Frozen Twilight Book Three: Strong

The Pack Knows

*Pitch Black*

It was time. To scare her. To let her know that it is not a game I play. If I captured the Cullens, she would show up, easily. Once she showed up, I would know who she was. How she managed to hide from me is extraordinary.

I had to plan everything carefully. Perhaps even use her for this.

Yes, I would tell her about the Princess and the Cullens. I wouldn't tell her the truth, just parts of it. She would fight along my side. She would destroy them easily.

*Isabella Swan*

*A month Later*

Things have been quiet. Nina is getting much better at her practice. At school Edward and I don't talk as much. Everything has been calm, with no signs of anymore slaves around.

When Billy and Jacob come over, Nina and I have tried to avoid him a bit. I wasn't as mad anymore. But it really hurt my feelings he thought of such things about my second family.

Seeing Esme was a hard thing. Not being able to tell her anything. To thank the woman who was once my mother. The woman that emotionally stopped me from loving my birth mother at one point. I owed everything to her.

"It's time to go to school Bells." Nina said and I nodded.

Today was different. Something was off, I could feel it. It was in my bones, I sensed something wrong. I wasn't in the mood to go to school. I didn't want to talk to anyone, I felt off. When lunch came around, I didn't see any of my brothers and sisters, or even Tanya. In Biology, Edward was not there either.

I was in Biology when the teachers phone rang. He answered it and then looked at me. His eyes seemed a little surprised. When he hung up he turned to me.

"Isabella, you're leaving. Your dad's  here to pick you up." The teacher said. I felt something in my stomach, yes, something was definitely wrong. I picked up my things and walked out. I went to the main office and saw Charlie and Nina waiting for me.

"You just need to sign here, Cheif." The woman said handing him a clipboard. Charlie signed quickly and then we walked to the parking lot.

"We have to hurry, Bella, take the truck. We have to go home." Charlie said serious. I nodded and practically ran to my truck.

As I was driving I felt extremely nervous. My heart was pounding so fast, it scared me.

Once home Charlie opened the door letting us in, he then locked it and closed every curtain downstairs.

"What's going on?" I asked scared.

"Okay, well..... I was here picking up some paperwork really quickly and the phone rang....... the one thats in your room. When I answered it was the King." Charlie began to explain.

"He said the Cullens had gone missing.  That Pitch took them. He was waiting for the most unexpected moment. Pitch has the Cullens and we need to-" Charlie was saying but suddenly I couldn't hear him.

There was a ringing in my ears, had I gone deaf? All I saw was darkness. Had I gone blind? It didn't matter.

Edward. He has Edward. It was the only thing I could think about. My Edward. My Edward was in Pitch's hands. My family. Why? What do they have to do with any of this?

"Bella! Bella please! You can't do this to us right now!" I heard Charlie's voice. My eyes opened, I had not realized I had closed them. I was on the floor.

"Bella! Please, you can't faint right now! We have to find them. Everything is going to be okay. Do you hear me?" Charlie said desperately. Nina handing me a glass of water. I drinked a little and they sat me down on the floor.
