"Come on Bells, your next." I heard Edward speak. His voice sounded anxious. I looked around for some kind of boost for myself. But there wasn't anything, I tried to jump and pull myself up to the window but I couldn't get grip, not without having glass sticking through my hands.
"Bells..." I looked back at the window and Jasper was back up.
"I can't find anything for a boost!"
Don't panic Bella, don't panic. Jasper disappeared for a second and reappeared with Rose standing next to him, probably now on Edwards shoulders.
"Bells give us your hands," I nodded. Rose had hold of one of my hands and Jasper the other. I felt my feet pull from the ground and towards the broken window. As soon as I was half way out we all froze. The sound that we heard bought a rage of panic through all of us. A car door.
"Shit!" Jasper spoke.
"Come on, quickly!" Rose pulled at my hands quicker as did Jasper. I felt the glass beneath the pillow. I winced but didn't make a sound. I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist and lower me to the ground. I didn't have a chance to open my eyes when I felt a pair of lips meet mine. I knew it was Edward so I kissed him back.
"Let's go, go RUN." Emmett all shouted to us. We broke away and we all bolted together back into the forest.
We seemed to run for hours, not stopping, not turning back and no one speaking a word. We were back together and that's all that mattered right now, that and getting the hell out of here, but that would be up for discussion as soon as were miles away from that cabin.
I felt my body growing weaker by the step, I tried to close my eyes and will my legs to keep moving. Edward had a death grip on my hand, so at least I knew he wouldn't lead me into a tree. But there was only so much more by body could handle, and right now it was slowly giving up one me. I had my spare arm gripping tightly around my waist trying to hold myself together as we literally ran for our lives.
People tend to say that when your life is on the line, that adrenaline kicks in and you can achieve super human tasks, well right now I think I've used up all my super human possibilities and now I'm on the downhill of a high.
I had one hand gripped on tightly to Edward's and the other wrapped around my stomach. I could feel the warmth of liquid soaking through my singlet top. Or what was left of it anyway. The glass shards from the window had managed to destroy my top along with the pieces of flesh that was behind it.
I fought to keep going, to keep my eyes open, to keep my feet moving. The words my father told me time and time again repeated in my mind.
"Embrace your fears, never give in. Always keep fighting, even until your final breathe is taken away, and then jump back up and fight some more."
So I did just that, I took deep long breaths and pushed myself further and further, reaching down into the tiny amounts of super human possibilities that I may or may not have possessed, but regardless of the quantity, I made it through.
I clutched to my sides trying to hold myself together. Finally it was Emmett who had stopped us, we were now deep enough back in the forest, miles away from that cabin. I felt my feet stop and my knees give out from under me. I heard the distance echoes of voices shouting my name.
I released my hand from my stomach and looked down at it, red...
My eyes returned to the familiar green orbs staring back at me with horror.
"Great..." was all I could muster up before falling into the darkness.

I couldn't take much longer of this, Bella had climbed through the window to save Alice, while I had to stand here and do nothing. I stood next to the window waiting for signs of them coming back through, any signs of life. I could hear a few stray cries from both of them, happy cry's. At least I knew that they were both safe, and at least Alice wasn't hurt.
"Guys hurry up!" I heard Jasper anxiously groan next to me, I didn't dare take my eyes away from the window. Everyone was on high alert, Emmett was standing just around the corning making sure that no one came, while Rose was at the other end checking out the forest border.
Not taking my eyes away from the window I saw something being placed on the broken glass, a pillow. I couldn't help but smile they were coming out, they were safe.
"Emmett give me a boost." Jasper called Emmett over and quickly had Jasper on his shoulders, Rose looked back at us and I called her over. She ran full bolt towards us, smiling like crazy. I saw Alice's manicured hands on the pillow, than she was lifted higher, no doubt by Bella. Jasper had her quickly and lifted her safely out of the window. They were instantly kissing, but broke away quickly as Jasper handed a teary Alice over to Rose.
Jasper jumped back onto Emmett's shoulders and peered into the window.
"Come on Bells your next," I spoke through the window, I couldn't wait any longer. I had to have her in my arms. I saw a tug on the pillow and then nothing. It happened again, the pillow ripped slightly into the glass.
"I can't find anything for a boost!" I heard her panicked voice through the window, we all heard it.
"Rose," I all but turned to her and had my hands braced for her foot. She nodded and quickly jumped up onto my shoulders. Jasper helped steady Rose against the ledge.
"Bells, give us your hands." Rose spoke putting her arms through the window. Jasper followed and soon I felt them pull. I felt my whole body relax when I saw her half way through the window.
SLAM
We all froze, we all knew that sound. A car door.
