We made our way over to Edward's house, all three of us in his Volvo.

Abby didn't mind sitting in the back alone, so I sat in the front, holding Edward's hand as always.

I was worried, and even though I hated to admit it… scared. James had found out my residence in Forks. On his note he said he'd find me, which meant he was coming to Forks to find me. My human friends were here and they were unafraid of the woods… where James would be lurking…

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't realize at first that the car had even stopped. It took Edward opening my door for me to look up, with a start.

I just then realized that Tommy would need to come over to Edward's house, so I mentally called for him.

"Tommy?" I thought out to him, knowing he'd be there, available.

"Sisa? What is it, Bewa?" He thought and I meowed a little at the 'sister' he tried to say. Edward and Abby looked at me, then at each other before shrugging it off. They probably figured I was doing what I was going.

"It's me, listen I need you to teleport your way over here."

Tommy panicked. "I can't do dat, va babysita's still here!"

I groaned; I hadn't thought of that. "Can't you get rid of her somehow? I mean… put a sleeping incantation on her until we get back; you did it last year to that other babysitter."

Tommy thought for a moment, "alwite; I fink I can do dat."

"Good boy," I said and I sealed my mind off once again.

"What was that, love?" Edward asked and came to stand beside me, wrapping his arm around me once again and I leaned into him automatically.

"I was talking to Tommy; he's coming over as soon as he puts a sleeping incantation on the babysitter."

Abby chuckled and I smirked; she was probably remembering the time when Tommy did that so he could play outside when he wasn't supposed to. Mum had come home to find the babysitter asleep and Tommy outside. Let's just say that Mum wasn't happy and the babysitter freaked and left. We didn't have her again.

Edward chuckled then, hearing it from Abby, I guessed.

"That time outside?" I asked her and she and Edward nodded, laughing still.

We stopped and headed inside, our weaponry and the file in tow.

We walked up the few stairs and inside the open door.

I put the stuff I had been carrying down, as did Abby before she took the file from me.

Edward and I could hear them in the lounge room, so we walked into the lounge room, with Abby following us.

She was looking around at everything and I didn't need Edward's ability to know that she thought this place was fucking amazing and downright fascinating. Abby and I had similar minds, and that was what I had thought of the place when I first stepped inside. But that had only been for a short second, before I had focused back on the voice again, at that time.

"Can't believe your boyfriend lives here, BB Swan," she said and I snorted, shaking my head. She waved me off, still preoccupied by what she was looking at.

I turned to Edward, suddenly thirsty. "Edward, love, can I have something to drink?"

"Of course," he smiled and he disappeared into the kitchen. "What would you like?" He called out and I smiled. He was so eager to help, he forgot to ask.

"Water from the tap is fine," I said and a second later, a drink was in my hands.

"Thanks," I said, before eagerly chugging down the whole glass.

Well, I nearly did finish it all… but then…

"Oh god," I choked out as my throat closed up completely. I started clawing at my throat, frantically trying to breathe.

"Bella?" Edward gasped, then growled as he tried to help me. "What happened? Bella, what's wrong?"

It was then that I realized that James coming to Forks was the least of my worries.

Because I'd just consumed Lithium and it was killing me.

"Lith-" I tried to say it, but I couldn't finish the word. My vision was getting blurry, I was getting dizzy and I was scarcely aware of everyone else around me, trying to figure out what's wrong. "Lithi-"

Edward gasped and his eyes flashed to Carlisle's face. Carlisle looked at me for half a second in horror, before picking up the glass and smelling it.

Edward growled before Carlisle could say anything, and he grabbed me in his arms.

Carlisle reached towards me and held his hand against my forehead, only to pull away a fraction of a second later, hissing in pain. "She's burning up; she's the temperature of fire right now."

"Lithium," Edward growled out and everyone - bar Carlisle - gasped. "I'm sorry, Bella. I didn't mean to… Oh god," he choked on tearless sobs. But I couldn't comfort Edward and that frustrated me.

I waved my hand around shakily, trying to convey that I wanted to write something.

A pen and paper flashed before my eyes and I grabbed a hold of them greedily.

I wrote the word cure on the page and Edward gasped, his eyes filling with hope.

He grasped my face, cradling it with his large hands, caressing my cheeks softly. "What is it, Bella?" He begged me and I tried to write more.

Just then, I heard a little, childish voice behind me.

"Bewie!" Tommy cried and he ran to me. "Lifium; is lifium doing dis to her."

I nodded or at least I tried to and tears streamed down his face.

"No!" He cried and I opened my mind to him.

"Tell them there's a cure," I begged him and he complied.

The Cullens looked at me, hope in every single one of the pairs of eyes, including Abby.

"What is it, Bella?" Abby said, coming towards me only to stop.

I felt like I was falling then, but Edward or someone must have caught me and then I was lying on one of their couches.

I looked at tommy again and he nodded. "Tell them I have an antidote but that it's within my bloodstream. Tell then that I have dormant venom."

He relayed my thoughts word for word.

"You have venom?" Edward asked, confused. I tried to nod again, and I think it worked.

"Tell them that there's only one way to activate it." Tommy did this again and Edward kneeled next to me.

Just then, the splitting pain started making me arch and scream. I could feel the hot tears spill from my eyes as I whimpered and trembled from the pain. My body and mind scrambled, trying to control my body and the situation. But it wasn't working.

Edward kept holding my hand, silently begging me with his eyes.

"Tommy," I whispered, even my mental voice fading, weakening. He looked at me. "Tell them that one of them has to bite me, suck the antidote out and then re-inject it through another bite. Tell Edward that he has to do it because he's the him-him. That he is the only one who can save me, it's re-determined that way. It'll work only if he does it."

Edward looked at me, panicking, when Tommy had finished relaying my thoughts out loud.

"Bella, I-" he cut off, just simply looking at me. "I don't think I can… your blood…"

I begged him with my eyes. He had to understand. He was the him-him. He was destined to save me whenever I needed saving and it would only work when he did it.

"Ple-ase," I whimpered as the pain got worse. My body was on fire… stretching, twisting, throbbing and anything else that could possibly cause pain.

"Tommy, tell Edward that he'll be able to figure out what is the venom - the antidote - and what is the blood; that he can only withdraw the venom. Tell him not to swallow the venom, but hold it and then bite somewhere closer to my heart and push it out just as he would push his venom into an animal."

Tommy told them that and they looked at Edward. Edward looked at me for a second, before lowering his lips to my wrist. He took it in his shaky hands, holding it vertically in front of his face as he stared at it intently. I sucked in a deep breath, nodding when he looked at me for confirmation.

"I love you," he whispered, and then his lips brushed against my wrist in a soft kiss, before he sunk his teeth in.

It didn't even really hurt; it was more of a fierce relief. I could feel it; as every little millilitre came out, the pain lessened.

He was finally done with getting the antidote but he looked at me again. I smiled and nodded weakly, already feeling slightly better. The pain was still there, but it had lessened and breathing was a little easier.

He moved to my collarbone, still looking at me and bit down. Hard. I could feel the pressure of the antidote as it pushed through my bloodstream, travelling to my heart, which then spread it all across my body. As it swept through me the pain, left my body, replaced with a warm, comfortable feeling and I lay there, sweating and panting for air that felt near impossible to find.

But I did find it, and I got better.

But I was so tired again that my vision blurred, again and I fell into a regenerating sleep.


Well then, what did we think of that? I thought it would be good to get out what exactly the "him-him" was in his abilities etc.
