Chapter 3: Not yet answers
Bella's P.o.V.
All I remember is:
-Flashback-My foot missed the stair and I slipped. Alice was standing at the bottom of the stairs staring in horror as I came tumbling down. I flailed my arms wildly, hitting a vase that stood on a table next to the stairs. I screamed as I landed on the broken pieces of vase, blood pooled under me and before I knew it, Alice was on top of me and I didn't know why. Then I realized that all the Cullen's were on top of us and Carlisle was pulling them off. I felt a sharp pain in my arm and everything was black. -End flashback-
I slid my eyes open slowly, analyzing my surroundings. The ceiling was white with grey spots. There was a TV hanging on the wall in front of me and a curtain was hanging on one side of me. Next to me was a bed next. I looked at who was in it… Alice.
"A- Alice?" I whispered trying to get her attention.
"Bella! I was so worried about you. I mean, they said you would definitely wake up but… you know me," she answered me immediately. I looked at her, she had a cut on her fore head and her arm was in a cast.
"W- What happened?" I wondered to myself but, it still was to Alice.
"Hold on, Carlise, our doctor, is coming in five seconds," she stated. Just then, Carlisle stepped through the door, holding a clipboard. He was wearing a white lab coat and had a stethoscope around his neck
"Hello, you're awake," he said.
Finally, I managed to out where I was. I took a whiff of the misty I'm in a hospital… eww…
"Uh… hi," I greeted him.
"How do you feel?" Carlisle asked. Alice stayed completely silent, pretending to sleep.
I took time to actually try to feel something but, everything was numb. "Well, I feel, sort of, numb… I guess," I answered after a minute.
"Yes," suddenly, his beeper started making noise, "Oh, I have to go," with that he almost ran out of the room.
I stared at Alice. She finally opened her eyes and began answering my question, "I don't know what happened, really. They told me… they told me that we… fell down the stairs. They said we hit our heads pretty hard and that we fell on glass. I feel like this didn't happen that way, though. I mean, I can see you falling but, I haven't fallen, or even tripped, since I was five. You would know. Plus, look at us; we look like we were mauled by bears!"
"How long have I been 'sleeping'" I put emphasis on the sleeping to let her know that I knew I was unconscious.
"Since I woke up, you've been unconscious for a few hours and you know what?"
"What?" I asked hesitantly.
"No one cares that were hurt," Alice said like it was an everyday question. "We don't have anyone Bella, no one, except each other. To tell you the truth, that's why I was afraid that you weren't going to wake up, even though I was sure. I was afraid I wouldn't have anyone…" Tears welled up in her eyes as she said this.
"Oh, Ali, I'm so sorry!" I sympathized.
I pulled the needles from my arm and the tube from my nose as I ran over to Alice. I almost collapsed as the pain surged through my leg but, kept going until I reached her bed. The monitor was making a solid beep noise because I had taken it off. I held Alice in my arms and we cried together, realizing our situation.
Carlisle came running into the room so fast that I barely saw him. It was like he was running at the speed of light, "Oh my gosh, Bella, I thought…" He didn't finish his thought.
"Sorry for worrying you, I- I didn't mean to," I answered him as I let go of Alice.
"It's alright; I must go attend to a patient. You should be fine to stay with your sister," Carlisle said as he walked over and turned the heart monitor off and then out of the room, that was weird.
"Ali, what do you think happened," I asked all of a sudden.
"Well, I think… I think maybe the Cullen's aren't… like us," I didn't understand.
"Of course there not like us! They actually have a family!"
"No, not like that. I think there not… human."
"That's crazy, Alice!"
"You asked what I thought. I specifically remember you falling down the stairs. You hit a vase and were bleeding. The Cullen's started to growl and came toward us. I got down and tried to protect you. They attacked us. At least, that's what I remember."
"I remember falling down the stairs and a pool of blood. I vaguely remember people on top of me and… growling, for some reason." Wow this is getting strange. I remember the same thing as Alice. "If… If there not human, than what are they?" I asked curiously.
"I don't know," Alice was about to say something else when Carlisle walked back in. We both tensed.
"Hi," Alice piped up.
