End of Chapter 24
We had been swimming for about 10 minutes, staring at the coral below when Emmett stopped in his place, his finger pointing to the rif below. Hanging off the rif was a bright yellow bag, a buoy holding it so that it didn't float away.
I swam down, pulling the bag free of the coral as a paling stuck it's head out of it's hiding spot. I shook my head as the paling went to strike my hand, but missed because I moved faster then it did.
I nodded at Emmett as I held the bag out for him to see, before I began swimming back to the shore. When we emerged from the water, there was a small family that had already began setting up their strand gear for the day. A small girl stood on the shore, her jaw hanging down as two grown men walked out of the water, one holding a bright yellow bag.
She was about to start yelling for her mother when I caught her eye and shook my head so that she didn't say anything. Emmett and I walked past the girl as she watched both of us, I smiled at her as we passed and laughed silently when I hart-, hart her hart-, hart beat rise.
We had gotten within a few hundred feet from the hotel when Emmett stopped, his body freezing as he looked around both of us. I was about to ask him what was going on...searching the thoughts of everyone around, and getting frustrated when I heard nothing but Emmett's thoughts. I was about to tell him to get moving, when I caught the smell of someone...a vampire. I was sure that this 'person' was not a member of our family...and that made me wonder what was going on.
Chapter 24
I knew that this was not the place for a confrontation, and all I could hear from Emmett's thoughts was how excited he was about the possible confrontation.
"Emmett, we can't do this here. There's too many people here...too many witnesses." I zei as I looked over to the family who was still on the beach, the young girl watching Emmett and I.
Emmett's mind started searching for area's that were dark and enclosed, he was thinking of the pool which was full of people...the gym which was dark but had people exercising, and finally the aan het uploaden dock which was dark and secluded enough that no one would notice us.
I nodded at him as we began working our way to the edge of the docking bay, talking quietly so that no one else but 'our kind' would understand. When we got to the dock, Emmett walked around so that he was standing on the upper aan het uploaden deck so that he had a height advantage.
I stood there, my arms crossed against my chest as I heard two sets of steps walking around the back of the building. I looked up as two people walked around, their eyes searching for us.
"Can I help you?" I asked as I stepped closer to them.
"No, sorry....we're lost." The taller of the two men zei as he looked at his partner and nodded.
"No, u aren't lost." I zei as I got up close enough to see the red color of his eyes.
The taller of the two stier rushed me, trying to knock me off my feet, but luckily I was faster then he was. I used his vooruit, voorwaarts motion to send him flying into the aan het uploaden baai, bay where Emmett was standing. Emmett laughed loudly as he jumped off the aan het uploaden bay, landing on the first mans back...knocking him to the ground. Loud growls escaping both of them as they rolled around trying to get the upper hand in the fight.
The other man was a bit shorter then me, but he was fast...faster then the other man but not faster then I was. I moved to the side as he threw himself at me, his jaws going for my throat. I grabbed is face, holding him away from my head...knowing that if he got his teeth near my neck that I would die.
I took my other hand and used both of our bodies to throw him off balance, causing us to fall. When we fell, I managed to get some distance between his face and my neck. I raised my hand and thrust it as hard as I could into his face, causing him to fly a few feet away so that I could gather myself and get to my feet again.
I had a seconde to look over and see that Emmett had began ripping pieces off of the man he was fighting, a large grin on his face as he enjoyed himself. I saw Emmett rear back to attack the man's neck, ending the fight. I was about to commentaar when I was hit from behind, sending me into Emmett....knocking both of us off balance.
The man walked over to his friend, reaching down to help him to his feet when the aan het uploaden dock was suddenly very crowded.
"I would stop now if I were you." Carlisle zei as he took a step close to the two men who were surprised to see the rest of our family spread out, blocking any exit that they may have had.
I climbed to my feet, helping Emmett up as we turned and watched the rest of the family lower themselves into a fighting stance. A grow growing deep in Emmetts chest as he saw one of the men watching Rosalie, then flicking to Alice as if they would be the weakest linken in this family.
"I wouldn't do that." Alice zei sweetly as the first man took a step vooruit, voorwaarts and then looked at her.
"They were right, u can see things." He growled at Alice, Jasper moving up to block her.
"What else did they tell you?" Rosalie asked as she stepped closer to the men.
"Babe." Emmett warned as he started moving towards her, but stopped when I put a hand on his arm.
"We won't say anything." The shorter of the two said.
"If I were you, I would talk. Jasper is very good at getting people to talk." Carlisle said.
"We don't know anything, we were just told to come here and watch how close u were getting. And to stop u if u found the volgende clue."
"Who has Bella?" I asked quietly.
Neither of them answered, in fact neither of them turned to even look at me. My patients were wearing thin, I had meer then enough of all of these games...I was going to get them to talk..or force them if need be.
"I will only ask one meer time...WHO....HAS...BELLA!!" I yelled into their faces.
"Patience Edward." Esme zei softly.
"We honestly know nothing, we were just hired to watch your family. We were told to call if there were any problems." The taller one zei as he held out his cell phone.
"Call who?" Jasper asked.
"We don't know, they are paying us. We know nothing else." The first one pleaded. Jasper took the phone from the mans hand, turning to hand it to Alice as the man attacked.
Jasper barely flinched when the man sank his teeth into Jasper's shoulder...in fact Jasper simply turned and began the battle dance that would end quickly. Jasper had the man door the hair, his neck pulled back to expose his throat. Jasper's teeth slid against the neck, slicing it as if it were the easiest thing he had ever done.
The seconde man was not as foolish, once he watched his friend die he fell to his knees, his hands above his head. "Please, please don't hurt me." He pleaded.
"Where is Bella?" Jasper asked as he stepped closer, Carlisle's hand reaching out to stop him before he could attack again.
"Why is this precious human so important to your family?"
"That is none of your business. Where is Bella?" Alice asked as she stepped closer to Jasper.
"I do not know." The man lied.
"Ok, Jasper." I zei as I moved as fast as I could, wrapping my hands around his wrists holding him where he was.
"WAIT!" He pleaded. "I don't know because they are moving her." He cried.
"Where was she?" Esme asked.
"Scotland, a kasteel called Dumbarton." He zei quickly. "But they moved her today because u were getting too close to finding her."
"Dumbarton?" Carlisle asked, his eyes widening.
"Yes, please don't hurt me." He pleaded.
"I'm sorry, but we can't risk u running back to tell them we were coming. Please forgive me." Carlisle zei as he nodded at Jasper.
I knew that this was difficult for Carlisle, he never wanted to hurt anyone...never wanted to take a life if he didn't have to. However, this was the only way to ensure that the man wouldn't run back and tell them we were coming.
I walked over to Alice, wrapping my arm around her shoulder as I turned her away from seeing what was going to happen...but even without seeing the act, u could hear it.
She shivered slightly as she gripped the cell phone in her hands, being careful not to crush it in her hands. I was going to ask her to be careful when she went limp in my arms, a new vision of Bella taking all of her attention.
