Chapter 14- realization.
Edward's POV
"BELLA!" I screamed as I watched her angelic body hit hard against the dirty pavement.
"CARLISLE! WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? Bella! Oh Bella, please come back to me" I pleaded as I scooped her up into my arms. She felt completely lifeless and I couldn't be sure if she was completely dead or not. Hence, vampires not needing to breathe and all.
"I-I… I don't know… maybe there's some kind of side-affect to her power or something." Carlisle said with a surprisingly terrified tone.
"That would explain my vision; I didn't know what it meant so I didn't say anything. I thought she just fell on purpose; like in shock or something." Alice said with a worried look. The guilt in her eyes was incredibly noticeable.
"Well what am I supposed to do?!" I shouted at Carlisle. "I can't just leave her like this!"
Suddenly her enticing cold body flinched. And her perfectly golden eyes looked dazedly up at me.
"Bella! Can you hear me? It's me, my angel, I'm right here." I tried again to read her thoughts. Oh, how I wish I could.
Then strangely enough, she started to look more and more awake. "Edward?" She asked warily. "What happened?"
Rosalie had been standing in shock and when Bella spoke, she ran up, "Bella, I'm so sorry. I don't know if that was my fault or not but I'm so sorry!"
"Don't worry about it Rose, I'm feeling better. My head's a little dizzy but I'm fine nonetheless." Her voice sounded more subtle with each word she melodically spoke.
"Bella, oh my dear, I love you so much." I whispered to her.
"Edward, please let me down. We have to go get Esme. We're running out of time. You can explain on the way there…"
I was interrupted by Carlisle's thoughts, Why would Bella have fainted if she is immortal? OHMY GOODNESS! I rememberAro speaking of this when I was with him. He said that if a vampire wills away their power, it weakens them.
"Edward! I remember-" I cut Carlisle off before he could finish. "Thanks Carlisle. We have to go right now!" I turned to Emmett, Rosalie, Alice and Jasper whom all shared the same confused look. "I'll explain over the phone." I said as I continued to cradle Bella in my arms as I ran back to the vehicle. I gently placed her into the backseat just as Carlisle was starting up the engine. Once we were on the road again, Carlisle sped past the slow traffic with intensity in his grip.
Bella's POV
Nearly a thousand confused thoughts rushed through my head. Why did I collapse? How did I collapse? Did Rosalie get the power? What time is it?
Then within a second, my head dazed into a vision, but this time it was not as clear. The vision was so excruciatingly horrible; I screamed out loud and tried to shake off the terrorizing, yet still hazy scene. I saw Victoria with a destructive look on her face as she stood with a shining dagger pointing right towards the chest of my body.
"Bella?" Edward's velvet voice had a familiar terror buried in it.
"Yes?"
"Carlisle says that he knows why you… err… collapsed. He said that Aro once told him that if a Vampire wills away their powers, they become weak. Obviously that is what you were doing. Although I am unconditionally relieved, I don't quite understand how you became strong again." Edward looked thoughtfully at me with his gorgeous eyes.
"Jasper." Carlisle said. "Jasper was using his power to try and calm us down when Bella collapsed and therefore, she regained his power and she became strong." Carlisle's tone resembled a child understanding something for the first time.
Edward nodded and then I looked out the window as the landscape rushed past me. I ran deep into thought while Edward called Jasper and explained. It was hard for me to read Carlisle and Edward's mind; this frustrated me so I closed my eyes even though I wasn't tired. I thought about Esme and what Victoria had decided: to kill me. Probably with the rest of my family around. I couldn't stand the thought of hurting all of them. I loved them. I missed the ease of being around them. The smiles; Emmett's especially.
I didn't realize how long I had been lost in thought until Edward turned to me and said, "Are you sure it was first beach Bells? We're nearing La Push." At that very moment, a bitter smell filled my nose.
It was obviously the smell of a werewolf.
