Hello everyone, I am so so so sorry that I have left you hanging for so long. I am definitely going to continue the story, I have just been so so busy with work and college but I have met all my deadlines and finally have the Christmas holidays so here you go. I give you chapter four! Enjoy!

Scarlett's POV

I felt like I was in a boat, rocking to and fro on a dark lake. My body was numb and the only sensation I could feel was a slight pressure on my ribs. Suddenly, I felt myself fall off of the boat and plummet into the icy water below; everything was black.

I awoke and bolted upright, gasping for air in a panic. I felt a pair of strong arms grasp my shoulders and gently push me back down on the soft pillows. I couldn't focus on anything and all I could hear was a soft, familiar voice.

'Sshh, it's okay Scarlett.' The voice said 'Calm down for me, you're okay'.

Suddenly reality snapped back into place and I remembered what had happened. The voice belonged to Dr Carlisle Cullen. I stopped fighting his grip out of weakness and sunk down into the pillows whilst looking at my surroundings.

I was in a house, not the hospital. The room was immaculate and very well furnished with expensive looking art hanging on the walls and a large bookcase with hundreds of books, some old and some new. The door was closed and I was on a collapsible gurney with wires attached to me again. I wondered why I was not in the hospital and where I actually was. There was a small table on wheels beside me which had some medical equipment on top of it. I glanced nervously to Carlisle. He was looking at me with concern and compassion.

'W...Where am I?' I croaked out, my throat dry and hoarse.

Carlisle stood, tilted my head forward with his hand and held a flask of cool water to my lips.

'Here, drink, this will make you feel a bit better' he soothed.

After I finished drinking, he sat back down in the chair beside my bed.

'You are at my home' He informed me calmly. 'I felt that the hospital was a bit too much for you and since we could find no record of you having any family I got permission to take you into my care.'

I gawped at him.

'I have no family?...'

He looked at me sympathetically.

'No sweetheart, we couldn't even find a record of you. It's like you appeared out of nowhere.' He stated.

Then I realised that it was not Carlisle that was in my world, it was I who was in Carlisle's world. So he never was going to go to the police, he had obviously never heard of anything I had told him. I felt a bit more at ease.

'I...I guess I did appear out of nowhere. I don't even know how I got here...' I said sadly.

Carlisle gave my hand a reassuring pat.

'Don't worry, we will work it out together.' He smiled.

I stayed staring down at the bed sheets sorrowfully.

'Now may I check your injuries? You took a nasty fall while running away from me...' He said with a slightly stern tone while glancing at me admonishingly, before checking my ribs.

I glanced up at him, then looked down feeling like a small child who had just misbehaved.

'I um... I'm sorry.' I stammered feeling embarrassed.

His face softened.

'Might I ask why you ran away?' He asked curiously.

'I thought...' I started but didn't want to continue, I didn't want him to know what I was worried about. I stared down and twiddled my thumbs.

'You thought what?' He asked softly whilst prodding my ribcage.

'Nothing' I mumbled.

He paused what he was doing and looked directly at me.

'Scarlett.' He said with a bit more force.

I sighed.

'I thought you were getting the police.'

He looked momentarily confused then realisation swept over his face...
