Hey guys! Sorry I haven't updated in awhile! I've been so busy! Although I must admit, I've been getting a little lazy with my work. I've been so tired lately. Anyway, here's chapter 7. Enjoy!

When we arrived at the Denver Airport, Edward and I gathered our luggage from the luggage carousel, and waited patiently outside for a taxi to come by. I was tempted to ask Edward which part of Denver we were going, but I felt ashamed that I didn't know the location of my passed grandmother's home. Well, I guess I got nothing to lose.
"So, Edward. Where exactly are we going?" I asked tentatively. Edward turned to face me and smiled.
"We're going to a little town called Crescent Hill. It's a very quaint place with cottages galore. I'm sure Alice would like it."
I laughed at his last sentence.
"I'm sure she would! Sound like her kind of place. Hmm. I'll have to send her some pictures."
It took us a good 2 hours to arrive at Crescent Hill, even with an empty road. Edward was starting to get twitchy after about 10 minutes, and I could tell he wished we had gone by foot. I was beginning to wish, too. The taxi was a cramped little space with hardly any leg room. Not to mention it smelled like someone had urinated. Edward kept his cool hand over mine the whole time, and every time I began to feel nauseous or get too hot, he would demand that the driver pull over and let me take a breather. I had to admit, the drive was longer and more exhausting than the plane ride, and I'd had a fear of flying since I was little. But Edward being there made it so much easier to bear.
I practically jumped out of the taxi once we arrived at the cottage, gasping for air. Edward wrapped his cold arms around my waist, and made sure I didn't fall, although I felt like I was going to vomit.
"Are you alright, Bella?" he murmured into my ear, sending chills down my spine.
"I'm okay. Are you, though? It was probably hard for you not to attack the taxi driver."
Edward snorted.
"No problem. The smell of urine covered up the smell of his blood."
I giggled.
Suddenly the taxi driver, still waiting impatiently for his money, honked his horn, making me jump.
Edward rolled his eyes. "I better give this guy some money before he tries to eat me," he mumbled.
He unwrapped his arms from my waist and fished around in his coat pocket for his wallet.
That was when I noticed the cottage. It was very… quaint, as Edward had put it.
It was a small white house with varieties of flowers creating a beautiful mural in the garden. A porch with two rocking chairs wrapped around the front of the house with a small white staircase leading up to the door. The roof was painted a light baby blue, one of my favorite colors, and had a border embroidered around the edge.
I faintly heard the sound of the taxi driving away as I marveled at this sight.
'I can't believe I never came here…' I thought just as Edward walked up behind me.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" he said.
I nodded. It most certainly was. A pang of guilt struck me then. I wished I had came here when my grandmother was alive. She would've showed Edward and I everything there is to know about this house.
Just as I began to take a step toward the house, I felt an excruciatingly sharp pain in my abdominal area. I staggered forward a step, and felt the ground rush up to meet my face. Then strong, cold arms were around me.

I grabbed Bella's waist before she could hit the hard ground. When I turned her body to face me, she was clutching her stomach, and had a tortured look on her face.
I panicked. What was I going to do?
Before I could think any further, Bella started screaming. A blood-curdling scream that pierced through my ear drums. I lifted her up and shot down the street, not caring who saw.
I had to get Bella to a hospital.
Okay, that's chapter 7 for ya. The town Crescent Hill is just a name I came up with, so don't go looking on the internet for some town near Denver called Crescent Hill. Anyway, what do you think should be wrong with Bella? What disease should she have? Lemme know and I'll give you a free virtual cookie J
