Chapter 4 – Blood
Part 12 Edward's POV
Alice burst through the door. When she saw the scene in front of her, she froze, a perturbed look on her face.
I was numb. I couldn't think about anything but Bella, thrashing against Jake's arms and screaming in agony.
"No…Bella…" I whispered, kneeling down by Bella's side. Each of her shrieks cut through me like knives.
"Do something." Jake's voice was ragged with pain. I didn't need to hear his thoughts to know that each of Bella's screams was tearing at him the way that they were tearing at me.
"I…can't."
"But—" Jacob's voice trembled, "You can suck the venom out. You can keep her human."
"No." I couldn't suck her blood again. I wouldn't be able to stop, and then she would be gone forever. "I can't."
"You have to." Jacob's limbs began to shake. "Otherwise she'll…she'll…" Jacob's voice trailed off, lost in his thoughts.
I knew he was right. It was I that left Bella all by herself without anyone to protect her. If I didn't do something now, I would be responsible for singlehandedly destroying any chance of Bella's humanity. If I didn't do something, she would be eternally damned to a life as a nineteen-year-old vampire, ready or not. And each second that I delayed took her farther from life.
"Okay. I'll do it." I gritted my teeth. I looked at Alice, who was biting her lip, but she didn't say anything. I turned back to Bella.
"I'm so sorry, Bella," I said. Then I placed my lips to her wound and sucked her blood, trying to get all the venom out. However, as I drank, I realized that there was too much venom. It had spread too far throughout her body. If I kept drinking, she would die from blood loss.
A/N: I'll update more very soon. Sorry this chapter is so short.
