The Beginning of the End
It only took a few minutes before my brain settled with my stomach and I began throwing up into the porcelain, white toilet bowl. I felt tears come down my face as they always did when I got sick and I quickly wiped them away as I drew the back of my hand across my face. Then just as I'd expected, a big pounding sound came from the door.
"Bella!" I could hear Edward's muffled voice from the other side of the door.
I ignored him as he continued banging and walked over to the right of the room where the huge bathtub was sitting and turned the knobs until hot water was pouring out. I walked over to the black counter by the toilet and looked underneath it and found what I was looking for. I unscrewed the lid of the vanilla bubble bath and poured it into the water, subconsciously listening to Edward's words from his spot behind the door.
"Bella, can you please just let me in?"
I heard the desperateness in his voice but I didn't care. I just slid off my pajama bottoms and pulled the shirt over my head and slipped into the tub, now almost filled with water and bubbles. My whole body was now covered with water and I turned the tap off with my foot. I lay back against the head rest thinking of everything that had been going on lately, in silence as Edward had stopped his knocking. I thought about how the smallest changes had the biggest outcomes and how so many things seemed to be making my life more interesting now that I had Edward in it. I should have known what was about to happen next as the silence rang in my ears but when Edward shot through the bathroom door I immediately shrieked out of instinct.
"Edward!" My voice was higher then usual, "Get OUT!"
I had my arms held in front of my chest covering everything even though I knew the bubbles were enough cover. The look on Edward's face was priceless.
"I," he stopped and just stared at my pale shoulders that were lifted out of the water. I became self conscious of him looking at my body as I was naked in front of him in the water and blushed.
"Sorry Bella, I needed to make sure you were okay." He had turned around to face the door now.
"Well clearly I'm fine."
I sank back down into the bubbles and lifted my hands out of the water playing with them. I watched as Edward walked back towards the door and he surprised me as he just closed it rather then leave. I watched the back of his head as he stayed turned away from me but sat down on the floor. He scooted backwards towards the tub until his back met the side of it and he leaned against it giving a heavy sigh.
"Bella, we need to talk about what just happened."
I stayed silent and just splashed around in my bath water.
"What exactly happened back there?"
I still didn't answer him and continued stacking bubbles on top of each other.
"This is important Bella."
I was staring at the tiles on the ceiling counting them by twos, 2, 4, 6, 8.
"Bella!"
I turned to Edward's voice and saw that he was now facing me with an angered expression on his face. I flinched and frowned as I saw his face in a way that I'd only ever experienced few times before. When I looked back down into my bath water I knew he changed his expression.
"Why won't you talk to me Bella?" His voice came off on a light note but I knew he was getting irritated.
I looked up to him once again and I could tell by the way he looked at me that he was worried about something. It was a look I learned to notice on his face after only a few weeks of knowing him. I lifted my soapy hand out of the water and lifted it towards Edwards face and gently touched his cold skin with my fingertips.
He jumped at my touch. "I'm so sorry Edward."
I took my hand away from his face and looked back down, concentrating hard on the tiny bubbles floating across the surface of the water. When I saw Edward's pale hand fall into the water I jumped as the action startled me. My heart began beating faster and I grew anxious as I felt his hand in the water, very close to my body. I didn't dare look up at him because I knew that the moment I did I would begin blushing. I drew in a jagged breath as Edward's cold hand rested on my side. I could feel his eyes on my face, studying my expression. His hand left my side and trailed up higher along my body until he moved it to my arm, sliding his hand into mine. He lifted my hand out of the water and held it to his cheek, still watching me. I finally picked up enough courage to look at him. His eyes were full of love and wanting.
"I love you, Bella," he said as he nuzzled my hand into his face.
I smiled slightly at his actions and his way of quickly forgiving me.
"I love you too," I replied looking deep into his eyes.
"Do you?" he asked questioningly, looking at me with a raised eyebrow.
I was slightly taken aback by his response and slid my hand out of his as I looked down into the water again. How could he be questioning me about something so important after we've been through so much together. I noticed he sighed slightly and stood.
"I'll wait until you've finished." He turned to the door, walking at a human pace.
"Wait!" I was surprised by how high and eager my voice sounded, "I mean, you can stay if you want."
