Chapter 14:

BPOV

“So what should we start with?” I asked Amber.

“Well the stairs they went up are there. The kitchen is to the right. I see a door on the other side of the kitchen I am betting is attached to a garage. If the keys are in the garage I’m sure we can find something to drive out of here. So what do you say we tear down the curtains and light them at the base of the stairs. Maybe the sofa and love seat?”

“Sure. Pyromania isn’t really my thing but I’m game. What if the keys aren’t in the garage?”

“Then we are going to do the fastest hot wiring known to man.”

“Okay let’s start.”

I walked up to the curtains. They really were beautiful. Esme had such good taste. Seemed a shame. I pulled the curtain rod down quickly and lit the curtain. Once I had a good flame going I threw it at the stairs. I ran and grabbed the other curtains and did the same. The stairwell was carpeted. And apparently very flammable. I ran to the kitchen and lit the kitchen curtains on fire. I heard movement and shouting and I guess the Cullens figured out that something wasn’t right.

“Bella! Are you okay?” Bella!”

Edward sounded like he was in a panic. I didn’t hear footsteps behind me so I guess they were going out the windows to get around to the front. I saw a coat rack by the door hopefully leading to the garage. I lit up a wool scarf and left it next to the wall. Wow, it was getting hot in the living room. These old houses are beautiful but they really are firetraps.

I opened the garage door and right next to the door on the wall was a key holder with several keys, conveniently labeled. Let’s see what to take.

“Hurry the fuck up B!”

“Hold on bitch.” Let’s see, Porsche? No. Mercedes Benz? No. Volvo? Fuck no. And then I saw it. The keys couldn’t be right. I turned around and saw Amber already staring at it. Oh Jesus, I just got wet.

“Is that what I think it is?”

“Yeah.” Amber said breathlessly.

A Ducati 1199 PanigaleS tricolore Superbike.

I looked at the ground and saw a gas can next to it. That will come in handy. “You know how to make a homemade fuse Amber?”

“Yeah and so do you.”

Edward POV

We made it out the windows and tried to get in through the front door but it was too hot. Oh God if Bella is in there. I can’t think about it. She must be around here somewhere. I heard the garage door go up. We all turned around and saw Bella, thank God. What is she? She’s on Rose’s bike. That bike is way too powerful for her. She drove off down the driveway and gave us her middle finger. Fucking wolves. The things they have taught her. She’s not even wearing a helmet! “Edward!” We have to go after her! Get a car!” I heard Carlisle yell.

I ran to the garage and saw something strange. It looked like paper oil rags were burning. They were tied together in a rope leading into the window of my Volvo. The flame was moving pretty fast. What is that in my front seat? Looks like a gas can. Oh shit.

Carlisle POV

What is taking so long? Oh shit. I heard the explosion and turned in time to see Edward flying back in flames from the garage. Something just landed on him. It looks like the tire off his Volvo? What the hell was going on? Esme ran to Edward and began putting out his flaming clothes. I turned and looked at my family who were staring at me with disbelief in their eyes. Alice was shouting about her clothes. I turned and looked at our house. It was completely in flames. It looks like the fire spread from the downstairs living room up the stairs and moved quickly. I heard sirens off in the distance. The fire must have been seen from the city. We have to get out of here. I felt my cell phone ring and looked at my caller ID. Aro. Probably best if I don’t take this call right now.

BPOV

Oh my God, if you are ever taken hostage by vampires and have to escape, if you have the means I highly recommend using a Ducati 1199 PanigaleS tricolore Superbike. I can’t believe it. I am up to 180 miles per hour right now. Thank the lord I am on a straight stretch of highway. Now where the hell am I? I didn’t care. I was getting as far away from those assholes as I possibly could.

I was enjoying the ride of my life. The wind was blowing in my hair and I could almost not see due to the wind in my face. In hindsight I really should have grabbed that helmet. At least I would have a visor.

