So, I had about 1000 words done on Tuesday that I've been working on since Febuary. Erased it all that night. The next day wrote 2000 words into the new chapter, then the day after that, litteraly didnt leave fanfiction from 11am to 11 pm. Okay, so i went outside for an hour, took a shower, ate, went on myspace, . but bascially, this chapter took me 2 days, when you waited about 4 months for it. Sorry!
READ AND REVIEW!
The van came to a halt, flinging Jon and I around the van, our bodies waking against each other like they have been doing for the past hours it seemed. My body felt sore, especially my arms from when I was bring pined down, ouch. Although, I shouldn't be complaining, for my lovely Jon's sweet face was covered with dried blood stains and a becoming black eye. May I also remind you that just about 2 weeks ago, he broke a rib due to the car crash we were in. Speaking of which, keeping a secret has been a success.
The sound of foot prints against gravel came closer and soon the doors to the back of this white van we were trapped in opened, sending beaming light in that blinded my eyes. It seems like forever since I've seen light.
A few of robot things lined up behind the white coat that kidnapped Jon and I. He still had his scary appeal and the robots still looked like they wanted to kill. Before we knew, the arms of the robots grabbed us, tugging Jon and I into a building in literally the middle of no where. Jon and I both tried the sad technique of gliding our feet on the ground, hoping not to move forward, but that was unsuccessful considering this robots could move anything they were so strong.
The doors to the deserted building opened and I compared this place similar to a hospital. Although, there were no human patients, there were dog/fish animals being tested with needles and who-knows-what. It was sad to look at these poor strange creatures as they were being tested on. This is what it was like for The Flock. A new sympathy rushed over me.
Although, being kidnapped was another concern so sympathy for these tested creatures flew out of my mind just as Jon and I were shoved in a dog crate. There was no point to fighting our way out of this, everyone was stronger than me it seemed, so I let worst come to worst and let them shove Jon and I in this ridiculously small dog cage. The robot then locked the cage and turned away, heading out of this white, creature testing environment. This panic feeling I've had for the past who knows how many hours its been now I know for sure, won't leave me anytime soon.
I looked at Jon as he sat scrunched up in the corner of this cage, he looked like he was in deep pain, I understood. I wanted to talk to him, I wanted to talk in general, but the tape on my mouth prevented it. I tried to take it off, rubbing it up against my shoulder, against the cage, anything.
I tired to make more room for Jon as I eyed him to move over here closer. When he did, his expression showed it all. It was his rib, I could tell it was hurting. Most rib fractures are to just heal on there own, which Jon was told to happen by . I guess going easy with sports and staying active has been concerning his parents because normally he doesn't hang around this much but he was doing the right thing actually. Being in this position in a small dog cage probably isn't the best situation for his injury which is concerning me now, never mind all the blood on his face.
I adjusted my body, my back against the side of the rectangular cage with my legs scrunched together reasonably. My eyes motioned Jon to move next to me. As he slowly menuovered his body closer to me, the bottom left side of the tape on my mouth came off of my skin. I looked really stupid trying to get the rest of the tape off my mouth as I dragged it on my bare shoulders, I was wearing a tank top. And slowly, the tape edged off my mouth as I disgustingly used my tongue to get the rest of it off. As the silver duck tape fell on my shirt I took in a deep breath so happy to be able to get this amount of air fill lungs.
Jon's eyes widened.
"YES!" I said with much excitement. "Okay, now yours...Umm..." I looked at the tape covering his mouth and got an idea. "Okay. Jon. Just stay still, this should work." I twisted in my position, aligning my face with his, as I slightly tilted my head to the side and edged my teeth around both sides of the tape, so I had a grip. His eyes looked at me like I was the strangest person on Earth, but I guess you could say, I was use to that. "Its gonna hurt." I said threw my teeth in this awkward position right up against him. I edged my mouth around his and eventually got the tape off, letting it drop onto his shirt, then quickly pressed my lips to his. It had seemed like forever since I've done that and ohh it felt great.
"B." He said right after we broke apart, his voice sounding muffled. Lately that's what hes been calling me. B. Don't ask why but I think its cute, I've never actually had a nickname, so it works for me. "My rib. It hurts so much." He winced.
