Carlisle handed the bottle to Edward. He twisted open the small cap. He sighed, and looked up at Carlisle as if to say
"Do I have to?"
Carlisle nodded, and Edward poured the contents through Bella's soft, pale, lips, as she began to move.
Bella twitched, as she felt the cold liquid pass through her, but once it got into her veins, it wasn't cold anymore. She squirmed, and fought it. But then she stopped. She recognized this burning feeling. She got it last year, at the dance studio. She looked over at Edward, who was shutting his eyes. She reached over to touch his face.
"Edward,"
she muttered
"I'm here, Bella. I'm here."
he said, holding back tears. She took his hand and squeezed it hard.
"I. Love. You."
"I love you too, Bella. Forever."
Bella rolled over and shut her eyes. The burning was worse now. And then, at once it disappeared. She sighed. She thought it was over, until one, sharp, pain, went through her like a knife. She let out a single shrill, scream, that could probably be heard all around the world. She began to sob. Edward came to her and held her close to him.
"I am so sorry, Bella."
Bella stopped crying.
She looked into Edward's topaz eyes and said
"Don't be."
he looked confused.
"Now we can be together f-f-forever."
"I love you Bella."
"Forever?"
"Forever."
THERE! IT IS DONE. THERE WILL BE A SEQUEL... I SWEAR...
