AN: Hey! Did you miss me? I understand you are probably pissed right now…please believe me when I say I'm sorry. Life became hectic to the extreme. Now to try and repent to you readers I cant promise updates everyday or week but that is always possible. A couple of other things I can add are that I took a creative writing class at school (and loved it!) so my writing may be more detailed or in short just more captivating at least that is my goal and also events in the past year or so (yes for those who kept track it has been a year since the last update) have given me an insight into particular things that will be relevant in my story like loss, hurt, and especially love. So please enjoy Chapter 8:Foggy and forgotten Memories
"ALICE! ALICE! CARLISLE! Carlisle come up here now please! Quickly dad ,hurry!" "Edward! EDWARD!" "What!" my tone was sharp and cutting, but I didn't care. Alice was standing there like nothing happened, like a vampire passing out was an everyday occurrence. "Don't you dare accuse me like that Edward. Calm the hell down! Or else you can't see Bella like this. I will tell you everything once Carlisle and the rest of the family has calmed down. And the only way that can happen is if you can pull it together." I nodded, surprised at her sudden ferocity. She stared at me for a while "Jasper" "Hey alike, so it happened again?" Alice nodded for the first time finally looking sad. "It's ok alike, it's not your fault." Not Alice's' fault? What that hell? "It's fine Jazz. You don't have to comfort me right now. Edward over there on the other hand does need comfort before he goes berserk." Jasper came over and laid his hand on my shoulder.
Man you look scary right now, ha-ha like insane escapee psycho scary. I looked at myself from Jaspers' mind he was right. I was on the floor in sweatpants and no shirt, on the floor on my knees hands scratching and pulling up the carpet in the process. I looked at jasper and found his face in a pronounced and freaky grin. "And you say I'm the one that looks psycho", I shake my head at him. Jasper laughs under his breath and I attempt to sitting in a 'normal' position. I'm successful for a moment but my hands return to white-knuckle position, pressing hand against hand. Jasper just shook his head and laid his hand on my shoulder. I immediately felt myself calm and watched as my fingers stretched out into a normal position. I looked at Bella trying to be irritated that I wasn't more concerned, but I instead found myself wanting to be asleep like she was. Bella's' face was so peaceful and that hair it was long and soft, I wanted to touch it. Alice laughed "Edward you look like you're stoned. Jazz! I told you to make him comforted not drugged!" Alice was laughing really hard. "This is comfort. I don't know what is making him like this" Jasper joined in on the laughing. Carlisle finally came upstairs then, "Edward are you ok? You seem-" he stopped talking then and started laughing. I shook myself free from Jaspers hand, and walked over to Carlisle.
"Dad, Bella she came in her started talking and just collapsed I didn't know what to do please tell me she is going to be ok. Please."
Carlisle looked at me puzzled for a moment. Then I realized why, I had called him dad twice now. There had only been one other time since the transformation I had called him that. Bella was still unconscious though, and there he was staring at me.
"Stop looking at me! Help Bella!" I screamed at him. I wanted to run away, but I needed to stay close to Bella. I felt like it was my fault. She came in trying to talk to me, it had happened right in front of me and I couldn't do anything. I didn't even catch her. "Jazz, please sedate him or something. He could be making it worse." Alice seemed to be pleading. I was leaning against my window when Jaspers power took over me. My legs seemed to lose their muscles, and I was swept into a current. I was being dragged deeper and deeper almost into something like summer breaths. There was so much I didn't need to breath I was aware I was against a wall and lake water glass. It was the closest I had ever come to sleep, dreaming of memories.
APOV
We watched as Edward slid down the wall and curled into a ball. Carlisle kept looking at him, you could tell he thought of Edward as a son. "Well that is certainly an impressive power Jasper." "Thanks Carlisle, don't worry he'll be fine it only lasts for five to ten minutes. In that time I suggest we move Bella to her room and gather the family downstairs." Jasper took Bella and I Carried Edward downstairs, while Carlisle gathered the family. I placed Edward in a chair just as he was close to waking up. Unfortunately for him though Emmet came downstairs took out a camera and started taking like 20 pictures of a sleeping nearly drooling Edward. As the fifteenth flash went off Edward woke up. "Em what're ya doin'? What the hell! I'm going to break that damned thing! Ugh! Stop flashing! I'M GOING TO KILL YOUUUUU!" "BOYS!" I didn't know Esme can yell but yeah she can. Emmet and Edward both stopped. "Come here right now. Give me the camera. Sit down. Carlisle will you please explain what has happened."