"Shit!" Jasper barked out. I watched as they pulled at Bella quickly, as soon as she was through the window and had her in my arms, I wasted no time to kiss her.
"Let's go, go RUN." Emmett all shouted to us. We broke away and we all bolted together back into the forest. I held onto Bella's hand pulling her closer to me as we ran for it. Jasper has Alice on his back and running with her, Emmett and Rose ran hand in hand in front of us all, leading the way.
I felt as Bella started to slow down, I held her closer to me hoping to take some of the weight from her. The sky began to darken as we continued to run, no one said a word as we ran. Finally it was Emmett and Rose who stopped, we all bent over our knees panting, trying to get our breaths back.
I looked back at Bella and noticed her clutching her stomach.
"Bella are you okay?" I stepped closer to her and noticed her eyes down on her hands. I followed her gaze and noticed her hand covered in blood. I looked down at her stomach and noticed the soaked material clinging to her stomach. Her eyes rose to meet mine.
"Great..." she choked out her last words in a laugh. Before her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she collapsed into my arms.
"Bella!" everyone shouted. I slowly lowered her to the ground, and moved her hand from her stomach. I lifted up the torn top she was wearing and gasped. It revealed a small broken piece of glass sticking out from her stomach.
Oh god…
"Quick, I need water and something to stop the bleeding!" I shouted out. Everyone was in too much shock to move.
"Now!" finally my voice knocked some sense into them, Emmett and Rose started going through the only bag we had left. Emmett handed me the bottle of water and I quickly poured half of it over the wound to wash out the dirt that had managed to get in there.
"Emmett, Jaz hold her down I need to get the glass out." They both nodded quickly and held her hands down for me. I knew this would hurt, but I needed to get the glass out.
"I'm so sorry Bella." With that I took a last breath before placing my fingers against her wound. Her whole body tensed and my fingers went slightly inside of her cut. I found the glass quickly as Bella's eyes flew open and she screamed out.
"Shh Bella please try stay still." Jasper tried to sooth her but I could see the pain on his face. I could see both Jasper and Emmett fighting back the tears as they held her down.
"Edward hurry." Alice urged me. I nodded and started to move the glass, Bella screamed out again. Alice had a cloth next to Bella's stomach trying to stop the bleeding. I finally had hold of the glass and slowly removed it. I heard Bella's muffled cries as though she was trying to suppress her screams.
"Almost there sweetie, you're doing great." Rose had Bella's head in her lap and was soothing her hair out.
"Got it!" I screamed, throwing the horrid piece of glass on the ground. I turned back to Bella's wound as blood was seeping out of the slightly bigger cut. I took off my shirt and rolling it up into a ball and placed it over Bella's wound keeping the pressure on it. I felt Bella's whole body relax under my hands; her hand that I didn't notice until now was gripping to my leg slightly loosen.
"Thank you..." she all but whispered as her eyes slowly closed. Sweat seemed to cover every inch of her skin and her hair stuck to the sides of her face and neck.
"No - no Bella stay awake love, keep your eyes open honey." Emmett took some water from the drink bottle and patted her face with it. Her eyes slowly fluttered open again and she smiled weakly up at him.
"Hey Emmie," she squeaked. Emmett had a few stray tears running down his cheek as he brushed away the hair that was stuck to her neck and face.
"You're going to be ok, hun. I promise." He lent down and kissed her forehead and looked back at me.
"She's going to be fine, right?" All eyes were on me now. I knew she would be fine, I wouldn't ever let her die, not if I was around to stop it.
"We need to stop the bleeding and clean the wound to prevent infection." Everyone nodded. Suddenly recognition hit Jasper and he looked at me.
"Is that really the only way." I nodded. Everyone looked confused for a moment. I held my hands tighter on her wound.
"It's.. o..kay." All eyes were on Bella as she choked out. She opened her eyes and looked directly into mine and nodded.
"It's okay Edward." She whispered again. All fear and pain from her eyes had disappeared.
"Edward, what's she talking about. What do you have to do?" Alice asked me.
"We need to keep the wound clean, stop the bleeding." She nodded in agreement.
"But how?" I took a deep breath.
"We need to burn the wound. It's the only way to prevent infection and stop the bleeding." I heard Rose, Emmett and Alice all gasp at the same time. We had all seen this in war movies, we'd all read the history books, when a soldier went down and they would burn the wound when they had no other choice, and no other form of medication to help. It would save their lives.
There was a silence amongst all of us as everyone tried to process what we were about to do. I couldn't bring myself to do it, I knew I had to, I knew I had to be the one to help her. But the thought of me being the one to inflict pain on Bella destroyed me.
