Chapter 7: Are We There Yet?

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Braden said, appearing over me. I had two options—jump and run, or give up.

And with that I let go of the ledge.

I heard a furious growl as I fell from the 40th floor. I reached my hand out, trailing it along the side of the building lightly as the ground grew closer. On the last floor, I grabbed onto the ledge that was there, and silently dropped to the sidewalk. I was still invisible, so I took off running down the street as fast as I could. I darted around people walking on the sidewalk and jumped over cars flying through the busy streets. It was no longer night time, so the bright sun shone over the land and glinted off the sides of buildings. I smiled to myself at the thought that they couldn't run at vampire speed directly after me, because they couldn't turn invisible. Heh heh....

I ran to the edge of the and into the forest. My invisible shield fell as I darted through the trees. Once they broke into the forest they would catch up to me in no time. I wasn't nearly as fast as them.

Then I felt pain as something rammed me from the side, throwing me into a huge oak tree. I looked up at a furious looking Damon. His hands were on my waist, keeping my body close to him. I growled at him.

"You have created quit a problem." Damon growled in my ear.

"Well maybe you should let me go." I snarled at him.

"I don't think so. As our rules state, you deserve a punishment. But I think I have a different punishment in mind...." he said grinning. I hissed, and he pulled me to my feet, just as Jimmy, Audrey, and Braden showed up. Audrey tackled me, and pushed me up against the huge tree again, her hand at my throat.

"You silly little girl." She sneered, her face inches from mine. I had had it with this girl. Brought my foot up between us, and kicked her square in the chest, and sent her flying through the forest and crashing into a huge red wood tree, sending the whole thing tumbling towards the earth. Damon stared at me curiously, until his face set with determination.

"You will learn how to fight now." Damon said. "Audrey?" he called and she stumbled over to him with dirt and leaves in her hair. I smirked, and she hissed at me. Audrey took a fighting crouch in front of me, staring me down.

"I won't fight." I told them firmly.

"If you don't fight, Bella, you'll die." Damon said, and they stepped back as Audrey prepared to pounce on me. "Don't use your power yet." Damon added. I took my fighting stance, and then Audrey lunged at me.

I had never learned how to fight. Actually, I have never even fought before. I have never had a need to. So, it was easy to say that I didn't make the wisest choices as I immediately lunged for her throat.

She surprised me as she ducked, and I flew over her. As I was passing over her, she grabbed me by the ankle, and threw me back into the huge tree. The tree uprooted from the ground and toppled over, sending me with it. Audrey's high pitched laughter filled the forest and echoed off the trees as I lifted the tree up and came out from under it. Audrey took her stance again as a ferocious growl erupted from my chest.

"Don't go for the easy kill, Bella. That is predicted and what is expected of newborns....which, you are not." Damon said from the sidelines. Audrey side-stepped around me, with me mimicking her movements. She sprang, but didn't go directly for me. She appeared behind me, and raising her hand, about to hit me in the back, when I quickly spun around and grabbed her wrist and twisted around so I was in back of her. I held onto her wrist as I brought my foot up and kicked her in the middle of the back, sending her flying into a tree. The movement happened in all of 2 seconds.

While she was still down, I appeared next to her, grabbing her by the neck, and tossed her into a huge rock. She quickly composed herself, and charged at me. She jumped on me, taking me in a head lock. She was standing while I was bent over in her stone grip. I struggled against her hold, but it only tightened. She flipped me forward, and I landed on the cold forest floor on my back. She towered over me, and pressed her foot to my throat, cutting off my vocal and wind pipe. I struggled against her foot, but she pressed harder, and pain seared through my stone skin.

"Remember, Bella, one of her legs is vulnerable." Damon said. My eyes snapped over to Audrey's other leg, and she realized at the same time I did. My free hand snatched her ankle, and twisted it to the right, sending her falling to the ground. Now I was over her, and brought my teeth to her neck.

Braden pulled me off of Audrey before my teeth made contact. Damon's smirk was pronounced as his dark voice rang through the silent forest.

"Well done."

Edward's POV:

3 hours. We have been sitting in this damn plane for 3 hours. 3 hours lost on hope of finding Bella. 3 hours of impatience of waiting here while Bella could be in pain. 3 hours of these humans and their thoughts. 3 hours of MITCHELL.

"Girls just wanna have fuuuuuun!" Mitchell continued to sing in an off-tone. I didn't even know vampires could sing that bad....

"MITCHELL!" I snapped, and he stopped.

