Chapter Three
Last time in Alice's Closet, Mike lied to Bella telling her he was her boyfriend, and worse Edward Cullen caused Bella to lose her memory! Will Bella be in Mike's hands forever, or will a certain werewolf help her retain her memories? Meanwhile Edward and Alice are driving to the hospital to find Carlisle! Lets check in on them, shall we?

P.S Yes I do hate Mike with the white hot intensity of a thousand sons :)
Edward's POV:
My hands gripped the wheel to Alice's car with such intensity that my hands would be forever embedded into her steering wheel. But I didn't care.
"God Edward, take a chill pill!" Alice remarked.
Huh?
"A chill pill? What does that even mean?"
She shrugged.
"Nothing. I guess I've been spending too much time watching the Real World on MTV."
"By the way Alice, where did you even get that statue?"
She laughed.
"It was a 29th anniversary present, Jasper hired some Italian sculptor to make it. I had to pose like that for a very long time. Some anniversary."
"Oh."
She put her hand on my shoulder.
"Don't worry Edward, she'll be fine." I didn't respond.
Alice's POV:
God Edward was sooo messed up over this! I mean, she just got knocked out for a little bit, it's not going to have any long lasting effects. And why does she matter so much to Edward anyways?
I froze.
Oh nooooo! I'm sounding like Jessica! Must...fight...Jessicaness!
Edward chuckled. Good, at least he feels better. At least he isn't dry sobbing.
My memory flashed to him, curled up on the floor at the house.
Edward scowled in response.
Stupid mind reading brother. A LITTLE PRIVACY, PLEASE!
We finally got to the hospital and Edward shot through the doors like a bat out of hell, he was almost at vampire speed!
"Edward! Wait up!"
I hobbled across the parking lot, at turtle slow speed. Human speed. Joy. How rude! He could have waited for me!
When I finally got into the hospital, he was arguing politely with the nurse.
"Excuse me, but I don't care if Dr. Carlisle is performing a foot operation, I need to see him immediately."
The nurse retorted, rather impolitely
"Well excuse me my ass! I dunno why you think you're all that, hotshot! This isn't the Queen of Sheba we're talkin' about here! You have to wait like everybody else!"
"I need...to see him." Edward said, resisting to the urge to snap her neck.
I sighed.
"Please? My brother and I need to see Dad right away." I flashed a smile, dazzling her immediately.
"Oh my goodness! You're Dr. Cullen's children? Excuse me, Nancy! Send them to Carlisle's office immediately! Hurry, quickly!"
She smiled at us, mimicking my smile.
"I apologize for the inconvenience, I hope that you don't report this...incident to Dr. Cullen." She said, nervous.
"Oh we will." I added.
As we left the lobby Edward whispered,
"How did you know?"
"Decades of experience, my brother. And you, on the other hand, put mind readers to shame."
We stopped talking immediately. My sister was at stake. Well sorta she's not exactly in mortal danger. Why does our entire family have to be at stake for one human?
NOOOOO! Why am I thinking this!!
Note to self: Kill Jessica
Bella's POV:
"Mike! Stop kissing me!"
I know Mike is my boyfriend, but when he kissed me it just didn't feel right. And plus he kept trying to shove his tongue down my throat. Why would I date such a terrible kisser?
"But baby you know you want it." Mike whined, and smashed his lips into my face again.
"I need time to think."
"Think about what?" He asked quizzically. "We're in love. I saved you from a deranged lunatic. And now we make out."
Was he serious??
"Mike get off of me!"
I pushed him away and ran, I don't know where I'm going but as long as I was away from him, I don't care!
"Bell..I mean Izzy baby come back! You know I didn't mean it!" He pleaded. But by then I was far away from him.
I was in the forest now, still running. Why would I date him? And who was this Edward character and how did Mike know he was the cause of my amnesia? I felt as if I should know him but...
Argh! This is too confusing!
I sat down on a rock and put my head in my hands.
Come on Izzy, you can do this. Its okay.
But in truth it wasn't okay. I didn't know anything! And supposedly I was dating an absolute imbecile! What kind of a person was Izzy anyways? I feel like I don't know her enough to call her "me" yet. I'm still nobody.
The wind blew against my neck. I sighed, relaxed. It felt good to have the world taken off my shoulders for a little bit.
Suddenly I saw a shape dart through the woods, crunching leaves. I barely saw it, the thing flew by so fast.
"Hello?" I whispered.
And before I knew it, a gigantic mass of red and brown fur jumped on top of me and started licking my face, throwing me to the ground. I screamed.
Jacob's POV
Today was a bo-ring day. Sam had me running around the forest "guarding" even though this neck of the woods was far away from La Push. In truth, I think he just wanted to get rid of me. Bella wasn't home, Quil was with Claire, and even Embry was busy. He was having a tooth removed.
So basically I was just running around the woods trying to block out Leah's annoying chatter in my head.
