Ok we could have just flown up, but that would have been the easy way. And that's just not how I roll, I have to go the hard way. After we all finished hacking and wheezing for air we had a good look around.
"Wow, she has…" Jacob started.
"No taste at all." Jasper finished.
"Ok guys lets find those baseball players and get out of here." I sighed. " I knew it was the most horrible idea to go there ugh."
I know I was starting to be the party pooper, but hey when you find yourself running away from and evil fat chick most of your days you wouldn't be smiling sunshine and Mrs. Daisy either. And this room full of doilies and kitten pictures didn't make life any better. I pushed open a few doors to find a closet, a bathroom, and a storage room full of "objects" I am not ready to discuss.
"Wow how do you suppose you use this?" Jasper said picking up an "object".
"Oh for the love of god, put it down." Edward said smacking Jasper upside the head. He dropped the "object" and it rolled to an open window where a pigeon came and took it away.
"That's gonna be one happy pigeon." Jacob snickered, trying desperately hard to conceal his laughter. Oh how I can imagine.
"Focus guys!" I shouted as I made my way to the last door in the room. I slowly pushed it open slowly to find the baseball players from both teams tied up in their… underwear. Well Bertha has issues. A LOT of issues.
"Our savior!" One man shouted. They all were each tied with their back to a pillar, about 5 in that room. At the sight if me and my merry men the athletes started to struggle against the rope binding them to the pillar.
"Shhh!" Jacob shushed them as he began to untie their bondage.
"I'm going to find Bertha." Edward said taking a deep breath.
"Wait, wait what?" I gaped at his sudden thought, but before I could say anything more he made his way into the room connecting to the one we were already in. With great effort he slammed the doors followed by a heart sinking click of the lock.
"Edward! Edward!" I began yelling and banging on the door, but to no avail.
~Inside~
"So Bertha, I'm guessing that this is your version of a calling card." Edward said walking casually around the open room. No furniture got in his way, since there wasn't any.
"Well I'm glad you caught on." Bertha said with an amazingly feminine voice.
"So why, what is it?" Edward practically snarled at Bertha.
"You know what Dr. Grant is doing so why are you going along with everything?" Edward let out a soft sigh.
"Because we are going to stop him eventually. And I want to get revenge and tell him thank you." Edward smirked at the look Dr. Grant would give him for saying such a thing.
"Are you mad boy?" Bertha shouted.
" I want to get revenge for him turning me and my friends into such freaks, but aside from that I want to thank him for leading me to the love of my life." Edward whispered letting a soft expression cross his face.
"Only you could talk about revenge and love in one sentence." Bertha sighed and shook her head causing the fat around her neck to jiggle. "Are you sure she loves you?"
"Yes, though she hasn't said anything about it since we left Tittywaken." Edward grimaced and scratched his head.
"Face it she's just not that into you." Bertha sniggered.
"Great I'm talking about my love life with my enemy." Edward sighed smacking his head with his hand. " Tell Dr. Grant that he doesn't need to keep tabs on us. We are coming for him and we are ready for anything he throws at us."
"Well he won't take kindly to you knowing this but I will tell him." Bertha said nodding to Edward and turning to the window. "Farewell Edward give Jasper a kiss for me." And with that she jumped out the window air gliding into the sunset. Surprisingly she didn't drop like a rock. Must be some optical illusion.
~Back to Bella~
After a while Edward came back after Jasper and Jacob went to go give the baseball players back.
"Did you find her?" I said, looking him over for injuries.
"No she wasn't there." He said looking grim.
"Don't lie to me boy." I said pointing a finger at him.
"Really I didn't."
"Bullshit!"
"Hey Bella." Edward whispered after a pause.
"Yea." I said searching his face for a clue as to what he was thinking.
"Do you …love me?" I could see the fear in his expression like he was thinking I would say no.
"Edward I…" I began. But I stopped and changed my mind. "Edward I love you so much that if I had to choose between breathing and loving you I would use my last breath to say I love you." Damn I'm good. I'm really good. A tear came to my eyes as I said this. Even I moved myself.
"Thank you." He said as he leaned in and pressed his lips ever so delicately to mine. Oh my aren't I supposed to be overcome by the urge to run away and leave him here wondering if I meant I love him, and then I see a lot of pages full of sexual tension. Nope don't think so. Our kisses started out hungry and then died away into playful pecks on each others lips. Edward then proceeded to pick me up and lay me on one of the office desks that was strategically placed in the room. He was about to reach for my shirt when a thought came to him and he just laid down over me on the desk.
"Are we interrupting something?" Jasper said looking at our position on the table.
"Uhhh no." Edward said jumping off the desk.
"Well I think we should get going." Jacob said looking like he was about to walk over and throw Edward out the window.
"Agreed." We all said in unison. Evidentially Jasper and Jacob went and got all our stuff, which isn't much. As soon as we were done gearing up we all lined up by the windows.
"Ok the plan is to jump out the windows and fly towards California across the US it will take some time but we will get there."
"Or we could just buy plane tickets." Jasper said. "We still have about $5,000 left from the Dali lama fund. Oh shit, I forgot I was supposed to be the Dali lama."
"No worries Jasper I'm sure they will find another one." Jacob said sighing and giving Edward yet again another round of daggers.
"You want to buy plane tickets? And you call yourself a mutant bird kid!" I said kicking a hole in the window and jumping out into the night air. I unfurled my wings and made a hard down stroke. I thought I would never say this but flying isn't all that bad. This was actually beautiful and …
"Hey look there's people down there! Lets drop something on them!"
Wow moment totally ruined.
