Chapter 21: Getting Our Bella Back


Jasper practically dragged Bella to the Cullen's home. She had been sitting there for a half an hour without saying anything despite Jasper's nagging. She arrived under protest, which made them all the more curious about her plight.

"Bella. You have to tell them so that they can help. I don't want you doing this alone." He pulled her into an embrace as the family watched on.

"Someone took my human." She wrestled lose of Jasper's hold to hand over the notes she took from what the kidnappers said to her. "He is a good man. I was going to keep him. Ask him if he wants to be turned so that I can find him his life mate."

"You're were going to turn him into what we are?" Edward said in horror. "You can't. He should live out his life as a human."

Bella gave Edward a blank stare. Cute, but not very smart. Charlie might never find a human mate for the rest of his life. Bella knew she could give Charlie extra time to find his life mate. "No. I will turn him when I get the chance."

"So, you have it written down. A human for a human. Do you really wish for someone to die in his place?" Edward asked her. How could she be so cruel to another living human being? Oh, she ate humans but he doubted she played with her food.

"We will save both humans. All we have to do is find someone who already knows about vampires." Emmett said this as he nodded thinking that he had just struck genius. Not many vampires thought him smart. Rarely had he had an intelligent thought. However, his mate still loved him.

"Excellent." Alice cried. "The wolves know about us. They stink but they know. We could barrow one of them."

Emmett's chest puffed up with pride. "My idea."

Rosalie kissed him on the cheek, "Yes, I know." She knew that the family she lived in didn't often value his manner of thinking but she wanted him to speak up more often. She disliked it when Edward and Alice would speak in such pressing voices that lead everyone to want to listen to them. "I don't like going near those humans but I want to help."

Esme rubbed Rosalie arm, "Dear, there is only going to be two humans there. Charlie and the one Bella trades. Asking the wolves sounds like a great idea. I am so lucky to have all my children's minds working together for a common goal."

"I will give the wolves a call. No one here wants to see a human get killed." Carlisle wanted to help only after his wife insisted upon it.

They all stared at Bella as if she were to act guilty for killing humans. "It is wrong to turn him." Edward insisted.

"Well, leaving him human is hurting him. That ex-wife of his destroyed his life. She left him a broken man. If they had a kid he would be heartbroken by having her taking his kid away. The Volturi only worked me into their life, as it would have been if they had a child. I know what the research tells me."

"We will get your human back." Esme told Bella as her mate made a call for the Wolves to them get Charlie to safety.


Jane arrived with Demetri and Heidi to check on Bella. Instead, they tracked some vampires to a home nearby.

They had a human tied up inside. The human looked beaten and bloody.

Suddenly, they had an idea. "If we keep the human, Bella will have to fallow us home."

"We can't do that. She has found her mate."

"I will lose Bella if she leaves us for that mate of her's."

"She can't leave us."

They break down the door ambushing the vampires that took Charlie. "We will kill the human."

"No, we will." Jane, Heidi and Demetri attacked the three vampire in the room.

Victoria, Laurent and James bared their fangs as they were attacked by the Volturi members.

Jane jumped on top of James, delivering a quick strike to the head with the vertical part of her hand. The motion shocked him into a fall on his butt. Still, not done with James she sent a wave of power into her that made him pull his knees into himself. She watched him hallow in pain. Only then did Jane deliver another sharp blow to his head.

"Good, Bitch." Jane giggled at him as he body shivered in pain as he flopped around on the floor begging her not to hurt him. "You amuse me."

Heidi felt a punch to her cheek as Victoria hand connected with her. A second hand, connected with her nose pushing her nose further into her skull. It felt as if her brains had been scrambled in her head.

The floor cracked underneath Heidi making it difficult for her to get not bump her head on the floor.

Victoria pulled Heidi along the floor by the hair. "Taste floor." Victoria bangs Heidi's head on the floor over and over, again. "Show me some brains."

Laurent felt the swift the moment of Demetri but before he could react, Demetri locked his arm around Laurent's leg. Demetri's sent the man sailing though the air as he applied pressure to the leg then sent him flying over him with the extra pressure added to the pushing off of with his legs.

Laurent landed to have Demetri punch passed him as he locked arms with Laurent latterly applying enough pressure attempt to rip the arm right off Laurent. Demetri did not take his arm off though. He punched in the nose then ripped off his other arm.

Jane saw Heidi in pain then she griped James by the back of the head. She sent more pain though him as she sent a skull crushing pain though Victoria's body. "It ends, now."

Heidi walked slowly over to the arm. She picked it up then hit James hard in the shin with it. Then, she slapped Laurent in the face with it. "Here is your arm back."

The three vampires screamed in pain as they pleaded, begged for the pain to end. "Not yet. Heidi tied them all up. Oh, let that one have his arm back."

"Tell us the contact information for the trade." Demetri pulled up a chair to watch despair fill their minds.
