Chapter 4BPOV
Uhhhhhhhh, my head. No wait, not only my head, my whole body was aching.
I tried to remember what happened and how I ended up here. The wolves! Did they capture me? Am I dead? No that's not right, if I was dead I wouldn't be in pain. So where am I anyways? I slowly opened my eyes.
Bad idea, where ever I was it was so bright! Eventually my vision began to clear; I was in a white room. I remember a place similar to this, a hospital maybe? I don't remember it being this nice.
"I'm going to check on our latest patient, and then I'll tend to Mr. Harrison. I promised Chief Swan I would personally tend to this one" a voice said just outside my door.
I heard the door creek open and that's when I stared into golden eyes.
"Ah! You're awake, I'm glad. You gave us quite a scare, you've been out for a couple of days."
He shut the door behind him and walked towards me with a smile on his face, somehow it comforted me.
Vampire!
My mind screamed. I wasn't even thinking anything out of the ordinary so how did I jump to that conclusion, but I knew that it was right. For a vampire, something was off and it wasn't just the fact that I felt no danger around him.
"Why aren't your eyes red?" I whispered.
He froze, still as a statue. His eyes were wide as he slowly turned to face me. I knew he would have turned pale white if he already wasn't.
"I beg your pardon?" trying to hide his shock and unease.
"Why aren't your eyes red? You're a vampire aren't you?" my voice a little louder, braver.
"I'm sorry miss, but I believe you're mistake. Vampires are just myths, besides you just got hit by a car so there are bound to be some damage to the brain." He tried to convince me.
"Then why are you pale white and your eyes aren't natural!"
How did I even know these things about vampires, I haven't even met one before, have I?
"Miss, please. You're ill, you don't know what you're saying. Just lie down and rest for a while to clear your head." He approached me with his hand stretched out towards me.
A man approached me with an outstretched hand and grabbed my arm. He held onto me with a vice-like grip. I tried to break free but I was too weak. More people came and held me down as they injected me with an unknown fluid. I could feel it coursing through my veins…..
No! Not again, please not again!
Crash!
"Miss….if..thi..is…yo….ur….doing…..ple…eze….stop!"
I looked up from under my arms to see the man pushed against a wall. A huge dent was evidence enough of the sheer force that was used to pound him into the wall. He strained to get down but there seemed to be an unknown force holding him in place.
Horror stricken I wished for his release. Put him down, put him down. With a thud I knew he was free. Had I done that? If so that would explain the incident with the wolves. Had the scientists bestowed upon me powers?
"Thank you. Though I may not need to breathe, pressure against my throat is still very uncomfortable." A hand soothing his now sore throat.
"So you admit you're not human?"
"It would seem I have no choice now, besides you aren't so normal yourself." He retorted.
"Maybe, but I am sorry. I didn't mean to, it's just…..never mind, forget it."
"As you wish but seeing as you can't control your powers I'll have to keep strict watch over you, just to make sure no human gets hurt." A flicker of recognition appeared in his eyes "Are you a vampire?"
"No?" I hesitated "I don't feel any need or desire to drink blood, that's important to being a vampire is it not?"
He seemed reluctant to believe me but gave in. "Very well, then that just makes you a very extra ordinary human doesn't it"
"I guess so" glad he didn't pursue the idea any longer.
"Dr. Cullen, is everything alright? We heard a crash earlier, we waited to see if you would come out but when you didn't we got worried." A woman's voice came from behind the door.
"I'm quite alright, when I entered the patient was still asleep but when I turned she was surprisingly awake. I was just startled and knocked over a few things, I'm cleaning it up right now. I'll be out in a bit, just give me a few minutes." Dr. Cullen answered
"Oh ok, just take your time. Dr. Johnson can take care of Mr. Harrison"
"Thank you very much Cynthia." Her footsteps receding.
"Dr. Cullen was it?"
"Oh my, forgive my manners. I'm Dr. Carlisle Cullen and you miss?"
"Um..Isabella Swan, but please just call me Bella."
"Bella huh? That's a beautiful name." He smiled.
"Thank you Dr. Cul…" "Call me Carlisle, please." "Alright, thank you Carlisle"
"So what is going to happen to me now?"
"Well, I'll have to find a way to become your caretaker for the time being. No offense but with those abilities, I just don't want to take any chance especially with wolves breathing down our necks."
"Wolves? Are they the ones in the forest?"
"You've met them?!" Worry flashed across his handsome features "What did they do, are you alright?"
"I'm fine but they did scare me a bit. I've never seen creatures as big as they were. They questioned me about seeing any leeches, whatever that means."
"That would be what I am, they usually use terms such as 'leech' or 'bloodsucker' when referring to my kind" He said with a sad smile.
"I'm sorry" "Hahaha, don't be. I don't mind, besides my sons have their own nicknames for the wolves so I'd say it evens out."
"I guess" I smiled.
"Hi Cynthia, it's me Alice remember?" a small pixie-like girl said to 'Cindy'.
"Alice? Oh! Dr. Cullen's daughter correct?"
"Yup that's me! I was wondering if I may speak to my father for a minute, it's quite important."
"Sorry but he is with a patient at the moment. " 'Alice' made a sad face.
"I could however page him, to let him know you are here. Would that suffice?"
Alice's face lit up in an instant "Oh yes, please do!"
As Cynthia began to dial the number my vision faded. I became aware of someone shaking me.
"Bella! Bella!" Carlisle's frantic cries reached my ears.
I turned to him "Cynthia is paging you now, it's about your daughter Alice, she's here. She wants to talk to you, she says it's important."
Carlisle looked at me as if I grew a second head "Bella what are you sa…..Buzzzz Buuzzzzz…..Hold that thought." He proceeded to the door to peek his head out, he then lifted his arm as if to wave to someone.
When his whole body reentered the room, he turned to me. "Bella, how did you know? Does it have to do with the fact that your eyes completely lost its pupils for a while?"
My eyes did what?! Do they really do that?! "I have no idea. All I know is that one minute I'm talking to you and then the next I see Alice and Cynthia talking about you and then I'm back here. So I have no idea what happened in between those times. You tell me."
"Curious, I'm sorry Bella but this conversation will have to wait. As you know Alice needs to speak with me, do you mind?"
"Of course not, besides I'll be right here when you're done. I mean where else am I going to go?" I gave him a reassuring smile. He returned it.
"Thank you, just rest for now."
When I heard the door close and I turned to my side, hoping that I would submit to some sleep. All this was so confusing. Why couldn't I just be like everyone else? Exhaustion took over and I peacefully drifted into oblivion.
