My head was still pounding when she all but drug me out of the convenience store. I was ushered toward a sleek black corvette, with dark tinted windows. After she roughly pushed me towards the passenger side, I acquiesced and folded myself in. I took note that the car was already running and ready to go, not only that, but strategically placed.

My thoughts must have been all over my face, because she leaned forward, until we were nose to nose. "Hey pretty boy, if you try anything funny. It's your ass. It's a rare occasion that I miss my mark. Capiche?"

Before I could answer, she slammed the door and darted around to her side. I barely regained my bearings before we sped off into traffic. The gears in my mind spun at a furious pace as one lone puzzle piece clicked into place.

She didn't take one single item, no cash.

Who and what the hell was she after? She didn't try to chase the blonde guy.

Only me.

Me.

Me.

This was planned!

"Well, you're an observant little shit, aren't you?" She deadpanned, eyes straight forward on the road.

Apparently my brain to mouth filter wasn't working, and I had spoken aloud. "But why? How did you even know where I'd be?"

Her eyes flickered to me briefly before she refocused on the road, "You ask too many questions, just sit back and enjoy the scenery."

I stared at her. Blinked once, twice. Then I laughed, not humorously, but a knee-jerk reaction to the insanity of it all.

"Are you serious right now!" I snapped. "You barge into a mini-mart, in the middle of Seattle, grab me, abduct me, and you have the nerve to tell me I ask too many questions!"

She didn't flinch at the volume of my voice, never even looked my way. Obviously, my questions fell to deaf ears because I didn't receive acknowledgment or a response. I huffed and stared out at the whizzing scenery. A flash of light caught the corner of my eye. Despite the pain in my head, I whirled around staring out of the back window.

Squad cars, and I'm not talking about one or two, there were about nine officers on our tail. I breathed a silent 'thank you' to whomever was watching over me.

That is, until she snorted flippantly.

"You're not going to outrun them." I stated. A slow smile spread across her face as one perfectly shaped brow rose in challenge.

"You are NOT going to outrun them!" I exclaimed, my voice sounding more demanding. .

"Alright boys, you want to play..." she mumbled to herself quietly, "let's play."

Inertia pinned me to the seat as she floored the Corvette. As she careened into oncoming traffic, she maneuvered, swerving in and out, missing each vehicle by a hair. A keening, braying sound filled the small cab of the sports car. I didn't realize it was me until I felt the back of her tiny hand slam into my chest in irritation.

"Would you shut up! GOD I can't concentrate with you doing that!" She snapped. It was the first time she acknowledged me with any other emotion besides disdain.

"Oh God, we're gonna die. We. Are. Gonna. DIE!" I was having a total meltdown.

Sure, it was a little over the top, but seriously, you wouldn't understand until the grill of a Mack truck is coming straight for you.

This girl, whateverthefuck her name was, dutifully ignored my cries of peril while intently weaving through traffic at an alarming speed. Finally, after blowing through every red light in the Seattle business district, we hit I-5 pushing the motor well over 110 mph.

To say I was losing my shit, would be the understatement of the year.

"Would you please, for the love of God, slow down! You lost the cops fifteen minutes ago!" I screeched.

She scrubbed her hand down her face, her lips twisted in fury. My heart stuttered in my chest as she literally slammed on the brakes, coming to a dangerous sliding stop.

"If you don't shut your FUCKING mouth, I promise you that I will put a bullet in your cranium burying you faster than a fart in a windstorm. Are we clear?"

My mouth dropped open, closed and dropped open again before I managed to squeak, "Crystal!"

I was pinned to the seat once again as we continued south on I-5. I normally had no reason to come this far south, so when we exited the freeway on exit 142B, I realized I had absolutely no idea where we were going.

I'm naturally an inquisitive person, so when the question, "Where are we going?" bubbled up and out of my mouth, I slapped my hand over my mouth, covering my head with my free hand and arm.

I must have looked like a total idiot because the oddest, most spectacular thing happened. She laughed, and I mean a good old throw-your-head-back-gut-warming laugh. Despite the whole ordeal from the moment I met this miniature terrorist, my lips quirked up at her musical laughter.

"Eatonville." She stated simply once she sobered a little, a small smile still on her lips.

"Can I ask you one more thing?" I inquired quietly, taking advantage of her merriment.

"You're pushing it Masen." She huffed, returning to her former self, "But go ahead."

"What is your name?"

She sat in contemplation for a brief moment, her bottom lip disappearing behind her teeth. Her attention was on the road again as she turned off into a covert little trail, barely visible from the main road. She was quiet for so long that I didn't think she would answer. "I don't have a name Edward..." She sighed, pressing her fingertips into her temples, "but, you can call me Bella."

If you guys are wondering about my update schedule, I'm not really sure about it at this point. My goal is once a week! Teasers are going to be posted on Mondays at The Fictionators blog. If for any reason it's not going to be available, I'll make sure you guys know!

Also, I will be posting rec's at the bottom starting next chapter! I didn't really have time today to prepare the links and summaries. If you have any suggestions please PM or Tweet me at MzKKCullen!
