Prologue
Fate had a weird way of making things happen. It's like some inside joke and fate decides to let it play out. I mean fate decides who lives and who dies..where people spend the rest of eternity on earth. Who would have thought this would happen? That this would've been the outcome? Who? Tell me that. And the answer is nobody. Nobody knows what'll happen next unless you could see the future, but I'll tell you right now...none of this is about them. It's about her and him. Two people that barely know each other. The slapping leech lover and the violent shapeshifter.
Except that's where their stories ended. She forgot about the vampires and ran with the wolves so to speak. He couldn't give two fucks but he'd give respect where given and while this fate fulfilling tale is about them..it's also about a pretty little bank and a crazy gunman, then a joy ride that nobody knows for sure if these two will even make it out alive. Need some popcorn? Maybe a soda? Get comfy ...welcome to Robbery...
Chapter 1: The Bank
"Next. Next. Please step aside sir. Next." The guard's voice drones on and Paul couldn't wait to just go home. He was in the PA bank making a quick transaction. "So if you will just sign here." A perfectly shaped manicured fingernail pointed to the dotted line. Grabbing the pen, Paul signed his name. Handing it back to the woman behind the window, he smiled back politely. "Here." She smiled in return and the woman told him a quick goodbye and he was already walking away.
"Next!" He drowned out the calls and headed for the restroom before he took off. He walked in and went to the urinal and proceeded to do his business. He quickly glanced at the man next to him as he felt eyes watching him. "What?" He snapped. Who looks at another guy while pissing? "Nothing..I'm sorry. I was just amazed at how big you are. Please don't take that as I'm a gay man whose hitting on you. I just wish I had the package."
Paul gave a confused thanks, washed his hands and left. Walking out he smiled as he was finallly heading towards the entrance doors and from there..home. But he wouldn't be going home..
"Everybody get down!" Shots rang out so fast which hit the ceiling. People screamed and Paul looked around to see a man. He looked like the man in the restroom but different. Paul sized him up. He could take him. People wouldn't question his speed. Everyone is blinded by so much fear they won't pay attention to too much detail.
He slowly got down like everyone else but tensed ready to spring until the gunman pulled a woman who was next to the glass door that led to the tellers. He grasped her hair and she gave a scream. Everyone was quiet and shuddering at who would be next. Paul growled in frustration. He didn't want the woman to get hurt.
"Open the door!" He screamed in her ear and with shaking hands she lifted the keys and unlocked the door with a soft click. He seemed to ask her something Paul couldn't even make out. She shook her head no. "You better not be lying or I'll shoot you dead right here." The woman nodded, still shaking. He pushed her to the ground and Paul finally saw her face and fuck him side ways. Bella fucking Swan.
He remembered Jake talking about her new job at the bank. Her being there made it that much more important to stop the gunman. He inched over to Bella as the entrance and tellers station weren't that far apart.
"Bella." He whispered. He laid a hand on her shoulder. She looked up and with a soft gasp hugged him tightly. "Oh thank god. A familiar face." He pushed her away a little to check her for injuries.
"You have a cut." He dabbed at it with his fingers. "Yeah..Paul you need to go back. He'll know you weren't here." He shook his head. "I'm staying. No buts."
His sensitive ears picked up heavy feet and seconds later the gunman came back out looking hot and angry. "There's a code! What's the code? Who the fuck are you?" He alternated the gun between Bella and Paul. Paul held up his hands slowly, "I'm just making sure she's okay."
"Bullshit. You two come with me. I need someone strong to open the vault when the code is entered."
After a few seconds, he pulled Bella by the hair and held the gun in Paul's face. "Let's go!"
"I don't know! I just started working here." Bella whimpered out as tears ran down her face. Her hands grasped Paul's tightly. The gunman paced in front of them and started muttering to himself. "She says she doesn't know!" Bella gave a shriek as his sudden booming voice. The gunman was screaming to himself. "She's lying!" He hissed out. The gunman turned towards them again and waved the gun about. "You find somebody that knows the code. You man. Do as I say and I won't put a bullet between those pretty eyes." Paul growled lowly. Even if he moved fast enough, a trigger is faster.
Paul stood slowly and Bella grasped his hand tightly. "No..don't leave me please." She cried. Paul swatted down to her eye level and wiped a tear from her face. "I'll be back. Do as he says." He pried Bella's fingers away and slowly walked across the hall to the other tellers. He looked at the women and men who were huddled against each other. He scoped out a man with a tie. Manager, was his name tag. "What's the code to the vault?" The manager sat up shakily. "It's 527864." Paul immediately walked back to the storage room while also taking inventory of entrances and exits. "The code is 527864." The gunman sighed happily and with a crazed look in his eyes, he motioned for Bella to get up. He wrapped his arm around her neck and pointed the gun at her temple. "Open it." Paul growled again. Bella was his bargaining chip at this point.
