Chapter 2: "My eyes!!!!!"
EPOV
(Just after Charlie stopped Edward from going into the bathroom where Bella is still passed out on the floor)
Oh crap, oh crap. I gotta get my head back... Wait, what was that thud?
"Oh no, Bella!!!"I shouted running away from Charlie back towards the door, partly in worry for my love, partly to satiate the monster inside of me. Must fight, must fight I chanted to myself as I took a big breath preparing to knock down the door. Then, out of nowhere, Charlie comes up and grabs my shoulder
"Edward Cullen, don't you dare touch that door. I don't know how in the world you got in here without me noticing, especially at 9 at night, but if you make one more move toward that door I will take you down to the police station for the night."
Wow, that's the longest speech I'd ever heard Charlie make, I could tell by his thoughts that he was serious, but I saw a loop hole, he had heard the thud in the bathroom too and was starting to worry about Bella.
"Now now, Chief Swan, take it easy. I forgot to tell Bella that I would be able to pick her up for school tomorrow, previously I was going to have to drive Carlisle into work while his Mercedes was in the shop( ha like Carlisle would ever allow anyone but Rosalie to work on his baby!), but it seems that his car got done early. So I was just dropping by to tell her, I came in the door a few minutes ago and said 'good evening' but you were so absorbed in the game that you didn't respond. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, but I think our main priority right now is Bella."(A/N- A big thanks to jordy9110 for the idea on Edwards excuse)
Charlie was stunned by my politeness, he just nodded and let go of my shoulder. I tried the door and it was locked. I couldn't break the door down with Charlie right here; I wasn't quite in control of myself enough to be in the same room as Bella right now.
"I'm going to call Carlisle Mr. Swan if that's ok? He knows how to pick a lock and I have a feeling that with the volume of that 'thud', Bella is going to need a doctor." I said calmly, Charlie was still in shock so he just nodded again. It took all my concentration to walk down the stairs human speed and pick up the phone in the kitchen. Once I was out of Charlie's line of sight I dialed Carlisle's number vampire speed, he picked up on the first ring and I was talking vampire speed.
"Carlisle, Jasper Emmett and I were out hunting and Emmett stole my phone after Jasper talked me, so I was running after Emmett when I caught the scent of Bella's fresh spilt blood" the monster in me roared with delight and I had to grip the counter to keep myself from running up the stairs to her. "Now I'm here but Charlie caught me, and I don't know how long I can control myself, but I heard a thud in the bathroom and I think Bella fell and his hurt cause she hasn't made a sound. Please, please come help Carlisle!!!" I was begging at the end.
"Calm down Edward, Jasper and Emmett are here with us. Alice saw what was happening" of course she did, that little pixy sister of mine comes in handy sometimes. "We were just in the midst of planning when you called. We'll be there in a minute." Carlisle said in his calm manner.
"Thank you Carlisle, you have no idea how appreciative I am"
"Just stay away from her until we get there and assess the damage, you get Charlie to sit down too"
"Ok Carlisle, see you soon" I whispered as I hung up the phone. I took a deep breath and walked a little slower than human speed back up the stairs to the bathroom where Charlie was now banging on the door yelling for Bella to answer him.
"Charlie! Charlie!" I said as I put my hand on his shoulder carefully. He jumped and almost punched me as he turned around.
"Wow, didn't see you there Edward. Bella isn't answering me"
"Calm down, Carlisle is on his way with the rest of my family. He'll be here momentarily" speak of the devil "In fact I think I hear Emmett's jeep pulling up right now."
We both walked down to the front door, and stood out on the steps as Emmett's jeep and Carlisle's Mercedes pulled into the drive behind the cruiser.
"Carlisle! Thank you so much for coming." Charlie ran up to him to shake his hand and led him up the bathroom.
I'll take care of Bella, got with Jasper and Emmett and stay there until I call you.
I nodded in response to my father's thoughts. I walked over to the jeep and jumped in the back. Jasper and Emmett were in the front seat of the jeep dancing and singing along to "Don't stop believing" I smacked my forehead against the glass until they stopped.
"Hey Eddie! Some night eh?" Emmett said to me cheerfully
"Emmett, I would watch what you say right now. You can't feel the emotions radiating out of Edward right now, but I can, and you don't want to mess with him right now ok?" Jasper hissed at him
"Thanks" I told Jasper "Where are the girls?"
"Alice and Esme went into assist Carlisle and calm down Charlie. Rosalie is standing by at the hospital to grab anything Carlisle might need for Bella" Jasper explained calmly sending out waves of tranquility to soothe me. Wow... Rosalie was actually helping, that was a first. I kept my forehead pressed against the window, taking deep breaths, trying to clear my mind of that scent. UGH STOP IT, stop thinking of that I berated myself.
I threw myself out of the car and ran for the stairs.
APOV
"Alice, go in there and assess the situation, see if you can get her dressed" Carlisle told me calmly.
