Chapter 10
So, more suspense build up! I hope you like this chap because it's 7 at night as I write this. So, R&R!
Bella POV
"Carlisle, please, I know you've told me a thousand times that Jake is gone, but you have to fix him!" Carlisle shook his head.
It was very late now, and Jacob's dead body was practically falling off of the hospital bed. He was so big! I was zapped with more sadness when I realized he would never grow again. I wiped the invisible tears and glared at Carlisle again.
"Listen. You fix him and we live happily again." He looked back at me with no emotion. I sighed and tried again: "Carlisle. Fix Jake. Please. You have to!" I feel weak for the first time in so long, since I coughed up that river of blood and blacked out. When I woke up a vampire, I knew I was stronger than Edward and Emmett and anyone. Now I feel human again.
I try to plead with Carlisle some more, but he just told me that nothing could fix Jacob and he walked off to clean up his hospital stuff. I whimper and fall down on the hardwood floors, as if my feet disappeared. I lean against the wall and stare off into space. That's the only thing you can do when you don't have any tears to cry.
I hear a deep rumble and notice a beefy hand hanging over the back of the couch. I remembered about Charlie and realized he fell asleep here again. I walked around to see the front of the sofa and laugh to myself at the sight of my father's plump body filling up the span of the piece of furniture. I kiss his forehead and run out to the small cottage.
Edward had brought Renesmee out here around 8 tonight, and it's been about three hours since then. I didn't really realize how long I had been facing off Carlisle, but hopefully it was worth it. I wish I didn't bite Jacob, I wish I was never mad at him, and I wish that none of this ever occurred. At least Nessie was safe.
I barge through the front door to find Edward – ironically – reading the newspaper with one of his classical music c.d.'s playing on his stereo. I add some logs to the fireplace and sit down next to him. Edward folds up the paper and strokes my hair. He's humming my lullaby and I silently bob my head to the tempo. He begins to chuckle and I peer up into his golden eyes. Pretty soon, I'm giggling, too.
"Bella, Carlisle was thinking about what you were saying to him." Edward says. I nod and he drives on.
"He was thinking that he could possibly draw some blood from Charlie, enter it into Jacob's blood stream, and then shock him with an AED or something. But, this would mean that Jacob wouldn't be much of a werewolf anymore and Charlie would have a very unstable amount of blood."
I think hard about this. Jacob would live, and Charlie would be a little weaker. Atleast they would both stay alive in the end, so that's great. Right? I know enough from old school papers (blurry to remember, but still in my mind) that if Carlisle took enough blood, then my dad could get diabetes. I know what I have to do and I hope it's the right decision.
"Edward," I say. "is it possible to draw my blood and filter it to make it healthy for Jacob's body?" I see that Edward is thinking about this, and he finally stands up with his answer.
"Yes Bella." He whispers. "That is quite possible."
Charlie POV
I don't know much about what's going on. All I know is that Jacob is claimed to be dead and Bella is hoping that Carlisle can draw blood from her to enter into Jacob so he has more blood than venom. If I knew what kind of venom it was, maybe I could help Bella and her…..family (groan) to find a more plausible answer. But I haven't heard anything else about what happened, so I can't help much.
Alice has fixed me some bacon and eggs for breakfast. Its 7:38 in the morning now, and everyone has been discussing Jacob's outcome since I woke up. I chomp on a mouth full of eggs and consider going back to my place. I decide to stay, in case Bella needs support. I turn back to the bunched up crowd of Bella, Edward, Carlsile, and Jasper.
"Bella, I know that you want to help Jacob, but is this really the way you want to solve the situation?" Carlisle asks.
Bella fires back, saying, "I will do anything for him. I was wrong to put that poison in his body."
Edward puts a hand on Bella's shoulder and says, "Listen to Carlisle. I know you didn't exactly think when you bit Jacob, but now you must pay the price."
I jump to my feet. "What?" I shriek girly-like. "Bella? Putting poison in Jacob? Biting him? Please just explain what's happening!"
Bella struts up to me and looks me square in the face. Her eyes look bloodshot again and I take a step back.
"Dad," she begins. "I am a vampire."
Sorry it was short, but it was important! Please R&R!
