--

"Isabella, come out come out wherever you are," I felt the chills go up my spine as I heard Warren's icy venom voice calling out to me. I was hiding up in a tree trying to catch my breath. I had been running for what seemed like days trying to escape him, but it was no use. He was too fast.

I was hired to track him down and kill him, but little did I know the whole time I was tracking him he was also tracking me. He knew every corner that I was around, he knew if I had changed disguises. He always seemed to be three steps in front of me.

"Isabella, I know you can't be far. I know I grazed you with a bullet," he said. Shit, I had forgotten about that. I guess the adrenaline made me forget the pain I was in. I quickly grabbed a bandana I had in my pocket and tied it over the wound hoping to stop the bleeding and get rid of some of the pain.

I felt like I was holding my breath. It was extremely quiet. A little too quiet for my liking. I heard the wind moving the leaves and turned my head up towards the sky remembering the days when I didn't have to constantly watch my back.

The silence remained and I figured Warren had wandered off somewhere else looking for me. I took a slow steady breath and decided to climb down the tree. I let out a small hiss of pain when I hit the ground harder than what I thought I would.

I made sure my knife was still tucked in my boot. Making sure my gun was locked and loaded and the safety was off, I started trucking my way through the woods again. I stepped lightly to ease the pain and try to go unnoticed. My leg felt like it was on fire.

It felt like I had been walking forever when I came to a clearing where I could see the moon. I was beautiful but now I felt completely exposed. I leaned against a tree to catch my breath and looked down at my leg. I could see the blood soaking through the bandana.

I needed to keep going before he caught up with me again. "Boo," I heard the eerie whisper in my ear. I felt like I jumped in my skin and tried to turn around but my arms were grabbed and I was forced to the ground. I groaned when my head hit first.

"Told you I'd catch you," he sneered in my ear. He let me sit up slightly and I turned to face him. "Well, you caught me. So go ahead. Kill me," I sneered back at him. He chuckled slightly. "I'm not gonna kill you quite yet," he said. I winced as I felt the pain in my leg again.

"You look hungry," he said and I felt myself cocking an eyebrow in his direction. "Nope," I said through gritted teeth. He looked over at me with a sad expression. "Do you think I'd poison you or something?" he asked me as he pulled out some food from his backpack.

I rolled my eyes. "I don't know what you're capable of," I said as I sat back against the tree trying to catch my breath. He didn't seem to be that bad. I mean he was offering me food. I watched as a small fire was formed and then he started heating food over the fire.

It was finished soon and he sat back with it. "Are you sure you don't want any?" he asked as he took a bite. I shook my head. "No thanks," I said as I tried to get comfy against the tree. "Better get some sleep we're moving at first light," he said in between bites.

I felt my eyes closing. I tried to fight it. I had no clue what he was going to do to me in my sleep. I heard Warren moving around and I barely peeked to see that he was pulling out a sleeping bag. I closed my again so he wouldn't notice that I was watching him.

~~

It felt like I had been asleep for a while when I awoke with a start. Warren was tucked away in his sleeping bag. I noticed a blanket was thrown across my lap and a can of food was sitting beside me. I pushed it away lightly with my fingers not knowing what he had done to it.

This was my chance. I could get away and sneak out of here quietly. I quickly slipped the blanket off of me and stood up. I slowly grabbed his backpack and grabbed a couple cans of food knowing that he wasn't going to poison himself. I looked down at him.

He was sleeping peacefully and looked almost innocent. I slowly turned and went to walk away. I took a few hesitant steps and kept looking behind me to make sure that he remained asleep. Once I was a few feet away from him I broke off into a small run trying to create as much space between us as possible.

I looked behind me again feeling like I was being chased by someone, but when I looked behind me I saw nothing. I smacked into something hard thinking it was a tree when I stumbled backwards until I felt arms wrap around me and turn me away from them.

I was so afraid at this point. I thought I was able to get away but once again he was three steps in front of me. "What are you going to do to me?" I asked him. I felt a cool blade tough my throat. "I told you...I'm gonna kill you," he said pushing me forward causing my throat to slide against the knife slitting it open before I fell to the ground and everything went black.

CUT!!

