Hey guys! I'm back! Sorry I took so long to update. My life is getting ..busy. Lol, I really am sorry about taking so long. And oh yes, I am really sorry my last update was pretty bad editing. I didn't have that long, for I'm finishing this in the library, and it doesn't capitalize the words for me anymore. Sorry again, I'll try harder.
Well enjoy!

The cool air brushed against my exposed flesh. Goosebumps erupted on my skin and sent shivers down my spine. The only sounds that were made were our breathing and the animals nearby of a rustling bush and leaves. Why we went into the forest after being kidnapped? I'll never know. Stupid idea! Stupid Edward, stupid James! UGH!
"Why are we walking around IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, in A FOREST?!" I scream, letting my frustration out on the wrong person. Animals and birds erupt from the bushes and trees nearby, startled by my voice. My face burned in irritation. My eyes were watery and my breathing was erratic. My fists were clenched at my sides, wanting to do nothing but punch someone, or something. This, even in my aggravated state right now, knew that, that would be a bad idea.
"Bella, I know you're mad. But right now, if you want to get out of here, without James acknowledgement, it would be good for you not to fight me on this, and actually listen to me. I said, before we even came in here that being out in the open and on the road, in sight; would not be a great idea right now. So, we're not in "The middle" Of the forest, we are right by the road, hidden by the cars, but enough to see the road. See?" Edward stated calmly as he pointed over to the small hidden road.
As I looked over to the small dimly lit road, a tear slipped down my cheek. I angrily brushed it away and continued on walking.
For all that has happened to me in the last 48 hours, I would be able to write a book on just my damn feelings. It seems as if nothing has gone right. I can't even begin to fathom what my parents have been going through right now. It sick and sad to say, this probably bonded them. And they should have bonded before them. I mean, if they hadn't argued, I wouldn't have left. I'm not posting the blame on anyone except myself for going out at such a late hour anyways. Most importantly, it wasn't my self's fault anyway nor Edwards or our parents. It was that sick fucker, James fault and whomever he is working with.
"Look, Bella. I know you're upset. I am too. You're not the only one who wants to get out of this mess. I want to get out too. It's neither of our faults, ya know…Just, come on. We have to work together, alright?" Edward asked, standing in front of me.
Just as I was about to answer, a car backfiring brought us out of the bubble we were in and fired back into reality faster than a bullet. I shook my head, thinking irrational thoughts when the car backfired again. "Oh my lord! SHUT U-" I was cut off from another rant when Edwards hand flew over my mouth. Just as I was about to bite him, something he said made everything in my body still.
"That's James van. Be quiet, let's stand behind some trees, he must've went back for it and he's looking for us. Otherwise, he wouldn't have driven down this path" Edward whispered into my ear quietly.
Adrenaline pulsed through my veins. Breaking out in a cold sweat I nodded my head in agreement. He took that as a sign to pull his hand away, for which I was grateful for. He tasted like dirt. The fear in which my body was now accustomed to made me move faster than which I would have usually moved.
As James god forsaken truck drove by, me and Edward jumped behind a huge tree. (A/N; Much like the one in new moon where Edward breaks up with Bella in the woods –The one behind where Edward is standing- Random). The quietness of the forest made the ringing in my ears, nonstop. Besides the cars low engine humming, and our breathing. There wasn't much to listen to, or much that I paid attention too.
After his Van had past, it seemed like we could finally breathe. "Edward," I panted. Sounding as if I had just finished a 22 mile marathon. "Yeah Bella?" He panted back. "I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but maybe we should follow him." I bit my lip, waiting for his reaction, which I knew wouldn't be a good one.

"WHAT?! Are you insane? We can't just go LOOKING for the guy who KIDNAPPED US! HOW HARD DID YOU HIT YOUR HEAD?! I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE YOU WOULD THINK LIKE THIS! WHATS THE MATTER WITH YO-" I silence himn with my hand, like he had done to me before.
"LISTEN, to me! I mean, we stay hidden, but obviously this path LEADS to somewhere, somewhere HE WAS going to take us! And to me, it doesn't sound like a good place at all. He is a bad person! And if we don't find out what might've happened to us, or save someone else whom is in a worse predicament than we were, the we will regret this! Or wait, if that didn't sell, THINK OF THIS. IF WE DON'T FIND OUT WHAT HE'S DOING WHEREVER HE MIGHT'VE TOOK US, HE'S GONNA COME BACK TO US! He was gonna take us up there, and we weren't gonna come back!" I spat.
The silence between us were uncomfortable, and if I hadn't been so pissed off, I might've pissed myself at the death glare and flaring nostrils Edward was giving me. Between his heaving chest and erratic breathing, I would say that he looked like he was ready to explode. I bit my lip as I processed what might've happened to us. It wasn't good. And I didn't really want to think about it. It must be bad, if James didn't care that we listened in on his conversation with his friends. If he had attended for us to live, he wouldn't have over said anything would could have heard. But he did, and that didn't sound like a good thing.
As these thoughts flew in about out of my brain, tears streamed freely down my face, in waterfalls of unhappy thoughts. As if that hadn't been the breaker on my idea, the sobs sure did it. Edwards face visibly softened and he placed his hands on my cheeks, bringing me closer to his chest. As if on cue, the dam broke and the tears and sobs racked through my small body. He held me tighter, and even impossibly closer. After a few moments, he pulled back and looked softly at me before kissing my forehead.
"Alright baby, lets follow him." He whispered.
