Ch 19
~Bella's POV~
I tried to act normal around the Cullens, but sometimes it was too much. I needed to hold on until my real family could come. I looked over at the clock and saw that it was around nine. That gave me an excuse to get away and lock myself in the room they sat aside for me. I refused to call it my room, it was more like another part of my prison. They never entered that room, instead they knocked on the outside and speaking through the door. I excused myself and took a shower. The shower was my sort of sanctuary because no one could hear me cry while the water was running. I quickly got out and into a pair of pjs. When I looked out the window, my miracle arrived.
I casually walked downstairs, claiming to grab a bottle of water. When I shut the refrigerator door, the team busted in. I ran over and jumped onto Steve. While I have been here, I discovered that I loved Steve Rogers. I thought about him almost every minute of my time in this prison. I dreamed that he would be the one to find and save me. I might be a little reckless right now, falling for a guy that I don't know what his feelings towards me are. At the moment, I didn't care.
"Bella, are you okay?" Steve asked.
"Now that you guys are here to rescue me I am." I responded.
"I brought you a change of clothes. They are on the quinjet." Nat told me.
I thanked her, and the others. It wasn't until then that I was ripped from my family.
"You can't have her. She's mine!" Edward yelled as he held my arm firmly.
I begged him to let go of me, but it didn't work. When Tony shot a repulsor beam at Edward, it loosened his grasp on me. Sadly, Alice came and held me captive instead. As my family fought against the Cullens, I was passed around from one Cullen to the next. I was pretty sure that I now have a few bruises, and maybe a broken bone. I was currently being held by Edward near the fireplace. An idea came to me, so I grabbed one of the metal things near me and swung as hard as I could at Edward. Out of shock he let me go, and Steve saw his chance to grab me before anyone else could.
"Bella, where are you hurt?" Steve questioned.
"Some bruises for sure, maybe a broken bone. I just want to go home." I started to cry.
Steve pulled me into a hug as he slammed his shield on Edward's head when he tried to get up. Steve said a few things, but I wasn't paying any attention. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Natasha setting somethings on fire. I think I know what they are doing. I believe they were going to keep the Cullens in the house, and burn them to death. Great plan, except for one thing. How were they going to keep them inside? My question was soon answered when Steve knocked several of the Cullens unconscious, which I didn't know that vampires could be knocked unconscious.
"I would make sure you burn their bodies, or they could come back." I suddenly said.
Everyone nodded their heads and went to work. With the amount of smoke that was quickly filling the room, I started coughing until I collapsed in Steve's arms.
~Steve's POV~
I caught Bella as she collapsed. The smoke might be getting to her. I rush out with her and the team follows. Thankfully we didn't need a code green, so Bruce was waiting in the quinjet.
"She collapsed only a minute ago. First got there, she was fine. After we got there, she might have some severe bruising." I explained.
Bruce just nodded his head, and went to work. Clint and Natasha started to fly us back to New York. When Bella wakes up, I'm going to tell her how I feel. When she was taken, I never felt more scared. Hopefully, she will feel the same way.
AN: Hello everyone! I would like to wish everyone a belated Happy Star Wars Day! Thanks for reading and reviewing. ~Ariel
