The Mission

Twenty Five

I sat on the plane for who knows how long. I just sat there. I didn't talk even though Jane prompted me multiple times. All I did was keep my eyes closed. I didn't sleep, all I did was just sit there. 

"We are almost there Izzy," she said. 

I didn't respond all I did was nod once. 

She rubbed my back and held me closed. 

About twenty minutes later the plane landed. I was very, very tired. "Come on Izzy, let's go," she whispered. But I didn't move. All I could do is sit there.

"Jane, go ahead, we will meet you there," Demetri said. 

Jane nodded. "Izzy, come on," she whispered in my ear. 

I shook my head. 

"Okay, we will take as long as you need," she said and put her arm back around me and pulled me close.

"I shouldn't have done this," I whispered and hid my head. 

She ran her fingers through my hair. But I still stayed silent. 

"Izzy, come on," she whispered, "Let's go,"

I couldn't speak, so I nodded. 

She took my hand and helped me stand up. We both walked off the plane. She helped me into the passenger seat of the car. We drove in silence, I just didn't know what to say. When we she pulled into the garage, I was very confused. I didn't see a house; it was castle like. 

"Were here," she said parking the car. 

I nodded and got out of the car. She immediately came to my side and took my hand. I moved along with her. She led me into the building. We walked for what seemed like forever before we got to a bedroom. I didn't really pay attention to the surroundings, I just walked. 

She unlocked the bedroom. It was a really nice room. The walls were white. There was a master bed in the middle of the room. There was a desk and an office chair with a laptop on the desk. The TV was across from the bed. There was a bookshelf as well. 

Jane led me to the bed and pulled down the blankets. I sat on the bed and laid down. She covered me up with the blanket, "Yes my love," she said. 

"Where are you going?" I asked grabbing her hand when she tried to move away. I spoke for the first time in over 12 hours. 

"I will be back. I must talk with Aro, okay? I promise, I will be back. Try to sleep, please," she said. 

I shook my head, "I don't want to sleep, I want to go with you," I said. 

"You can't. I promise you that you do not want to come with me," she said brushing my cheek with her hand. 

"Is it... her?" 

She nodded. 

"I don't want to go," I said instantly. 

She nodded, "Please, rest," she whispered. 

I nodded and laid back down in bed. I curled up in my side and pulled the blankets over me. 

"I will be back soon, okay?" She said and kissed the top of my head.

"Okay," I whispered, and I closed my eyes. I heard footsteps and the door open and close. I curled onto my side and began to cry.

I don't know how long I have slept, but it was still dark. I turned onto my other side and Jane was there. "Hello, my love," she said.
