.A/N: YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST!!!! THANK YOU FOR BEING SO AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

Recap:

"Bella, what's wrong?" He asked, starting to get alarmed. I was starting to feel a little numb. The forest turned upside down and I felt my head leave Edward's.

"Bella!" was the last thing I heard before the darkness took me again.

Shock!

Would she be

Like the one I see?

Could I have been

The cause of this?

Damien's POV (A/N: Sorry, I feel more comfortable writing from his POV)

"Edward! Calm down!" I said for about the millionth time in the last fifty seconds. We were back in the hospital and Bella was in her bed, still unconscious to his madness. He'd been pacing up and down the room in anxiousness ever since we came back.

"I can't. She's comatose!" He panicked.

"Edward! She's human! Carlisle told you that was normal for her case." I groaned when he shook his head and kept pacing faster. I've seen her faint before, many times. It was really normal for her case, so I wasn't panicking; I knew she would wake up after a few minutes.

Edward stopped suddenly and turned to stare at me. I furrowed my eyebrows and cocked my head questioningly. His face became unreadable and I knew he was trying to put a mask to his pain.

"What was it like?" he whispered finally. I didn't understand what he meant by that. He looked at Bella and whispered, "What was she like?"

And I blocked my thoughts. I started singing the chicken dance in my head in different languages, so he wouldn't know the answer to that question.

He turned back to me, his eyes narrowed in pain, "Please?"

I chewed on the inside of my cheek, not knowing if I should let him see. I mean, he does have the right to know, but wouldn't that hurt him? Wouldn't that provoke the vampire in him to show again? Wouldn't I be increasing his pain? I cringed from the last one.

"No, please. I really need to know," he pleaded.

I still wasn't sure.

He sighed and came to sit on the chair next to mine. He spread his legs and leaned his elbows on his knees. He intertwined his fingers in front him as he hunched forward. "Don't you think…" he spoke as he stared at is fingers, "that I should know how much damage I inflicted, so that I can mend it?" He had me there. He glared at his fingers as he talked. I knew it would be hard for him, but I was also aware that he should know. He had the right to. Plus, he was right… he should know exactly what had happened so he could fix it.

I sighed in defeat. "Thank you, Damien," he whispered as he closed his eyes to prepare himself.

"Don't mention it," I mumbled, and I mean it!

I started to search through my memories to recall what had exactly happened.

**************

I was walking in the woods of Forks. Yes, that was where I had reached after going ten miles south of where I had been, and then going sixteen miles west. These were the instructions in the riddle, and may I tell you there was NOTHING here. The town was boring and I was thinking of leaving it.

I had just finished hunting when I heard something. A murmur, maybe? But it was tangled with the wind, that it was almost silent. Then I caught the scent. A vampire scent. My curiosity got the best of me and I started going to the source of the voice. It wasn't far but even when I got closer, the voice stayed low, as low as the wind.

There on the cold wet ground of the forest, was a young lady. Tangled and wet. She was the one who was murmuring.

"He's gone," was what she kept saying over and over. He's gone? He? Someone had left her. A father maybe? A brother? A lover? …

I gulped. A lover? What if who left her was a lover? Would she really be this broken if someone she loved left her? I took a step back and my hands fisted. Would Rosalinda be like her…? I closed my eyes and forced the thought of her away from my head.

"Miss?" I whispered almost inaudibly. She didn't seem to notice. I cleared my throat a little and said with more volume, "Miss?" But she did not respond. She just kept mumbling the same words over and over.

The sight of her pain disturbed me and I would never leave a lady broken on the floor. That was most unrespectable. Moreover, she looked so hurt…I couldn't not help her.

I bent down on one knee and slowly touched her arm. And that was when I heard it. The wind swirled around me and her, the scent of the forest surrounding us. Then her voice ran loud and clear.

A young lady owns what you seek

Hair embraced with brown

And cut too deep

She was the one! She was that I came here for. She was the one with answer to what I seek……whatever that was.

She didn't react in anyway to my touch or the wind and that scared me. I gave her a small nudge but again she did not respond. She just kept starring ahead and mumbling.

I looked around trying to look for someone who would recognize her, but I found no one.

"Well, please pardon me," I mumbled to her as I faced my only choice. I slowly and carefully took her in my arms and carried her. I stood up and looked at her. She still felt no difference. So I ran. I ran with her in my arms, as far away from my body as possible, to the closest hospital I could reach.

