I felt my head spinning as I sense that the empty blackness from earlier hadn't ended my life like I had hoped that it would. I was still a weak human and was still alive. I was alive but how. Those two men had beaten me pretty badly and even a beating like that would or should I say could take someone's life. I just hope that this isn't some kind of hell I'm in. Wait some of the events from last night were becoming clear in my mind. I was saved from those men. I had seen Rosalie. I was startled by a noise and tried to open my eyes.

Boy did my head hurts, where was Alice when you needed her. Before I could think anything else I could vaguely see where I was and it wasn't in the dingy alley from last night. I was in the last place I would ever imagine I would see myself again.

Bella had one hell of a night last night. I am just glad she isn't dead. I know I would never hear the end of her getting hurt as it was, but at least no one knew about it so far. I just wonder how Bella is going to handle the news of the events that took place because of her poor choice in trusting Jessica Stanley. I will take care of her in due time, but wait I think Bella is coming to, her heart beat is slowly changing. She isn't sleeping anymore. Should I go into the other room or just stay here and wait. 'Tick tock' I could hear the hands slowly moving in the clock that was hanging in the kitchen.

I decided that I would be the one to make the first move. She must be in pain and I wouldn't want to inflict her in any way. I grabbed two aspirins and set then on the tray of food I had just prepared for Bella to eat. I quickly took a glass out of the cabinet and put some apple juice into in and set it down. I looked down and saw the two eggs, some toast and bacon as a healthy breakfast. I just hoped Bella would like it.

I picked up the tray and walked into the living room and saw Bella was slowly repositioning herself so that she could be sitting up instead of lying down. I gently put the tray on the coffee table and began to help Bella get herself in position. She flinched a little when I touched her but she didn't resist my help. This was a good sign.

I wanted to sit up, but it was very painful for me to move. Yet I didn't know who was here and didn't want to interrupt anyone from what they were doing. I was just lucky to even be alive. I began to move and out of the corner of my eye I saw Rosalie enter the room carrying a tray. I couldn't stop my moving and was very thankful when I felt her cold hands help me move into the position I wanted to be in. I flinched at first because of the coldness of her hands and begged silently that she didn't get offended by it. She seemed so at ease with me. She sure had changed since I last saw her. No I take that back it was when James was attacking me that I sensed her hatred and then after Jasper tried to bite me she seemed pleased. She sure was sending mixed signals.

"Rosalie, my head hurts pretty badly" I began to speak and then noticed two small pills lying on the tray. I looked at her and she gave me a small smile.

"I thought you might be hungry, so I fixed you a simple breakfast. Everything you need is right here on the tray. Eat up and then rest. I have a few items to take care of and should be back down here shortly. Do not get up. You're still very weak and I don't think after last night you should be moving around alone for a little while" she asked me or it sounded more like she told me. I nodded my head and nibbled on a piece of toast.

"Rosalie, before you leave can I ask you a question" I began to ask. She turned around with a painful expression on her face.

"Bella, Edward isn't here nor is anyone else. I left them to watch over you. I'm not doing a very good job of it though" she said looking me up and down. I figured she blamed herself for my injuries. I went to say something and she put her fingers to her lips, "Shh! Come now eat and when I return we can talk. I'll be gone for a little while, but I will be able to hear you perfectly well. The t.v. remote is beside your tray. If you want to call your dad or anyone else the phone is also there. I'll be right back" and with those words she was up the stairs and gone.

I didn't want to leave her but I wanted to get a few items done before I took her home to her dad or even answered her questions. I know she's going to ask a lot of them, hopefully I'll have the answers she needs. I quickly took the bottle of brown hair color to the bathroom and began to color my hair. During the coloring I tried different shade of tanning cream to change my skins color. I took a quick look in the mirror and noticed that my very pale frame was a now toned bronze color. I looked pretty tanned; I liked this shade on me and noted it down on my shopping list because I knew the color would only last a week or two at most. I then returned to my hair it was now a auburn brown. I liked this color on me and noted it as well, my hair being colored would last maybe a month until I would need to recolor.

