Tattooed Luna novel (Kristen and Alec) novel Chapter 501

Rosalie bit her lip. “She was at a seven last time I checked.”

“When was the last time you checked?” All the needles were out of Penny.

“Hour or so ago.” Rosalie answered as Penny struggled to swing her legs off the bed.

“We are going to have company. Guards made it to the first floor and saw the bodies. You guys better get out of there now!” My heart started beating as Alec and I met eyes.

Alec frowned and looked at the door. “There is only one way out of here.”

“Try to make it to the first floor. It will be easier to extract you.”

It was my turn to create the plan. “You heard him.” Grabbing Penny’s arm, I put it over my shoulder and the doctor did the same on her other side. “Can you keep up?” I asked the nurse.

“Yeah, I’m good. Just don’t leave me behind!”

She wasn’t my first priority but I wasn’t going to leave her behind regardless. “Good. I need you to stay with Penny regardless of what happens. Do not leave her side and I will not leave you behind.”

Between the doctor and myself, we half carried Penny to the door. “You have about three minutes before she starts another contraction!” I heard the nurse yell as we made it to the door.

“Take the North stairs!”

“Okay.” The doctor grunted as he turned and tried to walk as quickly as possible.

“Are you okay?” I couldn’t look at Penny because I was busy looking around but I wanted to make sure she was okay.

“I’m in the process of giving birth and a war is going on around me. I’m fucking great.” The sarcasm was very thick to the point that I even let out a little laugh. After all this, this woman wasn’t freaking out.

Alec opened the door for us and we entered the stairwell. “Vin has exited the office with a group of warriors. You have about two minutes before he reaches you.”

“You boys probably only have a few minutes before they use the cameras to find us. Better get out of there!” Alec yelled as we went down the stairs.

We practically carried Penny down the stair but as soon as we hit the second landing, Penny clenched her body in pain. “FUCK!”

“That was only two minutes.” Rosalie said more to herself but it registered with me. This wasn’t good.