Then I heard Edward snarl as he ran up behind me.
"Oh good you're here! Go stand with Carlisle please. I'm going to go check on Bella" I whispered to him.
Charlie was coming down off the shock; we had finally convinced him to go watch his game though you could see him peeking over the back of the couch at us It was quite comical. Edward walked over to Carlisle and started calming him down. So with everyone else taken care of I started towards the bathroom. The scent hit me hard, but I loved Bella and knew I could control myself. Or at least that's what I thought... As I walked into the bathroom and I saw Bella in a heap on the floor with shaving gel on her in some places still. Then I saw the blood...
There was soo much of it! What had she done? All I saw was a little razor cut, not a gash that was surely the only thing that could produce this much blood! My mind ran over these thoughts in less than a second, then I felt myself lean forward into a crouch as I prepared to strike. She just smelled too good, nothing else mattered, she wasn't my friends anymore, she was food. Just as I was launching myself at her two strong bodies tackled me...
CPOV (Carlisle)
(Just as Alice is walking towards the bathroom)
Edward came to stand by me with a pained expression on his face. I could feel the tension rolling off of him.
"She's going to be fine son. Alice will get her dressed and then I'll take care of her. She's going to be fine." I reached my hand out and patted his shoulder. He nodded, and then I felt him stiffen under my hand. I looked to his face to see what was wrong.
EPOV
I stiffened immediately as I heard Alice's thoughts screaming at me from the bathroom. She was panicking over the amount of blood. I knew she was about to pounce so I threw Carlisle and myself through the door at her. We tackled her to the ground, man was she strong!
"ALICE! ALICE you must stop this right now!" Carlisle told her. I couldn't understand how he kept his voice so calm.
"You don't want to hurt her Alice, you know that. Now control yourself!" Now Carlisle was starting to raise his voice. Alice was still struggling against us, but her attempts were getting weaker by the second. We had won, I could tell as her thoughts started to become coherent again.
"Ok guys you can let me up now. I promise I'm in control. Just don't look up until we're out of the bathroom" Those words had me frozen in place, my arms still locked around Alice's tiny shoulder.. Bella.. I was in the same room as a naked Bella covered in blood. UGH!!! This must be my own personal hell, my monstrous side and my human side's weaknesses all rolled into one room! I ran out of the room with Alice still in my arms. I ran vampire speed all the way outside.
"EDWARD!!!!!!! Put me down! NOW! You're fine! I've seen it already, now that I'm out of the room, everything will be fine. Carlisle is going to put on a blind fold as Esme tells him what to do to get her dressed. Then he'll clean up her cut so that you can be with her when he wakes her up with the smelling salts. Ok, so put me down and calm down! Jasper is going into hysterics again!" Alice yelled at me.. wow.. I put her down, and took a deep breath...So everything would be fine. Oh thank heaven! My love will be back in my arms again soon. I revealed in that thought. For the next 10 minutes, while Carlisle and Esme worked on my love, I calmed myself by planning what I would do with her when she woke up..
I would cradle her in my arms, and hug her as tightly as I could to my stone form. I would whisper how much I loved her, and those sweet nothings that made her so happy, in her ear. I would kiss her as passionately as was safe. I would hold her in my arms all night, if we didn't have school tomorrow I probably wouldn't let her go for two days. Oh how worried I had been for my love, how worried I still was. She was so delicate and fragile. I wonder if she was being careful like I asked?... Oh well I couldn't be mad at her tonight, except for almost allowing herself to be taken away from me. That thought roiled my soul; I let a snarl escape my lips. Alice jumped next to me. I felt Jasper send some calming waves my way as Emmett pressed his laughing face to the window of his jeep.
"What's wrong now Edward? Bella is fine, isn't that all you care about?" Alice asked in a perturbed voice.
"I'm fine, I was just thinking what possessed Bella to almost allow herself to be taken away from me" the last syllable came out in a choked whisper.
"Damn it Edward!" Alice screeched at me "It was an accident!!!!! For Christ sake, she was shaving her legs!!! And I'll have you know she was doing it for you! She thought you might be in a better mood after hunting.." Alice broke off suggestively
"Oh great" I moaned... Bella had put herself at risk for me? Why does she do this!!! *SLAP*
Wait.. what? Did Alice just slap me?
"Did you just slap me?" I asked childishly
"DUH!!! You're being stupid and pessimistic! Bella loves you and wants to please you. Can't you just think of it as a nice gesture turned into a horrible accident, and forget about it? Please for all of our sanities?
"Fine" I muttered, but I was certainly not going to let it go.. I was going to have a talk with Bella, later of course once she was recovered. *SLAP*
"No you most certainly will not discuss this with her Edward Anthony Masen Cullen! I can see the future remember?" Alice snarled at me tapping her forehead at the same time.
"Fine Alice..." I admitted in defeat... Then I heard thoughts I wasn't sure I wanted to hear
"OH Edward!".....
DUN-Dun-Duh!!!!!