He walked over to the wall and flipped the keypad open. He entered the code and a little light flicked green. The big steel door opened up with a quiet hiss. Another door presented itself and the lock to the vault with a manual turn knob. Even with his heightened strength, the door was still a struggle. The metal squealed and squeaked as Paul kept turning until he could turn no more. He opened the door and before he could take a look, Bella was shoved against his body. He staggered a little, but caught her and pulled her against his chest. "Shh. It's over." He ran his hands through her hair and Bella jumped once again at the gunman's voice. "No! NO! NO! It's not here! This is all you have?!" The man came out once again and shoved a box in her hand. "There's only 10 of those and a grand each! What bank keeps 10 grand?! On your name tag, you have access to every bank in the city. You're coming with me. I came for 5 million dollars and you're going to get it for me." He snatched Bella by the hair and Paul growled. He sprung ready to take the gunman out, but a sharp pain to the head had him falling towards the floor. His name, screamed from Bella's lips was the last thing he heard. Another voice barely registered his ears. "Bring him too."
A man in a mask laughed and pulled Paul out of the back door while the other hauled a screaming Bella to a black SUV. They were both thrown in the back and the gunman tied thick rope around her hands and Paul's feet. "This fucker was heavy. Tie his hands too." Soon Bella was accompanied by pitch black and the soft breathing of Paul.
"Paul?" She cried sniffing. "Paul get up." She tried nudging him with her head and Paul jerked up and looked around, his eyes easily adjusting to the darkness. "Where are we?" He asked. "In the back of a van. There was two of them." A large boom was heard in the distance and Bella jumped. "What was that?" Paul shifted and sat up the best he could. "I don't know. Are you alright? I tried to get to him, but you were in the way and I didn't want you to get hurt." Bella nodded, forgetting he might not see her that well. "I'm fine. I can't believe this is happening." Paul tried wriggling his hands free, but even that proved difficult. "God, how tight did they tie this?" Bella tried feeling around. "I don't know. They're taking us to another bank, but that's the thing, there is only one more bank in the city and I know it wont have close to 1 million." Paul cursed and tried kicking at the door. "Dammit! Just..I don't know what to do. I might can heal, but I've never been shot. Everything will be okay." He felt Bella's head on his shoulder and tried offering as much comfort as possible. Jesus. He couldn't catch a break.
Charlie spit out the water he was drinking as he looked at the news. It was currently his day off and he was expecting Bella soon. "Port Angeles bank has been robbed earlier this afternoon. From the security footage, there was a gunman who has seemed to take two people into the back room. A man and a woman. Upon reviewing the footage a second time, there seemed to be an accomplice and now these two have taken two hostages." A picture was shown of the two robbers, one with a mask and one without. They next showed a picture of the two hostages and Charlie almost had a heart attack. Bella and Paul were seen. Paul was knocked out, while Bella was held at gunpoint. "Oh my god." He stood ready to grab his uniform when the news reporter spoke again. "The back of the bank was bombed, but fortunately, there were survivors. If you see this van please call 911 immediately." Charlie switched the tv off and grabbed his gun. "Forget the uniform, my baby's in trouble."
"They know what our van looks like Tommy." Tommy looked over at his kid brother. "We'll find another way." His brother looked at him again and then out the window. "What about the girl and the guy?" Tommy turned down a street sharply. "We have them already. It's too late. We need a new ride." Tommy smirked spotting a car dealership.
He stopped the van and after telling his brother to stay inside, he quickly jogged across the street, removing his face mask as he went. He walked onto the grounds and looked for something bug, but nothing flashy. He spotted a Honda Pilot, which was black and smiled. This was the perfect size. The girl wasn't so big, but the man..he was huge. He approached the car and looked around and inside the car. Spotting no salesmen, he quickly broke the window and opened the door. The alarm blared and Tommy knew he had to work fast. Busting the compartment under the steering wheel, he removed the wires, thus creating silence. He then took the red and yellow wire and twisted. "There we go baby." The tires skidded against the concrete and Tommy sped through the flags and onto the road. By the time anyone could catch up, he was already down the street. He turned off the side of the road and his black SUV sat with his brother Jimmy and the girl. "What the fuck is he doing?" Tommy hopped out and marched toward the pair. "Jimmy, what are you doing? You were supposed to wait until I got back." Jimmy shrunk backwards while the girl stayed still looking at them both with wide eyes. "She wouldn't stop screaming she had to pee Tommy. I didn't want anyone to hear." Jimmy was like a child. Their parents died when they were really young. Tommy took on a role as a parent. For years, the two wandered the streets until drug lords took them in as a favor and one day the brothers would have to pay back that favor. Today was that day. Drug lord Damien, a large white guy with crazy green eyes, wants 5 million dollars and they have until tomorrow night to get it. If they do that, he would get them passports to Costa Rica so they could live freely.