"Seriously guys, it has to be done. Do you want me to bleed to death, or do you want to poke a hot stick on me for a couple of seconds?" We all looked at Bella and as she tried to sit up slightly.
"But Bella..." Alice tried to argue.
"Not buts, it has to be done. Either you're going to help me or I'll do it myself." I couldn't help but smile at her, even under the shit circumstances she was still the same strong Bella.
"Emmett, Jasper you're going to go start a fire, Alice and Rose see if you can find any water. And Edward, will keep the pressure." She smiled and winked at me. I slowly moved to take Rose's position sitting behind Bella, making sure that I didn't move my hand away from her wound.
Everyone went off and did as Bella asked. I couldn't help but hold her tighter.
"It's going to be okay Edward. I promise. You can do this." I buried my face in her neck. I couldn't help but fight the tears off. Here she was lying on me with a huge hole in her stomach and she was comforting me.
"Shouldn't it be the other way around, me convincing you it was going to be alright?" I heard her laugh slightly than wince.
"Stop making me laugh, it hurts." I kissed her neck and held onto her and rocked her slightly humming the same tune I had the other night.
It wasn't long before everyone had returned, Alice and Rose had managed to find a small spring which they filled up all our drink bottles while Emmett and Jasper had made a fire. Rose had taken my spot from behind Bella and handed her a rolled up t-shirt. Bella questioned Rose, but before she could open her mouth Rose explained.
"For you to bite down on." Bella smiled and nodded. Jasper and Emmett took their original positions on each side of Bella, gripping her hands and holding down her body. Alice sat opposite me and held down her leg, while I held down the other. The fire was roaring next to me, taunting me about what I had to do. I grabbed the large stick that Emmett had found out of the fire and took a deep breath.
"You ready?" I asked Bella. She took a deep breath and rolled up the material
"Just do it." She put the material in her mouth and laid her head back in Rose's lap and squeezed her eyes shut. I could see her hands tensed around Emmett and Jasper's hands. I took one last deep breath and placed the tip of the stick against Bella's wound. Several things happened simultaneously, her whole body tensed and thrashed under me. Her screams muffled through the cloth; and I could hear the sounds of her skin burning under the stick.
When I had managed to stop the bleeding I removed the stick from her stomach and threw it back in the fire. I was instantly next to her taking the spot of Rose.
"Bella, love it's over. You did it." Bella still clenched onto the material, and her hands still locked around the boys. I leant down and kissed her jaw as she relaxed under me, I removed the material from her mouth and placed it on the ground.
"Open your eyes baby." I whispered to her. She complied and opened them slowly, several tears leaking out the sides and running down her cheeks.
"Oh Bella," I pulled her to me and cradled her in my arms.
She's was safe.
She's safe.
Safe.
BPOV
The pain was unbearable; I felt every piece of my skin being burnt away, every cell of my body burning with pain, every part of my mind was begging for me to fight back, to attack the person who was inflicting this pain on me.
I tried to tell myself beforehand not to scream, not to make a sound. I knew that if I showed pain that they would all feel my pain and I didn't want them to hurt. But it was nothing like I thought. Even after I felt the fire being pulled away from my stomach, it still felt like it was there burning me all over.
It wasn't until I felt Edward's lips on mine that I knew it was over, that the pain had gone. I opened my eyes to fine his bring eyes staring down at mine. I couldn't help but smile at him. As I was in his arms nothing could hurt me, he had saved me in more ways than one.
"Bella..." I broke away from Edward to the soft sound of Alice's voice. She was sitting in Jasper's lap, tears trailing down her cheeks. She clung to Jasper, the same way I clung to Edward.
"Ali..." I whispered but she broke down in tears, she scrambled out of Jasper's lap and crawled to me she placed her head on my shoulder and hugged herself to me.
"Shh Alice it's alright, your safe now." I felt her head shake.
"It's all my fault," she whispered into my shoulder.
"Alice…"
"No it is. It's all my fault. You got hurt trying to save me. It's all my fault." I heard her hiccup through her tears. I brushed my hand accords her back, trying to sooth her.
"No Alice, it's no one's fault. If anything it's that creep who took you." She didn't say anything.
"Ali please, can we just blame him instead of ourselves." Her tiny face lifted from my shoulder and nodded.
"If I ever see him again I swear I'm going to kill him. No better than that I'm going to tie him up to a bed and see how he likes it, then I'm going cut off his royal jewels and stick them on a pole and burn them." Her face turned from sadness to pure hatred in the matter of seconds.
I couldn't help but laugh. My laughter seemed to be contagious, first Alice joined in with me, than Rose, than finally the boys caught on and we laughed for what seemed eternity. It had been so long since we had all laughed. It felt good, it felt natural.
