Chapter 7
I had barely seen or spoken to Edward in over two weeks. He was avoiding me, and I knew it was something to do with that woman, Esme or at least I suspected that it was as he had been absent ever since that night.
Who was she and what did she mean to him?
Why would he deny her being here and most of all why couldn't I remember?
Jasper, my babysitter, was of no use or help. He wouldn't answer any of my questions or even let me go outside. I was becoming increasingly restless and the longer I was stuck here, the more I began to suspect that these men were up to no good. They claimed that they were trying to protect me … Help me, so why did it feel as if all they were doing was holding me here, and for whom?
The others hadn't arrived as I had expected either. I had no idea what that meant. Nor had Paul returned, but I wasn't exactly complaining. I knew I couldn't trust him. There was something dangerous about him. I could feel it in my gut.
"What are you thinking about?" Jasper asked, pulling me from my thoughts.
"About how much I hate this place … And you," I muttered the last part under my breath.
Jasper sighed. "Edward should be back soon."
"You've been saying that for days, and quite frankly I'm not even sure if I want to wait around for him anymore."
"Well, it's not like you have a choice."
I don't know where it came from, but before I knew what was happening I sprung from the floor and dived on top of Jasper, knocking him to the ground. I punched him in the face for good measure and searched his jean pockets for the keys.
When I found them, I jumped to my feet and made a dash for the door, but before I could get far, Jasper grabbed a hold of my leg.
I turned around and growled at him … Yeah, I actually, properly growled at him, bearing my teeth and everything, and that wasn't the crazy part. After I growled he just simply let me go. Just like that.
I had no time to question what the hell was going. So, I ran to the warehouse, unlocking the back door and making my way outside for the first time in god knows how long.
I was free.
I was finally free.
