Bella gasped when they hit the drop off. There wasn’t much she could do as she tumbled down the gully wash, except release muffled sounds of pain as she bounced off of things. Once hitting the bottom, she curled in on herself with a moan of pain. She had little time to collect herself before he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder again. She hissed in pain at the action. She hurt all over from the tumble. At his words, she gave what sounded like a growl. As he ran through the creek with her, she held back most of her cries of pain. 

Only small whimpers could be heard. It relieved Bella when they finally stopped for him to rest. She hissed in pain as he removed her from his shoulder and leaned against the boulder. After he removed the gag, she turned her head away from the waterskin and slowly slid down the boulder to sit down. She brought her bound hands up and rubbed her face where the gag had been. She kept quiet, but did glare at him as she continued to rub her face. As she rubbed her face, she realized her hands were feeling a little numb. She brought them from her face and carefully flexed her fingers, so as to not cause more pain in her wrists than she already had from being bound.