I looked at him speechless for a moment. "I...don't know what to do..." I was trying to come up with another plan. Then suddenly, it happened, I completely just burst. "I just know that...I'm sorry okay? I don't know how things got this way. I didn't want things to get this way. I should have listened to Kathleen to stay more alert but most importantly, should have listened to you when you said not to got out and save Max. I can't believe what they did to you, I hate to see you this way and-" A cotton ball formed in my throat and I tried to swallow it down but I couldn't, so before you knew it, I was having a breakdown as the tears of fear, tears begging for forgiveness and tears of regret stream down my face. Also, I kept on trying to talk to Jon so he would understand what I was trying to get at, but the way my voice sounded as it filled with rushed tears as they raced down like razor blades, I wished him luck trying to comprehend what words were even coming out of my mouth. I could see slightly through my blurred vision that Jonathan was just staring at me. He was probably thinking I was going insane,ugh, why do I have to be so emotional sometimes?
"B, just calm down, okay?" His voice was soft and genital.
I tried to continue talking but all that came out was my heavy childish breathing, the type a 4 year old would have when he or she is having a break down. I'm such a baby. "I'm just- I'm..I'm just..."
He was quiet for a moment.
I whipped a few of the tears falling from my face with my shoulder then tried to catch my breath. "Scared." I felt stupid for having such a dull vocabulary to sum things up but hey, its true. I'm scared. Scared of it all and its gone to far for me to handle.
"I know B, I'm scared too, really scared. We are gonna get out of this soon, okay? I promise." His words were soft and genital once again and if I wasn't sitting here in a small dog cage, wrapped up with rope, injured, concerned about the boy I love and not having a break down, those words would have put a smile on my face.
Once I got everything under control, Jon and I tried to figure out how to untie the rope around our wrists. We are now sitting back to back trying untie the tight rope of each others. I push my back hard against his trying to get better control of the rope. "Britta! My rib!" I sat back down. "Sorry!" I squealed. He took in a breath threw his teeth and then began figiting with my rope. He actually began getting lucky, getting one finger under one knot, loosening it, untying another. "Almost got it..." and there you go the last slip of the knot to the rope around my wrist was finally untied.
I shook out my hands finally getting the blood circulating again and then attempted to untie Jon's. Once he was free we worked on the rope around our ankles, which was probably the easiest to handle. We both had marks from where the rope use to be, I wouldn't be surprised if I got a bruse there, it was tied so tight! I shot my arms around him and dug my face into his shirt as he held on to me. Finally. I thought to myself. Holding back the tears and the breakdown breathing, Jon placed his hand on my face and pressed his lips to mine gently. "We can continue this later." He said with a small grin on his face. "But lets focus on getting outta of here." He pulled his face away from mine then went to the front of the dog cage stuck his hand out of it, then grabbed on to the bulky big lock that kept us in here. "Where is your cell?" He asked me examining the lock.
I had to think about it for a second almost forgetting that I was at Maggie's birthday party earlier today...or maybe that was yesterday, I haven't been keeping up with time. "Maggie's house." I had left it on the kitchen table when we all had left and crowded at the door to see who was there. Obviously. "Yours?"
"Well Kathleen had called me to say that you got kidnapped, so after I hung up, I put my phone down and walked out of my house planning on heading over to Maggie's and get help to find you. I then see this van parked out front of my house and a man coming towards me saying I was going with him." He turned away, shaking his head. "Then, well, you know the rest."
I nodded and that was really all I needed to know. "The white coat grabbed me by the arm and dragged me to his van, I couldn't get out of his reach, Kathleen kicked him, but that did was make him push on to me harder as he held me against the van. Tyler, Maggie's boyfriend from Seattle, threw a punch, but then the man punched him back. I...just...knew I couldn't be saved after that."
"I wished I could have gotten there sooner and just saved you myself." Jon said with disappointment.
"Jon, stop. Don't be hard on yourself. You said we're getting out of this right?" I raised my eyebrows and he threw me a smile.
Hours past by, we still had no clue what this scientist plan is as much as we guessed. I remembered back when I first found out that Max had wings, that she told me the white coats wanted her and the flock to go to Greenland and help stop the global warming up there like they did in Antarctica. Although, the white coat that captured us seemed to have more plans than bring them to Greenland. Jon and I wondered who was on this guys side and how many people knew about this plan. Many questions came in our mind but our guesses were as close to answers that we could get now.
