Bella winced and pulled back a bit when he spewed apple as he talked, then jumped a bit as he ripped pieces from her dress again. She protested to being gagged again and having her ankles bound. A squeak escaped her as he threw her over his shoulder and slapped her backside. She had to hold back her shiver at his comment of using her as a shield. The guards wouldn’t attack him with her in his grip, would they? She shook the thought from her mind when he threatened her. How could she possibly fight with the way he had her bound? 

Even if she were to wiggle around like crazy and drop to the floor, she wouldn’t be able to go anywhere. As he crept through the shadows with her, she prayed someone would spot them, but no one did. He was making a clean escape with her and whatever he looted from the chapel. When he stopped and tied her to him, more fear took over her. [i]Why did I have to check on the noise?[/i] she thought to herself. Bella closed her eyes and her body tensed as he climbed up the wall. 

She wasn’t a fan of heights. When they reached the top, she didn’t open her eyes right away. She had waited until there was solid ground beneath them, and she regretted doing so soon after. She tried to focus on something at eye level other than him. She looked at the top of the trees she saw and a few birds in the distance. As her eyes scanned the area, she saw a flock of birds that seemed to be headed towards them.
