Chapter 4- Awake

APOV:

Carlisle and I ran through the forest as fast and as we have ever ran. I assured him at this pace we will get to Bella in time for him to help her.

I found Bella face up in the river I could smell her blood that was floating from her leg where she must have hurt it in the car accident. I held my breath so I wouldn't be tempted, I dived in and pulled her so Carlisle could give her CPR and tend to a few broken bones I assumed she would have and the tear that was all down her leg.

I'm glad Edward is not here to see this he would be crushed. Edward! I forgot I should call him again. I tried to call him twice more times but with no avail. He must think I am trying to comfort him. Maybe it was better he wasn't here. Sifting through a few visions I am positive he would have torn his mind to pieces with even more guilt that he was suffering with. A gurgling sound that came from Bella spitting up the water that was stuck in her lungs interrupted my thoughts.

Carlisle immediately told me to bring her to the house and into his study room so the others, particularly Jasper I thought would stay clear of her wound. I would have to warn them.

As soon as I set her down I picked up the phone and called Jasper, "Tanya hurt Bella she's at the house badly wounded. You'll find Edward in the meadow," He knew better than to judge my direction " get him to the house and then you stay away… I don't want anything to happen." I hung up and went quickly to aid Carlisle.

Carlisle POV:

How could have things gotten this bad? Tanya is our family. I was immediately saddened when Alice explained to me what happened.

I treated Bella for several broken bones in her right leg and arm. I gave her some morphine for the pain she would be going through and waited for Edward to come to see what will happen when she came to.

Bella's POV:

Everything is so soft and lovely the voices must be angels nothing else could sound so sweet. Almost as if I could touch the sound… it would be fluffy like the softest cloud. I listened to this wondrous song for such a long time but I didn't want it to end especially when I heard his voice.

Who was he? Certainly I would love to see him if only my eyes would open to see the angel who's voice I will never forget. It seemed almost familiar to my heart.

I had to pry my eyes open they almost seemed stuck. How long had they been closed?

The first thing I saw was the most beautiful almond eyes I have ever seen before. But I don't remember seeing eyes before… so how did I know they were eyes? It didn't matter to me as long as those eyes stayed there forever I wouldn't care about anything.

"Bella? Bella… are you okay?" he said to me. I looked around the room and there were 6 other angels standing, staring at me but I had to look back to that boy. Was he calling me Bella?

"Who is Bella?" Confusion swept everyone's faces.

"… You are Bella. Do you know who I am?" Am I supposed to know who he is? I wish I did know I wanted to kiss him but that would be strange he didn't know me at all… yet he looked at me as if he did and I felt as if I did…

"No," I stammered, "At least I don't think I do. You all seem familiar. Especially you." I blushed. I had rushed through that sentence. I have to be more careful about what I say, that didn't make me feel very comphortable.

One of the blondish angels checked my temperature and bandages that I had on my arm and leg. I winced as he probed to hard. I couldn't help bust ask it, it was at the tip of my tongue but I didn't want to seem silly so I whispered it hoping the others wouldn't be able to hear me. "Are you angels?"

"No Bella, we are your friends. My name is Carlisle and this," he brought Edward into my line of sight as if I wasn't keeping tabs on him from my peripheral vision "is Edward." Oh the ring of his name made me shudder. I closed my eyes and felt the warmth that came after. Yet oddly enough I felt mildly angry with him. How could I be angry with so beautiful a boy?

"Can you tell me how many fingers I have up?"

"4"

He tapped my leg, which hurt a bit, but I sustained it in. "Did that hurt?"

"Umm, no. But I felt it." I lied. I looked down at my body. "What happened to me?"

They explained what had happened to me. Apparently I got into a car crash, they were behind me in another car and brought me here because Carlisle was a doctor. I didn't understand why they didn't take me to a hospital or why they were in a car behind me. It seemed as if they were leaving many things out, I felt it in my bones but I saved the questions for later. My eyes were starting to close.

Edwards POV:

Amnesia, a blessing and a curse. I always endanger her life and this time it is too close. Without her knowing who I am and all of our secrets I could leave her life. It was an option again. But I could see the old Bella, that same love she had for me before glistening in the same brown eyes. I pondered this a moment and let it sink in, trying with all of my will power to fight her eyes but as always inevitably my will power always lost against her. How could I leave her? I feel almost grateful that she doesn't remember what happened … before. I would never be able to forgive myself if I kept it a secret. She should have a choice and hopefully she will make the right choice this time and see how bad I am for her. How much I don't deserve her love and I will never be able to hurt her ever again.

I hung my head and looked down at the ground from the top of the tallest tree in the woods.

And Tanya… When I got my hands on her, no matter how courteous I am with women, will NEVER roam the earth again. It is a promise I am making to myself and to my precious Bella. I had to get back to her side. So I could hear her mutter my name in her sleep.
