Sorry last week was crazy busy. Here is the next chapter…

Previously:

"Nice to meet you Edward Cullen. I'm Bella Swan."

He smiled. "Now get going. I'll see you again."

I nodded. I went and picked up Robert and ran to the gym. I was afraid of what I was gonna see.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I got to the gym I realized why nobody was there to help me fight. I looked and saw my fellow fighters all hurt besides Charlie and Mike. Jacob was the only one in decent condition; he was all scratched up. After I let the image process I set Robert on the ground. My ribs couldn't handle the weight anymore. Charlie came running over to me and he hugged me.

"Dad. Ribs." I said trying to let him know the pain he was putting me through.

He let go. "Sorry. I have been worried sick about you but I couldn'y leave here because it is so bad. I was just hoping that you were okay. I'm so sorry. Are you okay? Did you kill him?" My dad said all in one breath.

I took it all in for a moment. "I'm alright and yes I killed him but he got to Robert before I could kill him."

"I'm sorry Bells." He kissed my forehead.

I started walking to help everyone but Charlie stopped me. "Bella. Tyler and Embry didn't make it."

It didn't really register in my head what he said. I just stared at him not wanting to come to reality with what he just told me. "How is everyone else?" I avoided his last statement.

"Well out of all the fighters, Jacob is the only one that isn't in pain." I scanned Jacob, Mike, and Billy all working on my friends. "Kellan is the worst Bells. I don't know if we can help him much more."

I didn't really respond to Charlie I just ran to Kellan's side, who was lying on the ground he was fighting staying awake. I saw a little smile when he saw me but then he closed his eyes. "We really need to get him to the hospital." I looked down at the bone sticking out of his leg. "Get him in the car now! I'll take him."

"Are you sure?" Jacob asked.

"Get him in the car now!!"

Jacob picked him up and put him in Kellan's Tahoe. I jumped in the driver's seat.

"Be careful. Let us know soon."

"Just worry about the rest of them."

I sped off to the hospital. I got there in no time. I ran into the emergency room and grabbed the nearest nurse.

"I need your help! My friend has lost a lot of blood, his bone is sticking out of his leg. He needs help now!"

She nodded and I took her out to the Tahoe and we both carried him inside. He was unconscious.

"Dr. Cullen!" The nurse called. My eyes got huge. Edward's father was running towards us. He took Kellan from us and put him on a bed.

"He is in good hands now, have a nurse check you out." Him and a nurse ran off with Kellan to I have no idea where.

I failed to listen to him though. I went into the waiting room instead of getting checked out. I sat in a chair and closed my eyes. I thought about everything that had just happened. It amazed me that Edward's dad was a vampire and was a doctor. He has to have some major self-control with the amount of blood around here. They were both so beautiful too. I ended up falling asleep. I didn't know how long I was out but Dr. Cullen woke me.

"Can we talk in my office?"

I nodded and followed him into his office. I shut the door behind me knowing this wasn't gonna be a conversation for outside ears.

"Well your friend will be okay. Just have to let things heal. It's a good thing you got him here when you did."

"Thank you."

"Did you get checked out?"

"No. Don't need to," although the pain wasn't going away.

"Your ribs aren't hurting at all?"

"I'll get over it." I knew I was being rude and I felt bad but I couldn't help it.

"Can I ask what happened?"

"Your kind is what happened." I snapped. He looked at me with eyes filled with kindness and sorrow. "Sorry didn't mean to snap. But we fought 3 of your kind. They were stronger than others we have faced. They killed 3 people and injured 4 others."

"I am truly sorry."

"Well your son saved me. But I have a feeling you know that already."

He smiled which wasn't as breath taking as Edwards but it was very warming. "Yes I did. Thank you for being kind to us."

"I look into your eyes and I don't see any ounce of evil in you. I don't have the heart to kill you. You guys are going against your nature and you're saving lives. That is amazing and that is something I won't take from this world." I spoke the truth. Vampires are monsters but they weren't and I wouldn't take their lives.

