Chapter 10
"NO!" Edward yelled across the room his voice bouncing off the walls as he realized that James had bit Bella. He ran towards her but Victoria blocked his route, but Edward attempted to fling her out of his path instead Victoria sent him hurling crashing into the high windows of the studio shattering the glass sending the pieces flying everywhere.
Slowly Bella felt the effects of the venom, at first it was a small fire erupting under skin, but it got more intense and sharper. She tried to vocalize the pain that she was suffering but she didn't have enough strength to even speak. Convulsing violently, Bella wished that the burning would stop but it kept getting worse. By the time Carlisle and Alice had got to Bella, they weren't sure how much the venom had spread. Mustering just enough strength, Bella spoke in a staccato tone," Make… this…. burning in my arm… stop…" Bella slowly slipped into an unconscious state of mind. Edward got up from the ground and rushed to Bella's side.
"Carlisle can we do anything?" Edward asked hoping that it was reversible.
"It is hard to tell though we won't know until we see. Though, that would require you to suck James venom out of the wound."
Edward's facial expression was in between a nervous and terrified look, he was unsure that he could do that task without killing her in the process, though he knew that Carlisle trusted that he wouldn't harm Bella. Alice walked away from Bella unable to keep control herself from her lust for Bella's blood with the pool of blood around Bella increasing in size at a rapid rate. If Bella survived, she would have only less than an hour and half before she'd bleed to death. Carlisle stared intently at Edward as he pondered the fate of Bella, then walking to Carlisle he crouched down looking at Carlisle for what seemed like an eternity. Carlisle broke the silent stare with Edward assuring him, "You need to Edward or she'll bleed to death! I believe in you, son!"
Edward took Bella's right wrist which had become limp and lowered his cold lips to the crescent bite on her inner wrist. He hesitated for second but sucked the venom that tasted like morphine out of the wound. Though he didn't like to be the monster, he blood was just as was sweet just like her strawberry scent that never seems to intoxicate him. Carlisle noticed that Bella was unconscious from the loss of blood but she wasn't complaining of any burning which meant that she was still human and was a good sign. He placed a shoulder on Edward's shoulder, who was still sucking the venom, warning him that he got James venom out of her bloodstream. Edward has lost his control and kept draining more blood out of Bella that Carlisle had to yell, "EDWARD YOU CAN SUCKING JAME'S VENOM OF OUT OF THE BLOODSTREAM, BECAUSE SHE IS STILL HUMAN! DON'T KEEP DRAINING ANYMORE BLOOD OUT OF HER SHE'S BARELY ALIVE!" Edward didn't hear a single word that Carlisle had said. Carlisle pulled Edward away since he had lost all control. Took a minute before Edward realized what had occurred without Carlisle having to explain. Edward skulked away to help Jasper, Alice, and Emmett corner and eliminated James and Victoria all together therefore they wouldn't endanger Bella's life anymore. Victoria and James were still resisting though they were slowly loosing their strength.
Bella lay helpless in her own blood trying to get back to consciousness even though she was fading in and out of consciousness. Barely moving, Bella tried to move to see what was happening but her body was too frail to even move slightly. Carlisle assured Bella that everything okay and that she needed some rest to recover from the major blood loss she suffered. Falling into a deep slumber, Bella rested her tired eyes dozing for a while as the Carlisle left to aid the others fighting Victoria and James.
