Chapter 13
BPoV

Beep…beep…beep beep beep… beep… beep

I awoke to a strange but not unfamiliar sound, the sound of a beeping heart monitor, commonly found in… hospitals.

I couldn't think for the life of me why I was there.

My head hurt in places I never knew could…I had a headache that felt like Mt. Everest was on top of it, and yet I couldn't think of why, nothing was coming to me, it was as a blank as a new piece of paper, my memory wiped from what may or may not have put me in this place.

The caliber of what had to have happened must have been large enough because once I got old enough Dad stopped taking me to the doctors to get treated and just did it from home, I hadn't been in the hospital in years.

I couldn't help but think about where on earth my family could be, were they hurt too? Did the Volturi finally catch on to me?

Before I could let my worries get too out of hand Alice came bustling into the room with some kind of plastic tray in her hands…I knew what that was…hospital food.

"okay so don't look at me like that, I knew this was going to happen so I switched the food with some of mom's homemade chicken noodle soup, while the nurse wasn't looking of course, and now here I am soup in hand, and your awake…holy shit your awake!"

Alice spoke so fast through her whole rant but not looking up for the whole time, but when she did and she finally registered what she had unconsciously noticed and reported hit her, the tray flung from her hands, over her head and straight into Jasper who was standing directly behind her.

"Hi Alice" I said as I gave her a weak smile.

"Hi Alice! Hi Alice! Is that all you can say?! You've been in a coma for like two weeks and all you can say is hi?" she was getting a little louder now, the stress had clearly been getting to her , though she was never one to be able to keep her emotions bottled inside for very long.

"I've been in a coma? For two weeks? Why? " this time I looked to jasper to answer my questions as I could rely on him not to go all Alice on me.

"You really don't know?" he replied.

"I don't remember a thing past getting ready for the first day of school" I said slowly, trying my hardest to come to terms with the fact that I had just lost two weeks of my life.

" Did we get in a car crash or something?" I looked from Jasper to Alice and back again waiting for one of them to answer me, though I knew just as well as anyone that it was no car crash, im not really allowed to drive that much, because im not as 'reliable' on the road as a vampire.

"No Bella we didn't… Edward came."

***

I was in shock, my face clearly resembling a combination on horror and surprise.

But as I was about to open my mouth and ask about what had happened there were flashes of images in my eyes. Blood, snarling, screaming, crying, crashing, more screaming, blackness, pain, smashing, yelling…all of which made me flinch to no end.

But soon the images started to slow down and I could make out everything that was happening.

We were all standing around in the lounge, Mom was as close to crying as she could physically get, Dad was by the fireplace, explaining why…

What was he explaining…

…………

He was explaining why he never told us about Edward.

There was a knocking at the door.

Rosalie walking over to it.

Alice screaming

"NO ROSE!"

Jasper leaping towards the door.

A bronze haired blurred through the door.

Knocking jasper to the floor. But jasper didn't get up, he just laid there as a heap in the corner.

The intruder stood up, shook the fallen plaster and miscellaneous debris off of himself and faced towards…me.

Emmett walked forward no doubts the next to take battle against this mysterious person that is here to kill me.

Edward.

Emmett charged for Edward and got down into a classic football tackling position no doubt going for the hips, to take him down.

Edward was faster.

Edward ducked a little lower than Emmett was able to and when Emmett was just over him he stood up and threw him head first into the wall behind.

By now Jasper was recovered and was coming at him for another shot, but Edward was too fast and came straight for me.

Why was he so fast?

Human blood, that's why.

I was backing up quickly.

Straight into the wall behind me.

Mom, Dad , Alice and Rose each came after him, but he was just to fast and grabbed me and threw me into the adjacent wall…

Everything else was blank.

I raised my head and looked straight at Alice and Jasper.

"Where's Emmett?" I asked aloud… worried.

"Where is he, is he okay? Why did Edward know where to come? Where are mom and dad? Where's rose? Oh my god what happened? Where's Edward now?"

I continued to rattle off questions and get all worked up, some may say clearly for nothing as they were vampires, but I had been there, I could clearly see what Edward could do.

My state of hysteric worry was only so long though because I could start to feel myself calm down, I looked straight to Jasper and just glared at him.

"Why did you do that, im trying to freak out here, don't you dare calm me down I have the right to freak out they're my family." I was madder that Jasper had the nerve to try and calm me during a time in which I would have thought was perfectly reasonable to be freaking out.

"Bella please you need to stay calm…if you don't the nurses will need to be alerted and they will come and give you a shot to calm you down, it's your choice, the mind or the needle….your pick" Jasper responded to my rant in the only way that ever works properly. A threat with needles.

I had no choice but to listen to him.

"Okay ill calm down if you promise to tell me what is going on."

Alice and Jasper exchanged a look and nodded at each other. Then they each took a seat at either side of my bed and proceeded to tell me exactly what had happened before and after the fight with Edward.

***

"So you're telling me that Edward is nowhere to be seen…he got away…AGAIN?!"

"Yes Bella that's exactly what were saying "