"Thank you so much. That means a lot to me. I just wish I could have helped you guys."

"It's okay. Edward saved me and you saved my friend. We will bounce back."

He nodded and we were silent, taking in our conversation. "Well you can see your friend. He is sleeping but you can go see him."

"Thank you Dr. Cullen."

He nodded. I left his office and went outside to call Jacob.

"Is he okay?" Jacob answered.

"He just needs to rest and let things heal but the doctor saved his life. Is everything okay there or should I have a doctor come?"

"No we got them resting. Just need to heal also. Mike saved Sam's life. I think Mike found his calling." Jacob laughed.

"You okay Jacob? You looked beat up."

"Just battle scars. What about you? I can't believe I let you fight him on your own. I'm sorry."

"I'm fine Jacob. You needed to be with them. They needed you. This was my battle. I just wish Tyler and Embry could be here to see that we killed them."

"Yeah well is all we can do now is bounce back and keep fighting any vampires that come to this city."

Even the Cullens.. "Well I'm gonna go see Kellan even thought he is sleeping. Please rest. Come up later."

"Okay. Get some sleep too. Bye Bella."

I hung up and went up to Kellan's room.

He looked so helpless. I pulled a chair up and sat next to his side. I grabbed his hand. He had been my trainer for years. One of the toughest guys I know. And look at him now. Fucking vampires. "You gotta be okay bud. I need my trainer. I need my friend. I'm sorry I brought this on to everyone else. I should have just stayed and fought with you guys. You guys never left me but I left you. And look what happened. I'm sorry."

I started crying. Everything was my fault. I needed to get away from here before anyone else gets hurt. I kissed Kellan on the forehead and made my way out of the hospital.

"You're not leaving Bella." I heard a velvet voice call behind me. I stood in my place but didn't turn to look at him. How did he know. I felt him really close behind me. "Running will only hurt them more." He was in my face now. I looked at him. He was such a beautiful man. He wasn't a vampire. He was too good, too beautiful to be such a monster. He rubbed my cheeks. "They need you now more than ever."

"How do you know?" I whispered.

"Remember that long story?"

"Yeah. I guess that is apart of it."

"Yes."

"This is all my fault. If I would have just stay with them." I babbled on. He shook his head and put his finger on my lips to stop me. It sent chills through my body.

"How about we go and talk. You can get away for a bit."

I didn't need to think about it. There was something that made me trust him.

"Take me where ever." I followed him to his silver Volvo. He opened the passenger door for me. I got in and then we were off to I had no idea where. I was kind of numb. Everything was sinking in now. I lost 3 people today. Everyone that I loved was hurting. And now I'm in a car with a vampire. I was trusting a vampire with my life. I knew my dad would be upset if he knew what I was doing. Edward's kind took his love away from him. But if I stayed around much longer I'd be the reason he'd lose the ones he loves.

It felt like we had been in the car for hours when he stopped. He stopped in front of woods. The woods were kind of the last place I wanted to be but I was trusting him.

"Do you care if we hike a little?" I shook my head and got out of his car. The sun was starting to rise and the night had finally come to and end. "Follow me." He demanded and we started our way into the woods.

At first the hike wasn't bad but then my ribs started hurting me. I had to stop because it was getting hard to breathe.

"You alright?" Edward was next to me in an instant.

"Just my ribs are making it hard to hike. How much farther?"

"Not long but I'll carry you."

Ha he was crazy. I don't need his help hiking. I'm not some damsel in distress. I could do it on my own.

"Bella, don't be silly. It's your ribs, they are a vital part of your body."

"No." I started walking. But I didn't make it far when my feet were off the ground and I was in Edward's arms. I tried fighting back but it hurt too much. And it didn't even seem to phase him. Bastard. He smiled like he could hear me.

Finally he put me down in the most beautiful meadow ever. The sun was beating of his skin. He was even more beautiful. Snap out of it Bella, he's a vampire. This place was just as breath taking as he was. The trees, the sun, Edward, it was all so beautiful. It made me forget about the things I wanted to get away from.
