Hey all!! Ok so this is kind of hard to write because I have a cast on my left arm...NOW before people freak out about me breaking anything again....I figured I should tell everyone I'm fine!!! It's just for a day but since I can't go a day without writing I am going to try. So if there are mistakes please forgive me because of this stupid cast. Ok thanks all and here we go :)

End of Chapter 24
I rolled the gauze package into a tube, sliding it into the plastic bag before I removed the cover of the shampoo bottle. I focused everything I had on the shampoo bottle, unsure as to how this worked...but I hoped that if I stared at the one item that somehow Alice would have a vision...I knew I was probably wrong, and that she would never find this but I hoped and prayed that it would work.
I poured a bit of the shampoo out, making room for the plastic bag with the note inside it. I slid the entire bag into the shampoo bottle, shaking the bottle to be sure that no one would notice the bag hidden. I turned, placing the shampoo on the floor next to the bath tub, as if I had used it recently.
I was turning back to the door, my bag of toiletries in my hand as Gabriel knocked again. I reached back, grabbing the eyeliner pen and throwing into the bag as I opened the door.
"Impatient?" I asked as I walked by him, adding the bag to the luggage as I turned and looked at him.
"You have to put this on." He said as he threw a piece of cloth at my feet.
I picked it up, holding it by one end as I looked at him. "What is it?" I asked.
"Blindfold." He said as he shook his head. "Either you put it on, or we have to drug you again...it's your choice." He said as he walked closer to help me tie the blindfold in place.
Chapter 25
He tied the blindfold into place, tugging on it a few times before I heard him move in front of me. "Can you see? Please be honest." He asked.
"No. I can not see a single thing." I said as I tried my hardest to see anything, feeling lost without my vision.
"Ok good." He said as I felt fingers on my hair, pulling a few loose strands around the blindfold.
I did my best not to pull away, not wanting to upset him...but not wanting him to touch me at the same time. I was about to say something when I heard the door open to my right and someone walk in.
"Is she ready yet?" A woman's voice asked.
"Yes we're ready." Gabriel said, his anger obvious in his tone.
"Fine. We need to go. Leave the luggage, someone will get everything." The angry woman said.
"Leave her alone." Gabriel said as I heard steps to my side.
My natural reaction was to shrink back into Gabriel, he was my 'protector'...and I hoped that he would live up to that title. I was surprised when I felt his arms wrap around me, moving me around to the side of him, his arm wrapped around my shoulders.
"Enough." Gabriel said. "I said to leave her, now get our things and leave." He said, his voice stern and authorities.
A moment later I heard footsteps as someone walked over and grabbed the luggage, pulling it as they left the room...closing the door behind them.
"I'm sorry, I didn't realize this would be a issue." Gabriel said as he slid the blindfold off my eyes.
It took a few blinks to get my eyes to clear enough to see his face watching me carefully. He was still standing next to me, his arm wrapped around my shoulders.
"I didn't know she would react like this." He said as he looked down at me.
"Is she...is she your girlfriend?" I asked softly as I moved away from his arm.
"Yes." He said as he looked down. "She is not happy about my guarding you...there are stories about your relationship with Edward." He said as he grinned.
"Really?" I asked...wanting to now more, but knowing it was better to let him do the talking.
"We need to get going. She will not be as nice if she comes back." He said as he held up the blindfold, wrapping it around my head again..blinding me.
"She was nice?" I asked as I laughed.
"Yes, believe me you don't want her angry." He said as he took my hand, leading me out of the room.
I heard many voices as he led me down the hall, more then once pulling me close against his side and stopping...a low growl heard coming from his chest.
It seemed like we had walked for a while when I felt the breeze cross my face, the smell sweet from the sea. I stopped inhaling deeply as the I listened to the sea, committing the sound to my memory.
"We have to be going, the car is waiting." Gabriel said as he pulled on my arm gently.
I stepped forward, a pout on my face as I felt a hand touch the top of my head as I climbed into a car. I felt him slide next to me, his arm wrapping around my shoulder protectively.
"Ok. Go." He said to someone.
"Why are we leaving?" I asked softly.
"We tend not to stay in one place for too long, and...." He said, cutting himself off from finishing the sentence.
"And? Please tell me. Obviously it won't make a difference with me, I'm going wherever you all want me to." I said, my anger boiling to the surface.
"Good point...but don't let anyone know that you know what I am about to tell you, it could be detrimental to both of us." He said softly as he leaned down next to me, whispering so soft that I had to struggle to hear him.
"I won't, who am I going to tell. No one else talks to me."
"Ok, we also are leaving because our spies tell us that the Cullens were getting too close. It made the one in charge worried...so we have to leave." He said quickly.
"This person is afraid of the Cullens?" I asked.
"No..but. I have said too much. We can't talk about this now." He said as she sat back up, the seat shifting slightly.
"So..." I started to say before I heard the door open again on the car, someone else sliding in next to me.
"She's still talking?" Someone asked.
"Enough. This is going to be a long car ride." Gabriel said as he removed his arm from around my shoulders.
From that response I could only assume that the person in the car with us was his girlfriend...and she was not happy...again. I figured that the best thing I could do was to just sit and not say another word unless I was spoken to. I didn't want to make things any harder on myself then they were already...but at the same time all I could think about was how Gabriel said that they had spies watching Edward and his family. Why would who ever was holding me hostage be worried about the Cullens? Why would they be having someone watch them? And most importantly why would the person in charge of this group of vampires be afraid of them getting close....unless they didn't want me found.
