Bella

"You don't have to die today. I swear that if you die today, my soul will go to the Nine Fires. All you have to do is do exactly as I say." I hadn't wanted to die.

"Rune is holding my brother hostage. At least, he might be. You won't die. You'll just be very close. You'll just have a headache afterwards." I had agreed. I couldn't do anything else.

When most of the pack, and all of the Cullens but Rosalie and Esme had shown up, I had second thoughts. Edward had tried to kill himself when he thought I was dead, what would he do this time? Would they let Ellie explain?

"Don't worry about me. It'll take more than that to kill me." I hadn't believe her.

Then she had jerked her arm, and I didn't feel anything. I hadn't felt anything. Then something slammed into my chest.

My senses all woke up at once. My lungs tried to suck air in, my nose felt like it was on fire. It sounded like someone was screaming, and my eyes wouldn't open. My entire body hurt.

Then everything stopped but the screaming. My head hurt, but nothing else. I sat up. I was dizzy, and almost collapsed again.

"Bella? Are you okay?"
