For then next couple of hours I sat in the van thinking about how I royally fucked up my life. When Laurent changed over with James because he got bored of me sitting there ignoring him and Bella sleeping he begged Laurent to swap with him when he sat down and we had been driving over 20 minutes I decided to find out where we were going.

I knew we were still in America since Bella was mouthing states. Last one she mouthed was Arkansas. I know because I can lip read very well. So the next state I think would be a good guess is Mississippi. I caught Laurent's eye and mouth to him

'Are we going to Mississippi?' He shakes his head just like he did with Bella. So I mouth him a question

'Where are we going?' He mouths back

'Tennessee' I nod.

'Thanks'

'No problem. Do you two have a plan to get out?' I nod he nods back then we stop.

How the fucking hells are we, ganna get back? Tennessee is farmland Jasper would be helpful right now since I doubt Bella speaks farm person. (No offence if you live or work on a farm.) And I know I don't. Well shit. James pulls up.

"Look after them we just need petrol"

"Sure Course I will."

As soon as James leaves to the shop after pulling up Laurent goes to a bag and pulls a tiny map out.

"Take these they're maps to navigate yourselves out okay?"

"Yeah but doesn't James know about them?"

"I bought them when we had that pit stop. I bought them before you came out."

"Oh right thanks" I took them. And put them in my back pocket.

"Don't let anyone see them ok?"

"Course"

Two minutes later James opened the van.

"Either of you need a piss?"

"Yeah I do" I replied.

"You take him." James commanded to Laurent.

"Come on." Right now, I had the maps in my pocket real obvious but James seemed to pissed off to notice anything but his anger.

I jump out of the van praying Bella will be ok.

"Very brave to leave her in there"

"He won't hurt her he's a little preoccupied."

"True. You noticed that?"

"It was obvious" Laurent just laughed. I went to the toilet put the maps folded in my shoes. The fit really well and Laurent gave me a list of places I could get more for the different states.

Another hour and a half went by after putting the maps in my shoes. We were pulling up again. We cant of be out of petrol again. But instead of James getting out the front and telling Laurent to watch us James got out opened the back of the van and said

"Pick her up" he was looking directly at me so I wrapped my arms around Bella and picked her up. She began to wake up. I didn't say anything I just got out the van. I looked around we were at a castle in the middle of Tennessee. The castle was huge and intimidating. It was a normal brick castle that you see in books and when you go to the ruins of castles but when I looked at it my stomach clenched at the speed of lightning.

"Come on you little twerp" Wow. So glad you know your manners James. Bella started to move more.
