****AND no I didn't put the wrong number in, Chapter 4 was the last Edward's pov****
******Edward's POV******
"I have taken something of yours, and if you want it back you have to play by my rules. I can guarantee that your precious Bella is still alive, and for now she is safe." Carlisle stopped and looked at me as I began to growl deeply, wanting to KILL whoever had her.
"Edward, please...we must stay calm for now." Carlisle said as he was about to keep reading.
"CALM!!!!!!!!" I screamed.
Jasper leaned forward sending me all the calming feelings he could offer, I turned and glared at him. "Not going to work Jazz." I said as I shook and turned back to look at Carlisle.
"If you want her back, you must play my game." Carlisle continued, ignoring my growls. "I will send another message...OH and I wouldn't bother having Alice look for her. She won't see anything, Bella is blindfolded and kept away from...us. She will find NOTHING if she keeps looking." Carlisle said as he looked at Alice, who's mouth had dropped open.
"I will send the next clue tomorrow. Don't worry, your precious Bella will be alive as long as you play along." Carlisle said as he dropped the letter as if it burnt him.
I stood up, not caring if the letter was done or not. I had to get away, had to go find her, had to save here...had to be with her no matter what.
I was almost to the door when I heard Carlisle say "Emmett." I turned, wondering what he was talking about when I felt Emmett's arms wrap around me. I tried to fight but at the same second, I felt something bite into my arm and everything went foggy.
Chapter 6
I was just about to ask what was going on when I felt myself sleep...for the first time in over one hundred years. You would think that this sleep would help me feel better, but even in unconciousness I still thought about Bella and who had her.
I fought the sleep, I knew that this was something that Carlisle gave me so that I would relax and not do something rash...but I couldn't let time get away...I had to find Bella.
I opened my eyes, chasing the last of sleep away. I looked around to find that I was laying on the couch, Alice was sitting next to the couch..her face stressed as she kept looking for Bella.
"Any luck?" I asked as I rolled over.
"No." She said as she turned to look at me, her eyes so strained from searching that I wondered if she was getting a headache from all the stress she was putting on herself.
"I think they were right." She said sadly. "I can't find her...no matter how hard I try."
"It's ok Alice." I said as I reached down and put a hand on her shoulder.
"No...it is NOT ok." She said as she turned to glare at me. "This is NOT ok. Who has her! Where is she!! These are things I should be able to see Edward." She cried as her body started shaking with silent sob.
"Alice," Jasper said as he walked into the living room, picking her up his arms, holding her tightly against his chest. "Love, this is not your fault."
"I know Jazz, but....everyone counts on me to see this...can I can't find her." She cried.
I couldn't handle this, Alice was blaming herself for not being able to find Bella...it was me that should be blamed. I was the one who promised to keep her safe from anything...and now she was......gone.
I was about to spiral into another round of depression when someone knocked on the door. Alice's eyes suddenly went wide as she stared at the door. "Edward." She said softly.
I was instantly on my feet, moving quickly to the door. I noticed that Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie and Emmett all came into the room as I reached for the handle, pulling the door open.
I was suprised to see a delivery man holding two roses in his hands. He looked up at me, then down at the clipboard he held. "Are you one of the Cullen's?" He said as he checked the name again.
"Yes." I said as I read his thoughts...aparently I scared him.
"These are for you then." He said as he held out the small vase that held one white and one red rose.
"Thank you." I said as I was about to close the door, but Carlisle stopped me. He handed the delivery guy a twenty dollar bill and thanked him before closing the door.
"Roses?" Emmett said as he walked over to look at them. "Strange colors though."
He was right, they were not your typical roses..the white one was pure as snow, so perfect that it almost looked fake. The red one, the red rose was the color of blood, deep red with brighter red swirled throughout.
Stuck in the middle of the roses was a small white envleope with nothing written on it. I walked over to the kitchen counter, setting the roses gently on the counter. I noticed that everyone had followed me in.
"The second clue." Alice whispered.
I nodded as I stared at the card. I didn't want to be the one to open it, it was like if I touched it that it would become more real..I turned to look at Carlisle.
"Edward, would you rather if I opened it?" He asked as I nodded.
He reached a slender hand out and pulled the card from the middle, the roses swayig softly as they were moved.
"It doesn't have anyone's name on it, just blank." He said out loud, but I think he meant to think it to himself. He opened it gently, pulling out a tiny, white card.
"You have done so well so far...you did not come looking for me. Because of that your precious Isabella is still safe. The roses are your next clue, I will give you nothing more...but I would suggest you hurry...you must find your next clue." Carlisle read, when he was finished he set the card down as if it had hurt him.
"Roses are the clue?" Emmett asked, his mind racing but thouroughly confused.
"Roses?" Esme said as she came up and looked at the flowers.
"This is not a clue." Rosalie said as she leaned against the wall. "Roses are everywhere."
"Well, let's think about this." Carlisle said as he took the vase and walked into the sitting room, setting it down on the coffee table.
I followed him, my brain racing as I thought of places where roses would be grown...coming up with nothing. Alice walked beside me, her hand gripping my arm as she looked again for Bella or a clue.
I sat next to Carlisle, leaning forward to look at the roses or smell them hoping they would give me the answer.
The red rose smelt sweet, like honey almost. The smell sticking in the back of my throat, familiar but not something I could remember. I picked up the white rose to inhale deeply when I saw something laying in the center of the rose.
I turned the rose gently, letting the item roll into my hand. My hand closed around it as I returned the rose to the vase, noticing that everyone was watching me closely.
I opened my hand slowly to reveal a tiny, white peral..so pure that it must have been harvested recently. I sat staring at the pearl, thrying to figure out what this meant.
"A pearl?" Jasper asked.
"Yeah, it was in the middle of the white one." I said as I rolled the small pearl in my hand.
"Pearls..." Esme said as she looked into space.
"Esme?" Carlisle asked as he moved beside her.
"Pearls..." She said again, then her face light up. "I might know this one." She said as she ran up the stairs to her room, returning in mere seconds.
"Esme?" I asked.
"Pearls Edward, the finest pearls found." She said as she held out a necklace that was almost exactly the same as the one I held in my hand.
"Where did you get this?" I asked as I stood up next to her.
"Well I got it from Carlisle, but I researched it when I wanted another string." She said as she turned to smile at Carlisle.
"And?" Rosalie asked.
"They are only found in Indonesia, this color and clarity is only found there." She said as she smiled...proud of herself.
"Everyone go pack, I will make arrangments." Carlisle said as he opened his cellphone, dialing the airlines.