We both are very concered as to what is happening back in Forks right now. We both guessed, and hoped, that there was a search going on. Get us out of here soon. Please. Repeated itself in my mind. I wondered how my Mom was taking this, shes probably going crazy. Then there was Jon's family, we guessed and hoped they were gathering the pack to come find us. Maybe if Max and her flock were in Forks they could have found out about us, so maybe they are on the search for us.
More hours went by, we couldn't tell if it was night but I knew I was very tried and so was Jon. This was not going to be a comfortable sleep. I kept my eyes on the door that we came in, only if we could get out of this cage, we could sneek out that door, down the hallways and out, we'd be free! But...as to right now with this lock that kept us secure inside the small dog cage, this seemed like an impossible plan. Also, I kept telling myself that any minute now someone was gonna come through that door and save us. My eyes opened and closed rapidly and Jon's rapid position change, to get comfortable with his rib, slowed down.
"How bad does it hurt?" I asked. I already knew the answer but I asked anyways.
"Kills. I don't have the tape on it either, didn't get to put it on." He changed his position again.
"So your more concerned about smelling good instead of curing your rib?" Axe. Hate it with a passion.
"Surprised you haven't sneezed."
I rolled my eyes."You should have look at it again, you don't want it to get worse."
"I think it already did. I don't know how long I can keep this secret B, I might need to give in." He shrugged.
I placed my hands on my head trying to think of my mother's reaction when she found out about the car crash. I shuttered.
"We don't have to tell Susan." Jon said simply.
I shrugged and let out my breath. This is to much to take in.
Jon was quiet and let his eyes wander around the white room. It was large, had many lab tables with equipment that I've never seen before. It contained a many sets of needles, large to small. There was also many test tubes with sample trays and beakers with pairs of goggles next to them. Basically, everything else, I didn't recognize. Although, there were other black cages like ours but they were set on lab tables while ours was placed on the ground.
As I was about to fall asleep, someone entered the room. Jon and I were so alert all of a sudden, we've been waiting for a rescue forever.
"Eric!!" I said with great relief. WE ARE SAVED! Jon and I turned to each other us both smiling with excitement. Eric put his finger over his lip. Right, gotta be quiet. In an instant, Eric was over at our cage, I hadn't even seen him move he had gotten here so fast. He gripped on to the lock and yanked it off with his vampire strength that I will never get use to. He undid the hinge to the cage and we got out. Ughh, it felt so good to finally stand and stretch. Although we didn't have much time because we didn't want to get caught. I gave Eric a quick hug and said thank you about a billion times then we headed out of here.
It wasn't that simple though.
There were a few people walking down the hall, so we had to wait for them to pass. When they did, we dashed down the hallway, but ended up stopping in another room while we waited for a line of about 12 robots continue there way down the hallway.
"How did you find us?" I whispered to Eric.
He waited a moment before he responded. "Max and her gang led me down here. They are outside waiting for us to make sure we get out safe." His eyes skimed up and down the long hallway before we took off again. It felt so secretive and spy like doing this, making non sounded footsteps, hiding in rooms while we waited for white coats or robots to pass. What was good that Eric was here, was that he has strong hearing so he was able to tell us if someone was coming this way. So soon enough, we reached the hallway that led to the front door leading to outside. My heart began to beat fast as adrenaline took over me, almost there and we are out! But then suddenly, Eric stopped running. "Wait. Someone is coming." and soon enough someone did show up, two scientists actually. The turned to us, blocking our exit.
"Hey! What are you doing here?! I thought you were locked up?" Said a short white coat with black hair. He turned to his coworker. "Get the M-Geeks." M-Geeks? The tall coworker with red hair raced down the hallway to right instantly.
Suddenly the door to outside opened and Max stepped in and spotted us. Sure enough Eric could have taken that white coat out, but Max beat him to it. My eyes widened as she whacked a forceful kick right in his gut, sending him flying down the hall and landing painfully. We heard him scream in pain. She looked gave a good satisfied look at him and then turned to us.
"Someone is coming." Eric said seriously.
"Let's go." Max opened the door to the outside where it was pitch black, and we all followed behind her running out of the building.