He gave me a small smile and turned to the toilet rather then to the closed door. He put down the lid and sat facing me in the bath. I decided I'd hurry up and get my bath over with as I became extremely nervous having Edward watching me. I slid down and dunked my head under the water, the bubbles slowly fading. I came back up and began lathering my shampoo into my hair, watching Edward as his eyes shifted from each part of my visible body. I rinsed the shampoo out of my hair and rung the water out of it when I pulled my head out of the water. I reached over for the bar of pink, sweet smelling soap. I quickly washed my body and rinsed off then pulled the plug out with the chain between my toes. I reached over beside the tub to grab one of the towels before all the water was gone and Edward could see my naked body.
When the towel was wrapped securely around me I walked over to where Edward was sitting, feeling fully refreshed and in a good mood. "How was it?"
He smiled playfully at my question. "Amazing."
He had whispered it slowly and stood, closing the gap between our bodies. His arms rested around my lower back and I wrapped my arms around his neck, leaning into his chest.
"You smell wonderful Bella," he said after taking in a deep intake of breath.
"You smell even better..." I said breathing in his scent from his shirt.
I felt him smile again my hair and he held me closer. I realized Edward had lifted me off the ground and we were now walking out of the bathroom and into the bedroom. He set me down by my bag and continued walking, falling onto the bed. I rummaged through my bag looking for clothes and just pulled out an ordinary pink pair of underwear and bra, along with a big white t-shirt of Edwards that he had given me during the summer. I turned to look at Edward.
"No peaking." His eyes automatically closed.
I turned away from him and pulled on the clothes quickly. I threw my wet hair up into a pony tail and let it fall down my back to air dry. I walked over to Edward's position on the bed and swung one leg over him leaving the other one on his other side, straddling him. He opened his eyes with a smile the second he felt me on top of him. I smiled back looking into his beautiful eyes.
"I really do love you Edward."
He smiled wider, just as I hoped he would and pulled me closer to him by my shoulders. My face was just inches from his and I caught the scent of his sweet breath then closed my eyes and smiled. I felt Edward pull me down to him fully and his stone lips pressed against mine hard. He tangled his fingers into my ponytail still holding me close as I pressed my palms into his chest, holding myself up. His hands slowly found my sides and he playfully turned me onto my back trapping me beneath him. He had one arm next to my head, propping himself up to not squish me and the other was rested on my hip bone. My heart was beating faster and faster with every moment that he touched me and my breathing quickened.
"I just love how I can dazzle you with one touch," his hand tickling my side.
He brought his mouth back to mine and kissed me passionately, causing my heart to beat even faster. He opened his mouth slightly, testing me, and slid his dry tongue lightly over my lips. I moaned into his mouth out of surprise as he ever so gently took my bottom lip between his sharp teeth, allowing himself to experience my body in ways he never had before. His cooled hand began trailing small designs down my bare leg as he moved his mouth to my neck, kissing my favorite pressure point. I pressed against him harder as he slid his tongue down the side of my neck. His hand had been unconsciously sliding under my shirt, up my upper leg. I stiffened as his hand made contact with me and it surprised me. Realizing what made me jump, Edward pulled his hand away from me quickly and placed it on the other side of my head. I looked up into his eyes and he stared down at me, waiting until our breathing returned to normal.
He placed a soft kiss on my forehead. "Sorry," he said simply, looking sheepishly into my eyes.
"For what?" I asked. I didn't want him to think he did something wrong, I mean...he is a man after all and he can't ignore what he wants.
"For getting carried away, I'm sorry."
Our noses were now practically touching as we looked each other in the eyes.
"Don't be sorry for it Edward," I didn't feel he should be sorry for it.
"I frightened you."
Is that what he thought? "You surprised me."
"I won't do it again."
"Why not?" I asked with a twisted expression, not exactly meaning it to slip from my mouth. Not that it mattered or not, I just wanted Edward to know that I was okay with it. I felt my face turn a deep red as my neck got hotter.
Edward laughed at my blush as I tried to hide my face in his chest. "Because, if I start I might not be able to stop."
He was leaning into my ear whispering gently as he trailed his lips across it. "Is that a bad thing?" I asked but he ignored me and turned to his side pulling me against his chest.
"How about we talk now?"
I'd hoped that I'd be able to distract him from that by keeping busy with something else. I was stuck now.
"What do you want to talk about?" I asked happily, playing dumb.
"You know what Bella," he said sternly, "Why did you do that earlier?"
I could tell he was refraining from going into great detail about it and I was thankful for that. But he asked me a question I didn't know the answer to and was waiting for the answer.
