Mariana's Trench: Haven't Had Enough
I could hear the faint chirping of birds in the room like they were right next to my ear whispering secrets to me. When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was just Edward whistling a soft tune. He had my head in his lap and was stroking my hair, looking at me with concerned eyes. Well I don't blame him. I just broke down like a heart broken teenager and flung myself at him. Ok and Jasper, he was there too.
"Morning sleepy head." He smiled at me.
"Dear God Edward! Don't go getting sappy on me! I can read your mind! Remember that? Gosh think those things quieter please!" Jasper yelled from across the room. Not a morning person is he?
"Well guys I don't know what to say, umm us all in a room with free thoughts is not going to end well." I stated, clearly, the obvious. Then I heard footsteps. Loud footsteps. Heavy material boots, like the ones of the guards who man handled me. I motioned for Edward to resume a sleeping position and for Jasper to keep quiet.
The footsteps finally made it to the door after about 10 mins (Cool super hearing!). Then the door flung open and four guards stomped in with an unconscious person, each guard had an arm or leg. It was a guy with dark hair and a strong build. He looked very familiar to me. Three guards stood silent as one addressed us.
"Ok you dumb pigeons, you have a new cell mate. Play nice." The guard sneered.
Then they dropped the guy on the floor and left laughing to themselves. Me, apparently being the only person with a heart in the room, jumped up to go check on the guy to make sure he was ok. I tiptoed over to him and grabbed a muscled shoulder and flipped him on his back, with much struggling I have to admit.
His face was peaceful looking and his skin was tanned to a perfect brown. Then I realized I met this guy before. No wonder he looked familiar. It was the guy from the training room! I don't know what it was but I wanted to reach out and touch him. Surely not warmth this time, it was like a sauna in our cell.
To at least make sure he was alive, I pressed my head to his chest. Surprisingly it was warm. No like really, really warm. I would have guessed it was something like 108.9 degrees. I started to pull my head away when strong arms grabbed me and pushed me back down to his chest. I could hear his heart beat distinctively as my face lit up red and I froze in surprise.
Thud

SNORT
I paused. Snort? Where the hell did that come from?
The snort snapped me out of my thoughts and brought me back to my situation here. The guy, Jacob was it, was deeply asleep apparently. I tried to shove myself away from him but his grip was too strong. I looked around the room helplessly hoping that I could find something to help me out. Nothing turned up. Not even a rock. I tried again and finally got myself free. I rolled over, spy mode and army crawled over to Edward. When I got to him I stopped right next to his body and heard another snort.
I looked at his face for a few minutes and found him making the funniest face in the whole world and then snorted again. Well I found the source. I sat there quietly and waited for him to do it again. But he didn't. Instead he breathed in roughly and rolled over on top of me. I was lying on the ground face down and he was lying on his back on top of me. I could barely breathe much less get the words "Get the freak off me" out of my mouth.
Great Bella. You thought lying on some strangers chest was bad, well look at you now. What am I going to do? Oh yea, Jasper! Hey Jasper! Psst! JASPER! I continued mind-shouting his name until he stirred and looked my way.
"Shhh Bella I'm sleeping over here." He mumbled aimlessly in my direction.
I would love to let you sleep, but if I do Sir Sleeps So Hard As Stone will crush my ribs by the time you wake up! So IF you wouldn't mind. HELP ME! He looked confused for a second and I could see it processing in his head. Are men always this slow in the morning?
"Oh shit. Sorry Bella." Jasper said sleepily as he moved Edward off my crushed body. Then he did the most gentlemanly thing in the world. He went back to sleep.
"Oh Bella are you ok? Oh I'm fine Jasper I was just being crushed by a sleeping sand bag but I'm ok. Oh good Bella you had me worried. Oh thank you so much Jasper." I recited to myself. Chivalry, you know how people say its still alive? Nope they're wrong. It's dead. I stood up as I brushed myself off and looked around the room again. Everyone was sleeping but me.
Everyone was ok with the idea of abandoning escaping but me. Everyone was a guy but me. I'm surprised I haven't been jumped yet. Sighing I tried to lean against the wall to steady myself and make sure all my ribs were intact.
As soon as I put a little bit of my weight against the wall a few stones slipped out of place and fell out on the other side. Shocked I looked out the space I had just created in the wall.
