"Bella!" his voice pierced through the air like it had hit me itself; his voice was enraged but smooth at the same time impossible enough. I lifted my sore neck just enough to see Victoria snap her head up in the direction his voice was coming from, the sky.
She jumped back on to the ground dust flying up from her landing, the foundation shook as Edward's feet landed in front of me breaking the cement form his force.
He crouched down, his eyes strained to see how I looked; I could see his nostrils flare as he took in the scent of my blood which was smeared everywhere. My head spun and I felt weaker like I was sick all over again.
He didn't look directly at me but I could tell he had seen enough, turning back to Victoria she laughed violently, she was enjoying herself too much.
"It's too late Edward" she spoke through her fits
"She's done for" she hissed, laughing aside.
He yelled out in fury and I saw him take a leap to Victoria, she jumped out of the way before he could even get his hands on her.
"Where's the rest of them Edward, I'm sure their not far…but you run fast, I'm sure they just couldn't quit keep up"
"It's you and me Victoria" he huffed angrily, his chest heaving in and out with each breath he took. I tried to sit up more but cried out when I felt the pain from my leg run its course throughout my whole body.
Edward's body tensed and he clenched his fists, he turned his head my way and my lower lip trembled from the pain. The look on his face was unfathomable; I couldn't describe it in any other way.
I still felt awestruck, even with his jaw tight and lips a hard line, he was still just as beautiful.
"Hold on…" he whispered but I could still hear him, probably because that was the only voice I wanted to listen to at the time. Not Victoria's as she mocked him and not Alice as she appeared in front of me, her hands frantic as she tried to find a good spot to rest them.
"Bella?" she asked, placing her hands on my cheeks so I could look at her, I could feel my eyes roll back in my head as my face fell forward and on to her chest.
The cracking and shrieking I heard was disturbing but sounded too far off to effect me. It felt like I was standing at the end of a tunnel and the voices speaking to me were on the other end, echoing throughout the hollow walls. I heard screaming again and then some more cracking, this time it was closer, it was then that I realized it was coming form me.
"Edward hold her still" Carlisle's voice sounded strained, as he worked on my leg, trying to re-break it and set it back in to place.
"Bella…" his voice filled with anxiety made me smile
"I'm here" I whispered through heavy lips, my eyes even heavier as I tried to open them
"It's okay, it's going to be alright" he spoke again and I nodded
"Sure…" I didn't believe him again, it felt worse than any pain I had ever endured and I knew it wasn't okay.
"Emmett hand me that" I heard Carlisle again
"Rosalie keep her head level" I smiled at the thought, Rosalie actually helping me, me!
How were they doing it though? How could they all sit around me and smell my blood but not flinch away? I knew, because they were my family and even though they didn't show it –some more than others- they loved me all the same.
I screamed out in pain again only this time it was Jasper's voice I heard
"Edward you have to do it…"
"No!" Edward yelled, I felt the ground shake beneath me, even though I wasn't in the greatest shape I could just see Edward punching the ground in frustration but then I felt his cool hands on my cheeks soothing the pain I felt
"Edward…"
Esme, my mother in Forks, I loved her as if she was my own.
"No…" Edward said again this time quieter
"You must" Alice broke through my foggy head, my eyes were beginning to open now, enough to see everyone around me but I kept my gaze focused on Edward's
"I'm sorry…" I said groggily, my voice hoarse.
"Don't be sorry this wasn't your fault" Edward answered as he looked down at me, his face twisted in pain, he must have felt it too
"It was, I shouldn't have yelled at you…" I tried to keep the tears back afraid I would lose sight of them all and end up back in the tunnel.
"I shouldn't have left…" he replied, clearing his throat so I could hear him better, his voice sounded just like mine a minute ago.
He bent down even farther and I felt his face rest against my stomach, I lifted up my hand slowly, placing it on his head so I could comfort him the best I could
"My Bella…" he whispered in to me, his face turned my way so I could see him
My vision started to blur, but then become clear but it would fool me and be blurry again. The focus of Edward's face seemed like it was zooming in and until he looked like a blur of color.
I closed my eyes, the tricks they were playing had me fed up
"Edward…" I said again quietly
"Yes?" he asked, I felt him take my hand and then felt his lips press against the palm
"Edward I love you…" I said as my mind placed me back in the tunnel, I didn't want to go back.
"Edward keep her still" it was Carlisle again, I felt Edwards hands latch on to my arms pinning them to the ground, I started to thrash around not wanting to be alone again, for the voices to become quieter and quieter but they were.
"Bella…Bella!" I heard Edward yell as the tunnel became dark.
