BPOV

I sat there. Time passed, but at what rate, I was unsure. Maybe this state I was in was called shock. I didn't know. All that I knew was that I was terrified.

That was until Edward wrapped his arms around me. At that point, I seemed to come out of my state, clung to him, and began to cry.

EPOV

She had frozen. I tried calling her name and I called for the doctor, Alice and my mother. They didn't know what to do. I didn't know what to do, I moved away from her afraid I might hurt her in her frozen state and was relieved when the doctor came in. He took a quick look at Bella and explained, "I do believe that she has gone into hysterics. The best thing for you to do now, Edward, is to hold her. Let me know when her situation changes and she has calmed down, and then I will see if she is hurt at all." With that he took his leave.

Alice and Mother were still in the room, but I decided to now act alone. I came over to where Bella was sitting, with her arms wrapped around her knees. I sat next to her and embraced her. To our great surprise, Bella seemed to wake up and she quickly turned her body so that she could face me. I saw the terror in her eyes as she quickly glanced at my expression before burying her face in my shirt and weeping.

I was overcome with such strong emotion that I almost became speechless, but I knew that a frozen reaction was not what Bella now needed. So I began to coo in her ears and reminder that she was safe and that I wasn't ever going to leave her.

Mother took over and ordered Alice to get fetch the doctor again while she busied herself trying to organise something for Bella to eat that wouldn't be too difficult on her stomach with a servant. Finally deciding on bread and butter, Esme talked in hushed tones with the servant and she sent him away.

She came over to the bed and spoke in hushed tones, "Edward, I thought you would like to know that Emmett, Jasper and Carlisle have been informed of what occurred this morning. They are fully planning to confer with the German king about whether we can punish Newton. I say they are but it is mainly Carlisle who is doing this. Emmett and Jasper are still fuming!" I was actually slightly amused at this prospect, but then Bella's cries reminded me of her pain and stopped this.

Just then, the door opened after a quick knock and the doctor appeared. Bella had been reduced to whimpering now, but was slightly more responsive. "I see that holding Bella helped with the recovery process," he said quietly. Then in a louder voice, he said. "Lady Bella, dear, I'm Doctor Eric York and I am here to see that you are not injured. Is it all right if I come closer and see you?"

Bella seemed to have stopped shaking and was now staring at Doctor York. After about half a minute, she slowly nodded.

I was quick to respond, "If it is too soon Bella, then just say so. Doctor York has all the time in the world."

To our shock, Bella responded in a raspy voice, "No, Prince Edward. It will be perfectly fine for the doctor to insure I have not been harmed." With that she pulled herself out of my arms and sat daintily on the edge of the bed.

I was slightly shocked and looked at Mother, whose face also showed confusion. Before we had a chance to respond, Doctor York fully approached Bella.

"Do you feel any pain anywhere, my lady?"

"Only on my wrists and my back feels stiff. But apart from this, I believe that I am fine," Bella said in a dead voice.

"Would it be possible for me to examine your wrists?"

"Of course." She placed them in front of him.

Mother and I were still shocked at the change in Bella's character; one minute she had been crying and then the next she appeared withdrawn.

The doctor finished his analysis and gave his verdict. "Well, my dear, you seem to not be hurt too badly. If you would like, you can go to your room."

Mother quickly added, "Why don't you change out of those clothes, dear, and then I will send you up some food."

Bella simply nodded, curtsied at the door, and left. Mother and I quickly turned to the doctor to hear the rest of his evaluation.

"I expect you are wondering about her interesting behaviour, your highness and majesty. I can only suggest that Bella's mind has decided to repress all that occurred, as it was too painful. This can cause her to become withdrawn and sad, so I would advise that you keep a close eye on her. This, I'm afraid, is all the advice I can give. The human mind is very fragile and, just like a wound, needs time to heal. Hopefully, she will at least be showing improvements by the wedding next week."

"Thank you so much, doctor," Mother responded, and he departed.

"Mother, I don't know how to help her! It appeared earlier that she was pushing me away from her. How can I help her if I don't understand how she feels? I am so worried for her, Mother. What if she is no better before the wedding? What if she decides she cannot cope and must go home?" I questioned fretfully.

"My dear child, you need not fret. I'm sure Bella will come around in her own time. I'm afraid that even if she wanted to return, there is very little chance of that, for this alliance is of great importance to Spain and they would be unlikely to accept her back. We are her only family now. I suggest that you are patient with her, and perhaps Rosalie should talk with her, for she will understand. But for now go and see her, my dear son, and just keep her company. I expect that being alone is very frightening at the moment."

"Thank you for your advice, Mother, which I will most eagerly take. You must make sure that father fully informs me at some point tomorrow about the situation regarding Newton's punishment. Goodnight mother." I gave her a kiss on the cheek and left to go find Bella.

Hope you enjoyed please review :)