Paul POV

I was in Charlie’s house pacing. Still no word and she has been gone for almost two days. She must be scared out of her mind. Who am I kidding? She is fucking pissed. I was fucking pissed. The pack was pissed. When we got word of where they were we were going to turn those motherfuckers into…

“Chief! We got something!”

“What do you got?” Charlie excitedly asked. It would be our first lead if it panned out.

“A police report out of New Hampshire says a large house is on fire. And it appears citizens are reporting there is a girl on a motorcycle doing about 180 on the highway not far from there. From the brief flash they got of her it looks like it could be our girl. Police will intercept as soon as they can catch up.”

“You think that could be her Chief?” I had to know.

“A girl leaving a burning mansion on a bike capable of doing 180 miles an hour? How could it not be her? Agent Riley, can you get me a chopper? I need to go get my little girl.”

“I’m coming with you, Chief.”

“Never thought you wouldn’t son.”

BPOV

This is so awesome. I can barely see the car’s occupants as I am flashing by. No way the Cullens can catch me. Especially if their precious cars blew up like I hoped. I heard a strange sound overhead. I looked up for a second and saw a helicopter. A guy on a bullhorn was saying something to me but I couldn’t understand what he was saying with the wind in my hair. I looked in my rearview mirror and saw multiple police cars behind me. Shit. I guess this is a good thing but Charlie is going to have a hell of a time getting me out of this speeding ticket.

Paul POV

We were in a chopper heading to New Hampshire. We would have to stop twice for fueling. I can’t believe those assholes took her to the other side of the fucking country.

“Chief we got a call for you.”

“Charlie Swan.”

I could hear the conversation.

“Chief this is Sheriff Dearborne. We got your girl safe and sound. Poor thing was going so fast on a motorcycle. Said she had to escape the Cullens and didn’t even know how to stop the damn bike. We got her calmed down now though. She’s a brave little thing. They were keeping her in the house that burned down. She says they were going to try some mass suicide by fire thing but they backed out at the last minute and left her for dead. We are looking all over for those fuckers Chief. They won’t get away.”

“Thanks for the news Sheriff. We will be there in 2 hours.”

BPOV

God I hated playing scared little girl for these cops. But I didn’t even want to think about how much a 180 mile an hour speeding ticket would cost. They were so considerate.

“Ms. Swan, I just spoke to your father and he will be here in two hours. Is there anything I can get you ma’am?

“No thank you Sheriff.”

“News media are starting to gather and are going to want to hear about your escape. What would you like me to tell them?”

“Tell them thanks for the concern and I am safe but I want to speak to my family before I say anything.”

“I sure will do that, Angel. You just relax till your daddy gets her.”

“Thank you so much Sheriff. I don’t know what I would have done without you and your brave men.” Actually I would have had the ride of my life cross country but he didn’t need to know that.

Two hours passed very slowly but I finally heard chopper blades. I ran to the front of the station and saw my Daddy and my Man pushing through a crowd of news reporters. He walked in and I ran into his arms and Paul’s arms were wrapped around me in the next second. I am not ashamed to say I cried. I was so relieved to have them here with me again. Daddy was crying and Paul looked like he was about to. They kept apologizing to me. The Sheriff gave us some privacy and I asked about the Newborn fight and was relieved none of my boys got hurt. I wanted to go home. But before I did I had something I had to do.

“We are here live at the Callum County Sheriff’s Department where Bella Swan is at after a heroic escape from the Cullen Compound. It is being reported that the Cullens attempted suicide by fire but changed their mind at the last minute. Due to the notoriety of Bella Swan’s face all over the news they left her there to die. Bella Swan is about to speak for the first time since her rescue hours ago when she was found on a motorcycle she took from the residence in her escape from death.”

Okay show time.

“I would like to say before we begin than you to all the men and women of law enforcement who worked to find me. It has been a stressful two days and I am so grateful to be back with my family and friends. I will now take questions.”

“Ms. Swan what happened at what is being called the Cullen compound?

