Bella POV-

I shot up on the couch and said the one name I remembered "Edward?" He was instantly by my side, one hand on my back and the other intertwined with mine. He crouched down next to the couch and stared up at me. I looked into his deep, black eyes and saw all the pain he kept inside. All the emotions he refused to show. All those thoughts he kept bottled up in his mind so long they began to hurt him even more. This is what scared me the most, the fact that one day, those thought and emotions will break him. Break my Edward.

"Bella, love, are you okay?" Even his voice sounded like suffering. I couldn't stand to see him like this. I knew he blamed himself, he always did. It was never his fault though. He always thought he had failed me, that I would hate him. But there was one thing that would never change between us: the way I felt about him. Even when he left me, I loved him, and a part of me knew our souls would someday meet up again.

"Not that you are here, I am." I smiled in a sad attempt to lighten the mood. "You saved me." He looked away from me and shook his head, his messy hair dropping over his face.

"I was the reason you were kidnapped, Bella. You should hate me." The look of agony on his face killed me right then and there. It was like a bullet was shot straight through my heart.

"Edward, don't blame yourself for Victoria's actions. How were you supposed to know what she was going to do?" He looked back at me. "If anything it was my fault because..." He cut me off.

"Isabella, don't you ever blame yourself for what happened tonight." He lightly grabbed me by my shoulders and pulled me closer to him. "You had no control over her."

"Then you can't blame yourself." I knew he didn't believe me. Edward always thought that if something bad were to happen to me, I would hate him forever and it would be all his fault. Of course this was never the issue because I loved Edward, and nothing could tear us apart. "What Victoria did tonight was no one's fault but her own. And I can guarantee she will be back." I was scared of the thought. The way I was treated, the ropes, the beatings, scared the living hell out of me.

"Bella, love, I will never leave your side until you order me to do so. I promise." The color slowly began to start coming back to his eyes, and this gave me some relief. I needed him to know that I didn't blame him for what those vampires did to me.

"Edward, I love you. And I know if you knew of anyway to keep Victoria from doing what she did, you would've done it." I looked him dead in the eye when I said this. His deep, black eyes were now a light amber, and a smirk came across his face. I loved that smirk.

He began to stand up and reached his hand out to me. I grabbed it immediately, it's cold temperature soothing the cuts that were left there. I glanced at my wrist and saw the marks the roped had left on them.

As I started to get up, a sharp pain was in my head, and my legs collapsed beneath me. Edward was under me in a second, catching me before I hit the floor. The world around me began to go black again, and Edwards face scared me. He was worried.

"Bella, love?" He cried, urgently trying to keep me awake. "Please stay awake for me. Don't close your eyes." I forced myself to keep my drooping eyes from falling. I suddenly saw that everyone was surrounding me, worried about what was happening.

Then everything went black, the world in front of me disappearing into thin air as if nothing had happened. The last thing I heard before going unconscious was the sound on Edward's urgent voice calling to be.

Edward POV-

There she was, motionless in my arms. Her heartbeat slowed to dangerous levels, so slow I was afraid she was going to fall into a comatose state. I just got her back, and I wasn't going to lose her again. I wasn't going to let her die like this, not in pain, not at all.

Everyone else must have heard her fall, because they were all at my side in an instant. Their thoughts were running through my head, and they all thought the same thing, except Allison. Her was different. It had something to do with the fight while I was rescuing Bella. I should've told Edward about what the vampires said.

"What did they say?" I turned around to look her in the eyes, her transformation to vampire was complete, and she was thirsty.

"You heard that?" she looked scared.

"He can hear thoughts, Allison." Scott answered her question for her. "So what were you thinking that made him so worried, he wasn't focused on Bella?"

They poisoned her she thought. They poisoned my Bella.

"With what?" I said through gritted teeth. I turned back to face Bella, and the color was slowly going away from her face, turning it a pale white.

"Those ropes..." Damon said. "They must have been covered in something because look at her wrists and her ankles, they're bright red." Looking back at her wrists, i noticed the red marks that were there. I picked up her body and put her on the couch so I could observe her. I ran my fingers across the marks on her ankles and she began to stir, showing me that she was somewhere in there.

I only had one choice, a choice that I have had to make before: Let her die, or suck whatever was in her blood out. I was about to sin my teeth into her wrist when I got a call from Alice. She knew what was going to happen. I instantly picked up, Alice's high pitched voice came screaming through the phone. "Edward do it now! She doesn't have much time. Her heart will stop beating soon!" I dropped the phone in an instant and grabbed her wrist.

Her blood didn't taste right. It was filled with whatever was going through her blood. And then I sensed it: Wolfs bane. It didn't make sense, Bella wasn't a wolf, and she wasn't allergic. I kept going until it tasted normal, and her eyes slowly opened.

"Edward..." She was completely alert. Her arms were around my neck, and she puled me into a hug. Tears were streaming down her face. Everyone walked out to give us privacy, and when she finally let go, she said something that scared me.

"Change me."
