Chapter 11: Wake Me Up

RosaliePov

Bella was still unconcious upstairs in Carlisles office. She had passed out a few hours ago after Carlisle dragged the dazed girl up to his office to assess any damage done. He said she only had a few cuts, but the strange part was the rate at which they were healing. No human could heal that fast. Edward pranced out of the house to go do his little drama queen thing. Aaron was sitting against the living room couch with his legs pulled up to his chin, one hand gripped his knee while the other was balled into a fist holding the dream catcher Bella had bought him. He stared at the TV as Emmett scrolled through Netflix, trying to find something to lift the poor kids spirits.

"So what do you want to watch? A comedy? A cartoon? Or something action packed?" The big bear man flashed a large grin at Aaron to help cheer him up. But Aaron turned to him and glared, causing Emmetts grin to slowly fade. Aaron clenched his jaw and stood up going to sit out on the front steps. Emmett looked so hurt that his little friend was upset with him.

"Don't worry Emmett. He's not upset with you, things will be fine." Alice placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder and Jasper gave a nod of agreement. None of wanted to see him sad, he was usually the happy one.

"Are you sure? Did you see us playing games?" Emmett managed a small smile and looked at Alice with hopeful eyes. Alice's smile faltered a little bit, before she allowed it to fall away. She shook her head apologetically.

"I...I can't see anything." We all frown and looked at Alice.

"What do you mean darlin'?" Jasper asked, going to his wifes side. Alice obviously looked distraut.

"At first it was just random blank spots, a shadow here or there. Now it's just nothing." Alice's shoulders sagged and Jasper put a hand on her shoulder, sending out waves of calm.

"How long has this been going on?" Esme asked, coming in from the kitchen, wiping her hands on a dish rag.

"A few weeks." Alice cast a glance in my direction to which I raised a brow. She continued, "When Bella and Aaron showed up. The longer they stayed, the bigger the spots became."

When she finished talking, I could feel a growl rise in my throat. Before I knew it I was standing in front of Alice, bearing my teeth. Jasper stood between us to protect his mate, I simply ignored him and looked over his shoulder. "What are you trying to say Alice? That Bella has something to do with this?" She scowled at me and stepped forward as well, pushing Jasper out of the way.

"That's exactly what I'm saying Rose." Another round of growls came from my mouth. "You know it's true Rosalie. You just don't want to accept it cause she's your mate."

That caused the growls to stop, but the scowl was still in place. "My mate? Alice don't be ridiculous."

"Oh please Rosalie everyone knows it. You know it too, if you would just stop being an idiot. The way you look at her when she's around. Those subtle little touches. That girl is the only person outside this family and our cousins that you talk to. And let's not forget that she is also human. You never talk to humans, or even deal with them for that matter." Alice finished with her hands on her hips, her challenging scowl still in place.

I could feel the muscles in my face slowly relax. Sighing I ran a hand through my hair and shook my head. The little imp was right. No matter how much I denied it, I definitely felt a connection to the girl upstairs.

"I'm...i'm sorry Alice." Alice's face softened and she smiled in my direction.

"It's fine Rose. I didn't mean any harm by my words. It's just fact. Bella is causing the spots in my visions. I'm happy for you though Rosalie. Even though you're a huge dummy." She giggled and lightly hit my shoulder. I gave her a smile before frowning.

"Do you think her healing and that thing that happened before has something to do with her causing the blind spots?" I asked. Alice spoke up as Carlisle descended the stairs and quietly stood behind Esme, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"I would assume so. Before today it was only occasional dark spots or fuzzy patches, but when she walked in all...bloody and confused. It was gone completely." Alice sat down on the arm of Jaspers easy chair, her thumbnail between her teeth.

"Well...i'm guessing it's safe to say that Bella isn't exaclty human. But what about Aaron?" Emmett asked as he jerked his head in the direction of the boy who was still sitting on the front steps.

"Whatevers Bella is or has might not be that commonly carried through genes. We would have to wait until I can do a bit more research to figure out what exactly Bella is." Carlisle spoke up. Just then Aaron entered the house again. "How are you feeling Aaron?" Carlisle asked him.

"I don't know. How am I supposed to feel? I'm not sad or scared. Just really angry. Is that normal?" Aaron asked. I could practically feel my heart breaking at the lost look in his eyes.

"That's perfectly fine sweetie. It has been rather confusing." Esme wrapped her arm around Aaron's shoulders and the boy leaned against her side. We all settled in to the living room as we waited for the girl upstairs to wake. Five hours later, she did just that.

"Excuse me I'm going to go check on Bella." Carlisle said the the room as he stood.

"Can I come with you?" Aaron asked as he stood as well, his hand gripping the end of Carlisle's sleeve. Carlisle flashed one of his smiles and agreed. Esme joined them as they ascended the stairs. I resisted the urge to join them as well and resigned myself to listening from my spot in the living room.

BellaPOV

I feel like I've been hit with a ton of bricks. No. Scratch that. A ton of eighteen wheelers. My lungs felt as if they had collapsed and when I opened my eyes, my skull felt the same. Groaning I shielded my eyes as I sat up, soldiering through the pain in my chest. I noticed that I was in Carlisles office the minute a wall of books came into focus. My head snapped to the door as it creaked open slowly. Carlisle stepped in, followed by Aaron and Esme. The second Aaron saw me, he rushed up to me and wrapped his arms around my neck. I was confused and in pain, but I pat his back and comforted him best I could. I looked up at Carlisle and Esme, hoping they could help me with my confusion. Aaron buried his face in my neck and sniffed back a few sobs.

"Okay. I'm confused. What's going on?" I finally voiced.

"What do you remember?' Carlisle asked me softly, Esme stood off to the side looking like a concerned mother.

"Um, I remember looking for a job then...buying Aaron a gift then..." I strained to remember anything after that. Something that would tell me how I got here. And why my brother is crying. A growl. Sharp shooting pain. Another growl. A whimper. Darkness. I groaned and brought my hand up to my throbbing head.

"Bella?" Carlisle pressed.

"Just weird things...um growling I guess. Not much else." I looked down at Aaron. He seemed to have calmed down slightly but he was still clutching my shirt.

Carlisle sighed and looked at Esme who nodded, he turned back to me. "Bella...there was something that happened. Something that may be life altering."

I sat up straighter and Aaron moved to stand beside the couch I was lying on. He held my hand and gave it a squeeze. I figured this was really serious.

"Life altering? Oh god...am I gonna die?" My mouth was hanging open as I could feel panic rising. I couldn't die now. What about Aaron? Who would look after him? Oh he'd be all alone in this world with that monster Charlie. I could feel my heart speed up.

"No no nothing like that!" Carlisle quickly reassured. "We think there may have been an...altercation on your way back from the reservation store, during which something may have shifed. Awakened. We don't know exactly what though, when you returned you were dazed and bloodied. Some of which wasn't yours."

My mind was reeling. Bloody? What the hell? Oh gosh I must have scared Aaron. "Aaron-"

Aaron raised his hand to stop me and smiled which completely surprised me, and from the looks on Carlisle and Esme's faces, they were surprised as well.

"It's okay Bella. While I was scared at first, I'm not anymore. I feel like...like it was supposed to happen. That it was important." As he said this his eyebrows furrowed as if deep in thought.

"What do you mean Aaron?" Esme asked. A question that I wanted to know as well. What the hell is going on?

"Oh my dear sweet Isabella." A sickly sweet voice crooned in the darkness. "Soon my pretty bird. Soon you'll know your true nature."
