Previously on...As the Storm Rolls In...

I was really cold. My whole body was vibrating. I didn't' feel good. Maybe I just needed rest...maybe not.

"Just rest here. I'll go get you more bread. That might be it," I heard him whisper 'hopefully' under his breath. I needed to lay down.

I soon saw Joey running at me. Not with the bread. The bread was dropped out of his hands. He was darting at me. And that's the last thing I saw before I blanked out.

Chapter 10

BPOV

Everything was spinning when my eyes opened. I think I was...dying. I was still really cold all over. My core had an ice fire in me like you just ran 3 miles outside in a blizzard. Not a good feeling. I never stopped shivering, or shaking. I thanked God that Edward didn't have to see me like this. He'd probably die too.

It was raining when the sun should've been right overhead. None of the survivors had spoken to me, in fear that I might break down again. The icy drops that ran down my face blended in with the stray tears that broke away from my gray eyes.

I was dying. I felt it. I could feel it through my aching body that lay still in the rain. I hated the feeling of dying. It was like being a crumpled piece of paper that got drowned in ice, then smashed under a foot. I wished someone would just take a gun and shoot me. I couldn't believe that my final moments were in a dump without anybody I really knew. I mean sure, I knew the survivors, but not like how I knew Edward, or Alice. I wanted to shake my head in disgust, but it would hurt too much. So I didn't. I went through a list in my head the best things that ever happened to me. 1) Meeting Edward. 2) Meeting the Cullens. 3) Marring Edward 4) Edward's meadow...the list went on. But I noticed that almost everything had to do with Edward. Pathetic. I was revolving around one person. I hoped that if I was this obsessed with him, he would be with me. Too bad it will break his heart to know that I died. More sorrow poured into my heart. My eyes were drifting closed. Closed for good. I tried to fight it, but it was no good. Tori saw what was happening and came and sat by me. Everyone else followed for my final moments.

Tori told me that I'll be ok wherever I go and I'll find Edward. Everyone agreed, attempting to comfort me. The wind was knocked out of me because no matter where I go, I could and would never find Edward. A tear droplet rolled down my cheek as I stared into the people who took me in my time of…death.

Joey POV

Bella was dying. I couldn't bare it. She was beautiful. She shouldn't die! Why do the good always die young? I'm still not sure how I felt about her. Mixed emotions. "Bella..." I whispered. Her eyes rolled down to me zombie like. I reached over to have her lean on my shoulder. Her eyes melted into mine. She couldn't even move. Her body was too weak. I bent my head down next to hers.

My lips locked with her. If she was going to die, I wanted to be the last person she kissed. I didn't kiss her for long, hearing the gasps of the other people watching. I set her down on the ground, afraid I'd hurt her. She groaned. I just watched her. I didn't look up at anyone else.

EPOV

"Where are you going?" asked Drew.

"I smell something. It's really familiar. It smells real good, like Bella."

I missed Bella. Oh, to have my Bella in my arms again would be like falling in love all over again. It's been almost 2 weeks. I know she can't be doing good. I never stopped cursing myself since this happened.

He shook his head at me. "Dude, we need to feed, we can't go. We need something."

"And if it is Bella, I must go. She can't be alone for this long. Trust me. I need to find her," I started walking away.

He grabbed me by my shoulder. "No, you'll cave, without my powers. You can't go."

"I have to."

"We BOTH need to feed. Our eyes are already red. You'll make a mistake if you do..."

I turned around to face him in the eyes. "Listen. I am going. You may go to feed, but we'd probably never run into each other again-"

"I can't go. You know why?" I raised my eyebrow. "I can see that you love Bella dearly. You've told me that she smells unimaginably good. I'm hungry. I'm afraid that if I go with you I might loose control. I can't have that, after all you've talked about her. I'm sorry. Obviously, she is too special to even put in check. I cannot go on."

"Gee Drew, thank you. You have no idea how much this means to me. I guess our journey together ends here." I stuck my hand out for a shaking. He grabbed and I shook.

I looked him in the eye. I brought him closer to hug him. I didn't care what people thought, he was a new friend. He was the one who had to listen to how much I missed Bella. He was a good guy.

"You know man, good luck finding your girl," he said.

"Thanks Drew, you too...and if you ever want to visit us, you know where to find us, up in Forks Washington. Please come any time."

"You know it." I backed up and nodded at him.

"Good-bye."

"Good-bye."

Max POV

Did Joey just kiss Bella?

Natasha POV

Why did Joey kiss Bella at a time like this? I'm sure she didn't like it, wouldn't the last person she kissed before she died want to be Edward, and not Joey. I mean, Edward was the last person she probably kissed, right? She seemed pretty devoted.

Bella looked so helpless...just laying there. It was like watching a horror movie. Nothing scary was happening, but just the picture. It was really hard to explain.

Bella's eyes were drifting. A tear dropped down my pale face. I never watched anyone die before. Knowing that there was nothing I could do, to help. It was a horrible feeling.

Before I knew it, I was sobbing, with tears running down my face in sorrow. Max scooted next to me and put his arm around my shoulder. I needed comfort right now. I buried my head in his chest, really starting to cry now and hearing Tori do the same behind me. She was probably leaning into Scott. Poor Johnny and Joey. They didn't have anyone, well, mainly Johnny. Everyone else had a partner right now but him. What am I saying? Poor Johnny hm? Is he the one slowly dying a horrible death? Didn't think so.

Bella was starting to twitch now. She started shaking also. That just made me cry harder.

"...Edward..."

