Chapter 2: Edward Look Alike

Bella's POV

Once we got to New York city about five hours later we saw the devastation immediately. It was such a horrific sight. It's hard to believe that humans can be so evil towards each other.
"How horrible" gasped Nessie.
I went over to her. "I know sweetie, I know" I said.
"Lets go everyone. We need to set up at home before I head to the hospital" Carlisle said.
"Come on Nessie" I said pulling on her.
"Bella, are you okay?" Edward asked.
"I'm fine, it's just a horrible sight to see" I said.
"I know" he said.
Everyone was unusually quiet on the ride home.
We unpacked everything as fast as possible.
"I'm going over to the hospital now. Would anyone like to come? I might need some help since I have to work at human pace" Carlisle asked.
"I'll go" I answered. I wanted to do whatever I could to help those poor people.
"Okay let's go" he said.
It was sad to see the hospital overflowing with victims. A lot of them were moaning or screaming in pain.
"Hi I'm Dr. Cullen" Carlisle said to the man in charge.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Dr. Franklin" he said.
"Who's this?" he asked indicating towards me.
"This is my daughter Bella. She's going to help me" Carlisle said.
"That's good. We can use the extra hands" Dr. Franklin said.
"Anyways, just help whoever you can" he added.
As we were searching for someone my jaw dropped when I saw him.
"Carlisle look" I said. When he looked at the person I was pointing at he dropped his pen and paper; something I've never seen a vampire do.
"He looks exactly like Edward" I said.
"Oh my" was all he could say as we headed towards Edward's cone.
"How is this possible? He looks just like him" Carlisle asked.
"I don't know" I answered.
His breathing was extremely shallow and his heartbeat was so low that a vampire could barely hear it.
"How can we help him?" I asked.
"We can't. He's dead, his heartbeat just stopped and his breathing stopped" he said.
"No it hasn't" I said. I could still faintly hear both.
"Yes he is" I stated.
"No, Bella he's not. Now I'm taking him to the morgue, so we can help the ones who can still be saved" Carlisle said sternly.
"He is alive! I can still hear..." Carlisle cut me off. "Bella, stop this right now. Even if he was still alive, which he isn't, he'd still be close to death and there would be nothing we could do to save him" Carlisle said with a mean look on his face.
After Carlie left the morgue, I snuck in there.
I honestly don't even know why I care suddenly cared about him so much. I mean he is just a stranger.
As I looked at him I knew I had to do something. It wasn't fair to let him die like this. He probably had a girlfriend or wife that loved him dearly. Maybe he had kids of his own that would miss him so much. His parents would be devastated. Maybe he had a little brother or sister that idolized him. Maybe he was his/her protector. He would or she would really miss him. This young man, whoever he was could tell his family our secret so he'd never have to move or leave them.
It was clear what I had to do. I've never done this before so I wasn't sure how easy it would be, but I was running out of time.
I bent down closer and closer to his neck. I felt the texture of his skin before my razor sharp teeth sliced through his neck. His blood tasted good, but I remembered who I was and what i was trying to do and I stopped.
He let out an ear piercing scream letting me know that the venom was beginning to spread.
