Now, I was fully awake. Surprised, I looked down to see that his arms were around me, his hands entwined with my own. He was leaning against the door, seemingly comfortable. Before I thought about what to do next, there was a loud banging against his door.

"Edward! Offen!"

"Edward! Wake up!" I whispered.

I shook Edward, and he came awake with a jolt. He stood up quickly, bringing me up with him. Hearing the banging, he leaned up against the door, prepared for a break in. But as he was locking the door, I heard a familiar voice.

"Bella? It's us!"

"Wait! Unlock it!" I pushed Edward out of the way, swinging the door open. And standing there was Jasper and Alice. I rushed forward to embrace them. Looking around the hallway, I pulled them both in, closed the door, and locked it. When we were safely inside, I looked over and saw Jasper hug Edward and slap him on the back. Alice looked at me, then back at Edward.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"I might say the same thing! Why aren't you out of here?" I countered.

"James and his cohorts were rounding the prisoners up. It's a massacre out there! We didn't have anywhere to go, we were trapped. Everywhere we turned, people were being shot down in front of us, leaving no room to escape. We wouldn't have made it out alive."

"I am just glad you are alive." I hugged her again. I was thinking about all of the poor dead people out there, when a horrifying thought came to me.

"Papa!" I gasped. I turned and ran out the door.

I heard a gasp, pulling me away from my conversation with Jasper. I looked over to Alice and Bella, only to see Alice standing alone, a stricken look on her face. Stopping him mid-sentence, I rushed past Jasper, and I ran out the door. When I got outside, I saw Bella running in the middle of the mess, towards the male prisoner quarters. I ran after her huffing. I caught up with her, grabbing her around the waist. She struggled, panicked.

"Shh...it's just me." I whispered in her ear. But she kept trying to struggle out of my grasp. Trying to calm her down, I pulled her behind the nearest building so that we wouldn't be seen.

"Papa! I need to go to him! He needs me!" she yelled.

I knew I couldn't let her, for fear she would be caught before she even made it to her father's building.

"I will help you, but only if you come back with me quietly. You have to trust me. You go in for your Papa, meine liebe, you will only ensure both of your deaths."

I felt her momentarily relax, resigned. She turned around in my my arms, laying her wet cheek on my chest. After a few seconds, she pulled back, and stared at me.

"Why would you do this? You are under no obligation."

I looked down at her beautiful face, knowing I would do anything for this angel. I would walk through the fiery pits of hell before I saw her hurt. I knew I couldn't deny her, and no longer would.

"I am under more obligation than you could know, Liebe.'' I reached up to caress her face, my thumb brushing across her cheek. Her beautiful blush colored her face, turning it a pretty pink. Before she could say anything I pulled her back to my building.

We got to my door, went in, and closed it. Jasper and Alice shot out of the chairs they were sitting in, asking questions. Alice came up and gently smacked Bella's shoulder.

"Where did you two go?"

I pulled Jasper aside, telling him the situation. I told him what I wanted to do. Even though it obviously went against rules, he agreed with me.

"Ok, so here is what we will do. Bella, Alice, you two will stay here with the door locked. No questions asked." Bella closed her mouth, obviously trying to argue. I admired her for her bravery and love towards her father, but I wouldn't risk her when I could risk myself instead. As I thought this, I wondered what it would be like to have her love and affection. I pulled myself from those thoughts, trying to concentrate on the task at hand.

"What about Jasper," Alice asked.

'"Well Jasper has to go to his lab to get things that we might need, and other supplies."

Bella looked up at me and said,"What about you?"

'"I will go for your father, and bring him back. Jasper will go and get whatever he can that your father might need. We don't know what his condition is yet." I didn't add that he might not even be there. But if he wasn't, which for Bella's sake I hoped he was, I knew I would be there for her.

'"Ok then I will go now. I'll be back." Jasper waved to us goodbye, then went over to Alice, and kissed her forehead. '"I'll be back," he whispered to her. Then he was out the door.