"She's calling Edwards name! She wants him so badly!" I cried out. I was hysterical now. All I did was cry as I watched Bella in agony as Max had his arms wrapped behind me the whole time.

Scott POV

Watching Bella die was horrible, especially watching her move like that on Joeys lap. And what was with him kissing her like that!? He knows she wouldn't want it. Tisk tisk tisk...acting when they can't react. If he wanted to do that so bad why couldn't he do that when she could say something back, oh right. BECAUSE SHE'S MARRIED AND SHE WOULD KILL HIM! What kind of person was he? That's sick. That's just sick. I would've given him a glare, but he wouldn't look up from Bella.

Otherwise, Tori was a crying monster on me. She wouldn't stop. Neither would Natasha on Max. We all had our alliances, but Johnny. He looked so lonely.

As if on cue, a girl looking our age came up to him. She had a nice tone of skin, blonde highlights in her maple brown hair, and had a mouth full of braces.

"Hey, can you come with me real quick? I know this may not be the best time but..." He got up and lead her back from our circle so they could talk in private.

Johnny POV

I was terribly upset with Bella. I know it wasn't her fault she was dying, but she was leaving me here. She was the only one that understood me. She knew how I felt. She was the only person that I really trusted. I didn't like her like that, not like Joey, but she could've been an amazing person. Now, I was the only outcast without and alliance. Though sadly Joey's wouldn't last long, I was all alone right now. No one to have with me. No girl crying by my side like the rest of them. I felt...awkward.

A girl, maybe my age, came up from behind me and tapped me on my shoulder. She was so pretty. She had amazing skin tone that really made the highlights in her brown hair look gorgeous. She came and smiled at me, revealing her teeth that were braced with blue and lime green string.

"Can you come with me real quick? I know this may not be the best time but..." she looked over at Bella. Worry covered her face. Her voice was an angel. I swear. My only reaction was to get up and follow her. I couldn't even say anything. Walking a little bit helped me recover.

"So, what's with all the commotion?" she asked gently, looking past my shoulder to look at Bella again.

"Well," Oh boy, I thought that my shyness would kick in now. But it didn't. Was I dreaming that I could actually have a normal conversation with someone without having my face go red? "After the storm hit, these people behind me ganged up themselves and called themselves the survivors, because they survived. I was the last to join. Then Bella joined. She told us that she lost her husband-"

"She's married?! Oh, but she's so young!"

"Yeah, she is, but then one day she wasn't doing too good. She said there was pain, and the next day it got worse. She missed her husband so bad that it was affecting her physical stability. She told us that she'd been in pain like this before, and it wouldn't go away until she found him. We still haven't yet. And she hasn't gotten better. She's dying right now."

"Oh! That's so sad though!"

"I know...Is there anything else you'd like to know?"

"Well, I actually pulled you out of there for your own sake. You didn't look too comfortable. I thought you could use someone to talk to."

"Hm, yeah. Haha." I looked her in the eye and could tell that we had a bond. "Do you want to come join us?"

"I suppose." We walked back and sat down. "What's your name?"

"I'm Johnny."

"I'm Elizabethzoebethgabielle. You can call me Arms for short though."

"ARMS?"

"Yeah. My arms are the big thing of where I used to live...long story."

"Yeah, I don't think this is the right time to talk about that now though."

"You're absolutely right."

BPOV

I wanted to just die already! I knew I was dying but c'mon! How long does it take one person to die? I was so humiliated! Everyone was just watching me. They should've taken a picture; it would last longer. Worse than that, Johnny brought another person over. I bet there would be a crowd soon. Oh please just let me die now.

For some reason, somewhere in my heart was telling me to stay alive. I'm not sure why it told me this, probably just to make Edward happy. All I needed to do right now was really concentrate on staying alive.

EPOV

I sensed something was wrong. I could feel it. I knew this scent was Bella. With every foot step, it reminded me more and more of her. I knew this was her without a doubt. I also knew she was in trouble without a doubt. I hope I wasn't too late when I arrived.

Tori POV

I almost fainted when Bella stopped doing whatever she was doing and spoke one word. Edward. It was loud and clear. The loudest we've heard from her in forever. Her eyes were wide open, like she knew she had to stay alive more. She inhaled loudly. Then stopped. She slowly exhaled. This was her last breath. I knew it. This was it.

Max POV

This is it. Bella will be dead in a few seconds. This was too sad to bare. This is it.

EPOV

Something in my mind made me go to vampire speed. No one would see me anyway. I had the worst feeling I ever had in the pit of my stomach that I had ever had. Bella was in danger. In life threatening danger. Her scent was getting more and more powerful. Oh, how it was so close, yet so far. And oh yet, how I needed to feed. I needed to eat something badly. I'm sure my eyes would be red by the time I got there. One more turn, and I'm sure I'll find her.

One turn later I saw a group of people sitting in a circle around someone. I ran quicker.

Scott POV

Bella has completely shut her eyes. Is she dead? I think so.

Tori POV

Oh my! I think Bella's dead!

Natasha POV

I cried harder when Bella stopped moving and her lids fell shut.

Max POV

That's pretty sad Bella had to go like this...

Johnny POV

No one will ever understand me like Bella did...

Joey POV

I could've swear I felt my eyes well up with tears when I felt her body get heavier and colder.

Arms POV

Even though I didn't know Bella for that long, that was really sad.

EPOV

I saw what was in the circle. My Bella.

A/N: Aw, how sad. I know. By the way…does anybody know any songs that involve someone slowly dying, but they're trying to work through it? If 2 people were dying that'd be even better in the song. Thanks guys. Mwa!
