This is a story from my wild imagination that uses the awesome characters from Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. Stephanie Meyer owns The Twilight Saga and all its true glory.

CHAPTER 2: Illness Excerpt

Carlisle's POV

I left her room and knew what Edward meant, she truly needed help.

I called Esme and asked her to meet me at the hospital after my shift so we could talk about how to break this to Edward.

We decided to wait and see how Bella acted the next day at school.

CHAPTER 3: Earthquake

Bella's POV

The next day at school I felt horrible but I knew how to deal with that, When I lived with Renee and Phil and… I had to go through much worse.

Edward and his brother came in and Edward said hi to me like he did every day. I was starting to look forward to it.

"How are you today Bella?" Edward asked.

"I'm ok I guess." I said quietly, for once answering his question.

He looked stunned at first but then a huge crooked smile appeared on his face.

Narrator's POV

And so it went for a month Edward would say hi, Bella would say hi back.

He would ask a question usually about her day, and usually she would answer.

Carlisle and Esme didn't have the heart to tell Edward how sick she was and kept their minds blocked most of the time.

About two months after Bella's first arrival at Forks Edward was really beginning to make progress with her, he could move at a normal human like speed without making her flinch and she began answering more questions every day. Some days she would even join Edward, Emmett, Rose, Alice, and Jasper for lunch.

Edward's POV

I walked in to the class room and just as I was about to reach my seat everything began to shake badly. The roof gave way in our class room and I quickly pulled Bella to me to keep her safe. At first she tried to get away from me and I knew it was her "flinching" reflexes but when she realized I was protecting her she let me hold her tightly to me and keep her safe.

Bella's POV

When the earth began to shake I froze and when I felt someone's arms pull me to them I tried to get away like I always did with … but I realized it was Edward, keeping me safe from the debris that was falling down from the ceiling.

Then the ceiling around us gave way I heard someone yell out "Edward!" I think it may have been Emmett and I just screamed.

"Shhh, it's okay Bella, I'm right here, you're going to be okay." Edward tried to sooth me.

I was screaming because I was afraid and he knew it but what he didn't know is the flash backs that were passing through my mind.

"It's okay Bella we're going to be okay. It's all right." Edward continued as he got off of me and leaned against a fallen board.

I stopped crying and opened my eyes, we were in a tiny place. Without thinking about what I was doing I jumped into his arms, He seemed shacked but held me close.

We were trapped but we could hear people wanting to move the debris then the area where I had been collapsed Edward immediately, and who knew how he moved so quickly, had me tucked under his body keeping his weight off of me but protecting me.

"STOP!" he yelled. "YOUR GOING TO MAKE IT COLLAPSE ON TOP OF US!"

"EDWARD ARE YOU OKAY SON?" a familiar voice yelled.

"YEAH DAD I'M FINE BUT THIS IS NOT VERY STABLE" he responded as he sat back down. I went to sit next to him and he pulled me close to him. My hand was bleeding and that's when I remembered I would have to take my medicine soon.

"EDWARD, IS ANYONE ELSE IN THERE WITH YOU?" his dad continued.

"YEAH, BELLA SWAN, AND SHE HAS A CUT ON HER ARM" he continued.

"BELLA? IT'S DOCTOR CULLEN" his dad/my doctor/Carlisle responded.

"Hi" I mumbled.

"Bella you're going to have to speak louder than that" Edward chuckled.

"Do I have to?" I asked shyly.

He sighed, "No, I'll talk louder for you." "SHE SAYS HI" he yelled for everyone to hear.

"Edward we need to figure out how to get you guys out quickly, Bella may need my umm… help. Oh and you might want to do that thing you do and keep her warm "Carlisle thought as he yelled "CAN YOU WRAP HER ARM INSOMTHING AND KEEP PREASURE ON IT WHILE WE TRY TO GET YOU GUYS OUT?"

"YEAH" he yelled back.

Edward's POV

When I smelled her blood I didn't know if I would be able to contain myself but when she jumped into my arms I knew I could keep myself in control.

Then when it began to collapse and I pulled her under me it felt so nice having her warmth so near me.

I loved this but hated the circumstances.

When Carlisle told me to keep her warm and bandage her arm I decided to be a little… naughty.

I took of my shirt and her eyes grew wide, "Give me your arm" I said with authority.

She stared at me, directly at my chest and I couldn't help but smile and chuckle. I reached for her arm, slowly, and she let me take it. I wrapped it in my shirt then put it in her lap. I could hear her heart beat quicken as I got close to her. "Now it's getting cold and you don't have a sweater is it okay if I put my arm around you?"

She snapped out of her trance and her heart beat quickened even more.

"I won't hurt you Bella, I promise." I told her as I pulled her close. She came almost unwillingly but when she felt how warm I was she snuggled up to me and I couldn't help but smile.

Bella's POV

When Edward took off his shirt I couldn't help but stare at his wonderful body. I didn't even mind him touching me and wrapping my arm. When he got closer to me I could feel my heart pounding in my rib cage. When he asked if he could keep me warm I was going to protest but he felt so warm, like my own personal space heater.

Edward's POV

She fell asleep in my arms and I couldn't help but hold her closer. I smelled her hair and inhaled her scent.

Hey bro I heard Alice think we will get you guys out in like less than ten minute. So if you don't want her freaking out wake her up and talk to her a little. Carlisle will yell at you guys in like five minutes. Thank you. I whispered knowing she would hear.

"Bella," I whispered, "Bella wake up" I continued as she stirred. She looked confused and then realized she was in my arms and backed away.

"Sorry, I … I didn't mean to fall asleep." She said in a whisper.

"It's okay, don't worry about it" I whispered back.

"How long was I out?" she continued to in a voice a little louder than a whisper.

"About twenty minutes… max." I said, even though it had been almost an hour.

"Oh, okay. Have they said anything about getting us out?" she asked.

"Not yet but every now and then you hear them." I responded Edward get her under you quick Alice said.

Bella's POV

When Edward said you could hear them I knew Charlie would probably be out there, and he would probably hug me when I got out. Well I had to let people in at some point. After all I let Edward touch me.

Then everything began to collapse on us again, and like before, at impossible speed Edward was right there on top of me, protecting me. It felt nice having him so close. Then all I could think about was him getting hurt protecting me.

Here is the third chapter I already have the fourth one written and will get it up as soon as a I have a chance.