"I think Alice actually will know more about what has happened to Bella" "Wait what happened to Bella?" Rosalie said. "She came into my room to tell me something and then she just collapsed on the floor," Edward said, self-loathing in his voice. I sighed, "Edward it is not your fault. This happens almost regularly." Carlisle was surprised, "Regularly? So this has happened before." "Yep," I said "so where should I start?" "From the beginning dear." Esme said with motherly affection. Emmet clasped his hand got a huge grin and said "Ohoohoo! I love a good story." Needless to say both Rosalie and Edward slapped him on the head, hard. (AN: so I just wanted to say Bella's transformation date has been changed its not in the 1930's anymore its closer to Edward so ya! Carry on!)
I began "We don't really know how Bella got in the hospital, she hasn't told us much of her past, so we can only assume her black-outs have something to do with the medication they gave her, Her disease itself, or it may come from her power." There was a collective gasp around the table. "Yes I know that her power causing this would be really what's the word? Impossible. But in truth it is the one theory we have the most evidence on. The other two we have no idea. We thought though since her power is a shield against mental powers-she can only sometimes strengthen it so Jaspers power can't work-that perhaps she blacks out as a way to block unpleasant thoughts. These occur mostly when she thinks about her past, the few times she's wanted to tell us about one specific person from her past she just wipes out. The first time it happened, was directly after her transformation. It happened a lot during the first five years. But during the transformation she screamed the whole time, and just as the screaming stopped she started to get up without opening her eyes and then just fell completely off and onto the ground. I thought I had killed her since I was the one to do the transformation. It was freaky, we were ready to leave and burn the building when she starting talking, in her sleep! So we went back to her and Jasper only then noticed the faint almost ghost like emotions so we got her and took her with us. Like I said it happened a lot that year but none since have lasted as long as that first one. It lasted for two weeks."
Carlisle broke the silence, "So all we can do is wait?"
I sighed, "Yes. In the meantime we have also noticed that the more stressed the people are around her the longer she stays like this. It's hard not to be stressed but just try to pass it off as something normal. She can't die from it."
Edward looked at me carefully, "How do you know?"
"Because when she wakes up her eyes are still golden, it kind of stops the blood in the body from depleting and instead circulates like a normal human. In fact she has a heart beat right now."
Everyone became quiet and listened to the silence and then thump thump, thump thump, thump thump.
"See?"
After that everybody left the table and went to their bedrooms. After a while I went to Edwards room. Bella and Edwards's rooms shared a wall and he was leaning against it. He looked almost as peaceful as Bella, just listening to her heartbeat.
Softly he said, "Sorry about earlier."
I wasn't sure if he was talking to Bella or me. So I just stood as quietly as I could hoping he hadn't noticed me.
"I'm talking to you Alice I know you're there. Mind reader, remember?" He turned around as he said this slightly smiling.
I giggled "Sorry forgot!" I paused smiling "Go in her room I know you want to."
He sighed "Later, perhaps."
I prodded him more, "At night or day it doesn't matter if your family sees. It's fine Edward."
He kept playing with a stray fiber in his shirt, God he was making this difficult. His head was at the wall listening again, he looked like he was tuned out so I walked over grabbed his underneath his arms and started to drag him out. He finally came out of his musing. "Hey! Alice what're you doing?" on the way out we saw Jasper in the hallway, "hey Jazz" I smiled brightly. "Hey, so why are you dragging him?" "He was being difficult." Jasper laughed, "Sounds like him." I winked at Jasper, "So later?" He understood and a moment later Edward was groaning, with his head in his hands. "I'm scarred, I'm scarred, for the rest of my life! It's worse than Emmet!" We started snickering and by the time Edward stopped groaning he was in Bella's room alone, on a black chair, by her bed.
