He tried to save her; he pumped her heart, breathed oxygen in for her, shot his venom straight into her heart. But he was too late. Bella Swan had slipped into the after life without Edward Cullen ever registering it. Outside the house a lone figure sat atop a tree, listening and watching everything going on inside the house, a single tear escaped a gold eye and a gentle whisper of "sleep" was carried by the wind into the house.
The remaining Cullens were on the ground floor when they heard Bella's heart fall silent. After a while Carlisle and Esme ran into the room, they registered Jacob staring at the baby in Rosalie's arms, the silence of the room and Edward's frantic CPR upstairs.
"What's going on?" Carlisle asked.
"Bella's heart won't start. He's been for 28 minutes, he won't give up" Alice said, between her dry sobs. Jasper was next to her but the pain was visible on his face, just the pain Edward was feeling from upstairs was enough to kill him if he could.
"Why hasn't anyone gone to help him?" Esme asked, she too now sobbing.
"Too much blood, Jacob tried but he saw there was nothing he could do and gave up, Edward kicked him out". Carlisle ran up the stairs. He met Edward still trying to make her heart beat. He saw various bite marks all over her body. Bella looked peaceful, as if her mission had been completed.
"Edward? Son? Please don't torture yourself any longer. Bella has moved on"
Edward ignored him and kept doing CPR.
"Edward?" Carlisle tried to put his hands over Edward's but Edward slapped them away with such force that one of them ripped off. Carlisle quickly retrieved it as if nothing happened. Edward kept his eyes on Bella.
"Edward, remember your daughter. Please Edward let go" He put his hands over him, trying to stop him once more, the younger vampire tried to slap them away again but Carlisle wouldn't allow it. He grabbed Edward from behind. Edward's hands stopped moving over the dead heart, he dropped on the floor in dry sobs. Carlisle held him.
"She's not dead! She's not gone! Help me Carlisle"
"Edward you have been doing CPR for 44 minutes, you know there's nothing else we can do. You have your daughter Reneesme; she's downstairs waiting for her father. She's beautiful Edward"
Edward kept muttering Bella's name under his breath. He didn't seem to hear anything Carlisle was saying. Suddenly he broke free from Carlisle's fatherly embrace and broke out into the night through the wall, so fast that he was out of Carlisle's hearing range within minutes.
Carlisle started to clean the blood with bleach. When he was done the others managed to enter the room, minus Rosalie and Jacob who remained with the baby, both because they didn't want to see a dead family member but also because they did not want Reneesme to see her dead mother. Carlisle cleaned the body up as much as possible, straightening her back and stitching up the wounds, Alice redressed the body and they carried Bella into Edward's room, laying her on the large golden bed, her long hair stretched out in soft waves. They opened the window and let the cold night air they did not want the body to start decomposing yet, although they doubted that the venom in her silent veins would allow the body to decompose anyway. They all went into the living room, questions about what would happen next raced in their minds, however the biggest worry remained the fact that they were certain Edward would do something stupid and no one could stop him.
