Bella POV

I thought that i was falling asleep, but I wasn't, not at all.

I could feel myself, just inches from being asleep, but something strange happened. There was a tingling in the back of my head, and my eyes suddenly snapped open.

I wasn't in the small place in my mind anymore. I was in the room where 'I' was being attacked by the vampires. I was watching myself being clawed at. But I wasn't me. It was like I was fliming it, and I could see everything that was happening.

Edward was roaring and pushing against the strength of the chains. Alice was doing the same. Aro looked like he was concentrating, expecting something.

I could see myself too. I was on the floor. I looked lifeless, but my eyes were open. I cringed. They were a blood red. I looked dead. I could see the gashes that were on my body, and the scars of the bitemarks. There must have been seventeen bite marks.

Aro sighed in defeat. "That's quite enought." He told the guards. In an instant they had stopped, revealing me completely to Edward.

Alice gasped, and Edward let out a dry sob. To them, I looked dead. Aro was completely oblivous to this fact. He ordered a couple of the guard to take me to a room to let me recover.

That was when I noticed that my star was with me. It was brightening, making it almost impossible to see. Suddenly I was back at the place in my mind.

What was happening to me? This was not a very pleasent death. I wanted to sob. I wanted to scream. I wanted to hit something. How could I have been so selfish to Edward? I attempted to gasp. Maybe I could live again.

I bolted towards the crimson curtain. I tore it open and once again, broke through the barrier of silence.

I snapped my head up when I had returned to my body. I was once again in the familiar dark room. This was where I had been transformed.

I groaned. It felt like I had a hangover.

My body was numb all over, almost tingling. I looked down at myself, and flinched. My skin was reattaching itself over the deep gashed. However, the bitemarks weren't healing.

They were prickling around the edges.

I let out a sob of relief. I was alive. Edward would soon find out that I was alive.

I stood up. I immediately regreted it. My legs felt like bolders as I dragged them toward the door. It almost felt like I had a migrain. My head was spinning and I could feel the unpleasent feeling of thirst creeping into my throat.

Much to my surprise, the door was unlocked. I pushed it open and cautiously crept down the hall. Everything was silent, it surprised me. I continued down the dark and moist corridor, unsure of where to go.

I had to find Edward. He had to know.

My legs were starting to feel lighter as my skin had almost completely reattached itself. I could begin to hear the faint sounds of sobbing. I started sprinting towards the noise.

"Edward?" I yelled.

The sobbing seized. "Bella?" Alice and Edward's voices were muffled behind a large wooden door. I kicked it open.

Their faces were exactly the same. Caught between disbelief and relief. "B-Bella? B-but you were..." Alice stammered.

I was just about to explain the difficult story, but was interrupted by the annoyingly obvious clearing of the throat.

Aro.
