A/N: Sorry it took a few days to update..i kinda got sidetracked Xx heh, sorry, but heres the next chapter, hope you all like it!

-Edward PoV-

The second he closed the door my mind went blank, except for one thing: Bella. I ran over

her as fast as I could to her mangled body and cradled her gently in my arms, turning her head

towards me and moving stray hairs away from her face.

"Bella, my Angel, please wake up. I love you, please Bella..." I whispered into her ear. Dry sobs

escaped my lips as her body stayed motionless in my now trembling arms. I thought I had lost

my angel forever.

-Bella PoV-

I heard Edward's voice, but it was faint, distant. I tried to say his name or open my eyes, but I

couldn't. It hurt to even breathe, but I knew he was right there, I just had to open my eyes and I

would see him, I would see my Edward.

I could hear him crying out my name, hear his dry sobs and I felt his cool skin around me, it felt

nice against my beaten body. I knew I didn't have the strength to wake up, but I didn't care, I

needed to see him, to be reassured that he really was there and it wasn't some cruel joke my mind

was playing on me.

"..Edwa-" was all I could mutter and I moaned lightly from the pain. I forced my eyes open,

denying the rest of my body that was telling me not to, that I wasn't strong enough to do it.

When they opened, everything was blurry. I looked up and saw him. He was looking into my

eyes and I could see the relief of my being alive wash all over her face. The tension in the air

was psychically noticed.

"Oh Bella, thank god you're alive..." he said to me and kisses me gently on the lips. That seemed

to have given my heart the jumpstart that it needed because I could start to feel the strength return

to my exhausted body.

"Bella, I am so sorry, I've put you in danger again, this time worse than any other...it's all my

fault. I shouldn't of left you alone. I should've been there with you. I knew something didn't

smell right in the house, but I brushed it out of my mind. Im so sorry.." he said all in one

breath, rambling.

"Shh... Ed..ward. Don't blame yourself. It's Not you..fault." I said back to him, trying to regulate

my breathing pattern. "But I-" he tried to say, but I used some of the strength that had been

returned to me to put my hand gently to his lips to stop him from apologizing for something

he didn't do. He grabbed my hand from his face and kissed it.

"I..Love you,.. Edward." I whispered to him.

"I love you so much, Isabella, my angel." he said back to me with so much love in his voice.

He leaned back against the wall and layed me down with him. His cold skin felt so good against

my cuts and bruises. He brushed my hair away gently and then traced patterns on the back

of my hand, which was wrapped around his arm.

"Bella, you need to get some rest, you're going to need as much strength back as possible." he

spoke to me quietly, his eyes burning into mine as I looked up at him.

"Heh, even now, in this hell, you still dazzle me, Edward." I said, smiling weakly at him. He

smiled my favorite crooked smile back down at me and I felt my heart beat quickening again.

"Edward...How.. How are we going to get out of here..? what 're we going to do..?" I asked

him, noticing how anger flashed through his darkened eyes quickly.

"We'll figure out a way, Bella, don't worry. Just get some rest for now, okay?" he said, getting

in a more comfortable position against the wall so I could sleep on top of him.

"..Alright." I breathed into his arm as I leaned my head against his chest and the crook in his arm.

"I love you, Bella." he whispered into my ear. He kissed my hair and I mumbled my reply back

to him, drifting off to sleep to the sound of him humming my lullaby.

We were under the constant watchful eye of the enemy. Everything we did was known to them.

Yet here in his arms, resting against his chest and following my breathing pattern with his. I felt

safe and calm, like nothing could hurt my any longer, I was protected, and my protector was

my angel, the one person who I would give everything to in a heartbeat. I felt like I was in

heaven while in the center of this hell.
