"Bella," came Edward's voice.

A child ran down the length of her spine, fear flooding her. She glanced at the phone and realized the number that had called wasn't Jacob's. She hadn't even looked at the screen in her haste to speak to her friend before answering.

"Bella," he said again, more urgently this time. "Bella, are you hurt? What have they done to you, my love?"

"Edward," she breathed, finding her voice. "Where are you?"

"Don't worry, I'm coming to get you, love. Carlisle told me that they took you- but I'll be there soon," he said in a rush.

"H-how did you get this number?" she asked weakly.

"Alice," he said. "She was reluctant, but I got her to give in eventually. My family- they don't want me to go up against the Volturi. They're afraid for me, you understand, my love. But you are going to be my wife and they must accept that I would die for you."

Bella swallowed the lump forming in her throat. She couldn't tell if Edward was truly delusional, or if he was gaslighting not only her, but himself with this spiel.

"No, Edward," she said quietly. "I'm not."

"Not what, love?" he asked. "If you don't want the big wedding Alice was planning, we can go to Vegas. I've already told your father that we eloped so he wouldn't worry-"

"I'm not marrying you, Edward," she interrupted. "And I'm not leaving with you. I'm staying here."

Edward snarled into the phone, making Bella flinch away from the receiver. He took several breaths, clearly trying to gain control of himself before he next spoke.

"Bella," he said, sounding as though he were speaking through clenched teeth. "What have they told you? That you're their mate? I know you're human, but even you can't be that naïve, Bella."

"I know I'm their mate, Edward," she said coolly. "I can feel it."

"You feel thrall, Bella," he hissed. "They're manipulating you. They have talented members of their guard that can make you feel things. You must know that they would never share a mate, Bella."

"Ask Alice if you don't believe me, Edward. She saw it."

"Alice saw you as their concubine, Bella," he growled. "A whore, nothing more. Aro only wants you for his guard and to warm his bed. He's a master manipulator. Do you know that they're already mated? Aro and Caius both have wives, and Marcus lost his many years ago. They're toying with you!"
