Chapter 6
"Edward" Bella whispered to Edward, unable to raise her voice. She was back in bed. The feeling of weakness was back, but worse than before. Edward looked at her.
"Yes?" He said softly but with concerned eyes.
"Please call Carlisle for me" She whispered. Her breath was getting heavy to take, and she felt very dizzy. Edward's anxiety was clear now. He quickly ran out of the room to call him. Alice came in looking serious. She sat beside Bella on the bed.
"What's wrong?" Bella whispered. Alice looked at her and smiled.
"Nothing, just rest till Carlisle comes" Alice told her with a smile, but Bella could sense that there was something really wrong. Minutes later Edward entered with Carlisle.
"What's wrong Bella?" Carlisle asked with an anxious voice.
"I'm having trouble with my breathing" She whispered with effort. Carlisle pulled his eyebrows together.
"Having trouble breathing? How exactly?" Carlisle asked.
"My breathing is heavier. I feel that…" She looked at Edward and met his concerned eyes, "I'm tired of breathing. I do a lot of effort to take one breath." She said quietly, she noticed that Edward's unreadable expression changed to a pained one. Carlisle leaned forward, his head close to Bella's chest. He started to hear her heart beats. He stood back up looking concerned.
"Your heart beats are slower than usual." Carlisle looked worried, but Bella thought that the worry that was on his face was a little more than needed, "You need to rest. Don't try to stress your nerves. I'll go look up something in my office and I'll be back." He gave Edward a serious look and got out of the room. Edward came and sat beside Bella. Edward held her hand and at his touch the breathing became easier. Bella was shocked.
"What is it?" Edward asked looking confused.
"Leave my hand" Bella said her voice returned. Edward looked sad at first but when he saw that she wasn't mad at him or anything he left it and once he did the hard breathing returned.
"Hold it again" She whispered, Edward looked puzzled at her wired requests. She smiled when he held it and started to breath easily.
"Are you ok?" She knew he was asking at her mental state not her physical. She smiled at him.
"When you held my hand the breathing got easier but when you left it the breathing was hard again" She explained, "I guess I need you more than I know" She smiled at him, he smiled back but this time there was no pain in his eyes. He was very happy that he could help her in anyway.
"Well then.." He said happily putting one arm around her, and her head rested on his shoulder, "I guess this will ease everything" and He was right, there was no feeling of weakness at all.
"I'm feeling great, it's like I've never been sick. What did you do?" Bella asked smiling widely. Edward shrugged.
"I didn't do anything" Edward said, she could almost hear his smirk, "but I'm glad". Alice smiled at how happy they both looked. Carlisle came running back in. Edward stiffened.
"Bella" Carlisle called with urgent voice, "When Edward touches you, do you feel better?" He looked like he was hoping for a 'no', but unfortunately,
"Yes" Bella said looking worried. Carlisle looked afraid.
"Oh no" Carlisle said closing his eyes. Edward growled beside Bella.
"Are you sure of that?" Edward shouted at Carlisle.
"Sure of what?" Bella asked nervously. Carlisle opened his eyes and looked at her.
"That someone is making you sick." Carlisle said calmly. Bella looked confused. She looked at Alice , she had her eyebrows pulled together and a serious mask on her face.
"How come?" Bella asked when no one explained more. Edward looked at her.
"There are ancient spells, that people use to make others weak. Weak vampires used to use these spells to make their prey weak so that they could attack easily." Edward said furiously. He tried to control himself but he failed.
"And you think someone's doing that to me?" Bella asked started to get a bit frightened.
"You have the same symptoms" Carlisle said calmly, but his eyes were full of anger. Bella remembered something.
"But I got better when Edward touched me today. It wasn't from the beginning. I mean I should've felt better from the first time Edward held my hand" Bella said with a little hope.
"This spell's weakness is the touch of love when needed." Carlisle told her, Bella looked confused. Carlisle tried to explain.
"When that someone made this spell, he made it to weaken your body, this level of the spell doesn't have any weakness but he or she concentrated the spell, and that took the spell to the next level and that involves the breathing part, this level's weakness is true love's touch. That's why whenever Edward touches you, you feel better." Carlisle said looking from Edward to Bella.
"Wait a second" Bella said thinking through what she just heard, "Is there a third level in this spell?" she asked terrified from the answer. Edward looked at her.
"Yes" Edward said quietly, "Death" Once he said it he embraced her. Edward hugged her like he'd never hugged her before. Bella started to cry, not from fear for herself, but from fear of leaving Edward forever.
"I'll never let that happen, do you hear me? Never" He told her in her ear, still hugging her.
"I know, I know" She whispered. After a while Edward released her, but left one arm around her so that she won't get tired again.
"Edward" Alice called Edward quietly. Edward looked at her, Alice didn't talk she just looked at him. He was reading her mind. Edward looked appalled. He turned, if possible, paler than he already is. Before Bella could ask what happened she heard her mobile ring. She took it, it was Jacob. She didn't want to answer, and she felt Edward stiffen beside her. Edward motioned answer.
"Hello" She said quietly, "Before you say anything Jacob. I don't want to hear any of all the none…"
"Bella listen to me" Jacob shouted to her his voice was scared, "you're in grave danger…" Bella was furious.
"I'm not, I don't want to he…"
"I didn't call Bella" He shouted, Bella fell silent.
"What?" She whispered weakly. She felt Edward's gaze on he face.
"I didn't call you before now. Some crazy guy kidnapped me and was pretending to be me all the time. I just got away." He said breathing hard.
"What guy? Who?" She asked weakly.
"I think his name was James" He said slowly trying to remember.
"What?" Bella gasped clapping her hand on her mouth. She looked at Edward terrified, he looked at her in confusion and sadness in his eyes, he thought that Jacob was talking about another attack.
"Be careful Bella, he's been trying to get to you and Edward. I have to go now, or he might find me." Jacob said quickly.
"Ok" Bella gulped, "Thank you, Jacob"
"One thing, it might sound crazy but…" Jacob hesitated before he said, "I heard him talking to himself saying that he'll get to your blood no matter what, and he'll get his revenge from Edward" Jacob said before he hung up. Bella was silent, she struggled to find her voice.
"I'm scared Edward" She whispered looking at him. His mask of pain was increasing.
"Of me?" He hesitated.
"No, Jacob didn't say anything about you." Bella said quietly, she was trying to grasp what she heard to be able to tell him. Edward felt relieved but asked concerned,
"Then what did he say?"
