Here's chapter 31, enjoy! review please :)
Edward's POV

It had been almost 24 hours now since Bella had been taken by Charlie and I was beginning to lose my mind. The thought of him hurting her literally felt like someone was taking my heart and stamping on it over and over. The whole family was worried and desperate to get her back. God I don't know what id do if he has hurt her.

I had failed her! I promised her over and over that I wouldn't let anybody hurt her and what do I do let her savage of a father take her. One thing I was absolutely sure about was that I would find her and bring her home.

I was currently searching all the way through forks and surrounding areas trying to find Bella's or Charlie's scent to follow but so far I had no luck. As the hours went by I got more and more agitated. He couldn't of taken her that far so why couldn't I find them!

I had been searching around for hours and hours and I was beginning to run out of ideas of places to look. All I wanted to do was find her and kill that animal for ever hurting her. I was going to make sure that he felt just as much pain as Bella had felt over the years. He was going to pay one way or another for ever even thinking about hurting her.

She is such a kind loving person who despite everything she has been through she still has the ability to be kind to others. What she said about still loving her father the other night even after everything he did to her does in a way make sense because at the end of the day he is still her father and was the only family she had.

I was currently searching through the woods near Seattle when I suddenly caught her scent it was very faint but it was definitely there. It was Bella's scent. A burst of hope shot through my body and heart. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and sent a text to all my family.

I've found Bella's scent. On the outskirts of Seattle, im following it now.- Edward.

I quickly sent it and then speed off following the scent. The further I got the more strong it got. I was becoming hopeful and scared at the same time. I didn't know what I was going to find and I was hoping with every fiber in my body that Bella was okay.

I froze in place when the scent of BLOOD filled the air. If I wasn't scared before I definitely was now. I knew whatever I was going to find wasn't going to be good. The smell got stronger and stronger and that's when I saw her.

My heart literally broke at the sight. I wanted to scream out in pain. Her eyes were swollen and her face was covered in horrendous amounts of blood. Several cuts covered her forehead. She was clearly limping and it looked like every single step she took caused her immense pain. It was a lot worse than I expected.

My anger went over boiling point and if Bella hadn't needed me right now I would go and find that horrid excuse of a man and rip him apart. How could he do this to her again. I thought last time was bad enough but this was just down right disgusting. I made my way closer to her till I was only a few feet and she didn't even seem to notice my presence. I could tell she was extremely unsteady on her feet and she looked about ready to pass out. She seemed to become tired and she fell to he knees.

'Bella' I said gently trying not to make her jump but before I even had her name fully out she layed down. She heard me through because in the tiniest voice she said my name. If it weren't for my super hearing I don't think I would of been able to hear it. Her eyes closed and she passed out.

I rushed to her side to inspect the damage further. From what I could see their wasn't a single part of her body that didn't have a bruise on it and it was clear from the rope burns around her wrists that she had been tied up. I was finding it extremely difficult to keep myself in control. I had felt anger before but knowing what he had done to her made me see red.

I took my phone out and phoned Carlisle. You could tell my his voice that he was worried almost immediately. I told him where we were and he said he would be there as soon as possible. I was so glad he was a doctor because without him I don't know what id do.

Carlisle's POV

Receiving that phone call from Edward telling me that Bella had been taken from school by Charlie made my heart sink. I should of been able to protect her. God we had all promised to look after her and not let anybody hurt her ever again and now look. We didn't have a clue where she was and I don't even want to imagine what that vile man is putting her through.

I had always been quite a calm collected person and rarely lost my temper but ever since I found out what he had been doing to Bella who I now considered my daughter I had never wanted to kill another man more than I did right now. Hadn't he put her through enough?

The whole family had become so much more happy with Bella in the family and the past week I could see how much happier Bella had become in herself. The thing the most was how close her and Edward had become. I could see that she trusted him more than anyone else and I was beyond happy that my son had finally found someone to make him happy as happy as I knew Bella would make him.

We had all been searching around for hours when we got the text off Edward telling us he had found Bella's scent and was about to follow it. I was worried about how he would react if Bella was hurt badly. God I was even worried how I would react if she was hurt. Me and Esme started to head to where Edward had said he had smelt her scent and on the way I felt my phone start to vibrate. I took it out and saw that it was Edward.

'Hello?' I answered the phone.

'Hello, Carlisle I've found her.' Edward said and I could tell by his voice that she had been hurt badly and I could hear his anger in his voice.

'Edward is she okay? We're on our way now. Where exactly are you?' I asked him trying to remain calm knowing it wouldn't help if I started to panic right now.

'About an mile from Seattle in the woods where the fishing ponds are, please hurry. She's passed out. I saw her walking through the woods and she's hurt badly Carlisle' Edward says. You can tell he is trying his hardest to hold onto his self control. He clearly wants to kill Charlie and right now so do I.

'Don't worry son, we are literally two minutes away. I'll take care of her, I promise' I told him before hanging up. I didn't know what I was about to face but I was dreading it, she was technically my daughter and I loved her. Seeing her hurt is one of the most horrible things I will ever have to deal with. I speed up going as fast as I could so I could get to my new daughter. I would never forgive myself for letting this happen. We should of protected her more.