Alice went over to the chair and just sat there, staring into space.

I pulled Bella into the hallway. '"Just remember, stay in the office lock the door. I have a gun in the bottom right drawer of the desk. Use it if you must," I told her. I didn't like the image of Bella having to use my gun, but I couldn't stand it if she wasn't somehow protected.

I looked down at her, prepared for refusal and fear, but instead I found gratitude and...something else. I decided to think about that later.

'"You should go ba-"

Bella put her hand over my mouth, effectively shutting me up.

She stood on her tip-toes, wrapping her hand around my neck to pull it down towards hers. My mind went completely blank, and I couldn't think straight.

Bella's lips brushed mine, and then I couldn't remember my name. My thoughts were scrambled, and I was helpless to do anything about it.

'"Edward," she whispered, and then I lost it. My lips crashed down on hers, without any rational thought. I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her close against me as my mouth ravished hers. She leaned into me, wrapping her arms around my neck, parting her lips under mine. Then I-

BANG! We both jumped apart. We then heard multiple gunshot sounds coming from outside the building. Sighing, I grabbed Bella's hand, and pulled her back to me, resting her head on my chest. I ran a hand through her soft mahogany waves, wishing things could be different here.

Knowing I had to go, I pulled back, and looked at her. Brushing the back of my hand across her cheek, I told her goodbye.

'"Be safe," I said quietly, then turned and walked out of the building.

I walked out of the building, my gun under my uniform. I made the journey across the campus to the mens barracks, looking around to make sure I wasn't followed.

I went around the back way, and quietly slipped in. It was dark now, so I didn't know how I would find Bella's father in this place. I began going up to each cot, looking for him. Near the end, I saw a shadow stand from the floor. I put a hand on my gun, ready to pull it out, but the shadow's hand stopped me. Before I could react, I heard him.

'"Outside. Now."

I immediately knew it was him, and I put my arm around him to help him out, as it was obvious by his heavy breathing and limp that he was hurt. Once outside, I leaned him against the wall.

'"Sir, if we want to make it before the night patrol makes its rounds, we need to go now."

He looked at me. I couldn't help but notice he had the same nose and hair as Bella's. When he looked up at me, I met a familiar pair of chocolate eyes. I sighed. He didn't seem to be all there, and in a lot of pain. Before he could speak, I held my hand up to stop him.

'"I promise if you come now, no harm will be done to you, and I will explain everything." I told him. As I said this, he seemed to contemplate whether to come with me or not.

He then got up, and I stepped forward to give him a hand. '"I trust you," he said confidently.

We made our way back to my building, avoiding capture. We went to my office, and I set Charlie into an empty chair. I turned to ask Alice for something when I realized she was by herself. Looking around the office, Bella was nowhere in sight.

I ran over to Alice, grabbing her arm. '"Where is she?" I hissed.

Alice pushed my hand off her arm, pissed. '"She said she needed to use the toilette, if you must know!"

'"How long ago?" I spit out.

Alice then looked away, her face looking stricken. '"I-I didn't realize it was s-so long...I didn't think-"

I cut her off. '"How long, Alice?" I yelled.

'"A-After you left..." she whispered, looking at the ground.

I knew that the trip to get Bella's father took way longer than it took to go to the bathroom. Frustrated and scared, I spoke to Charlie.

'"A man named Jasper Whitlock will come shortly. He is a doctor, and will tend to your injuries. I need to go. Watch her." Looking at Alice, I went to go, but he stopped me.

'"Where is my daughter now, boy?"

'"I'm going to find out." And without turning back, I rushed out the door.

On my way back to Edward's office, I was thinking about his kiss. Touching the tips of my fingers to my lips, I smiled at the memory. I knew that I had only known him these short weeks, but I also knew what I felt for him.

With thoughts of Edward, I had swung around the corner when I felt a hand go around my mouth and something go around my neck. Before I could struggle, I heard their voice.

'"Hallo, mein schones."
