My eyes were still closed but the sun was making the inside of my eyes red, I was confused. I opened my eyes and met a blue 'ceiling' with a sun shining overhead and green trees in the corners of my eyes. A scream bubbled up my throat before I realized where I was, but it was too late. My scream echoed through the millions of trees and ancient caves, reminding me I was all alone, sending shivers. Thank god it was still partially summertime and the shivers weren't from the cold. I lay my head back on the pillow and let the memories of last night pour back into my mind. I desperately wanted to go back to sleep and travel back to a safe time, but fear kept me awake. I sighed and got up getting my compass at the same time. I began my journey for the day. I walked another 3 miles before stopping for lunch and that's when I heard it. A stream, I had quickly finished my bottle of water in the morning and was thirsting for more. I had planned to stop at a store later in the day but quickly realized I couldn't wait much longer. I speed walked to the clearing ahead and unpacked my bag, looking for the filter. I found my target and dropped my head low for the source of water, quenching my thirst. It wasn't until I had drank at least the amount of a bottle of water that I realized that I could hear shouts coming from behind the trees near my current position. I froze and decided in a split second to repack my bags and discover the noise. This deep in the forest, at least 10 miles in, it was shocking to hear anything. I repacked and silently, slowly, walked toward the clearing to hide behind a huge boulder, the leaves threatened to crunch under me but I tiptoed on spots with only fertile soil.
"Where is she? Did you find her?" My eyes widened, that was, undeniably, the voice of James. Of course! It all made sense now! This was the actually area where that ancient civilization had found the rock! I should have known! I bit my lip and read my situation. I gulped and decided to hide about 100 yards away in a hidden area from them. As soon as I arrived to my destination I sat down and grabbed at the camera tracker.
The subject had moved on, "Well, the guy is fighting like crazy, givin' me a hard time I tell you!" It sounded like some guard or something but I decided to listen hard, thankful that I had put the camera tracker on Jacob's jacket, I turned the volume louder.
"Would you like me to talk to him?" Jacob! What was wrong with his voice?!? He sounded….well rough and…evil. The camera was partially covered by his jacket but I could still make everything out and what I saw next made me take a retake but also squeal in joy. I saw Edward! And he was alive! I noticed him fighting, trying hard to get out. Jacob walked up to him and did something to him out of my camera's view, but I did notice Edward's reaction and it made me feel the pain; Edward was doubled over in pain but Jacob was LAUGHING! I moaned, Edward in pain was too much for me to take, in the 5 years I have known Edward I have never, not once, seen him in pain, he was always the strong one. That's when I actually observed Edward, he was covered in bruises and blood, and it looked like they hadn't fed him in forever. I gasped realizing that somehow, no matter what, I was going to get Edward out of there, even if it meant risking my life in the process.
"Edward you might as well give up, no one knows you're here except for us and some bodyguards. Bella is somewhere out there and lost, which wouldn't have happened if you had just told us where the Stone of Amber was! We're deep in the forest, there's no way for you to be found so just give up! Just tell us where the stone is and you won't be hurt!" Jacob screamed angrily.
"No," Edward said stubbornly. I smiled, that was the Edward I knew, always thinking about our protection first. But it was time that I protected him. I turned off the webcam for now and tried to think of a plan.
Well, I should probably see the stone first, I thought sarcastically. Since I had gotten it, I hadn't bothered to look at it even once. I got on all fours and grabbed my backpack. I took out red, velvet pouch that was closed with a golden colored rope. I untied it carefully and slowly took out the stone that had ruined my life, but as soon as I saw it, I realized why everyone wanted it so much. The stone was not Amber really but more of a blood red crimson, it was shining like a diamond and you could clearly see the jewels sparkling inside of it. I gasped, no wonder everyone wanted it, and I could now actually believe how it could make you a millionaire or more. But what kind of monstrous people would want to ruin the stone for the jewels and money! Jacob and James, I answered bitterly. Well, how do I save him? I remained quiet to make myself think hard. OK, so I noticed a key hanging right next to Edward's little cell, if I could get that without anyone realizing, then we could make it! If we get caught, well I don't really know what we'll do then but we'll figure something out. I smiled at the use of we're. I got up from my spot and repacked, only leaving the stone in a secret pocket in the inside of my jacket this time, and made my way back. Before long I was back at the stream peering from behind the trees. OK, so in the camera Jacob was making his way to that building, it said JAIL and was compiled of fading white and blue paint. The clearing in front of me was empty but I made sure to check the doors and areas behind the buildings from my spot, I also checked for cameras. No one was there and they didn't have any cameras, which was unusual but I guess they highly doubted anyone would find their spot this deep in the forest. I slipped through the forest till I was right behind the JAIL building. I hid behind the building and kept checking from the corners whether people were there, when I was 100% sure I checked the back to see a way of getting in. If I went in from the front I was definitely going too caught. Yes! I fist pumped, there was a small window that was big enough to fit me and was only a little over my head. I looked for something that I could push my foot off, I noticed a little brick coming out and I used that as a step to check the window's room. When I peered in, it was a jail cell that was empty, but I could see that the door was open and no one was in front of it, meaning that the building was actually empty! Yay my lucky day! But the window was locked so I stepped down, grabbed a rock, and slowly broke the window as to mot make any sound. The windows sides were jagged but I made it without bleeding much. As soon as I was in I checked my environment again, I noticed a colorful flyer on a desk and I slowly made my way. The neon green looking flyer stated that there was going to be a meeting in the big building two buildings next to us. No wonder no one was here! Anyways, time to get to the point. I checked the jail cells to my right, left, and front but no one was there. However, as I took a turn in the building I started hearing some noise, more specifically Edward. I ran to the cell, my eyes threatening to burst with tears, and came face to face to…
