the phone down. "The number was withheld."

"How are we going to find her, Jacob?"

"Well we have one more option. We do live in the 21st century, so maybe, we could try ringing her?"

He rolled his eyes at me, and took out his phone. "Probably not the time for jokes, Jake."

"We don't know for certain anything bad has happened to her, just cos she was upset doesn't mean she's in danger." I told him, doing my best to sound reassuring. I didn't think it worked though.

"Oi, speakerphone." I told him.

He put the phone on the counter between us, and we listened to it ring.

"Hello?" Bella's voice. I sighed in relief.

"Bella! Where are you?" Edward asked.

"Look, Edward, I can't talk right now."

"No! Look Bella, if something's wrong you have to tell me, please?"

"I love you, Edward." She replied, softly.

"No, Bella! Do not do this! Don't think you can do this on your own! Talk to us, please." I interrupted.

"Jake? Just please trust me."

"Just tell us where you're going at least. What happened?"

"No phones." We heard a gruff voice on the other end.

"Who was that, Bella?" Edward asked.

"Look, I have to go now. Just…put my coat back in the cupboard, alright Jake?"

"I said, no phones!" The gruff voice said again. We heard Bella shout in pain and then she was gone.

Edward sank back against the counter.

"What was that about the coat?"

I frowned, in confusion. "I don't know."

I left Edward, and walked over to the sofa, where Bella had left her coat. I picked it up, and was staring at it, when I heard Edward come up behind me.

"She sounded like she was in danger, what did she mean about the coat? It must have been a message or something." Edward murmured.

I nodded in agreement, and turned the coat over in my hands. The pocket felt heavier on one side. I reached in and drew out Bella's old phone.

"What's that? Isn't that Bella's old phone?" Edward asked, seeing what I had taken out.

Understanding dawned on me.

"She wants me to ring back."

"Ring who? Her again?"

I shook my head.

"She wants me to change the past."

Edward looked at me like I'd gone crazy. "Look, Jake, I know you're worried about Bella, but we should really focus on finding her now."

"I don't have time to explain this to you, but we have to do this. I think wherever Bella's gone, it has something to do with Jasper. We have to ring him in the past."

Edward still didn't seem to remember. The last time Bella had changed the past must have made him forget everything, but I didn't have time to do this. I walked away, and found Jasper in the contacts, but I hesitated before I rang him. What was I supposed to be saying to him?

BPOV

The driver snatched the phone from me and crushed it under his foot. I'd been so focused on talking to Jake and Edward, I hadn't realized we'd pulled over.

"Where are we?" But he'd gone back to his policy of ignoring me. He yanked me out of the car and dragged me to a small cottage. We were in some sort of woods. I prayed that Jake had understood my message and was in the process of changing the past.

As the driver shoved me into the house, I heard Jasper yelling in pain.

"Jasper!" I ran towards the sounds, and burst into a nearby room.

An young man, who I didn't recognize, was in the process of sliding a knife down Jasper's arm. The blood was trickling down, and the man was grinning.

"Stop!" I cried.

The man whirled around, holding up the knife. I took a step backwards. Jasper closed his eyes when he saw me.

"No, Bella." He said softly. "Why did you come?"

The man grinned at me. "Jasper, aren't you going to introduce us? Where are your manners?"

Jasper sighed. "Bella, this is Riley, my brother."

Riley smiled, viciously, and offered me his hand. I didn't take it.

"Rude, but it's ok. We'll have plenty of time to get to know each other."

"I'm here, let him go!" I yelled at him.

He shook his head. "So I hear you came from the past? Time travelling is something I'm very interested in."

I glared at him. "Why? Why do you care? How could you do this to your own brother?" I asked, indicating the blood.

"So many questions…where to start? I want to know how you did it? How did you time travel?"

"I didn't do it on purpose. It was an accident."

He nodded, accepting my words. What was taking Jake so long? How come he hadn't rang yet? Why was I still here?

"Tell me everything. How did it happen?" He gestured to a nearby seat. "Please, sit."

"First let Jasper go. Then I swear, I'll tell you everything."

He considered my request. Finally he nodded.

"Matthew?" He called. The driver entered. "Take my brother back home, but make sure he doesn't know how to get back here again."

Matthew nodded and dragged Jasper from the room.

"Now, start from the beginning. Where did you start your time travelling?"

JPOV

I stared at the phone for what felt like ages. What was I supposed to tell Jasper? I had no idea what Bella was doing or where she was? How was I meant to change the past?

Edward was pacing around the room, trying to come up with ideas to find Bella. A banging on the door interrupted us both. Edward rushed to open it. Our first thoughts were of Bella. However it was Jasper, covered in blood.

"Jasper!"

"Hurry! My brother, he has Bella. We have to help her."

"Your brother?" Edward asked.

"He's a psychopath. He wants to know how Bella managed to time travel."

He saw the phone in my hand. "That's it! You have to ring me!"

He snatched the phone off me and started dialing a number. Then he handed me the phone. "Tell me not to tell my brother anything about Bella."

I suddenly understood where he was going with this. I took the phone, and pressed speaker phone.

Jasper's voice greeted me. "Bella? Is this you?"

"No, it's Jake. Listen to me, when Bella comes back and explains everything in 10 years, don't tell Riley anything about it."
"Wait, what are you talking about?"

"Just please listen to me, alright?" I hung up. "Will that be enough?" I asked Jasper.

"It has to be, for Bella's sake."

We all stood in silence, waiting for something to happen.

It happened instantly. One minute I was standing in the living room with Edward and Jasper, and then suddenly Bella was there.

She looked around in confusion and I could tell she remembered. But Jasper and Edward's faces told me they didn't.

Edward looked genuinely happy. "So anyway, I booked the table for 7pm. That's not too late is it?"

He turned to Jasper. "Alice said you were picking Caitlyn up and you would meet us there. We're going with Rose and Emmett."

Jasper nodded. "Yep, and I'll meet you guys there."

Bella looked at me and took a deep breath. "That's perfect." She leaned over and kissed Edward.

"I…have to go. See you tonight." I murmured, and hurriedly left the house. I could feel Bella staring at me as I left.

BPOV

Jasper left soon after Jake, and it was just Edward and I. He grinned at me, and leaned in to kiss me again. I smiled and then I remembered Riley's vicious grin and I shuddered.

Edward immediately had his arms around me. "What's wrong?"

I shook my head. "Nothing." And I leaned in to kiss him again.

Later that night, at the restaurant, we met up with the rest of the gang. Alice and Jasper seemed happy together, and I was confident that everything would be all right again.

The live music gently washed over me. And I leaned into Edward who had his arm around me. The singer finished his set.

'Wow!" Alice exclaimed. "Your brother is amazing at singing, Jasper." She smiled warmly at him, as I felt my blood freeze.

"Yeah, I never knew Riley was such a good singer." Rose grinned.

I looked at Jake and his expression mirrored mine. I felt like I was falling, as someone tapped me on the shoulder.

I turned around slowly, until I was looking into Riley's deep golden eyes.

"You didn't think you were getting rid of me that easily, did you? He smirked. "When someone kidnaps a time traveller, they take certain precautions to ensure that certain parts of the past can't be changed. So maybe I didn't kidnap you in this version of the future, but I still know about you. And I still want to know every little detail about your time travelling experience. And I am willing to do whatever it takes to get that information…"

He spoke softly, so no one else could hear him. Then he grinned, viciously, and walked around the rest of the table, as everyone congratulated him on his singing. I felt my blood run cold, as his eyes never left mine.
