A/N: To all of my faithful readers I must say a huge SORRY to for taking so long to update!! I've been away on holiday a lot recently AND i've had a big case of writers block!!
SORRY!! :)
Dedication: My Crazy Camping Partner in Crime!!
Alice's POV
The machines went crazy.
A ferocious beeping emitted from the heart monitor as the flat line on the screen continued.
I threw the door open and ran in. Any worries I'd had about the werewolf stood a few yards in front of me quickly disappeared as I took in the sight before me .
Bella's body was lain out on the bed. Her eyes were sunken with severe bruises below them and the rest of her face was a deathly white. She was so still she almost looked like a vampire. Almost.
I was frozen with shock on the threshold of the room.
Nurses and doctors were rushing down the hall in our direction. I stepped out of the way a moment too late, but the young doctor who had touched my arm was too distracted to notice the chill of my skin.
The elder of the two doctors rushed to Bella's side and started CPR to try and restart Bella's heart. The nurses hurried around Bella's bed with oxygen masks and injections to try and assist the Senior doctor.
Only then did I remember the werewolf; He was still frozen in the seat beside Bella's bed, but seemed to come to his senses when a nurse ran into the chair and stumbled before regaining her balance.
He was shaking and glaring at us with what seemed like horror and disbelief. Both could be accounted for by our presence, but also could be because Bella's heart had stopped.
Suddenly he turned and ran at a slightly inhuman pace out of the door which Jasper and I had just vacated.
By now Bella's face had changed into a sickly shade of yellow. The doctors were working furiously in front of us, but it still felt maddeningly slow.
In response to my frustration or maybe the doctors desperation, Jasper sent off waves of calm and reassurance. I turned to thank him and was shocked to see his face contorted into a grimace and his body tense.
"You can go," I allowed when I realised that the scent of human must have been too much for him.
"But you need me," he counteracted quickly as if he had thought it through already.
"I do," I stated "But I don't need you to lose control and kill the people helping Bella." I lowered my voice to barely a whisper towards the end.
Finding I had a very valid point, Jasper quickly and silently left to stand at the furthest end of the corridor.
The chaos in front of me continued until a cry of joy came from the young doctor as the heart monitor changed from a flat line to a weak beat. Bella's heart had restarted.
Jacob's POV
Two things happened, almost simultaneously, the first horrifying the second downright irritating. Why did the stupid vamps turn up when it all went wrong??
The moment Bella's heart stopped the freak pixie leech and her controlling mate burst through the door. It was if they had known all along what would happen.
The presence of my immortal enemies forced the red hue of rage to shake my body and the wolf within me to want to come out and face them.
Only then did I realise the doctors and nurses in the room trying to help Bella, when a nurse crashed into my chair.
I have to get out of here. I thought to myself as I found an open door way. It would mean I would have to get closer to the leeches to get away from them though.
I held my breath as I ran past them to prevent myself smelling the disgusting sweet smell which would trigger my wolf-side.
Once out of the room I sped towards the stair well for a quick exit. Bad idea. I'd forgotten that the leeches had to have come to the room in the lift or on the stairs and as I took a deep breath I realised they had taken the stairs. The scent was overwhelming. It forced me to stop as the shaking became full blown tremors that coursed through my body. I pushed my need to kill down and suppressed the urge to go back. I continued down the stairs until I heard a soft but quick footstep coming towards the stairs. From the speed of the footsteps I could tell it was a vampire. Without thought I ran back up the stairs I had just come from and flung the door to the corridor open wide.
It only took a moment for me to phase and launch myself at the blonde male leech stood several feet away from me.
As usual i'm gonna leave it on a cliffhanger!!
I'm writing the next chapter now so it should be online by the end of this week. :)
