Chapter Twelve: All Things Come to an End Pt. 1

Sorry for the long wait; this is the first of the three part finale for Bring Me to Life; thank you for reading and enjoy the beginning of the end (literally).

I awoke to find Jake still lying under me, the soft rise and fall of his chest pressing against me. I knew that, even with the steady breathing that usually came with sleep, he was awake. I turned on his chest and leaned up, pressing my lips against his. He wrapped his arms more tightly around me, and I turned, kissing him more passionately. Of course, all of this ended with him on top of me and both of us sharing our orgasm for a second time in two days.

"Nice to see you in a better mood." He said, lying down on his side beside me, playing with a strand of my hair.

"I just needed some sleep. It really helped." I replied.

We laid there for a long while. However, as my mind swam with thoughts of all of things that were happening, Jake jolted up.

"Jake, what's wrong?" I asked.

It was like he was in a trance. He pulled on his sweats and opened the window.

"Stay here." He said.

"Wait, Jacob!" I cried.

He jumped from the window. I pulled a sheet around me and ran to the window, looking out to see nothing but busy traffic. However, it was mere moments before the door of the apartment was yanked open. Jake stood there, breathless even for him.

"Get dressed." He ordered.

I dropped the sheet and pulled a pair of sweats from the ground, not knowing whether they were mine or his. I pulled on a bra and shirt quickly, turning to see Jake yanking a green shirt over his head and pulling on a hoody before grabbing his car keys from the counter. I pulled on a hoody and looked at him.

"Come on; we have to go." He said, hurrying out the door.

I ran after him.

"Jake, what's going on? You're scaring me!" I cried.

He turned suddenly in the hallway.

"You should be scared. They'll be here in moments, Bella. All of the world will be attacked."

"The harpies?" I asked.

He shook his head.

"I wish. If only it could be the harpies. We have to keep moving."

He pulled me against him and into his arms bridal style. I clung to him as he ran so fast that we were instantly at the end of the hall. He pulled the window there open and jumped from it. With a rush of wind we landed on the ground. Jake continued to run, though.

I couldn't even see what was in front of me, we were moving so quickly. But just as I began to feel dizzy, it was over. We stopped and I opened my eyes (which had somehow closed). Jake set me down and shook his head as though trying to get something out of his head. However, I looked back from where we were.

We stood on the side of the highway just a few miles away from the city. However, the city was only there for a few moments. The next moment, there was an explosion, the light flaring up powerfully. I closed my eyes and covered my face with my arm.

As the gust of powerful hot air ended, I opened my eyes. Where the city once was there was only ash.

"That is why we had to leave quickly." Jacob said.