"I hear the robots coming, come on lets get out of here. Britta, Jon, follow." He directed.
Jon and I followed Eric as he slowly (vampire speaking) ran to his car. Jon and I ran as fast as we could trying to catch up to him. As we got into his car, we started driving away in less than a second. "If we don't get out of there site quick, then the won't follow us to the Cullen's."
I buckled my seat belt, missing where to put the buckle in because my heart still racing and that was making my hands were shake. I next turned to Jon, he look like he was in so much pain as he even attempted to put on his seat belt too. I then helped buckle him in and responded to Eric. "The Cullen's?" I tried to catch my breathing, I was so out of breath.
Eric was speeding down the road, and on top of that I couldn't tell where we were because it was so dark. He pushed down on the peddle more. "If they want you that bad, these scientists will search any possible place where you could be. Didn't think they would find you at Maggie's right? They won't find you at the Cullen's because the Cullen's have nothing to do with this."
I understood. "Can you slow down?!" I asked as I saw the MPH meter, 200.
"Nope." Eric answered. He's so stubborn, I almost forgot.
"How did everything turn out in Forks?" Jon asked.
"Well," Eric began. "once the cops showed up at Maggie's house, Kathleen filled them in what she saw. After that point, the cops took off in search for this white van. Having Forks being a small town they picked up you, Jon, and got out of Forks before the cops caught up. Considering no one was home at Jon's house earlier that day except for him, no one knew where he went when his sister got home. Casey called Jon's cell, a few of his friends houses and then when she called Britta's Susan answered saying Britta was missing and that's when everyone figured you were with her."
"My sister concerned was about me?" Jon shook his head. "Didn't see that coming."
"Well, she was only concerned because before she called Britta's house, she had already found out that Britta was missing, so I she just panicked."
"Still surprised." Jon muttered.
I elbowed him and rolled my eyes.
"Next, the word spread, more and more people found out, gathered at Maggie's house, some searched the streets for you guys, etc. At this point, my new family and I were help searching, although no one knew that. I guess your family called the pack together and they searched La Push with little luck."
"Knew it." Jon butted in.
Eric continued. "Everyone also knew that this situation had to do with The Bird Kids. So when they showed up at the scene and found out what had happened, they went on search, knowing exactly where to go. The School they called it. My family caught up to them and we insisted that we followed. Max refused when we offered but we had to explain that we had powers just like hers and that we knew you two like family. Considering we didn't give away our secret she said only one could follow her for some reason. We tried to convince her otherwise but the plan she explained seemed like it could work. Considering she can fly faster than the others, she took the lead while I followed below, and the rest of the flock led cops to the school." We had only been in the car for a few minutes now and just as he said that a rush of sirens past our car. Freaky.
Jon and I looked at each other.
"I agreed to go inside and look for you and bring you out. If I took longer than 5 minutes, she said she would come in and search for us. That was a total unnecessary rule but turns out when she came in, she came in handy and knocked out that scientist for us."
We were now coming close to Forks, I could see from the street lights that this place look familiar.
"But what happens when the cops get to the school and they don't see us?" I asked.
"They know Max got you out." Eric answered.
Jon and I turned to each other and nodded in satisfaction, but a concern came across. "What about my Mom?"
"She freaked." Eric said simply.
"Great." I thought for a moment, knowing that shes probably going crazy right now. "Well, if my Mom and everyone else knows that Jon and I are safe, wouldn't they want to see us? What I'm saying is that, I don't think we can just go off and hide." I shook my head.
"Max will explain everything. She was telling me that she knows how to deal a situation like this, the white coats will find you somehow if you don't hide. She'll explain everything to everyone saying you and Jon are alright its just we are dealing with situation a certain way in order to keep you safe."
"Eric. You know my Mom, shes gonna go crazy."
He was quiet for a moment, you could only hear the car going along the road and Jon and I's breathing. "Let's just stick with this plan for now and we'll figure everything else out later." It was quiet for a minute or so before Eric spoke again. "We're keeping you at the Cullen's for as long as we need to, just having the cops go to The School might not stop them nor the man who kidnapped you, he could already be on the loose." And that last sentence sent shivers down my spine.
We arrived at the Cullen's house shortly after,very shortly considering how fast Eric was driving. I slid out of the car as Jon held the door open for me, then the three of us headed inside to find everyone waiting anxiously at the door.
