Hey everyone, here is one of the chapters that I wanted to post since posting Bella's POV of the scene. I hope guys like the Cullens' POV of the car crash scene.
I would like to dedicate this chapter to everyone who has added this story to the favorites list. Thank you so much.
Chapter 6
Edward's POV
Once again I found myself in the tree outside Bella's room. And once again I felt the need to be closer to her. I struggled with myself with staying in the tree. I really only needed to think about how Bella's blood affected me to get me to stay put, but Anna's nightmares were testing my control.
So far they had woken Anna up twice that night, and Bella had already woken up two other times to take care of Cissy. School wasn't going to be fun today for Bella, she was going to be too tired. That, plus the freshly fallen snow on the ground was going to make the day very hard on her.
In seconds my mind had come up with a list of everything that could happen to Bella and the girls, thanks to this weather. I shuddered. Bella was going to need help, and thankfully I wouldn't be the only one who would come to that conclusion. My siblings would definitely come to the same conclusion and Rose or Alice would offer to help; shoot, Emmett most likely would too. Bella would most likely except help though from Angela or Ben, and they would be sure to notice that Bella would need help.
My thoughts were pulled away by Anna. From her thoughts, I knew she was cold. She shifted in her sleep so she was closer to Bella. Being closer to Bella though didn't seem to help. She had gone as far as curling up in a little ball on top of Bella, but she was still cold.
I couldn't just sit there. Holding my breath I climbed into the room. I quickly exited, exploring a new part of the house. I don't know why I thought it was good idea, but I let myself breathe. Her scent was strong, but not nearly as powerful as it was in her room. That didn't change the fact that my muscles tightened, ready to spring into the hunt. That my mouth had filled with venom.
I waited until I had calmed down before continuing.
Beside the top of the stairs, was a cupboard that looked promising. I opened it, finding exactly what I was looking for. I selected the thickest of blankets, knowing I could put it away before anyone noticed it out of place. I hurried back to Bella's room.
Holding my breath, I carefully spread the blanket over the two of them. Neither of them reacted to the added weight.
I was almost out the window when I thought about Cissy. I went back and checked on the baby. After making sure she was fine I headed back to the window, only to stop again.
I'd have to get that blanket back to the linen closet before any of them woke up. I could do that faster if I didn't have to climb through the window. Agreeing with that logic, I sat down in the rocking chair.
To my surprise, a couple hours later I heard an alarm. A few seconds after it had gone off, it was turned off. Why was Charlie getting up so early?
I quickly took the blanket I had added and returned it to the linen closet. I then hurried back to Bella's room and out the window. I didn't know why the chief of police was getting up so early, but I wasn't going to stay and find out.
I rushed home, my thoughts so wrapped up in Bella and the little girls that I ran straight into an ambush.
Alice had seen me coming, and all of my siblings had stopped their war against each other to attack me.
The force of the attack knocked me right off my feet. Before I could defend myself I was pummeled with snowballs. I needed to get out from under their attack if my ability to read their minds was to be of any use to me. Jasper of course already had a plan to keep me from getting away, and we both knew it was going to work thanks to Alice.
I couldn't escape their onslaught, and they knew it. Luckily they didn't know that I was about to have some help.
Three seconds later Carlisle and Esme joined the fight. The two of them made an excellent team, and with surprise on their side, they had been able to take out Jasper first.
Jasper was the best fighter out of our family, but his skills in strategy made him ten times better.
The battle raged on, with my four siblings against Carlisle, Esme, and me, until we all had to get ready for the day.
After changing into dry clothes, Carlisle headed to the hospital, Esme went to some charity she was helping out today, and the rest of us headed to school.
I parked in my usual spot and we all got out to wait for Bella and the girls.
The snow had changed from fun, to a danger hazard in my siblings mind. They were all thinking about how unlikely it was that Bella would be able to walk in it without problems. Besides having snow, all the rain from yesterday had turned to ice, and there was patches of it everywhere. To make it worse there were sections of black ice all over the parking lot.
As I had figured earlier, Rose, Alice and even Emmett where thinking about offering to help Bella today. To my great surprise though, so was Jasper.
We watched as Bella finally drove into view. Her eyes were intent on the road and her hands were tight on the wheel. She seemed anxious. It wasn't too hard to realize what was worrying her. With the road slick with ice, she was taking the added risk seriously.
