Carlisle walked Adam back to the waiting room where he had entered and left back to his office. Edward had already told the rest of the family everything that had happened. When Carlisle got back to the room Alice was the first to bombard him with questions. "Is there really nothing you can do for her Carlisle?" "I'm sorry kids..." Carlisle said. "There has to be something though Carlisle!" Rose exclaimed. Carlisle only looked away. "In this situation we would normally transplant her heart but she's allergic to all of the medicine so there's no way to do that."
Edward looked away angry. "There has to be something." Jasper said. Carlisle shook his head again. "The only thing I could possibly do, is change her. And even then there's no way to do that here." That statement put everyone on edge. "I need you to tell me exactly what happened with her today. I need to make sure this won't happen again." Carlisle explained. "She wouldn't talk." Rose stated. "And her eyes. Her eyes kept going back and forth between two colors really fast."
Emmett picked up after Rose, "She was shaking real bad at the beginning of gym, during dodgeball. When the other team started she ran and hid behind me." Jasper continued, "She was pretty much plowed over in basketball, but she made two perfect free throws." "In vollyball though..." Alice trailed off. "We thought she had the ball and I guess she didn't actually see it, but it hit her really hard in the chest. When we caught her she started seizing on the right side of her body" Edward finished. "Ah," Jasper jumped in before Carlisle could even start. Mimicking Annabelle's action of putting her hand to her chest in a fist and the other one over it he stated, "She also did this after she shot the free throws."
That seemed to especially catch Carlisle's attention. "Was she pressing down at all?" He asked quickly. Jasper nodded. "Why is that significant?" Alice asked. "Two reasons." Carlisle stated. "First, that means that the pain and what ever it was that happened was already happening before she got hit in the chest with the vollyboll. Second, some people press down on areas of pain in a belief that doing so will make it hurt less." Five pairs of eyes widened.
"You mean to say she was in pain this whole time?" Jasper asked. "It would seem like it..." Carlisle replied. "You didn't feel it, did you?" Carlisle continued. Jasper shook his head in self-loathing. "The only thing I've felt from her are panic, fear, and dread. That's it." Carlisle sighed. "I'm going to go check on her again and finish my rounds. Go home and find something to feed on." The Cullen children nodded and did as they were told.