"I don't know why I did it Edward," I began twirling a loose thread around my finger, "I don't know what came over me but I got a really weird feeling and just felt like I needed to taste it from you."
He was silent after I'd spoken and I knew he was thinking. "Hm," he finally said, "That's really strange."
"Tell me about it," I rolled my eyes and rested my cheek against his shoulder, looking up at him.
"Something really weird is going on Bella," he concluded after a few more minutes of scattered thoughts, "I think we should tell Carlisle."
"NO!" I said quickly, not eve sure why. "It's nothing Edward, you really just worry too much."
"I hope so."
I knew he'd tell Carlisle about it anyways. Something weird definitely was going on but I couldn't point out what. Maybe it was good if Carlisle knew.
"Alice is coming in," I looked at him, "You might want to cover up."
He smiled as I looked down and noticed my shirt was pulled up above my bellybutton showing me in my underwear. I pulled it down with a small blush and incomprehensible mutterings just seconds before Alice burst into the room.
"I have excellent news!" She exclaimed as she held her arms out to either side.
"Are we going home?" I asked.
"No," she replied.
"You had a vision of my and Bella getting married again?" Edward asked.
"No..." she said, bored.
I shot Edward a look but smiled. We both looked at her expectantly then Jasper walked into the room.
"She's discovered a fair in town." Jasper rolled his eyes and pulled Alice into a chair with him.
The expression on Alice's face fell and she turned to Jasper, "Jazz! I wanted to tell them!" She sat into his lap as he was pulling her towards him playfully.
"You know you love me," he half whispered into her shoulder, causing her to smile.
"And you're lucky I do," she turned to Edward and I, "What do you guys say?"
"YES!"
"No," was obviously Edward's response.
We both turned to each other and shot glares which quickly turned into smiles.
"Don't you mean yes sweetie?" I asked him with my sweetest voice, smiling like crazy.
"I believe I meant no sunshine," he said with a matching smile and equally happy.
I turned my face into a fake pout. "But we could have so much fun! Just think about it."
I swung over him and kissed the tip of his nose before hopping off the bed. I pulled on the pair of track pants sitting on the top of my bag, as I realized everyone watching me.
"Come on Alice," I said when I was done, "Lets go for a walk and let the boys think."
I walked over to Alice and Jasper in the chair and pulled her off of him. She came willingly as I puled her out the door, turning to flash our boyfriends a smile. "Think long and hard boys."
We walked out of the suite door and into the quiet hallway with a few maids and bellhops crossing between rooms.
"Do you think they'll say yes?" I asked Alice.
"Don't worry they will." She winked at me and I knew she must have had a vision. She pulled me down a hallway and led me to the elevators.
"Where are we going?" I asked as Alice pressed the bottom floor in the elevator.
The elevator gently started moving downwards. "We're going to get you something to eat, then we're going swimming."
"Alice, did you happen to notice what I have on?" I asked giving her a funny look.
"Were going back upstairs first silly! Jasper and Edward are coming with us."
"Alice! If you think I'm wearing that skimpy―"
"It'll be fine Bella."
I rolled my eyes at her as the elevator door opened and I walked out in front of her. She came up beside me and linked arms with me as we usually did when we walked and led me to a dining hall where I could hear morning chatter. I looked above the entrance and saw a beautiful clock saying it was only 10:00 am. It seemed much earlier. Alice pulled me into the room and led me to a table with a bunch of food laid on top.
"Here," Alice said handing me a container, "Get your food and we'll go back upstairs."
I walked to one of the tables and filled my container with mixed fruit and placed a croissant on top then closed it.
"Ready," I said to Alice and grabbed her by the arm as I caught three guys staring at her from a table nearby.
"I was enjoying that!" Alice said in a fit of mock anger.
"I'm sure Jasper would have enjoyed it just as much," I paused, "Snapping their heads off!"
Alice gave me a look that said she knew I was right. We were waiting by the elevator for it to come back from the upper levels and I leaned against the wall absentmindedly chewing on a piece of croissant. I quickly turned my head, ready to ask Alice something when my eye caught something or rather someone dodging behind the sofa in the lounge.
"Alice did you just see that?" I asked her hoping she had.
"See what Bella?" She looked around frantically as if to find what I was talking about.
"Nothing." Maybe I'm going crazy.
Alice gave me a look that made me feel like and alien as the elevator dinged to make its arrival known. We stepped into it and pressed fifteen, waiting until we got to our floor. We stepped into the hallway when the elevator finally arrived and I followed Alice as she led us back to the suite.