I began pushing some more bricks aside, and sure enough, created a large hole in the wall. And to my surprise the bricks all had just slipped away from each other with only the slightest resistance. I clasped my hands to my head and screamed in my head.
OMG WHY THE… HOW THA… I CANT BELIEVE I JUST DID THAT! HOW COME I DIDN'T DO THAT BEFORE! I AM SUCH A LOSER! NO EDWARD AND JASPER ARE LOSERS! YOU SUCK, YOU SUCK, AND YOU SUCK! MUFFINS!
Jasper jumped up in shock holding his ears in surprise, twisting his face in shock. He gave me daggers and flipped me off. Point for Jasper. I stuck my tongue out at him and then pointed to the hole in the wall in triumph. His jaw went slack and he used the heel of his palm to hit himself in the head, repeating the action until he looked satisfied and walked over to me. Point for me.
"How did you do this?" He whispered to me.
"I just leaned on it and the brick slipped out of place." I whispered back. He looked like he was about to smack himself in the head again, but restrained himself.
"Well then, what the hell are we waiting for?" He shouted and stumbled around over to Edward and shook him like a rag doll until he woke up. "Bella found a way out lets get a move on!" With those simple words said he jumped up and made a B line for the hole in the wall. We were about to escape finally and my only thought was that we couldn't just leave Jacob here. I mean it wasn't big or anything but he helped me and I couldn't just leave him in this dreadful place.
"Jasper wait. Can't we take him with us." I said motioning to Jacob's sleeping figure on the floor.
"I don't think so Bella, we don't know him and for some strange reason he smells like wet dog." Jasper said wrinkling his nose at Jacob.
"Please?" I said making very convincing puppy dog eyes at him.
"No." He responded bluntly.
"I know what you did last summer." I said ominously.
"No." He said unconvinced.
"Yes." I responded evilly.
"What's the hold up guys?" Edward yelled from outside.
"Fine, but if Edward gets mad, this is your fault." He mumbled quickly, sliding Jacob through the hole and following after. Another point for me. I squirmed my way out and on to the sandy beach outside.
"Oh no we're not bringing him Jasper." Edward growled and pointed back to the cell. "Put it back!"
"I can't Edward, she knows what I did last summer." Jasper said whimpering and giving Edward the puppy dog eyes.
"What- she- I- fine." Edward sighed giving in.
It was getting dark and fast. We looked around us making sure no one was watching. The sirens Edward said that were around weren't going off, so we were safe, for now. We ran and ducked behind dumpsters and cages for experiments. We were doing great until a little sparrow that had landed in front of us ever so close to a trip laser stopped us. We all held our breath as Edward tried to shoo it away.
"Go away annoying little birdie. Shoo. Beat it. Scram. GRRRR. Damn nothings working." He turned to Jasper and I for help. "Hey Jas maybe you should show it a picture of your ex girlfriend." He joked. Two more sparrows came.
"Oh yea, show them a picture of your mom!" Jasper yelled.
"That would be your mom too!" Edward countered.
Five more sparrows came. None tripped the laser beam yet, but even more were gathering.
"Stop guys stop!" I said getting a little worked up myself. As soon as I said those words a falcon came and started circling the group of sparrows. He arched his head forward and folded his wings in. He was going to dive in on the sparrows. And better yet he was aiming for one close to the laser beam. "GUYS!" I yelled again and the falcon dove. "Oh shit."
WEOOOOWEOOO ROOOOOROOOO
The alarm sounded and rang loudly in our ears. We all covered them in pain and ran out the gate right in the front of the building. As we got farther away the sound got softer and we slowed to a mild jog. I heard a gasp and a girly scream come from behind me. I turned and saw Jacob fully awake and on the ground pointing at Jasper.
"Why the heck was I on your back!" He yelled in surprise.
"That would be my fault, I thought we should bring you instead of leaving you there." I confessed in a small voice.
"Really that's-…" Jacob stopped mid sentence and looked into the distance." I hear something coming." He said calmly, the fear rising in his voice.
"Oh no." Jasper said.
"They cant." Edward added.
"She's coming for us guys." Jacob finished
"Who?" I asked getting scared and looking into the darkness trying to see the thing coming for us. Something jumped overhead, doing a graceful flip over all of us and landing on the ground, jiggling like a bowl of freefalling jello.
"Bertha." They all said in unison.
