Bridgella AIW/Promise AU Pt2
I think this is the last of it for the most part
Everything else is like already posted or going to be released at some point
TW for blood and other stuff this was Ella's madness era
“Ella…” a sickly sweet voice called out to the girl as her eyes shot open in recognition. “Bridget?” Ella called back her mind racing as the sent of Vanilla lingered in the room. Except she got no answer. She tried to follow the voice in the distance but the feeling of rope scraping against her wrist stopped her. “El? Do you hate me, for what I did?” Bridget's voice called out in pain that made Ella want to screech as she saw a glimpse of pink in the distance. “No! Of course not! I could never hate you” she cried as she struggled against her bonds with all her might. Needing to find her friend.
Maybe it was the exhaustion, but Ella swore she was in Bridget's dorm. Her curls were back to their usual pink hue, and she was smiling at her so gently, so lovingly, that Ella could melt right then and there. She wanted that, no she needed it. She was waving her over as she mixed up another treat just out of reach. The smallest giggle releasing from her throat as Ella's eyes stung with tears she'd yet to free. “Ella?” She called in confusion tilting her head slightly. “Don't you want to try some?” She asked, turning back towards her batter as Ella just fought harder. She needed Bridget to look at her like that again, the look of love in her eyes instead of desperation and fear. She wanted to see that look again. “Bridget, Please! I'm sorry I left, let me go with you” she pleads burns lining her wrist the harder she tries to escape.
“Don't go! Please!” She begged trying to free herself from the ropes tying her to the banister. Bridget was just out of reach. Bridget paused what she was doing and looked over to her friend, "what are you talking about El?" She asked, walking over to her with a look she couldn't quite decipher as Ella stared intently at her in longing. "Why would I ever leave you?" Bridget adds as a hunger filled Ella, the closer Bridget got, her sweet sent of cupcakes feeding her like air as she begged for more. Every step closer maximizing the hold Bridget had on her as the pink girl smiles leaning over Ella's trembling figure just barely out of reach. Ella was pushing herself as hard as she could arms threatening to snap if she dared push herself any further her face only a centimeter away from the one she loved when suddenly Bridget moved closer.
Ella's eyes closed as she felt Bridget's breath on her lips hungry for more. Needing more. Waiting for her to close the tiny gap between them…but it never came
‘Free yourself my love' Bridget whispers into her ear, her breath hot against Ella's skin making her shiver at the contact. 'And then come find me' She adds, and when Ella opens her eyes she's gone. Her sent no longer lingered in the air, she was no longer in Bridget's dorm, but the phantom feeling of her breath on her skin was still there.
Ella let's out a scream in agony as she attempts to force herself free, dislocating her shoulder in the process. Tears pricked her eyes in pain unable to push herself any further crying out to be let free. Her arms went numb against the bed tears pooling from Ella's eyes as she screamed into the distance. Bridget was right there, she was just there, how could she let her get away.
Ella was getting desperate the more she tried to move the more painful it felt. She tried to ignore it, getting back to Bridget was far more important but every now and then she'd struggle to suppress a grunt or her eyes would blur from burning sensation in her arm until finally she couldn't fight it anymore. Her arms hurt too much and her struggles were in vain. Her lungs burned from her cries, and her heart lay heavy in its cage. She couldn't live without Bridget, she couldn't breathe without her sent, she couldn't see without her light, she couldn't survive without her. "I can't… I can't do it… I need you" she whispered through broken breaths and warm tears when that same voice came back.
"Ella…?" It called out, this one was quiet. Like a whisper in the wind, but Ella clung on to it like rope pulling her out the ocean of despair. "Bridget?" She breathed out, her voice broken as black dots danced around her vision.
"Why haven't you found me?" Bridget asked, and Ella must have been hallucinating because for a moment she'd see the girl of her dreams, and then she'd fade away. Her vision went in and out, in a mix of exhaustion and pain as she reaches out to touch just one lock of pink, but she wasn't there not truly. "I've tried everything" she begs, "I just want you." She cries. "Please, come back" Ella begs into the empty room, and suddenly her eyes were being guided to her wrist. "Not everything" Bridget replied, her voice in Ella's head, forcing her to hang on her every word as Ella realizes what she was asking of her.
"I could bite through the rope" she mumbles hopefully, trying to position her teeth so as not to break skin, but her arms trembled at the ackward position she was in. Her mouth opened wide eying the slim space between the rope and her bare skin, her teeth just barely brushing her wrist as she anxiously prepared to to bite down. She knew If she was a centimeter off it'd be painful, that skin would swell and blood would pool for the wound, but that was a risk she was willing to take. "Do it Ella, come back with me" Bridget's voice reinforced her intentions, she'd do anything for her. So she doesn't hesitate when her jaws collapsed around her arm as she let out a muffled scream in agony as she starts to gnaw at the fabrics, leaving deep bite marks in her skin, but she just sinks her teeth in deeper and deeper. Bridget's voice egging her on in her mind as she starts to draw blood.
Her entire body was telling her to stop but she kept going, she kept biting, she needed to get out of there. She didn't notice the tears in her eyes, the cries ripping through her throat, or the river of red flowing down her arms, she needed this. She needed her.
"Ella!" A voice called for her, but if it wasn't Bridget's, it didn't matter to her. She was so close, so close to freedom, she just had bite a little harder. "Ella you have to stop! You're bleeding" someone adds but it was all the same to Ella, she'd either die there or find Bridget those were her only to options in this life. Without her nothing else mattered. "Charming! Do something" a girl ordered and there was something familiar about that name, something good? She almost paused for a moment wanting to look over to the mysterious figures yelling at her but the smell of Vanilla brought her back to her senses. "You're almost there El, we're almost together, okay? Don't let them distract you." Bridget whispers as Ella suppresses another scream and bites harder her wrist barely recognizable under the now red rope litered in burns, and bite marks, and blood, and bruises. But it would be worth it when she was back in Bridget's arms again.
She let a dreamy giggle fall from her throat at the thought, losing herself as more blood pooled from her wound. How bad has she been bleeding? She wondered starting to feel a bit dizzy as her arm began to grow cold. No she had to stay focused just a bit longer. The metallic taste of the red liquid had long since stained her tongue, but she was beginning to wonder how much longer could she last. "Release her" a familiar voice commanded as Ella struggled to keep herself up far enough to reach her wrist.
"But she said not to." A girl replied as Ella's vision started to blur. "I don't care! if we don't do something she's going to kill herself." The boy replied, their voice sounded far away and out of focus. She wasn't sure what they were arguing about, but she was too focused to care. Just one more, she just needed one more bite and she'd be free. But before she could even open her mouth, both her wrist were freed. She collapsed on to the bed in exhaustion her eyes threatening to shut as a familiar figure walked over to her. "Bridget?" She mumbles just barely able to keep her eyes open. "Ella" she responded sweetly pushing blue curls out of her teary eyes. "Come home with me my love, you're supposed to stay by my side. You promised." She states as Ella nods leaning into her fuzzy silhouette.
"I'm so tired B," Ella states in too much pain to move. "I'm so cold" she adds shivering at the loss of blood "maybe if I rest" she mumbles her eyes slowly closing as she spoke "just for a little bit."
"No, wait. Ella?" A voice called shifting from Bridget's to one she didn't recognize. "Ella!?" She tried again trying to wake the girl up as Ella fell limp against the pillow, panicking her friends
