Chapter 11

Andy PoV

Torture, I never really understood that word until now.

To be honest, the fall really was not the bad part. Bella had caught me just inches from the pavement and dragged me into the soft grass.

The immobility was bearable also, but at least my eyes could still move. The stars were twinkle in the darkness; the moon was especially bright this particular night.

No, the torturous part of the experience was Bella's reaction. I don't think I had ever heard anyone scream like that in my entire life. Not only had she screamed as if someone was killing her, she began frighteningly running around in circles cursing my stupidity.

I had tried to relax her while she was pacing. Bella I am fine, I thought. I couldn't tell if she had heard me or not. I wasn't sure that she was listening at that point.

Eventually, after hearing plenty of screams of anguish on Bella's part, her family raced down the street. There were more with them, I could count at least four or five new faces. I tried to phase their minds as well.

Edward! Alice! I am fine! Bella won't listen to me. Several vampires gathered over me to inspect my condition I guess, a few unrecognizable vampires began to whisper among themselves.

I heard Alice's voice first, "I hate to brake this to you Andy, but you're not exactly fine. You're ice cold and still as a stone." She started laughing, as if any of this could be funny. I guess it was a good thing I still had my mind to communicate with.

I let my eyes roll again. It seemed to be the only expression I could muster, given my lack of regular body language. I could feel several hands lifting my body off the grass. There were three pairs of unfamiliar eyes attached to the hands that were lifting me towards their home.

The largest of the men saw me glancing at him, "Hi," he smiled down at me, "Its nice to meet you, I'm Emmett," the vampire let one of his hands leave my back and held it near my arm, pretending to shake it. Funny, I told him, I'm laughing on the inside, I swear. Emmett chuckled and looked across my body to the younger of the two other blond vampires carrying the other side of my body. "I like him," he turned his head back down and winked at me.

"Focus Emmett," the other blond vampire carrying my head spoke, "He's breakable, you don't want to hurt him anymore than he is already."

I wasn't sure if he had gotten the memo. He looked down at me again, "You don't know that your fine," he answered my undelivered thought, "You could still just be in shock or have a concussion from the fall,"

This was the doctor, I'd put the pieces together in my head. Bella had mentioned him, I was certain his name was Carlisle. I looked over at the blond boy on my right, that must be Jasper. It was exciting to finally be meeting all of the Cullens. I had been waiting for this, not only since Bella told me about each of them, but also since Jacob had first mentioned them back in La Push.

I could still hear Bella's cries from behind me, frantically explaining what happened to some other Vampires I had yet to meet.

"Bella, honey, calm down. Andy is fine." A soothing woman's voice was trying to coax her screaming with her mellow voice.

It wasn't entirely successful. "But look at him!" I could feel her finger pointing at me, "that is not fine!"

I feel fine, I chimed in. Hopefully she would relax a bit if she heard it from me. She seemed like she was up to listening again.

"Sure, you feel fine now, but you wont in a little bit when you fall down dead or something much worse! You don't look fine either!" she screamed.

This was going to be harder than I thought.

Suddenly I felt a hard surface underneath of me. They must have carried me back inside the house. I could feel a pillow under my head. A bed perhaps? I wonder why they would even have a bed. They don't use it.

I could see the doctor leaning down over my face. Placing his fingers at various locations across the crown of my head. He spoke, "Andy I am just examining your head for any signs of a concussion. I can't be sure if you are actually lucid or not. I know you can communicate with us, but I have never had a case like this where a person can communicate his condition, yet still remain unconscious."

Great. Yet another sign that I'm not normal. I should have known going after my sister like this would not bring me the normality that I desired. Nothing was ever as normal as it should be.

Carlisle checked my breathing and heartbeat. I wondered how that was possible, given his nature. I would have to ask him, when I was conscious again. Right then, I felt like sleeping…

oooooooooooooooooo

The tingling sensation in my left hand finger woke me up with a start. I sat myself up automatically and began examining my pinky. It felt as if it had fallen asleep. I tried to move it, yet it just remained in the slightly bent position it was already in. After about a minute of trying to will my finger to move, the feeing came back. I had complete control over my body again.

I began to stretch, never in my life had I felt so cramped up. I wondered how long I had been sleeping for. I studied the room for any sort of clock, which there wasn't, when I saw Bella sitting in the right corner of the bare room in a folding chair.

"Hey," I told her smiling, "Look." I wiggled my arms and legs to show her my movement had returned. She did not look pleased at my accomplishment. Should I really have expected anything less?

"Andy," she spoke sternly and quietly, "What the hell were you thinking?"

I was afraid that if I told her what I was really thinking, I had been doing such a good job of hiding it from her too, that she would get extremely angry with me. I honestly didn't believe that anything was going to happen. This sweet, nice, and interesting girl couldn't possibly hurt me. Boy, she would yell at me for that one!

I knew she couldn't hear that thought either. Obviously, I was still very new at screening my thoughts, but I seemed to understand the gist of how I could tell someone something and hide something else from another person. Damn uniqueness.

"Andy?" Bella was being impatient, probably due to my confusing and complicated answers that were still mopping around in my head, none of which she could read of course.

I sighed, stretching out my arms to the side. "I wanted to see what would happen. If whatever it is didn't kill me, maybe you would let me stay." It was partially true. I really did want her to relax a bit around me if I did move in.

"Don't lie, you didn't think that I could hurt you, did you?" she completed her own question with the right answer.

A bit embarrassed, I decided to answer her in my head. How did you know? I wondered if my own thoughts had betrayed me, it wouldn't be the first time.

"I used to be exactly like you Andy. I never believed Edward could ever hurt me, even when he told me that he thirsted for my blood above all others'." she explained.

"So you understand then!" I was so happy she was finally accepting that.

Bella shook her head, "It was different situation. Edward couldn't hurt me. He had control. I don't have any control over this Andy." She tried to gently pick at her sparkles again.

"What's going to happen then?" I asked, genuinely curious. There was no way I was moving back home, and it was becoming more and more clear that Bella was afraid to have me around her too much.

Bella wasn't talking. I couldn't tell if she was thinking of an answer or if she just wished the question would float away. However, a distraction ran into the room quickly enough that an answer wasn't necessary.

Alice's eyes were wide as she spoke eloquently, "Andy! You have to talk to your parents! They have the police looking everywhere for you!"

I was about to protest. Something along the lines of, 'fine let them look I could care less,' but then Bella spoke.

"They could find us" she realized, her eyes becoming just as expressive as Alice's.

I sighed, I knew I had to think of something. The problem was what. I couldn't say or do anything that would lead them to Kemptville, nor could I go home or leave my new friends, mostly out of fear that they would leave me in the process.

The idea popped into my head all at once and before I had time to sort out the details I was already collecting my materials, "Alice, I am going to need your help. And Carlisle's too."

I ran out of the room and grabbed a piece of paper and a pen. I scratched the name down on quickly. Crystaline University.