She parked four cars down from us. Her lack of balance was made apparent as soon as she climbed out of the car. Her feet threatened to slide right out from under her, and it took her a few minutes before she was steady enough to move. She opened Anna's door, leaning heavily against the car as she unbuckled Anna.
When she set Anna on the ground, the little girl instinctively wrapped her arms around Bella's leg, her feet sliding. It was clear from the look on Anna's face that she wasn't used to a lack of balance, and she didn't like it.
Bella closed the door and took hold of her Anna's gloved hand, there wasn't any way she could walk with the little girl clinging to her leg.
Anna tugged on Bella's hand wanting her attention. The two of them almost fell.
"What is it Anna?" Bella asked.
Anna pointed to the back tires and gave Bella a curious look.
We all glanced at the tires while they moved carefully towards the back wheel.
Bella checked her snow chains, tears filled her eyes and the five of us all wondered what could have sparked that kind of reaction. If only I could read her mind.
Anna stiffened beside Bella, but before we could wonder about that, a high pitched screech came to our ears. We all turned to where the sound was coming from.
Tyler Crowley's van was skidding across the lot, tires locked and squealing against the brakes, spinning wildly across the ice.
All the thoughts in the parking lot where about the car and where it was going to end up. It wouldn't have taken any of us long to read the trajectory of the vehicle, but we didn't need to. Before we could make the quick calculations, the parking lot was filled with a voice I had only heard in her nightmares.
"Auntie Bella!" Anna yelled.
The five of us turned towards Bella and Anna. I knew my face was panicked, but I was sure my siblings' were too.
Bella's face twisted in pain and her breath was knocked out of her. She fell against her car, staring her coming death in the face as if she couldn't even see it.
I didn't think, I couldn't, the only thing my brain was acknowledging was 'not her.' I shot towards Bella and Anna, moving too fast for any human eyes to follow; throwing myself between the skidding van and Bella and Anna. I slammed into them, pulling Anna into my arms as I wrapped them around Bella's waist. I was vividly aware of their fragile, breakable bodies as I crashed into the ground with them in my arms.
When Bella's head hit the icy ground, I felt like I had turned to ice. I didn't get a chance to worry about her though. While we might be out of the way of the van, it was still heading for the car, and Cissy was in there.
I turned to glance back at the car, surprised and grateful to see Rose kneeling in front of us, with her hands out stretched. She stopped the van before it could even hit Bella's car. She sat the van down, and all the windows shattered at the same time, glass littered the ground.
Now that I didn't have to worry about the van, I turned all my attention to Bella and Anna. I ignored all the screaming, and I refused to think about what Rose and I had done.
"Bella? Are you alright? Is Anna?"
"I'm okay," Anna's voice came out muffled since she spoke from between Bella and me. I was thrilled to hear Anna's voice from outside her nightmares, but I was still worried about Bella, she hadn't answered me yet. How badly had I hurt her in my impromptu rescue? I couldn't smell any fresh blood, which was a relief, but that didn't rule out internal problems.
"She talked. Anna sweetie you talked." Rose pulled Anna out from between Bella and me and hugged her tightly, forgetting or not caring about the fact Bella and Anna really shouldn't be moved yet.
"Rose," I growled. "They need to stay still."
Rose's face tightened with worry, shocked at what she had done.
Bella tried to get up, but I wasn't going to let her. She really needed to stay still, at least until I found out how much damage I had done. "Be careful, I think you hit your head pretty hard."
"I'm fine." She said, not that I believed her. She had to have hit her head pretty hard, and head wounds shouldn't be taken lightly. She would be getting it checked out soon.
The student body crowded around the cars that surrounded us. They were shouting at each other, shouting at us, most of them wanting to get a view of the gory after math. I heard someone yelling that an ambulance was on the way, while another was trying to organize our rescue. That's when Alice's thoughts filled my mind.
'Jasper and Emmett are helping to move the van, they'll block anyone from getting too close. I saw that too many people around would make it difficult for the paramedics. I've already got the cover story. Don't worry, Bella will stick to it.'
The van was shifted away then, and I saw my brothers.
Alice squeezed through the crowd looking frightened, and upset. With everyone watching her, she threw her arms around Rose then me. "You just had to talk to her before school started." She gave Bella a quick pleading look.
