Chapter 3

EPOV

All I could see was the terror on Bella's face as James charged toward her. I couldn't let him take Bella from me. I ran at him with as much speed as I could muster and slammed into his side, pushing him toward the fire. We were fighting each other and I thought I had the upper hand. I lunged one more time to push him into the fire when his hand clamped down on mine pulling me in with him.

I screamed in agony as the flames devoured my body. The last thing I saw was Bella, my Bella, my love, crying and trying to follow me, and then there was nothing but darkness.

The pain was suddenly gone and I was all alone in the black. Far away a light glow started to appear and grew brighter as it came closer. Where was I?

The glow got brighter the closer it came and I had to shield my eyes from it. Just as I thought my eyes could stand no more the glow eased and there was the most angelic woman standing in front of me.

"MOM?!?" I said in disbelief. "What is this? Where am I?"

"My darling Edward" the woman said in a heavenly voice.

"What is going on here? Mom is that really you?"

"Yes dear. It is me. You are in heaven. You selflessly gave your life to save Bella and for it you were rewarded with heaven."

"Mom, I…I…I don't know what to say."

"Edward, I have something very important to ask you, to offer you. I have watched your life all these years and I have seen how you struggled with yourself until you met Bella. You love her more than anything and even death cannot keep you two apart. For your actions I have been granted permission to send you back to her Edward. You can go back and have a second chance. You get to be human again Edward, that is, if you want it."

"HUH?!?"

"Edward, you can go back, go back to Bella and be with her, as a mortal, if you want."

I couldn't speak so I just nodded my head. I was going to get to be with Bella again. My mother approached me, kissed me softly on the forehead and then let go, I felt like I was falling and the bright light that had surrounded us was fading quickly. I opened my mouth to scream and nothing came out. Then, I blacked out.

The next thing I knew I heard a faint beeping and I felt sore all over. I tried to open my eyes and barely got them open. I could see someone sitting in a chair and that I was in a bed. That was it. I tried to open them more and couldn't. I faded back to the blackness.

*****

"Bella!" I screamed and sat up.

The man sitting in the chair jumped suddenly and looked around.

"Edward! It's ok, you are ok" he said to me. Who was he?

"Bella?" I said again.

"Bella is fine Edward. She is with your family. I am going to go get the doctor" the man said and disappeared out of the room.

The man quickly returned to the room followed by another man in a white coat. It looked oddly familiar but I didn't know why. In fact, all I did know was that my name was apparently Edward and that Bella was ok. Bella…Bella…I could only picture her face and something about the look she held told me she loved me. But that was it.

"Hello Mr. Cullen" the man in the white coat said. "I am Dr. Odom. Charlie found you unconscious in the woods. He brought you here and you have been out for a few days now."

Charlie? That must be the other man in the room. I nodded at him and he smiled briefly at me.

"Edward, do you remember anything?" Dr. Odom asked me.

"Bella" was all I could say.

"Doc, Bella is my daughter; she and Edward were a couple before he disappeared" the man named Charlie explained.

"Oh I see, Edward, do you know what happened to you?" Dr. Odom asked me.

"Nnnn…No" I stuttered.

"Well, Charlie filled me in. Apparently 4 years ago you and your family were out playing ball and there was a bear attack. From what we were told the bear had dragged you off and you were believed to be dead. That is until Charlie found you a few days ago. You don't remember any of this?" Dr. Odom asked with a worried look on his face.

"No doctor" I said shaking my head back and forth. Baseball? Family? Bear? What had happened? Why couldn't I remember?

"Well, I think it would be best if we kept you here for a few days to run some tests" Dr Odom said as I just nodded.

"Doc, if you like, I could take Edward home with me. Maybe jog his memory some after you are done with the tests that is. Would that be alright?" Charlie asked.

"I believe that would be fine" Dr Odom said while making a note on his clipboard and muttering something about amnesia. "I will have the nurse bring in something for Edward to eat and then he needs to get some rest, tomorrow might be a long day for him."

I watched Charlie thank the doctor again and then close the door behind him.

"Who are you?" I asked him after the door was shut.

"Edward, you don't remember me?" he said with a hurt look on his face.

"No, all I can remember is Bella. Who is she?"

"Oh no! Wait, I have a picture of her" Charlie said fumbling with his wallet. He pulled out a picture of a girl and handed it to me. It was the girl in my memory. I stared at the picture, the deep brown eyes, the long silky hair, the pale complexion, and the pouty lips. And I felt something inside me flutter. I closed my eyes and tried to picture her and all of a sudden, pictures of her laughing, crying, hugging and kissing me flooded my mind and I almost lost my breath.

"Are you ok?" Charlie asked me uneasily.

"Y...Yes. I was just remembering something." I said.

"You were remembering Bella?"

"Umm, yes, I saw images of her laughing and hugging me."

"I imagine so; you made her very happy Edward. You were her life" Charlie said quietly.

"Where…umm…where is she?" I asked scared of the answer.

"She left after you disappeared. She moved away with your family. Do you remember your family?"

I shook my head no and said "all I remember is Bella."

"You don't remember your mother, father, and siblings?"

"No, will you tell me about them?" I asked.

"I don't know if the doc will want you to hear everything Edward."

"Please, Charlie is it?" Charlie nodded at me. "Please tell me, I can't remember them at all."