She stopped outside the door with her hand just waiting above to handle. Then she smiled.
"Edward's waiting for you. Hurry up and eat then meet us at the pool."
She turned around and walked into her own suite instead of min. I opened the door awkwardly, trying to balance my container in one hand and finish my croissant in the other. I walked through the suite and into the bedroom to see Edward looking through his bag humming my lullaby. When I entered the room he turned to smile at me but kept humming as he knew I liked it. I sat in the chair where Jasper had sat earlier and ate some of the fruit I had. Edward had finally found what he was looking for―his bathing suit―and was now changing in the bathroom.
I finished the last of the food and walked to the bathroom door waiting for Edward to finish so I could get my bathing suit. He was taking quite a long time just to put on a pair of swimming trunks. I tapped lightly on the door.
"Edward?" I said through the door when he didn't answer to my knock.
"Just give me a minute Bella."
I stood against the wall with my arms crossed and my foot tapping against the floor. He finally came out with a smile on his face and wearing just his black swim shorts. He walked up to me and kissed the top of my head.
"Hurry up and get your bathing suit on."
I watched him walk to the chair I'd been sitting in as I pulled the bathroom door shut behind me. I saw my bathing suit in the same spot as I'd put it the night before. The green material was still damp as I pulled it on in the corner of the bathroom. I knew I wouldn't be able to tie the strings around my neck without any help so I pulled my shirt back on, holding the strings out. I walked back to the door and pulled it open to find Edward in the exact same spot as before.
"Edward, can you help me?" I stood in the doorway with the strings held out to him in one hand and my hair pulled off my neck with the other.
He smiled and walked over to me. "Of course."
He took the stings from my hand and his cool fingers tied it into a bow behind my neck.
"Thanks," I said, then he pulled on my hand leading me towards the door.
"Let's go they're waiting!"
I could tell from his voice that he was eager to be going swimming and I couldn't help but give a small laugh as he pulled me out the doorway. We took the elevator to the tenth floor and passed the games room and auditorium until the smell of chlorine filled our noses. The sound of screaming kids and splashing water filled out ears. We walked into the pool area and were greeted by Jasper and Alice waving from the corner, sitting on the same plastic beach chair. We walked over towards them, hand in hand, and Edward pulled my into his lap as we sat on the chair beside them.
Alice looked at me excitedly. "Did he tell you yet?"
"Tell me what?" I asked looking to Edward.
"We're going to the fair!" She looking like she'd die of happiness―if that were possible.
"We are?" I exclaimed excitedly. I turned to put my arms around Edward's neck and hugged him tightly.
"We're going to have so much fun!" I almost found myself squealing with delight but stopped myself, "Let's go swimming."
Me and Alice stood off of our boyfriends laps and lifted the shirts we had on over our heads. We threw the shirts onto the deck beside the boys and I looked back to Edward and Jasper.
"Let's go." Alice winked at them and we crept to the edge of the pool ready to jump in.
When I looked back, I noticed Edward was staring at every inch of my body and taking it all in. He looked to my face and I gave him a smirk and raised my eyebrows before jumping into the water to cover myself. The next thing I knew Jasper and Edward were in the water with Alice and I tackling us towards the middle of the pool.
"Ah, stop!" I shrieked as both Jasper and Edward began splashing water at us.
I ducked behind my arms and fled to the other end of the pool. Just when I thought I got away I felt cool arms snake around my waist.
"And where do you think you're going?"
I turned around and came face to face with a smiling Edward. "Oh no!"
I tried to swim out of his grasp but to no prevail. I noticed that across the pool Jasper was doing the same, trying to corner Alice. Edward wrapped his arms around my tighter and shoved me gently against the side of the pool. He gave me a smirk and leaned in closer to my face, barely an inch away.
"I love you."
He leaned in going to close the last bit of space between us and just as I closed my eyes ready to kiss him I felt myself flying threw the air then my body hit water again and I was falling deep into the deep end of the pool. I spread my arms and pulled myself back up quickly, above the water. When I got to the top I was greeted with a spitting and spattering Alice and a laughing Edward and Jasper.
"That was so not funny," I said as I rubbed water out of my eyes and swam over to Alice.
"We're gonna pay you back for that!" Alice said to the boys, still laughing in the corner, "Are you alright?"
She turned to me and placed a hand on my shoulder. "Yeah, fine."
She smiled at me and pulled my lightweight body into the corner beside her.
