Chapter 4

Michael apparently had been planning his escape for years and he was extremely observant. Bella saw where he kept tabs on the guard change and who would be the easiest to subdue. When he showed her his drawn out plan he'd had hidden in the vent she was impressed.

He had been moved around the sanitarium quite a few times and knew the layout really well. He knew from the nurse he had killed a few years back with a fork that there was an employee entrance that was used on this side of the building. She had been talking on a cell phone one day when she was cleaning his room and ask someone to meet her outside of it to smoke and he had never forgotten that.

Bella didn't really have anything to take with her but she put her mask he made in his back pack along with her wallet that she went and got from her room earlier that day. She folded up his blanket on the bed and slid it into the back pack in case they needed it. It was the day before Halloween and she knew it would be cold outside. Slipping into her tennis shoes she waited for him to make his move. He had been ready for hours and pulled a good sized pocket knife out of the vent as well. He told her he stole it off a guard a few years ago and no one ever knew where it went or that he had anything to do with it going missing.

Clicking it open he held it tightly in his hand as he watched and listened outside. He was counting the locks and the lights automatically shutting off and he knew the shift change had happened.

Opening the door slowly there was a new young guard walking back and forth between the few doors in that hallway now that Rodriguez was dead. Michael moved silently for his size and when the guard passed his room again he struck like a snake.

He latched out, grabbed the guard and dragged him into the room and stabbed him in the neck killing him in moments. Bella watched as he killed the man in front of her with no remorse. He was totally in his element and he made it look like an art form.

The old Bella would have been appalled at what she was seeing but the new Bella. The one post betrayal had no issues. She knew who Michael was to her and she knew he would never hurt her and that was enough for her. She was tired to being the good girl falling for the good guy that hadn't worked out for her in the past. Now she was the I don't give a fuck girl in love with the dangerous bad guy and she felt more alive watching him work then she had in as long as she could remember. And she knew she loved him. Loved him with a force that probably wasn't healthy but she could care less. She was addicted to him and knew he was her life now.

Moving forward she grabbed his gun, keys to the doors and car keys he had in his pocket along with the cash he had in his wallet and put it in her pocket keeping the door keys and gun in her hand. She shouldered the back pack before going to Micheal's side as he held his free hand out to her.

He had been watching to see how she would react to him killing someone in cold blood. Saving her was one thing but killing just to kill he didn't know how she would take that. If she had an issue with it he would keep it to a minimum from doing it in front of her if she wished but he was pleasantly surprised that she seemed to enjoy it. She didn't cringe and her eyes didn't widen in fear. She appeared to be very turned on by what she was seeing and Michael knew then she would never leave him no matter what. She was here to stay and nothing he did would make her run. She would stand at his side.

Gripping her hand tightly in his he peeked outside and down the hall and saw no one knew yet what he had done. Nodding to her he pulled her quickly down the hall and let her unlock the first door. The next stop was the guard booth. Bella waited outside as Michael walked in silently and saw two guards flipping through a playboy magazine and not paying any attention to the monitors. Stabbing the first the other gasp in fear and turned towards him but Michael was faster and stabbed him through the eye before he could grab his gun.

Bella ran in then and did the same as before. Stole their money, guns and keys before nodding to him. Looking at the monitors Bella ran over and threw the breaker to the building casting the whole sanitarium in darkness and shutting off the camera's. Michael gave a nod of approval. They made a good team.

Moving down the hall they hide in the darkness as nurses ran through the halls freaking out as they made their way towards the employee exit at the other end of the long hall. Michael sliced through two nurses that came close enough to see them before they moved back down the hall.

Bella unlocked the exit door before sliding outside and shutting it back. Turning they walked towards the parking lot as Bella dug out all the car keys and started hitting unlock buttons. Michael chose a small SUV with tented windows and Bella nodded as she slid into the driver's side knowing Michael didn't know how to drive.

Looking around the car Michael pulled out a Map from the glove box and opened it up as Bella pulled out of the parking lot and headed for the guard tower. The guard stopped them at the gate and Bella rolled the window down and smiled at the guard.

"Open the gate please." She said and the guard jumped back in alarm when he saw Michael sitting in the passenger seat with his mask on glaring through the eye holes. He reached for the alarm button on his radio and Bella sighed. Picked up one of the guns and pointed it out the window.

"Don't." she said and he raised his hands up in surrender.

"Alright. Easy now." he said.

"Open the gate. I won't ask again." she said and Michael felt his member twitch watching her. He was prepared to get out and kill him when the gate opened and Bella pulled the trigger shooting him in the head. Rolling the window up she sat the gun back in the cup holder before grabbing one of his hands and holding it tightly as she pulled off, no remorse for what she had to do and Michael smirked under his mask. She truly was the devil's bride.

They drove for over two hours before they came across a small thrift store and Michael pointed to the store. Nodding Bella pulled around back and shut off the car.

"We need to change." He told her and she nodded, grabbed the gun and followed Michael out. She shot the lock off the door as they slide inside. Bella stopped Michael when she saw the camera system in the store so she borrowed his bloody knife and popped open the fuse box and ripped all the cords out and Michael saw all the little red lights go off on the camera's and he smirked. She was incredibly intelligent.

