I swore up and down that I wouldn't write this story tonight. That I would write one of my others but I (along with a few pushes **Brysis and twilightgglost**) decided this needed to written. Hope I don't disappoint...

End of Chapter 11
"Bella?" I asked, afraid she was gone. "Bella, I love you, we will find you." I said again.
"Please hurry." She whispered.
"We will my love, please believe we are doing our best to find the clues that your kidnapper leaves us. We will find them all and I will be there as soon as I can. I promise."
"They must stop." A male voice said. "They can not play her game."
"Her?" Bella asked.
"Bella? Who is there with you?" I asked, a growl growing in my throat.
"A guard it's his phone. Oh Edward, please hurry...I love....." She said as the phone went dead.
Alice glared at me, slowly taking a step towards me with her arms outstretched. I moved back, not wanting her to comfort me...I needed to use my anger.
"Edward." She said as she moved and hugged me. "I saw her....for one second I saw her." She thought.
Chapter 12
"What?" I asked as I looked at her thoughts.
I saw Bella, her eyes wide in fear as a brown haired man turned away from her. She was laying on her back, her hand on her cheek as tears ran down her face. Her cheek was turning a shade of red as if....no.
Carlisle grabbed my shoulders, shaking me hard enough to move me a few feet to the side. "EDWARD" He said as she shook me again. "Stop this NOW."
"Edward, think of where we are." Esme said her thoughts about all of the people who were staring at me.
I realized that I was crouched, as if I were going to attack. None of them knew what was upsetting me, and I couldn't talk to them about this until I calmed down. I pulled myself away from Carlisle, walking quickly down the corridor, not stopping until I found the parking ramp.
I walked down the long row of cars until I found a dark corner. I had to be wrong.....Alice had to be wrong....she's been wrong before. Why would anyone hurt Bella? But..the look of fear and pain on her face was etched into my brain, the fact that the man was walking away...leaving her.
I turned, my fist hitting the cement wall as I realized that the man had hurt her. I swore in that one second that I would find him and no matter what else happened...he would die.
I was staring at the wall, my memory flooded with the look in Bella's eyes. I was so focused on her face that I didn't care that my family had walked behind me, Emmett putting one arm around my shoulders.
"Alice told us." He said as she tried to comfort me.
"Edward." Alice said.
"No!" I yelled at her.
"Edward." Jasper said as he stepped between Alice and I.
"Move Jasper." Alice said as she shoved at his arm. "Please, [i}I[/i] need to do this."
Emmett's arm stayed on my arms, and I knew from his thoughts that it was more then just to try to make me feel better. They had a plan in case I got out of control....again.
"Edward," Alice said as she stepped towards me. "Please, we have to find her. She's so scared, she's lonely, frightened, and...hurt."
"Alice." I said as I turned my head away from her.
"Please, be mad at me." She said as she looked up at me, ignoring the growl from Jasper in the background. "I thought you would want to know, it could help."
"Alice, could you draw the room she was in?" Carlisle asked.
"Yes, it's there every time I blink" She said sadly.
"Alright, let's go to the hotel. Alice if you could draw that, then we will all try and figure out where she is." Carlisle said as he stepped closer to me, his thoughts only about how we would find Bella, we would get her back and then I could be happy again.
I shook my head at him. "Not until I have her in my arms." I said as I hung my head.
"Let's go." Esme said as she walked up and hugged me tightly.
We all went to two cars that were waiting in the parking ramp, a driver holding a sign that said "Bauer." I looked at Carlisle who nodded as he smiled and walked towards the driver.
"Mr. Bauer?" He said.
"Yes, thank you for meeting me on such short notice." Carlisle said as the driver opened the door.
"My pleasure sir." He said as he held the door open as, Esme,myself, Alice and Carlisle climbed into the first car.
Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie went in the car behind...and much to my surprise Jasper never said anything about having to ride without Alice.
"Alice?" I said.
"I wanted to be with you, you saw what I did and you are not the only one upset." She said.
I put my hand on her shoulder, suddenly feeling horrible....I hadn't even thought about how upset Alice would be by what she saw, Bella was her best friend...I felt horrible.
"Alice," I said as I looked down at her.
"It's ok." She said as she tried to smile, her thoughts about Bella's expressions.
I hugged her tightly in the car as we drove to a large hotel, pulling into the parking area. The driver opened the door, ushering us into the hotel lobby.
Carlisle walked up to the front desk, the small woman behind the counter blushing as she thought about how attractive he was.
"We'd like to check in please?" He said as he smiled at her.
"And your name, please?"
"Bauer."
"Oh, Mr. Bauer...yes. We have four rooms held for you." She said, surprised as Carlisle took out a gold credit card and handed it to her.
"Thank you, here are your room keys." She said as she took four key cards and programed them quickly.
Carlisle took the cards, handing one to Emmett, Jasper, myself and slipped one into his pocket. The bell boy was rolling our bags into a cart as the front desk girl ran around the desk, holding something in her arms.
"Mr. Bauer, this came for you a hour ago." She said as she handed Carlisle a package.
Carlisle looked at me, his thoughts full of fear as he smiled down at the girl....fishing money out of his pocket to tip her.
"We will open this upstairs." He said to all of us. "Shall we meet in our room?"
love ya
