(Bella POV)

Pain Revealed:

"Bella, what's wrong," Carlisle asked.

"Dr. Cullen, who is this," another doctor asked.

"My… daughter, Bella," Carlisle informed him.

"You told us you don't have children. You didn't even tell us that you were married," the doctor said suspiciously.

"I don't have a wife. She is adopted."

"Okay. Hurry up though. The surgery starts soon," the doctor said, annoyed.

"Yes, Bella," he continued.

"Edward Mason… Victoria snatched him. He broke up with her for me. Now she is a vampire before him. She is going to kill him. He is overly important to me, soon to be to you as well," I told him.

"What do need me to do?"

"I need you to come with me and help me. All you have to do fight off that blonde vampire who changed Victoria."

"When?"

"Now or Edward will be killed. Then the future will be changed for you and me."

"There is a surgery about to occur."

"Um... get someone to cover you."

He ran out of the room and came back approximately seven minutes later.

"All set. Ready," he asked.

"I've been ready all my life," I muttered as we started to run.

As we followed Edward's scent, Carlisle interrogated me.

"Why does Mr. Mason's son mean so much to you," he had asked me.

"We will get married in the future," I replied.

"Will this be before I find my one?"

"No. Way after. You will find her fairly soon. I, however, will have to wait until I 'meet' Edward in 2005."

Carlisle questioned me until I found exactly where Victoria was holding Edward.

"I found him. He is in that cave. Victoria is holding him hostage somewhere inside and James is with her. When we find them, you must keep James, the blonde vampire, from attacking me while I rip Victoria into pieces and get Edward out of there," I told him.

We entered the small cave where Victoria was holding Edward and started through. I followed the scent of his blood through the entire cave until we can to a blocked off wall. I took a whiff of it and knew he was behind it.

"There are behind this rock. Help me knock it down," I told him and we ran back and then into it. It collapsed after that one blow. I saw a red flame and then I was on the ground.

"You think that you can steal my boyfriend? Well you are wrong," Victoria said.

"Carlisle, get James! Oh and Victoria, I have a surprise for you," I said.

"You and Carlisle are vampires. I know. Vampires have keen sense of smell. I wouldn't expect you to know that, though."

"I have been a vampire for… years. I am from the future and you had better be careful. You aren't going to live forever."

She snarled and smashed me into a wall. Then I realized, there were only four people in the room.

"Where is Edward," I yelled as I got up.

"Somewhere else," she said back as she ran away.

I followed her, knowing that she was going to Edward because of scent and when I mentioned him, she ran.

I was led into a room where Edward was tied to a wooden board.

"Bella," he yelled when he saw me.

"Edward! I'm coming!"

And he fell to the ground. Victoria came out from behind the board holding the rope in her hands.

I ran over but Edward was already cradled in Victoria's arms. He looked so…helpless. Now I understood why Edward said I was so fragile when I was human.

"Let go of him," I said.

I probably should have said that differently because Victoria dropped Edward. I raced over to him.

"Edward, are you okay," I asked.

"No. This hurts like hell."

"My father will fix you up when we get out of here."
"Um, wrong. He isn't getting out of here… alive at least," Victoria said.

Carlisle came in with James on his tail. Unfortunately, Edward watched him behead James. I looked down and he was wide-eyed. I looked up and suddenly he was gone. As I looked up, I heard Edward scream in pain. Oh my god! Is she… BITING HIM!!!!

I ran over and knocked her off of him.

"Carlisle help," I yelled.

He ran over to me.

"Go to Edward. She bit him. I need to take care of her for now," I told him and he was with him, trying to stop him from squirming around. I turned back to her and quick ripped her head off and threw it as far from her body as possible. Then I got rid of the rest of her body. I turned back to Edward.

"Carlisle, hold him steady. I have to suck the venom out of him. He can't be changed into a vampire this way. It needs to be your venom as he is dying of Spanish Influenza when the epidemic strikes."

He gripped him onto the ground as hard as possible and I put my cool mouth onto his boiling hot wound. As I sucked the venom out of his body, I tasted his mouth-watering blood. Mmm… this is the best tasting blood I've ever tasted. Oh, get a hold of yourself, Bella. You can't kill him. If you do, you lose yourself. Come on!

I was screaming at myself. Then, I took control of myself and pulled myself off of him.

"Is his blood clean," Carlisle asked.

"Yes, I think so," I said as I took a little more to make sure that it was.

Then I nodded.

"Edward," I said, sounding more like a question then statement.

"Bella, you saved me," he said and then he coughed.

"Carlisle, we have to get him out of here. We need to take care of him somewhere… not in a cave," I told him.

I picked him up, cradling him in my arms and all the way back to the house.

When we arrived back at the house, Carlisle led me to his office where he had me place Edward on the observation table. Carlisle told me how to wrap the wound from where Victoria bit him and I handled that. Carlisle then examined the rest of Edward to find that he had a few cuts, one of them deep but not deep enough to be really serious. Then Carlisle found that his left arm was broken. Carlisle left the room to get sleeve, bandage, "plaster", and a sling.

"Bella, you saved me," he repeated from earlier.

I smiled and said, "Edward, you don't know how much you mean to me. You are the first and hopefully only human I have taken blood from. I wouldn't do what I for anyone. But if I hadn't, our future would change. We could have possibly not have met."

He smiled as he closed his eyes and drifted away to sleep.
