CHAPTER 3:The Dagger
I awoke to an evil amount of pain shooting through my abdomen. I pushed the urge to scream by only letting out a light whimper. My eyes opened to blackness. I tried to sit up but I couldn't. I felt bandages on my arm. Lifting my hand to rest on my forehead. My fingertips lightly touched a bruise on my temple. A slow beam of light comes from my side. I realize that it's a candle when I turn my head.
"Hello, Bella." Someone says from the darkness. I adjust my eyes and smile.
"Carlisle." I say with a slight amount of happiness.
"How do you feel?"
"Like shit. You?" I answered. He chuckled lightly.
"I'm as good as I could be a the present moment," He helps me sit up, leaning against a wall. We're back in the cabin. I take in Carlisle's appearance. He's wearing a button down shirt, tucked part way into his work pants. His hair is loose and brushed back. Light dirt is smeared on his neck.
"How did you get here."
"Edward contacted me." He answered slowly. At the mention of his name, my eyes open wide.
"Where is he?"
"I sent him out to hunt. He was pretty bad."
"Oh. " I whisper. "How is Esme?"
"Safe."
"Good. Have you heard anything about the others."
"Rosalie is with Esme." His voice is sad.
The door creaks open, and Edward walks in. He sees that I am awake, and walks over. He throws his jacket on the floor.
"Bella, love. Are you alright?" He says, taking my hands. I nod meekly.
"She's a strong one." Carlisle says, standing up. I pull Edward towards me, wrapping my bandaged arms around his neck. I snuggle my face into his shoulder. His arms wrap around my back, and I whimper. He lets go of me, leaning back. I keep my hands on his shoulders.
"It hurts." I whisper. He smiles sympatheticly.
"I must leave." Carlisle says from behind Edward. Edward looks up at him, and then , after lightly kissing me, he stands up.
"Keep safe." Carlise says, taking Edward into a fatherly hug.
"You too." Edward says. I cough. Carlisle smiles, and leans down. He hugs me as well, being careful of my wounds.
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do." I whisper in his ear, and he laughs. He stand up and puts on his coat.
"I'll try to keep in touch." He whispers to Edward, and then he's gone. After a moment Edward came towards me, sitting down next to me. I saw his eyes were a light honey color. I wonder what he ate. He slides his arm under me, taking me into his arms. I keep back the pain. He sits me infront of him, and lifts up the back of my shirt. He leans forward, kissing the back of my neck gently. He takes his cold hands, lightly placing them on my wounds. I let out a slow breath. He's soothing the pain. He kisses my back, and I soften under his touch. I lean forward, resting my face on my knees. His fingers and lips memorize every mark, every scratch on my back.
The door creaks open and I sit up suddenly.

"Liam?" A whisper in the air. I recognize the voice and crawl out of the shadows. Arthur is standing there, a package in his hands. He looks me up and down and a smile plays on his face.
"You look like Hell. What did ye' get into?" He sniggers.
"You don't want to know." I hold my hand out, and Arthur places it in my hand. I quickly push it into my pocket. "I've got to go."
"Stay outta trouble." Arthur says. He takes me into a friendly hug, and then I'm running,with a limp, down the dark hallway. My leg doesn't hurt half as much as it did before Isabella fixed it up. I was thankful for her help, and now I was going to help her.
I run into the court yard, heading for the way out, but a figure is standing there. I stop 3 feet away.
"Liam Costus." The figure speaks.
"Jaques." I say slowly."Just let me go." Jaques' eyes are a deep purple today. He must've just gotten his dose.
"That's not possible." He takes out a dagger and comes toward me, I try to block him but he's too fast. The blade slips right into my stomach. I fall back onto my knees and he laughs."You shouldn't of left. We don't defend humans."
"No but you keep vampires hostage." I say under my breath.
"Only when they're speacial. And the girl is."
I stand up and punch him in the face with a bloody wrist. He falls back. I've knocked him out. I bend down and grab his money. I may need it. Then I'm gone. I know exactly where I am going.