When we arrived I froze on the spot for a split second. I knew it was going to be bad but this is horrible. How could have done this to her? I knew he was evil but this was just taking things far too far. I don't think there's even one spot of her skin that isn't covered in horrible looking painful bruises. Her face is the worse from what I can see. Her eyes are swollen and she has blood dripping down her face. I rush to her side and I can see she is still unconscious but her vitals sound good which is something to be grateful about despite everything else. When was this poor girls pain going to end.

'Edward, do you think you could carry her home?' I asked him. we needed to get her home so I could take a proper look at her and get her cleaned up.

'Is it safe to move her?' He asked worry evident in his voice. I can't even begin to imagine how hard this must be for him seeing his mate like this, I know if it was Esme I wouldn't be holding myself together as well as he is.

'Yeah, just be gentle son. We just need to get her home where she belongs and get her fixed up but she is going to be fine, her vitals are stable' I told him. He nodded and carefully picked her up into his arms and cradled her gently to his chest. You could see his love for her seeping from his body and it brought a slight smile to my face. I couldn't be happier that he had finally found someone to love as much as we all loved our mates and I know his love for Bella will help her get through this. I just hope she will forgive us for letting her down. One thing for sure I was going to make sure Charlie paid for this.

'Edward, do you know where Charlie is?' I asked him. I wasn't going to let him get away with hurting Bella the way he has. I wanted to ensure that she didn't have to constantly live in fear and could finally move on with her life. I didn't know how she was before we found out what was going on with her father but these past weeks I could see how happy and relaxed she had become. I knew she still had alot of recovering to do, I was confident with the help of all of us she would get through it.

'Yes, jasper and Emmett have found where he was keeping Bella. She must of escaped him by locking him in the basement and they are keeping him there until we decide what to do with him' He told me and I nodded and then we started to run side by side slowly to not cause Bella any unnecessary pain even though she was out cold, the movement definitely wouldn't make her feel any better.

It took us about 10 minutes to get back home and as soon as we got in the house we took Bella up to my study where I had set up a hospital bay for her up incase of any emergencies. Edward gently placed her on the bed before stepping back so I could look at her injuries and clean them up as best as I can. First things first, I need to set up an IV drip so I can give her some fluids and painkillers. rolling up her sleeve of her jacket, I blanche at the bruises leading up her arm. You could see the finger marks from where he has clearly gripped her extremely hard.

After the IV is set up and I've given her some painkillers and set up a bag of fluids, I with the help of Edward remove her hoodie and the sight is shocking her arms is literally black and blue. Her injuries are even worse than what they were before she came here. He really had beaten her badly and she was going to suffer from alot of pain for a long time after this. She had a few cuts on her chest which I quickly cleaned and bandaged thankfully they didn't need any stitches. I then moved on to her face and cleaned the blood off which then revealed a large gash on her scalp and forehead which will both unfortunately need stitches. I quickly stitched them up and covered them up. I don't even want to think how they were caused. She still hadn't woken up and I was both glad and apphensive about it. I was glad she was out of pain but I also really wanted to see her awake.

I lift her top her up from the front to see really bad bruising around her ribs and feeling them I can tell at least four of her ribs are broken. They weren't the only broken bones she had suffered by the looks of it, her wrist was also broken. It didn't look like a bad break but I would have to strap it up for a few weeks to give it time to heal. Edward also explained to me that she was limping when he saw her and when I checked her ankle I fortunately saw that it wasn't broken but it was definitely sprained and would also be sore for quite a while. Her injuries were just adding up more and more and I could tell the more I found the more angrier Edward was getting. I don't blame him because I was beyond livid by myself. I was thankfully almost done, I just needed to check her back.

'Edward will you please help me roll her onto her stomach so I can check her back?' I asked him. He nodded and came over and gently helped me to roll her onto her stomach. What I saw made me freeze and Edward to growl loudly. If I was human I would of cried. Edward stormed out of the room before I could stop him. Esme comes into the room and gasps at what she's sees. To be honest I was still in complete and utter shock. Her back was covered in huge gashes clearly from a belt, they were bleeding alot still and were going to require alot of stitching. The scars were going to be horrible. I was struggling to keep my anger under control, I had seen alot in my line of work but this is beyond the worst thing imaginable. It really takes an evil person to do such a horrible thing. I wouldn't normally condone violence but Charlie was going to pay for this.

It took a while but I finally after almost fifty stitches managed to get it stitched and bandaged. God I was going to have to make sure I had lots of pain medication because she would be a hell of alot of pain over the next couple of weeks. She wouldn't be able to lay on her back until her the cuts were healed and cream would need to applied daily to keep any infections from taking hold of her body. When I was done, Esme and Alice changed her into some clean pyjamas so that she would be as comfortable as possible. I set up a new bag off fluids and give her extra painkillers to make her as pain-free as possible but I feared with the amount of injuries she had the pain would be severe. After she was changed,we placed her gently in her bed on her side and sat around her. All we could do now is wait for her to wake up and just hope she wouldn't hate us for not protecting her from her father.
