The adopted Swan

Chapter 14

Esmeray's POV
I sighed and tossed my duffel bag on the bed and looked up at Charlie.

"Da- we-Charlie," I began making him wince "Everything's a mess right now, and I need space away from everyone. I— I need time to think. I just- I need a minute to breathe without you" he frowned and nodded "Take all the time you need. I'll be here waiting for you, little moon."

I stood up and hugged him before getting on my bike ignoring the stares of the proxies from in the woods. I rode to the Cullen house where Alice and Jasper drove us to Phoenix, Arizona.

I showered and changed before laying down and curling up into a ball.

I cried myself to sleep that night as a feeling of helplessness filled my being.

~~~timeskip~~~

The next day Alice was stuck in the future. She kept drawing the old ballet studio and James covered in blood. Sometimes it changed. Sometimes James was pinned to a wall by a dark tentacle thing. Sometimes he was torn apart. It all ended the same though, with Bella dead.

That pissed her off though since she wanted to be a vampire. She should've realized by now that no vampire would turn her. They only saw her as food or a nuisance.

Jasper went out to get us some food. I asked for something fast and greasy as I was numb and needed some comfort food making Jasper smirk, Alice fail to cover up her snicker, and Bella give me a disgusted look and mutter 'whore' under her breath. I was confused why was wanting food that was unhealthy but comforting a funny/slut shaming thing?

Jasper shook his head and promised to tell me when I'm older. I sighed and flopped on one of the beds and turned on the tv. Alice continued sketching while Bella answered a phone call seemingly from Renee. Switched at birth, the parent trap, the fosters, sister sister, the lying game-?! Was there nothing to watch?!

My thoughts were cut off when Bella yanked me up from the bed and dragged me out of the hotel room. I was stunned but once we made it to the hallway I snapped out of it and wrenched muse from her grasp "What the fuck Bella?!" I snapped, making her whirl around and storm up to me and raised her hand as if she was going to slap me but before it could come down I caught her wrist.

The lights flickered and the shadows moved as if they were alive. A few lightbulbs burst and the shadows surrounded us threateningly. I felt a familiar burning on my back as if something was trying to claw itself out of me. Static filled both our heads and Bella grasped hers as if she was in pain 'Don't you ever try to hit me again Isabella Swan! I am stronger than you and I won't hesitate to end your life! Do you understand me?!' Bella was crying but I didn't care. I squeezed her wrist tighter and stepped forward a little bit closer to her 'I said DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!' "Yes!" She sobbed out pathetically.

The shadows retreated, the lights stopped flickering, the static and burning sensation stopped as I calmed down and stepped back releasing Bella from my grasp "Now answer my question. What. The. Fuck. Is. Going. On?" I said stoically, as Bella cradled her wrist and whimpered "James kidnapped mom and now he's holding her hostage unless we go to him without the Cullens" I raised a brow at her "I knew you were an idiot, but this takes the cake for your stupidity" Bella's eyes widened "W-what?!" "It's obviously a trap. Why would he go all the way to Florida just to kidnap Renee and use her as a bargaining chip when he could've easily followed us to Arizona and tricked us into going somewhere alone with him?"

"I heard her voice!" Bella snapped, making me roll my eyes and say "Okay, and? Renee still has a house here with her stuff still in it since storage containers are expensive and she doesn't have a house in Jacksonville yet. Did you forget that Renee literally made home videos of you every week of every month and every year? He could've easily broken in and used one of them" Bella scowled "You're lying! He has my mother held prisoner somewhere and you're standing here wasting my time to save her all because you're a selfish, bitter bitch! Renee fed you, put a roof over your head, and gave you clothes! You should be more grateful!"

That's when I lost it "Grateful?! I should be fucking grateful to the woman who kidnapped me from my father, who beat me and would starve me as punishment, who allowed her boyfriends to grope and molest me, who forbade me from returning home for 12 years, who locked me in a dark closet to hide me away from her pervy boyfriends and her stuck up bitchy friends because she was embarrassed of me?! I should be grateful to the abusive cow that stole my childhood?! Fuck that! And fuck you too Bella! Let that bitch die for all I care!"

I whirled around and went back to the room door as Bella stormed off to save her darling, beloved mother. I rolled my eyes and went to knock on the door when my hand froze as I remembered Alice's visions.....all that blood......Bella was going to get herself killed and break dad and Renee's heart.........
Son of a bitch!

I stormed down the hallway, to the elevator, and out the lobby I saw a taxi with Bella inside bitching to the poor cabdriver. I walked over and got in Bella's head snapped to me "What the hell are you doing here?!" I rolled my eyes "Shut the fuck up Isabella Marie, you're in enough trouble with me as is" I then turn to the driver who was staring at me gratefully "The ballet studio on Aggie Road and Argen Drive, please" I requested politely, and he quickly nodded "Yes, ma'am!" And we sped off.

When we arrived at the ballet studio I paid the driver and added a good tip for dealing with Bella. We walked into the studio and not even a minute of walking in I heard Renee's staticky, and automatic sounding voice call out "Bella? Bella?! Where are you?!" Repeatedly "Mom!" Bella cried out and began running around the studio looking for her 'mother' while I casually walked around and looked for James. We finally stopped in front of a storeroom closet and when Bella ripped it open we saw a tv that had one of Renee's home videos of Bella in a ballerina costume. The video kept skipping and repeating the same line over and over.

I fucking told her..........

We then heard a wicked cackle "You were a very bratty child weren't you? Looks like some things never change" We turned around to see James standing there with a camera in his left hand he looked between us with a pure evil smirk and said "Oh, goodie, you brought your sexy little sister.....now this'll be fun!" He suddenly raised the camera and turned it on and started recording.
