Chapter 8

Bella POV

When I had fully grieved for Charles, I made sure I had his ashes around my neck, and set off once more. This time, arriving in Wisconsin.

The year was 1922, and spring was everywhere. The trees were in full bloom, cherry blossom tress covered in pink, nature truly was amazing.

But soon, evil thoughts entered my head and ruined it. Mankind was cruel to its own species and others; it was everywhere, poisoning all good things. Shaking my head, I wondered how humanity would ever survive.

I decided to go somewhere to get away from the thoughts, wishing this gift was more specified, so I could turn the thoughts off. It really got annoying...

So, I went to the cliffs, where I knew no one would be, it would be peaceful. After a few hours, the sun started to set. The sky turned to fire, splashed with grey. Twilight had arrived. But, a heartbeat came along, at the edge of the cliff next to me.

Once I ran over, I gave myself the power for seeing into the past, and saw her baby boy, William, had died from diphtheria three days ago. She was in grief, and so decided to end her life, having nothing left to live for, after leaving her abusive husband. I gasped, and she heard. "Hello? Is someone there? Come on out!" She sounded so scared! I decided to show myself, maybe I could stop the inevitable from happening, stupid visions...

Esme's POV

A little girl stepped out the cover of the trees, she was only about ten, but she looked so sweet and beautiful, like an angel. I couldn't help but wonder what she was doing out here on the cliffs. Was she an angel here to stop me from jumping? Or just here by chance? She had me thinking about my little William, how he fit into my arms so easily, only to be taken away again so soon after being given. I decided I needed to say something, "Hello, dear? May I help you? You shouldn't be out here alone, little one." She seemed to be amused, was it something I said? "I'm here to help you, you don't need to do this." My eyes widened, how could she know I was here to jump? "You don't understand, I have nothing left. My child has just died, and I ran away from my husband, I'm a disgrace, so I can't go back," my tone showing I was in pain. "This is the only choice left for me," I said quietly, stepping closer to the edge, my heels feeling the edge of the cliff. She looked alarmed at how close I was to jumping. "Please! You can't! Think of what William would want you to do." I froze. How did she know his name? "How did you know his name?" I whispered, as I took a step back and realised my mistake, as it threw me off the cliff with the little girl screaming at me.

Bella POV

As she fell off the edge of the cliff, I screamed at her and ran at the cliff, but it was too late and my arms weren't long enough to grab her. I already felt like I needed to help her. I watched as she fell to the flat ground, roughly 50 feet, it was in slow motion as I watched her flail her arms and legs, and she landed flat on her back; I could hear the sickening snap of her spine from up here. There was no way I could help her now!

I jumped off the cliff and landed with a low thud onto the ground besides the lady whose name I still did not and probably never will know.

The lady, who looked around 26 years old, was barely breathing, and her heart was failing fast. I knew that without venom, she would die, seeing as her spine was broken. I couldn't damn her to this eternal hell, so I decided to take her to the hospital, even though I knew she would just go straight to the morgue.

I dragged her to the hospital and shouted for help, bringing three large men running. Once they left with her, I watched them check her pulse, shake their head, and tell the nurse to get someone to take her down to the morgue.

That was one of the worst days of my eternal existence.

1931

I had left Wisconsin a few years ago and was now in Ohio... hunting Edward. You see, in 1928 he for some reason acted like a stupid bratty seventeen year old and started hunting humans for he resented Carlisle for curbing his appetite.

I found his rather... disturbing thoughts in an alleyway just one block away, so, when no on was looking, put up an illusion of a blonde fifteen year old girl, heartbeat and all, and walked around the block a few times till I heard a human stalking me, his thoughts confirming his intentions.

Edward soon caught on to Robert's thoughts and saw me through them. I walked to an alleyway and both men followed. Robert then came up to me, and I smelt alcohol on his breath. "Hey, sugar, how about a little fun?" I had to act scared to make sure I behaved like a human should. "N-No, l-leave me alone!" All he did was smile. "I think not, you pretty little girl." "And I don't think so, you disgusting chap." I knew that voice, and that Edward was here to 'rescue' me, even though I would have been fine myself.

As fast as lightning, Edward vampire sped over to Robert and started to drink his blood. I just kept my face looking shocked, and put the illusion that my heart beat was speeding up too.

When he finished drinking, he looked up to me, showing his bright crimson eyes, but with a pain and sorrow so deep, it cut right through me. Wait, I shouldn't be feeling these things...

"Edward," he froze as I said his name, "go home to Carlisle and Esme. This is not the path you should be on, it brings you great sorrow. Stop acting like a jackass and being stubborn and go back to where they reside." "Isabella?" "Carlie certainly told you things about me, didn't he? Though you might just have read it in his mind. Think about it. Go home, Edward."

His mind was made up. He sped off in the direction of where Carlisle and Esme were waiting, while I took the illusion off, and thought about how I just made three lives better for the time being, and helping my dear friend without him knowing.

Just to tell you in case you don't know what diphtheria is, it's a disease that basically makes mucus clog up the throat till you suffocate from not being able to breathe. It kills you slowly, but there wasn't a vaccine for it in those days.

Hope you liked it, next time we see Bella is 1933, Rochester. I wonder if you can guess...
