Chapter eleven: Waking up to a house full of vampires.

Epov

My stomach dropped when I saw the color drain from Bella's face and her eyes roll back. I reached out and caught her collapsing body just in time.

What the hell happened? I heard four voices shout at me, though none had spoken the thought.

"She fainted," I muttered before lifting her into my arms and walking to the sofa to put her down.

"I she alright?" Esme asked, her hand presses to her chest.

"She will come 'round in a while," I answered her before Alice got a chance.

"What do we do now?" Esme continued and I could hear the worry in her mind.

"We wait. It's all we can do."

Carlisle's pov

I was amazed at how easily Edward pushed his thirst aside to help Bella after she had fainted. Was he even aware of it? And if he was, how did he do this?

"It's not easy," he murmured, answering my thoughts.

"But how do you manage?"

"I don't know. I almost lost control the truck, but she somehow knew that opening the window would help." He shook his head as he looked at the girl on the couch.

"She knows a lot, doesn't she?"

"Yes. I wonder if she has a power similar to mine or to Alice's."

"That sounds plausible."

The room went quiet then. My family was clearly anxious and I couldn't say I blamed them.

I knew why Esme felt ambivalent about the girl that lay unconscious on our couch. She considered Bella the reason for Edwards flight, the rip at the seams of our family and she resented her because of it.

I didn't know why Rosalie was as angry as she was and I wasn't sure I wanted to know. I was afraid I might be disappointed in my daughter.

Edwards jaw tightened as I mulled it over.

Edward, could you try to stay out of my mind? I would appreciate it.

He huffed and turned to me.

"Come get me when she wakes. I'll be upstairs," he spat before he hurried up to his room.

Alice's pov

Now that Edward was out of the room, and having a headphone on his head with the music turned to the max, I could let my mind wander over the shifting images in my mind.

Just minutes after Edward had left to talk to Bella this morning, I had seen her. She was here, with us at the house, but it was not today. The strange part about it was, that she was in Edwards arms. I could almost feel the love radiating from the image.

The vision was fairly clear, but it wavered as my family mulled over the situation with Bella. I knew that Rose and Jazz wouldn't think twice to kill her, if she posed a threat and they wouldn't have Carlisle and Esme to take into consideration. But they were not the worst complication.

Edward was most important to my vision. He almost killed her in the car, but she had responded quick enough to save herself and with that action the image came back after it had vanished.

Then, when they were almost here, he changed his mind about today. He decided to take her to his meadow instead and with that her future was erased entirely. I almost called him on his cell to warn him, but then her future came back. He had probably concluded that it wasn't save for her.

I focused harder on the immediate future and I could see Bella waking up and I saw her talking to us, but what she was going to tell us wasn't audible.

Strange, almost like she's not sure what to tell us yet.

I cocked my head to the side and wondered if she was going to lie to us, or tell us the truth in fifteen minutes.

Mpov

I my unconscious state I had still known what lay ahead of me and the knowledge was disconcerting enough to keep me under for a little while longer. When I finally came to, I could hear nothing. No breathing, no footsteps, nothing whatsoever.

Carefully I peered through my lashes. Alice was leaning over me with a big smile on her face.

"Hello, Bella! About time," she chimed.

I groaned and shut my eyes again.

"Give me a minute," I muttered.

"Sure, sure. I'll go and get Edward. You just wait here."

I didn't hear or feel her move; there was just a very short rush of air. Although I knew these things, they still startled me and I really wanted nothing more than to be back in my own bedroom and leave the vampire stuff to the real Bella.

Okay, Mon. Stop being such a coward! Just open your eyes and face the consequences of your actions.

Bella's not here. You are.

I did as I had ordered myself and opened my eyes. I slowly sat up, noticing for the first time that I had been placed on the couch.

I looked up and saw seven vampires stare at me, almost in the exact same manner as before I fainted. The one exception was Esme.

She had eyed me warily before and now she just seemed concerned. I wasn't sure if it was for my safety or for the safety of her family and their secret.

I smiled tentatively at them and cleared my throat.

"Do you want to do it here?"

Emmet laughed at my remark and it took me a second to realize what he might have heard in it. I tried to ignore him, but he caught my embarrassment and laughed even harder.

"Emmet, shut up," Edward snapped.

"Aw, come on Eddie…" Emmet started, but Edward growled so loud that he stopped mid sentence.

I was absolutely baffled by the strong response coming from Edward and I felt a wave of irritation take over.

"Edward, there's no need for you to overreact like that. It's not that bad," I muttered.

"You couldn't hear what he was thinking."

"I don't care. I'm not a baby."

I scowled at him and he glared back. I folded my arms across my chest and waited. The silence was uncomfortable, but I wasn't intent on giving in. Alice started giggling uncontrollably behind me , but I didn't dare avert my gaze to check why. Edward however could see what she just saw and his forehead crumpled.

Then, for no apparent reason, I felt a surge of lust course through my body. I felt the strongest urge to jump into Edwards arms and start making out with him. Edward's eyes grew darker and glazed over ever so slightly. My body tingled in anticipation of his touch and I drew in a ragged breath. All of a sudden a little voice inside me dragged me out of the emotion long enough to warn me. I growled angrily as I realized what was happening.

"Damn it Jasper! Stop that!" I yelled, without looking away from Edward.

Emmet tried to stifle his laughter, but failed miserably and Edward suddenly hurled himself at his brothers, breaking the eye contact with me.

I shook my head as I turned to see the three boys fighting on the floor. Rosalie was staring at me in disgust, while Alice beamed at me.

Sorry, Alice. Whatever future you see that makes you so happy, is not going to happen. Not if I can help it.

This is not my life. It's Bella's and the longer I stay here, the more I get things twisted.

"I think I'd better leave," I said to Carlisle and Esme.

"We still need answers, Bella."

"I know, Carlisle. I will give you the answers you need, but I think it's best if I stay away from your family as much as I can." I was only lying about the first part, but lying nonetheless.

"I'm only stirring up trouble. I'm really sorry about all of this. I'll make it right. I promise."

A/N: Thanks to the people that read my story and a really big hug to all that left me a review. I love it when I read that people like my stuff. :D

I'm still working on the next chapter for Darkest night. I expect it to be up somewhere at the end of this week.
