Note: Hey everyone! I know you all want to kill me after that thing I pulled with the cliffy. The My Immortal I used in the last chapter is the original one that was recorded from the original poem Ben Moody wrote. Things are finally starting to come around in this story and I like where it's going. Here's the next chapter.
Chapter 12: Laurent, We'll Never Forget
EPOV
What just happened?
"Bella?"
Bella had just fainted for no visible reason. I touched her forehead to check her temperature but it didn't do any good. Holding my breath was getting uncomfortable too.
If only I could read her mind I could see what may have made her faint.
"Rose, can you check if she has any sort of fever? Her body feels hot to me all the time..." I felt useless. I wanted to help the most beautiful girl in the world and I couldn't.
I also couldn't read her mind and it was annoying. Even though it's only been a little more than a year since I was turned I had never met anyone whose mind I couldn't read. Until Bella. I couldn't even feel her brainwaves in a room. She was completely blocked from me
Why is it so different with you?
"Should we take her to the nurse?" Rosalie's voice was full of worry.
"What time is it Rose?" I held Bella in my arms with no effort whatsoever.
"Almost the end of school..."
We've been out here too long...
"Let's bring her to Carlisle. He's a doctor anyways." Everyone nodded in agreement and we headed for the parking lot. I heard Rosalie squeal ad I read her mind to see that she had been picked up by Emmett to be carries.
Running at full speed we reached the cars in no time. I went to mine.
"Emmett you take Bella's car. Rose, if you want you can ride in the back with Bella to make sure she's fine. Jasper, take Rose's car. I don't want to have to come back here until tomorrow.
Everyone got in the way I told them to. I place Bella in the back seat with her head on Rose's lap.
We drove as fast as we could, which was about 20 above the speed limit you allowed to break...(a/n: cops will let you if you're like 5 above the speed limit here if you're on the high way.)
As soon as the cars were parked I had Bella in my arms and was heading to see Carlisle. My sister was still in pain, the unfortunate side effect of becoming a vampire.
My mother and father were in the living room, watching something...
"Oh. My! What happened to her?" Esme was always concerned about anyone, especially if those people were her children, or friends of her children.
"I'm not sure why but she fainted. She hadn't eaten anything for lunch but her heartbeat was fine, even when we were talking. Up until I mentioned the person who turned us." I really had no Idea what could have caused this.
"You can't read her mind?" Carlisle asked me while checking Bella's vitals.
"No. She's blocked from me for some reason."
Carlisle continued to check for any signs that she may have hit her head.
"Wait a sec...The guy who turned you was named Laurent, right?" I looked at Rosalie and tried to make sense of her thoughts.
"Yeah...Why?" She ignored me.
"Carlisle, do you remember what happened 2 years ago?"
Carlisle's mind flashed with horrible images, the same were coming from Rosalie's head.
Bella at a party, drugged on some kind of date rape drug.
She was almost raped! My sweet, sweet Bella...
I felt the urge to go and hold Bella tight but I knew she needed Carlisle to check her out.
More images were shown to me. Bella with blood coming out of both her wrists, almost killing her. Carlisle talking to her about what happened. Charlie telling them the monster who hurt her was nowhere to be seen.
Carlisle lifted her arm and inspected it.
"What are you looking for?" Curiosity killed the cat.
"I'm making sure that the bite hasn't changed..."
"What?!"
"Bella was slightly bitten by the man who tried to do more. It was a vampire. His bite was very tiny, and only a small amount of venom seeped through. Not enough to change her, but I check it every time to make sure it hasn't gotten any bigger. I can't take the venom out either. I've tried many times. Bella does seem to have a slight change though; she can go without eating an entire day and still be just as nourished as any normal human."
"That rules out not eating so it has to be the memories of Laurent. I feel so bad for her. If only Alice and I had gone to that party with her nothing would have happened." Rosalie slumped down into a chair with Emmett putting his arms around her.
"It's not your fault hun, you didn't know." How Emmett could breathe with his head in her hair I had no idea.
And then, she came to.
Note: I know it's short but I just wanted a short Edward chapter to tell you how he felt and to tell you that he can't read her mind. Also to fill the boys in on Bella's past plus I didn't want to do like Stephenie and just leave out all of this stuff. R&R PLEASE!!!
