Chapter 3:
A loud beeping rang threw the hospital room throwing Bella out of her dream world. "She is waking up!" Alice's voice rang threw the room urging her to open her eyes. She noticed a cold hand slipping into her warm one and Edwards soft voice whispering to her.
"Bella, love can you hear me?" He asked his voice filled with concern. She opened her eyes a bit only to quickly close them again because the blinding lights were giving her a headache. "Ouch" She whispered her voice horse as she closed her eyes tighter trying to relieve the pain.
"Bella, are you okay?" Edward asked the concern that laces his voice growing more worried. Bella squeezed his hand in reassurance before trying to open her eyes once more. A door opened in the distance and Carlisle spoke.
"How are you feeling?" He asked getting into full business mode. Bella opened her eyes and saw that He was standing at the foot of the bed staring at her in concern. Looking to her right she saw Alice was sitting in an uncomfortable looking plastic chair, while Edward took his place on the bed by her side. Bella's mind reeled as she wondered what had happened. Did she trip again? Maybe she hit her head that would explain the headache. "Bella?" Carlisle asked after a couple of minutes had passed. She realized that she had yet to answer him.
"I am okay. A little sore and stiff but I am fine." Bella answered but Carlisle did not look so convinced. Images of the break in raced threw her mind confusing her for a bit. She turned her head to Edward in hope that he could give her some answers as to why Dan was in her house, but nothing came out. He looked at her confused and frustrated no doubt wishing that he could tell what was going on in her mind at that moment. She sighed upset by that same fact so she decided to voice her questions.
"What happened to Dan? Why was he in my house?" Bella asked her voice cracking out of thirst. As if reading the situation Alice mumbled under her breath and Jasper came in with a glass of water. He handed the glass to Bella after Edward helped her up earning a thankful glance as she greedily drank the cold liquid. "Jasper and I dropped him off at the police station, and no doubt Charlie is dealing with him now. We had a little fun with him first though, so I don't think he will he back." Emmett laughed entering the room with a smirk on his face. Rose was right behind him giggling and Bella almost felt sorry for the guy, that did not go unnoticed by Jasper as he raised an eyebrow at the girl. Bella held her hands up in defense as she quickly stated "Almost feel bad! It was short lived!" She laughed nervously.
"So what did he want?" Bella asked again turning toward Edward. He placed his hand on her neck and ran his fingers across the chain of her necklace. "This, he wanted this." He whispered so quietly that Bella almost did not hear him. She frowned as she looked down at her neck. The necklace was from her grandmother and it had been in her family for generations. It was an antique cameo. "It not worth anything in cash. I wonder why he would want it." She said aloud.