"Are you guys okay?" Emmett asked. He and Jasper successfully kept the rest of the student body from getting any closer to us, just like Alice had planned. 'You got to them before they were hurt right?' he asked silently.
I nodded while Rose answered his original question out loud.
Rose glanced down at Anna before turning to Bella. "Bella hit her head but Anna seems to be okay."
Bella's face flushed red and she tried to get up.
I gently pushed her shoulder down. "Just stay down for now."
"But it's cold," She complained.
I couldn't helping laughing, but I kept it under my breath. Thankfully my siblings were also trying to quiet their laughter. None of us thought her complaint was funny, we were just laughing with relief that she hadn't been crushed to death.
'She was almost crushed by a van and she complains about it being cold.' Emmett thought, making himself laugh more.
'I don't even want to think what might have happened if we hadn't stopped Tyler's van.' Rose
'That idiot shouldn't be allowed to drive, he could have killed all three of them.' Jasper
'If she hadn't of been wearing her ring, I could have seen this.' Alice
We were all pulled out of thoughts when Cissy started crying.
Alice got up off the ground. "I've got her Bella, don't move." She climbed into the car from Anna's side, and climbed out with Cissy.
"I wish the ambulance would get here soon." Emmett spoke out of hearing range of humans.
Rose nodded. "Bella needs to get her head checked. Anna and Cissy can't lose her."
I agreed wholeheartedly with that statement, and I'm sure the rest of my siblings did too.
"I wonder how this new experience has affected Anna." Alice gently bounced Cissy in her arms glancing at Anna who was content sitting in Rose's lap.
Rose sighed, hugging the little girl closer to her.
"Maybe it won't be as bad as we're thinking?" Emmett supplied hopefully.
Jasper shrugged. "We won't know until after the situation calms done. But that isn't our biggest problem. What were you guys thinking, you've exposed us," We all glared at him. The others could tell that he wasn't angry from the tone of his voice, and from his thoughts I knew he was one step behind us. I shook my head at this pointless conversation, none of us would have just sat there, we all would have intervened.
"I couldn't let them get hurt," Rose hissed.
"We'll talk about this later, but we need to know what we're going to do about that dent." Emmett nodded towards the dent that was left by Rose's hand. We would have to fix that up before we left.
The discussion was put to an end when Bella groaned.
"What hurts Bella," The five of us asked worriedly. Couldn't the ambulance get here any faster? Of all the things I had put on my list that could go wrong today, I hadn't thought to add nearly being killed by a van.
Bella started to shake her head, but I stopped her, placing my hands on either side of her head to keep it still. Just like all the other times I had touched her, an electrical current passed through me.
Bella shuddered and I let go. Hadn't she just mentioned being cold. Of course the touch of my cold hands wouldn't be welcomed; I should have worn gloves.
"Stay still Bella," I ordered. Thankfully, she listened to me until the ambulance arrived.
Alice's plan had worked perfectly, and the paramedics were able to get to us since we weren't crowded by students.
Rose and I were able to convince the paramedics that we didn't need a stretcher, with the help of our siblings.
Bella was determined to believe that she was fine, even after hitting her head. When the paramedics put a neck brace on her she blushed a deep red.
They had just gotten Bella in the ambulance when Chief Swan arrived.
"Bella," he yelled as he rushed over to us.
"I'm completely fine Char- Dad," Bella sighed, catching herself from calling her father by his given name. "There's nothing wrong with me."
She gave him a strange look and recognition crossed his face. None of us could figure out what had passed between the two of them, but it seemed important. It was another strange piece to their mystery.
Charlie Swan immediately turned to the nearest EMT for a second opinion, but something in his eyes was off. I tried to get inside of his head. It wasn't as bad as Bella's but I still couldn't really get into his mind. His thoughts were blurred, partially blocked, but I was able to get a basic idea. He was worried about his daughter.
The EMT's tried to close the door to the back of the ambulance, and Anna screamed. Rose and Alice had to climb into the back of the ambulance before Anna would calm down.
The chief headed back to his cruiser only to stop when he stared at Bella's car.
"I'll drive it over," Emmett offered. His thoughts thinking about how he would be the first one to get to drive Bella's awesome car.
The chief nodded thankfully and pulled an extra key out of wallet, tossing it to Emmett. He climbed into his cruiser and led the way to the hospital.
