A/N: Hey guys, so I was planning on uploading this chapter last night, but after camping we went to the lake and when I got back home I was just too tired to finish writing this chapter. I also know that it is a little shorter than the others, but I thought that uploading a short chapter was better than not uploading at all. I would like to thank everyone who reviewed. And now here is chapter 3! Hope you enjoy!

I heard what I thought was the door open.
"Hello?" I called out tentatively my voice low and coarse.
When no one answered I opened my eyes. The room was still pitch black.
Then suddenly I was staring into a pair of blood red eyes.
I tried to scream, but the red-eyed person clamped their hand over my mouth before I made any sound at all.
They didn't remove their hand and I couldn't breathe. I tried to think about something that would grab Edward's attention, but I blacked out from lack of air before I could know if it had worked or not.
I woke up again in my room with sunlight light leaking through the blue curtains that hid my window from view.
The house was peacefully quiet. I glanced at my alarm clock: it read 12:23 pm.
No wonder the house was so quiet. Everyone was probably at school.
Then I remembered last night. The eerie red eyes. The anger and hate that I had seen in them.
I knew the eyes belonged to a vampire, the only problem was I didn't know if they had been the result of a feverish dream or not.
It felt real, but then again so did most of my dreams.
I didn't have any more time to contemplate the mysterious eyes because the door opened silently and Rosalie glided into my room without a sound.
"How do you feel?" she asked sitting down on the edge of my bed. Should I tell her about the eyes? No. I probably imagined them. No need to make everyone worry over something that I imagined.
"Aren't you supposed to be at school?" I avoided her question, but she wasn't having it.
"This conversation is about you, not me. Now answer the question," her face was emotionless but I could see worry and stress in her eyes.
"Fine?" It came out as a question and I cringed hoping she wouldn't notice. But of course, she did.
"Don't lie, I can always have Edward come up here and read your mind," she threatened the slightest traces of a smirk on her lips.
"Better than yesterday," I answered still avoiding the question.
"How much better?" she asked still not satisfied.
"Better enough to talk and not fall asleep, but not much has changed besides that," And I can hear you clearly. I finally gave in and answered her question.
"I thought so," she smiled smugly but dropped the subject.
"Esme and Carlisle want you to take medicine before you go back to sleep," Rosalie said before she disappeared only to reappear seconds later with a bottle of pills and a glass of water balanced precariously in one hand.
"I'm not going back to sleep," I yawned.
"Okay, your not going to sleep, but you still have to take the medicine," she agreed, handing me two pills and a glass of water.
I made a face, but swallowed the pills and drank a few sips of the water before handing the glass back to her.
"You're supposed to drink lots of liquids when you sick so that you don't get dehydrated," she said trying to hand the glass back to me.
I shook my head, my compliance would only go so far.
She sighed but gave up and set the glass on the nightstand.
"Do you want to stay up here or come downstairs?" she asked quietly.
I shivered remembering the red eyes. I do not want to be alone. "Downstairs," I said yawning again.
"Not going to sleep, huh?" she asked sarcastically as she picked me up and began to slowly walk downstairs.
"Nope! Not at all!" I grinned at her and she rolled her eyes.
"if you say so." She sat me down on the couch and I was surprised to see that most of my siblings were at random places around the room. Edward was at the piano, Rosalie was beside me, and Alice and Jasper were on the couch across from the one I was on. The only people missing were Carlisle, Esme, and Emmett.
"What about school?" I asked not really directing my question at anyone specifically. "Isn't today Friday?"
Alice and Jasper shared a look before Jasper spoke up. "Liz, you slept for almost two days. Today is Saturday. Emmett, Carlisle, and Esme are out hunting."
"Oh," I said weakly as I leaned against Rosalie.
Edward chuckled as he began to play a soft lullaby on the piano. Stop it. I thought weakly. You're making me tired.
"You're already tired," Edward replied, not looking up from the piano, but also not seeming to pay much attention to it.
