Chapter 12: Captured Again

I awoke drowsy and confused, lying on the same dirty little mattress as the last time. Dang! That could mean one thing, Jasper found and sedated me. Shoot! I thought I had been doing well, guess not. As the thoughts ran through my head I tried to sit up. As I did I caught a glimpse of Jasper sitting in a chair by the door, watching me. I tried to sit up more, but suddenly became very dizzy. The room spun around me and I fell back onto the mattress. I turned my head to the left and saw water and food. Then I turned my head slightly to the right and saw Jasper's expression had gone from amused to concerned.

"Are you alright?" Jasper asked as he got up from his chair and knelt by my head.

"Nn…No. My head and my ribs hurt!" I whined as he chuckled quietly.

"Well you did have a wild day yesterday." Jasper said, still laughing lightly.

"Shut up and help me!" I snapped agitatedly.

"Ok, Ok. The doctor came by with your medicine. Oh and by the way, he said he forgives you for your little stunt in his office." Jasper said as I blushed and looked away remorsefully.

"So can I have my medicine? I'm in like a lot of pain." I said as I bit my tongue to keep from crying out in pain as I sat up.

I felt tears leak out, the pain clear in my eyes. I looked up at Jasper and noticed he looked different, almost upset. Slowly he leaned forward and gave me a hug. He looked at me with his piercing gaze and silently handed me the medicine.

"Can I go to the bathroom?" I asked, breaking the silence.

"Uhh… I'm not sure." He replied uncertainly, clearly he remembered the last incident.

"Pleeeeeaaaaaaaase!" I whined, annoyed now.

"Oh! Ok! Sure" Jasper answered as his eyes brightened with understanding.

"Ok great! Where to?" I asked.

"Follow me." Jasper said as he stood up, motioning for me to do the same. I realized then that I couldn't, it was too painful after my little day trip outside yesterday,

Jasper took one look at me and then his eyes showed a mixture of understanding and sympathy. He then knelt back down besides me and held his arms open, questioning me as to if carrying me was acceptable or not. I nodded my head, to weak to do anything else. He carefully bent down and picked me up. I held my breath to keep from screaming in pain. Jasper then looked at me and smiled a breath taking smile as he proceeded to carry out of the room.

As Jasper carried me I wondered vaguely of what this must look like. I looked up at Jasper's face from the corner of my eye and noticed he was deep in thought. That was when I began to think of my next escape plan. Yes! (Hehe silly readers! You didn't think I would tell you the plan did you? I luuuuuuuuv cliffys, no, but you will find out in a couple paragraphs.) I now know my plan and the obstacles I will face. I made a mental list in my head:

The guards outside.

They have managed to learn to sedate me in record time.

The most important and hard to escape…Jasper.

If I can get past all three obstacles then I'm free! It sounds waaaaaay easier than it really is.

"Alice. Alice." Jasper said to me repeatedly as he broke me out of my thoughts.

"Huh? What?" I asked stupidly, looking frantically around me.

"We're at the bathrooms. Calm down." He said in a quiet voice.

"Oh. Ok. Umm...thanks. I'll be right back." I said as Jasper slowly lowered me to the ground.

"Ok go ahead, but don't try anything funny." He warned me.

"Whatever do you mean?" I asked, playing innocent and messing with his head a bit.

"I mean you better watch out because I'm watching you." He said softly, whispering the last part menacingly into my ear as I shivered from his words.

I walked into the bathroom and shut the door. I realized this bathroom didn't have any windows. I pulled out my toothpaste and toothbrush from my bag and brushed my teeth. After my teeth were clean I ran a brush though my hair. With much difficulty I finally tamed the knotted mess that was my hair. I threw all my belongings into the little backpack and walked out the door, feeling fresh and clean.

I found Jasper sitting lazily against the wall by the door, staring at nothing in particular. I decided to mess with him a bit and walked right past him. At first he didn't realize. He sat and stared at nothing as I continued walking away casually. As I began to round the corner I felt a pair of strong arms wrap carefully around my waist, lifting me off the ground.

"What are you doing?" Jasper asked quietly in my ear as he repositioned me so that I was cradled to his chest, while I glared at his actions.

"Nothing why?" I replied innocently, trying to annoy him.

"I guess you didn't take my words seriously." Jasper growled, I guess I did get in his head I thought smugly.

"Psh, yeah, cause I really take you seriously." I said as I emphasized the word you.

"You better watch out then because I will catch any little stunt you play. You know that now I'm on my guard." Jasper said as he walked down the hall, although I acted brave I was very nervous by his threats.

"Whatever!" I snorted at him.

"Ok fine don't believe me." Jasper said as he opened the door to my "room" if you could even call it a room. Gently Jasper lowered me onto the mattress.

"Ok now what?" I asked boredly as I looked up at Jasper.

"I don't know." Jasper responded in a confused tone.

"Ok I'm gonna take a nap. I'm really tired so goodnight." I told him as I lay down on the mattress, sneaking a glance at my watch, and waited to put my plan into action. (All of my readers are lucky I'm nice! I was going to leave it at this but I won't. LOL! That means everyone should review!)

I lay on the mattress quietly, pretending to sleep. I listened to Jasper's quiet breathing, waiting for it to slow. I kept my body completely still, not even twitching. Finally I heard Jasper's breathing slow down more. His light snore filled the room. Ha! Success! I have completed the beginning of my plan. Slowly and cautiously I opened my eyes. I looked up to see Jasper's slumped figure in the chair, he was definitely asleep. Carefully I got up and pulled my bag onto my back. I then proceeded to tiptoe out of the room. The door wasn't locked, I guess because Jasper was supposed to be guarding me. I put my butterfly hair clip in his lap, softly, like they do in the movies. It was my symbol, showing him that I had gotten away.
