Chapter 1: Trust is earned or is it?
She leans forward, balancing barley on her tip toes looking straight into the basin two little dark holes, but one less than dark, hiding or obscuring a mouth perhaps. She frowns still moving forward and two dark eyes looking straight at her, burning into her sole. Could it be? She takes her cell phone trying to take a picture; I mean a face in the basin, what are the odds of that?
She takes the picture and the flash blinds her, umff, she falls off the toilet hitting her forehead hard on the basin, stammered backwards and hit the back of her neck on the toilet, falling to the side, and stumbling head first into the bath. Blood squashing around her, quickly fills the tub, drowning her.
"Bella! Honey I'm home, Bella, where are you!" A voice calls, opening the door. "What did I tell you about…? Bella, Bella, O my … Honey can you hear me!" She rushes forward grabbing the girl turning her around in the bath tub. Blood smearing her hands, she franticly grabs the towel trying to clear the girl's mouth and nose. "Phil!" She cries out.
"What! Did Bella fell again…?" He chuckles, standing in the door and in front of him, his wife trying to give CPR to her girl, blood covering the walls of the bath. "I'm calling 911, don't panic she'll be ok." Phil tells her turning around dialing.
Beeping, annoying noise in the back ground with an alarm keeps on touching the girl's senses. Calling her, nagging. All she wants to do is sleep but the fog is lifting, pain is seeping through, she groans, whimpers trying to open her eyes.
"The moment that a woman becomes a mother is the moment she learns the meaning of love at first sight." A hoarse voice whispers in her ear.
"Bella, honey I love you, please come back to me, don't leave, all will be well. Open your eyes. Please..." A sobbing voice, crying, begging her to open her eyes.
A burning fire creeping slowly through her veins morphing into the pounding behind her eyes, leaving her breathless the girl opens her eyes. She whimpers "Mom."
"Baby, I missed you so much..." The woman trying to touch her but her hand slightly hovering on top of the girl's bandaged head. Not really knowing where to touch as everything is covered in white bandages.
A man's hoarse voice: "Bells, thank you God!" He touches her bandaged hand, holding it in his big hand. "Are you in pain?" The girl moans: "Daddy?"
"I'm here baby." He whispers in her ear.
Looking up at his ex-wife: "Rene, could you get the doctor, she's in pain..." He asks.
Rene turns around about to leave and the door opens up letting the doctor through.
"Ms. Swan, how are you doing?" She asks, walking forward to the drip. "In pain, I see." She says softly, adjusting the IV, giving more pain medication. "There you go, that should help. Feeling better now?" The doctor looks into Bella's eyes taking her left arm, testing the pulse with her fore and middle finger.
Bella shudders, the doctor's hands are very cold, but she's beautiful, with long blond hair and golden eyes, looking deep into her soul, so compassionate.
"It's helping ..." Bella replies so softly, blushing bringing much needed color to her pale cheeks.
"Good." The doctor replies. "I'm Doctor Rosalie McCarthy, you can call me Dr. Rosalie, and can you tell me what you remember?"
"Wait just one minute, my daughter is not fee ..." Charlie interferes with the doctor's enquiry, standing up fast, the chair moving back, tumbling over.
"Dad!" Bella calls.
"Charlie!" Rene whispers aghast.
"Mr. Swan, please calm down." Dr. Rosalie looks at him. "I mean no harm, in cases like these it's important to verify what the patient remembers." She looks apagogically at Bella. "Please can I see you two outside?" She asks looking at Charlie and Rene. "Now" She says sternly, walking outside the room.
Charlie looks embarrassed at Bella "Sorry Bells, I'll be back now."
Rene looks at Charlie "Really you had to take it out on the doctor; she's just doing her job. If she doesn't want us to stay with Bella it will be your fault. You know you always just thinks about you're ..." While she's talking Dr. Rosalie peaks her head into the room and telling the parents "Please, a word outside!" Her voice cold and her eyes black both parents hurry fast to the door, thinking that the beautiful doctor looks mad.
Dr. Rosalie looks sternly at both of them "I need to know if there was any brain damage, no I'm speaking now you will get your turn." She huffs when Charlie wanted to say something.
"I want you two to get some rest and no it's not negotiable. You are tired; it has been a tough three days. Go home, go shower, eat and sleep and I will see you both here tomorrow morning bright and early?"
"Please for Bella, she needs her rest. Go tell her goodbye, I will call you if there is any change. Go and rest, you will need it. There is a lot of decisions that must be made now and the only way to do that is if both of you are well rested!" Dr. Rosalie stated, waving for the security guard.
The world is darker then I remembered, red like blood is flowing touching every drop of sky every flower every tree fingers running through my hair and topaz eyes smiling at me. The mountain underneath me is built in bodies, thousands of innocence begging me for release, begging me for understanding, but the monster is at bay his eyes are red, he's looking for me, he will find me? There is no place to run but topaz eyes are begging me calling to me. How do I fight the inevitable, it's just a matter of time, I'm so thirsty – he's close. Where can I hide, please where can I hide?
A voice and cold hands on my head, "Shuu your save, nobody is going to hurt you, relax, take a deep Bella, come on WAKE up open your eyes, your save, come now open your eyes!"
I opened my eyes and Dr. Rosalie is smiling down at me, long blond hair on her shoulders her eyes topaz?
"It's ok honey, she smiles softly at me. You're having a nightmare, but you're safe here, nobody will harm you here. Can you tell me what you remember?" She asks softly.
"I don't know I think I don't know…" the girl stammers thinking to herself what the doctor will think if she knows about the face in the basin.
"Bella" Dr. Rosalie looks at her, her eyes compassionate "Don't lie you're terrible at it! What do you remember?"
"I'm a klutz and I thought I saw something and then I lost my footing …" She blushes "I feel so stupid …"
Dr. Rosalie looking at her with dark topaz eyes a look of thoughtfulness crossing her face.
Bella's heart rate picks up and heart machine starts to beep. She blushes more and the Dr. smirks looking at her replying: "I know you don't trust me it is something that must be earned. I will tell you again I mean you know harm and you can trust me with anything. That being said I can wait but the question is can you afford to wait?"
They just look at each other topaz and brown eyes Bella feels so uncomfortable it seems to her that Dr. Rosalie knows something.
The Dr. suddenly stood up straight "It's ok Bella you are tired, get some sleep we will continue this conversation at another time. I have to go now …" The door opens up and a nurse appears: "Doctor we have a code blue in room 124 …"
Dr. Rosalie turns around replying: "I'm on my way." She turns around slightly smiling at Bella telling her with a soft voice "go to sleep!" She turns around and following the nurse out of the room.
That was close the girl thought to herself lying back closing her eyes drifting into a peaceful sleep where topaz eyes and strong arms are holding her, keeping her save and the scent of vanilla and chocolate filling her senses – at peace.
