FINALLY!

I am so sorry this chapter is so very late. There have been a lot of R/L things going on and I needed to deal with them. I would have gotten this chapter up sooner if it was even possible, but the things going on did not allow me to even concentrate on the story. I hope it was worth the long wait for this chapter.

I also have to apologize for the last chapter, being sick and doped up on Nyquil, Ibuprophen 800's and Amoxicillin totally screwed with me. I wrote Redskins instead of Seahawks because I had said Washington earlier in the chapter. I am an NFL fan myself, Dallas of course, and by the time I realized what I had done it was too late I had already published, so I am correcting it now. Lol.

I also have to send a huge ass Thank you to my beta Mandee. She not only is the most awesomest beta ever but a good friend. Mandee just remember next time I'm Dairy Queen not Baskin Robins I don't have 31 flavors and not everyone likes Dairy Queen ;-) Thanks for the thought though it meant a lot to have you do what you did!

Now shall we see what happens…?

Chapter 14: Intrepid

Somewhere in Forks, the day before the Press conference…

Embry paced naked across his desolate space, again, mindlessly digging the knife into his leg as he walked. He didn't feel the blood running down his leg, he couldn't hear it drip onto the floor, and pain didn't even register to him. Embry would probably be in an institution if it weren't for the fact he was loved by him. He protected Embry, showed Embry what love was suppose to be, and was Embry's first. He promised to always be there for Embry. He had never let Embry down and the gifts he would bring were always so pretty. It was too bad Embry would get carried away trying to shut up their screaming, because then he would get mad and have to take care of the pretty gift so no one would find them. Embry loved him and loved when he would show Embry how much he loved him back.

"It's almost time…he said it was almost time." Embry said as he looked at the clock that now read two in the morning. He paced back the other way digging the knife deeper into his leg with a twist of his wrist.

"He said he would call and he will." Embry smiled hopefully.

"No he's going to keep her all to himself because you ruined the last pretty gift he brought you." Embry chastised himself.

"No…he brought her to me once and he'll give her to me again!" Embry yelled and hit himself in the chest to quiet the bad voice down.

Embry stopped pacing and sat down in front of the phone. He picked up a picture of Bella the other love of his life, the one he let slip away, the one he had gotten punished badly for and the one he would have again.

"Soon bitch, soon you will be mine again and I will break you," he spat at the picture with an evil grin.

Embry couldn't help the thoughts of her being tied down and fucked into submission by them both; he would not be as kind to her as the other pretty gifts. He was kind before and it did him no good. Bella left him and he never got to truly play with her like he wanted. This time he wouldn't screw up though because, of course, he said he would share her with Embry and help him. He always kept his word. He had never hurt Embry like the others, he had never left Embry like the others and he showed Embry just how much he loved him every time he would visit Embry.

The phone rang just as Embry was about to violate himself for the tenth time today with his thoughts.

"Hello?" Embry spat into the receiver pissed someone would dare interrupt him before he could relieve himself.

"Have you been a good boy?" The voice on the line said soothingly.

"Yes I have." Embry smiled pleased with himself.

"Good…because it's time." The voice said.

"How-?" Embry started but was cut off by an angry tone.

"Embry do you not think I have all this figured out?" The voice spat.

"I'm sorry; please don't be mad at me." Embry whined.

"Shhhh. Its okay I'm not mad at you. You know it's that bitch and her father I'm mad at for all they have done to us." The voice soothed Embry.

"Yes I know…and we're going to make all of them pay aren't we?" Embry smiled.

"Yes…you and me…we're going to make them ALL pay." The voice growled.

"Can I have her first this time?" Embry whined like a child.

"We'll see how you behave, but first we have to get her don't we?" The voice questioned.

"Yes…we have to get her." Embry agreed as he rocked back and forth on the chair.

"Remember the old shed I took you to last spring?" The voice asked.

"Yes." Embry hissed remembering the fun in the shed.

"Good…are you ready for your instructions? Can you be a good boy and do as you're told?" The voice demanded.

"Yes…I can be your good boy." Embry said and took out a paper and a pen to write the instructions down. Embry knew he would need to keep every detail he told him so he wouldn't screw up. Embry didn't want to screw up because he wanted that bitch badly. Besides if he did well then he would reward Embry and Embry loved the rewards.

"What do you want me to do?" Embry asked and started writing as the voice told him exactly how to get what they both wanted.

