Ok Edward's POV...it's going to be strange when I get to the point that I don't have to write both of their versions....I don't know if I can go back to just one side LOL!!!! Here we go:
End of Chapter 17
Alice turned the box over and sure enough there was a note written in very small writing.
"I have your Swan
So here is another.
Your next clue awaits
in the corals of the deep."
"What?" Emmett asked.
"Australia....coral." Esme said.
"The Great Barrier Reef." Alice said as she smiled.
"Queensland." Carlisle said.
"I'm getting sick of this game." Emmett said softly.
"Me too Emmett, me too." I said as the swan finally made it's way into my hands. The glass just as breakable as Bella was, I held it close to my chest, wondering where she was...what she was doing.
Chapter 18
Everyone slowly trickled out of the room, Esme stopping to kiss the top of my head on her way out of the room. The opened my eyes to notice that the only ones left in the room was Jasper, Alice and I.
"Alice," I said as I looked at her. "Could you draw the room where she is being held?"
"Yes, I think I could. Jasper...my paper is in my bag, could you get that and a pencil for me please?" She asked as she smiled up at him.
He nodded, bending down to kiss her softly before he walked out, closing the door softly.
"We have paper in here." I said as she got up and moved closer to me.
"I know...but it drives him nuts when we communicate without words...and I had to talk to you." She said as she scooted right next to me.
"What is it?" I asked.
"When I touched the swan I saw her again, just a flash..not enough that you would have noticed." She said, upset because she was keeping things from me.
"Alice, what did you see?" I asked, my hand reaching out and touching her shoulder.
"Here." She said as she closed her eyes,focusing on one particular memory.
I saw Bella sitting on the edge of the large bed, her leg hurt as a drop of blood ran down her leg. There was a woman in the room who's head snapped up as Bella wiped a drop of blood off her leg, she started stalking towards Bella.
"EDWARD!!!" Alice was screaming as I realized I was crouching in a defensive stance, growling loudly.
"You know what this means!?" I said, my voice rough from growling as loud as I was.
"Vampires." Alice said softly.
"We have to find her....now." I said as the door opened and Jasper walked in, stopping just inside the door....dropping the pencil and pad of paper.
"What's going on?" He asked as he looked around the room, he had sensed my anger and tension as he walked in...he knew something was going on.
"Jazz." Alice said as she held her hand out to him.
"Alice, tell me what's going on? Please don't tell me nothing, because something happened to cause the emotions in this room." He said as he looked at her, fighting the urge to go to her.
"Jazz, we know who has Bella." She said softly as she lowered her arm.
"How did you figure that out? Who has her?" He asked as he walked to her, wrapping his arms around her protectively.
"I had a flash, not a vision but just a flash of things. Bella hurt her leg in the room she is being held in....there was another.....person with her." She said, searching for the right words.
"Vampires, Jasper. That is who has Bella." I said, my voice just a whisper.
Jasper's body tensed, as if he were awaiting someone to walk through the door. "Is she safe?" He asked.
"We don't know." Alice said sadly. "It was just a flash, I didn't get to see much."
Jasper wrapped his arms around her tightly, kissing the top of her head. "No one blames you, you have helped so much with this." He said as he kissed her again.
"He's right Alice, we know she's in a large room..and that there are people feeding her, there was a huge pile of food in the corner." I said as I moved to sit on the other side of her.
"But now we know that she is with vampires." She said sadly.
"Yes we do, that helps our search." I said. "Jasper, could you get the paper and pencil please?" I asked.
He kissed the top of her head again before he stood up, walking over to grab the paper and pencil off the floor. He rushed back, handing Alice the notepad, and a sharpened pencil.
"Please, Alice. Please draw where she is." I begged.
She closed her eyes, focusing as she began to draw the bedroom where Bella was being held. There was a large bed in the middle of the room, it's four posts standing up straight with netting strung between them. There was a door that could be either a closet or a bathroom, a dresser, a dressing table, a table that was full of different foods. The last thing she drew was Bella, sitting on the edge of the bed...her eyes wide in fear...and a shadow.
