So I am so so sorry and here is the chapter!!!!! We have moved back to Angie with Carlisle fixing her up!!!!
Back to Forks- Chapter 33- Giving up the Pretense
***Esme's POV***
"You're going to be ok, Angie." Alice whispered brokenly.
"Esme go get some towels to staunch the bleeding on her head please?" Carlisle asked kneeling to her head, to put his hand on the back of her head to start and try to stop the bleeding.
"Of course," I stood up quickly from my crouch next to Angie and dashed out of the living room.
Oh my god. My poor hallway and stairwell! The wall had a long gash going the whole way down the stairs, the banister was mostly gone, the chunks having just ripped off as I was pulled down it. The wall at the end of the stairwell was destroyed and the banister was just history.
I started up the stairs after my second of sad hesitation. Half of the stairs were cracked or broken, sunken in; it had to be from Angela's hard footfalls.
Finally, I got to the top landing. And I saw two long, rough holes running down the middle of the hallway like the yellow stripes on a road.
My poor, poor house. I sighed in sadness for my now ruined house.
Oh well, I will just have to rebuild and renovate…
Yay! My favorite thing!
I dashed down the hallway to the linen closet as fast as possible, trying to make up for the lost time that I had taken while gawking at the damage.
I grabbed a darker set of towels. I ran to the top of the stairs and jumped over the banister to the floor below. As I had ran and then jumped to the floor, I could feel my muscles move, and I could tell I was physically tired from pushing my strength a little more than even my super-human strength could handle, it wasn't like I could have fallen asleep, but I would like to sit and rest. I quickly ran back into the living room and to Angie's side.
***Carlisle's POV***
Esme ran back to me, many dark towels in her hands.
I pulled the top towel off of the stack in her arms, bunched it up, and pressed it to the back of Angie's head.
"Alice could you get me my doctor's bag from my office?" I asked of her, I wouldn't have asked her to leave her friend, but as I could now see, Esme was physically tired from her exertion of super-vampire strength, and I wanted her to rest.
"Of course," Alice said from her position by Angie's other side, where she had been reassuring Angie. And she dashed upstairs.
"Hey, what can I do to help?" Jasper came into the house, finished from taking Angela out to the forest.
"Oh Jasper. Yes we could use you. Either you could take over for Esme with the towels, or you could hold this towel to Angie's head, if you think you can handle it."
"I can take your spot Carlisle, I bet Esme is relatively tired and sore after her battle with Angela. Let her relax. "
"Are you sure Jasper? The blood…"
"Carlisle, I am fine, I have lived another hundred years since I had attacked Bella. I am much more in control than the last time I saw blood. It doesn't affect me the same anymore, I can keep in total control now. And I am already standing here and doing just fine, I don't think it will make much of a difference where you are. I can do this. I know I can."
"Ok Jasper. I am so glad you have finally gotten used to our way of life. And that you can be so confident in yourself. I'm proud of you son."
"Thank you Carlisle." Jasper smiled widely at me. I smiled back, "Alright well come down here and help."
Jasper squatted down next to me and I help the towel by my fingertips as he slid his hand where mine had been.
"When you feel any good amount of wetness through this towel grab a new one from Esme."
"Ok got it. I will be fine Carlisle. Just help Angie, and don't worry about me."
I smiled at him and then turned to Angie, "Angie can you still understand us?"
"Yes. What happened to my great- grandma? What happened to me? Am I ok? Will I be ok?" Angie's rough and quiet voice rose an octave in her anxiety. But, judging by how weak her voice was she would be losing consciousness soon if we didn't stop the bleeding on her head soon.
"Carlisle, here is your bag." Alice said whipping into the room, "Jazzy! What are you doing here? Are you sure you can handle it?" She went and squatted across from him at her head.
"Perfect timing Alice, thank you." I told her, "And Jasper is fine. Don't worry about him, he is under control."
"You welcome. And good for you Jazz. I'm so proud of you," she said, leaning across Angie and kissing his cheek.
