Chapter 10
BPOV
It's been 5 months since Edward left for war. I miss him so much, and it hurts more and more as each day passes. Each day I wonder, is today the day that Edward will return to me? I have to stay hopeful that he will come home, because if he doesn't I don't think I will survive.
I was sitting on the couch in my home, watching the news. Something I have been doing a lot of lately, when a special broadcast came on. I sat up properly from my seat, and listened attentively.
"5 people just this week have been reported very ill with the same symptoms. Doctors still aren't sure what is making these people so sick. Here is Tim with the latest news on this sickness."
"Thank-you Trudy. I am here in front of sydshine hospital with Dr. Shared. Dr., do you have any idea what is causing these people to become so sick?"
"I'm sorry to say, that we still have not found the cause. All 5 patients all have the same symptoms, coughing, raging fevers and they are all delirious, and we have no clue what it is. We do believe that it is a disease and that it is very likely that it's is contagious. We have quarantined the patients, and now can only hope they get better and that it has not spreads to other people."
"Thank-you Dr. Shared. Well there you have it Trudy."
"Thanks Tim. Now for..."
I turned the T.V off after that, and went for a walk. I went to me and Edward's place. The cliff. It brought me such peace. There I daydreamed for hours about all the fun times between Edward and myself.

Gosh I missed Bella so much. I can't wait to go home. But we were leaving soon, I was going back home, in just a few short weeks. That's what kept me going, thinking about how soon I can hold Bella again.
"Hey, you thinking about Bella again?" Jasper my best friend sat down beside me. He knew me too well.
"Yeah, I miss her heaps!" Jasper stood up suddenly.
"Come on Emmett's playing a round of poker, his probably loosing."
"And why would I want to go watch him lose?"
"Cause whenever I'm down, I just watch Emmett lose at something and it will cheer you up for the whole week!" Jasper laughed "He chucks one hell of a hissy fit"
I laughed too. "Great, let's go!"
We just reached the poker match, and it was nearly over, and surprise surprise Emmett was losing. My day suddenly brightened up; oh this was going to be sweet.
"DAMN IT!! Not fair, I want a rematch." Emmett just lost.
"Wait for it, wait for it." Jasper was whispering under his breathe.
The other guy just declined his offer for a rematch.
"That's not fair you just don't want to cause you know I'll win." Emmett walked off mumbling all kinds of ridiculous things under his breathe. Jasper was right it was so worth watching Emmett lose.
Jasper and I walked back to our tents with huge smiles on our faces, looks like this week isn't going to be so bad after all.
Just as we were about to dish it out to Emmett, a siren went off, warning us that there was an attack. We quickly grabbed our gear, and headed out. The smiles quickly wiped off of our faces and any thought of bagging Emmett gone as quickly as it came. This was not good.

Just as I walked through my front door, I heard the TV on. It was the news. I listened in.
"It's been reported that there has been a sneak attack on our soldiers. We have already lost several men, and more are to go down at this rate. We will find out more in just a few minutes."
I was alarmed, I ran into the living room, and sat on the floor in front of the TV. My Mother was on the couch, she looked so worried. I quickly sat up on the couch beside her and held her hand. My Father was out there too, I can't lose him just like I can't lose Edward.
"Back with more news from the war, it is believed that 9 of our men have been killed. But it is alleged that there are more unaccounted for." My Mother turned off the TV right after they said that. She had tears in her eyes. "Go to bed please Bella." She told me quietly. So I did, she followed suit soon after. This was not good.
Hey R&R
And sorry I don't know too much about the war, so if I've got things really wrong feel free to let me know.
Some Feedback would be great!!
Thanks Bye
