There was no one in the hallways. Bella couldn't help but feel the fear spike up for a moment when she realized that her light was the only on visible, but she quickly swallowed it down, chanting that same mantra over and over again in her head. No one was out because she had ran out of the room quickly, that was all.
Okay, stick to the plan, she got herself thinking, nodding her head as she moved towards the door that lead into one of the main hallways. Get to Edward's room. Get the jars. Empty said jars ... then somehow make my way upstairs. ... Well, obviously, use the stairs to get upstairs. There's really no other way to get up to a second level ... unless there's an elevator somewhere ...
"Oh god," Bella muttered to herself, unable to help herself when she rolled her eyes at her own antics. "Shuush. Is silence so hard to ask for, brain?"
You don't want the silence, she reminded herself. The silence will make your paranoia come back.
So maybe the talking to herself wasn't so bad after all.
