10. Solution

I'm not sure how long I stood there, holding her even closer to me. But I knew that I never wanted to let go, and somehow, I knew that she didn't either. We were both happy in each others arms, relishing this moment of reunion. After all my worry about how I may not get to see my family again, I was so glad that this had worked out so perfectly.

After what seemed like a lifetime of holding my sister, I remembered that she was still a human, and so she must be starting to feel uncomfortable now. I pulled away from her-a bit too quickly-and gave her a moment to relax.

"So…wow. I can't believe you're a vampire Dani. I was really worried when your dad said that you had been admitted hospital then just disappeared-but I never expected anything like this. I mean…I just…" Bella told me as she struggled for the right words to say. So my dad had called them; I wonder who else knew…

"It's Okay Bella; I know it's a shock. Trust me, I was shocked too," I tried to help her out as I momentarily forgot about my worries from before.

"Wow…huh. I guess this could only have happened to us,"

"Yeh, we really do have serious problems," I joked as we both laughed at the irony of both of us getting involved into this crazy super-natural world.

"So erm…what do you plan to do? About your father I mean? He's going out of his mind with worry right now," she asked me, bringing up just what I wanted to talk about.

"Well that reminds me, I was thinking about how we could overcome this situation, and I think I've come up with a solution. I thought we could use my influence as a doctor to say that you were transferred over here, to Forks, where you could be better treated. But somehow things got mixed up, and so I wasn't aware that no-one had informed your father. But instead of being admitted to hospital here, I took you to my house where I believed you would make a better recovery. But because I didn't have any of our papers and you were unconscious, I wasn't able to inform any relatives. I did however inform Forks hospital, and there are papers to prove it," Carlisle told me as I listened, hoping that he had come up with a good plan that would work. I thought it sounded like a good idea in theory, but I didn't see how we were going to carry it out in practice.

"That sounds really good Carlisle, but I was just wondering how we would actually do it? I mean, there aren't any papers at the hospital to prove that you took me here," I asked, voicing my queries.

"Not at the moment, but that can easily be arranged. I'll speak to a friend of mine about it," Jasper replied in a formal, military sounding voice; I guessed that had something to do with his past.

"Yes, you get on that Jasper. Make sure that there are papers for her transfer to Forks hospital, then to here," he told him in a fatherly voice, as Jasper walked out the room already dialling a number on his phone.

I couldn't believe this was all coming together! I was so excited that I was going to get to see my mum and dad again-soon! Just then, Jasper walked back into the room with a satisfied, yet still professional look on his face.

"He said that he'd get to work on them right away. He'll have them ready for me to collect tomorrow," he told us, which would have made my heart leap with joy, if that were possible. But I couldn't help wondering who 'he' was. The way Jasper spoke about him made me think that he wasn't exactly a friend, even though Jasper called him one.

"That's great news; thanks so much you guys! But…umm…Jasper…who exactly is 'he'?" I asked.

"Oh he's just this human we know who handles anything like this for us. He does fake documents, which comes in handy when we have to travel a lot," he explained to me while I listened, confused about something.

"Wait, you said he's human. Does that mean that he knows…" I began before he cut me off.

"No, he doesn't know what we are. He does know that we're not human, but he doesn't know exactly what we are and he's too afraid to ask. It's a good working relationship for him to be scared of us, as it means that he doesn't ask questions. He's always been faithful, and just does what we ask of him quickly, and without any fuss," he finished explaining, so that I now understood.

"Oh right, I understand. So, anyway, that's fantastic! Can I call my dad now?" I asked, as I started to get exited at the prospect of speaking to my dad.

"Well…I think we should wait until tomorrow, when we have all the documents and everything in place. You know, just so that everything's ready," Carlisle told me as I listened, seeing the sense in his words.

"Oh right, yeh I think that would be better actually," I told him.

"Okay then, well now that that's sorted, I think I should take Bella home now. It's starting to get late so Charlie will probably be wondering where she is," Edward said as he wrapped his arm around her and slowly heading towards the door.

"Would it be okay if I took her," I blurted out quickly without really thinking about it. I knew that Edward would probably object, but I knew I was in control, and I needed more time with Bella.

"What?" Edward asked with a mixture of shock and disbelief in his voice. I wasn't angry with his outburst, as I was prepared for it.