As soon as Embry hung up the phone, he got dressed, grabbed the duffle bag he had prepared and loaded into the car. If he was going to make his flight in Portland in time he would have to hurry. Then it would only be a few hours to Dallas and then nothing would get in his way.

Embry grabbed his duffel bag off the floor, which had his clothes in it. He was not allowed to take his knife because airport security would take it from him, but he would take it to the car just like he was told. Embry walked out of his rancid shack and didn't look back as he started his journey through the woods.

Embry made it to the shed in less than an hour, which he was thankful for. The sooner he got out of this god forsaken place the sooner he would have his prize. Embry shoved his duffel into the back seat and climbed into the front. He opened the glove compartment just like he was instructed and pulled out the extremely large manila envelope.

Embry opened it and dumped the contents onto the seat next to him. Just like he was told, there was a credit card, cash, a new ID, a new wallet, the keys to the car, and another envelope for his knife. He placed his knife in the envelope, sealed it shut and sat it on the seat. He gathered up all the other items placed them in a wallet and stuck it in his back pocket. Embry started the car and tore off down the dirt road. He was a half hour ahead of schedule. He dropped the envelope with his knife into the mail and then punched the gas as he hit the freeway.

Embry pulled into the Portland airport parking area with a little over an hour to spare before his flight. He parked the car and reached under the seat. He pulled out the plastic bag that had been left there for him. Embry quickly dumped out the contents and grabbed the small nylon looking item. He pulled and stretched it in awe at how it looked before he put it over his hair. Embry then grabbed the blond wig and put it over the nylon on his head.

He grabbed the white tube and started applying the poly glue to the latex nose that was also in the bag. He placed it on his face hoping like hell it would come off later without a lot of pain. Then he grabbed the makeup as he had been instructed to do. Embry couldn't believe how light he was becoming as he applied the base to his face. He almost looked as white as some of the fuckers around Forks. Embry placed the makeup back in the bag and put the extra glue in his pocket. He then grabbed the wipes off the floor and wiped down the entire car as he had explained to Embry.

Embry grabbed the plastic bag and his duffel from the car and then made sure to use the last wipe to wipe down the doors. He put the wipes into the plastic bag and made his way to the airport. Embry dumped the plastic bag into a trash can just before he went to the check-in counter.

"Can I help you?" A really annoying bitch, with eyes Embry wanted to cut out, asked with too much of a smile from behind the counter.

"Yes ma'am. I should have a ticket waiting for me for the five 0'clock to Dallas." Embry smiled and said as politely as possible.

"I can look that up for you sir do you have some ID?" The smiling bitch asked.

Embry reached in his back pocket and pulled out the wallet. He grabbed the ID and handed it to the dumb bitch, hoping she would hurry before he lost his self control. It wouldn't be good to bite the bitch's fingers off. He would not be happy and then they would not get Bella.

"Ah yes…we have I have your information right here Mr. Johnson…let me just print your boarding pass out for you sir." The bitch smiled as she handed Embry back his fake ID.

"Thank you." Embry smiled trying to swallow the bile he had. Women like her made him sick. They were all the same. FAKE and DISGUSTING whores who slept with anything and everything and hurt men like Embry, he would rid the world of them all if he would allow it.

"Here you go sir," the bitch said as she handed Embry his ticket, "just walk right down there and turn right. Security will be on your left and have a good flight sir." The disgusting woman said pointing Embry in the right direction.

"I will and thank you." Embry purred thinking about what he was going to get when he got to Dallas.

The plane landed on schedule and the Dallas airport was ridiculously busy. Just as he had told Embry, there was a car at the rental place. Embry climbed into his very normal rental car and headed off to the hotel. Just a few more hours and he'd have his hands wrapped around Bella's neck.

BPOV

The phone rang again for the third time today and I quickly went to answer. I was hoping that it was Edward.

"Hello." I answered as sexy as possible, but no one said anything. There was just static.

"Hello?" I said again but nothing.

"Edward if that's you I can't hear you. You'll have to call back" There was no answer just more static so I hung the phone backup and started walking away. Before I could get two steps the damn thing rang again.

"Hello?" I said into the receiver, but it was just the static from before. It must really be a shitty connection.