"Take her not too far from here." He walked to the girl and grabbed her face with his hand. "Try something and you'll regret it." He let her face go and watched as Jimmy took her behind a few trees. He looked towards the man. "We didn't mean to take you, but you were in the way. What's your names anyway? You know ours...it's only fair." The man glared. "Paul. The girl's is Bella. You do understand that there is only one more bank in this city and it won't get you anywhere near 5 million right?" Tommy growled and walked up to Paul. "Liar." He hissed. "No. Port Angeles is a small city. Not that much money is needed." Tommy yelled and hit the door. "We'll see." He looked back towards Paul. "You're already here and I don't have time to just let you go. You know what we look like and what we're driving. I can't afford to let you two go now." Paul sneered at him and bared his teeth. Paul would phase but about a year ago, right after Bella slapped him actually, he asked Sam to alpha order him not to phase around humans. Sam told him he never knew what could happen, but warned him and now it's biting him in the ass.
"Ow! You dumb bitch!" Tommy looked up as Jimmy was sporting a black eye and a cut on his forehead. Paul leaned up to get a good look at what was going on. "What happened?" Tommy snapped and Paul moved around as best as he could. "She hit me!" Bella glared at Jimmy and shimmied away from him towards the SUV as Tommy was giving her an icy glare. "Were you trying to escape?" He towered over her and Paul, even with his hands tied, grasped Bella's shirt pulling her in next to him. "No. You partner tried touching my vagina and ass!" She snapped and Tommy turned his glare on Jimmy. He raised his hand and slapped Jimmy upside the head.
"What have I told you about that shit? You can't just go touching people!" Jimmy looked down and twisted his foot in the dirt like a little kid getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar. "But it was shiny and pink..." Paul really couldn't believe his ears. Just how far did the creep look? Shiny? What the hell does he mean by- oh. He also couldn't believe he was hearing about Bella's vagina and ass. He shook his head to clear those thoughts.
"Get in the damn truck. Take the girl back there. I've got the guy." Jimmy grabbed Bella by the arm and Tommy helped Paul out. Paul could feel the cool metal of the gun against his neck. Tommy bent down and cut the rope from Paul's feet. "You run or try some shit, that bitch is dead." Paul walked towards the black Honda and was pushed inside the trunk with Bella pushed in next. They kept the seats up except the last row for a bit more room. Bella laid on her back and looked over at Paul. "Are you okay?" She asked. Paul nodded. "I don't know what's going to happen. I do know that they are not done with us yet Bella. I would phase but I made Sam alpha order me. After you slapped me, I feared of another Emily fiasco, so I asked him to order me not to phase in front of humans. I could take them but there are guns and anything could happen. Stay by me and we'll be okay." Bella nodded and looked at the window of the passing scenery. "As fucked up as this sounds, I'm glad I'm not alone in this. Just surprised you got stuck with the leech lover." She chuckled.
Paul snorted. "Yeah, me too. I don't hate you Bella. I just...you were willingly choosing to be with them." Bella looked at Paul as he stared at her as if he couldn't figure out why. "Yes, but I've chosen to spend time with the pack too. What's the difference? Neither of you are human. You both have an equal chance of hurting a human, and yet here I am. I don't see you as wolves and I didn't see The Cullen's as vampires. They were people who did things differently. I was in love and if I had the chance of spending forever with someone, I would. Many people die before they even meet their soul mate or anyone worth loving. Why should I? I don't see what you are, I see who you are." Paul hummed and chuckled. "Well you sure made things different with that statement." Bella laughed softly despite the circumstances. "Yeah...Paul?" He looked down at her with a raised eyebrow. "If I die, could you do me a favor?" Paul narrowed his eyes. "What?" Bella turned and sat up against the seat next to him. "Kill these sons a bitches will you?" Paul couldn't help but laugh loudly which caused Tommy to glance in their direction. "Of course." Bella laid her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. "Thanks.." Paul looked down at Bella and smiled.
Tommy looked at the two and shook his head. "These people are crazy." Jimmy looked back too. "Like me?" Tommy looked over at Jimmy with sad eyes. "Never like you Jimmy. Get some sleep." Jimmy laid his head on the window and was sleep in seconds.
