Hey guys, one last update for a few days. I do hope you will be patient and wait. It shouldn't be a long wait. Once I get more beta'd chapters back, I will be updating once a day.

As always, thank you to Darcy'smom for betaing and my friends(they know who they are) for reading and encouraging me.

And thank you to all of you who have reviewed, faved, followed this little story of mine. I can't thank you guys enough!

Enjoy!

I watched the sunlight creep over the ceiling and the moon trade places with it four times now since I drank from the rat. I don't feel different. I'm still hungry, still yearning for something, anything. All the while I still felt hollow, incomplete.

The sun was currently playing hide and seek with the shadows on the ceiling, signaling mid-day. Yet, I still made no move to move.

I closed my eyes, and breathed in deeply, trying to catch a whiff of her scent. Even though I know it was entirely impossible. I tried to conjure up the smell of freesias and strawberries from my memory. I breathed in deeply again, only smelling an old attic with stale air, and my cold, dead heart bottoms out.

I know I brought this on myself. But it hurt. It hurt so much more than the change. I would gladly go through the change again, if I didn't have to feel this, feel myself breaking into a thousand pieces due to loss.

And it's my fault, my stupidity.

A buzzing sound filled the room, and I felt the vibration through my pants pocket.

I refused to answer.

*.*

"Edward."

I searched for the voice, but saw nothing.

"You can't do this to yourself. You need to eat. I need you strong. I need my Edward."

"Bella?" I called out. How can she be here? How did she find me?

"I love you." The voice that sounded like Bella's called out.

I laid there for a few moments, staring up at the ceiling as the voice slowly faded away.

The voice had settled something in me. It had moved a piece inside me long set dormant.

I breathed in deeply, finally smelling the air that held a faint scent of freesias and strawberries.

It's like she was really here.

I felt a twinge in my chest, and realized that I must have been hallucinating, conjuring up what I wanted to hear. I missed her so much that I hallucinated her voice.

The vibrating sound was back again, but this time it didn't let up. It was continuous, and if I am honest, it was getting on my nerves!

It had disrupted my quiet.

My hell.

I reached into my pocket, grabbing the offending phone. I didn't bother to look at the screen, I just answered.

"Whoever this is can quit calling. "

I heard a shaky breath rattle through the phone and then a voice I hadn't heard since the day I left Forks. And with that voice, my resolve shattered.

Again, this will be the last update for a few days. I do hope you guys stick around, and I do apologize for the slight cliffy.

Looking forward to your thoughts and theories.

Thank you for taking the time to read!
