You aren't the only one anxious about finding out what happened to Bella. It for sure is on the books for the next chapter. Now as promised...here's a preview....it's not been through the editing process so excuse any glaring errors. :-)

“Bella, stay in the car.” His voice was stern and offered no room for argument. “Do you hear me?”

I nodded. “Yes daddy.”

He reached under my chin so I would look at him in the eyes. “And Bella. If something happens to me. I want you to run. Run as fast as you can away from here.”

My eyes grew large when I registered what he was saying. “But,”

“No buts Bella, swear to me.”

I didn't know what to say. If something happened to him I didn't know if I'd have the will in me to run, but for him I would try. “I swear Daddy.”

He looked into my eyes once more. “I love you princess.”

It was torture waiting after he left the car and shut the door. I didn't hear anything for five long minutes then I heard three gun shots fire off in quick succession. Before I could think it through I opened the door. I had barely put a foot out of the car when I heard my father yell, “Bella run!”

I looked over to where I heard his voice coming from. He was struggling with a young blonde man. He elbowed the man in the nose and sent him reeling. I took one last look at my father and turned to make an escape. My path was immediately blocked by a very large man. A man that I recognized very well.

“What do we have here?” He sneered. He reached for me and my instincts kicked in. I pushed the heal of my hand straight up into his nose. He staggered back slightly and I leaped around him. I didn't get far though. He was only a few steps behind me. He grabbed me by my hair and pulled me back to him. I struggled against his tight hold “Ah ah ah princess,” he said as he drew a knife and pressed it into my throat. “Drop the gun Charlie.”

Thanks. I can't help but feel awkward though. It's so not usually my thing. I'm glad that you like it.
