The Whispering Woods
Chapter Seven
Edward came to at the sound of a blaring horn, his forehead smacking on his driver's side window. "What the fuck?"
Outside of said window was Bella's car, a similar look on her face. They exited their vehicles at the same time and circled them until they met in front of the headlights.
"How did we get here?" She grabbed on to his jacket, desperation on her face. Her full lips pursed in confusion, her brow tightening under Edward's unwavering gaze.
He put his hands around her wrists, pulling her away from him. "I'm just as confused as you are. Why don't we try to figure that out together?"
She stepped away, the distance between them growing.
Edward didn't like it. He rubbed a sore spot on his chest, doing a quick inventory of any other pain.
"Your head." She pointed at his forehead. "Your cut is gone." Her eyes widened and she circled until she faced the forest that, seemingly, saved them, threw them out, and healed him.
"How long have we been out here?" Esme was going to have a heart attack if it had been hours.
"I don't know." She ran toward her car and pulled out her cell phone, cursing when it was out of power. "Yours?"
"Same. Fuck, we've been out here for hours. Do you remember anything?"
Bella shook her head and closed her eyes. "The last thing I remember is something roaring from below and then something pulling at the rope from above us."
Edward thought so, but he didn't do freaky shit anymore. "Yeah, I'm out of here."
She grabbed his arm, looking angry. "You think I'm not just as confused and scared. Look, we can't ignore something happened to us out here."
He shrugged. "You saved my life, thanks for that. That's all that happened. See you around, Bella."
Her eyes narrowed. "How do you know my name? I didn't tell you."
"Tell your father, Esme is back in town."
She gasped, but Edward managed to escape before she could say another word.
AN: Thanks to MC, wonder if anyone will notice something REALLY weird that happened in this chapter...besides waking up with no memory of what happened to them. See you Thursday.
