I scrambled away from her still sleeping form as fast as my legs would carry me. I was still high off the sensation and in shock.
I kissed her! Our lips touched. I kissed her.
Oh god, I kissed her!
No matter how many times I thought it over on the way home, I couldn't bring myself to regret the wonderful sensation that the kiss had brought me. I pinned it on the mate bond, hormones, and anything till hallucinations. But it had happened, and I did enjoy it. I couldn't deny these feelings anymore, they were there no matter how hard I fought against them.
I didn't want them though. Having and wanting aren't the same thing. I will smash them. Not only for my own benefit, but for Bella's.
I ran all through the forest. Hours over hours I ran, anything to keep my wandering mind away from Bella.
We were from two totally different worlds.
Bella Jones
Something was either very wrong or very right.
When I opened my eyes, I was greeted with light for the first time in years. I could see.
Only for a single, lingering second. But it counted. I couldn't see details, just blurry shapes. Shapes like my staggered ceiling and the drapes on my single window. Shapes as in the feathering of my dark curls over my eyes and my hand reaching to the ceiling.
And then like the change of day and night, my fleeting moment of wonder and happiness was gone. It was replaced with the familiar sense of dark and cold nothingness. It was too much to process, and tears spilled from my eyes like a waterfall. I didn't even fight it, just enjoying the moment. Never would I have allowed myself to cry so freely before now, but after that... I didn't see the point in holding back. (I'm a terrible person, but get it... She didn't see the point. ;)) sorry.)
I cried for an entire hour, finally gaining some peace. Until the questions started.
Questions like: Why was there only progress now? What triggered it? Does this mean I could have hope? Will I get my eyesight back?
I cursed myself after that one- refusing to allow myself hope. It had been too long with too little progress. I hadn't seen anything since that night. It was still a wonder how I had escaped in the first place.
The night was a blur.
He'd been gone for hours. His presence still lingered nearby- but for now he was gone. I winced at the pain in my ribs and willed them to heal. No avail.
At least while my wolf was gone. For now I would have to scheme up a plan by myself. I rose from the dirty mattress and felt around for my lose floor board. I pulled and twisted on it until it finally popped out of place- unearthing it's insides.
I had collected various things over the weeks, objects that may have helped me leave. A flattened piece of metal with a sharp end had been forgotten after one torture session. A small collection of screws and nails I had pulled from the naked walls.
Tonight was the night.
I shook off the memory and sat up, placing a clammy hand on my forehead. Not for the first time I began to wonder what I looked like. Was my hair still chestnut colored and wavy? Were my eyes the same blue, or were they glassy? Did I still have my dimple?
Not wanting to dwell on things that can't be fixed, I decided to get out of bed. I fumbled to the door, searching for the handle. Opening it I was blasted with light, and my head began to pound.
Okay seriously, what the hell was going on?
My brain felt like it was jostling around with every step towards the front door that I took. Music was blasting from my brothers room upstairs and it left s stinging sensation in my ears.
It felt exactly how it was before my first shift.

I had Alphonse drive me to the park and I decided to take in the sunlight for a while. My feet were planted firmly on the bottom of the ponds bank as water rushed past me. It tickled my ankles and soothed me.
I lay my head back on the sand and closed my eyes, enjoying the quiet. I didn't mean to fall asleep, but sometime later I was awoken by the sound of shouting and laughter. I sniffed the air and was greeted with some of the pack members.
"Look, isn't that the blind girl?" One of the females whispered. I rolled my eyes with them still closed. Really, what gave it away genius? The scars on my face or the seeing dog attached to my hip?
"I think it is," a male whispered back. A few moments later I felt a sting on my arm.
"I think she should just kill herself. I mean, it is her fault that girl died," Another voice answered, and I felt my anger bristle at that. I don't care if they make fun of me, but no one brings her up.
"Maybe we should help her out," The previous girl snorted, and I felt different stings hit my body. They were chunking rocks at me.
All of a sudden I felt a hand on my arm and I was being lifted into the air. My eyes shot open and I tried to scream for Alphonse but someone's hand was over my lips in an instant. Alex was going crazy by my side, yapping and snarling at the attackers.
"Shut up you mangy mutt!" The male shouted, and a moment later a sickening crunch filled the air. Alex yelped and I felt my terror grow.
Please let him be okay moon goddess.
The leash around my waist fell loose and Alex started tugging away from me.
Yes Alex, run!
The leash ripped free.
"Ha, good one Jared," one of the girls laughed, and I heard them high five. I used this distraction to flop out of Jared's other arm and take off in the other direction. I only made it about ten foot before I felt someone tackle me from behind. I fell to the sand, my arm awkwardly bent in front of me. I heard a snap and screamed loudly. My arm was on fire.
"Stay still you little b*tch!" Jared snapped, pulling me up again. I thrashed around in his arms as he lifted me up in the air. I tried calling out again, but someone's hand connected with my cheek. The slap echoed and I felt a sob of desperation settling in.
"Throw her in the lake, Jared!"
I felt my terror triple as my body was drug across the dirty bank. Dirt changed to wood and I realised we were on the dock.
No, no, no, no!
They were going to throw me in the water.
"Light's out!" Jared chuckled, and I felt my body being thrown through the air and a moment later I was scrambling through open water. I managed to find the surface and sucked in some air before I went back down. I tried to hold my air in, but water filled my lungs.
Was I really going to die here?
My head came up one more time into open air, and I shouted for the one person who came to mind.
"Landon!"

Cliff hanger.
So that was intense.
Sorry to end it here lol. But at least i managed an update am I right?
Hope everyone had an amazing thanksgiving you guys! I know mine was kind of plain, but I'm still happy anytime I get to visit with family. We always have thanksgiving dinner at my house though, so yay. More dishes to clean. Yippy.
How was the chapter? Do you think he's going to come to her rescue? Will anyone? So now you see the kind of judgement Bella has to go through. I'm trying really hard to make her a strong character who rises above, but remember. Crying just means you've been strong for to long. And sometimes we need a little help.
So Landon realised he has feelings for her has he? Yet he still won't accept her. This kid.
See you next time.