Am not!
He chuckled again.
I gave up on mentally arguing with Edward and instead closed my eyes as I felt someone- presumably Rosalie- drape a blanket over me. I was out within a few minutes.
When I woke up again my siblings were gone and the room had gotten extremely cold. I shivered and looked out at what I was wearing.
A tank top and shorts. No wonder I was so cold.
I stood up on shaking legs before I mad my way into the kitchen in search of my family.
They weren't in there either, so I decided to go back to my room where I could put on something much, much warmer.
I stumbled up the stairs tripping two or three times before I made it to the landing that my room was on.
I climbed into my room and changed into a new t-shirt and a pair of leggings before I laid down on my bed.
I meant to only stay there for a minute, but I fell asleep almost exactly after I closed my eyes.
I woke up to someone gently shaking my shoulder.
"Hey sweetie, do you feel any better?" It was my dad.
"Hey, dad," I smiled up at him. "I feel a little bit better. I think Rosalie's medicine helped." Whatever it was that she made me take.
"I'm glad," he also smiled. "Can you come downstairs and eat something before you go back to bed?"
I sighed before nodding and climbing out of bed.
He gently lifted me up bridal style before slowly -or slow for a vampire at least- walking down the stairs.
He sat me down on the couch beside Alice and I leaned into her side as he walked off into the kitchen.
"Hey," Alice smiled as she ran her fingers through my very messy blonde hair. "Sleeping beauty is awake at last."
I smiled at her teasing but didn't reply.
"How long did I sleep this time?" I asked her, slightly worried.
"Not that long," she smiled, "Just a few hours."
"Now when I need to sleep I'm not going to be able too," I complained to no one in particular.
Alice chuckled. "You'll be awake with the rest of us then."
When I said nothing else, Jasper spoke. "Come on, let us go outside. It snowed earlier."
I nodded in agreement. I LOVE snow.
I was sitting up about to follow Jasper out the door when Alice caught my arm.
"You need to eat and put on actual clothes and a jacket first," She said as she lead me up the stairs after grabbing a plate of food from Carlisle.
I sat on my bed eating the turkey sandwich as Alice went trough my closet pulling out a sweater, jeans, a jacket, and a pair of boots.
"Change," she ordered before gliding out of the room.
I complied quickly, changing out of my pajamas and into the outfit that Alice had carefully laid out on my bed.
Five minutes later I quickly climbed down the stairs and grabbed Jaspers hand allowing him to lead me outside.
The snow outside had been amazing! It was still falling in thin wisps and decorating every surface within sight.
To make it even better I had somehow convinced Jasper to make a snowman with me and with his super speed a tall snowman had been guarding the front of our house within minutes.
Eventually, though, the fun had to end, and as soon as I had started shivering Jasper had made me go back inside. Which brings us to the present time.
I shrugged off my now soggy jacket and hung it on a rack that stood right beside the front door.
I followed Jasper back into the living room and sat down beside Emmett leaning into his side.
"Jeez, Liz, I think you're colder than us now," He teased a playful smile on his lips.
"Haha, very funny," I remarked back sarcastically before I grabbed a blanket of the top of the couch and leaned my head on his shoulder.
I was content to just watch him and Edward play some nine-boarded chess game that I could not for the life of me keep up with before eventually I fell asleep. Again.
Some time later I felt a pair of cold hand lift me up and begin walking up the stairs.
"Huh?" I blinked blearily at the figure I front of me.
"Go back to sleep sweetie," It was my mom, Esme.
"Mmhm," I nodded and shut my eyes again as I heard her chuckle softly.
A minute later I was barely conscious of my mom setting me down on my bed before the door closed almost silently.
I woke up a little later and sat up rubbing at my eyes. Something felt very wrong.
Eventually, my vision adjusted to the dark room and I looked around confused. This was NOT my room.
Dun, dun, dun. Where is Elizabeth and how did she get there? Find out tomorrow!