Neh neh neh neh neh, you can't stop me!
SCREW YOU!
Nah nah nah nah nah YOU GOT THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS! CHILLIN' OUT TAKE IT SLOW, THEN YOU ROCK OUT THE SHOW!
You see what I have to deal with every day? AND I HATE HANNAH MONTANA!
Luckily distraction has arrived. Bella was in the woods, sitting, all by herself. Normally, this would be strange behavior but if you looked "strange" up in the dictionary, you would see Bella's face. She's getting married to a vampire for crying out loud!
The entire pack groaned.
Jacob I told you to not think about that!
Ugh, please don't start whining again, Jacob. I'm begging you.
NOBODY'S PERFECT! I GOTTA WORK IT!
SHUT UP!About five of us said at once.
I grinned and decided to have a little fun with Bella. It wasn't often that I got to surprise her in wolf form. This should be fun.
I jumped on her, and she was knocked to the ground in shock. I licked her face, knowing full well she would probablly kill me for this later, but I might as well take any chance to "kiss" her while she's human.
Then she started screaming.
Why was she screaming? She's seen me in werewolf form before. I expected she would've swatted my face or something.
"Get off of me!"
I scrambled off of her, and she just stared at me, her eyes wide in horror.
Something was seriously wrong. It was a good thing my pants were behind a nearby tree. I phased back into a human, and ran back to where I saw her. She was still there.
"Bells, its me." "I, I, I...but...you...wha...wha...wha" She stuttered.
"Geez Bella its not like you haven't seen a werewolf before, right?" I joked.
"Werewolf?" She whispered, and then she feinted.
Carlisle's POV:
Aah you gotta love the smell of disinfectant in the morning. Its strangely relaxing. I guess I love my work too much. And due to the fact that I am living with an entirely insane family for the rest of eternity, I learned to embrace normal. I had enough of unpredictable in my forever.
What was I doing now, you ask? Currently I was working on Mrs. Layne Petterson, who had a gland in her foot that needed to be removed.
"Nurse Lily? I need the cotton swab now please." (OMG thats me! :D)
"Here Doctor." "Thank you."
I was about to cleanse her foot when the door burst open, and my two very distressed children, interrupted my procedure.
"Edward? Alice? Why are you here? I'm in the middle of surgery!"
"It's Bella." Edward growled.
Of course. Edward was too overprotective for his own good.
"Doctor Wilson? Can you take over for me? It's an emergency."
"Of course Doctor, it would be an honor."
I smiled. It was nice to know that someone would have the honor of working for a vampire.
Edward's POV:
By the time we got to the house, something was wrong. I could hear Jasper playing Wii in the background, but I couldn't hear breathing.
I couldn't even smell Bella's mouth-watering roses and freesia scent.
Sure enough, Bella wasn't in her bed. And the window was open.
There was also another smell in the yard. It was vile, disgusting, but not as bad as the smell of werewolf. Pickles and barley? It mingled unnaturally with Bella's scent, then disapeared into the woods.
One thing for sure, Bella wasn't here.
I darted into the living room and picked Jasper up by his collar.
"WHERE IS SHE??" I demanded.
"Edward! Have you gone insane??" "WHERE'S BELLA!?"
"In her room!" He said, a little frightened now. Ha. I knew better.
"She is most definently not in her room, Jasper Whitlock! Weren't you supposed to be watching her??" I shook him violently.
"Edward! Put Jasper down, now!" Alice yelled.
I begrudgingly set his feet on the floor.
"I know Bella's important to you, she is to me too! But that doesn't mean you can go around shaking people's husbands!" Her tiny body swelled with anger, like a tiny porcupine.
"And you!" She turned to face Jasper, pointing her finger at his throat.
"Why weren't you watching Bella??"
"Because I was playing Paper Mario and I beat my high score! Aren't you proud of me Alice?" He begged.
"Shut up! Edward did you track Bella's trail?" "Yes." I scowled. "But she went over the boundary line."
"Oh." Alice said.
Carlisle stepped forward. I almost had forgotten he was here.
"We can't break the treaty, and maybe she's with Jacob." He said.
I hoped so. For once, I wanted nothing more than for Bella to be with that disease ridden mutt. Wait can I take that back..?
Sorry everyone, but thats all for today! Next time, we'll check in on Bella when Jacob tells her about the existence of vampires and werewolves! And will Bella finally be healed of her amnesia? What if she has another symptom of her injury? Stay tuned!
And now, a little scene between Emmett and Rosalie.
Rosalie's POV:
"Ha! Yes! I win!" I did a little victory dance.
"No fair! You know I got dibs on that bear before you did!" My husband wailed.
"No way, I won fair and square. I hunted about twenty more bears than you did" I said, a little smug.
"How about another round?" Emmett asked.
"Fine, but prepare to lose, again!"
Looks like SOMEONE'S having fun! I wish I could say the same for Edward and Bella! Oh well!
See you next time!
