A/N; Please R+R. Charlie isn't Bella's dad, but the warden of this discipline camp. Phil is the councillor, but everyone calls him mom. All human.
I hadn't meant to get sent to Camp Green Lake, but I was a grifter that got caught, and I had to pay the price.
No-one would miss me. I hadn't been very sociable or trustworthy. When the Judge had offered me a choice, I'd thought about all the bitchy girls in Prison, especially one of them, and made my choice. I had muscles and liked the outside, so this would be better no doubt.
After the long, uncomfortable bus journey, I stepped out into the sun. I almost climbed back in. The sun was a slap on the face. And what's more, there was no water! I sighed and followed the guard. He led me to a small hut. I was so thirsty, and started coughing. It was a dry cough and I looked pleadingly at the guard who sighed and handed me a bottle of water. I drank some gladly before handing it back. We continued our walk.
When we got there, I was made to strip. I caught the guard checking me out and glared at him. He dropped his gaze to the floor. Though I didn't want to, I dared myself to. Something about me is I will never turn down a dare, no matter how bizarre, I always do it. I never back down. When the guy told me to call him 'Charlie'. Charlie asked what size of clothes I was.
"Two," I lied. I was a four, but I wanted to do it, just for the hell of it. It would teach me for getting caught.
He hand me some hideous clothes with strict instructions about them. I was barely listening. He looked about done when he said,
"This aint the Girl Scouts," I nodded. He handed me a canteen and I took it gladly. When he told me I could run away, I didn't express anything. I could tell why that was. There was nothing here.
"Right, seeing as it's only seven o'clock, you can start digging," he said, turning to the door.
"Sorry," I said, "Digging?" he sighed and explained it all to me. Great, digging. Oh well, I wouldn't complain. Yet.
When he handed me a shovel from the shed, I took it and said nothing. A small truck came passed them and Charlie barked some orders at the man driving.
"You're being assigned to tent D," he huffed, "Good- luck," and with that he left.
"You must be Bella," the new man said, "Climb in," I climbed in next to this man and he drove towards a row of tents. I hopped into mine and threw my stuff down on my bed. Including some of the stuff I had nicked from Charlie's office. When I climbed back into the truck the man introduced himself as Phil. I listened as he explained the rules of the holes.
I stepped out of the truck, to be faced with a group of boys.
"What's this, Mom," the cutest one said, looking me up and down. He had bronzed hair, and was absolutely gorgeous. But I wouldn't be distracted. There was a task in hand.
"New arrival," Phil said. He pointed to a bit of ground and filled up all of our canteens. Luckily he didn't see my bulging pockets. Once he'd driven off, I turned around and spilled the goodies. Everyone's face lit up when they saw the soda and crisps. We all took a bottle and a packet. There was exactly enough. We got on with their holes whilst we ate and drank.
When I saw the truck coming again, I shoved the packets and bottles in the big pile of dirt beside me. I lined up, at the bottom, but not for long. We got our canteens re-filled again, and the truck was gone. When it was gone I was faced with questions. They came from the cute one, the leader I sussed in a minute.
"What you in for?" he asked.
"I'm a grifter," I said.
"Not a very good one," someone else muttered.
"Actually, this is the second time I've been caught in ten years," I said calmly.
"How old are you?"
"Twenty two,"
"You've been grifting since you were twelve?"
I nodded, "I had to, difficult childhood," there was a silence, and then the cute one said,
"I'm Edward," he said, "And you are..."
"Bella," I said. He nodded and went back to his hole. I did the same. I finished before anyone else, and went back to the tent. Phil came in and explained about showers. I jumped up and ran into the 'shower room'. Though the water was cold, it was nice. I had learned how to have quick showers when I had lived in a rough patch.
I stepped out into the wreck room to find it empty. I sighed and sat on the sofa. I closed my eyes and let my mind drift to think about scam plans and etc. I didn't hear Edward come in until he sat next to me. I stiffened when a body dropped beside me.
"So what's grifting like?" he asked. I instantly had my guard up. The tone of his voice showed he was more interested in my than grifting. I had been called pretty and beautiful before, and knew what he wanted. With my soft curls, just-longer-than-shoulder-length dark brown hair, clear skin, hot figure and brown eyes, I had always been a hit with the men.
"It's profitable," I said shrugging.
"How'd you get caught?" he said, playing with my hair. I moved my head and it fell out of his hands.
"Working with a traitor," I said. How had I not seen that he was reporting? Well, too late now, I was here and he was there. Edward settled back into the sofa.
"Who in their right mind would betray you?" he muttered. I felt uneasy.
"Many have tried," I said, "But I'm a good grifter," he nodded. I could tell he didn't believe me, "They call me the invisible woman," I said and his eyes widened.
"You are the invisible woman?" he said. I nodded, feeling stupid for giving away such a valuable secret. My pride always got in the way of things.
"But, please, don't tell anyone," I begged, "I can't be found," he nodded slowly, then grinned,
"What do I get out of this?" I sucked in my breath,
"How about your life?" I hissed. He mocked horror,
"Was that a threat?" he flashed me a smirk before saying, "I might just have to report that!" I growled and he grinned, "I'd like to make you make that noise again," he whispered. I recoiled and groaned, what had I got myself into? "And that noise," he breathed against my face. I looked up and said,
"I'll give you a kiss, but no more," he smirked and leant forward, lips puckered. I gathered my breath and pressed my lips to his. He started moving his lips immediately. There was no spark for me, but for him it was perfect. He tried to open my mouth, but I refused to. He got angry and bit my lip. I gasped and he used it as an opportunity. I felt his tongue slip in my mouth, and felt sick. I struggled, but he'd pinned my arms to my sides. I did what my instincts told me and went limp. I didn't react to anything. His kiss got more and more urgent, but I didn't respond. Finally he gave up and leant back. I let my breath out and also sat back. He flung his arm around my shoulders.
