You know I'm kidding. The one after this is the really long chapter. This is just a filter.
.……………………………………………………………………………………………..Okay, maybe I was exaggerating just slightly, but maybe the fact that it was suddenly like 90 degrees in here, courtesy of Jocelyn, and that said girl passed out, was actually a big deal. And that Jared froze where he was. Literally. He just stood there, mouth slightly open, and I don't think he was even breathing.
Karston was, of course, red in the face, berthing like the big bad wolf. He looked ready to kill someone. Lillian was next to him, her big eyes overflowing with worry. I gave her a small, reassuring smile. At least I hope it was reassuring.
She turned her attention to Karston, and ran her small hands through his hair. He started to calm down slightly, and his face was starting to lose its red.
"Qui sumo scriptum nunquam perdo" she said in a soft voice. I raised my eyebrow questionly at her and she giggled.
"Those who obtain composure never lose. It's a quote from father. Latin, by the way."
I nodded, and rested my aching head on the pillow. Staring up at the ceiling, I sighed before turning to Karston.
"What are we going to do about Jocelyn?" I asked. His head snapped to the floor, as he was only realizing now that she fainted. He shrugged, but muttered a spell under his breath, doing a quick hand movement. Jocelyn was lifted off the ground, and into her bed. I had no idea what we were going to do with Jared. As to answer my unspoken question, Lillian gently placed her hand on his head and said:
"Suscitatio"
Something flickered in his eyes before he suddenly jerked his head upward.
"Huh?" he said, drool coming down the side of his mouth. I grimaced as it fell all the way to the floor. Noticing that, Jared quickly wiped all traces of drool away with the back of his sleeve. He looked around the room, smiling at me, nodding his thanks to Lillian, laughing at Karston, all before he came to land on Jocelyn.
"What happened to her? And why is it so hot in here? What is it, a hundred degrees or something?"
I rolled my eyes. "No, you moron. At least I don't think it is."
"No name calling, dear. By the way Bella, the spell will wear off in about five minuets, and you will feel rather queasy. That reminds me, I must contact father and find out about that peculiar purple light, and where it came from. Oh you do know about that, right? You don't? Well, the strangest thing happened. One moment poor Edward was about to pounce on you, and this bright purple light erupted from out of nowhere. The next you and Eddie were laying, knocked out, on the ground. Father would probably like to know that vampires can pass out".
Say what? Okay, I really need to find out about said 'purple light". Sounds like something out of a low-budget fantasy film. You know, the ones where all the cheesy spells rhyme, the actors talk and monotone, and the adorable little animal sidekick has a hand stuck in it's ass.
I was pulled out of my pondering my Jared's loud voice. He was screaming about food. Just the usual. But wasn't usual was the pain that was spreading through my stomach. It's been five minuets already? But wait, Lillian said 'queasy' not 'intense, toe-curling pain'. I wrapped my arms around my stomach and kneeled over. Well, kneeled over the best you can while you're in bed.
"Oh, dear" whispered Lillian.
"What the hell?" bet you can guess who said that.
"Karston, Jared, come with me. We must contact father at once. I saw their retreating backs before my eyesight got blurrier and blurrier. It wasn't until the hot, salty liquid ran down my cheeks that I realized I was crying. I shut my eyes, and tried to take my mind of the pain traveling down towards my body, and up my spine. I groaned in pain.
I don't know how long it was. Hours, days, heck it could have been seconds! All I know was that after a long amount of time, the queasiness hit me. Hard. I rolled out of bed and landed on my bum. Ignoring the pain, I crawled out the door and made my way down the hall. When my head finally hit a door, I knew I was at my destination. My hand groped upwards towards the doorknob, and gave it a twist. I fell in the bathroom, and made my way to the toilet.
I took a deep breath before I gagged and everything came out.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
I was sure that took a few hours. Or minuets. All I know for sure was that, after everything was out, I was exhausted. I slumped to the floor and took deep breaths. My chest felt tight, and doing something as easy as breathing was hard. What exactly was that refreshing spell again?
"Navi" I whispered.
I think I got it wrong. I didn't feel better, but I felt weird. Lighter, actually. I turned my head to cool my burning face on the floor, but gasped when there was nothing there.
Shiiitt. I mixed up "Novi" with "Navi". Now I didn't have any gravity. I hope someone comes soon. I groaned when a new wave of nausea came. I had to puke and I couldn't get to the toilet. Using my last bit of strength, I turned over so that my face was exactly above the toilet. If I could aim right…..
Knock, knock. "Bella! Bella, are you okay?" the voice of my now- favorite pixie floated through the door. Thank God. I groaned as loud as I could, and the door opened. Alice walked in and looked up. A flicker of shock crossed her face, but was quickly replaced with humor. She put her hands on her little hips and said: "Well, how did you get up there?" The little demon.
"Stomach. Crawl. Puke. Spell. Float." I forced out.
Alice clicked her tongue and shook her head.
"How do you expect me to get you down from there?" Damn her! My stomach was going on a revolt. I had to puke and I had to puke know. I was about to spew all over her little Gucci shoes before the door burst open and a masculine voice said:
"Tumulus"
I fell with a sickening thud. I ignored the terrible pain in my leg, and grabbed onto the toilet seat. I dragged myself the rest of the way up and let it all out. Alice's soft hands rubbed by back the whole time, while Karston watched through the door with what I assume was a disgusted expression on his face.

Well there is your really long chapter!
