A/N

Hey guys! First off, thanks for all the reviews! Again, if you just want to make a quick comment, it's appreciated greatly! Anyways, onto the next chapter!

Disclaimer: I own nothing…sadly.

I awoke in Edward's grand bed, surrounded in darkness. I looked to my right, out the window wall, only to see the faint shadow of the trees against the night sky. I heard the quiet whisper of the wind, and the faint pat pat pat of a sprinkling rain against the window. I then noticed a cool arm draped gently over my shoulder. I looked back into the darkness, trying to find Edward. Once I sought out his hand, I pulled him closer to me.

Our lips touched softly. Edward was being different tonight; he was much more cautious, even more so than usual. I briefly wondered why, before all the previous day's events came running back to me.

"Oh!" I sat up quickly, only to fall back down again as the ache in my ribs flared up and my head began to pound once more. Edward's arms quickly wrapped around me, holding me to his side.

"You need to rest, love. Try not to move for a while."

"What…what exactly happened to me?"

He sighed. The sound was not angelic as usual, instead this time it was clouded with…pain? Was Edward in pain? Oh my God how could I be focusing on myself when…

Edward's voice cut through my inner rambling. "You broke three ribs, sprained your wrist, have bruises…everywhere," He seemed to have a hard time telling me about all this.

"And cracked your head open. Carlisle had to put two layers of stitches on, just to cover it up."

"And you?"

Edward seemed confused. "What about me, Bella?"

And so all my questions began. "Are you hurt? Did anyone get hurt? Your family, Jacob, the pack…? Were the newborns hard to fight? Was it easy or not? Did they-"

Edward's quiet laughter filled the room. He kissed the tip of my nose. "Bella, it took all of twenty minutes to kill them all off. Everyone is perfectly fine. Well," He paused. "Not everyone."

I looked into his beautiful topaz eyes as he spoke once more. "Bella, I…I am so sorry. You have no idea how horrible I feel about all of this. I can't believe I was stupid enough to think you would be safe there, alone. I'm incredibly grateful to Seth, and Jacob, for saving you. If you weren't here right now…I wouldn't be able to live with myself, much less live without you."

I smiled a small smile, and lent forward to press my lips to his. He pulled away too soon, but I was too exhausted to push it.

"You couldn't have known, Edward. Things are going to happen that neither of us can expect nor prepare for. You helped so much to save me from Victoria, just by fighting the newborns. So thank you." I smiled.

"Anytime, love. Anytime." And then Edward pressed his cool lips to mine once more.

A/N

I know, I know! Incredibly short. But the next chapter will be the final one, and from Edward's POV. And then I'll probably start on another story or maybe a few one-shots. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE review! I'll update faster!
