Chapter 2: It's happening too fast

AN: thanks so much for everyone's support! I know I haven't updated in literally months, I tried to at xmas on my ipad but that failed, and I have tried to fit it in so many times, but obviously never did.

I want to thank everyone who reviewed, followed and favourited this story! I especially want to shout out to milkecake though, who did all this for both my stories, even though they both are only one chapter long! Also, she is a great friend of mine on fanfiction and everyone should definitely check her profile out – she is awesome! She is a great writer and has written so many great fanfics, most of which I read ALL the time. You will not regret, perhaps, reading her stories and you know the saying: Review, Follow, Fav. Please? She is great.

Anyway here's chapter of The Unknown Lost, and I must just tell you, I promise, despite how long it has taken me to update this story, it is NOT a lost cause. I am currently editing chapter 3 but I have written up to chapter 8. I need some proper free time to do that chapter though, and school is definitely taking up a lot of that at the moment!

Oh! And I know this is a massive time jump, but this is where the plot begins, you've read the rest anyway… And by the way last chapter was actually all from the book, just rewritten in Edwards POV, some got a bit confused over that! Enjoy xxx

I continued to try and resuscitate Bella's heart quickly, desperately trying to force the life back into her. I was pumping the blood round her system, to spread the venom.

The venom must be working by now mustn't it? Why was nothing happening?

"Argh!"

My fist hit extra hard as I tried to control my anger and keep my pace fast, hands gentle but forceful as I worked over my wife's corpse.

No! I wouldn't think like that, I couldn't. She would be coming back alive, that much was sure, soon.

Well sort of alive. In a way.

Just then Jacob came back up the stairs, having only gone down them about 30 seconds ago. But his thoughts showed all. He didn't want to hurt the baby, for Bella's sake, when she came back around.

His thoughts, sadly, weren't as optimistic, which just angered and saddened me deeper. He was clouding my mind with thoughts of Bella never waking up. Thoughts of her never seeing light again.

Of never seeing her again.

Then his thoughts turned much more negative and dark, and sadly I just couldn't ignore them.

Even if she is dead, up in heaven undoubtedly, she wouldn't want me hurting that sick excuse for a child. She wouldn't want me to harm it. I just have to contain myself until I know what is going on and ten maybe I can let go. When I know that she's definitely gone, then I will leave, no harm done…

"SHE IS NOT GONE!" I growled fiercely as Jacob stood up straight and looked at me strongly but sadly.

"She is, either way, you know that."

But I just completely ignored him. But his words had hit home, I knew that being a vampire was being dead, and the strength in is voice reminded me of the alternate life Bella could have lived, had she chosen Jacob, who could protect her just as much as me.

I shut him out after that and focused completely on Bella.

Come on! It has to start working!

Just as I internally screamed this at myself, it happened.

She started to change.

Her hair started coming back to life gaining visible strength and bright vibrant colour, her wounds starting to heal.

And that's when I heard her changing heart and I knew Jacob would of course heard it as well, but there was no doubt as his eyes ever so quickly shot up to me and straight back to Bella.

Her heart started to speed up and that's when I realised something was wrong. Her heartbeat continuously beat faster and faster, by the minute it was exceeding its previous speed. It had only been beating and changing for 2 minutes when it was definitely beating more than 100 times a second.

How is this possible? It doesn't normally happen this fast…

Exactly 27 minutes ago Bella had been in labour with our beautiful baby, Renesmee.

Renesmee!

"Jacob."

I looked up at him, the shock I could physically feel there in my eyes. He was frozen in position, on the spot, staring at Bella and I saw his gaze mirror mine.

"Y-yes?" he stammered out, still frozen, choking on every word.

"We need to talk to Carlisle. Downstairs."

I swallowed.

"It's happening too fast."

"Yes." I simply stated in return.

"Why?"

"I… I don't know."

I gasped out loud when I looked back down at Bella.

She was the most beautiful immortal I have ever seen. Ever. In my 109 years, nothing, nothing, had prepared me for this moment. I felt pleasure, lust; love and adoration float around in my mind, as I took in her body lying in front of my eyes. It didn't surprise me, when I thought about it, that she had turned out to be stunning, she was prettiest human I had ever met. It shouldn't be much of an abnormality that her beauty is brought forward into this life.

And she was rapidly getting more beautiful.

"We have to go see Carlisle…" I said blankly, still dazed.

I sounded like I was choking on air. What was going on with me?

"Will-"

I could see Jacob was finding it hard just to form his question coherently, but I couldn't blame him, we were both in a dazed mind-set. Though I think the shock was hitting him a little harder than me right now.

"Will he know?" He suddenly spluttered out and I looked up from Bella, who was still rapidly changing.

I gazed at him questioningly, telling him with my eyes to elaborate and make more sense. He just continued the question further.

"What's going on with her? Why it's… happening so… fast…" He sounded amazed and confused at the same time.

I tried not to huff as I thought about the best way to answer his question. 'Fast' was an understatement, the change was already washing over her like waves.

I didn't even know the answer to his question, so I decided we had better find Carlisle quick, to find out what we could, fast. Unfortunately I had to admit, the mutt had a point, we needed to find some knowledge on this.

"There's only one way to find out." I simply stated before saying in a little louder tone that I knew all my family could hear,

"Family Meeting."

And as I headed downstairs, I couldn't help but think about the last time I had held one of these.

A long time ago, right at the start, when Bella was still human…

Thanks for reading, lemme know what you think. Yes! I have finally given you guys another chapter! It makes me feel so happy. Phwew!

Uh-oh, now I have to edit Chapter 3…
