Finding Love in the England Asylum
Chapter 3: A Day Alone With Edward Cullen
Edward and I left the others at 9:39 to head over to the kitchen. We passed many halls and doors as I followed Edward. Also there were many watchmen, and they watched us pass but not daring to come close. The man I let go must have alerted the others about me. I smiled at this.
We soon made it to the kitchen, and Edward was right. There was a lot of space and stuff.
"What do they want us to make?" I asked him. He walked over to the fridge and pulled a not off of it.
"They want us to do an Italian based dinner tonight, and for lunch they want American style burgers." He read off the note. "So what do you want to start with?" He asked.
"Well if we're doing burgers then we need to start with the batter." Edward stared at me when I said that. "Just trust me, they'll love it. It's the burgers that Emmett told you about." He slowly nodded his head. "Now I need you to grab the hamburger from the fridge and put it in a bowl. Then start mashing it with your hands, I'll make the sauce while you do that." He nodded and pulled out two bowls. He handed one to me and walked over to the fridge. While he mashed the meat I turned my back top him and made the sauce. I don't even let my family see my recipes, they're my own and I will share them with my children, that is later on in my life.
I finished it and walked over to Edward. I poured the sauce over the meat and his hands. He looked hot while cooking with me. His muscles flexed every time he mashed the meat with his hands.
I broke from my daze and got back to work. "Hey Edward." He looked up from the meat, a small drop of sweat on his forehead. "Should we do both cheese and no cheese and cooked buns or not?" I asked. He nodded his head and went back to work.
"Are we not allowed to talk or something?" I whispered by his ear. He shivered; it must have been from the cold meat.
"Yes we can talk, but the sauce you put on this was just so wonderful and powerful, the smell just caught in my throat and I just couldn't talk. And if you hear.." He stopped talking and we heard footsteps coming from the hall. "Quick! Work on something!" He whispered desperately to me. I nodded and ran over to the stove, placed a few pans on it and began heating them up and spraying them.
"Well this is a new aroma; did you learn a new trick Eddie?" A cold voice said. I looked up form the stove to see a woman, dressed in black like the rest of them. She had curly strawberry blond hair. She looked beautiful, but I saw that was only a look to draw people in. She had the eyes of a killer.
"Well it's a good thing that you don't have anything but burgers to make, cuz I want to have some fun Eddie." She said. Edward looked scared of her. She pulled out her whip and I walked carefully toward him. Edward turned toward me and gave me a look as to stay put. I nodded, but I would only stay there so long. I turned slightly back to my cooking and listened to the woman.
"Now Eddie take off your shirt." I saw his back when he did; I had to hold back sobs. Whipping marks were all over his back, some looked still fresh. The woman uncoiled the whip and swung it at him. He screamed out in pain. She pulled back the whip for another whip, but I charged at her.
I threw her against the fridge and she dropped the whip. I grabbed her by her neck and pushed her down on the stove next to the fridge. She screamed as the stove burned her flesh on her back. After a while I pulled her from the stove and punched her right under the jaw, and even more tender spot that would hopefully give her brain damage. I dragged her body outside the room and cleaned up the blood. Then I turned to Edward.
I cried when I saw his back. This place was hell. Many of the marks on his back were reopened and bleeding quickly. I got a cloth and gently dabbed the blood of his back as he hunched over the counter, screaming quietly or groaning when the cold cloth touched his skin.
I ran around the kitchen until I found a first aid kit under the bar. I rubbed medicine all over his back, he flinched everytime I came to a cut. I then put the medicine away and wrapped the bandage all around his back and chest. The bandage went from the bottom of his back, just above the hipbone, to the top of his back, just below his shoulders. I helped him get his shirt back on and placed him in the chair next to the counter.
I made him a quick cup of tea to help him feel better and then went back to work on the burgers. We had enough meat and sauce to make about a hundred of them. I made them half-and-half, with cheese and without. I then made about six of my best recipes of dip and placed many different chips next to them and placed them in dishes on the table.
I walked back over to Edward. "Do we have to stay here?" I asked. He nodded his head. I kissed his check. I grabbed a few other chairs to make something like a couch for him to lie on. I took the cup from him and help him lie down. I sat down on the chair where his head laid and set it on my lap. I kept stroking his face and hair, little things to help sooth him. It seemed to work, he soon fell to sleep.
The door opened to the side of the kitchen, some other people that were being held here like us came in and looked at us. Gasping at the sight of us, then grabbing the snacks and walking out the door without a word.