“I was taken at gun point and drugged by Edward and Carlisle Cullen. I woke up in the house. Dr. Cullen told me that I was to be the girlfriend of his adopted son Edward and I should stop fighting it. He said if I wasn’t with Edward he would kill my family and friends. I was so scared. He told me how nobody knew his real name and he would make me disappear. I also heard the family talk about shifting funds into accounts to evade the IRS. I also heard calls in a language I didn’t understand. I did here the letters RPG .This morning Dr. Cullen told me the devil had spoken to him and demanded my sacrifice. He knocked me out in the living room and when I woke up the house was on fire. I don’t know where they went to. I ran to the garage and grabbed the first vehicle I could and drove off. I didn’t know where I was so I just started driving. I am so glad I was in an area that had such brave law enforcement officers like the men and women of the Callum County Sheriff’s department. That’s all I have to say right now. I need to get home to my family. Thank you for all your hard work in my rescue and please continue to look for the Cullens. I don’t know if I will be able to sleep well until they are caught.”

Charlie POV

This girl is so full of shit. Scared, my ass.

Paul POV

God I love this woman.

BPOV

I have been home for a day now and I feel so good. It was time to take care of some business. I showered and shaved everything, just like my man likes. He deserves it for the worry he has gone through.

“Paul?”

“Yes baby?”

“It’s time.”

“What time?”

“Time to mark me baby. Make me yours and make you mine…”

Without a word he led me into the bedroom and undressed me. I kissed him so deeply I couldn’t tell where I ended and he began. I took off his clothes. He laid me down on the bed and went down on me. He placed his hands gently under my back and turned me over. I knew how this had to be done. I moved my hair away from my neck and let it fall to the mattress. I raised my ass and spread my legs, giving him all the access he needed. I felt him enter me with a grunt. He grabbed my hips and started sliding in and out. He was so hard I was whimpering instead of moaning. His body is like my own personal brand of heroin. I don’t know how long he fucked me. I lost track of time. I felt him start to go faster. I could feel him swelling. He leaned over me and whispered he loved me. His hand pinched my clit and I came. I felt him come and then I felt his teeth. On my neck. Oh God it burned but it felt sooo good. I saw it. I was having visions. I saw Native Americans shifting into wolves, tribesmen being torn up by a vampire. A wolf attacking the vampire. Other warriors were changing into wolves and joining in. The vampire was being torn to pieces. I heard a voice speaking the same words to me that Old Quil spoke at Billy’s. I was a part of it now. I was connected like never before. I understood.

I felt Paul licking my mark. His hands were roaming my body and he had turned me on my back. I looked into his eyes. I don’t know how I ever breathed before I met this man. “I love you my Bella.”

“I love you my Paul.” He kept licking me gently all over until I drifted off to sleep.

Edward POV

“Carlisle what are we going to do?”

“Shut up Edward this is your fault!”

We were living in a cave. We had nowhere else to go. In addition to every law enforcement agency in the country looking for us we most likely had the Volturi looking for us as well.

“I don’t understand what could have started the fire. Bella could have been killed.”

“Edward you fucking retard. Bella started the fire!”

“Bella wouldn’t do that Rose!”

“She’s crazy Edward. She burned up all my clothes.” Alice always knew how to focus on the important things.

“Bullshit! She isn’t crazy, she just didn’t want you Edward. She wanted me. She told me so.”

“Are you out of your mind Emmett?!”

“Fuck you Edward, I love her!”

“You what?” Rose asked indignantly.

“Lay off Rose. I am tired of you treating me like shit.”

“Fuck you Emmett.”

“Everyone calm down.”

“Carlisle what are we going to do?”

“I don’t know Edward. But Bella is not our priority now. We need to figure out what to do about the Volturi.”

“So where do we start?”

“I guess I need to call Aro and hope for the best.”

Paul POV

I have never felt like this before. Tonight was… there were no words to describe it. I saw visions through Bella’s eyes. I felt our souls connect. I can’t believe I ever lived without her. I wish I could say we were going to live peacefully from this point on. But with the Cullens loose I had an idea that killing leeches were still going to be on the agenda. Besides they can’t stay away from my Bella it seems. And this time, no newborn army is going to be there to distract me. Their asses are mine.
