CHAPTER 6

The last thing I saw was Emmet holding Mark and the rest of the Cullen's taking turns on taking a swing at him before my vision totally blackened. As I lied there helplessly I felt someone lift me up and start to carry me away from the fight.

"Bella, are you ok" Alice asked. I felt so relieved to be in the presence of one of my bestfriends.

"Y— e— s—" I could barely get the words out. My throat hurt from Mark's tight grasp.

"Bella, just hold on. If you start to lose all consciousness you may go into a coma" I didn't realize that my head hurt so bad. I lifted my hand up to feel my head and as my fingers glided over my forehead I felt a slight dent in my temple. I winced at the pain.

"Where's Edward" it was beginning to hurt to much to speak.

"Him and the others will be along shortly. Their just finishing up with Mark" I wish I could've seen it. Mark's face as he died. I knew it would've been priceless.

I felt myself being let down onto the comfy couch that was in the main room. I laid there, trying to stay conscious. After an hour or so I heard the front door open.

"Bella" I heard Edward scream. I heard his quick footsteps as he came to my side. I felt his cold fingers link with mine.

"Bella, I shouldn't have let you go. I should've had someone go with you. I'm so sorry Bella. This is all my fault. I'm going to lose you because I was stupid" I felt his forehead on my hand. I reached my hand out to touch his face. It took me a minute to find it but when I tried to smile but the pain was just to much.

"Carlisle, is she going to be alright" I heard Jasper ask. He sounded really worried. I couldn't even see anyone and I knew there was a worried tension lingering in the air.

"Well, usually vampires are very fast healers but I've never seen one sustain so much damage. It's unusual" I knew Carlisle didn't know if I was going to be alright. I just wished that I could see Edward's face one last time.

"What are you saying" Edward asked, lifting his head from my hand.

"I'm saying that when Laurent changed her she must have kept some of her human self" at first I was confused but then I slowly lifted my heart to my chest and I felt a slight thump.

"My heart" I said in a low voice.

"How is that possible" Alice asked. She sounded as confused as I felt.

"I'm not entirely sure. Maybe it's because when she was human she found a way to love everyone. She used her heart so much that when she was changed I don't think she was ready to let go" this sounded very logical to me. Edward quickly replaced my hand with his.

"Will she heal" he asked. I knew he was thinking that I might die.

"Yes. I'm pretty sure. Just give her a day. We just need to let her rest. She should be fine by tomorrow afternoon" Carlisle said. The worried tension that was lingering in the air was now replaced by relief.

Edward quickly scooped me up into his arms and carried me to his room. He set me on his couch and laced his fingers with mine.

"Just relax Bella. I'll be right here with you. I won't leave you. I promise" I tried to touch his cheek but I couldn't move my arm.

"I love you Bella" Edward said, kissing my forehead.

"I love you too" and with that I let my body relax and I drifted into a daydream.

I just stayed lost in my daydream for two days. I could feel my body slowly healing itself. Before I knew it I was awake and I felt as alive as ever. (a/n: ironic. She felt alive but she's dead. Haha. As you can tell i'm bored)

As I looked around Edward's room I realized he wasn't there. I looked at my watch and saw that it was 4pm and that it was Tuesday. (a/n: she has one of those watches that tells the date and the whole affair with mark happened on Sunday) I quickly got off of the couch and ran for the door. As I looked down the stairs I saw the Cullen's all standing around the piano. Edward was playing my lullaby. I quietly crept down the stairs. When I reached the landing Edward quickly looked up and stopped playing. Everyone quickly followed his gaze and smiled when they all saw me.

"Bella" Edward said and in one swift movement he was by my side, locking me in an embrace.

Everyone took turns giving me hugs and telling me how much they worried about me. It felt so good to be loved by so many people and to be able to love them all in return. They were my friends and they were my family.

When they had all finished Edward took me back up to his room. We sat on his couch, me in his lap and his arms around my waist.

"Bella, I was so scared that I was going to lose you" his eyes were that dazzling golden color I loved so much.

"Baby, I promised that I'd never leave you" I cupped his face in my hands and I pressed my lips against his.

After about an hour of making out I decided to take a shower. I don't know why, I just wanted to. As I emerged from the shower and looked in the mirror I almost screamed. Instead of my reflection staring back at me I saw Mark.

"What-----what----what is this" I asked myself. Mark was dead. I was sure of it.

"Bella" the reflection said. I did a quick turn to make sure there was no one behind me. I looked back at the mirror and he was smiling.

"You're dead" I said. He just smiled and laughed.

"No. I am alive. I am alive in you and because of that I will be reborn and I will come back for you Bella and I will finish what I started" he laughed for a little while and then he disappeared.