"Edward-"

"Isabella." A voice cut me off, and I dropped the phone. It couldn't be him he doesn't know where I am and even if he did he wouldn't know where I was staying. I reached down shakily to pick up the phone. I held it to my ear and listened for the longest time, but there was nothing.

I hung up the phone and turned to walk away and again it rang. I jumped and turned toward the phone. I reached out to grab it but my hand was shaking so badly I didn't know if I could pick it up. I lifted the receiver off and slowly put it to my ear. There was nothing but static again.

"Hello," I said shakily.

"Bella," I heard through the static and paid close attention, but the voice was not his.

"Edward is that you?" I asked hoping the connection was just bad and he could hear me, because that's who had to be calling me, right?

"Not Edward," said the voice through the static.

"Jake?" I questioned, but there was no answer this time as the static got louder.

"Edward? Jake? Look my phone must have a bad connection-" I said as I was suddenly cut off.

"Isabella," a voice cracked on the other end through the static and I dropped the phone again knowing very well that I was not wrong it was his voice.

There was a knock at the door, and I couldn't help the scream that came out.

"Liz!" Jake yelled, "Liz are you okay?"

I sighed in relief, "Yeah Jake I'm fine hold on." I said bending down and picking up the phone. I listened carefully but the line had gone dead. I knew I had gone completely insane. The stress of Edward being gone must be getting to me and I was having some sort of psychotic break thinking I heard Embry's voice on the line. I sat the phone down and went to open the door for Jake.

"Hey Jake," I smiled as I opened the door hoping my heart would stop beating so loudly.

"Sup…your dad called he's been trying to call you." He said leaning against the door jam.

My dad?

That must be who was on the phone I was definitely going crazy and the three hours left before Edward would be back, wouldn't come soon enough.

"Yeah, there must be something wrong with my phone." I said with a sigh of relief.

"Want me to look at it for you?" Jake said with a smile.

"No I'll just go buy a new one later," I giggled.

"Are you just waiting for the press conference to start?" He asked as he came in and took a seat on my bed.

"Yeah, what did my dad want?" I questioned.

"Just to know if you were alright and to let you know they would be here as soon as the press conference was over…and he said something about not freaking out he'd explain when he saw you," Jake said with a shrug.

"Goody I can't wait. I think I'm going crazy Jake. I swear I am hearing shit that isn't there," I sighed and Jake stared at me confused. "I haven't seen Edward in three days and it's ridiculous but I can't function without him here," I giggled as I shut the door.

"You were like that once before, you know." Jake whispered.

"Jake please," I groaned not wanting to get into this for the tenth time since he moved in next door. Every time he would come over we had to go through the conversation about how I was happy with him too once.

"I know Bells, but it's true I made you just as happy," he said laying down and closing his eyes.

"Yeah Jake you did." I sighed and sat down next to him.

"But?" He questioned looking at me through his lashes.

"But…like I've told you every other time Jake we were never good for each other as a couple," I said laying down next to him and he turned onto his side.

"It could be different now though couldn't it?" He questioned and leaned up onto his elbow.

"I don't know Jake…I truly don't, and we will never find out because I love Edward and I'm not doing this again Jake." I said angrily and jumped up off the bed. "Every time we talk about this I can see the pain in your eyes and I'm not going to hurt you anymore," I sighed.

"Bells don't be like that. You know I love you and I'll take you any way I can and if that means being your friend I'll take it," Jake said getting up off the bed and walking over so he was standing in front of me.

I was staring at the ground because I really and truly couldn't stand how badly I knew it hurt Jake to say those things. He lifted my chin so I was staring at him.

"Bells I will never stop loving you, but all I want is for you to be happy," he said with a smile and started leaning toward me.

"Jake," I whispered and pulled away.

"Sorry," he said as he walked back over to the bed and sat down. "It was worth a shot," he chuckled.

"Really?" I said sarcastically as I rolled my eyes. I walked over to the bed. "You're an ass," I giggled and hit him in the shoulder before I sat down.

"But you love me anyway," he chuckled as he waggled his eyebrows at me.

"Fuck you," I giggled and turned the T.V. on with the remote. It was time for the press conference and I wanted to see Edward.

The NFL Post Game Show commentators were dissecting the game as they always did after the game, and I wasn't paying much attention until Boomer said Edward's name.

"What everyone is wondering is who the mystery woman is with Dallas' quarterback. The photos look to be very intimate, so is the most eligible bachelor finally off the market?" Chris Brown said and I sat straight up off the bed.

