Chapter 34
Edward and I barely spoke after our exchange. I was just so angry with him. I didn't see how I would ever be able to get over my anger. I didn't think Mexico could offer us and the kids anything, but unhappiness. I mean, what was he thinking getting our innocent children mixed up in all this?
At some point the jet landed and we were ushered into a car with tinted windows. The children barely woke up. They were exhausted. I was kinda glad because if they were awake and asking questions I honestly didn't know what I was gonna tell them. What could I tell them? Your father has ruined all of our lives and we may never make it out of Mexico alive?
By the time we arrived at our destination, the sun was beginning to rise. I could see that we were in the middle of nowhere, smack dab in the middle of the desert. There would be no possible escape from this place. Our new home consisted of a large house in a middle of a camp, which was surrounded by various other buildings. There were large walls, tower houses and guards walking around with guns. I asked myself then, for the thousandth time how Edward could have possibly thought this was somewhere to take his family.
A couple came out the main house and walked towards us. The woman was about my age, she actually looked friendly and offered me a warm smile as I got out of the car. The same could not be said for the man who stood at her side. He appeared all serious, he actually kinda scared me a little.
Edward moved beside me and put his hand on the small of my back. I wasn't sure if this was supposed to offer me reassurance. The only thing I wanted to do was grab his hand and shove it away, but I didn't. I needed all the assurances I could get, that everything was going to be okay.
"Bella," Edward said, gesturing towards the couple. "This is Alice and Jasper. Alice is Emmett's sister and Carlisle's daughter. Jasper is Alice's husband."
I stared at them, unsure what I was supposed to say, It's nice to meet you? It wasn't. I would have been happy if I had never ever met them at all.
"It's nice to finally you," Alice said, "I've heard so much about you and the kids. Are they sleeping?" She asked, peering behind me to the car. I nodded, still unable to find my voice. "I've set you, Edward and the kids up in one of the annex houses. I thought you would prefer the space, rather than being in the main house with us. I hope that's okay?" I nodded, still unable to speak. "I'll show you the way, we can let the boys carry your things." She started to walk away and I did the only thing I could do. I followed her.