"The plane is now ready for takeoff. Will everyone please return to their seats and prepare for takeoff." The captain's voice said over the intercom.

"WOOOOOOOOO!" Mitchell yelled. Rather loudly, I might add. The plane made it into the air, and we were finally headed towards New York. "Edward, move your damn arm." Mitchell snapped, looking pointedly at my arm that was on the arms rest in between us. I smiled smugly.

"No." I said, and he frowned. He shoved my arm off of the arm rest, replacing it with his own. He grinned at me, smugness radiating off of him. I hit him in the back of the head.

"Owww!" he grumbled, moving his arm to rub the back of his head. I took the opportunity to put my arm back on the arm rest.

"HA!" I said, triumphantly. Mitchell growled as he attempted to shove my arm off again, but we ended up shoving each other's arm back and forth.

"CHILDREN! QUIET DOWN!!" Alice hissed at us.

"HE STOLE MY ARM REST!" Mitchell yelled. I rolled my eyes.

"Mitchell....you have another arm rest on your other side." Jasper said.

"Oh." Mitchell said, and looked at the other arm rest. I rolled my eyes again. Idiot.

A while later, a stewardess came by. "Would you boys like anything to drink?" she asked us, pointedly looking at me and Mitchell. I groaned at her thoughts. You don't even want to know.

"Yes, I would like a sprite." Mitchell said, and the lady disappeared.

"What the hell?!" I said to him. "You don't even drink!" he didn't reply. Soon after a different lady came back with a sprite and handed it to Mitchell.

"What is this? I said I wanted coke!" Mitchell said, and soon the lady disappeared. The other lady came back out with a coke, and tried to hand it to Mitchell. "No, no, no. I said I wanted tequila." Mitchell said, showing ID. The lady disappeared, and a different lady came back with tequila. "Um, where is my sprite?! I ORDERED SPRITE 10 MINUTES AGO!" Mitchell roared at the lady. Alice and Jasper were holding back laughter. I noticed a little boy, about 5, across the aisle from us, watching the whole act with a grin. The lady disappeared and came back with a sprite. Mitchell took the drink this time, but when another stewardess came walking down the aisle, he called her. "I never got my sprite!" he said, and the lady disappeared, and came back out bringing another sprite. She handed it to Mitchell. "Actually....never mind. I'm not thirsty." Mitchell said with a grin, and the stewardess exploded.

"YOU ORDERED THIS DAMN SPRITE!!" she yelled.

"No I didn't." Mitchell said. The stewardess was having a hard time controlling herself.

"Is there a problem, miss?" another flight attendant asked the lady. She grumbled as she stalked to the back of the plane. Mitchell erupted into laughter.

"Idiot." I mumbled. Mitchell's grin increased.

"LOOK EDWARD, I KNOW YOU'RE GAY BUT YOU PROMISED YOU WOULDN'T HIT ON ME!!!" Mitchell screamed for all the plane to hear. Everyone's heads shot back to stare at me, and I hit Mitchell in the back of the head.

-2 hours later-

"I'm BORED!" Mitchell whined for the 56th time and counting. "Are we there yet?" he asked.

"No." I replied, emotionlessly.

-2 minutes later-

"Are we there yet?"

"No." Jasper replied.

-1 minute later-

"Are we there yet?"

"No." Alice replied.

- 1 minute later-

"Are we there YET?"

"NO!" I snapped.

-30 seconds later-

"Are we ther—"

"NO WE ARE NOT THERE YET MITCHELL. WE WILL BE THERE WHEN THE DAMN PLANE LANDS!" I cut him off.

-2 hours later-

"HEY! WHAT DOES THIS LATCH DO?!?"

"NO MITCHELL DON—"

WHOOSH!

The emergency exit flew open, and air immediately filled the plane. I quickly, at vampire speed, reached over and pulled the door shut. Luckily it happened so quickly no one took notice.

"Woops." Mitchell said, grinning like a maniac.

"How does Bella put up with you!?!" I growled at him. "It's like you're a completely different person when you're bored! You act like....Emmett!" I said, and Alice erupted into laughter and Jasper snickered. He was about to reply, when the intercom came on.

"We are now landing in New York. Everyone please remained seated and fasten your seat belts. Thank you for flying with American Airlines."

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! YES!" Mitchell shouted. I hid my face in my hand. I only prayed that Bella was still here.

AN: haha. Yea so Mitchell+bored=Oh Dear Lordy, save us all.

Haha. REVIEW!