"You can stand up now, Vi," I heard Mark call out. Soon I seen a hand in my line of vision that I instantly recognized as Norman's. I grabbed it and he pulled me up. I was covered in fake blood from the skin prosthetic that was across my throat for that scene.

"Norman, Vi, that was fantastic," Mark said before walking away to talk to some of the crew. I looked up at Norman who had a slight concerned look on his face. "You alright?" I asked him. He smiled down at me. "I'm fine, but you took a pretty hard fall. Are you alright?" he asked me.

I smiled and gave him a nod. "Trust me, it wasn't that bad. I just need a shower," I said gesturing to all the fake blood that ran down my neck, arms, and shirt. Norman chuckled and threw an arm around my shoulders. We turned to see that Mark was heading back towards us.

"Alright guys, that's enough for today. Y'all need to go home and rest....and shower," he said looking over at me. I stuck out my tongue at him. "And take tomorrow off, y'all seem like ya need it," he said before walking off to the jeep that was taking him back to base camp.

Norman and I jumped in to back of the jeep assigned to us and the driver started heading back towards base camp. It didn't take us long to get back. Norman jumped out and helped me down. "Meet you at my jeep in ten minutes?" Norman asked me.

I nodded. That would give me enough time to grab my things and try to get some of this fake blood off of my neck and arms. I ran into my trailer and headed straight to the bathroom. I grabbed a wash cloth and ran it under the warm water from the sink.

I started removing the dried blood as best as possible. When the ten minutes were up I looked in the mirror to see that I looked halfway human again. I walked out the door of my trailer and locked it behind me. I looked up to see Norman leaning against his jeep waiting for me.

"Sorry I took so long," I said as I walked up to him. He smiled and opened my door for me. "Please, you're just in time," he said before shutting my door and walking around to the driver's side. He jumped in, started the car, and took off down the road.

"So where are we going tonight?" I asked him. He glanced over at me with a smirk before looking back towards the road. "That's for me to know and you to find out. Sweetheart," he said. I rolled my eyes slightly and looked over at him. "At least tell me what I need to wear," I said.

He looked over at me again. "What you're wearing is fine," he said. I looked down at my clothing. "Norman I'm covered in fake blood and my hair has twigs and leaves in it," I said while a chuckle. Norman cracked a smile. "You get what I mean," he said as he pulled into the driveway.

Norman and I hopped out of the jeep and started up the steps towards our house. "So how long do I have to get ready?" I asked him as we made it to our doors. Norman looked down at his watch on his wrist. "You think you can be ready in an hour?" he asked me.

I nodded. "That's more than enough time," I said before heading into the house. I chuckled as I walked past the door that divided our houses. Norman walked by at the same time and stuck his tongue out at me. I chuckled again and shook my head as I headed towards the bathroom.

I quickly hopped in the shower and made sure it was extra warm to help get all the fake blood off. I scrubbed at my skin making it almost feel like it was raw. By the time I had stepped out of the shower the whole bathroom was steamed up. I wrapped myself in a big towel and cleared the fog on the mirror with my hand, At least all the fake blood was off now.

I went to my closet and grabbed a pair of skinny jeans. I struggled to put them on seeing as my legs were still wet. I looked in my closet trying to find a shirt, but I didn't know what to wear. I finally found a shirt to wear I threw it on the bed. I towel dried my hair before pulling out my blow dryer and blow drying it the rest of the way.

I curled my hair a little and applied some make up. I looked at myself in the mirror one last time before going back to my bed and throwing my shirt over my head. I grabbed my leather jacket and threw it around my shoulders before sitting on the edge of the bed and putting my boots on.

"Babe?" I heard Norman call out. I could tell he had crossed over into my side of the house. "In the bedroom!" I called back. Soon he appeared in the doorway and I looked up at him. He was dressed in his typical gray washed out jeans and a black t-shirt along with his mismatched brown boots.

I noticed a jacket draped over his arm. "Ready to go?" he asked me. I nodded and walked past him out of the bedroom. I felt his hand press gently against the small of my back as we walked out the front door. "So where are we going?" I asked him as we got into his jeep. He looked over at me with a smile. "I told you, it's a surprise."
