Rescued.
Chapter 2.
I was very much lost in the woods, I'd been walking for hours, I went towards the sound of the river and took the path along the river bank, back towards Forks. I was lost in the music I had playing quietly on my ipod and the sweet sound of the light breeze through the trees and the gush of the water, when a flash of bright pink caught my eye. It looked like clothes being swept along in the water, until I realised they were wrapped around a body, a child's body. I didn't stop to drop my ipod or keys or even kick off my sneakers I just dived straight into the water, the current was strong, but I was a strong swimmer. I managed to grab the clothes and pulled the child into my arms, holding her tight until I could fight my way through the current back to the bank. As I climbed out of the water she felt limp in my arms, I placed her on the ground and without thinking twice about it I checked for vitals, and when I found none I started CPR. It was several minutes before water spouted from her mouth and she opened her eyes and gasped for breath, once she saw me she threw her arms around my neck and cried.
"Shush, there sweetie, you're safe now." I said hugging the tiny bundle, I wrapped my now soaked jacket around her too and rubbed her back.
I sat down on the bank to catch my breath, but she never loosened her hold on me.
"Hey, look at me." I said softly to her, she didn't move so I gently lifted her chin, she looked up at me with the prettiest green eyes I'd ever seen, her lip quivering. "You are safe now, okay? Can you tell me what happened to you?" I asked.
She sniffled for a few minutes before she nodded, through her sniffles she attempted to explain.
"I. I was in meadow wid unca Eddy, he was s sweeping, I foyod a b bunny wabbit and swipt in water." she explained.
"Oh you poor pumpkin, that must have been so scary, your uncle Eddy must be frantic looking for you." I said. She nodded but hugged me tighter, resting her head on my shoulder, I didn't know anyone in Forks called Eddy, but there were more people in town because of the wedding. "Are you staying with your uncle Eddy?" I asked.
She sniffed and her lip pouted out adorably, "I don't have anyone else, my m mamma and daddy ave gone to eaven." she said causing her tears to fall again. It made my heart ache, feeling this little girls pain made my anger and frustration feel so unimportant, and I instinctively wanted to protect her from any more pain.
"Oh baby girl, we need to get you home, I don't want you getting sick." I told her, the sun was warm on us but we were both soaked to the skin, I got a better hold on her and stood up. "What's your name pumpkin?" I asked.
"V Vanessa Cuyen." she said, "B but I yike pumpkin." she said, making me giggle, she giggled in response, it was a magical sound.
"Well pumpkin, my name is Bella, but you can call me B." I said smiling as she had a hard time pronouncing her L's. So she was a Cullen, well I'd only met Dr Cullen, I'd seen him on my many visits to the ER, but his kids were all grown up and off at college when I was in Forks, so I didn't have a clue where they lived.
I set off walking holding her close, and she nestled her head on my shoulder, "How old are you Pumpkin?" I asked.
"I'm four and one half." she answered sleepily.
"Well sweetie, I'm going to try and get you home and safe as soon as I can, if you're tired you can sleep." I said. She didn't answer but it wasn't much later when her breathing evened out, but her arms remained tight around my neck.
