Disclaimer - I do not own Twilight or any of the characters. (although I would LOVE to own Emmett and Edward. mmm yummy)

Slowly I start to come around and I can hear people's hushed voices near by. Where am I? How did I get here? Internally I sigh at my unwariness. This is something I won't write home to mom about, she'd freak and then insist Charlie take me to the nearest airport to ship me home. I mean come on I'm 20 for petes sake! Alright so the answer to question one is,I have no idea where I am. It feels as if I'm laid out on a thinly padded table. Question two. Well I guess I'll have to think back. I was in one of my classes, right okay. Then we found out we had a substitute - again.. RIGHT! Carlisle was the sub! Okay now were getting somewhere! Woohoo! Go Bella! My mind starts to go about a mile a minute and I note that the voices have stopped. Its gotten eerily quiet in whatever room this is and I begin to feel slightly uncomfortable. With the refusal to open my eyes until I figure out how I got here in mind I begin to think back once more. He stopped class to allow a new student in... Who was the new student....?...?...!... Edward! Oh God. Right. Edwards here and.. what is it with the color green? A visual of green eyes flash over my closed eyelids and with a shocked gasp I open them only to reveal a real pair of green eyes. With a small shriek I try to push myself deeper into the table only to have the pair of green eyes disappear followed by a familiar voice.

"Bella! It's okay, it's just me!" gently he places one of his hands on my knee and the other strokes my cheek.

Anger floods through out my body and I slap his hand again once more.

"It's not alright Edward. What the hell is going on! Where am I? WHY are you here?" I feel like a wild woman and I'm sure it shows on my face, fire burns in my eyes and swiftly swing my legs over the edge of table. He jumps back and nearly knocks over a chair in the process. A pair of strong arms are suddenly around my shoulders and I'm placed back against the wall, still seated on the uncomfortable table. I struggle even though I know its useless but stop once this person speaks.

"Bella. Its me, Carlisle. I need you to calm down okay? We can't afford to have any attention on this room right now." his soothing voice fills my ears and I can feel the anger inch away.

"If I let you go will you promise to let Edward to fill you in on everything?" contemplating this I sigh and slowly nod my head before I realize I'm doing so. "Fine." not once do I bring my gaze to meet Edwards, for fear of either being bombarded with anger or for the fear that I may start to cry. Honestly, I'm not sure which is more likely right now. Slowly and rather hesitantly Carlisle releases his vice like grip on me and chooses to simply rest against the wall directly beside the table. Crossing my arms over my chest I choose to stare at the chair that was nearly knocked over by the now human Edward.

"Alright. Explain." I growl and I can hear him clear his throat and sigh before he begins.
"Its not permanent." Oh with the confusion. First he says that he's human, and now its not permanent? He really needs to get things straight. I open my mouth to say something but Carlisle places his hand on my shoulder silencing me.

"You fainted before I had a chance to finish." Edward reminds me as he comes to stand a couple of feet in front of me, still I keep my gaze from his face and focus on his shoes. They look to be some sort of high end fashion runner. I roll my eyes at Alice's fascination with high end fashion anything. With a bit more excitement he continues "You see Carlisle has been doing research for the past few months and came across something very... interesting in your shape shifter friends blood." My eyes grow wide and I forget why I'm not staring him straight in the face. In one fluid motion I'm on my feet and only inches from his perfect face. "What did you do to Jake" I mean for this to sound a bit more angry but it comes out as a choked gasp. His gaze drops to meet mine, pain and anger riddle his beautiful green eyes, and he takes a slow shaky breath in

"We didn't do anything to the mutt. And I meant Seth, not Jacob." I tense at his term for my wolf friends back in La Push and cross my arms once more over my chest. With a gruff "Continue" I sit back on the table.

"Seth offered Carlisle a vile of his blood for scientific research" he chuckles at some memory "Turns out there's a component in the shape shifters blood that reacts to our own dead tissue. In laments terms it re-animates the cells and organs, rendering vampires a short time to live as a human." The science loving part of my brain gets the better of me and I begin to look at this with a scientific perspective.

"So if that small amount of blood can reanimate the tissues for a short time, then...." my mind begins to catch up with what has been said and suddenly it clicks. This is wrong. They can't possibly think that they will get away with this. I'm sure Alice would have seen something going horribly wrong, someone dieing. Edward dieing. This pains me so much and I physically wince causing myself to pull my arms tighter around my body.

"If a vampire - we'll say Edward in this case - were to drain a shape shifter of all their blood, its assumed that he will become human indefinitely. Its not proven and there definitely will be some side affects...." Carlisles voice trails off as he brings his honey colored gaze to my still hunched over figure.

"You could die" I mumble. After what seems like hours of silent tears I bring my pained gaze up to meet Edwards intense stare.

He merely nods, his eyes lock onto mine but he's put up some internal wall so I can't even guess at what he's feeling or thinking right now.

"Right. Well that's putting it... er.. in very lament terms" Carlisle answers. Both Edward and myself quickly break our locked gaze and face the young looking doctor.

"You see" he clears his throat, not like it will do him any good anyways "There are so many tests that I still have to run Edward. We can't be 100% sure that the blood cells won't attack your organs."

The door quietly opens just as Edwards about to speak, and we all turn our gaze towards a very disgruntled looking police officer.
