Chapter 10

EPOV:

I searched through the trees trying to find the figure I had seen from the window. But to my dismay it was as if he disappeared.

I couldn't explain it, but something in my gut told me that the man I saw had something to do with Bella. She had told us her story, but hadn't said anything about anyone coming to get her. It wouldn't be one of them, I was sure. Because Percival Leif would have killed her and Justin didn't have a reason to come back.

I ran a hand through my already-tussled hair, trying to come up with a plausible explanation for her behavior.

'What did you do to her you bastard?' Jaspers thoughts were screaming at me. I was about ready to go into the house to protest when another thought hit me. 'When we last saw her she was with you and she was fine.' Jasper practically growled in my head.

I sighed. I knew they loved me, they just didn't have an alternative idea that could work. I was amazed at how everyone had grown to care for Bella so deeply in the past few weeks.

'YOU ARE SUCH A COWARD!' I winced as the thought reached my mind. Alice was yelling at me now too.

I sighed and headed towards the house. I was almost to the house when I heard a noise behind me. I spun around so fast I almost got vampire-whiplash.

But there was nothing there.

At least nothing that hadn't been there before. I sighed, Sherlock didn't solve a mystery in a single night.

So where would have Sherlock started?

He would have questioned the witnesses.

And in this case, there was only one witness.

BPOV:

I rocked slowly sitting on the floor. I heard a rush of events flowing past me, but my head was frozen in time.

It had been just like before. The scratches, the bruises. Even as a vampire I still felt pain.

I felt someone's hands on me. I looked up, but couldn't find the face in all the commotion.

I felt calmness seep through me. Jasper.

I moved away, away from the touching of the hands. The hands that I was familiar with, the hands of an almost-brother. Before Justin ruined everything.

I heard a mob of voices congregating at the door. But my ears didn't work, the only thing I could hear was noise.

"Bella?" Someone said, someone who was sitting near to me.

My mind searched itself, trying to get through the pain to find that memory.

"Bella did you fall?" The strange voice asked. I knew who it was. I knew I knew, but the crowds of pain wouldn't leave my head.

I couldn't open my mouth, there were too many marshmallows being stored for the winter. I shook my head, while saying to myself, no, I did not fall.

"Was there someone there?" The voice asked again. Edward, my mind finally revealed. Edward was talking to me.

I felt like shouting but all I could do was nod, while thinking YES there was!

"Ask her something else Edward!" Another voice shouted, my brain began to get even more muddled as the other people in the room began shouting.

"Did this person hurt you?" He asked, moving a stray hair out of my face. I jerked back. No touching.

I thought for a minute, he did hurt me. In so many ways. I nodded, I couldn't say the truth, otherwise Justin would kill me.

I felt my throat burning. Hunting. When had I last hunted? I began to mentally search my head.

Days? Weeks? Months? I couldn't remember, my head hurt.

Edward was talking again, but I couldn't hear him. Somehow the burning in my throat was muffling the voices.

I needed to hunt. I willed my hand to move. I willed my body to move. Nothing happened.

My thoughts trailed off into a void of no return, and I couldn't find them.

My thoughts were gone.

My head felt funny and the blackness began to cover my eyes.

The blackness began to cover the world.

I couldn't see.

I couldn't think.

There was nothing.

EPOV:

Bella sat there, not doing anything besides nodding.

I looked to Carlisle for advice. We all knew something was wrong, but I didn't know what. I had never seen a vampire act like this.

"She reminds me of someone." Carlisle said, rubbing his chin. Going over medical patients in his mind. I was pulled out of my thoughts as Emmett broke the silence.

"Narcissa Green!" Emmett shouted.

I gave him an odd look. "Narcissa Green?" I had no clue who he was talking about, and the rest of the family had the same interpretative looks on their faces.

"Yah remember that one girl in New York? No wait I think it was Denali…" He trailed off trying to remember where he saw her. His mind turned over and over every place we had ever been, trying to remember where he had seen a Narcissa Green.

"Oh! You mean the girl we met in the hospital in Quebec. Edward's patient?" Esme spoke up.

All of the sudden I remembered, and Bella was doing the same thing, here motions and actions mirroring that of a girl I once knew. I had been a doctor in Quebec, I had seen the whole ordeal with my own eyes. Bella was acting just like her. but before I could voice my realization Alice spoke up.

"You mean Narcissa Green the-the…" Alice stuttered her eyes focused on Bella's eyes, which were staring off into space.

"The rape victim." I whispered as the whole family gasped.

That's when Bella passed out.