Bella grabbed a couple duffel bags and handed one to Michael as they separated to find clothes. Bella changed quickly and filled the bag with enough clothes to last her for a while before moving around and picking up a few blankets, a few books she liked, she filled another bag up with the water from the drink cooler and all the snacks they had in the store. Michael met her towards the back and took the bags from her. Bella smirked when she saw him. He was wearing a new mask; it was a white face with fake short hair and covered all the way down his neck. He was also wearing jeans and a flannel shirt and boots but she could see a few mechanic style jump suits stuffed down in the bag along with all the flannel shirts and jeans he could find.

Walking back out Bella stopped when she saw a row of wigs and decided to grab one that was a dark red color before running back outside and jumping back into the car.

Michael tilted his head and pointed to the wig and she shrugged.

"Never know I might need a disguise." She said and he nodded as they pulled back off.

When Dr. Loomis was called and told there was a break out and several guards and nurses were killed he knew, he knew Michael had finally done it. It had enough of sitting behind the walls and he was out again and he knew he took Bella with him and knew Halloween would never be the same again. The boogeyman was out and there would be hell to pay to anyone that got in his way.

When Bella started yawning Michael knew they would need to stop. They were close enough to Haddonfield that they could take a break plus they needed to get rid of the stolen car.

"Drive down here." He said and she nodded and pulled off the road to a small dirt road and drove down by the river.

"We need to ditch the car." He told her and she agreed as she got out and unloaded all their bags as Michael pushed the car easily into the deep river. They watched it sink and disappears before Michael picked up most of the bags leaving Bella with the back pack as they walked down the road. About two miles down the road they came across a run down, cheap motel off the main road and Michael headed that direction.

"You sure you want to stop?" she ask and he gave a nod.

"We need to rest." He told her and she nodded as they walked up to the office.

"Wait. I'll go in and rent a room." She said sitting the back pack down and pulling her hair into a bun before sliding the red headed wig over her head and making sure it was on before putting on a ball cap she stole from the thrift store. Looking up at Michael he gave her a nod of approval as she smiled and headed inside.

There was an old lady behind the counter watching TV and filing her nails she didn't even look up at Bella when she walked in.

"One bed or two." The lady ask.

"One please." Bella said as the lady took a key off the hook and walked over, barley glancing at Bella as she did.

"50 a night and we have bagels in the morning." She said and Bella tossed her 50 before taking the key and walking out to where Michael was still waiting.

"Let's go." Bella said as Michael lead the way up the stairs to the top floor where there room was. Bella unlocked the door and flip the light on.

It wasn't much. Queen size bed, TV with antenna and a bath room but it was warm and they were free.

They took turns showering as Bella removed the wig and tossed it in the bag as Michael cleaned off his knife and washed the blood off his hands. Once they were both done Bella pulled the blankets down and tossed one of the extra's on the bed for more warmth before sliding in beside Michael and turning to face him as he sat on the side of the bed.

She wasn't sure what he was doing but when he reached up and removed the new mask from his face and sat it on the bed side table she was shocked. She'd never seen him take the mask off. She couldn't see his face yet as his back from still to her but his long dirty blonde hair fell down damp just passed his shoulders.

He was wearing a white tee shirt and sleep pants he'd picked up at the store as he ran his hands over his face. She knew it must feel very strange to be without it since he'd been wearing them for years and she waited to see what he planned to do.

When he turned towards her she sat up and was stunned.

"Damn. Your beautiful." She said as she looked at him. He apparently had shaved during his shower but he still had a little hair and goatee but he had a strong jaw and perfect nose. He was incredibly handsome and with the long hair and dark eyes Bella felt herself shiver in desire.

Michael sat still as she moved forward and ran her fingers over his face. He felt very naked without the mask on but he didn't want to wear it with Bella. He wanted to be completely free and he was pleased that she seemed to like the way he looked the same as he very much liked the way she looked as well.

Feeling her touch made desire course through him. He'd always hated touch but he craved hers and he closed his eyes when her hand cupped his cheek and ran her thumb over his lips.

"You know. I think I want to be the only one to see this beautiful face." She said and he nodded before grabbing her fingers on his cheek with his larger one and kissing her palm. Her breath caught in her throat before she leaned forward and placed a tentative kiss on his lips.

His body viable jerked when she kissed him and his eyes shot open, it was the first time he'd ever felt a kiss on the lips. She looked worried he didn't like it before he cupped her cheeks in both his hands and pulled her back and kissed her hard. She moaned as her hands gripped in his hair hard and she pulled herself closer to him as he wrapped one of his large arms around her waist and pulled her as close as he could.

He'd never felt desire for anyone before until he met Bella, never wanted to lay with anyone only kill but now it was like a flood gate had been opened and he wanted to crawl inside her and never leave.

He dominated her mouth and kissed her in a way she'd never been kissed before and it made her head spin and her body heat all over. God this man was dangerous and sexy and did things to her Edward and Jake could never do and she was hooked now. He was hers and no one was taking him from her.
