Bella's POV:
I kept driving until I reached Seattle and headed straight to the Seattle Aquarium. Edward had told me to meet him there and from there he would take me away. I was to call Carlisle and he was to save Molly from the apartment where they had been staying.
After that I would be allowed one phone call to ensure that Molly had been safely returned to Paul's arms.
Of course Edward didn't know about my new abilities and he seemed to doubt a mother's wrath. Let me tell you that saying "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." Well it should be "Hell hath no fury like a mother whose child is in danger."
I parked and strode purposefully to the entrance of the aquarium.
"Ah it is so nice to see you again my love." I heard Edward's voice coming from under an awning.
He looked just like I remembered- bronze hair, spiked wildly, cocky grin painted on. His eyes looked wild though. Crimson eyes held a fury that I doubted could be matched by my own. I was a mother on a mission.
"Edward." I said not allowing emotion to leak into my voice "I can't say I am thrilled to see you."
"Aw sweetheart don't talk like that." He reached out and his cold hand ran up and down my arm. I tried not to shy away from him as he continued "You will be happier with me now than you ever have been before."
"Let's just get this over with." I sighed "I want my daughter safe and that is the only reason I am here now Edward."
"Oh Bella, you will be spending eternity with me." His icy breath sent shivers up and down "Your children will soon be only faint, hazy memories in your mind- if you even remember them at all."
"So when I wanted to be turned you refused to do it and now that I don't want to be a vampire you plan to make me one?" I was getting annoyed. I just wanted to know where he was keeping Molly.
"You will spend eternity at my side my beautiful Bella." He insisted.
"I won't be doing anything unless you keep your end of the bargain and let me call Carlisle and tell him where to find my daughter and allow me to call again to ensure that she is safe in the arms of her family." I pulled away from him and crossed my arms across my chest.
"Dial the number love," He said handing me a cell phone.
I quickly dialed my second father's phone number and was relieved that it was him who answered.
"Hello?"
"Carlisle, thank God." I said quickly "Don't let anyone know it's me. I am with Edward. I am going to give you the address where Molly is being held and you need to go and get her."
"Bella, everyone is looking for you. Paul is worried." I could hear the worry in Carlisle's voice.
"I am safe Carlisle- he won't hurt me." I said it with as much conviction as I could muster.
"Tell him she is in apartment 432 of Victoria Manor on Danby Ave." Edward whispered into my ear and I relayed the information to Carlisle.
"Bella, I will go and get her but please be safe." Carlisle said softly "I love you Bella as if you were my own daughter."
"I love you too Carlisle. Tell everyone that." I said trying not to cry as I hung up the phone and slipped it back into Edward's outstretched hand.
"How sweet Bella." He sneered.
"Whatever Edward can we just go somewhere quiet until I know my daughter is safe?" I said and he yanked on my arm angrily dragging me with him to a dark car.
"Well you are still human so I better get you fed before we have to leave- it will be the last chance for awhile. We won't be stopping much once we start driving."
We drove to a small diner and Edward took it upon himself to order me Chicken Alfredo and an Iced Tea.
"Bella, love you need to eat." Edward said sternly after we had been sitting for almost an hour with me just pushing the food around my plate. I was trying to prolong the amount of time we spent in the city so I could ensure Molly's safety and to try and figure out a way to get back to my family before Edward took it upon himself to change me. "For me?"
I could have frozen him and just ran but I didn't know if there was any way that he could still hurt Molly so I was refraining from showing him that I wasn't weak anymore.
"Edward I will not do a single thing for you." I swore glaring at him "I will never do anything for you."
His features hardened again "Come on we're leaving now."
"Edward you have to let me make sure Molly is safe." I reminded him when he grabbed my wrist.
He growled at me and I stood my ground. "Fine you can call Carlisle when we get to the warehouse. I need to pick up a few things from there anyways." He finally relented.
Yet again we climbed into his car and this time he kept a grip on my wrist for the entire 40 minute ride.
He tossed me the phone and he climbed out of the car leaving me behind. I dialed Carlisle's cell quickly as I didn't know how long Edward would leave me alone.
"Carlisle" I sighed in relief the instant I heard him answer the phone "Do you have her? Is she safe?" I rambled quickly tears of happiness filling my eyes.
"Bella she wasn't there. Another vampire was there. She said that she turned her over to the Volturi when Jane came to check up on Edward." Carlisle said quickly.
I saw red and it felt like my blood was boiling. I quickly looked at where we were and said "Carlisle we're at a warehouse near the Peterson dock. Tell the pack to come find me."
I had hardly finished my sentence when my door was ripped off its hinges and stole the phone from my hand crushing it into dust. "Now love, that wasn't part of the deal, call them off or I will destroy them and when I am done with them I will go after your precious children." Edward snarled at me. He was angry but I was angrier.
"I don't think I will- our deal is null and void seeing as the Volturi have my daughter." I sneered pushing past him. I threw my hair into a ponytail and rolled up my sleeves.
"Oh Bella darling," He said patronizingly "You are a weak little human you are no match for me and you will be gone before they even arrive." He took a step towards me and I thrust out one hand blowing up a barrel that was behind him. It must have been filled with something flammable because it burst into flames.
His eyes widened in shock "What was that?"
"That would have been me." I said innocently shrugging my shoulders. "It's only one of the things I can do."
"You won't hurt me." He said over confident.
"Wanna bet." I growled and thrust both hands out. He froze in place and I walked around him for a moment debating how best to hurt him.
I heard a howl in the distance and I knew the pack was coming to help. I would allow Paul and Seth to destroy him, but not before I made him feel pain.
I unfroze his head with one wave of my hand and he roared angrily at me "What did you do to me!"
"You're frozen in place Eddie boy." I smiled evilly. "I can do whatever I want to you and you can do nothing about it."
I flicked my wrist towards him and he screamed in agony as his hand exploded into shards. "You can't do this Bella, you love me."
"I haven't loved you in years Edward" I said quiet fury leaking in. "You will pay for trying to destroy my family."
As I flicked my wrist again to destroy his other hand I heard a heavenly voice ring across the warehouse "Bella!" Paul shouted.
