N/A: Thanks again for all your reviews! Yeah, I hate Jake too! Just to clarify, Bella doesn't sleep (she's a vampire), but Jake manages to knock her out. When Edward says sleep now Bella, it's because morphine still works on vampires (Carlisle had given her some morphine). Whoever pointed that out- well done you! Good observation…But that's how I'm going to explain it! Lol
Chapter 11: Reawakening
"Shit." I sat up slowly, easing myself to. Everything ached, like I'd been thrown against a brick wall. I hadn't thought it possible for a vampire to ache. What the hell was wrong with me? I looked around the white room, dazed. I realised I must have been taken to the Edward's bed after….There was something wrong with the house though. It was empty.
"Edward?" I called, as I climbed slowly off the bed. I nearly collapsed, my limbs ached so much. I tried to walk, only to fall limply back to the bed. I sighed. This probably wouldn't be as easy as I thought, but I really needed to find Edward!
"Edward? Alice? Emmet? Hello?" Anybody would do now, I just needed SOMEONE!
I walked out into the hall, looking around. No-one out here either. I went into Alice's room.
Alice's room faced the opposite direction to Edward's. Hers faced the front garden, but despite not having the wall of glass, her room was airy and light. It suited her personality. Three of the four walls were white, and one of them was a light shade of lilac. Against the far wall was a white and lilac bed (all for show), and a state-of-the-art surround sound system. A plush carpet covered the floor.
On the wall facing the windows was a large walk in wardrobe. I'd found my destination. I walked quickly towards the wardrobe, and, after some rifling, found an item of clothing that actually fit me. Despite my fairly small size, Alice was just so much smaller!
Now fully dressed, I walked around the house, calling the names of my new family. There didn't appear to be anyone around. I sighed.
I was in the living room now, and flopped down on the sofa to watch some T.V. The television had never really held much interest for me, but I decided I had nothing better to do. I flicked to a program about wolfs. Slightly ironic, I thought. It was fairly boring. I flicked again; The Simpson's, Family Guy, Oprah. There was nothing of any real interest on. Suddenly, a new program caught my attention.
"This is the 10'o'clock news, I'm Conrad Bigly, and these are today's headlines. A mountain hiker has disappeared around the area of Forks, Washington. Michael Lawson was last seen in the area just two hours prior to his disappearance. The police suspect wolf activity. In other news….."
I turned it off, not interested in the rest of the news. I was only interested in the wolf activity. I wondered whether Jake or the La Push wolves had anything, but I dismissed the idea, thinking it was probably a misunderstanding, like when I first discovered werewolves.
I spent another hour flicking through channels, but I was getting restless. I was really starting to worry about the Cullen's. I consoled myself with the thought that they were probably hunting. Getting up, I walked slowly to the back wall, staring out at the garden. I chafed my arms, just for something to do. I was bored stiff.
I hurt a loud noise behind me, and spun around to see Alice's yellow Porsche squeal up the drive. I was frozen in shock for a split second, and then pelted vampire speed out the door. I rushed towards the car.
Opening her door for her, I peered in to see a rather flushed Alice and Esme.
"Bella! Oh thank God you're all right!" Esme pulled me to her, great shudders shaking her body. She couldn't cry, but I had a stranger feeling that, in a way, she was.
"Bella, we're so sorry we left you, but we had to go. Edward went, and then Carlisle chased after him, and then the wolves showed up and..." Alice was garbling everything at me at hyper-speed, even for a vampire.
"Alice! Just calm down. Speak slowly. I'm not physic." I cracked a wry smile at that, but it was replaced a second later by fear. Alice actually looked frightened.
"I'm sorry Bella, it's just…." She started panting. I think she may have been hyper-ventilating.
"Alice, what are you trying to say?" I looked at her, concerned.
"Bella, Edward has disappeared."
N/A: Sorry to leave it on a bit of a cliff-hanger there! Sorry I didn't update last night, it's just I was so busy. You know how it is…
