Okay here is chapter three, its longer I promise. Not wicked long though but I'm trying to improve in the length department. So go, read, review! I don't own Twilight. Just this plot.


Chapter Three

"Edward", Bella uttered again. This time drawing out each syllable. The cry hung in the air. No answer came instead another fiery beam crashed to the earth. Oh my god, he's - dead. Her mind screamed. No! No, he can't be. He cant leave me like this. She told herself over and over again.

But as the minutes stretched by, she no longer believed herself. She sank, sobbing, to the ground. Muttering indistinct cries and both Edward and Charlie's names. Soon after the sirens came.

Two red fire trucks blared onto her front lawn. Your too late Bella thought Your to friggin late.

A moment later a kind faced police officer lead her to a waiting ambulance and handed her in to a paramedic. "Are you injured Miss Swan? Miss Swan are you okay?" the paramedic must have asked a hundred time. Bella never said a word.


Later Bella heard humming through a fog. It was familiar but she couldn't quite place it. She struggled to rip herself from the clutches of sleep, but she was to exhausted. Soon she stopped trying and let the beautiful humming take her away.

What seemed like only minutes later, someone was shaking her shoulder. "Bella" the voice said "Bella, wake up. I have to leave soon."

Her eyes fluttered open and her heart swelled when she looked at Edward's breath taking face. He was completely unharmed except for a smudge of soot across of perfect cheek. In that moment Bella fell even more in love, if that were at all possible.

"Edward" she sighed "your alright." Edward tried to smile back at her but he couldn't quite manage it. "Yes" he told her "Immortals tend to do strange things like survive sometimes."

Bella's face lit up and it tore at his soul. This was not going to be a happy day, and its all my fault, he thought. At that moment Bella noticed his ocher eyes were burning with pain and sadness.

"Oh Bella" he whispered, leaning forward to press his cheek to hers. "I am so very sorry."

Bella looked at him, confused. "Why Edward ?" He stared at her as if willing her to understand.

"Edward, where's Charlie?"

"Bella, Charlie's dead."
