Heh heh, I did get a bunch of death threats on the last chapter, but I guess I deserved it. I will post up 2 chapters today so you people will see what happens when the storm has almost passed.


Bella was losing too much blood, and now she was going into shock. Her skin was turning a bluish color as her heart desperately tried to pump blood. For a moment her heart rate accelerated a little, then it stopped bleeding completely.

"Bella, no…no…Please Bella! You can't die!" I cried, desperately trying to revive her heart. All of those years in medical school never prepared me for this.

I tried CPR. I thumped her chest five times as hard as I can, but there was no pulse.

I was going into panic mode. Nothing was working, and each second was crucial.

It was too late to change her now. She lost too much blood and her heart has stopped. The venom won't be able to circulate through her body. She would die before the venom even enters her body.

There were no options now except for one. I had to go see Carlisle.

I quickly but carefully scooped Bella into my arms, then I ran out of the room as fast as I can without attracting any attention. I ran down the hall and went into Carlisle's office. I felt Bella's body slowly lose her warmth.

There was his office; the door at the end of the hall. I raced down the narrow passageway running as fast as I can. There was no point in worrying about blowing our cover when Bella was dying. There was no point in life if Bella was gone.

"Carlisle!" I burst through the door, startling Carlisle as he jumped in his chair.

"Edward…what-?" Then his eyes fell on Bella, and they widened. He nodded quickly then motioned for me to follow him. We quietly raced down the hallway as a blur. The hallway was deserted; there was no one there to see us run.

Edward, you take Bella into the emergency room and tell the doctors there to get ready. I'll find the others and we'll start immediately.

I nodded, then we arrived at the fork in which the hallway spilt into three different directions. I went left and Carlisle went right.

I looked down at my Bella, and terror gripped me. Bella's skin was now turning clammy and sickly looking and I could see the blue veins that once had blood in them. I accelerated to my maximum speed and pushed the doors into the ER.

"Please save my Bella!" I cried to the nearest doctor. He took one look at Bella and immediately started to set up. Just then Carlisle arrived with a team of experts. He silently took Bella from my arms and set her down at the table. I watched apprehensively as every doctor and nurse set up for their task.

I walked over to the table and held Bella's icy hand. Please don't die Bella. Please… I beg you God, please save my Bella. I will do anything if you save her…Please don't die.

Each tick of the clock was a little chip off of Bella's survival. My mind was in a state of absolute panic. Bella cannot die, Bella cannot die.

Then the team gathered around Bella, they were at last ready to begin. I felt someone's hands on my shoulders. I pushed them away and held onto Bella's lifeless hands.

"Please, sir. You cannot stay here." It was a nurse trying desperately to get me out of the room.

I growled at her. I was not going to leave my Bella when she was about to die. I was not going to lose her. I won't!

Edward, you need to leave now, otherwise we won't be able to start and it may be too late.

Carlisle's anxious eyes were on me, begging me to cooperate. I gave Bella one more good look and quickly kissed her on her cold mouth, then I parted through the doors.

My whole body was shaking with grief. I felt like I could cry a whole river, because that just might have been the last kiss I had ever shared with Bella.

My heart was ripped in two, and now my body felt like it was shredded into pieces. My Bella was laying there, all crumpled and broken. And now she may be gone, forever.

If only I didn't delay it. If only I had acted earlier. Screw keeping our true identities a secret. My Bella could be dead, and it was all because of me.

Because I wasn't fast enough. I let my thirst control me for too long. Bella…Bella…Bella! I'm sorry!

My body was getting stabbed by arrows. My hands were clenched in fists, and the trembling got worse.

I sobbed and sobbed. I wanted tears to come, I wanted to grieve over my Bella, but this accursed life won't even let me do that! This accursed life has destroyed Bella from the start, and now it was doing its last job. I realized that now. I had committed to many murders and horrible things, so in return for my punishment I was to lose the thing that I loved the most. My horrible cursed life has destroyed the love of my existence, and it was completely and utterly my fault.

And now I would have to wait as Carlisle and his team tried to stop the inevitable from happening. Death was approaching swiftly and quickly. It was going to do its job fast and with skill, putting Bella out of her misery. Bella would no longer have to suffer because of me.

Maybe it is for the best, maybe death is the only way that Bella will finally be able to move on and be happy. I smiled at the thought. Bella would be happy, at last.

And I waited, as Bella's last moments of life slipped away.