"I don't know if that was enough, babe," he whispered in my ear. I stiffened as his hand trailed down my spine.
"Edward," I warned, "Don't touch me," he looked at me.
"But, I know your secret," he whispered.
"And I might just have to make you forget," I hissed. He laughed and said,
"Some mind blowing sex might help," I shook my head fiercely
"The sex would be mind blowing," I said, "Shame you'll never get any," he scowled.
"I wonder where Warden is," he muttered quietly. I didn't say anything, sure he was bluffing. He stood up and his joints cracked.
"Wait," I pleaded, I wasn't taking any chances.
"Yes," he said, turning to face me.
"Once?" he smirked when I spoke, "And it leads to nothing," I looked at him. Eugh, was I actually begging him?
"Sure," he said, "How about now?" I gasped,
"Now?" I said, "Anyone could walk in!"
He frowned, "Not if I tell them not to," I shrugged. It made no difference to me wither someone walked in or not, I had just been stalling.
"Whatever," I mumbled and he jogged out of the room. I put my head in my hands. Edward was back quicker than I'd expected.
"Mom says they're not even nearly halfway done," he said to me, taking my hand, "They'll be at least another four hours," he pulled me up, and I landed on his chest. Obviously this was where he wanted me, "I hope you enjoy yourself," he murmured into my hair. The message was clear, you'd better enjoy yourself. I nodded and continued to walk backwards.
When we got to the room with the beds, we went to his. Mine was still covered in stuff. His bed was at the very end, the furthest away from mine. I relaxed a bit, tonight wouldn't be a problem. He kissed the top of my head. I was a few inches smaller than him. I had always been small, I stood at 4" 9', he was 5" 4'.
"Who's in the bed next to me?" I whispered against his chest.
"Emmet," he said in a hard voice.
I looked up at him, and he kissed my lips. Once again I didn't feel anything, but he did. The kiss made him hungry for more. He lifted me up by the shoulders I knew what he wanted. I wound my legs around his hips. He grunted and I felt something in his trousers move. I kissed him back, and he laid me on the bed. When he lay on top of me and kissed me more, I felt the clench in my stomach, which I usually got when I had to do a difficult part in a plan.
He started unbuttoning my boiler suit slowly. I faked a groan, and he smirked. Underneath my suit I wore provocative French underwear. He stifled a moan, and now it was my time to smirk.
"You're beautiful," he whispered, stroking my sides. I faked a shiver. He kissed my mouth and down my jawbone. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he kissed down my neck, onto my collarbone. He unclasped my bra and kissed my breasts. I gripped his neck tighter. He continued down my toned belly until he got to my thong. He removed it and came back up to my mouth.
He kissed me passionately and opened my legs. He slid inside me and I faked a gasp. He started pumping in and out of me. I faked gasps and moans in all the right places. When I felt he was near his climax, I faked an orgasm.
"Edward!" I called out, hating every minute of it.
"Bella," he gasped. We lay like that for a while, until I sat up, "Baby? What's wrong?"
"Shhhh," I whispered, "Someone's coming," I leaped out of bed and was dressed before he could blink.
"...Bella," someone called again. I went running towards the sound, leaving Edward picking up his clothes behind me. I found Phil calling me from the Wreck room, "There you are!" he said, bounding over to me, "Where have you been?" I shrugged.
"What is it?" I asked.
"We're having a counselling meeting," he said, gesturing forward.
"Are the others back yet?" I asked, not moving.
"No, I'm going to talk to you and your guide," he said, moving towards the wreck room. I moved too.
"My guide?"
"Edward. He didn't tell you?"
I shrugged, and went to sit on the couch. Phil sat on the chair across from me, which only left one seat for Edward...
"Hey, mom," Edward said at that moment. His voice made my skin crawl, and he dumped down next to me. Luckily he didn't touch me.
"Edward, where have you been?" Phil said. I tensed.
"Just wandering," he said, shrugging, and I relaxed.
"Well, I'll let you two to get on," and Phil stood up too leave. I pleaded at him with my eyes, and he laughed, "Don't worry, Bella, Edward won't bite," Edward laughed, and Phil left. I felt breathing on my neck.
"Well, I might not," he growled in my ear, "But you never know," I felt his teeth close down on my ear. I let out a yelp and jumped away from him.
"You said it led to nothing," I said, standing up.
"Actually," he said, grabbing my wrist and pulling me back down, "You said that,"
"Edward," I said, snatching my wrist back, "Don't. Touch. Me."
"Oh, baby," he whispered, playing with my hair, "You don't know me at all,"
I stood up sharply and left.
"HEY!" I heard him calling from behind me, "Come back!" but I didn't listen.
I didn't know where I was going. I just wandered around the camp. There was no shade. The only shade I could see was two Oak trees near a cabin. I started heading towards them, but recoiled when something touched my wrist again.
"Where are you going?" Edward said, leading me back.
"To the shade,"
"We're not allowed in the shade," he said. I pulled my hand out of his grip, and he sighed, "I'm just helping,"
"You're being too helpful," I muttered, to low for him to hear. He shot a confused look in my direction, but carried on walking away from the shade.
I don't know why I didn't tell him I felt dizzy. Pride probably. But one minute, I was walking with Edward, the next, darkness swamped me.
