You Remind Me

Chapter 9

Bella's POV

"No, please I didn't mean it. I was just surprised is all." I said softly, not wanting to scare him anymore. He unwrapped himself once more, so I had a perfect view of him. I sat down next to him Indian style and placed the candle next to me. I didn't know what to say. Hi I'm Bella Swan, you must be the boy that's been beaten, and locked up in here for ages, nice to meet you. Ha, yeah right.

"Uh, sir is-is sleeping. He doesn't know I'm here." I stuttered, he swallowed roughly.

"Oh, I didn't even think about bringing you something to drink." I said, feeling stupid. "I'm sorry." I mumbled out ashamed. He shook his head, then grimaced.

"Can you- Uh can you talk?" I asked. He brought his dirt covered hand to his neck, his long fingers delicately touching the base of his throat.

"Do you need water, cause if you do, I'm sure I can sneak-"

"Trouble." he said cutting me off. I shook my head.

"I won't, I'll just be quiet." I reassured him. His eyes widened - showing the fear in his eyes. Was he scared for me? For some reason that thought brought a smile to my face.

"I'll be fine, Edward." I said to him, placing my hand on his shoulder, lightly. He jumped, and backed further to the corner. I hung my head.

"I'm sorry.." I whispered, wretchedly. I sighed deeply and stood quickly from the floor. I whispered to him, that I'll be back one more time, and then climbed my way back through the hole. Once back inside the room, I moved the dresser back and slowly crept out the door. I could hear the loud snoring as I passed sirs' room, causing me to sigh with relief. As I slowly descended the old stairs, they creaked with the force of my step. I squeezed my eyes shut in hope it wouldn't wake him. Finally at the bottom, I ran to the kitchen and grabbed a glass, filled it with water and as quietly as possible walked back up the stairs. As soon as I was back to my door, I listened, to see if sir was awake….he wasn't. I thought with relief, and walked back into my room. As I jumped back into the basement, some of the water spilt causing me to hiss out a, shit. I stumbled my way back to the bundle in the corner now known as Edward, and sat back down. He looked relieved.

"Told you I'd fine." I teased, trying to lighten the mood. I tried to hand him the glass, but he couldn't grip it. I would have to help him…I thought nervously.

"Edward…I have to-um help you." he slowly nodded. I scooted behind him, curling my nose up- as the smell arose from him. With my back against the wall, I ushered him to lean into me so he was sat between my legs. With his back pressed up against my chest, I brought the glass to his mouth and tipped it slightly causing the water to trickle into his mouth. He coughed, and my eyes instantly bugged out in worry, I quickly helped him sit up.

"Edward are you okay." I asked panicked. I heard him chuckle- which caused him to cough more be he still nodded. My heart felt light and fluttery like. It was an odd- different feeling, but I liked it. I giggled.

"Good." I said. He sighed and then fell back to my chest. I automatically felt as one with him. I brought my hand up to his face and stroked his cheek softly. He closed his eyes, and a small off set smile played his lips. There goes that feeling again. Five minutes passed, and I knew I had to get back to bed.

"Edward…" I whispered. He hummed in response.

"I-I have to go." I said getting up, gently laying his torso so it took my place against the wall. He looked as if he was going to cry. He shook his head.

"No." he croaked out. A tear slipped down his cheek. I kneeled down.

"I'll be back. I'll be close to you even when I'm not next to you physically. You see-" I pointed to the hole, "-I'll be in that room. Edward, I'm gonna get us out of here." I said determined. I wiped his tear, and stood.

"I promise, I'll be back tomorrow night."

"Promise." he whispered hoarsely. A smile broke out on my face.

"I promise you Edward, I will be back." I said strong toned. Then he smiled that crooked smile again. He was too beautiful. I waved to him, and climbed back through the wall. I was finally back in my bed with the dresser in its place, before sun-rise. I closed my eyes, and drifted off to sleep.

…

"Elizabeth, wake up." I opened my eyes to sir standing next the bed. I jumped slightly. Be on his good side, Bella. The voice in my head cautioned. I smiled - fake of course, but he falls for almost everything.

"Good morning sir." This caused him to smile widely.

"It is indeed my sweet. Get up, I'll be cooking breakfast." He said cheerfully, and exited the room. It worked, sir is now in a good mood. But he's so bi-polar… so he might change. I shook my head - to clear the thoughts, and started off to get dressed. After I was dressed, I walked down stairs to be greeted by the smell of bacon. I smiled, it smelt delicious. But then thoughts of Edward came to mind and my smile automatically vanished. I felt guilty. He probably hasn't eaten in a while. Sir turned around and smiled,

"Hello darlin', Sleep well?" I just nodded, and sat down at the table. Silently apologizing to Edward for eating when he's in there starving.

Edward's POV

She was more then I imagined. She was like an angel…and I knew I could trust her. The way she smiled, the way she sounded, hell even the way she smelled made me calm. I forgot the whole world, sir, and how to breath as she let me lay against her. It had been so long since I had human contact that was actually affectionate or loving. And I could tell by the way she spoke to me she wasn't gonna hurt me. It's been so long since I felt feelings; but around her I get so many at once. I know my mom sent her to me, I just know. And when I'm well - I know I will be with Bella beside me, I'm gonna make that bastard pay. He's hurt my mom, me, and now Bella…I'm gonna show him what it's like.

An: I know, I know another short Edward's POV, but I just do that to get you in his mind a bit. And I'm sorry about another short chapter, and taking forever to UD… but hey RL is really busy right now. As you can tell Bella's making Edward stronger and he's willing to do more, and at the same time making her believe in herself…Anyways show me some love, and review.

P.s I will be trying to UD 'Off To War' soon. I just have a bad case of writers block for that story. Sorry! D:

Question for the chapter: If you were to write your own book, what would the title be? And what would it be about?
