"So..." I asked Edward as we sat on his bed talking. "You have never played truth or dare before? Or would you rather?"
"No," Edward laughed. "I guess I'm a little old fashion."
"Yeah, just a little," I laughed with him. Things have changed for us. We could talk and laugh with each other but that's about it, I really wish it could be more. Elizabeth found out about the lake soon after it happened but instead of yelling she just nodded like she knew it was going to happen sometime.
"Hey, I was only eight when I got here!" Edward started defending himself.
"Yeah, well, I was nine!"
"And a girl guys didn't do that kind of stuff," Edward said calming down.
"Okay, fine you win" I sighed. "Only this time, though. Next time I'm going to beat you."
This is something Edward and I did on a normal basis. We would go into a fight, or a debate I guess, and see who could go on the longest. Normally it would be about stupid things that I did before I came here and vise verse.
"You wish," Edward muttered rolling his eyes, which is something that he learned from me.
"Hey!" I yelled at him slapping him on his arm.
"Oh, your going to be in trouble," he trailed off. He then pushed me down on the bed and started tickling me, something he frond very amusing. The room was filled with my laugh
"Edward! Bella!"Eddie called for us from outside the room. Edward immediately stopped tickling me and stood up.
"Come in," Edward said and the door opened.
Eddie walked in and eyed me laying down on the bed. Then his eyes trailed up to my hair which was now a mess from thrashing under Edward's grip.
"Some suit cases washed up on shore and I thought that you guys should get the stuff that me and Elizabeth could not carry."
Edward nodded, and Eddie left the room but not before eyeing me one last time.
Edward and I walked down to the beach in silence. But it was fine we were walking so close that whenever I moved my right arm it would brush his shoulder and when he would move his left arm it would do it same to me.
When we got to beach, I gasped. When Eddie said that bags washed ashore I thought that he only meant bags. But that's not only thing I saw. There was a little wooden life boat. There was a huge wooden stake going through the bottom of the boat, tilting it up just enough so that I could see the bottom. A single thought continued to go through me head.
Someone died.
They must have died on their way here.
I slowly walked over to the side of the boat and bent down. Edward was right behind me and I could feel his warm breath on the back of my neck, as I opened the suitcase.
I could feel tears gathering in my eyes as I looked down. One half of the suitcase was full of pink baby girl clothes, the other full of blue boy clothes. There was a baby, an infant.
On the side of the suitcase I could see the sides of a little stack of pictures. I picked them up.
I looked at the first and saw a very pregnant lady maybe in her mid thirty's. She had beautiful brown hair and light blue eyes. The second was a picture of two little girls that looked about 4 and 8. It was obvious these were the lady's daughters. The one that looked about 8 had brown hair and brown eyes. Right below her picture in neat handwriting was the name Hannah. The 4 year old had curly brown hair and dark blue eyes. Right below her was the name Vanessa. The next picture was of the lady again but with a man with his arm around her waist. The man must have been Hannah and Vanessa's father. The last picture was of all of them in a bedroom that was painted yellow. There was a little pink crib in one corner and a blue one in the other.
"They were expecting twins," I whispered. I turned around and put my head into Edward's chest. He just nodded. I don't know how long we stayed like that, but then a whisper that was so quiet that it was barley heard.
"Did you hear that?" I asked and stood up.
"No," Edward shook his head.
"Help me," A lady's voice crocked.
I wounded out of Edward's grasp and jogged over to the unheard voice.
At the other side of the beach there was a women on her back. The women I saw in the picture. Still pregnant.
I knelt down next to her. Her brown hair was in a knot at the top of her head. Her breathing was ragged, and when I checked her pulse her heart was barley beating.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Sally," she chocked out. "Davidson."
"Were your children or husband with you?" I asked her.
She shook her head, "No. Ben was at home with Hannah and Vanessa." Then she almost smiled. "Just the ones I have here."
I nodded.
"Can you save them?" Sally looked me straight in the eye as she asked this.
"I'm not a doctor," The tears were pouring out of my eyes now. I looked behind me and saw that Edward was still looking at the pictures. "Edward! Get over here!"
Edward looked up from the pictures then and looked at me confused as if he didn't realize I left his grasp until that moment. He then saw Sally laying down on the ground. Panic shoot through his face as the he got off the ground and sprinted over here faster then I have ever seen him in the seven years I've been here.
Edward knelt down next to Sally and put two figures on her neck to take her pulse. When he looked into my eyes and I saw a scared look in his green eyes eyes.
"I'm going to get my dad," Edward said through a strained voice. He then got up and sprinted to the woods without looking back at us once.
"He's...not going to be able to help them. Is he?" she stated it more as a statement then a question. But I choose to answer anyway.
"We will do everything in our power," I said giving her a weak smile. She gave me a non teeth smile that looked as if that little movement caused her pain.
"Let's talk about your daughters, Hannah and Vanessa right?"
Sally nodded and smiled, "They are the sweetest little things in the world. They are so smart too. Hannah is only eight years old but she is in fourth grade. She was...to intelligent for second grade so she skipped it. She says that..." she stopped to catch her breath but winced as she took a breath in. "she knows everything in fourth grade already. Vanessa is going to start school in the fall but at the prekindergarten parent meeting the teacher... said the Vanessa just might skip a grade just like... Hannah did." she then got a sad look on her face. "They even helped to narrow done the names for the twins."
"What are they?"
She took in one big shaky breath," for the girl it was, Raven, Kirsten, and Ivy. For a boy, Travis, Justin, and Ryder."
I smiled at her, "Those are really pretty names." I commented.
I then heard feet patted on the ground in a very fast rhythm and I knew that they were almost back. "They are almost hear," I said.
She nodded and closed her eyes for a second and her breathing steadied before jolting up again as if her body and her brain were fighting for control.
Just then Edward, Eddie and Elizabeth came running through the clearing of the woods. Elizabeth was last because she was wearing her favorite article of clothing. A skit the was long and flowing that went to her feet. The design was a flowery red and blue, it looked nice on her.
"Your going to be okay," Eddie whispered to Sally as he knelt next to her just as me and Edward had done.
Sally nodded. And Edward walked over a went in the same position that his father was in. I got up and went to sand next to Elizabeth who was a little farther back behind the guys.
"What's her name?" Elizabeth whispered in my ear.
"Sally," I answered only loud enough so she could hear but not whispering. "And she has a husband, and two daughters who are eight and four, Hannah and Vanessa. She is also pregnant with twins."
"Twins?" she gasped.
I nodded and opened my mouth to answer, but was cut of by in ear piercing scream. Sally.