"Well I was just wondering if it would be okay for me to take Bella back instead of you. I wouldn't be long, just taking her there then coming back. Please, you know I'm in control and I really need this time alone Bella," I pleaded as they listened, thinking about what I had asked. I watched as their faces were thoughtful for a few moments, before Alice's became one of joy and delight.

"Yes, of course that would be fine! I can see that nothing will go wrong, so I don't see why not," she practically sang whilst grinning, showing all her brilliantly white teeth. I never will understand how vampires, who live on nothing but blood, always have such dazzlingly white teeth.

"Alice…oh errmm…I guess it would be okay then. But you have fifteen minutes to take her home, and then get back here. If you're not back, I'm coming after you. Alright?" he asked once he decided that it would be okay. I guess Alice showed him something in her mind which convinced him, so I shot her a grateful glance, which she returned with a smile.

"Thank you and I promise I won't be a minute late. Come on then Bella, let's go!" I said as I took her hand and gently started pulling her towards the door. I led her outside, then turned around to her and swiftly pulled her up on my back. She let out a gasp of air, which made me chuckle under my breath.

"You have ran before right?" I asked, checking that she knew what was coming.

"Yeh, Edward showed me yesterday, although it made me feel sick," she told me in a slightly nervous and apprehensive tone of voice.

"Don't worry, just close your eyes and you'll be fine. I promise I won't let anything happen to you," I told her in a sincere voice, as I tried to reassure her.

"I know," she replied simply, and honestly. Then, I took off running.

I ran slightly slower then I usually did, as I wanted to prolong the time I had with her. I could feel the heat radiating off her again, as she clung to me tightly, and pressed her face against my shoulder. It felt good to be spending time with Bella alone, and even though I knew I only had a limited time, I never wanted this to end.

Even though I didn't actually know the way to Charlie's house, I followed her scent there which she made on her way to the Cullen's house. After about five minutes, we reached the small, yet cosy house on a nice, peaceful street. I could tell which room was hers, as that's where her scent was the strongest. So I had a quick look around to make sure no-one was looking, then I ran up the wall and through the already open window. I set her down gently on her bed, then backed away to wall furthest from where she was sitting. It's not that I didn't want to be near her, just that I wanted to give her a moment to recover from the run.

After a few moments, she slowly looked up and although she looked alright, I thought it would be best to ask.

"How are you feeling?" I asked cautiously.

"Good," she replied, "It was much better that time. I didn't feel sick at all," she told me as I sighed with relief. I knew that time was marching on and soon Edward would probably come looking for us, so I decided that now would probably be the best time to leave.

"Goodnight," I said quietly, as if she was already sleeping and I didn't want to disturb her.

"Goodnight," was all she replied as I smoothly slid back out the window and down the wall. I ran home as fast as I could, not because I was rushing, but just for the thrill of it.

As soon as I ran through the door, I could hear Edward sigh with relief, and it also seemed like the whole room suddenly relaxed. It could have been Jasper interfering with everyone's emotions, but I think it was more just everyone getting less tense.

"Hey, so is she safely back at home?" Edward asked almost as soon as I was through the door.

I could have just told Edward what he wanted to know, but I decided that it would put his mind at rest more if he were to see it for himself. So I closed my eyes, and concentrated as once again I tried to push my thoughts into Edward's mind. I showed him when I had left her, as she was sat on her bed and we both said goodnight to each other.

Once I could tell that he had seen what I had intended him to, I opened my eyes as I realised that I had experienced no pain. I know Eleazar had told me that it would become easier, but I didn't think the pain would ease up that easily.

"Thank you," Edward whispered even though he knew everyone could hear him. He seemed to be happy with what I had shown him, and I was glad that I had put his mind at rest.

"Right then everyone, we'll wait for the documents to arrive tomorrow, then I will go and place them at the hospital when I go to work. Then, when I get back, Dani can call her dad and explain everything. Then I'll be here so I can talk to him about the 'misunderstanding'," Carlisle told us before retreating upstairs to his study. Well I had the whole night ahead of me to do with what I wished, but I had no idea what to do with the time. I mean when I was human it was sometimes a rush trying to fit everything into one day, but now that I had infinite time, I didn't know what to do with it. I sat there for a while, just thinking about the many long nights ahead of me, before I swiftly got out and walked outside.

I stood there for a few minutes, feeling the wind blowing against my skin. For a human, this would have been a cold night, but for me it just felt normal.

"She cares about you a lot you know," said a voice, suddenly from behind me.
