Chapter Eight: Carlisle Enters, the Doctor is in!

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need

Edward got up and opened his door. Alice simply shook her head. "Where do you think you're going?" he glared slightly getting irritated with the stupid questions.

"What like you don't know?" he shut his door and ran to where Mira was last. That one last thought he had heard, as if she had been calling out to him for help. For some reason he was having trouble hearing her thoughts, but at least he heard that single one…he shook his head and tried to think quickly yet calmly. Think Edward…where could she be going?

"Josh put me down please." Mira groaned feeling like she was about to puke all over him. He set her down and leaned her against a wall.

He chuckled. "I suppose finishing up that bet right now would be a bad idea?"

Mira shook her head. "I'm fine, go ahead. I don't feel as bad anymore."

He broke out into a grin. "Perfect." Josh grasped her by the throat and pushed her up and against the wall even more. "Unfortunately for you, you won't be able to hear why your precious little Edward Cullen is so dangerous."

"What….are you…..doing?" Mira choked out from beneath his grip, the pressure he was using making her feel as if her neck would snap at any minute.

"Getting…" he chuckled darkly. "A kiss." he hissed in her ear.

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Edward started scanning the minds of the people around him searching for where she could have gone. Soon he didn't have to; he could smell the scent of another vampire near and hurried towards the smell. Oh god…please don't…anything but that…

Josh brushed his lips over her neck, intoxicating himself with the smell that was coming from her. "You really DO smell delicious. I'm sure you taste even better." Hot breath left her shivering and choking in his grasp. "Edward Cullen is just like me. He only wants you…" he chuckled. "For your blood." Mira seemed to struggle even more at the sound of those words. He chuckled thinking she was afraid yet blinked when she answered with a rather interesting response.

"That's not….true. Edward…couldn't hurt someone he loves." Mira choked out closing her eyes desperate for breath.

Josh laughed. "And you think a monster such as him can love? Oh what a shame… what a shame." He said the last three words staccato like. Josh opened his mouth, brought it to her neck and bit down.

Edward heard a feminine cry of pain. NO! A voice shouted in his head as he ran towards the voice he knew could only belong to Mira. He stopped short when he saw Josh with his face buried in her neck and Mira behind held up by the throat almost out of air and losing consciousness. Edward would have killed Josh on the spot if…that hadn't have happened. The next thing anyone knew Josh was shoved away six feet by some unseen force falling onto his back. He looked just about as shocked as Edward did. Mira fell to her feet on shaky legs and stood up straight glaring at Josh and bringing a hand in line with his throat from six feet away. You could see something clasp around his neck as he coughed and choked clawing at his neck to release himself from something that wasn't even there. Mira brought her hand up and Josh slowly was brought up as well. There seemed to be another big push from something because Josh was sent back a good ten feet before Mira dropped her arms and fell to her knees grasping at her neck. Edward stared in astonishment before running over to her. "MIRA! Are you alright?!" he asked worried.

She staggered up to her feet and stumbled away from Edward. "S-Stay away from me…" she said quietly, almost falling over again. Obviously something of what Josh said had gotten to her or she was just too afraid to know who to trust at the moment.

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

"Mira…please you're hurt let me help…" Edward said taking a step towards her.

Mira took a few steps back and tripped, and landed on her butt before getting back up. "Just stay away from me." she said with more confidence before running off.

"Mira!" Edward shouted about to run after her until he heard a chuckle. Edward turned to look at Josh who was now walking towards him.

"Oh she won't trust you anymore Edward. I let the poor thing know how much she REALLY meant to you. A little lamb is merely a snack for a lion." Josh chuckled wiping some blood from his chin and licking it off her fingers. "She really does taste wonderful. Not quite sure, but perhaps it is something to do with her genetics." he broke out into a grin. "You're not going to be able to stop me from getting to her Edward. I WILL drink from her until there is not a drop of blood left in that girl."

Edward growled and ran at Josh. "YOU BASTARD!"

Mira ran along the school grounds until she fell to her knees. She crawled to some bushes with aching muscles and feeling like someone had just kicked her in the stomach repeatedly. She leaned up over the bushes and emptied the contents of her stomach. Feeling completely wasted and bruised all over, aching and sweating Mira tried to rise to her feet. She couldn't quite make it through all her shaking and fell to her knees her arms quivering to hold herself up. Her brain was starting to cloud and she felt dizzy. She felt comforting hands on her shoulders as her vision started to fade. "Edward?" she asked.

"It's alright Mira." she could hear someone bend down next to her. "I'm here." The next thing she knew she was against something hard and smooth which she guessed was Edward's chest.

"Did you…?" she asked not finishing the sentence and closing her eyes considering her vision had faded to black anyways.

"Mira? Mira…are you in pain?" he asked sternly shaking her slightly.

"Feels like…fire…" she said with a small smile leaning against him her hearing fading as well.

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me

Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like fire in my blood

"Edward just go home…" Mira could hear voices around her but just barely. It was still dark and her head was throbbing in pain. Then along with the voices she could hear the sounds of a heart monitor beeping beside her. She never thought her own heartbeat could be so annoying. She smiled slightly as the heart monitor started to get quicker, laughing at the fact that she could make her heart race faster when annoyed. Along with the stupid beeping she heard more than one pair of footsteps rushing over to the monitor. Mira opened one eye with a chuckle. "Don't bother…the beeping is just bugging me…" she tried to sit up but was pushed back down by a gentle hand. She looked up to see a young doctor looking back at her.

"You should rest." he said in a soft voice.

"I've had enough resting." Mira sat up stubbornly and rubbed her neck. "I was hoping to avoid a trip to the doctors." she chuckled.

The other pair of footsteps apparently belonged to Edward who was now sitting at the foot of her bed. "How are you feeling?" he asked slightly worried that she wouldn't want him around.

Mira smiled. "Fine actually, I would feel better if these things were off of me…" she was talking about the cords to monitor her heart rate and the stupid annoying IV in her arm.

"I'm sorry but you can't quite take those off. We need to make sure you're okay." the doctor said with a smile.

Mira lay back with a huff. "I'm fine honest. I was just sick from running before."

Edward frowned. "Mira that's not why I took you in…you passed out after…" he shut up as soon as he saw her look then he countered it with an annoyed look of his own. "Oh come on don't be like that you know you were in trouble just admit it."

Mira's heart monitor went up again as she opened her mouth to say something. The doctor made a motion of silence.

"Stress is not a good thing right now." he took Edward gently by the arm and led him outside to talk to him. "Look Edward I know you're worried…but Mira is fine."

"But I saw him…he BIT her Carlisle…"

Carlisle seemed slightly frustrated. "I KNOW Edward. Just trust me she is fine. She's not turning into a vampire and unless she's dying and bitten I doubt she ever will."

"But…how is that possible?" he asked confused. It wasn't possible for a human to live through that was it?

"Edward…there is something you need to know about Mira." he sighed and rubbed his face. "And something you need to know about me…"
