Sophie x
Bella POV
Beep beep beep.
Hello?
Beep beep beep.
What's going on?
Beep beep beep.
Numbness, I can't feel a thing.
All I can hear is this beep.
I can feel this beeping through my bones.
It's... irritating.
Extremely irritating.
Beep beep beep.
Eugh!
"Bella? Bella?" A voice - soft, purring. But miles away, I can't find it. No way can I find it.
Beep beep beep.
I squirmed to find it, but I couldn't move. Couldn't feel a thing.
"Bella, please?"
I'm sorry. I can't find you. Help me? Please? I felt desperate. The numbness engulthed me like a shell. It was like a wall, I could see the door out of it, but the handle is broken. I can't open that door.
'Bella.' The voice. So familiar. It reminded me of someone. Someone I lost a long time ago – but it can't be. Pull yourself together Bella!
Beep beep beep beep beep.
Louder. Faster. Am I dying? Is this death? Is that why I'm hearing voices.
Beeeeeeeep.
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
I saw nothing. Then I saw everything. Paradise. But it felt like the end of the world. There is no Jasper here. I felt my body lifting upwards. But I didn't want to go. I needed Jasper.
"Bella, don't die – please!"
Okay. I'll come back. I never wanted to leave anyway.
'Bella, open your eyes. You're going to be fine. It's not your time to die today. Live well, darling.'
Bye grandmother.
BOOM
Beep beep beep.
"Bella please. You can live!"
I want to. I just don't know how. 'Open my eyes'. Would be nice if I could locate them!
"You're awake! Thank god"
Found them. That was easy, but all I see is blur. Or maybe, there is nothing to see. Nothing is focusing. Then I saw Jasper. Well I think I did.
"I love you Bella"
Everything went black once again.
What Happened? My eyes burst open. No one's here. I'm alone. Once again, alone. They left me to die and I have no idea where I am. I can't move. I can't think. But oh my gosh, I'm going to die aren't I. Charlie killed me, I woke up in heaven. No hell, heaven would have people with me. So I'm dead. Christ. I believe in god, I went to Sunday school! Now I'm in hell. Sheeesh.
I looked at my body. An IV? Needles. They stabbed me with needles. I really am going to die.
Beep beep beep.
So that's what the beeping was. My heart beat on a machine screen thingy. What is it? Why can't I remember?
Yesterday – if it was yesterday, I was with Jasper... they are vampires. I can remember that. And Maddi, yeah she's safe. I fell, that's what happened.
I looked around the room and saw another object – I couldn't quiet place. I chuckled at myself.
The door opened, and in walked Jasper.
"I thought you were awake – and I was right."
"What happened?" My voice sounded strange to me, foreign. I needed a drink so bad.
"You tripped and fell down the stairs, only, no one saw you to catch you and you fell too quickly and awkwardly. I'm sorry, here let me pour you some water" He poured it into a plastic cup and it trickled down my throat. It was an amazing feeling – when you're that thirsty anyway.
"I'm not in pain. Is that the IV?" I was curious.
"I'm your own brand of pain relief, remember?"
"No... Yes.... maybe..."
"Bella? What is it?"
"Small things..."
"Maybe I should call Charlise in here, yeah, I think I might, I won't leave –" But before he finished I was gone, lost unconsciousness again. Spiralling ever downward into nothingness. I knew he never left me side though, I felt his presence his every move.
Even though I was unconscious, it wasn't like a sleep, I could feel everything. However all my other senses had gone. Then, when I had the courage to let go, I did, knowing I wouldn't wake up for a while.
(AN: I knew it was harsh to leave it there, like I was planning to, so I made this longer, cos I'm nice like that and all)
Eventually I woke up, not as slow as before, this was fast and rapid. I bolted upright, pulling the IV forward.
"Bella, lay down please." Jaspers eyes pleaded.
"I'm fine, can you take this out of me please?" Jaspers eyes widened, he reached into his jeans pocket and found a phone.
"Charlise? Yeah, she's fine. I know. She wants the IV out. I can? WHAT? Okay, thanks, see you soon, bye" he hung up. I was curious of what he had said. I was about to ask when Jasper came over. He placed one finger on his lips, motioning silence, and lightly held down the arm as he ripped the IV out of my hand sending pain relief to me in piles. Overall, it didn't hurt.
