Bella POV
"If you mean so much to him why would he leave you here? All alone. With no one to protect you?" Laurent was slowly circling me gradually getting closer. Pain struck to my chest at the truth of his words and the healing hole was ripped wide open. I clutched my shirt trying to wrap myself away into a safe place. The darkness behind my eyelids seemed to be filled with images of him. My chest roared with pain and my eyes fluttered open. Laurent's face was inches from mine, his blood red irises staring deep into my head. He let out one spine tingling laugh and grabbed my hand. Locking it in his vice hold. My heart stopped and I became paralyzed as shock pulsed through my body. He slowly pulled my trembling hand to his dry lips and gently placed a kiss in my palm. Then from the softness of the unexpected gesture came a searing pain. Laurent bit into me. My knee's shook and left me. Before I knew it I was on the floor screaming in pain as Laurent drank from me. Roars erupted from his chest, wait that wasn't Laurent. Suddenly from the blanket of forest cam 6 huge wolves all snarling in harmony. My vision blurred and my body went limp. I saw a blur of what must've been Laurent stand and let out a rumbling growl. Then before I knew it there was the piercing sound of screams and ripping. Blurs gracefully swarmed from all angles of my vision then one approached me and cradled me close to something that I could only describe as soft and woodsy. Jake?
"Jake?" I managed to whisper. I was aware of a small fire burning in my palm and slowly growing. The wolf let out a small whimper and I knew this was him answering me.
"Jake the fire put it out. It is getting worse!" I growled through closed teeth. Then something unexpected happened. Jake left. He walked away.
"Jake! No! Come back! Jake help. FIRE!" I thrashed against the floor as the fire spread up my arm burning my body. My heart fluttered fast and my nails dug into the ground. Something tall and dark stood over me. Laurent? Out of nowhere a something warm started stroking my forehead. Jake. Relief washed through the still growing fire. Why wasn't anyone putting it out? Why weren't they helping me?
"Bella I'm sorry. God Bella. No. Please no!" Jacob sobbed from beside me. "I should have been quicker I should have got here. I should have been watching you…" My back arched and shrieks of agony ripped from me. My whole body was shaking and I was now completely buried in the flames. Jake pulled me close to him and cried. Another blur blocked out the dim sunlight and said,
"Jake we need to get her to them. You know they can help her."
"No" Jake growled.
"Jake it's the only way she can be safe when it's over." The voice pleaded.
"No" Jacob roared louder.
"Think of her Jake…" Then before I could hear Jacobs answer his body started to tremble. Ripping filled the air and then we were moving. Fast. Past blurs of green and I continued to roast.

The fire continued for what felt like weeks. How long had I been burning? Where was I? Could I hear a heart beat? Foot steps paced around me as I continued to scream and lash out in pain. I tried to open my eyes images where there but they where slightly blurred. But blurry vision couldn't stop me recognising where I was…The Cullen's. I was on the dining room table directly under his room. The fire mounted and my chest exploded. I screeched in agony and arched against the table. Then I was aware of voices. Quite voices.
"You shouldn't sit and watch this. It's too much for you. It will be over tonight come back then." Alice! That was Alice!
"I will sit with her if I want to blood sucker." And Jake!
"Whatever you want Pup." She replied sarcastically. I could hear Jacob's deep breathing beside me and the ticking of the clock. Then like a knife cutting through the near silence a door flung open.
"Where is she?" someone growled. My chest fluttered and burned my heart ached and tied itself into a not. It was him. I thrashed against the table trying to get a glimpse of him but he didn't seem to be there. Was it all in my head?
"Shhhhh Bella." Jake pleaded stroking my hair off my face. I let out another piercing scream.
"Edward…" Alice started.
"How could you let this happen to her you filthy MUT!" Edward growled. He was obviously now in the room judging by the volume of his voice.
"You're the one who left her alone here. YOU left her with all this danger!" Jake shouted back.
He was here. Edward was back. Why? I wanted to cry but the flames where eating my tears. Then it got worse. My heart took off like a humming bird and my body trembled and thrashed against the wooden table. My fingers dug into it now it felt so soft. I tried to hold it back but I couldn't. I cried out. Screaming, panting, coughing. Everyone was silent as my shrieks echoed throughout the house. All of a sudden I could feel two cold pairs of hands pinning me down accompanied by one pair of burning hot ones. Then everything stopped. Just like that. No burning. No heart beat. No breathing. No screaming. Nothing. I opened my eyes to three shadowed faces staring down at me.
