Chapter 6 The last breath -BPOV

It has been a very long night to say the least, and I had a feeling it was was going to get a whole lot worst as the day progressed. Since Edward had come knocking on my door in the middle of the night, we had just sat on the bed his head on my shoulder. Waiting, for anything, any news.

Just as I was about to ask Edward if he wanted to go get something to eat, I saw the door flew open, and their stood Sarah. She came running over toward the bed with very noticeable anger and frustration on her face, hands on her hips she turned to Edward.

"Master Edward! There you are! I have been looking everywhere for you. What do you're doing, Bella is only in her night dress." And, with that she pushed Edward up as she started to push him out the door "Out, Out, You were raised better than this." Just as Edward went to walk through the door he glanced back at me, and gave me one of his crocked smiled. It's Amazing, even all his been through tonight he can still put a smile on his face that turns my legs to jelly every time. I quickly got up, and Sarah helped me go through my daily morning routine. As Sarah was doing my hair I noticed a small tear run down her face, She usually talked non stop to me while I was getting ready. Saying what was planned for the day, but today she was the quietest I have ever seen her. "Sarah, What is ever the matter to bring you to tears?" When she did not answer I knew what was wrong. I looked at her start in the eyes through the mirror, and asked the dreaded question. "He did not make it did he? Edward Snr." I watch her shake her head quickly as she finishes up with my hair, and walks over toward the door. "No mam, He did not, but I was told with specific instructions not to tell Edward as Madam wanted to tell him herself. Even though Edward has not shown much affection or for that matter connection towards his father. Edward Snr is one of Edward's biggest role models." She opened the door, and looked back at me "I am so happy he has such a beautiful close person that he can lean on. I am not sure he would get through this without you, you'll make a great couple." I mouth a thank you to her "Now, come down stair as breakfast is ready waiting for you."

As I enter the Dinning room and take my seat beside Edward Sarah comes out with two trays and commands us to start eating. "Now you'r mother has asked me to inform you two that she would love visitors but, only on the condition that you wear these masks at all times." She pulls out two hospital masks for her pocket and places them in font of us."Do you understand. If you take them off I will not allow you to walk out of this house ever again if you do!" I look across at Edward to see him smiling "Thanks Sarah, we won't take them off, Will we Bella" He looks across at me and I giggle and quickly shake my head. After we finally finish eating our breakfast we walked to the door told Sarah we were off, and walked out the door towards the hospital. My only hope is that Elizabeth will be okay, especially for Edward's sake.

The ride to the hospital was quiet, and as we arrived I took Bella's hand and walked up the the entrance to ask where my mother and father was. I was so nervous, scared and a million other emotions all bunched into one, I had never been one to show much of my emotions but since last night I fells more pulled towards Bella than ever before. She has now seen me at my worst but still loves me. The nurse directs us the the second floor, first room to the right. I hope they are all right, I just got engaged they can not die now, I wanted them at my wedding. I was their only son they had to be there, I had no other family, apart for Bella of course. We walked into the room and the first thing I laid my eyes on my mother. She was in a hospital white gown, and looked as if she and run a marathon with all the perspiration coming of her skin. She was white as a ghost and not the mother I know, A much sicker version, a version I child should never see their parents in. She gives a faint smile and whispers so faintly I could hardly hear. "My darling Edward and Bella" We walk over and sit beside her tell her It was going to be okay, I knew she could see through this lie but she played along to help Bella, to help me get through this. I turn to her and ask my dreaded question.

"What about father, Mother? Did he make it?" She shook her head and I start to sob, Why, why did this have to happen to me, to my family. Just then mother starts to cough and you could tell it was getting hard for her to breath. "don't worry Mother I will go get help, I''ll take the pain away." I run out the door to see the most pail, good looking doctor coming toward me I had ever seen."Doctor, Doctor" I scream, "Please help my mother" to turn back toward the room and walk back to my mothers side as the doctor follows me. He gives her a quick check over and asks to see both of us outside. "Goodbye Mother, I love you so so much. You can beat this" And with that, Bella and me hand in hand walk out with the doctor.

I was walking along the corridor about to start my shift. I had never thought it would be possible have so much control over my blood-lust when I fist become a vampire. But though all my training and years of experience I have and now I am save people and help them get better. It had all come on so fast, the Spanish Influenza had come on so quick, people just dropping so fast, whole family. It was such a tragedy and there was nothing we could do as doctor's. Just then I herd a running and a boy not older than 17 come running out asking for help. Edward Mason, yes I remember his father had passed away last night, all of a sudden, It was one of the quickest cases I had ever seen to come down the in influenza and pass away. I walk into the room and do a quick look over at Elizabeth, It did not look good. Her shallow breaths and pale complexture proved it was not going to be long before she as well left this world. I looked over at Edward, I could tell he was starting the symptoms, "Edward, Would you please say good bye to your mother and come out side please, you too Miss Swan." I walk out side and they follow quickly behind.

"Is their anything you could do doctor? Anything at all?" He looked desperate and so worried that he hadn't notice he had already gone through the first stages of the Influenza. "I am so sorry Edward, there is nothing as else we can do, however I would like you and Miss Swan here to stay the night as it has come to out attention that whole families come down with he Influenza and if we catch it early enough we might get a better advantage." I could sense their shocked and worried as their heart beats started to rise. "If you please go to the nurses station over there and tell them I sent you and they will get you all set up." As they walk off I turn back in to see Elizabeth, the good thing about being a vampire is that I would not get sick and therefore put my whole attention into my work. As I sit next to Elizabeth's bed for the next few hours trying to put her at ease. It was around mid afternoon when she turns towards me and with her last breath she says something that truly shocks me.

"You have to save them, They can not die, they do not deserve to die. You must promise! With all you abilities" She looks at me right into my eyes, and I start to worry that she might know what I am, she couldn't, could she? "Promise me!" I nod my head and let out a small whisper.

"Of course Elizabeth, I will with all my strength." And with that she closes her eyes and lets out a finial breath...
