Bella's P.O.V
"Bye, bye!" we waved good bye to our guests, and soon it was only Mike, Tyler, Angela, Jessica, Lauren, Ben, Eric, Laura May, Tiago and the Denali s left. "I'll email you, please visit," murmured Laura May to Tiago, who nodded and stared at her as if he was trying to hold her forever with his eyes. "I promise, mia belissima, I will never be apart from you for long." They kissed. Tanya rolled her eyes. "Let's go, Tiago, the party's over." Tiago frowned, but with one last fleeting gaze at his beloved they ran into the night. Tyler was taking Ben and Eric in his car and the others in Mikes suburban. Laura May was going with Angela in her car, because they were driving straight to collage. The moment Tyler got in his car Alice gasped. We stared at her as her eyes went blank. Jasper hurried to her side. "What have you seen, Alice?" We all gathered around her. "Bye, Bella, visit us soon," "Yeah!" shouted Tyler as he started his engine. I was too busy concentrating on Alice to notice. Suddenly it all happened in slow motion. Tyler was speeding down the driveway when Laura May stepped out to get in Angela's car. I watched in horror as it sped towards her, her eyes wide in the dark. Tyler was slamming on the breaks, screaming for her to get out the way. Then the thump as she flew off the bonnet and hit the gravel with a crunch and then the car skidded to a halt beside her. We all flew into action. My family were at her side instantly, but Esme went to comfort Tyler, who looked petrified. "She's dead, isn t she?" Angela was sobbing. I heard Alice whisper to Carlisle, only low enough for vampire senses. "Tiago's coming. Bite her, Carlisle that was my vision."
"Why didn't you stop her?" "Because the decision was uncertain. Tyler was going to go in Mike s car, but the moment he stepped into his car the decision changed. I was too busy with my vision about Tiago to tell you." Carlisle nodded and pressed a hand to Laura-May's wrist. He looked up at my friends with sad eyes. "She is dead. I must go and take her inside." With a glance at my family he left. I knew he was lying, I could still hear her heart beat, although it stuttered on the point of stopping. All chaos broke loose. My human friends started crying and weeping, and Tyler was in an uncontrollable heap on the floor. My senses were becoming haywire and I wanted to go indoors. Edward touched my hand and we fled inside.
Carlisle was bending over Laura May. Her face was pale and a trickle of blood was running down from her forehead. Carlisle looked up at our entrance. "There's some internal bleeding and broken bones, but there's nothing the venom can't heal. I need to get her somewhere safe before she starts... before the venom starts working." I knew what he was going to say. Before she starts screaming. Before her friends start to get suspicious. Carlisle picked her up and we flew out of the house and across the river to mine and Edwards s cottage. We lay her on our bed and watched. Suddenly the door flew open. "Where is mia Laura-May? Where is she?" Tiago burst in, and then he caught sight of her. "No!" he shouted. He lay by her side and sobbed. He lifted his head and smelt her skin: "She has been bitten? I can smell the venom." Carlisle bowed his head. "Yes, Tiago, I regret it but it was that or death." Tiago nodded. "At least she will be like me, un vampiro. I love her, you see." I felt a sudden surge of pity for the vampire before me; I looked at his mournful eyes and saw a trace of Edward in there, as he was when I was dying. I patted his arm. "She'll be okay, Tiago. You can stay with her if you like." He smiled slightly. "Grazie, Bella. I think I will." Edward beckoned outside and I followed. "Oh, I hope Laura May is okay." I said. "I'm sure she will be." Edward kissed my lips gently. "I love you." "I love you too."
And then the screaming started.
