Day 28: Bus 2

Momo tugged on the collar of the light blue sweater she was wearing as she followed her nurse to wherever these buses were, winding her hair up into its customary bun as she went. It was an odd feeling, knowing she was about to go outside of the institute's borders. Maybe the Head Doctor was about to make an error and the shinigami, as well as everyone else, would no longer be limited and they could finish what they started several nights back.

That was probably too much to hope for. She was feeling better this morning, even with the blood moon, and was mildly looking forward to the bus ride. Captain Jack said he was going to be here this morning and even if it wasn't customary breakfast in the cafeteria, she's be satisfied with him sitting next to her on the bus.


The nurse handed her a muffin, some napkins, and a small box with a straw. She stared at this box for a moment before shaking it. From the sound it contained liquid. How odd... Momo wasn't sure why they would but liquid inside a small paper box - it didn't make any sense to her and she wasn't sure how one was supposed to get it out of the box.

Clambering onto an empty bus, Momo chose to sit in the very back near the emergency exit. Maybe she could force her way out of it as they were moving and escape the limiter enough to come back and level the institute, freeing everyone. Or maybe she just wanted to be able to see everyone that was on the same bus as her. Wishful thinking versus reality.

Secluded.

Bella felt her heart suddenly begin to beat at a rapid pace in her chest at the mention of being alone with him – perhaps it was because it only felt like yesterday when the two of them had been in the meadow; she could still feel the grass pressed against her back, and could see the way his eyes had shone like black fire.

All at once her face became bright red, and she lowered her eyes, trying to get her heartbeat steady. Damn him for still having such an effect on her!

Oh well. It was times like this she was glad he couldn’t read her mind.

“That’s fine. I-it’s not like we’d go off in separate directions in some random town neither of us know about,” a pause, and Bella finally looked at Edward, a smile crossing her lips. “Are you sure you won’t mind me dragging you around?”

The sound of her heart beat made his grin widen even more.

"Of course not." Was it enough to worry over that a small part of him was still waiting for the running and screaming? Even after so long? "I'm just making sure I'm not kidnapping you against your will."

His smile showed the whites of his teeth as he smoothly jumped out of the seat once the bus had shoved itself into a hard stop. Hood securely latched down, hands balled in his pockets, he gave Bella a nod in place of holding a hand out for her. "Let's get going, Bella."

Bella snorted at the mention of being kidnapped and stood up, grinning up at Edward as she moved passed. “Like you haven’t done that before.”