Emmett grabbed hold of my arm and dragged me towards Bella car. I mentally grimaced, sitting in a car that smelt like Bella could be a bad idea. I tossed Jasper my keys and got in the passenger seat. He planned to iron out that dent once no one was looking.
When I got in the car I was hit just as hard as the first time. Venom pooled in my mouth, and my body tensed. I was lucky that Jasper was driving my car, he would have noticed. Emmett was too wrapped up in driving the car, to notice my distress.
By the time we had gotten to the hospital, I had decided that the car ride was a bad idea.
"I'll meet you in there." I didn't wait for Emmett's reply. I turned at the corner of the hospital to make my escape into the forest, I needed to hunt; but I was stopped by the scene of the paramedics wheeling Bella into the building. Alice smiled at me and waved me over to them. I sighed and walked in with her and Rose.
Rosalie's POV
The ride to the hospital was difficult. Being in the ambulance with a bunch of humans wasn't a problem for Alice and me. No, the problem was the little girl in my arms who wouldn't calm down. Her little heart was beating franticly and she was clinging to me. I gently rubbed her back, and hugged her to me. Every once in a while I would get a strange feeling, but before I could wonder what it was, it vanished. I tried to ignore the strange feelings.
Cissy seemed to be doing okay, so that was good. Bella on the other hand was trying to convince the paramedics nothing was wrong with her. Thankfully they were more inclined to listen to Alice and me.
From Bella's face we could tell that she was embarrassed the whole time they were unloading her. Alice waved towards Edward and he joined us as we walk into the hospital.
'Go tell Carlisle what happened, while we stay with Bella.' I thought to him. He nodded and headed towards Carlisle's office.
They put Bella in the emergency room on one of the beds. She was determined to believe that she didn't need the neck brace, but I wasn't going to let her take it off. Not until we knew that it wasn't necessary.
Tyler was brought to the bed beside Bella's. He glanced at Bella anxiously, he looked terrible. Serves him right, he could have killed somebody. He should have been more careful. "Bella, I am so sorry."
"I'm fine Tyler – you look awful. Are you alright?" I could tell Bella was trying to shift the attention away from herself.
She talked with Tyler and a nurse came to care for him. I didn't know about Alice, but just thinking about how he could have killed Bella, made me not want to have any part of him in me. So despite the fact there was fresh blood so close to me, I didn't have any urge to drink.
Alice and I sat in chairs beside Bella's bed, taking care of the girls while listening to Bella's conversation with Tyler.
"I could have killed the two of you."
He could have killed the three of them. I glanced over at Cissy was content in Alice's arms.
"I hit the ice wrong. I'm so sorry." He winced slightly as the nurse dabbed something on his wounds. Again I felt like he deserved it. What had possessed him to drive that fast into the parking lot? He really should have been more careful.
"Don't worry about it Tyler, we're all okay, well mostly." Bella was being too nice.
"How did the two of you get out of the way?"
It was time to insert myself into this conversation. I sniffed indignantly. "Edward and I were standing right by them Tyler." I couldn't help the low hiss that escaped. He wouldn't have been able to hear it though.
Tyler glanced at me, blinking. I was used to this kind of reaction from men. "I'm so sorry, I guess I didn't see you. Are you alright?" He finally managed to spit out.
I stuck my nose in the air. "Fine."
A nurse came a little while later. We didn't get a chance to warn her before Anna screamed. Anna wasn't going to let Bella out of her sight, and the tears that ran down her face were enough to convince the nurse to let us come with her.
The nurse did the required tests as quickly as she could, worried about how Anna would react.
I was surprised to see that nothing was wrong with Bella, she didn't even have a concussion. That didn't make any sense at all, I had seen her head make contact with the pavement. And what I had seen looked painful.
I shook my head and settled in to wait for Carlisle, maybe he could explain what was going on.
I couldn't help smiling when the nurse took the neck brace off for Bella. She was so thankful to have it off. The poor girl didn't like attention.
My smile widened when Carlisle and Edward finally joined us.
Carlisle smiled at us before turning his attention to Bella. "So, Miss Swan, how you feeling?"
"I'm fine," Which technically was true. How it was true we didn't know.
Carlisle turned the lightboard on the wall on. "Does your head hurt? Edward said you hit it pretty hard."
