Total fail again on posting when I normally do. Sorry. I've been out of it the last couple of days and with finals week kicking my ass, I've been practically worthless. But the beagle is doing much better, thankfully. He's not mine and I'm not too fond of him, but my boys love him and for that reason I don't want anything to happen to him. For my readers of The Presidential Treatment, I'm working on an update right now, I promise. Things are just busy this week but I will get an update up soon!
Ok, preciousfairymom80, my beta supreme burrito, hope you're ready for a road trip to Oz and back with my little screech owl! See you in a week!
I only own the plot.
Hear Me Chapter 52
"Eleazar, what do you think about Bella's shield? How do you think it works?" Edward asked in a low tone so there was no chance that Charlie would hear them speaking. "Jasper could sense her emotions when I was able to hear her, but could barely feel them when I was shut out. And how was it that I couldn't hear any of you?"
"It's hard to say exactly how it works, but it might be that she's going through periods of alertness and unconsciousness while she's held captive in her condition. But, I think that the key to getting her to wake up is to find a way for her to get past her own shield. Something's blocking her from escaping, keeping her in the coma. But, Edward, you need to be careful to not get caught in there with her. I'm not sure if there would be any ramifications, any potential danger, but a vampire caught unaware like you were could be a lethal thing. If you cannot control her shield engulfing you then you need to have someone here with you at all times to make sure you can be pulled out if necessary. I'm not sure what would happen if you were still connected when her shield fully went back up," Eleazar explained and Carlisle nodded.
"But I've already been connected to her when her shield went back up and I watched her fade away, the access to her mind closing with her shield going back up. Nothing happened to me then," Edward said.
"But you could still hear us when you were connected to her that time," Carlisle countered.
"It would be best for you to have someone near every time you connect with her just to make sure nothing happens to you. If you don't mind, I'd like to be present the next time it happens," Eleazar added in and Edward sighed and nodded.
He didn't like the idea of anyone being near him and Bella when they did connect as he felt that was an intimate moment for them even if the only communication was going on in her mind. But, he did understand the risks associated with what was happening. He hadn't ever tried to focus on one person's mind so much and often like he was with Bella and didn't know if that would cause any problems. Edward did know that vampire's powers were known to increase and develop over time and use, but it seemed as if his were possibly waning since he began connecting with Bella. Or, was it that Eleazar was right and her shield blocked him too? Edward was unsure but he did know one thing, he was bound and determined to find a way for her to get past whatever was blocking her and keeping her from waking up, and to do that, he had to know where she kept disappearing to.
Little more info there, and there's still more to come. I promise that we will get there and that this will have an HEA. As I said before, this is a slow burn type of story, so if you choose to walk away because it's taking a while to get to the end, I understand. I just hope I see you once it's finished because I hate to lose anyone. Love ya all!