"How are we gonna get them back this time?" she asked in a barely audible whisper.
"We could always give them a little scare tonight at the fair." I said with a wink.
She got what I was saying and seemed to think it was a good idea as she swam away from me back towards Jasper and Alice. I quickly followed and swam into Edward's arms that he had open for me.
"That wasn't funny Edward." I smiled at him knowing that he'd be pissed tonight after me and Alice's plan.
"You should have seen your faces!" Jasper and Edward began doing their uncontrollable laughter again and Alice and I just rolled our eyes at them.
We all continued swimming and just enjoying ourselves in the pool until my body got so waterlogged that it almost started to hurt. The cuts on my arms were healing tremendously and a layer of skin had healed over them. I knew that if I applied to much pressure though they would break open. After another couple of splashes and a throw into the pool we got out and made our way back upstairs.
"So we'll run in, lose them, then just wander around until they get really scared that we're lost?" I confirmed with Alice.
"Exactly, it's a great idea."
Alice and I were sitting on the edge of my bed discussing the last of our plan. Edward and Jasper had just left the room to go pick up the silver Volvo and said they'd meet us out front in five minutes. Me and Alice had been so excited to go to the fair the we threw our hair up into loose ponytails and pulled on some clothes. I had on black capri's and a white t-shirt, whereas Alice was wearing a fair of faded jeans and a black top.
"Ready?" Alice asked as she pulled a tube of lip gloss out of her bra and began spreading it on her lips.
"Let's go."
I stood up and walked to the door, grabbing the key on the way out. We made our way downstairs and after the lady at the desk said a quick goodbye we pushed to revolving door and walked through it, waiting for Jasper and Edward.
"What's taking them so long?" I asked.
"No idea, but it better be damn important!"
I laughed at Alice's impatience and casually leaned against the outside railing as I waited for the boys. After another complain from Alice I heard car tires squeal and the silver Volvo was directly in front of us with Jasper leaning out the back window smiling.
"Hop in ladies."
I pulled open the front door and sat down beside Edward. When Alice was snug in the backseat with Jasper, we took off at a high speed like usual. I had no idea exactly where the fair was so I just sat against the door and listened to the soft music in the background. Nearly ten minutes later I noticed the car slowing down then coming to a complete stop. The whole car was lit up with funny colors and I noticed many people streaming past the car. I looked out my window to see a huge ferris wheel, mini roller coaster, haunted house and a tree-hedge maze in front of us along with a stand selling tickets. Me and Alice looked at each other and huge smiles filled our faces.
"Stay close to Edward and I tonight we―"
We didn't hear the end of what Jasper was saying because we both jumped out of the car and slammed the doors in his face, running towards the ticket stand.
"How many tickets are you gonna get?" Alice asked.
"Well how many is each ride?"
"Well, I dunno."
"Well I don't either. Let's just get thirty-five to be safe."
We were so excited to actually be out at the fair that we didn't even pay attention when Edward and Jasper slid up behind us placing bills on the counter paying for our tickets.
"Thanks!" I said as I grabbed my tickets and spun around placing a kiss on Edwards forehead. Well at least I thought it was Edward.
"Oh, sorry." I was looking into Jaspers smiling face and my face reddened. I felt Edward pulled me from Jasper and he smiled down at me.
"You're crazy Bella." He placed a light kiss on my lips and we followed behind Alice and Jasper now walking towards the ferris wheel.
We stepped into the line behind about ten other people and waited until it was our turn.
"Edward, you better be coming in with me," I said as the line was shortening and the guy at the front was helping people into the baskets.
"Are you scared?" he said teasingly.
"Actually, yes. I'm scared of heights."
He laughed lightly and kissed my cheek. "Don't worry Bella, I'll ride with you."
It was finally our turn to get into a basket and I hopped in beside Edward after handing the man four tickets. As the ferris wheel began moving to allow other people in I felt my stomach flutter as it always did when I knew I would be going high up. Edward somehow sensed my anxiousness and grabbed onto my hand. The ferris wheel creaked slightly as it stopped with Edward and I nearly at the top. I had my eyes shut tightly together, squeezing Edwards hand and I felt us start to tip back.
"Look Bella, I can see Jasper and Alice."
My eyes shot open as it felt like we were going to spin all the way around and I gave Edward an evil look.
"Don't do that Edward!"
"You have to get over the fear someday."
