A/N: Okay, here is chapter two, as promised. You know the drill, review and stuff ;)

Chapter Two

I was moving. I felt a soft jostle as whatever I was in went over a bump. What am I in? oh yeah, the car… I tried to blink my eyes but they didn't want to open. My muscles slightly ached in protest as I tried to move. Keeping my eyes closed, I tried to keep my breathing even so I didn't have a panic attack, even though it would be totally legitimate in this situation.

"Sorry I had to do that to you. But you were starting to panic and I didn't want to get in an accident." A male voice said. I moved up to sit straighter, ignoring my aching body, and finally opened my eyes. I looked over to the man. He's pretty attractive, defined jaw, bronze hair that has the post sex messiness, hypnotizing green eyes and mmm the smell of vanilla. I know that face, but who is it? I studied his face a moment longer. "What, you don't remember me?" I shake my head, but he's looking at the road so I answer out loud as well.

"No."

"I'll give you a hint, it starts with the letter E and we met in elementary school." Elementary? Elementary school? E? Who did I know in elementary? Uhh Eli? Edmund? Edward? "Edward." he sighs, just as I thought it. I nod once and look back to the road. It's just starting to get dark and all I can see ahead of us is paved road and the blur of the green trees. So what now? "We're gonna have to get a new car." Weird, it's like he knows what I'm thinking.

"What why?"

"Because we clearly can't use this one anymore. If someone saw us drive away, they'll probably think I kidnapped you."

"You did." I say flatly and give him a blank stare. "Why did you?"

"For you of course." He smirked at me. For me? How is this for me? I look back to ask but decide otherwise as his facials say he is not in the mood to hold a conversation. Hmm, Edward. Edward, Edward, Edward. Ohh yes. 6th grade English. He sat right behind me in Mr. Dowers' class. But what would he want with me now, that was almost 9 years ago…

It was dark and we had been driving for at least a half hour since I woke up. We didn't talk anymore, the only sound in the cramped car was the dark sounds of the Neighbourhood playing quietly in the background. He moved the car to the far right of the road and signalled to turn into the mall, the first thing I've seen. The only vehicle in the lot was a beige SUV. He pulled in next to it and we sat there quietly. I was contemplating all the possible actions I could take to escape this, knock him out, break the windo- "Don't even think about it, I'd catch you before you got anywhere, plus you have no idea where you are." I glanced at him through the corner of my eye, oddly not feeling scared or in danger; he was looking straight ahead with the light from the mall casting a shadow of the side of his face that I could see. His eyes looked pensive and his mouth pursed in a straight line. Suddenly looking at me then bending down to the pocked in the door on the drivers' side. He pulled out what looked like another makeup wipe and my eyes widened. "Don't worry, not for you this time. I've been studying this SUV beside us and think its owners are 2 females," he handed me a wipe.

"Are you crazy? I am not doing this!" he ignored my statement and continued telling me what to do.

"When they come out put this over the nose and mouth until you see her eyes droop. Don't worry these ones aren't strong enough to knock them out but just enough for us to be able to maneuver them. We're going to take that car." I looked at him in horror, he wants me to knock someone out and steal a car? "We'll put them in the back seat and then continue on our way." Sure enough just as he finished telling me his plan 2 blondes walked out of the mall with bags in each of their hands. One locked up the mall so I assumed they owned it. We waited a few moments as they crossed the parking lot to the vehicle. The taller blonde had already taken out her keys and unlocked it. He motioned for me to get out and go to the shorter one and for some reason, I did.

"Hi." I said shyly, and Edward got out of the car and walked around the back locking the doors. He nodded at me and I covered the girls mouth and nose. Oh my god. She fell limp in my arms. I had a little difficulty opening the back door and was about to hoist her in when I felt Edward take her from me and place her in the SUV. He closed the back door and opened my door for me. I looked at him and he motioned for me to get in, so I did. He walked around the front of the car and got it. The inside of the car was spacious. It had fake leather interior in beige, the front seat was a bench seat just like the back seat. I looked at the girls and they looked out of it. He started the car and smoothly pulled out of the parking lot. We continued on from the road we came. Now it was almost fully dark outside and the only light we got was from the headlights of the car and occasional street lights. Abruptly he turned left onto a dirt road.

