Okay so here's chapter 2. I hope you all like it, and I hope I attract some reviews. So ummm… yeah here it is.
2. Waiting
Bella's Pov:
I wanted to scream, to move, to do something. The fire still burned through me, and I didn't understand what the heck was happening. I was still breathing, but I couldn't seem to get my voice to work. I was sure I'd screamed sometime, but I couldn't hear it. Was I dead? Oh no. What about Edward? Awwww crap! I hoped he knew I loved him. Because I really really did. The fire was burning me, but if I was dead wouldn't there be no pain? No suffering? I'd gone to heaven hadn't I? Or did I? My thoughts slurred together and I couldn't even think straight. I took in another deep breath. It seemed like I was sleeping, but the fire was killing me. It was a dragging pain, it didn't just hit me in waves or anything, just kept going. I tried to peak my eyes open, but they felt as if someone super glued them shut. I just sat still and let the pain run it's course.
Edward Pov:
We brought Bella back to our place in order to wait it out. She'd only been here twice, and already she would consider it her home. That was if she survived. Rosalie was being a stuck up priss and refused to even come with us to try and save Bella. Now she was being a little brat because everyone-including her husband-were giving there full attention to Bella. My sweet angel. I was lying on my bed beside her, holding her hand and whispering comforting things in her ear. Her hand was still limp, and I kept wishing she would squeeze it back. But she never did. Her heart was still beating so she wasn't dead, or changed yet. It had been days since I'd hunted and my eyes had gone from the golden tint to sheer black. I was thirsty yes, but I refused to go hunting. I wanted to be there when she woke up.
The third day came and went and this got me to grow nervous. Her heartbeat was as normal as it had been a week before all of this happened. She should be changed by now, she should be awake. "Alice?" I said just loud enough for her to hear. "Yes?" she asked the excitement in her eyes left as soon as she saw Bella's changing figure lying next to me. "She's not awake yet." I whispered. "Oh." was her reply. She closed the door and came to sit at the bottom of my bed. "What's up?" she asked. "Can you see it yet?" I asked. "Let me see." she said as she pressed her fingers to her temple.
Bella was lying there next to me, then she gasped had sat up straight. She smiled at me, and I smiled back.
The vision changed:
Bella was lying right next to me. We could hear her heartbeat and then it stopped. She never took another breath. She turned cold, and I knew she was dead.
Then it flickered again:
Her heartbeat stopped and she took in a deep breath, but she never opened her eyes. She kept breathing, but she didn't ever wake up.
"Thanks anyway Alice." I whispered as I brought her from her trance. She caught my eye, "I'm sorry. Really I am." "You were her best friend Alice, if she doesn't change, she's your loss too." I replied. "Yes, but you weren't just her friend Edward." she whispered and then she left me with the "changing" Bella.
Carlisle came in an hour later, "Any sign yet?" I shook my head, "Hearts still beating and she's still breathing." his eyes locked with mine and his thoughts flooded my head, Her change might be different because she knew ahead of time what we are and what may have happened. And what did happen. Maybe she wanted this. We'll never know, but we need to create a story for Charlie.
I nodded, "Car accident?" "Yeah." he said. Then he left me to lie there and remark on everything that happened. Jasper came in to see if he could find anything out, "God it's terrible." My eyes went wide. "What? What's terrible?" I demanded. The emotions coming off of her are so strong." he replied trying to deal with it without leaving the room. "What are they?" I asked. "Well, she's in pain, I know that. But she feels scared, and loved, and lost, and confused. All at the same time." he said. I looked down at the angel lying so still and oblivious to what was happening. "Can you help her?" I asked. He nodded, "I can try." The he put both hands on her shoulders, and the waves of emotion that came off of him were very strong, even I began to relax. I wondered how Bella was taking it.
Bella Pov:
I felt calm all of a sudden and began to relax a little. The fear, and the confusion disappeared almost completely, but the feeling of being so lost inside my own head was still very clear. I tried to think clearly, but there was no way I could. Then I drew in a sharp breath and let out a scream. I couldn't hear it, but I knew I did. I didn't breathe for a few more seconds, and then I took another deep breath. I felt all the comfort, and relaxation leave as the pain subsided too. I could move around now, but when I did, I didn't like it so I just kept still. My eyes still wouldn't open, and I still couldn't hear, but I felt better.
Edward Pov:
Jasper kept his hands on her and kept pushing emotion onto her. I watched to see if there would be a reaction, and then there was. Her heartbeat stopped altogether and then she let out a scream. My hands flew to my ears, as did jasper's only he fell to the floor and cried out. Then it cut off, and I held my breath. If she breathed she was changed, if she didn't she was gone. I waited and started down at Bella, her eyelids didn't open or flutter, but she did take a deep breath, and I knew the transition was complete. "Alice!" jasper called. Alice came in and then stopped. Her eyes glossed over and I listened.
It was night, Bella's eyes fluttered and then opened. I couldn't see the color, but she sat up and stared at me. Then she hugged me tightly and the whole family gathered around us to welcome her and explain everything.
The vision faded and so did all of my troubles. The darkness was almost completely taking over the sky outside. I smiled to myself. Ummm… Earth to bro? Jasper's thought caught my attention. I looked over to him. "Yeah?" I asked. "What did she see?" he asked. "Bella's gonna wake up soon." I replied. Happiness gushing out of me. He rolled his eyes, "Your funny." I smiled, "Yep." I took Bella's hand and jasper touched her shoulder to see if he could find any emotion that would tip the scales on her balance. "Anything?" I asked. "Nope." he replied. I nodded and waited out the long night.
Dawn approached and past when Bella still laid unmoving. I was growing worried by now, and I had her in my arms. Rocking her like a baby, I prying that nothing had gone wrong. I listened to her even breathing and was soothed slightly until Alice knocked on the door. "Come on I Alice." I said. She did and then shut the door behind her. "Look, Jasper and I are going hunting, Carlisle thinks you should come." she started. "No." I replied coldly. "Edward, your thirsty, and Bella's probably going to be scared of you when she wakes. So come hunting. We'll stay close so you can hear if she wakes." "When? Cause she sure didn't wake last night like your vision said she would." I snapped. "The vision didn't say when she would wake, it just said she would!" she snapped right back. I growled at her, but she just ignored me. "Besides, Bella wouldn't be very pleased if she new you'd been depriving yourself for her. It'll happen at night anyway, so you have plenty of time." she pressed. "Fine!" I growled. "But then will you get off my back?" She shrugged, "Depends." I watched as she flitted from the room to go tell jasper that I was coming.
"I'll be back soon. I promise." I whispered as I kissed Bella on her cheek. Then I disappeared down the hall to meet Alice and Jasper. "Esme, can you keep an eye on Bella for me?" I called out. Esme was there in a second, "Sure I can." She went upstairs and into my room. I turned to Alice and Jasper, "Let's get this over with." jasper rolled his eyes and Alice started out the door.
I followed reluctantly.
