The Twilight Saga is owned by Stephanie Meyer. I own nothing but very sore feet.
A/N this is part of the chapter I had hoped to write but as some of you know my Dad had an accident last week and the prognosis is not good. I will keep writing when I can but no promises when the next chapter will be though. Thanks for all the wonderful support you have all given me this week I really love you wolfgirls.
Thanks for all the reviews for the previous chapter I loved them, you really blew me away and I'm sorry I didn't get to respond to you all.
Chapter 24
What The Hell?
Bella's POV
.
"Bella...Bella...C'mon Bella wake up!" I could hear a really annoying nasally voice screech close to my ear. I wanted it to just go away, I was having a lovely dream about Jake and I honeymooning in Hawaii, sand, sea, sun...and an amazing Jacuzzi just for the two of us.
"For fuck sake Swan, wake your ass up." Oh it was getting louder, I tried to open my eyes but it was too hard, easier to go back to sleep.
"Swan, you had better wake up or I will seriously slap you silly." Who is screeching at me? I'm too tired for this, all I want to do is sleep. Find somewhere soft so I can lie down and cuddle with my wolf.
"Swan we have to get outta here or we are going to die." That got my attention.
"What? Where am I?" I gasped in a gravelly voice. My throat was so dry and I had a funny taste in my mouth.
"Oh thank God I thought he'd killed you." She whispered
"Lauren?" I questioned.
"Yes, jeez slow much?" Her snide response didn't warrant a reply.
"Where are we?" I wondered.
"I have no idea." She responded quietly.
"How did we get here?" I asked.
"I have no idea." She screamed.
"Okay please don't screech, but what the hell happened?" My brain was all fuzzy, I couldn't remember anything since having dinner and kissing Jake on our kitchen counter.
"I was sick, which I still am by the way, that friend of yours should never be allowed in a kitchen again." She whined childishly.
"I'll happily tell Kim that if and when we get out of here, but where the hell is here? I can't see a thing." I try to make out shapes in the pitch dark. I am sitting on what I think is a cold concrete floor. I can just about make out Laurens outline but that is it.
"I have no idea either. It's been dark since I woke up, I only knew you were here cause you kept m...m..m..moaning." she shivered.
"Oh, okay sorry." I don't know why I'm apologising but it seems that she expects it.
"S'okay, but I would really like this fucking situation explained. Last thing I know I am at your house poisoned with YOU of all people holding back my hair as I puke my ring up, then I'm waking up here god knows where, freezing my tits off, with my hand hurting like a bitch." She babbled.
"Your hand?" That's weird I thought, as I tried to rub some warmth into my arms. This place was way too cold.
"Well knuckle mostly." Lauren corrected.
"Oh my god, you boxed Emily, I remember now. We were up in the bedroom; she came running in pulling a guy behind her. He grabbed me tried to pull me out of the window, you tried to stop him. Something banged my head and the next thing I knew you were popping the bitch one right in the nose."
"Oh God yes, she was freaking helping him, who the hell was that? And what have you got me into?" She demanded.
"I don't know, I have never seen him in my life before." I answered truthfully.
"Well he looks just like those freaks in your house." Lauren scoffed perceptively
.
"He did look like my friends, didn't he? But I swear I don't know him." I was wracking my brain attempting to remember if I had seen him before.
"Always knew you were trouble swan, but hell, dragging me with you is not cool." She sniffed.
Seriously Lauren, what is your problem with me? You have been a bitch to me since the day I started. I get the impression from everyone else that there is more to you than being a bitch but I have yet to see it." I snarl through gritted teeth.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm really a little princess don't ya know?" She simpered at me.
"Stop being so freaking annoying. Tell me what I ever did to cause you to hate me so much?" I demanded.
"Do you really think this is the time?" She snorted.
"No, probably not but I can't move, I'm freezing, I'm scared senseless, so tell me please.
"I don't think so." She negated.
"Fine, well any ideas of how we can get out here?" I was too tired to play her game.
"Nope, I'm tied up like a suck pig." She replied flatly.
"Well, I suppose our captor will visit soon, maybe we will learn something then." I said hopefully.
Lauren was silent. I didn't know what to do, the little glimpse I got of the man and the heat I had felt from his hands as he pulled me towards him made me realise she was right. He was a wolf but he was not someone I recognised and my long stay in La Push meant I was pretty sure I had at least seen every member of the tribe. So if he had phased without the pack realising. I should have still recognised him from the Rez.
We sat quietly for what seemed like hours, neither having anything to say. She wouldn't admit her secrets to me and I was not sharing mine. I missed Jake with every breath of my body, my soul cried out for him, would he find us? Did he know we were gone? This would devastate him.
Eventually when I had lost all feeling in my legs a bright light came on, blinding me. Trying to protect my eyes I raised my hands and covered them until the white spots disappeared. When I was eventually able to focus I looked around the area we were sequestered; It looked like a horrible dark damp depressing basement. The floor was made of cement with no covering. I think we were in a basement as there was no window but I could see steps leading down from a small doorway. It was confusing though, there was no one at the door way so who turned on the light. Looking around the room I quickly discovered my worst nightmare had come to life. Edward Cullen was lounging comfortably on a leather recliner obviously enjoying our predicament. I guessed he has been there all along listening to us. Enjoying our fear and anger. He was a despicable creep and I was going to tell him yet again what I thought of him.
I opened my mouth to vehemently inform him how much I hated him, when Lauren bet me to it.
"Edward fucking Cullen, how did I not guess your sparkly butt had something to do with this?" Lauren sneered at him. "I knew the day that Swan here started in Forks High you had turned into a nutter and now you have just proved it."
I was confused and completely blown away, her wording made me realise that she knew the Cullen's secret. How the hell did that happen?
"Now, now Lauren, your jealousy is uncalled for." Edward smirked.
"JEALOUS?" Lauren screeched. "How the hell would I be jealous?"
"I know you had hoped that I would change you and be my mate, I admit I did consider it, but then my Isabella came into my life. " Edward smiled crookedly at Bella making her skin crawl.
"I'm not your Isabella, You creepy son of a bitch." I shouted.
"Oh come now Isabella, living with those mutts has affected you badly, don't worry we will have you acting like a lady again in no time." He advanced towards me and bent down taking in a deep breath. I was petrified to see his eye colour change from amber to black. He was affected by my blood. Dear heaven, I was never going to see my Jake again.
"Get your pansy arse away from her Cullen." Lauren demanded.
"Tell me, what do you plan to do about it?" He sneered at the small blonde.
"Well that depends on what you plan on doing to us. If you change me I will fucking kill you the first chance I get, or if you decide to eat me make no mistake I will give you the shits." She sneered at him.
Damn, I think I have changed my mind, I love this girl. She's not afraid of Edward Cullen even though she knows what he is. She's definitely Paul's imprint, the sprits did not make a mistake after all.
"Big words little girl." The creep growled. "You are lucky I have no interest in turning or tasting your putrid blood. "If you are a good little girl I will let you go once Bella has finished her change. But if you are not I will give you over to the werewolf. Now he is a nasty cur. He doesn't seem to be fond of your ignorant dogs."
"My God Edward, have you finally lost your disco balls?" I don't have a dog or any pet so what the hell are you talking about?" Lauren bitched.
"Ah this is interesting; you have no idea what company you have been keeping. Oh what fun, I will leave you two alone while Bella will fill you in about the monsters you have being cavorting with. I hope bestiality is your thing." He chuckled as he sprinted up the stairs leaving me to explain his obtuse comment to Lauren.
