Chapter 31- Epilogue.

 

 

It was the middle of the night and Edward was sleeping in Ella’s room. he couldn’t find it in him to go back to the palace where his brother was. So instead he had stayed in Ella’s room. Sleeping on her side of the bed and hugging her pillow to him. He had been searching all over for her those past five days but he just couldn’t find her! It was like she had been erased from the surface of the Earth! Daniel had sent orders to all forty members of his pack to go find her after he had given them her scent. But even them- the biggest and best pack in England- couldn’t find her. Diana and Elena- who is only an in-training witch- tried a locating spell which also didn’t work. At last they had come to the conclusion that the place where she was kept in had to be protected by some kind of spell that even Diana couldn’t break through. Edward had tried to talk to Johnathan again- let’s just say it didn’t end well Edward had returned home with three bullet wound which were filled with Vervain.

“Where the hell are you Ella?” Edward wondered aloud as he fisted the covers covering his body. But that was when he felt it- a strange thing happening to him. It was as if all of his emotions were being soaked out of him before a weak voice spoke.

“Edward?” the voice was so sweet- so familiar- Ella! Edward realized.

“Hey.” Ella breathed in relief.

“You fi- How did you do it?” Edward asked shocked.

“I tried hard enough.” Ella said with a faint chuckle that turned into a cough.

“Are you okay?” Edward asked worriedly as he hurriedly made his way to the room’s door after he had put on his converse.

“I don’t think so, I am just too tired all of a sudden- I think I am about to black out.”

“No, Ella don’t you dare black out on me, now! Tell me where you are so I can come get you.” Edward said and hopped into his car.

“I-I am in the place where you were changed.” Ella replied after a moment of silence and Edward sucked in a deep breath before he nodded.

“Okay, I am on my way. Stay awake Ella!” Edward added in the last part when he felt Ella’s presence start slipping away.

“I am trying! It just hurts too much to stay awake! Breaking the shield exhausted me.” Ella said her voice in his head giving out a number of times.

“Try harder! Please for me!” Edward pleaded as he pressed down more on the gas pedal anxiously wanting to get to his mate.

“I-I can’t, I am sorry.” Ella breathed before her presence was gone.

“Dammit!” Edward cursed before pressing down harder on the gas pedal making the needle of the speedo meter turn all the way to the right.

Pat. Pat. Pat. The sound of feet patting against a wooden floor continued and it took Ella a while to realize that those footsteps were hers. She was walking down a long dark hallway. Her body leaning against the brick wall for support but the bricks were sharp and the cut into the flesh of her back and arms. Her breathing was heavy and shallow; she could barely lift herself up. She knew she was searching for something- but what that something was, she had no idea.
