Sadly, i do not own Twilight, nor the characters. But it would be nice to!
Last chapter…
I felt myself being thrust up by two strong hands on my shoulders and in a second my face was level with his. There was a menacing look in his once beautiful topaz eyes. One last tear fell from my eyes.
"I love you, Edward, forever." I whispered as I felt his fangs against my skin. Right then I heard the front door fly open but it was too late; Edward sank his fangs into my skin.
Chapter Two
Bella's POV
As his teeth pierced my skin I heard the cry that escaped from my throat. It was hallow and filled with pain. It scared me more than Edward.
"EDWARD! DROP HER NOW!" I felt the house tremble in the wake of Carlisle. I could see just out of the corner of my eye Carlisle followed by Esme, who's eyes flickered to that coal black color but then back to the topaz I had grown to love. Carlisle had gone to get Esme! Maybe I did have a chance to live.
"Bella!" It was Esme that had appeared at my side in less than a second. I felt my body sway back and forth as Esme tried to snatch me away from Edward while Carlisle broke Edward's steely hold on me. I felt myself being lifted into the arms of Esme and then the gentle motion as she ran away from Edward. Why had Edward released me so easily?
My sight had grown dim and the world seemed to be spinning.
I looked over her shoulder and into the eyes of Edward. They had turned back to topaz as he stared at Carlisle who was holding him against himself. They were talking to each other at vampiric speed. I could see sadness in my angel's eyes. Edward collapsed on the floor in broken tearless sobs. As Edward collapsed Carlisle released his grip on Edward and turn his attention to Alice and Jasper. He was pushing Alice and Jasper back as their eyes also turned back to topaz. Alice's eyes were filled with horror, matching Jasper's.
"It will be alright Bella, stay with me hun." Esme whispered. My eyes became heavy. I saw the world one last time; brightness came over me.
"Tell him...that…I…always love…him" I mumbled as the brightness was overcome by darkness.
Edward's POV
I heard Esme's plea for Bella stay with her. My head shot up to see what was happening. Bella muttered some words that even I couldn't hear. Then her head fell back. As Esme ran out of the room.
I went to go to her side but was forced back down by Carlisle's hand.
"No. You have to feed now." He said between clenched teeth.
"I can't leave her! Not in her condition! I…I…I might have…" I began to sob again. "Why, I had more control! What happened!"
"They tricked us." I had no idea what Carlisle was talking about.
"What?"
"They said that they feed only on animals. That is true but they manipulate other vampires to hurt humans; William said he had some power of blood lust that we crave, he could control it. He promised me that he only used it to help vampires' thirst be almost none existent I think that he used it for the opposite. My guess is that you still had control over your lust for Bella's blood until William used his power over you to manipulate your lust to exceed your control." Carlisle looked sadden. "That's why Aliced screamed your name, as soon as she saw Bella get that paper cut she also saw William using his powers over you."
"Where is Magurate? Where is Lexington? Where is William!" I rumbled.
They had ran out after Esme and I opened the door. This is all my fault. He thought.
"No, it isn't, if it is anybody's fault it is mine"
I trusted him too easily.
"No."
But I had let him into our home and…
"Carlisle it is not your fault, quite contrary! It is my fault but right now we should tend to Bella." I began to walk in the direction of Esme's voice.
"Edward…it wasn't your fault nor mine. Something had occured to me as I ran to get Esme; as vampires we are predisposed to be awful, to do awful things. We have fought that disposition long and hard, but everyone slips up at one time or another. Remember that." I turned around to face him. "Bella will love you still." He smiled at me and suddenly I was filled with hope.
"Jasper, not now, do not fill me with fake emotions." I glared at him.
"Sorry."
You need to go to her, Edward. Something is happening there's a complication with her body and the venom. You need to go, now! Alice was staring off into the nothingness of the wall.
I ran to where I knew Esme would have taken Bella:I ran to the Meadow.
It took me only a few minutes to reach the Meadow.
I walked into the clearing and saw Bella's body shaking terribly as Esme hunched over bodytrying to keep her from trashing around. She looked up at me.
"Edward, something's wrong, this has only happened in history once before but I think that…that…well…she…" Esme said.
"Please just tell me now!" I pleaded.
She took a deep breath as if preparing herself for some atrocity that she was about to commit.
"Okie."
As her last thought whispered across my mind I staggered back. That couldn't be true it had only happened once that it was said to never happen again...
sorry to leave you with a cliffy. i'll post the next chapter as soon as i can! promise.