"Photos what photo's?" I looked at Jake wide eyed.

"I don't know," he shrugged as he sat up just as curious as I was.

"Yes, it does look like Dallas' most prized player is off the market by the looks of that photo." Emmett said as they flashed a photo across the screen.

"OH FUCK!"

"FUCK ME SIDEWAYS!"

Jake and I both said in unison. A photo of me and Edward leaving from the game the night he was hurt was on the screen. My face was clear as day.

"Jake," I said hysterical.

"Bells don't worry…let's just see what happens before we panic okay?" He said sitting up on the bed farther paying more attention.

"But that's gonna be in every paper Jake, even Forks!" I said starting to go into a panic attack.

"Bells calm down!"

"Calm down Jake? How can I calm down?" I yelled.

"Well I don't know but I'm sure your dad knows about this and if you were in any danger you wouldn't be here now," he said calmly making some sense. My dad would have already gotten me out of Dallas if I were in danger.

"Your right," I said sitting back down. "I won't freak out completely…yet." I giggled kind of hysterically just as Boomer said they were going to join the press conference which was already in progress.

Edward looked fucking hot as always, in his dark three piece suit, as he sat there at the table next to Billy.

"Look at my dad he looks like a dork!" Jake chuckled and pointed toward the T.V.

"Shut up Jake," I said as I smacked him in the arm. He huffed and folded his arms sulking like a child. I just rolled my eyes and went back to watching the hottest man alive.

"Edward, can you tell us about the woman in this picture?" Some reporter from Fox sports asked holding up the morning paper. Jake and I both gasped as we saw that same photo from the Post Game Show. It was definitely worry time because I was sure Embry would have seen it by now.

"The woman in the picture is my girlfriend, Elizabeth Dwyer," Edward stated with a smile.

"What!" Jake and I both yelled in unison as Boomer came back on the screen.

"It looks like the ladies will definitely be crying today Emmett," Boomer said chucking.

"I do believe Edward Cullen is off the market Boomer and Elizabeth Dwyer will be the envy of all the women in America…now let's go to Green Bay where the Packers game will be starting in less than five minutes…Troy how's the weather there," Emmett said and I shut off the T.V.

"Elizabeth Dwyer," I said quietly and stared off into space. "He called me Elizabeth Dwyer," I said again looking at Jake shocked.

"I um…I," is all he said before we both jumped from the banging on the door.

"Open up I know you're in there!" Alice yelled from the other side of the door.

"Shit!" I huffed and got off the bed. "This is not going to be fun," I mumbled as I walked to the door and opened it.

"WHAT THE HELL!" Alice yelled and threw the Dallas paper onto the bed.

"Hello Alice," I said shutting the door after she pushed past me.

"Don't hello me Bella, or should I say Elizabeth?" Alice said angrily as she stood in front of me with her hands on her hips.

Jake chuckled and Alice's head snapped toward him.

"What's so funny mongrel?" She spat.

"You are," Jake guffawed and Alice just ignored him as she turned back toward me.

"You have two point one seconds to tell me what the hell is going on or I swear to god-"

"Don't swear to God Alice it's not very lady like," Edwards wonderful voice said from the door and I quickly turned around.

"How…you…the T.V.?" I said pointing at the television and looking back and forth from him to it.

"Your dad," Is all he said as he walked in and shut the door behind him. "Jake," he said nodding at him

"Edward," Jake growled back. I couldn't move I was so shocked at what was happening.

"How…what…my name?" I said stupidly as I stared at him.

"Your dad," he said again with a smile and there was a small tap at the door.

"Liz can I come in?" my dads voice said from the hall.

I opened the door quickly and the look on his face was one of shock and angst.

"Dad?" I questioned quietly afraid of the answer.

"Everything's fine Bells," my dad said with a smile and my mouth fell open.

"Fine…but the article?" I said pointing toward the magazine Alice threw on the bed.

"I know it's there baby girl, but Embry has not made a move. I have all the airports being watched closely and there has been no sign of him." My dad said with a smile.

I sighed in relief. I guess I wasn't in any danger after all.

Oooooh!

Was it worth the wait?

Embry's in Dallas, Bella's getting strange phone calls, who the hell is the voice talking to Embry? Join us again next week for hot ass quarterbacks who will be having sex because he has been gone for three whole days! hahahaha
