Bella's pov.

I signed out of VIM and flopped back down on my bed and closed my eyes. I don't know how long I had been lying there before I felt ice on my forehead. Edward. I kept my eyes shut but rolled over onto his chest. I hadn't realised that I had a temperature until now. The familiar feeling of his lips crushing mine made my heart speed up more than usual. He stopped.

"Edward my head hurts."

He placed his hands back on my forehead and then picked me up. I didn't complain. It just felt nice to have him back, and have my brain back, even if it was frazzled. I felt him jump out onto the ground, still carrying me, and my stomach churned. Then I felt the cool rain bucketing down on us. I was surprised that it didn't evaporate off me.

"We'll get your car wet though…" I mumbled.

"We're not driving. Keep your eyes shut." He murmured.

I felt it get slightly cooler. That was nice. I assumed that the breeze was actually very cold but I still felt like an oven. Then it got hot again, and there wasn't any rain; inside.

"BELLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Gosh. Why did she have such a high voice? Why could it go that loud?

"Shush Alice, she's not well." Edward's voice soothed me.

"Pfftah!"

Edward carried me upstairs. I knew that we were in Carlisle's study now-it has a certain smell, all the old books I think, but there was something else today as well… something unpleasant-

"Is it ready?"

"Yes… I think it will work. Hand her to me."

I felt myself being handed from one pair of frozen hands to another and the discusting smell got worse. Ugh.

"Edward… what is that?"

My sweet angel did not reply instead Carlisle did.

"That! Is my concoction of curing remedy potion!"

Curing Remedy Potion?

"But Carlisle," I whined, "I am just fine without it. I'm better, look!"

"That my dear Bella, is the disease talking, but don't worry, we'll have you better ever so soon." Carlisle continued to disagree with me.

"Bella," the velvet honey of my lover's voice sounded, "just have a sip and then we can be sure that you're okay."

I was shocked that even Edward didn't realise I was better. I opened my eyes to find myself propped up next to a… cauldron, on Carlisle's desk. The cauldron was bubbling and it reeked! It smelt as bad as… as bad as the time that Charlie and Renee tried to bake me a birthday cake out of gone off milk-they didn't realise it was off-, bread flour, bi-carbonate of chicken (AN// This is an Ivor Cutler reference that one of us wanted to put in), and icing sugar. In fact, it smelt far worse than that.

"Just one sip and you will be back to normal." Carlisle smiled.

I blinked. They want me to DRINK that?! Okay get ready to run… 1, 2, 3!

Before I could get off the desk two pairs of icy hands grabbed me. I sighed, knowing I couldn't get out of this. I wouldn't go down without a fight though. I pressed my lips together.

"Oh Bella, come on."

I shook my head, not wanting to open my mouth. Carlisle got a ladle out of his handbag? What is the world coming to… and scooped a large spoonful. My lips were prised apart by Edward who gave me an 'it's for your own good' look and then Carlisle did that aeroplane thing with the spoon-like making it zoom into my mouth-and I tasted the medicine…

"Oh-

(AN// Review = update… don't you want to know what Carlisle is about to say?? *Smiles innocently* we know this is an annoying point to stop the chapter but we are annoying… love you all =D)
