Previously:

James: Just to see Cullens face when his precious Bella died by my doing.


Edward was trying to keep me calm outside room 121. Someone had broken in last night and vandalized the assembly hall in which we all were supposed to get the vaccination.

No good punks.

"And my dad said that the hospital was sending out professionals who are trained to react if something does go wrong with the shots, which isn't likely." Edward had the up-most respect and faith in each word his father said. It was easy to see why though, Dr. Carlisle Cullen is a great, honest, noble man.

"I'm trained to react too you know..." Alice said behind us, talking with Jasper Hale. "You are Alice?" I couldn't help but wonder what she meant; her sly grin showed she wasn't serious.

"Well Bella, let's use you for example." I gulped when she said this. "If you faint or something, I'll know how to react." I couldn't help but ask, "How do you react then?" Her smile grew wider and eviler.

"I'd laugh."
"Excuse me?"
"I said I'd react...I never said I'd react badly."

I scowled at her, she had me on a whim, I had at least hoped there would be someone in there who knew what to do if I reacted badly.

Only if I reacted badly.

I tried to think positively, but Alice's tease just plagued my mind with worry. Jasper leaned over her shoulder to help. "Bella, honestly. You have more of a chance of being struck by lightning than have a fatal reaction to the H1N1 vaccine."

Jasper's scientific talk and encouraging smile erased my nerves, if Einstein had great-great grandchildren; Jasper was defiantly one of them. I barely tried to beat him in science class anymore; even a nerd like me couldn't defeat him.

He then began chuckling, "Don't mind this annoying little devil." He press a finger under Alice's chin and tilted her head back to kiss her. Edward and I awkwardly turned away, I did have feelings, more than just a crush for him but....it was too scary to say them out to him.

Rejection would be more lethal than any injection.

"Good luck today Swany, hope you don't die." James, Victoria and Laurent stared at our little gang as they stalked on, shoving kids out of their way to be top of the line.

"Jerks." Edward mumbled, I nodded in agreement with him and continued to watch as, one by one students were called into the two separate rooms, 121 and straight across from it 151. In a blink of an eye, I was at the top of the queue, Edward behind me, then Alice, then Jasper.

"Bella Swan?" the administrator asked, I noticed she had almost my whole class list's forms in front of her along with photos. They were taking this very seriously.

"Yes."
"Room 121."

I nodded, taken my form back and entering the large classroom. All the desks were pushed to the side, four remained in the middle where four nurses sat each with little containers and gloves.

Outside, I heard the raspy voice of the administrator again. "Edward Cullen?" I heard Edward respond. "Room 151, cross the hall." I sighed disappointedly, I had hoped Edward would be here for support, but also glad he wasn't here in case I did faint.

"Alice Cullen?"
"Yep!"
"Room 121."
"Okay!"

Alice bounced through the door then danced to my side. At least someone I knew was here, especially since there were three others in here. James was in the middle of getting his needle, I noticed the disgusted glare from the nurse as she held his arm up, even the off-white, greenish liquid in the needle looked much cleaner than his skin.

Laurent and Victoria stood at his side, both wearing the white tissue over their arms, guess after the shots were done this will be the fashion craze of the day, kids wearing white bandages and wincing whenever they lifted their arms.

James smiled at me as I lined up near the first desk, a smile of anticipation and excitement. It was still a dark smile though, whatever he did anticipate was bad.

"Next please?" A young male nurse asked. He smiled a wide grin, flexing his muscles as he threw the used needle in the bin and gestured with his hand for me to approach. Though his short curly hair and dimples were attractive, I found him intimidating.

As though reading my mind, Alice patted my shoulder and skipped past me to sit next to the mountainous man. "I'll show you Bella, there's nothing to fear." She smiled and nodded to the man to continue. I stared as he rolled up her sleeve and wiped a tissue of the selected spot. The wince escaped me when the metal pierced her skin though the only sign she felt it was a slight tightening of her eyes but she kept her smile.

Once she was done and a joke from the nurse "Would you like a lollipop?" Alice jumped out of the chair and locked her arm through the gap between my elbow and ribs, leading me to a beautiful blond nurse, this was another reason I was glad Edward wasn't in here, this un-known older woman's beauty hit my self-esteem like a steam train.

"What's your name?" she asked boredly, I couldn't help but feel intimated, just like with the mountain man. "B-Bella." A click of her tongue showed her impatience. I handed her the form and she only glanced at it. I could have sworn she muttered something about my form being "average."

Shrugging, I gave up on guessing what she meant.

"So, eh, how long have you been a nurse?" I thought that building a trust through conversation could work. "Long enough to know how to stab a needle in some snot-nosed kid." I shivered at her choice of words, she just smiled darkly at me though.

"What-what's that?" I asked when she pressed a swab with white lump to my arm. "Numbing cream, now be quiet and stay still." She stuck it there and turned back to her table of tools.

I felt a squeeze on my hand and turned to see Alice, smiling encouragingly. Letting a deep breath out, I tried not to focus on the white cloth stuck to her left forearm and more on her useless babble about last week's English paper. I knew she only talked about school work to try hold my attention but something else did.

The victorious glare from James' eyes. It felt as though he had beaten me at something.

The question was, what was it?


Oh! Will the gang realise Jame's evil plan or will Bella fall to his mercy?

Bella and the Needle needs your support readers!