It wasn't too bad at first but started to get bumpy. By now both girls were starting to come too. We hit a big bump and I was caught off guard; my head colliding with the handle behind me created a semi-loud bang. The sudden halting of the car threw me forward and I stopped with my hands and chest on the dashboard. I heard Edward move around a bit. Groaning, I started to right myself in my seat but when I turned to look at him he had a small gun pointed at me, I froze. Wide eyed I shook my head.

"What was that?" he demanded.

"We just went over the bump and my head hit the handle, I swear." I said using my hands to exaggerate my point. He lifted an eye brow and shook his head.

"I don't believe that. I think you know them Bella. And that was supposed to be some sort of distraction so they-" he waved the gun between the two of them, "-could implement some sort of plan." The taller blonde stepped in this time.

"No I swear we don't know her, just let us go and we won't say anything, just right here is fine, we'll walk. I promise we don't know her. Please, I'm too pretty to be kidnapped and killed. Plea-" frustrated, he opened the door and got out. He opened her door as well and pulled her out. He ushered the other girl out as well then slammed the door closed. I heard two shots. My hands flew to cover my mouth to stop and escaping sob. I didn't know them but they sure didn't deserve this. He got back in the car and looked at me.

"Did you…" I couldn't finish the sentence.

"No, they're alive." He said sharply. I breathed a momentary sigh of relief, until the gun was once again pointed at me. "Bella." He said sternly.

"Please don't, I really didn't know them." I begged. I heard the bang and felt a pain in my knee. A few tears escaped my eyes but I promised myself not to cry and give him the satisfaction.

"It just scraped the top of your skin, don't worry, no permanent damage. It's just a warning. I don't want you running away or trying anything." I turned away and looked out the window. He sighed and I felt him grasp my chin and turn my face toward him. His face was really close. I tried to back up but he followed and leaned in. I froze, he took the opportunity to lean all the way over and kiss me. He started softly and grew more fierce. When he realised I wasn't responding he sighed and pulled away. Turning back to face the road he started the car and continued driving. My mind was running a million miles an hour and I didn't know what to do, so I just sat there watching the road.

Eventually we pulled up to a smaller run down motel. He got out and made his way around to my door, opening it before I even had my seatbelt off. He opened the back door and searched through the girls shopping bag pulling out a long scarf and wrapped it around my shoulders. The ends of the scarf hung down below my knees. He wrapped his arm around my waist and lead me through the doors of the motel.

"My girlfriend and I need a room for tonight please." Girlfriend? She looked at me and then to him skeptically but when he handed over his credit card she handed over a room key. He took back his card and we headed down the long hallway. The red carpet was stained and the air smelled of smoke. 12, 14, 16… 18 our room. Edward turned to put the key in and had to jiggle the door a couple times as well as give a shove with his shoulder. The door swung open and he ushered me in, closing and locking the door behind him. After leading me to the bed he pushed me to a seating position and walked to the bathroom. There was some banging and he came out a moment later carrying a first aid kit. He lifted the scarf to reveal the blood on my dress. Oh, that's why we needed that. He then lifted my dress and proceeded to clean the small wound and cover it with gauze and medical tape. Once he was done he walked around the bed and pulled down one side of the covers.

"Common, get in." I hesitated. "I promise no more harm will come to you tonight, Bella." he said resigned. I took little comfort in his words but I really was tired so I moved to lay in the bed. He pulled the comforter up and tucked me in then kissed my forehead and made his way to a chair in the corner. I was thankful for that, I wasn't ready for him to join me in the bed yet. Everything went black as unconsciousness quickly took over my tired form.