He held me in his arms, and ran out of the hospital, people in scrubs, patients, receptionists and even visitors whizzed past me as we glided into the moonlight and back to the house, I was so tired with everything that had happened that when I awoke I was on a sofa in the living room of the Cullen house. Totally pain free. I was back to normal and fine. They filled me in with everything, and I told them what I heard and saw. They were in awe.
Maddi was sitting next to me with Alice on the sofa, when she had a vision, her eyes wide her mouth open - in shock as the doorbell rang. Charlise resumed human nature and went to get the door. Nobody asking what Alice saw. She grabbed my hand, squeezing lightly.
"Dr. Cullen?" A weird voice, filled with authority answered.
"Yes, sir. That's me."
"Were the FBI. We want to know why there's a angry man with red eyes locked in a cell right now, saying you kidnapped his daughters , can we talk inside?"
"Yeah, sure."
Jasper and Alice took me and Maddi upstairs in a room, Alice was holding on to me and Maddi whilst Jasper was pacing saying stuff like, "Why them?" and "What if.."
Maddi was crying, and I was in a desperate ache for a razor blade. Overly desperate. But they'd sense the blood, so I decided against it. I stuck with my fantasies. Jasper went quiet all of a sudden and so did Alice. Me and Maddi followed suit, hoping we'd hear.
Rosalie POV
I had desperate need for a child for so many years, and now I can help revive Madison, and now these FBI want to take her away from me. I didn't think I could live, I knew Jasper wouldn't without Bella either. She needed reviving to, however Bella was older, and she needed someone like Jasper. Madison is different, younger, more emotionally abused, more filled with scars. But I'd never say Bella had it easy.
"You do not have custody over Isabella and Madison Swan." Rambled the FBI dude. He was starting to piss me off. Emmett next to me, was protecting the girls as much as any one of us would. We could hear Madison's crying and Jaspers rants – it was painful.
"There father is no longer able to cope with them. He abused the two girls, we've been watching them. We'll fight for their custody." Esme defended, tears in her eyes.
The FBI guy locked eyes with her, "Sorry ma'am. You are no longer allowed to look after these children."
"Bella's not a Child! She's 17!" Emmet protested.
"She's a child, until she's 18 in my book, and according to this piece of paper in my pocket. She's not 18 till September. To long away, it's November now. That's nearly a year."
"Please, we rescued Bella and Maddi – out of the kindness of our hearts, please don't take them away from us" I intervened, pulling my best puppy dog eyes. At this point everything upstairs was silent, I'm going to give them a show. I apologised to my husband in a vampiric low tone. He nodded. I went up to this innocent, annoying pre-adolescent minded adult.
I touched his leg, and then his hip, caressed his cheek and stroked his hair. He groaned and moaned. I ignored that. "We need Maddi and Bella, please" He remained persistent. "No."
"Who's paying you?" Edward said.
"How'd you know that?" The FBI man said scared.
"Whose paying you?!" Anger reaching Edwards tone.
"No –one." The FBI man was frozen.
Edward jumped him, pinned him against the wall. The FBI man was as white as ghost, with a thick layer of sweat dripping from him. "WHO'S PAYING YOU?" Edward roared. Emmett was next to the FBI man, glaring him straight in the eye with a death stare.
"Miranda."
I, Edward and Emmet, exchanged looks, the rest of the family knew what this meant, we had told them about what happened the night we rescued Bella and Maddi. It was strange to think that was 2 days ago.
Edward still had him against the wall, in an iron lock. "Who's Miranda?" The FBI guy shook his head a lot. Edward pushed him further up the wall, his feet no longer touching the floor. The FBI guy was shaking. Jasper glided down the stairs, "Do you realise the panic and fear he's sending out, is enough to reach Volterra and back?" Edward laughed. "Good."
Jasper smiled evilly, whilst the FBI man screamed. "What did you do?" Emmet said curiously, we were all curious to be fair. Jasper didn't move.
I sent all the fear and panic, he's sending out back into him for an under a second. It's enough to have hi m in hysterics.
"Then why aren't you scared, Jasper" Charlise asked gently.
"How can I be scared of you guys?" He grinned goofily.
Oh my gosh, my family.
Edward moved the FBI man up another inch. Then his eyes rolled inward, with a sheet of white and the guys head flopped forward. Charlise walked over, and checked his pulse.
The man was dead. Edward searched his pockets, and found something stuck in his leg. An injection, the man's hand still wrapped round it. He committed suicide.
Who gave him that injection? But most importantly, who's Miranda?
"I don't know. But I know where to start." Edward annonced.
