Chapter 9: Edward's Rage

Edward's POV

"Renesmee wait!" Bella and I shouted at the same time. We ran after as fast as we could, but soon she was out of sight. "Where could she be?" Bella asked. "I have no idea, but we'll find her. I promise" I replied.

We searched for a very long time. Hours had gone by and we still had not found her. "I'm getting really worried Edward. What if she's hurt" Bella said. No, she can't be hurt. She has to be fine. I wanted to reassure Bella that Nessie was fine, but the truth is that I was feeling the same way. "We will find her soon" I vowed.

Then suddenly I caught whiff of her scent. I ran in the direction that her scent was coming from and Bella followed. "You found her scent?" Bella asked. "Yes, the scent is a little old but I'm sure that she came through here" I said. "Oh thank goodness" she said.

I started searching the minds of various people just hoping that someone had seen her. Finally I saw her face flash through someone's mind. My relief suddenly turned into horror when I realized that someone had her gagged and tied up. This guy was not alone either. There were two others with him.

They were all thinking the same vile and repulsive things. I've never felt so much rage! How dare they! How dare they even think about raping my daughter! I am going to kill those bastards!

"Who should go first?" asked one of the guys. I could not help the monstrous growl that forced it's way out of my chest. "I think I should go. I never get to go first" the second guy said.

I rounded the corner and I was horrified at the sight I saw. The guy had exposed himself. I could see the fear written all over Nessie's face as she thrashed around and tried to scream. It was clear that they had hit her multiple times. What also infuriated me was that those guys had forcibly undressed her.

Then my mind erupted in pure rage. I had never felt so angry in my entire existence. I was going to kill those sick bastards for even touching her and thinking even thinking about raping her.

I picked up the three guys and threw them against the wall. "You sick bastards! How dare you ever go near her! That is my daughter you decided to mess with and let me just say this you managed to piss off the wrong father!" I shouted as I continued to hit them. They were shocked and speechless.

"Daddy?" came my little girl's voice. I looked up at her and she immediately ran into my arms. "I'm so sorry I shouldn't have run off like that" she said as she started to cry into my shirt. "It's okay Ness. Let's just get you home" I said and I picked her up and carried her all the way back.

I was so angry. Those bastards are lucky that I left them alive. I wanted to kill them, but my daughter's needs are more important then my own.

As I was walking back I was drawn back in time to a night similar to this. To that night back in Port Angeles when I had to rescue Bella. I had hoped that I would never have to rescue her from a situation like that again. Yet, here I was years later rescuing our daughter from men who had gone so much further then the men in Port Angeles so long ago.

I looked at my girl and I wondered... Did they do anything to her before I had gotten to her? I wouldn't be able to live with myself if they had.

"Did they do anything to you?" I asked once we had gotten home and I had put her in her bed. "No they just hit me and touched me" she said. I managed to bite back another growl threatening to erupt. "I'm sorry I should have been there sooner" I said. "Dad don't blame yourself" she said. I just gave her a kiss and left.

Then Bella went into her room.

Renesmee's POV

It was hard to doubt the sincerity in Bella's voice. I truly believed that she did care about me. Then what happened to me?

"What happened to me? Who would do something so cruel?" I asked. I could feel the tears forming in my eyes. "It was my father. He was disgusted with me just because I had sex. So out of revenge he took advantage and dumped you when I passed out not long after giving birth" she said. She sounded like she would be in tears too. I went in to hug her. She was caught off guard but then she hugged me back.

I still had one more question. "Who's my father? My biological father?" I asked. She looked nervous as she bit her lip. I don't what I was expecting but it surely wasn't this "You're biological father is the very same man that raised you. Only neither of you knew it" she said.
