Re: AnnaBell looks around for rebels

AnnaBell~
my knees were shaking slightly and a exploding pain in my head threatned to drop me to the floor but like hell I was going to back down to the bastard that was my father, I looked over at Stefan and for a brief second worry filled them but just as quickly they were filled again with hate and fury against my dad. he wrinkled his nose looking over Stefan and then his eyes got hard when Stefan spite on the fllor close to him "spite on my floor again boy and they'll be mopping up your blood and body off the floor" he growled out then looked at me in disgust "this boy is what you've been running with? what happened to that other boy? what was his name again" he stopped looking at me with a smug look as I stiffen up and glared at him "oh yes that's right Mark, didn't he die?" gritting my teeth I looked at him, that one stabed me in the gut. "you killed him you bastard" I growled out, dad stood up calmly but I knew I hit a nerve just like he did to me, he hated being called a bastard. "you will show some respect to your king". I sneered "like hell I will" eyes full of evil hes eyes flickered to Stefan then at me "oh I think you will" with a twitch of his fingers a guard kicked out Stefan's knees from under him and a gun pointed to his head. panic shot through me " no! leave him alone!" dad chuckled "ahh so you do care about him"

Stefan
I listen to Anna and her father talk, my eyes holding nothing but hatred for him. But when I glanced at AnnaBell every so often as she spoke, my eyes would lose their harsh look for a moment, and the feeling that would swell up in my chest was the exact opposite of what I felt for her father. I looked up as the man walked up to me and my eyes narrowed before I letout an almost animal-like snarl when he knocked me off my feet, crashing heavily to the floor and banging my head against it. My vision blacked for a moment before returning to normal, and white spots danced in front of me. My face twisted into a snarl of rage as the gun was pointed at me, eyes narrowing.

AnnaBell~
whirling on my dad I snarled "leave him out of this!" I almost screamed, He looked at me with a calm look "why? you dragged him into this, so hes part of it" Panic shot through me again when I glanced at Stefan. "now daughter if you do as I say I'll let you both live...for now" Looking over at Stefan I swallowed hard, I couldn't lose him, not now. "Fine, what do you want?" I asked turning back to my dad. With a chuckle he smile darkly at me "oh your going to address the city in a few days and tell them about our battle plan" Fists as my sides I looked at him "What? your going to start a war? no! I wont!" I yelled trying my hardest to stay standing and not drop to the floor. "alright fine then" With a snap of his fingers The guard starts kicking Stefan. My eyes widen in fear "no! stop!" I screamed "Make him stop!" I screamed at dad tears threatening to fall. He looked at me calmly "Then do my simple wish my dear and he'll stop" I looked back at Stefan "alright alright, I'll do it, just make him stop!" I screamed, With a nod the guard stopped and backed off, I drop to my knees next to Stefan,ignoring the pain I lean over him "oh Stefan Im sorry" I whispered and gently cradle his head in my lap. Tears in my eyes I looked at my dad "I'll do it, just don't hurt him anymore" A sick smile played on dad's lips "wise choice daughter" "Guard! Take them to the princess's old room and see that they don't get out" He barked, With a nod a couple Guards came over, I snarled at them as one grabs me by the neck and pulls me up, the other picks up Stefan roughly and trows him over his shoulder "Move" one growled at me and shoves me out of the room and down the hall

Stefan
I listen to her and her dad talk, and my eyes widened then narrowed. "AnnaBell, don't," I say. I wasn't worth starting a war. I groaned as the guard landed the first kick, eyes snapping shut. I instinctively curled into a ball, upper arms on my sides and hands over my head, protecting my head and internal organs. I could still hear Anna's franctic voice and the cold tone of her father, but the words faded out, red dancing through my mind and before my eyes every time the booted foot slammed into my already injured ribs, and I knew there would be more bruising and possibly more cracked and broken ribs. When finally the blows stopped, each breath I dragged in was long and painful, voice raspy and mind swimming. I slowly uncurled, afraid of the deal Anna had made, when the guard picked me up and threw me on my chest over his shoulder. My breath went out in a whoosh as pain ran throughout my entire body. With every step the guard made, pain shot through my body, and my head fell back.