When we reached one, I took her inside and ran for the man standing behind the white desk. "Excuse me," I said politely. The man looked up and his eyes widened on the lady in my arms. He stood up at once, his red hair jumping.

"What's wrong?" He said urgently as he reached for the phone to call a doctor.

"I found her in the forest. I do not know what is wrong with her though," I said honestly, hoping he wouldn't think I harmed her in any way.

He nodded and told the doctor on the phone. He hung up the phone and pointed at the door on the very right of the door way, "Please take her to that room. Dr. Sandler will be with you."

I nodded and took her to the room at once. I was no expert when it came to humans, I did think her heart beats were a little slow. I pushed the door open with my leg. There was a doctor behind a desk. The room was small. Just a small bed on the right. The desk, and a water stand.

The doctor stood up at once and put wore his glasses. "What happened?" he asked and gestured to me to put her on the bed.

I laid her gently as I talked, "I do not know. I found her this way." I stepped back to give the doctor some place to see what was wrong.

"She's in shock," he whispered after a few minutes.

Would Rosalinda be? I shook my head. That's not the time for wallowing in pain.

"I should go order a room for her," The doctor mumbled and exited. I stared at her motionless form. Could my Rose have suffered like that? Could I have done that to her? If I were to ever find her, would she forgive me?

My hands fisted tighter and my teeth gritted against the pain that I knew so well. I looked for a distraction. The girl must have identification of some sort. I approached her again and looked in the pockets of her jacket. Aha!

A cell phone. Lucky that I knew how it worked. Just because I'm ancient doesn't mean my knowledge should be the same. I searched in her cell till I found a number labeled "Dad" So I pressed call.

"Hello? Bella? Where are you honey? Bella?" A frantic voice answered. I guessed that Bella was the girls name.

"Um, Hello. Are you Miss Bella's father?" I asked politely.

He was silent for a moment before he answered, "Yes I am. Who are you and what are you doing with her phone? Is she with you? Did you harm her?" He almost shouted all in one breath.

I kept silent till he finished his attack. Then I said, "My name is Damien, sir. I found your daughter in the forest. She's ill. I took her to the hospital. We are there now." I informed him.

"Hospital? What's wrong with her? Where are you? Is she hurt?" His voice was almost gone in fear.

I didn't know how to answer him the last question. It stood to more than one thing. I gave him the name of the hospital and continued, "The doctor says she's in shock. I didn't steal her or anything. I just thought that you should be informed."

"Ok, Thank you. Ten minutes and I'll be there,'' And he hung up. I returned the phone in her pocket and stepped back. Waiting for her father to come and see her. I stayed there watching, wondering what my Rose might be going through.

**********

"And when she was out of shock, she found that she couldn't…you know." I didn't want to say 'paralyzed;' she didn't like it and I doubted that he would.

"And that was how you knew each other?" He said. His voice was strangled and he kept his eyes firmly on his fisted hands.

"Yes, but because of her I had to change some of my traits." I tried to lighten the mood a bit.

"How so?" He welcomed the effort.

But then I remembered that this would lead the wrong way again, "She didn't like it when I talked in the way I used to talk with in my time. I think it reminded her of you. So I started to learn how to talk in the 21st century way." I chuckled. "It took her weeks to teach me."

He chuckled. We were both silent for a while but Edward broke it and whispered, "Thank you."

"For what?" I asked, distracted. My mind had wandered back to the time when she was teaching me how to talk. It was laughable.

"For taking care of her. For being there for her. She needed you" he whispered and when he looked back at me I could see the sincerity in his eyes. Sincerity wasn't the only thing I could see though. I could also see his struggle. His eyes. The red trying to dominate the golden again. But he forced it back.

It hurt me to see him in so much pain, and my head hung. "I wish I could have been there for you too," I whispered.

"That's very kind of you. But you see, we can't all be lucky enough to have a Damien to help us get through the hard times. Besides I deserved the pain. She didn't." When I looked back up he had a sad smile on his face.

"Don't say that. Neither of you deserved that," I whispered firmly, trying to will him to believe the words.

He was about to answer when we heard Bella moan wearily. His head snapped. And I looked at her. Her head was moving slowly and her eyes were fluttering.

Bella was coming back!
