NOTE: Thank you guys for reviewing, and again to all those people who reviewed more than once or twice or thrice and so forth...

I'm sorry that I haven't been able to update as much as I'd like...apparently the basement needs cleaning, the house needs dusting and I've been waking up bright and early (in my standards) every morning to clean...not fun...

Disclaimer: I called Stephenie Meyer again for the thirteenth time last night, apparently I've been named a stalker by the library for trying to steal her book...I still haven't given up on buying it however...lol

Carlisle's view

I could not believe that Edward had punched me, out of all the people I had ever encountered- I didn't believe Edward would ever punch me- but then again he did have a problem with his anger.

I knew that it was wrong for me to lie to him in the first place...and then to lie to him again that I could explain, when I really couldn't.

And both times it was about Bella- someone he really cared about. One of the only ones he really cared about. Me changing him made no difference to the amount of affection he showed me over the years, but to Bella- he seemed more lost every day, and me and Esme couldn't be happier for him- but sometimes it did seem that he was a little too lost for his own good.

I hadn't wanted to face him right now, or at least after half an hour. I really didn't want him to see me like this. It was too late however.

"Carlisle," he whispered- even too soft for me to hear straight- but I could sense that it was hoarse from what seemed like confusion to him- loss disappointment, as though something had happened to him that he really hadn't wanted to happen. I knew he was suspecting things- and the same with myself- to what had happened to Bella. I had a feeling that it was a lot worse than the both of us had expected. I knew he was, right now, expecting that something dreadful had happened to me when it honestly hadn't. I knew what he was about to ask, he didn't have to go on further however.

"Edward," I sighed, "I'll explain later." I was much too tired to talk right now. I left him gaping at me from the behind to go to the bathroom where I washed up my face thoroughly, leaving every scratch and bruise untouched by anything besides water- just to get rid of the blood. Perhaps this would repel the ladies, I thought. It hadn't helped on the way here however. I had once heard- this from Edward telling me- that the ladies when this had happened to me once before had only thought I'd done some heroic act such as saving a child from a burning building or so. I smiled at the thought.

He came in at that point of time however, to see me I suppose. There wasn't much to see though.

"I just got into a bad fight,' I explained to him as he walked in. "There isn't much to worry about." I knew he would though, he was just that type of a person.

"Carlisle," his voice rang, "tell me what happened."

"Edward," I turned around to face him, 'nothing is the matter all right?" He didn't look as though be believed me.

"Tell me."

I knew he was persistent, and so I didn't fight him (although I was over three times his age). "I met the man who..." I caught my breath for a moment, "changed me. I met the man who changed me, and I couldn't help myself from lunging at him- and I'm pretty sure he recognized me too, since we both got into a hand to hand combat at the same time." I wasn't looking at him when I was saying this. I knew what he was going to ask though. "Don't worry," I sighed, "there were no humans passing by at the time- at least I hope."

"Oh."

"He said that he was sorry, but he knew that I would lunge for him and so I stopped of course. He also said that he was expecting me to turn up sooner or later because he was a senser- as in he could sense things coming- not like Alice though- he didn't have visions. He told me that he was sorry, and that he had realized the wrongings of his ways and had finally turned to the Church- which I doubt he had belonged to a few centuries ago or whatever- and was trying to correct himself even though he knew that he would probably never see heaven for turning a priest or so who was only trying to be the savior of mankind. We then sat down and talked for a few minutes, when he attacked me once again." I knew I was frowning at that point, I didn't try to hide it though. "He was lying however, he had only just decided to turn as many as he could. He flashed a person he was feeding on moments before he saw me- and I realized at that point that he was trying to make me join him like Angel did with Spike," I didn't have to explain myself at that point, Edward I knew liked that show just as much as I did (Note: Angel is like/ was like the best show ever). "Thank god the blood didn't affect me however- you know-" I explained sheepishly-even though I knew that he knew-"that I do the same thing that Angel had started with the bags of pig blood since I can't do what you and Emmet do all the time or so." (Note: I think they should have done that in the book- or at least say that the girls did that since hunting grosses me out a bit).

I looked at Edward then, and the first thing that I noticed was that he wasn't even looking at me. He hadn't been paying much attention to anything that I was saying. I couldn't believe it for a second, but then realized, this was not the same Edward I used to know. I knew he was thinking about Bella however.

"She's dead..." he trailed off. I didn't ask him how he knew that for his voice was already too weak. I suspected that as well...but I knew that Jasper and Alice would never let anything harm Bella in any shape; matter or form.

"Edward," I said to him, "You know just as perfectly well as I do that neither Jasper or Alice would ever do anything to harm her. They would never hurt her, or ransom her or watch her suffer-except in your hands," I said, adding the last part to cheer him up a bit. It didn't work however. He interpreted it wrong.

"Carlisle," he said..."She's dead.."

I shook my head and simply told him "no," for he shouldn't have doubted Jasper or Alice or me.

"Jasper, he..." Edward I noticed, didn't get to finish though. I received a call from Alice then. I didn't even get to answer it though.

Jasper burst in at that point, with Bella-the lifeless Bella in his arms.

I noticed that Edward was no longer beside me.

NOTE: Thank you for reading...I honestly swear I'll try to update more often...I tried to make this long...but I know that it was not as long as the last one, or quite frankly, as long as most people write there's which I sometimes (I swear I mean no offense because I like it) never gets to the point...