AnnaBell~
getting dragged and shoved down the halls to the east side of the castle, I tried my hardest not to black out from the pain that was everywhere, but I couldn't black out, Stefan needed me to stay awake, I wasn't sure what would happen if both of us went down for the count. My right side was caked with dry blood from my shoulder and gash on my side, it was amazing how fast something could get infected, my shoulder was starting to ooze a greenish yellow colored puss. One guard opened the door to my old room, The one holding Stefan walked in and dropped him roughly onto the four posted huge bed "be careful! I snapped at him fury in my eyes "shut it street rat" one growled and shoved me into the room, I lost my balance and fell to my knees sucking in a hiss, the tears stung my eyes "don't try anything princess or someone could get hurt, the Doctor will be in shortly to fix you two" With that The door slammed shut and we were alone in the huge room. "we'll that could have gone better" I mumbled slowly standing up. On wobbly legs I make it over to the bed, Stefan looked passed out, collapsing in the bed with a groan "rest for a sec then get the first aid kite from the bathroom" My eyes slip shut and everything went black

[• Echo]

Stefan
I groaned, every movement feeling as if someone were stabbing me repeatedly in my sides and beating my limbs and chest with a heavy club. I was dimly aware of a door open, being tossed carelessly onto something like a couch or bed, someone falling on the floor, probably Anna, and of a door shutting. I didn't hear a lock click, but I was sure it was there, and if not, that there would be guards behind the other side of the door. I lay where they had thrown me, my body crumpled on what I now knew to be a bed, pain searing through me like a white-hot knife. I could hear someone moving towards me, felt someone else fall into the bed, and, with a long groan of pain, forced my body to lift into a sitting position and open my eyes, head swimming. Every movement I made was jerky and stiff as I angled my body to look at Anna, who was passed out. I swallowed painfully past the lump in my throat, lifting a hand to gently caress her head and back, ignoring the snags in her hair and barely touching her so as not to apply pressure to any bruises or other injuries she may have acquired. Sighing, I let my body fall beside her, grimacing with pain, and lay a hand against her back, eyes slipping shut as I finally gave in to the sleep that had been clinging to me stubbornly for so long.

AnnaBell~
I woke up much later sucking in a sharp breath from pain, I could feel hands on my body and my shoulder burned in pain along with the rest of my body. Struggling to sit up as m head throbbed with pain and my eyes wouldn't focus, A gently hand pushed be back onto the bed"shhh calm down princess, Im working on patching you two up" patching us up huh? my head was throbbing making it hard to think and my throat was dry "what?" I croaked out then cleared my throat painfully and tried again "what are you talking about?" My voice was small and weak but it was mine. "who ever you dad sent to get you did a job on both of you" both of us? huh? Stefan! I shot up getting a nasty head rush and I cried out in pain, looking around wildly I see Stefan on the other side of the bed stripped down to his boxers as a nurse was patching him up "you'll rip you the stitches if your not careful, lay back down" bleary eyed I looked at the doctor as he gently pushed me back down "your friends fine, we had a hell of a time getting him to the other side of the bed tho" He said with a gently smile, leaning back into the pillows I smiled weakly "yeah I bet" "now you'll both be fine in a couple days, when you feel up to it you can shower but take it slow alright? now I'll be back later on to check on you two" the doctor said gently and walked out with his nurse

[• Echo]

Stefan
I was sitting up when AnnaBell woke up, and instantly my heartbeat quickened. I had stubbornly refused the painless they tried to give me and Anna, not trusting anyone in this God-forsaken place. "Careful, Anna," I murmured quietly, grimacing slightly as the nurse taped the last bandage that wrapped around my chest and stomach, covering the scrapes and bruises I had gotten from being kicked repeatedly and beaten. Every breath was still long and painful, but thankfully not as badly now as my broken and cracked ribs were better set to heal. Reaching onto the floor, biting my lip to hold back the groan of pain, I grabbed my jeans and gingerly pulled them on, standing as the nurse and doctor left, walking over to Anna's side ofthe bed and sitting down. I was still tired but right now my focus was on Anna as I gently placed a hand on her better cheek, studying the new bandages on her body that covered stitches and injuries. "How do you feel?" I ask quietly, knowing she probably hurt like hell but wanting to know anyway.

[LoveOnHerArms]

AnnaBell~
bleary eyed I slowly I slowly rub eyes trying to get them to forces, oh man I hurt like hell, with a soft groan I lean back into the pillows looking around, oh that was better. looking down at myself I was stripped to my bra and underwear, stitches tightly sewn up my right shoulder, bandages wrapped around my stomach and my knee, bruises covered me along with little scratches. Letting out a slow breath I smiled weakly looking at Stefan, at lest he was standing, leaning into his touch slightly. a painfully chuckle came from my lips " I feel like death rolled over but I"ll be fine, how about you?" I asked softly and push myself to sit up more, holy mother up in heaven didn't those people believe in numbing up a person? "but honestly I want to shower, my hair is a bloody rats nest,and I stink"

[• Echo]

Stefan
I smile crookedly, though it didn't reach my lips. "That's partly my fault," I say, watching her. "I refused any medication they tried to give us.". I shrugged. "But I'm fine, and it's not really me I'm worried about," I say, letting my hand slowly trail down her cheek, neck, across her shoulder, and down her back, checking her over with my eyes again. I shook my head slowly. "If you need a shower, Anna, then go take a shower, just be careful," I say, leaning closer to gently brush my lips against her forehead.

