OMG!! Please, please, please forgive me for taking so long to update. Sorry, I really don't have an excuse other than summer camp and piano practice, but now I will try to update once every three to four days. I am kind of disappointed that only one person wanted to help with the discussing of future plans, so I decided not to do it. And just so you know you missed out on chapter previews. Well, I better get to writing before I bore you to death, so here you go…
Previously: "I think I know what Edward has." He said. I was so happy in that moment, that I just hugged Edward. "Don't get too excited yet." I felt my heart drop into my stomach. Why shouldn't I be excited?
Chapter Four
"I know you might think it's good to know what Edward has, but there are two options. Neither are good options." Carlisle stated. He looked worried. I think that he thought I would start crying again.
"Go on." I encouraged. I needed to know what was wrong with Edward. I would do anything to make him better.
"Alright, I will tell you the better option first. It doesn't have a name so I will just describe it. It starts out with shooting pains coursing through your body, but it is slowly turning him back into a human. In the end you die because, one by one, his organs start working, but the heart is the last to start working and without the heart the other shut down and he will die. There is a cure, but it is different for every person. We will have about two months to figure out what the cure is. The… well I guess you would call it sickness, isn't contagious so we wouldn't have to worry about that. This is the most likely option." Carlisle finished. I could barley think of something worse. Being in pain for two months then dying. I felt so bad for my love.
"Carlisle, what is the other option? I don't want to take any chances by just assuming we know what he has." I looked at Edward. Even with his face contorted in pain, he still looked like a god. Why a god would be put through this, I will never understand. I wish it was I who had gotten sick. He deserved so much more than what he was being put through. Why he loves me I will never know.
"Bella, I will make it through this, and we will be together, get married, and I will change you. Do not doubt that. I will love you- Ahhrg!" He couldn't finish his thought as he screamed in pain. My poor Edward.
"I love you, too. You're going to be fine. Just hang in there. Please, Carlisle, what is the other option?"
"Well, it is called the Vampire Disease. I haven't seen a case in years. It starts off with shooting pains just like the first, but the pain gets worse and worse. It's actually burning him from the inside out, until about three weeks later, he turns to dust. The only cure is for him to drink from a human, then change the person, and drink their venom. It is a very contagious disease, and the only way we know this is what he has, is if someone else catches it. It is very likely for this to spread all over the world. The last time it happened hundreds of vampires caught it, and hundreds of vampires were born as cures." Carlisle was very worried after he said that. I couldn't tell what exactly he was worried about, but it was really bothering him.
This disease sounded so much worse than the first option. After every sentence my heart dropped a little lower, and Carlisle's expression wasn't helping any. Edward couldn't die I would do anything to save him. Alice would be able to tell what he had if she looked for our future, but if someone caught it we wouldn't have to. I hope no one else gets it. That was an empty hope because soon after someone screamed.
"Emmet, no!" I heard Rosalie scream. "Carlisle, come, quick!"
"Let's go." He said to me and we ran towards where Rosalie was screaming from. When we got to her room, we saw her dry sobbing over a screaming Emmet. He was writhing in agony, and couldn't open his eyes, just like Edward.
"This is your fault. It has to be. Nothing happened like this before you came along!" She screamed and then lunged at me. She had me pinned to the floor. I needed to do something, quick.
"Rosalie, this isn't going to help Emmet or Edward. Just, stop." Her eyes softened for a moment, then turned back to their original harshness.
"Don't tell me what to do, this is your fault. You did this. Who else could it be?"
"Rosalie, please let me get up. Edward must have caught it from another vampire, and Emmet caught it from Edward. This is not my fault. Please, Rosalie, let me up. There is even a cure, which we can give easily. They're going to fine. We're going to be fine." She had stopped holding me down, but collapsed in my arms and started dry sobbing. I started rubbing her back, and comforting her like Edward comforts me.
"I'm sorry. You're right. It's just easier to put the blame on someone. I'm sure Emmet will make it through, right?" Rosalie seemed so sincere. I hope she'll be alright.
"I'm positive he'll make it through, but right now, I think he just needs you to comfort him and be with him. Let's go see him." When she knock me down we ended outside her room, and she closed and blocked the door, so no one could come help me. She grabbed my hand and went in the room. Everyone looked at us wide-eyed because we were holding hands, but soon everyone's attention was on Emmet and Carlisle.
"Carlisle, Bella said there was a cure for this. What is it?" Rosalie asked. She was looking very hopeful. I hoped we could save Edward and Emmet.
"Well, he will have to drink from a human change them, and drink some of their venom. We only have three weeks to do this, before he turns to dust." Carlisle had that same worried look when he told Rosalie this. "Two vampires can use one human as a cure, but no more than that."
"I could do it. Edward was going to change me any way, and I could make myself useful. Please, consider it. We could do another vote." Everyone looked like they were contemplating it in their head. I
hope they say yes. It would get me changed sooner, and by Edward. I wish they would hurry up and make a decision.
Okay that's it for this chapter. I hope to have another one up by Wednesday, but I will definitely have one up by Friday. Thanks for all those who reviewed. This time if you review, and more than two words, I will give you a preview of the next chapter. But, Shi-Toyu, I will still discuss ideas with you if you want. Thanks for reading.