"Come sit, make your self at home." Esme said as we step threw the door. With a blink of an eye everyone moved from being right at the door to over in the living room, I could tell they wanted in on the story. Jon and I moved over to the couch and sat down with everyone else.
"How long do you think you'll be staying here?" Asked Bella when we finished filling them in on what had happened at the school and what Max had told us.
I turned to Jon, we both shrugged. "I guess we will have to wait and hear from Max, what she thinks is best." I answered.
"How many times has Max encountered a situation like this those? Is she sure what shes doing?"Carlisle asked.
I looked at Jon again. "No clue." He answered at the same time I said "Probably." I closed my eyes and shook my head for a quick second.
"Hows your rib Jonathan?" Carlisle asked, he was seated next Resme on the couch across from us.
Jon was quiet for a second, so I lightly elbowed him. Jon, talk. "It kills." He finally blurted out.
Carlisle face showed concern, so did a few of the other vampires. "Let's have a look at it." He said as he stood up. "This way." Jon grabbed my hand quickly and pulled me along with him as he followed Carlisle through this huge house to finally his office. "Do you have any tape around it?" He asked Jon as he pulled a piece of paper out of a folder that came from the filing cabnet.
"No." Jon answered, I gave his hand a squeeze.
Carlisle wrote something down very quickly and then looked up at him. "Have you?"
Jon nodded. "Everyday."
"Good. When you were in cage, did you hear or feel your rib cracking at all?" Carlisle motioned Jon to the bed to the right.
Jon sat down then answered. "No, I think it was just how I was positioned in there that's what made it hurt more."
"Being in that position for hours with no tape or support around it would cause it to hurt."Carlisle nodded a few times. "Let me look at it." Jon let go of my hand, took of his shirt and handed it to me. I felt an instant rush of awkwardness and embarrassment. Jon turned his face to me and winked. "Hows your breathing?"Carlisle asked.
"Well when I was in the cage, it sometimes hurt to take in deep breaths, but it would pass deppending on which position I was in."Carlisle continued examining the break and asking questions for a few minutes longer then wrapped his rib cage with tape. After that, I gave Jon his shirt back, he just looked at me and shook his head.
"For the time you are staying here, I would like to check on it daily, to replace the tape." He directed.
Jon nodded and said "Thanks."
"I believe they are cooking for you, why don't you two head down to the kitchen." He smiled and settled down at his desk, moving around a few papers.
Jon and I left 's office and headed down to the kitchen where we could smell food all the way upstairs in the office. Finding our way to the kitchen I thought was going to be a challenge, for this house was so big it would be easy to get lost in. Although, when we did find it and settled down to eat, we realized that vampires are very good cooks. Something you wouldn't think because they don't eat, right? On second though, the both of us were starving, either way we would have eaten anything.
Even though I was trapped in a house full of vampires, even though I have bruises all over me, even though my boyfriend is injured, even though I don't know when the next time I'll get to see my Mom and even though white coats could be on there search to find me, I am still so happy and thankful I got out of that school.
I went over to Eric after I thanked Bella and Esme for cooking Jon and I dinner and told him thank you for getting us out of that place over and over again. "Little brat, I get it." he said with a smile on his face. I gave him a hug and then followed Alice as to where she put my stuff. Questioning me? Alice supposedly sneaked into both Jon and I's house and our got clothes for us, she told me she hated repeated outfits and manages everyone clothing style in this house.
"That must be a hard adjustment for Eric then. He use to wear the same sweatshirt everyday." I said looking at Alice. "I told him that his girlfriend Jess would probably dump him if he didn't vary his clothes anytime soon."
Alice let out a chiming laugh. "Well your probably right. Eric's adjustment is going quiet well actually, its Bella's that was hard." She continued to prance through the house, giving us a little tour, she was so happy and friendly. Alice suddenly stopped and said "Okay, Britta this is your room." She pointed to the door to the right. "And Jonathan, this is yours." She pointed to the room on the left. "I put you suitcases on your beds and feel free to make yourself at home."
I nodded. "Thanks Alice."
"No problem. Here if you need me." She said cheerfully then skipped down the hall and disappeared.
"Wow. Shes happy." Jon's eyes widened.