[LoveOnHerArms]

AnnaBell~
I gave a small nod with a smile "ahh yeah that probably was smart" looking at him my eyes roam over his body, checking to see how they patched him up, my heart clenched in my chest thinking of everything I put him through. I held still letting him check me over with a soft smile "Im fine Stefan really" Sitting up more I chuckled lightly and smiled feeling his lips brush my forehead "great cause thats what Im going to do" I said sliding out of bed slowly, On wobbly legs I slowly make my way to the bathroom muttering to myself

[• Echo]

Stefan
I nodded slightly as she got out of bed, standing with her and watching her, ready to catch her in case she fell, just in case. I could hear her muttering to herself but said nothing, instead walking over to the mirror that hung on one of the walls, studying my reflection in the mirror. I had taken my green contacts out a long time ago, so my eyes were their normal dark hazel, almost too dark to see the pupils. My hair was growing out now, so now there were a couple inches of dark hair above my lighter, white sandy blonde hair that I had dyed.

[LoveOnHerArms]

AnnaBell~
I walked into the bathroom and left the door open,what was the point in closing the door? walking over to the shower I turn on the hot water and let it run so it would get hot. I put a hand against the wall and leaned into it sighing, reaching back in I felt the water and smiled small, I strip out of my bra and underwear then step into the water with a sigh "mmmmm" Standing under the hot water I closed my eyes as the hot water worked on washing away everything that had happened today, thinking about what to do I soap up and clean off, then get out. Wrapping a towel around myself I let out a breath and smiled small, it felt great to be clean again. looking at myself in the mirror "wow Anna" I mumbled, face scattered with little scraps and bruises, but my eyes weren't filled with pain anymore and you could see a few inches of my natural hair color under the golden brown I dyed it. was it that long ago? it felt like it. sighing I walk slowly out of the bathroom, getting to the bed I sit down on the edge and looked at Stefan with a small smile, wet hair falling onto my shoulders

[• Echo]

Stefan
I heard the shower turn off, followed by footsteps a moment later. Turning, I see AnnaBell come out of the bathroom, still wrapped in a towel. She walked to the bed and sat down, and I smiled, just the corner of my lips twitching upwards, as I walked over to her and sat down on the bed beside her, running my hand gently over her dripping hair. I had already taken a shower just before the doctor and nurse had shown up, my hair almost dry now. I had to admit that even though I was wearing dirty jeans, it felt nice to not have a layer of dirt covering my entire body. "Nice clothes," I say, chuckling softly. Her skin was lighter now, and I arched my eyebrows. "What happened to your tan?" I ask, laying my hand gently on her uninjured shoulder.

[LoveOnHerArms]

AnnaBell~
I smiled small and gently lay my head on his shoulder with a soft sigh, I closed my eyes for a moment thinking about what to do, awe hell I was to tired and sore to do anything today. I chuckled lightly and looked up at him "yeah well I don't feel like putting on my bloody dirty clothes" I said then make a face at him "yea that was dirt Stefan" I would have poked him to but with his ribs wrapped up I didn't want to hurt him...more then I already had. Sighing I closed my eyes again and shivered slightly when water cold water dripped down my back from my hair "what are we going to do Stefan?" I asked softly


haha that tan line was from Maximum ride! XD

[• Echo]

Lol, yep, I've read all the books up to Angel, which is thankfully coming out soon, so now I'm just waiting for Angel then the one after that (which is u fortunately the last), I'm totally addicted to the series xD


Stefan
I chuckled softly. "That's a great reason," I say. I didn't mind, though; as long as she was here, she could be wearing an executioners' uniform for all I cared. I smiled again, the smile reaching my eyes this time, but barely. "Well then, you should probably take showers a bit more often, get a chance to tan properly," I say, grinning crookedly. My expression turned serious again, and it felt like I suddenly had gained several years of age as I pulled her into my arms, gently so as not to hurt her, placing a hand gently on her back. "We stall as long as we can and find a way to get the hell out of here," I say, just as quietly, my fingers rubbing small circles across her back and shoulders.

[LoveOnHerArms]

of same here but I didn't like Fang every much....whoa whoa what?! the book after angel is the last?!