"Angie we are going to sit you up and I am going to look at your head. But, before we do I need to know if your back or neck hurts, because if so we should not be sitting you up, or else you could become paralyzed."
"My back and neck hurt a little, but nothing terrible that could mean my back or neck is broken." Angie whispered.
"Ok, and we will mend your arm, after we get you head patched up and stop the bleeding."
"Ok."
"Alice can you give her some pain meds? I will get the pills but could you grab her some water and help her take them please?" I said as I took the gauze, tape, anti-bacterial medicine, and the stitching supplies. I grabbed the pain meds for Alice while I was in there.
She was back in a second with a glass of water in hand, I handed her the bottle of morphine.
"Jasper while we sit her up just keep your hands on her head and neck, keep it supported, and the blood from running all over. And Esme if you could just sit and hold her up."
We slowly shifted her into a sitting position, I pushed up her shoulders, as Jasper supported her head. Esme pushed her butt back a little as we got her sitting up higher, and then Esme supported her lower back as she was more upright.
Esme held Angie upright, an arm on her chest and one on her lower back. Jasper moved to the side, still supporting her head, a hand placed at first hesitantly and then confidently on her neck under her chin, and one on the towel on the back of her head. I moved behind to squat behind her head.
Alice had walked around to Jasper and my side of Angie with the water and pills. "Angie, if you could just open your mouth, I will put the pill on your tongue and then pour in water to help you swallow the pill. You will need to take three pills." Alice said soothingly.
Angie silently opened her mouth and Alice set the pill in her mouth and washed it down with some water; and then repeated it twice.
"Alice if you could just stay there, and watch Angie, talk to her, just keep her conscious and here with us. Jasper if you could keep her calm and you can take the towel off now."
Jasper pulled the towel down, to reveal the gash on her head, the blood around it making the towel stick a little.
I grabbed the spray on anti-bacterial and sprayed a bunch all over it, cleaning it. I grabbed a towel and held it under the cut to catch the spray and blood running out. I dabbed the gash to until the area was mostly clean. I proceeded to grab my stitching supplies, and put in five stitches. I sprayed more spray over it, and dabbed it dry around the cut again. I began to wrap gauze in a thick band around her head, and then taped it off once enough was on.
"Ok Angie, I got your head patched up. We are going to lay you back down, and then I am going to splint your broken arm up."
"Ok." She weakly whispered.
After lying the last two towels on the floor, as to not lay her down on the blood. We slowly laid her down onto them.
I rummaged through my bag until I found four long splints. I put one on every side of her arm and then wrapped the whole thing in an elastic bandage.
"Angie, I will now tell you what has happened, in summary. We will tell you in detail and answer all of you questions once you wake back up. Ok?"
"Ok. Thank you." She said weakly in a raspy voice.
"Ok… Well Angie, I have realized there is no reason for us not to tell you the whole truth. We, my family, some others, and now Angela, are vampires. We thirst for human blood, but our family feeds on animals. That is how my family can be around humans, and human blood, like you now. We changed your great-grandma after her heart attack, and it is very painful. That was why she was screaming. We are immortals and are actually all over a century old. I am the oldest at around four-hundred, and Bella, our youngest at one-hundred. We once lived in this town one-hundred years ago, and the kids became close to Angela, especially Bella; that is why we changed her. You remember the stories Angela told about our "ancestors", they were all about us. Angela attacked you because she had just woken up and is very thirsty, and she isn't in control of her thirst just yet." I told her anything important quickly, and I knew we would have to tell her much more later. "Oh, and we obviously have to get you to the hospital. Also obviously, we can't tell them you were attacked by a vampire. So we are going to tell them you fell down the stairs. You won't have to remember much because you are the victim."
"Oh-kay…" Angie's expression was one of shock and her voice was high and breathy, "So you are vampires." She whispered and then the blood loss, meds, pain, and shock from the news, she fell unconscious.