He smiled and winked at me and I just shut my eyes again, ignoring him. The ferris wheel began moving again, this time in continuous circles around and around. I could tell by the motions that we were nearing the top again and I felt Edward lean into my ear.
"It's okay Bella, just look."
His soft voice tempted me to open my eyes, and I did. We were now at the top of the ride and I could see out far over all the fair grounds and to the highway. I noticed the other things at the fair―go karts, bumper cars and game stands―and all the beautiful lights that went along with it lighting up the half dark sky. I looked at the horizon and could just see the tip of the orange sun sinking behind it.
"It's twilight, Bella."
He whispered into my ear so softly and I remembered all the times we had spent in our meadow, waiting for twilight, or just sitting on my roof during the summer enjoying each other. I turned to him with a delighted look on my face.
"I love you."
He smiled and kissed my ear in response and we sat watching the sunset until the ride was over. We stepped out of the cart and walked over to the waiting couple standing by a fountain. When we walked up to them Jasper looked up at us expectantly.
"What next?"
Before anyone else could answer, I did. "The maze!"
Alice looked at me and smirked. "Excellent idea Bella."
We all walked over to the entrance of the hedged maze and handed the guy the three ticket requirement to enter. This should be fun. Me and Alice walked behind Edward and Jasper talking lightly with them. When they were both into a deep conversation about cars me and Alice slowed our pace down and fell out of step with them. Alice motioned for me to climb on top of her back so I hopped on. With another look at the boys, she hopped through the hedge and pulled us through to the other side, out of the sight of Edward and Jasper.
"That should get them looking for a while."
Alice and I laughed as we began walking down the row at a normal speed.
"I wonder how long it will take them to realize we're gone." I said as we turned a corner and fell into a dead end.
"They'll probably get to the end of the maze, they seemed to be in a pretty heated discussion."
We turned around to find our way back again when Alice put her finger to her lips to silence me.
"They're somewhere close," she whispered almost to low for me to hear, "I can hear them talking."
I tried to strain my ears to hear them but stopped when I realized it was no use.
"Can't Edward hear your mind?" I asked, wondering why they hadn't found us sooner.
"I can block him out now, remember?"
I remembered how in the summer I tried to help Alice learn to block Edward out as much as she could. I never expected it to work, but after following the advice I gave her for a few weeks she managed to master it.
"I think they're around the corner!" I looked around the edge of the hedge and sure enough I could hear the voices of Jasper and Edward. They seemed to be walking at a humanly speed.
Alice turned back to me. "You go this was," she pointed in the opposite direction of Edward and Jasper, "And I'll go this way."
She turned to the right back into the dead end and pushed the bush aside and hopped through. I took her advice and quickly ran down the way she had pointed for me to go. It took me all of ten seconds to feel alone and lost. When I was with Alice I hadn't noticed how dark it had been and now I realized that I could barely see my hands in front of me. I felt my way along the walls of the maze until I felt another opening. I turned and kept walking and walking hoping to soon find somebody.
I was really starting to feel uneasy. As I turned in circles squinting my eyes to make out something in the darkness the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end. My heart began to race and I felt the need to run. Even though I knew no body was around, I could feel eyes staring into the back of my head. My heart pounded against my chest and a slight sweat was breaking out on my forehead. When I finally found enough courage to turn around and look to see if someone was there I heard a branch break in front of me.
"Who's there?" I asked, my voice uneasy.
I heard a cackled laugh coming from in front of me. It sounded oddly familiar.
"Edward is this your idea as some kind of sick joke?"
When I felt a hand push me to the ground and smack a rock on my head, I knew it wasn't Edward. A darkness swept over me just as I felt cool arms slip around my body, lifting me up.
I came back to consciousness and I couldn't hear properly. My head was twisted in the awkwardest way and I had something worse then a migraine. I opened my eyes and realized that my face was pressed against someones chest, staring into a dark blue shirt. My vision was blurry but when I turned my head to look at my captor there was no mistaking who it was...
I passed out again at the sight of him.
A/N: Hey guys! Hope you liked this chapter! I know it took me a really long time to update but I've been pretty busy with finals and stuff. I'm sure most of you can guess who it was that kidnapped Bella from the maze, but for those of you that don't, you'll find out in the next chapter. Thanks for all the reviews I really appreciate it! Tell me if you think this story is completely boring, cuz I'm sort of starting to feel like I'm just writing stuff that no one likes anymore. I don't really know why, maybe it's just because I'm having a hard time writing it. I'm not sure but whatever, hope you enjoyed!