Charlie took a deep breath and began. "Your father is Dr. Carlisle Cullen and your mother is Esme. They adopted you and your brothers and sisters. There is Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie. Bella told me that Rosalie and Jasper were twins and that their last name was Hale. She also told me that Alice and Jasper were a couple and that Rosalie and Emmett were a couple. Your dad used to work here at this hospital."

"What did they look like?"

"Well Carlisle was very young looking and had blond hair. Your mom, Esme, had darker hair and was very lovely and sweet. Ummm, Emmett was big and had dark hair and Rosalie was blond and beautiful. Jasper had blond hair too and it was curly. Then there was Alice, she was Bella's best friend and she had short black hair and was very petite. I remember you guys used to call her Pixie."

Pixie...the pale faced girl Charlie described flashed before my eyes smiling and laughing with Bella and then it was gone.

"Where are they?" I asked Charlie.

"Pennsylvania. They moved there a few weeks after you disappeared. Bella moved with them. I imagine I should call them and tell them that I found you and that you are alive" Charlie said as he stood and reached for the phone.

"NO!" I yelled and Charlie looked at me with confused eyes.

"Why not Edward? They will be so happy to know that you are alive. Bella will not believe it."

"I…I…I don't want them to see me since I can't remember them" I said, afraid to meet his eyes.

"Ok Edward, it's ok. We will take it slow and give you some time" Charlie said sitting back down.

Just then the door opened and a nurse came in with some food and something in a little cup. "Time for your medicine and meal, then back to sleep for you" she said smiling at me.

She handed me the cup and I swallowed the pills, and then drank some water behind them. She looked pleased and set the food tray on my lap and left the room.

I picked it up and smelled it. What was this stuff?

"I know, hospital food isn't the best but it will keep you alive. That oatmeal doesn't look too good though. You should try to eat then get some rest, I think tomorrow is going to be stressful on you. I am going to go home and sleep and I will be back in the morning ok?" Charlie said standing up.

"Ok" I said and he left the room. I still was unsure of the stuff in front of me and cautiously stuck my finger in it. The beige stuff stuck to it and I raised it slowly to my mouth and sucked the stuff off of it. It wasn't that bad and then I felt a dull pain begin in my stomach. I picked up the spoon and ate it quickly. Then my eyes began to feel heavy and before I knew it I was drifting off again. My head filled with images of this girl Bella and she consumed my mind as I slept.

*****

The next few days were spent with test after test. I grew tired of being pricked and poked and prodded and finally the doctor decided that my memory would come back in time and that I was safe to be released to Charlie.

I had grown fond of him over the last few days. He was always there when I woke up and didn't leave until I was going to sleep. We talked endlessly about my family and as he described them more and more I began to have faint memories of them. Something about them was a little off though, they seemed unusually pale in my mind and I didn't know why.

Charlie talked about people that Bella and I had gone to school with and when he mentioned the name Mike Newton my hands balled up reflexively. Then I was hit with another memory, Mike looking at Bella like she was dinner instead of a woman.

Charlie noticed my fists and informed me that the guy named Mike Newton had been arrested for vandalism and was in jail for it. I don't know why, but that comforted me.

*****

Charlie was waiting for me when the doctor released me. He took me outside and led the way to a police car and I was hit with another image, Charlie sitting at his table cleaning a gun while Bella introduced me to him.

"Ummm, Charlie, are there any guns in there?" I asked him.

"What?" he said with a puzzled look on his face.

"I…umm…I just remembered something, you were cleaning a gun in a room and Bella and I were there."

Charlie burst out laughing and explained. "That was the first time Bella brought you over to introduce you to me. I was playing the concerned father bit. I was never going to shoot you Edward and I won't now either." Charlie stepped forward and patted me on the back and I liked the way it felt.

I got into the car with him and we headed down the road. Within a few minutes we were pulling up to a small house. Charlie got out and led the way inside. The inside of the house wasn't much, a plain kitchen with a table and chairs. Off of the kitchen was the living room and there was a couch and a chair. There were stairs at the end of the hallway. I was standing there taking it all in when I collapsed.

Memories:

Bella and I were laying on the couch, my arms wrapped around her. Bella and I laying in a bed cuddling and laughing, the smell of flowers surrounding me. Me crawling through Bella's bedroom window and sitting in a rocking chair, watching her sleep. Me down on one knee in the same bedroom asking her to marry me. Bella crying and calling my name in her sleep. Bella saying "I love you" to me.

I collapsed on the floor and Charlie rushed to me. "Edward are you alright?" he asked while helping me up and into the living room.

"I am fine Charlie; I was just remembering Bella, here, in this house. I have to see her Charlie. Where is she?" I pleaded with him.

"She moved to Pennsylvania with your family. Edward, let me call them and tell them you are ok" Charlie said.

"No Charlie, I need to get there now" I said.

"Why can't we tell them Edward?

"I...what if...how would I...Charlie! What if Bella has moved on? What if she doesn't love me anymore? I don't want to ruin her life again. Please don't tell them Charlie. I need to see them and see if they have moved on before I ruin anyone's life again."

"Edward, you could never ruin anyone's life."

"What about Bella, I know I did. I had to of. Please Charlie, don't tell them, just help me."

Charlie just nodded and said "ok, let's get you a plane ticket."
