Chapter 11
I woke disoriented. Even though I knew I was still in the hospital it seemed different in the dark. Outside darkness covered Forks and the only light was the small amount that was coming in through the blinds from the nurse's station. I shifted my position in the bed and winced as a stab of pain seared up my leg. Taking some deep breaths I attempted to concentrate on something else. Edward. Only instead of feeling all lovely my mind drifted back to the confession he made yesterday. It only made me feel worse.
I closed my eyes and tried counting sleep in a vain attempt to get back to sleep. There was a light knock at the door and Carlisle came in. He smiled at me. I looked at him quizzically, he shrugged, "I heard you rustling about." I nodded, forgetting that he heard things a lot better than everyone else. "How are you feeling?"
I shrugged, "Not too bad I guess, only hurts when I move." I smiled weakly, "well at least no one will have to worry about me know, it's not like I can move anything."
Carlisle opted to ignore my pathetic attempts at a joke so he turned his attention to my chart, "well it has been a few hours since your last batch of pain killers so I can give you some more, if you need."
I shook my head, "I really just need someone to talk to" maybe he could shed some light on Edward, "if you're not too busy that is" I added.
Carlisle smiled and then sat down next to the bed, "I'm not busy at the moment and I'm happy to answer questions for you Bella, but there are some things that I will not answer because you need to talk to Edward."
I nodded; well at least I might get some answers. "Edward told me what happened…" I started but then broke off, I wasn't even sure what I want ask. I just knew I needed answers. Carlisle seemed to sense my conflict but politely said nothing while I contemplated what to say next.
My mind drifted back to questions that plagued my mind after my dream, "you have known Edward for a long time," that sounded really stupid, he didn't say anything so I continued attempting to make it sound better than it first did, "do you think he will kill?"
Carlisle looked shocked at my question, maybe he thought I was going to go straight to the question was Edward going to kill me. I sighed, maybe I should explain my dream to him and then maybe whole situation would make a bit more sense. "I had this dream," I started, "after Edward told me what happened." Carlisle seemed a little more interested in this and lent forward in his chair just a little, "I was running from someone with a white face," Carlisle nodded knowing I was talking about a vampire, "and then he told me that no matter how long I run for he would always catch me. He had red eyes." I paused, I really didn't want to disclose to Carlisle that it was Edward who was chasing me, I sighed, "it was Edward."
Carlisle leaned back against the chair and put his hands to his mouth in contemplation. "Do you think he will kill?" I asked again after a moment of silence.
"Bella, I honestly cannot say whether he will or not." He considered his choice of words, "I really think you will have to ask him that."
"I didn't really want to tell him about the dream." I said feeling guilty. "I'm afraid that he will just leave again because he will think he will cause me damage."
"I honestly wish I could help you Bella. But I cannot read minds. I have no idea what is going through his mind at the moment, only he does." He stood up, "I really should be getting back to my rounds, the sun is almost up and it is supposed to be sunny again today."
I nodded and he left the room. I was alone, again. I looked out the window; the sun was starting to rise. Too bad really, another nice day in Forks and I'm suck in a hospital. I closed my eyes. Sleep would be the best thing because I wouldn't be getting any visitors today. Damn sun.