I sat there a long time, just looking at Edward and sipping the tea I gave him. I finally got really bored after the first hour. I pulled out my dairy and recipe book and began to write in them. I wrote about my day in my diary, what happened to Edward, and how I think I'm in love with him. Then I pulled out my recipe book and write in a few other recipes I remembered. This book had all my best recipes in it that I came up with since I was really young.
The time soon passed and I finally noticed that all the food was gone that I made that I put on the counter. I saw that it was about 3:56 now and I had to start dinner. I found a pillow near me and placed Edward's head on it, then got up and began making dinner. I started with the spaghetti sauce with meatballs and sausage in it. It took about an hour to get it ready, then I started the pasta. While the two of them cooked, I started in on about six different pizzas. Each had its own different toppings on it. I quickly brought the pot that was almost as big as me, to the counter with the pasta now in it. I finished the pizzas and even made some garlic bread sticks, all done before six.
I walked over to Edward and shook him lightly on his arm. "Edward, when can we leave?" I asked him. He groaned and slowly opened his eyes.
"Once you make dinner, then we can leave." He whispered in pain.
"Then let's go Edward. I finished dinner and it's already to go. You've been asleep for a few hours now. Come on, I'll help you get back to our rooms." I said. He nodded and slow rose to his feet. He leaned on me the whole way as we walked back.
After walking for about an hour we walked down our hallway and into his room. I helped him get on the bed and sat his head back in my lap. The others would be back soon with food for us, Em and Alice promised me they'd bring us back some.
I think I fell asleep, cuz the next thing I knew, I heard a scream. I raised my head and saw Alice in the doorway, Jasper at her side looking Edward up and down. She ran over to us and rubbed his face. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Alice. He tensed. I ran a hand through his bronze hair and he calmed.
"What happened?" She demanded in a whisper. Everyone was now inside the room and all around us.
"A woman." I whispered back to her. "Strawberry blond clad in black and carried a whip, I don't know her name, but she whipped him, and it's not the first time either. He had many more on his back before she hit him. I hope I killed her." The last part was more for only me to hear but K-lynn and Emmett heard it.
"Bella, what did you do to her?" Emmett asked quietly.
I looked at him with daggers. "Oh nothing Em, I just burned her back so that she'll probably be paralyzed and punched her jaw so hard its going to give her brain damage." I said as the tears weld up. I looked back down at Edward's still body and his head on my lap.
"I'll be ok." I heard Edward whisper. His eyes were open, facing me. "And thank you Bella, I've never been able to do what you did, stand up to her and hurt her beyond repair." I heard him gulp and he motioned me to lean by his lips. I placed my ear next to them.
"I've only know you a day, and yet I have fallen for you Isabella Swan. I love you; I just hope you can love me back." He whispered in my ear.
I felt the tears fall from my eyes when he said that. I was filled with joy that he love me! I placed my lips by his ear and whisper to him. "I love you too, Edward Cullen." He smiled at this and a tear slid down the side of his face.
"Bells, will you sing us a song to give us some hope here?" Emmett asked. I nodded and picked one that I thought would work.
Reach by Caleigh Peters
Sometimes it seams like your falling
Falling out of the sky
Sometimes it feels like you slipping
And running out of time
And that's when
You've gotta throw it all away
All other thing that people say
All of the doubts that fill your mind
Don't belong there
What ever you do
You'll never be wrong
As long as you reach for it
When you reach for it
Nothings to far
And it's never to long
As long as you reach for it
You can dream on it
Everywhere, it's there
Sometimes
I can be stupid
I can be out of line
But most times
You know what I'm doing
It's not like some big surprise
Oh and I
I just want to make you understand
That failing on me isn't in my plans
And all of the doubts that fill my mind
Don't belong there
What ever you do
You'll never be wrong
As long as you reach for it
When you reach for it
Nothings to far
And it's never to long
As long as you reach for it
You can dream on it
Everywhere
There's so much distance
Between what you want and what you got
But if you really want it
It's your life
So you gotta try
You gotta fly
What ever you do
You'll never be wrong
When you reach for it
When you reach for it!
You can dream on it
Everywhere
Everywhere
What ever you do
You'll never be wrong
As long as you reach for it
When you reach for it
Nothings to far
And it's never to long
As long as you reach for it
You can dream on it
Everywhere
I looked around to see everyone had fallen asleep but K-lynn. "The woman's name was Tanya Denali. I knew about the marks, but Edward wanted me to keep quiet about it so it wouldn't upset Alice. But I never knew it had gotten this bad. I thought it had stopped." She whispered to me.
"Do you think we can escape from this hell?" I whispered to her.
She nodded her head. "We'll find a way Bells, just keep us going and we'll get out of here before you know it." Those where her final words before she and I drifted to sleep.
