Bella POV
Wind definitely doesn't do well for already messy hair. I got up from the park bench I was currently sitting on while Jasper dry heaved next to me. He said he could carry me. Liar.
"I'm (gasp) ok. Just (gasp) give me (gasp) a few (gasp) minutes. This is all (hack) (wheeze) part of the plan." He panted collapsing back on the ground as pigeons pecked at his head. I sighed as I fiddled with the bandage on my hand. In quick thinking I busted it up punching a tree out of rage. Now I can see how having the use of both hands would have been helpful right about now.
"I'm gonna take a walk." I sighed standing and trudging away. Thinking about my hand brought on a new hate filled rage for Edward. My beautiful wings that I now loved were gone. They became a part of me and he took them away. The ducks swimming in the pond below me on this bridge. I hopped up and stood on the hand railing looking out over the park.
People. Normal people walking around a normal park living their normal lives. Not knowing the world could be changed drastically in a course of a few days now. And because of Edward I didn't have the power to help stop it. I should be glad that it's not up to me right? Wrong.
In my musings I seemed to have missed two very suspicious looking people walk up behind me on the bridge.
"They are already trying to break into the lab sir." A large girl in all black whispered to a man with a Tom Selleck beard and a red Hawaiian shirt.
"Good is the Avitrax ready?" The Tom Selleck look-alike said not bothering to whisper. A little sure of himself, no?
"Yes and it hasn't been feed in two days. It's extremely hungry and won't eat but the best breed of birds. I think bird kid will be a great addition to the menu." The fat girl laughed, her neck fat jiggling like a vat of jello.
"What about the boy with the claws. What are we to do about him?" Magnum P. Ewww smirked as he took out a pocket watch examining it with boredom.
"He will be taken care of easily. He is not as strong as the bird kids." The girl said looking just as bored.
"Good I might not have to get my hands dirty this time." The man said putting his watch away and dusting off his shirt. "Excuse me miss." I heard the man say behind me. I turned around hiding the look of shock on my face. Maybe he doesn't recognize me.
"Yes mister?" I said looking down avoiding all eye contact.
"Do you happen to have the time. My watch seems to be broken."
"Oh w-well I don't have a watch. S-s-sorry." I said walking away quickly.
"Well it would be nice if you did have the time. Then maybe you would be able to see that your friends are running out of time. You should go back to- what was his name now? Oh yes. Jasper. I am sure the dry heaving has stopped by now." I could hear the amusement in his voice. I turned back around to face him, but he was gone. Only one thing registered after that. Jasper. I ran across the park searching every bench in sight until I spotted the one Jasper was getting sick by just a few minutes ago.
"Jasper!" I yelled my voice growing with fear. That feeling that I had the first time I woke up in my cell was creeping back with a vengeance. Loneliness. "JASPER!"
Edward POV
Walls, potted plants, blank pictures with unknown landscapes all a blur past us as we moved through the maze that was the California Institute of Science. Door after door containing nothing but cages and tools of tourcher and medicine.
"Ok guys, quietly now. We don't want them to know were here." I said in a hushed tone.
"Well what makes you think they don't know we are already here?" Jacob said checking and re-checking doors and hallways for signs of life.
" Someone does know were here." Alice said closing her eyes in thought.
"Who Alice, who?" I said panic setting in.
"Dr. Grant the source of all evil." Alice whispered in a monotone voice.
"Why didn't you tell us before." Jacob said his face growing red as he clenched his teeth to keep from yelling.
"All is playing out like it should." Alice whispered and opened her eyes thoughtfully. "Though you should know-." She began before a scream erupted from her throat as Bertha bounded up behind her and grabbed her at the neck.
"Bertha no!" I yelled as she took a second to look at me thoughtfully.
"I'm sorry Edward. You know I can't help you now." She said and threw Alice over her shoulder as Alice passed out from the lack of oxygen. I ran at her ready to fight when she opened a door and disappeared through it.
"Well don't just stand there staring at the door, let's go!" Jacob said already running through the door and disappearing in the darkness.
"It's time." I said stepping through the door to my fate that lay before me.
