Ambrosia's POV

I stood at the window of our small hotel room in Phoenix, my hands clapsed together tightly to keep me from picking at my skin, to say my nerves were shot would be an understatement, I felt like I was missing a part of myself, it made me sick and it also made me feel... helpless...I felt utterly and completely helpless. 

God only knows when I last had a full night of sleep, and it didn't help that they couldn't call me and I couldn't call them, all I could do was try to keep my mind off of it but even then it seemed impossible, Everytime I closed my eyes I saw them, Everytime I zoned out, I sketched, I watched a movie, I listened to music, hell even when bells and I tried to call mama their faces were at the very forefront of my head. 

Carlisle and Esme had been amazing throughout all of this, they were constantly reassuring me that everything would be fine, reminding me to eat, sleep, they even sat down to watch movies with bells and I, I really don't know what I would have done without them. I took a deep breath trying to gather my thoughts when I felt a hand meet my shoulder and suddenly I wasn't standing near a window in Phoenix, I felt my breathing pick up as I looked around,

 'What...Where,' I thought continuing to look around, everything about this place was familiar, deja Vu hitting me like a freight train, 'Ive been here before,' I thought my gaze hardening. 

I could vaguely hear my name being called but I was focused, I needed to know where I was and what was going one, I heard rustling and I turned to see a set of dark doors infront of me, I moved forward with careful steps, my eyes straying all around me seeing several reflections of me all over the place, I gently sat my hands on the gold metal of the door handle before pulling away quickly with a hiss as it seemingly burned me like something was there that I wasn't meant to see.

I took a deep breath and looked around again but instead of seeing myself in the mirror by myself I saw James standing behind me, I stopped breathing and my eyes widened as he smirked at the mirror before he turned away, 'He can't see me,' I thought as I felt my shoulders being shaken and a soft voice asking me to come back before I felt metal being pressed gently to my ear. 

"love...Love can you hear me?" Alice's voice cut through my senses and suddenly I was ripped away from the scene infront of me making me gasp as my senses came back my hand flying to my ear to grab now what I registered as a phone being pressed to my ear as I blinked rapidly my eyes adjusting to the room I was in, "Ali-cat," I responded softly feeling someone gently rubbing my back. "

What'd you see love?" She asked me softly and I took a deep breath closing my eyes, "Uh umm, mirrors, a room full of mirrors, a-and I saw doors mahogany or some dark oak doors, uh, gold handles," I told her softly hearing bells make a noise of recognition behind me making me look at her, "What?" I asked her seeing her look at me, 

"You just described our old ballet studio ambs," she replied and my jaw slacked in shock, 'thats why it was so familiar' I thought. 

"Is that studio there in Phoenix?" Alice asked and I nodded before I realized she couldn't see my movement, 

"Y-Yeah its right near our old house," I clarified before I heard the phone be handed off to someone else, 

"Baby..," Edward's voice came through the phone and I shut my eyes I had two of their voices and I knew where there was Alice there was Jasper so he had to be the one driving, 

"Edward," I replied softly, 

"We're on our way okay, we're going to come get you get you and bella somewhere safe while we figure out what to do okay?" He said and I closed my eyes and let out a soft breath, "Okay," I replied hearing him sigh in relief, 

"We love you," he said softly and I let a small smile appear on my face, "I Love you too, all of you," I replied before I gently handed the phone to Esme who's stood behind me causing her to smile and exit the room just as my phone went off from the bedside table my mother's familiar ringtone hitting bella and I's ears.

 I quickly walked around the bed bells joining me at my side as I swiftly answered, "Mama?" I called before I heard her voice making me realize how much I actually missed you,

 "Amber, Bella?! Where are you?!" She asked and I chuckled my sister leaning closer to hear, 

"Mama we're fine we're at a hotel," I tried only to be cut off by my mother, 

"Where are you?!" She asked again, 

"We're close mom," bells said only for our mom to start talking again, 

"Amb--," she started, 

"Mama?" I questioned before my blood ran cold as an all too familiar chuckle sounded. 

 "James..?" I whispered out praying that I was wrong, 

"You know Forks really needs to keep their students records under wraps, it was almost comically easy for me to find this place. Oh and how wonderful was it for me to arrive just after mommy dearest received a phone call from your father making her rush home," he stated and I felt my heart speed up, 

"J-just don't hurt her, I'm begging you please don't hurt her," I responded my sister grabbed tightly onto my shirt as she listened, 

"Don't hurt her... Okay how about this, I want you and your sister to meet me..oh let's see... Ah at your old ballet studio, how does that sound...you two for your mother.," He asked like he was giving my sister and I a chance to find another option, I looked at my sister and she nodded slowly. 

"We'll be there, just give us an hour we...we have to get away," I replied hearing him laugh, "You might wanna hurry... I'm getting hungry...oh and if you tell anyone... momma dearest is dead understood?" He questioned and bella and I both nodded, 

"we understand," I replied before the line went dead. I sat the phone back down on the bedside table and looked at my sister before running my hand over my face my brain running a million miles a minute. 

"Okay here's the plan, Carlisle and Esme are going to sign us out, I'm going to go to the bathroom because I don't feel well and you're gonna follow a couple minutes later to check on me, by that time I'll have gotten the bathroom window open for us to sneak out okay?" I asked seeing her nod, I sighed softly and pulled her into my arms, 

"I won't let anything happen to you or mama okay? We'll make it," I reassured her making her nod and hug me back 'You two will be safe,' I thought as I gently kissed her fore head before we pulled away from one another. "Let's get this done," I said softly earning a nod, 

"Let's get this done," she replied softly taking my hand in her as I grabbed my phone off of the bedside table and we left the bedroom heading into the small entryway where Carlisle had just entered to come collect us, "Are you two ready to go?" He asked softly and we nodded at one another.
