CHAPTER 15

Edward and Bella lied side by side on the stone floor. It had been almost 30 minutes since they both went tumbling to the ground, unconscious.
I stood over both of them checking for anything.
Anything that could reassure me that there was still some life left in them.
But it was the way they were laying that I could have sworn they were dead.
I had seen a lot of corpses in my life, 300 hundred years of pale faces, lifeless bodies and fading heartbeats.
But never had I imagined my son would be one of them.
His face was paler then normal and his eyes were closed but had big stretch marks under them.
Isabella lied at his side, with her hair fanned out across the stone floor, like a halo.
Her face was just the same as Edwards.
Romeo and Juliet was the name of this tragedy.
"What is it Alice?" I turned my head around towards Jaspers voice who was comfortingly whispering in my daughters' ear.
I was glad Emily had left a few minutes ago; I couldn't care for where she could have gone.
Alice's eyes were wide her body unmoving. She was having a vision.
I looked at her, waiting for the outcome except it took longer then normal for her to regain her posture.
"Alice what is it?" I asked, finally her eyes darted even wider, as if I had woken her from her reverie.
She looked at my with wide baffled, wild eyes. If it was possible I'd say the room went even quieter as Alice whispered with a vicious tone.
"Someone is changing the past."

"Will you do it for her Edward?"
"You did it last time."
"You can save her."
I could only faintly hear the voices. They were muffled by something loud and continuous. It was a bloodcurdling sound that drowned out the voices, and shrieking almost deadly sound. Sounded like hell was coming alive.
"Save her."
My eyes flashed open revealing the Cullen family standing over top of me.
My eyes darted right to Edwards, who was holding my hand to his lips.
I tried to hear what he was saying, his lips moved at top speed, tickling my fingers and I finally realized that he was repeating the words "I'm sorry."
I could feel an intense pain seeping through my body, and suddenly the shrieking sound had gotten louder.
"Bella Shh."
Oh,
It was me.
It sounded as if I were dying one thousand deaths.
"Save her." Someone repeated, and Edward let go of my hand. It looked as if he was going to kiss my neck, but then I realized the truth behind it.
"NOOO!" I screamed, at the top of my lungs, with all the energy I could conjure.
"What! What Bella!?" Edward cried.
Suddenly I felt a painful shock in the middle of my chest, and screamed once again.
"The venom is moving too quickly."
Everything is. I thought dimly. Another whip of pain slashed my heart.
Another scream.
"I have to save you Bella." Edward cried, bending his head back down to my throat.
"NO, Edward PLEASE." I screamed again. He looked at me and every bit of his perfect face was mashed up into a portrait of complete horror.
"You… Don't…know the …TRUTH!" I yelled through grinding teeth.
"What's the truth Bella?YOU'RE DYING!" It was the only time he had ever yelled at me and it almost frightened me. Not because of his words, because of the truth behind his words.
He was more scared then he had ever been in his life.
And I could see, behind his eyes, that he was truly thinking of a life without me. I could die right this second, and he would have forever to remember it.
"Please Edward, TRUST ME, just …bite me." I shouted he looked at me quizzically.
"Bite you? Why?!" He was sobbing now, his chest heaved but nothing drained from his eyes.
Suddenly everything began to slow down, and the beating in my ears began to fade.
I then realized that it was my heart that was fading.
I was fading.
And even though I was dying all over again, it felt almost peaceful.
The world seemed to slow down just a bit, and I liked it because I got a second look at Edwards beautiful eyes.
They were full of sorrow and agony and guilt, but I got to reassure myself that he was there.
He was there.
Standing before me with his hands on mine, whispering things in my ear I couldn't hear.
"I love you Edward." I whispered, well nearly gasped. It felt like all the air from my lungs had simply vanished.
His expression broke into many unfixable pieces. His chest heaved.
"I need to save you Bella." He said boldly. He was trying to be the hero again.
"Bite me Edward. I can save you. I can save you." I whispered, darkness was pulling at all my senses drowning me in the quiet blackness.
Edward put a light hand on my cheek, something I could barley feel.
"You have saved me." And just before I fell into the blackness I watched as he bent his head to my throat, kissing it softly before nipping it with his perfect teeth.
I put my hands in his hair, and he pulled his head up, kissing me just as gently as he whispered the words,
"I love you too."