"But very nice." I added and he rolled his eyes. "I'm gonna-" I realized we were both just standing in the middle of the hallway. I wanted to see this room and if it was as amazing as the rest of the house. So I pointed to the door and reached for the handle.
"You going to sleep?" He asked me with his eyebrows raised.
I had forgotten how tired I was, so I nodded and said "Yeah."
He shrugged and looked at the ground. "Yeah, I guess I will too." It went quiet after he said that. When I looked up from my glance at the ground I saw him looking at me with his shimmering blue eyes. He placed his hands on my waist and pulled me closer. "Night B." He said quietly, close to my face, then closed his eyes and lightly kissed me, making my heart beat go crazy.
"Good night."I said, my eyes locked on his. I bit my lip, turned away and entered the bedroom, with my heart still beating like crazy. I quietly closed the door, hearing his close too. Something inside me wanted to run back over to him and wrap my arms around him, but I was just so tired I could collapse any second. So I as I went over to my suitcase full of clothes I looked around the room wishing it was mine. The room was huge, there was so much space unlike my room, there was a big bed unlike my twin bed, and its interior design was amazing, just like the rest of the house.
I climbed into my PJ's that were found in the suitcase and got into the huge bed, laying there, staring at the tall ceiling. Like I said before, something inside me longed for me to see Jonathan. I wanted to just run over to his room and tell him how much he meant to me and how much I loved him. After being with him all day, being separated seemed unbearable. Twisting and turning in my position every five seconds trying to get comfy wasn't working. So, I just stopped and lay there on my right side and closed my eyes. Go to sleep Britta, your tired. I told myself over and over, but that didn't seem to do anything. The house was so silent it almost hurt my ears. Normally at my place, you could hear the sound of my Mom typing on her laptop in the middle of the night, the TV playing down stairs or my Mom making coffee, here everything seemed so empty. I grabbed one of the pillows and threw it over my head, flopped on my stomach, closed my eyes tight and dug my face into the mattress.
Suddenly, the part of the mattress next to me sank down and the blanks on top of me were now being shared by another warm body. The pillow on my head was taken off and as I lifted my head just staring at Jon as I could barely make out his face in the dark, he the placed the pillow under our heads and placed me in his warm arms.
"I didn't want to go to sleep." He said quietly.
"I couldn't sleep." I whispered back. "If Eric walks in on us its your fault."
He pulled me closer, making me go right up against him. "Want me to leave?"
Heart beat began going crazy again, he could probably hear it its so loud. "No." I locked my arms around his neck.
Jon shot me a smile and then said quietly "I love you B." He didn't give me a chance to say anything back because his lips were already pressed to mine and didn't break apart. Our lips moved together, this is what that something inside me wanted. I ran my hands threw his hair as he placed his hands on my skin wrapping his arms around me. Our breathing was fast and I couldn't control it. It was like Jon had hypnotized me, I just completely forgot about everything and just focused on me and him. Jon rolled me on top of him and all I could think about is how good of a kisser he was. It felt like it was lasting forever and my heart still continued to pound with excitement. I wrapped my hands under his shoulders as he slid his hands down my side of my tank top and stopped at my waist. He kissed me slowly and we rolled back on our sides. Eventually, Jon's lips slowed down and slowly broke away from mine. We opened our eyes and I just gazed into his.
"I love you too Jon." He pushed away the hair that was falling in my face, my hair felt like a mess, but I guess I was use to that cause it always is. It was quiet for a few minutes, all you could hear was our breathing. "Everyone is probably worried about us."
Jon hummed. "I bet."
"I'm just so concerned. My Mom is probably going crazy right now." I groaned.
"Yeah, i think mine is too, along with my Dad."
"How long do you think we are gonna be stuck here?" I asked him.
He thought about this. "Seeing Max's fighting skills at the school, plus the rest of the bird kids, I'd think we won't be here long, my guess is a few days."
"She had spectacular fighting skills, she must have been training her whole life."
"Must have."
We both just lay here in silence, under the warm covers, my head resting on his chest while he held me in his warm arms.
I yawned and noticed that outside it was getting lighter as beams of light began shinning in the room. "Go to sleep B, I can tell your tired." He was right, I was tired,vey tired. So I just nodded slightly, closed my eyes and fell asleep in his arms.