Next was my eye color topaz just wouldn't work for me right now. I had been working on a glass contact, hopefully it would work since regular contacts would just dissolve due to the venom in our eyes (this was stated in Breaking Dawn-when Bella's dad was on the way to see if she was alright after the honeymoon---thinking outside the box with the glass). It felt weird at first because of the glaring from the light, but it was okay. I could see clearly out of them and more importantly my eye color had now become green. I had mixed some tinting of yellow and green to help change the color from the topaz I usually have. I was happy looking in the mirror. For the first time since becoming a vampire I actually looked normal. My plan might actually work. Now I had to have a heart to heart with Bella, so I made my way down the stairs and noticed that Bella was lying again on the couch.

Rosalie had been far too nice to me, I was now waiting for her to jump out and kill me for destroying her perfect life. Yet for some reason she didn't do anything to me, she was still busy upstairs. I decided to call my dad, dialed the house number and it just rang and rang, so I decided to call the station. The phone was answered quickly, "Hello, this is Chief Swan. How might I be able to help you?" asked my dad. I was just relieved to hear his voice.

"Daddy" I said trying to be calm and not cry or just mostly not worry him.

"Bella, honey is everything alright. You sound like you're upset. Are you still at Jessica's, do you need a ride home?" he was getting worried now and I didn't want him to worry.

"I'm fine, just a little sore I seemed to have taken a bad spill last night" I said as I lied to him. Hopefully Rosalie would help me plan on what to tell him later. "I think I'm just going to lie down for a while and will se you when you get home" I now said very calmly trying to hind any emotion in my voice.

"Okay. I will be in late tonight. There seems to have been a lot of teenage girls being beaten and then hurt in other ways. I was a little worried last night, but glad that you were out with friends and not a lone. Have a good nap and I will see you later." He said and I hung up the phone. If he only knew what I had gone through last night, what my so called friend put me through just to be rude. I laid back down and tried to calm myself down.

"Bella, are you okay" came Rosalie's concerned voice. I didn't even bother to look in her direction.

"Yeah, just got off the phone with my dad" I said as I opened my eyes hoping to see her, but she wasn't sitting in front of me. I didn't sit up to look for her because that would send me into another wave of pain and I sure didn't want that. So I decided to wait for her to show herself.

"Okay, I am going to come over to you. I have changed how I looked so that I could fit in more comfortably with you and your friends" came Rosalie's voice as she entered the room. I was a little nervous until I finally saw how she looked. She didn't look like a vampire anymore. She looked so normal; I wouldn't have questioned her of being one. Her hair was now a reddish brown, tanned skin and her eyes were what I liked the most. Her eyes were green, the same color his would have been if he was still human. She looked beautiful, not that she didn't look good before. "Are you alright Bella?" she asked as she moved her hand towards my head.

"I'm just surprised. You changed your appearance. Why would you do that?" I asked stunned at what I could really say.

"I know this is all just so confusing, but I did all of this so that I would have a easier time taking care of you. I'll tell you this only once. You mean everything to my family. I know that Edward told you something that has changed your opinions, but don't let what I'm about to tell you fall on deaf ears. My family is nothing without you, so if Edward wants to be stupid about taking care of you I will do his job until he realizes just how much you mean to him. He loves you more than you can even comprehend. He is just a little anile about you being in harm's way. Alice loves you like a sister and has tried to talk some sense into him. Don't get me started on Carlisle and Esme, they already love you like a daughter. Emmett also has become fond of you. Jasper loves you too. Bella if it weren't for their love for you I wouldn't have realized how long our family has waited for you. Nor would I have seen how devastated our family was when we had to leave you. It brought me to my senses. I have even found that I wouldn't be the same person if you weren't a part of this family" she began to dry sob as she finished what she had just said.

I was speechless, Rosalie actually card for me. She was willing to go against Edward and her family just to protect me. She was my family. I loved her just as much as I loved Alice if not at this moment more. I reached over and placed my sore arms around her and began to hug her. She put her arms around me and hugged me back.
