Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight. I know it. You know it. Stephenie Meyer knows it. My lawyer knows it. Oh yeah that's right I have a lawyer. Namely my dad who was going to be a doctor but decided to be a lawyer but then decided he wanted to dell medical equipment. Isn't it weird how people can never quite figure out what they want to do? I think it's weird. I've known what I've wanted to do since I was I've. I'm gonna be Santa Clause. No I'm just kidding. Actually I want to be a lawyer. Or a writer. I can't decided. Oh. My. God. I am just like my dad.
Okay so here we find out yet again what is wrong with Bella. She just can't seem to stay out of trouble. But then again with a guy like Edward coming to save you trouble doesn't sound that bad.
Enjoy!
Chapter 7
Savin' Me
BPOV
Oh by the way when we come to Edward's POV I will be putting the words to the song Savin' Me by Nickleback because I love that song and I always wanted to incorporate a song into my fic.
My head was going to fall off. I knew it too. It took all the strength I had to get my hand to get to my cell phone.
For the first time in my life I wanted to kill humans. I wanted them to stop thinking so I could get some peace. Their thoughts were rushing through my head faster then a rivers water. I didn't know what to do to get them to stop.
I just wanted silence.
I hit the one. Edward was on speed dial. I was hyperventilating. Just trying to get air into my lungs. Which at the moment. Considering I couldn't concentrate on any given thing for more then a second was an extremely hard task. What the hell was going on? I didn't know. I didn't know at all.
And not knowing petrified me.
Because I was going to die if this didn't stop soon. I could feel it. My whole body was starting to relax. And I remember once that Charlie had told me I should only worry about dying if my injuries started to become painless. And even the pain in my head was dulling.
Then someone answered the phone, "Bella," Edward yelled, "Bella is that you?"
I let out a strangled cry as unshed tears fell down my face. I had no control anymore. Human thoughts ran through my head as I tried to find the strength to talk. I didn't know how. But I had to get him to me.
"Edward," I got out in a strangled whisper. I was trying so hard but it wasn't working. I was so powerless. I had promised myself I would never feel this way again. But now, now I was so weak it wasn't even funny.
"Bella," he was yelling? Why was he yelling didn't he understand that I could her him? I was still at least half vampire. My head began to listen to humanities voices. I was drifting off.
No Bella listen to what Edward is saying, "Bella tell me what's wrong. Tell me where you are baby. Just tell me something." He was pleading with me. I had to make him better. I loved him. Or at least I thought I did. I couldn't focus long enough to remember.
But I had to.
For Edward. For me. For my children. I focused on strength I didn't know I had and took a deep breath, "Edward," I whispered, knowing he could hear me, "there are so many . . . voices. I can't . . . focus. I'm. . . I-I'm only thirty minutes away. But I, I don't think you'll make it. I l-love you honey." I was going to close my eyes. I was going to give in. I was pretty sure I had the power to read minds. That at least one of the children had inherited Edward's power. I didn't have the strength to control it.
I was too tired.
But then I heard a female voice screaming in my ear, "Bella. Bella don't close your eyes. No matter what you have to stay awake."
It was Alice.
I focused yet again all my power on my moth and willed it to say what needed to be said, "Al- Alice where is Ed- Edward?" God I sounded so pitiful.
"Edward is driving to you Bella. I'm in the car with him. Were all coming to help you. Belinda and Danny too. It's okay sweety were coming. Were coming to save you." Alice voice was soothing. And I felt my eyes drooping into a sleep that I wouldn't return from.
EPOV
Driving to Bella
I was driving faster then ever had. Pushing two hundred even though I knew the car couldn't take it for much longer. She was dying. Bella was dying. I could hear it in her voice. She had said she loved me. They could be the last words she ever said to me. I was going to loose my wife and my two children all in one day. Already I was contemplating my suicide.
Yet again.
Prison gates won't open up for me
On these hands and knees I'm crawlin'
Oh, I reach for you
Well I'm terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can't hold my soul in
"Bella stay with me," I heard Alice scream in the background. Rosalie, Emmet, and Jasper were all squished in the backseat. Alice was sitting in the passenger seat next to me because she was holding the phone that connected me to Bella. Jasper was sitting behind her trying desperately to calm her down and not to scream out in pain considering we were all anxious to get to Bella. We were all panicked and add that to Jasper panic and he can feel all of our panic.
Well that's a lot of panic.
"Edward this car is not going to last much longer. The engine is going to overheat and the wheels are wearing down more and more by the second," Rosalie screamed. I could barely hear her over the roar of the engine.
"All I need is a couple of more miles." I yelled back. Bella's scent was like a map. I could almost feel it. She said she was about thirty miles out all I needed was a five more and I would be with her. I needed to go. I didn't care if I had to crawl. I would get there in time.
All I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And oh I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'
Carlisle said that the problem with Bella was that one or both of our children had developed a new power. And instead of giving in she was fighting it. And soon it would kill her. From what she had said about the voices I think they got my mind reading ability.
Alice was talking to Bella. Now she was basically screaming. I knew it was because Bella was falling asleep. Carlisle said if that happened we wouldn't be able to wake her back up.
"Bella please be alive. Just stay alive," I whispered. Though I knew my whole family heard me.
Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
And there it was.
I saw Bella's silver Porsche sitting in the parking lot of some Inn. I turned so fast and sharp that my whole family flew against the opposing wall. Emmet swore under his breath as did his wife. But no one said anything to me. They knew I would bite their head off in anyone said one word. Alice continued to yell at Bella.