Bella shot a glare at Edward and repeated that she was fine.
Carlisle checked her head carefully. "She doesn't have any bumps on her head. She should be fine." He told us quietly, so none of the humans would hear us.
He raised his voice back to a normal level. "Well, your father is in the waiting room, I see no reason why you can't go home; but come back if you feel dizzy or if you have any trouble with your eyesight."
Bella didn't argue, and I didn't blame her. After what happened, she really shouldn't go back to school.
She swung her legs off the bed and hopped down moving too quickly. Carlisle caught her easily, waiting until she was steady before letting go of her.
Bella tried to take Cissy but Alice didn't hand her over, and there was no way I was going to let her carry Anna. Despite the fact that Bella was fine, she really shouldn't push herself, she could still go into shock any minute now; and I wasn't going to take any chances.
Alice led the way and Edward followed after us.
To our surprise Alice turned down a hallway, leading away from the waiting room.
"Where are we going?" Bella asked demandingly.
Alice grinned at her. "We need to talk with you Bella."
I wasn't sure exactly what Alice was doing. She probably wanted to talk to Bella about the story she had set up. I had a feeling Bella would stick to it, I mean what was the other option. If she told someone what she had seen they would lock her up, and the girls needed her. She wouldn't risk it.
We walked into Carlisle's office where Emmett and Jasper were waiting for us.
Alice quite happily handed Cissy over to Emmett, and planted her hands on her hips, turning to Bella. "Let's just go ahead and make this quick Bella. I know you know what we are?"
Bella's eyes widened in surprise, but she couldn't have been as shocked as the rest of us were. Bella knows? How?
Alice laughed. "I can see the future Bella? And I can see your future, as long as you aren't wearing your ring." She glared at Bella's ring.
Bella glanced at it too so we all turned to it.
"So that's what's been blocking your guys' powers," Emmett said understanding coming to him immediately.
I rolled my eyes. "Come on Emmett, the rest of us figured it out yesterday when we saw her put her ring on, and Alice couldn't see her anymore."
"That's not all it blocks." Anna said, bouncing slightly in my arms.
Bella glared at Anna. "Anna," she warned.
Alice's grin widened. "We already know that it's concealing the smell of your blood. Come on Bella, you know our secret, you can trust us with yours."
Bella refused to meet any of our gazes.
The pieces of the puzzle were getting stranger, and yet some things were starting to make a little since, especially since we now knew she really was hiding something. "We won't tell anyone. You can trust us." I told her sincerely.
"Just leave it alone."
Alice let her arms fall to her side, relaxing her stance. "Bella, I've seen you when you had your ring off, and I know for a fact you won't expose us. Trust us to keep your secret."
When she didn't say anything, Emmett crossed his arms over his chest and spoke. "It's not like we're going to hurt you."
"Just forget about it. Or pretend to, since you can't forget." Her voice broke on the last word. She apparently couldn't forget either.
The door of the office opened and we were surprised to see Bella's dad.
Charlie Swan glanced at the five of us before turning to his daughter. "We need to be heading home, Bells, you need to rest."
Alice turned to Charlie, her eyes pleading. "Chief, you have known us for two years now, you know we're trust worthy. We wouldn't do anything to harm you or your family. I know you know about us too."
How long had she known that the chief of police knew that vampires lived in his town? And when was she going to tell us.
Charlie glanced at Bella, his look thoughtful. He turned to Alice but she decided to turn her attention to Bella again. "Bella,"
Bella stopped her. "Just let it go."
"We're not going to." Alice planted her hands on her fists.
"In that case," Bella paused dragging in a deep breath, "I hope you enjoy disappointment."
Alice's eyes narrowed. "This isn't over."
Charlie took Cissy from Emmett. "Thanks for driving Bella's car over," His words thanked him kindly, but we knew he was putting an end to the conversation.
Emmett nodded.
I set Anna down and went to the desk. Grabbing a post it note, I wrote my phone number down. I handed it to Bella before she could leave. "Whenever you're ready to talk, call me."
Bella glanced down at the phone number and I knew I wouldn't be getting a call any time soon.
We watched them leave. When the door opened again, Carlisle found the five us all lost in our thoughts. I didn't have to be Edward to know we were all thinking about Bella and what her secret could possibly be, and why she wouldn't tell us.
