Scars

Chapter 29

Esme POV

I felt a vampire bite into my neck and then I fell to the ground. I could not see what was going on but I could hear. I heard my family's terrified screams and mine as well. My heart felt as if it was going at a million beats a minute and I thought I was going to die. I heard multiple screams ring in the air and a thud before I could see nor hear no more.

When I awoke I got up and saw the I could see everything clearly and it was just amazing. I stood up and looked around to see my whole family on the ground. And just at that moment they all awakened as well. We all noticed the quickness with our movements.

That was when I remembered the screams and thud I heard before I blacked out. I looked farther to see someone laying on the ground. Not moving. No heartbeat. I ran towards the person and my eyes widened to see Bella. I sobbed and watched her carefully. She was alive! She was breathing, I observed as I saw the rising and lowering of her chest.

"Oh my god!" Alice yelled. I looked over to see that Alice had just spotted Bella. My whole family turned to see the scene and gasped with wide eyes. They all ran over at our new vampire speed. And we stared at Bella.

"Let's take her to the house." My beautiful husband directed. We all nodded. And Edward carried her to the our house.

Bella POV

All I saw was darkness. I don't know how long its been but I cant seem to get out. I'll do anything. I mean if this battle didn't happen, I seriously wouldn't care. But my family needs me. I tried pushing against the dark trying to ignore the pain and soon I heard voices.

"What should we do?"

"Well she is breathing so I guess she will wake up on her own."

"How long will that take?"

"Depends."

"Depends??"

"It just depends."

"Well.. Then what do we do about her arm."

"I am not sure."

I listened to the voices but I couldn't decipher who's voices they were. I am in too much pain and way too tired for that. I pushed more against the darkness and I started to see a bright light. But I closed my eyes again, against the pain. "She will wake up in 2 minutes." I heard someone saw. "How did you know that?" Someone else asked. "I don't know." Someone said.

Then I finally opened my eyes. And there were 7 red eyes all on me. I tried to ignore that fact. And gritted my teeth as I felt the impact of my injuries and the explanations for them. My back from the bite, my neck from the bite, my arm from being torn off, my ankle and both my shoulders from being bit and finally my waist. I have to be strong though.

I got up and groaned. "Bella?" Carsile asked. I turned around and winced in pain. And then I felt so darn guilty looking at this new vampire family. "Yes?" I finally answered. "Thank god your awake!" Esme said. I smiled a little but kept still. "Bella?" Emmett asked. "Yes?" I answered again. "Why is my throat burning?" He asked. That's when I knew I had to work through my pain. I didn't rescue them in time. Now they are newborns and they need to hunt.

"You need to hunt. Go out to the forest. I will meet you there in a moment." I said. "Are you sure?" Jasper asked. "Yes, Yes." I said. And they all scurried out except Edward. "Bella?" He asked. "What?" I asked. "Are you alright?" He asked. "Of course. Now go join the others." I said. "Bella-" He started. "Go." I commanded and he left. I sighed and tried to walk normally. Before I knew it I was on the ground. I fell? I tripped and fell? I haven't done that… for so long. My ankle was stinging badly.

I got up and changed into a panther. I growled against the pain. Doing this for my family. Doing this for my family. I ran out and found them just standing there. Emmett looked at me like food and licked his lips. "It's me." I said. And his eyes widened and he backed away. "Alright. So let your instincts take over and just don't what feels right." I said. And everyone was off. I checked on everyone and they were doing fine. I was kind of thirsty but I didn't feel like going for a snack. Why live? And I needed to sit for a moment.

About 2 miles away from everyone, which is right out of hearing. I morphed back into myself and stumbled. Black spots danced in my vision. I shook my head and they disappeared. I smelt blood and venom and looked down to see that all my bites were oozing out with them. My family could not see my clothes. What to do? I ran home and searched around for some gauze and I actually found some. I put some around my entire torso, both my shoulder and my ankle. Now.. Time to sew my arm back together.

I went upstairs to grab my arm and founding a sewing kit. I sat like that sewing until my arm was patched up and I heard the Cullen's coming home. I then ran upstairs to change. I changed into a long sleeved light blue shirt with a dark blue no sleeved jacket over it. Just in case it leaks through. Then I put on dark jeans and black converse. I walked downstairs and they were all standing there in silence then they started questioning.

"Where did you go?"

"Why didn't you stay hunting?"

"Did you hunt?"

"Why did you change your clothes?"

"How is your arm reattached?"

I blinked in surprise. "Whoa. Hold on." I said and they looked down slightly embarrassed. "Okay. I came here. I didn't stay hunting because it was very hard to go hunting with one arm. And you were all doing very well. I changed my clothes because I made a mess of blood and just changed them. I just reattached my arm by sewing it back." I said. "Wow." They all breathed. They didn't notice how I successfully dodged the hunting question.\

"What's that on your neck?" Jasper asked. My bite mark. "An old bite mark." I lied. "Old?" Edward asked. "Yes. Your human eyes had not been able to see it but your new eyes can." I explained. They just nodded. Edward walked over to me and tried to put his arms around me but I flinched. Not because I didn't want him there. Emotionally I did. But physically I was really injured. "Everybody stay in this house. We will talk tomorrow afternoon. I will be in my room." I spoke.

And then I walked away and tried to ignore the worried eyes following me up all the way until I shut the door.