"Hello," Carlisle answered her without hesitation. He wrote something on his clipboard and when he was done he kept his head down.
"Uh… what's wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing, nothing, how is your arm?" He looked at me so I'm guessing that the question was directed toward me. I looked down at my arm where I saw… teeth marks? Why are their teeth marks on my arm?
"Why is there a bite mark on my arm!?" I asked instinctively.
"It's just the formation of the glass from the vase. It looks like teeth, huh?" He answered to quickly, like he had practiced saying it to himself multiple times.
"Yeah, whatever," I said under my breath. Carlisle stared at me in awe but I was sure I had said it so quiet that no one had heard me. I guess he had.
Carlisle paced out of the room without saying a word, probably to go talk to his alien family… but, really, what can they be besides human?
Once I knew he was gone, I started talking extremely fast so that even if he was listening, he wouldn't be able to understand, "Alice, what are we going to do? What are they? How- What- Are we still going to live with them? What do you think we should do? Oh my gosh, please give me answers!"
"Bella," Alice shushed me and then two people came in. One person was old. He skin looked extremely tan and his face was full of wrinkles, he came in the room in a wheel chair. The other person looked about two years younger than me and he was also tan skinned. H was kind of cute… They smelled awful!
"Hey, Bella and Alice," The older man greeted us and the younger kid waved.
"Umm… Hi, I'm sorry but, I don't remember you and by the look on Bella's face, she doesn't either," Alice and I chuckled under our breath for some unknown reason.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm Billy and this is Jacob, were family friends," The man in the wheel chair, Billy, explained.
"Oh, I remember now, Jacob, I used to be best friends with you in first grade!" I told him, even though I'm sure he already knew that.
"Oh, I remember now, too! We used to call ourselves the three musketeers," Alice added in, we all laughed.
"Yeah, we thought we'd visit you since… well, you know," Jacob chipped into the conversation.
"Thanks, it's nice to talk to someone we know. Alice and I don't really have any close friends, just school friends, so we don't have anyone but each other," I said trying to sound like it didn't matter when it mattered a lot.
"Well, the real reason we're here is because we need to talk to you about… the Cullen's," Billy reasoned, "You shouldn't live with them. Okay, I'm going to say the truth, it's not safe." That confused me. Why wouldn't they be safe?
"Why wouldn't they be safe?" I let my mind talk. I started to panic.
"Well, there not… hum-" before Billy could finish, Carlisle came into the room and it sounded like he was… growling under his breath! As Billy and Carlisle made eye contact Billy suddenly wheeled out without a good-bye. Jacob stood there, as confused as I am.
"What was that about?" I asked him.
"Uh, I'll call you later, kay?" That's when he left, too. Wow, this is weird. I looked at Alice; she had confusion written all over her face, probably what I look like.
"Uh… girls, you will be able to leave in a few days," Carlisle broke the silence.
"Were still staying with you, right?" Alice asked, I hadn't even thought of that question. I anticipated the answer.
"Well, of course…" He trailed off at the end. He walked out of the room, again! This is getting annoying! After about 5 minutes, I heard him talking;
"They can't stay, especially after what happened!" A velvety voice said, it reminded me of Edward Cullen's voice.
"Edward," Well I guess that's why it sounded like Edward because it was, "there suspicious already! They have to stay with us, if they don't they could tell someone!" Carlisle spoke angrily.
"If they stay you're putting there live in danger! I already bit Bella once, who's to say I won't do it again!? I'm sorry but, if they're staying, I can't." Edward's voice got husky at the end.
"I'm sorry, Edward, I can't risk this. Our family can possibly be exposed. If we try to move again they will think we are dumping Bella and Alice. Then we'll be in every newspaper and we'll have no where to go!" Carlisle explained. I didn't understand at all. His family will be exposed?
"I understand. I have to go. I'll be in Alaska if you need me." I heard foot steps echoing and they suddenly faded. It must have been Edwards. Carlisle's foot steps got loader and he was now next to me.
"How are you feeling Bella?" He said sincerely.
I let my mind take over, "What did you mean by your family will be exposed?" Carlisle tensed.
