Here is ch. 6... sorry it's kinda late for an update... I had been deprived of my laptop for the day... :)


Edward POV... 2 days since he arrived...

Bella didn't move at all yesterday other than to clamp her jaw and a few hand twitches. It's 12:28 in the afternoon. The family was worried about Bella but a bit bored. Alice and Jasper are out for a short hunt. Rose and Emmett moved to their room. Esme continued to clean the completely spotless house. Carlisle moved to his study about an hour ago. I understand their reasons for leaving the room, obviously since I can read their minds. They hated seeing Bella like this.

I do too but I can't leave her side. Never again will I leave her side. The last time I left it practically killed her. She turned into a ghost for close to 2 days. Bella's jaw clamped shut with a snap and her hand twitched. Her body stiffened and she arched her back a bit. Her breathing became heavy and erratic. Her lips fell open in a silent scream. A second later she arched her back off of the couch and squeezed my hand as she let out a blood curdling scream.

My un-beating heart clenched at the sound. I swear if she had screamed any louder she would start my heart again. Her scream lasted for about 2 minutes before she collapsed back onto the couch. Her breathing was heavy and her heart was beating rather fast. I laid my hand on her forehead and peeled her sweaty hair off her forehead.

"I'm sorry. I love you." I whispered over and over.

A minute later I swear she whispered, "I know."

"Do you hear that?" I asked Esme who was in the room cleaning the invisible cobwebs.

"Yeah, she said 'I know'." Esme said, distracted. I nodded in agreement and relief that I wasn't just hearing things.

"Edward, do you see any cobwebs?" Esme asked me as she looked around.

"No Esme, but you haven't cleaned the chandelier in a while." I said. She whipped around and narrowed her eyes at the chandelier.

"GAH!" She gasped as she noticed how 'dirty' it was. It was really only dusty and a few of the light bulbs were out. She ran around the house getting everything she needed.

I looked back at Bella who had a small smile on her lips. I placed a kiss on her forehead and then rested my head on her stomach. A minute later Jasper and Alice walked in. Jasper had his arm draped over Alice and it looked like she was supporting most of his weight.

"What happened to him?" I asked.

"When Bella screamed we were at the edge of the yard and he crumpled to the ground in pain." Alice said. They sat by Bella's head and Jasper laid his head on the back of the couch looking completely exhausted. After a while Rose and Emmett joined us. As they came down the stairs they watched Esme continue to clean the chandelier.

"What's she doing?" Emmett asked.

"Cleaning the chandelier." Jasper said.

"I know, but why?" Emmett asked.

"Because Edward pointed out it was dirty." Esme said as she changed the last light bulb. Everyone looked at me and gave me that, 'why would you say that' look.

"It was dirty. She asked if I saw any cobwebs and I didn't, so I pointed out the chandelier." I said in defense. Esme climbed down the ladder and looked at the chandelier. Alice's eyes glazed over and she smiled.

"Esme, we can go clean the yard. It will stop raining in about 5 minutes." Alice said. Esme smiled and looked out the window. She gasped at how 'dirty' the yard was. Esme waited impatiently for 5 whole minutes for the rain to stop. The second it did she ran out the door in her gardening clothes, rake in hand.

The rest of the day passed rather uneventfully. Bella's jaw clamped a few times but she didn't scream again. Until midnight...


Alright...

I want to see how much you guys think you know about what's going to happen.. So here is a line from the next chapter...

As another scream ripped though the silence I heard someone's thoughts. I sat up just a bit and looked out the back window. It wasn't any of my family.

I want you to try and guess...

Review!