I pulled the car in the parking lot. I was pretty sure I managed to take up three parking spaces with the Volvo. But at the moment I didn't care. They could tow the car for all I cared. I needed to get to Bella.
The guy at the front desk looked at me with wide eyes and then suddenly had a thought about Bella:
I bet that's the husband the hot looking babe in room twelve was talkin' 'bout.
I would have just asked him where Bella was but I didn't have time. I needed to get to Bella. Alice, Rosalie, Emmet, and Jasper were right behind me. I knew Carlisle, Esme, Belinda, and Danny would arrive soon.
The front desk guy was now looking at Rosalie and Alice with appreciative eyes. Rosalie moved closer to Emmet and gave a disgusted sneer. Emmet put his arm around her waist and kissed the top of her head cracking his knuckles at the desk boy. Alice who was still talking to Bella belatedly noticed the leering and grabbed Jasper's hand. Who took her's quickly and snarled at the boy.
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me
But that only took seconds. Before he could blink again we were walking through the lobby towards the rooms.
But that didn't seem to sit well with the desk boy. He got to the way to the hotel room doors just before I was about to cross it, "You need to buy a room before you can get access to the one of them." he snarled looking happy he was causing me delay.
"Step aside desk boy," Emmet snarled. Alice was staring at the boy with her hands on her hips as if she could rip his face off. Rosalie was about the same. Jasper looked like he could barely contain his need to drink all of this tiny humans blood.
But I wanted to avoid confrontation so I threw a couple of hundreds at the boy, "That should cover it. Now step aside." Just then Carlisle, Esme, Belinda, and Danny burst through the door. "There with me," I said before pushing past the boy and back through the rooms. Just before I opened the door I heard Bella's strangled scream. And before I knew Alice had kicked the door down.
I gave her a stunned look and she just shrugged and walked into the room. And there was my Bella sitting against a wall. Her hands in her dark chocolate hair and her face red. Tears streaming down her face. She looked like she had been to hell and back. Bu strangely she still looked stunningly beautiful.
Heaven's gates won't open up for me
With these broken wings I'm fallin'
And all I see is you
These city walls ain't got no love for me
I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story
She was breathing to hard. Like it was all she could do not to just let go. Alice dropped the cell phone she had been holding. And I rushed right to Bella.
I kneeled in front of her. She had her legs pulled up to her chest and was rocking back and forth. I pulled her into my arms. She was so hot. It was like she was burning up. Like she was on fire.
She let out another ear piercing scream and her hands tightened on her hair. As if she was trying to pull it out, "Voices," she muttered angrily, "stop. I don't want to hear. Just stop." She was pleading hot tears streaming down her face. Beads of sweat were forming on her forehead.
My whole family was standing their watching. I was whispering to Bella, trying to calm her down. But it wasn't working. So I decided to take another approach.
I sat her down in front of me. She thrashed around but I forced her to look at me, "Bella," I yelled, "Bella you have to understand. Just let go. Don't fight the voices. Just let them take you. It'll be okay I promise. Once they take you just make them stop. Will them to be silenced your powerful Bella it will work. I'll be with you the whole time." I whispered to her. She looked into my eyes. Sadness never failing and then she closed them. She was letting the voices take her. Human thought surround her.
I thought it was working. I prayed it was working. But then Bella threw her head and let out a heart breaking scream. Then she let out a small, "Edward."
And oh I scream for you
Come please I'm callin'And all I need from you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'
I pulled her in closer. Putting her as close to me as I possibly could. It wasn't working. Why wasn't it working? Bella was the most strong willed person I knew this should work. It had to work.
Hurry I'm fallin'
But then all at once I felt her relax in my arms. She lifted her head up to mine, "It worked," she said in a small voice then let out a huge yawn.
"Got to sleep baby we'll talk when you wake up," I said breathing into her hair. It smelled as good as it had when we were teenagers. I lifted her up bridal style we had to get out of here before the hotel staff started asking questions.
"Okay," she said in a sweat voice. Wrapping her small pale arms around my neck and laying her head on my shoulder. How I had missed her. She was never getting out of my sight ever again. Never ever.
We had just reached the lobby when Bella murmured right before sleep, "I love you Edward Cullen." then her breathing became regulated and I knew she was asleep.
All I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And oh, I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin', I'm fallin'
I kissed the top of her head and whispered softly, "I love you too Bella Marie." And then I stepped out into the parking lot. Belinda and Danny had jumped into the Jeep as we left their house to save Bella.
So after Carlisle ripped out the Volvo's licences plates we decided to leave the Volvo here it's not like it would run anymore. Besides Rose said she would build me a new one from scratch, one that went a whole hell of a lot faster. Alice, Jasper, and Bella and I would take her Porsche back home. Rosalie, Emmet, Danny, and Belinda would go in the Jeep. And Carlisle and Esme would take the Mercedes. Belinda and Danny had decided to take a visit to the island to stay with us until Bella was okay.
Bella would be thrilled that they were coming.
I let Jasper and Alice drive the Porsche. I still had Bella in my arms as we sat in the back seat. It was there I made a discovery.
Bella's stomach was already a little rounder
Hurry I'm fallin'
THIS WAS NOT THE ACTION! I repeat that was not the action. We have a lot more to cover. And I mean a lot. Plus you didn't think I would skip Bella delivering the children? That would be just plain mean.
Over and Out,
Carly :)