AnnaBell~
I looked up at him and smiled softly seeing one of his real smiles that reached his eyes this time, then laughed "but getting dirty is so much easier, and I don't have to worry about getting burned" I joked back feeling a little better, glancing back up at his face I bite my lip, he looked way older when he was being the strong one. I curled up into him and sighed laying my head back on his shoulder, I relaxed a little from his touch and nodded small "right" I whispered getting drowsy from his fingers making small circles on my back and shoulders "thank you Stefan" I mumbled

[• Echo]

Yeah, Fang kinda was irritating... And yeah, unfortunately, I couldn't believe it when my friend told me, but she already has the book since she went to this author thing and got a bunch of books before they came out.


Stefan
I sighed quietly, brushing her hair back from her shoulders. "Don't thank me," I say quietly, "I really had no choice when they decided to kick the door down and interrupt us, but I probably would have come anyway. And thank you's are overrated," I say jokingly, though my tone was dry. "I love you, Anna," I whisper, feeling her curl into my side and laying down slowly, pulling her with me, resting my chin atop her head.

[LoveOnHerArms]

awww sad day....man all the book series end to soon....but The Percy Jackson books are starting up again! (:

AnnaBell~
Listening to him I chuckled softly "right" sighing I curled up more into him as he laid us both down and held me, " I love you too Stefan" I said softly before I fell asleep curled into him


blah sorry its so short

[• Echo]

Yeah, I know.... And they are? Lol, that just brightened my day a tad, my foster parents bought me the series for My birthday a couple years ago and I got hooked on them xD


Stefan
I sighed softly, hearing her words and feeling her small body relax in my arms. Reaching down, I gently pushed a strand of hair from her face, leaving my palm against her cheek. My fingers gently traced the contour of her face, imprinting her features onto my hands, never wanting to let her go again for fear of losing her.

[LoveOnHerArms]

umm In not sure yet, I found out from Devinet Art... yeah Im hooked, I've read them like five times XD

AnnaBell~
sleeping I sighed softly and curled up more into him for warmth, my hands curled into his chest, I was scared even in my sleep that If I let go I would loses him.

[• Echo]

Haha, it's fine, and I really hope so, it's a good series.



Stefan
I sighed quietly, closing my eyes. My hand slid down her neck and to her back as I wrapped my arms loosely and gently around her, dozing off lightly, only half aware of everything that would be going on, jumping slightly at every footstep that went past the door, though it ne'er opened, and none ever paused in front of it.

[LoveOnHerArms]

yeah it is (:

Doctor
The Doctor slipped back in to check on them, a soft smile on his lips seeing them asleep on the bed. both looked much better already. The guy lifted his head to look at him with a warning look, The old Doctor still didn't know his name but chuckled lightly and held his hands up "don't worry I just came in here to check on you two and see if you want some dinner" The old man said kindly with a smile

[• Echo]

Stefan
I was only still half awake when I heard the footsteps stop, followed by the door opening. Immediately alarm rose in my chest, hearing a chuckle, and my head lifted. I wanted to jump up, but didn't want to disturb Anna, so I simply narrowed my eyes as I recognized the doctor. I didn't want to trust anyone here, but with the doctor's kind looks and voice, it was hard not to. I sighed softly, gently disentangling myself from Anna and sitting, pulling the comforter carefully over her sleeping body. I wanted to refuse, but my stomach said otherwise at the mention of food, and my thoughts turned to Anna. Besides, if they wanted to kill us, they probably would have done it by now. "That would be... Great," I say, feeling worn out from the months and weeks on the run. "Yes, that would be great, if you would give us a moment to get dressed," I say, looking at Anna and thinking how she was only wearing a towel.

[LoveOnHerArms]

Doctor~
watching him with kind old eyes, I slip my hands into my pockets. The young man sounded wary,worn out, and tired, a slight frown came on the my lips thinking about it, these two young people have been through a lot and I was pretty sure things would get worse before they got better. With a small nod I looked at him "there are clean clothes for both of you in the closet and dresser, Ill be waiting outside for you" I said to the man that was looking at the princess with a soft eyes. Slipping out of the room I wait.

AnnaBell~
I started to stir feeling Stefan gone but then sighed softly when something warm covered me, my body didn't wait to move, it was warm,soft and I desperately needed sleep, but I could hear voices above me, they where muffled from my sleep, I made out a couple words dinner and Stefan saying yes but we had to dress first then the other person telling him that the closet had clothes for us. I groaned softly waking up more and bury my head into the pillow curling up more under the blanket, maybe Stefan could bring be back some food? but then again I doubt he would leave my side.
