I saw nothing but black at first, I knew I was coming around, or I just thought I was, but I didn't hear anything at all, so I didn't know what was going on in the room I was in.
I started to hear sounds, but there were no voices, only footsteps could be heard, walking around the room. I wished that I could see the people that made the noises, the footsteps were hurried, rushed like the people in the room were anxious about something, but about what I didn't know. Could it be that they were worried about me, that I hadn't woken up yet? I didn't know how long I had been out, I was trapped in my head, unable to escape the dark world that I was being held captive in.
I started to hear whispers, and I was sure that there had been whispers that were unable to be heard with human ears. They were rising, I wished that I could understand what was being said, but I couldn't, all i heard was just a bunch of jumbled up, hushed voices, that I couldn't understand one bit.
The voices started to clear and I could understand what was being said by the others in the room, maybe it had just been that I had just been coming around when I started to notice the footsteps and whispered voices? Maybe I really was starting to come around.
"What happened?!" This voice was not a whisper, but it was still to quiet in my ears, though I knew that it had been shouted. I heard a small click as the door was thrown back into it's place after the words were spoken. I then understood that it was Edward who had yelled the words. I could picture the scene in front of me now, the sounds and words becoming more clear than they were a minute ago.
"Edward, dear, calm down," It was Esme's voice, she hadn't been here before so I guessed that she had come with the rest of the Cullens from the hunting trip, which had been cut short for all of the Cullens, except Alice of course.
"Alice, tell me what happened, please!" Edward's voice was weaker, filled with fear and anxiety. I wanted to be able to open my eyes and tell him that I was fine, that nothing was wrong. But I couldn't do that, I still couldn't hear the sounds as clearly as I should've been able to.
"Edward, we were watching something one TV, she fell asleep, I didn't even have a vision of anything happening until a second before it did, she'll be okay, we'll make sure of that," Alice was talking to him in a soothing voice. I pictured her looking up at him, trying to reasure him that nothing would happen to me, when you could tell from her voice that she wasn't so sure herself.
"I'll make sure nothing happens to her, Edward. I promise," Carlisle was trying to reasure him now.
"Talk to her, Edward, see if that helps," Alice told him, she was farther away now, it sounded like she was on the other side of the room when she told him this.
I felt his cold hand touch my cheek, I felt my body shiver once, but I didn't react in any other way, though I wanted to through my arms around him and kiss him, I tried to do just that, but I couldn't still couldn't move yet.
"Bella, wake up, Bella," He whispered in my ear. I sighed, and it was heard.
"Keep it up, Edward, maybe she'll wake up," Carlisle said in his gentle voice.
"Bella, my love, please wake up. I want to see your beautiful brown eyes, I want to kiss you, Bella. Wake up, my love," He whispered in my ear again. I felt my hand twitch, and I felt Edward move to pick my hand up, he kissed it and I moved my hand again, but nothing more than a twitch of my fingers happened.
"Kiss her, Edward," Alice said from the same place she had been before.
I felt Edward's lips touch lightly to my lips, it felt like no more than a feather's caress. I felt my eyelids start to flutter, but they didn't open.
He kissed me again, this time trying to deepen it, I felt my lips kissing him back without me deciding to do so, I was starting to take a little control, bit by bit. He kissed me again, and this time I tried to move my hands to his hair, but I got them about halfway and they fell back to the cushions on the couch. He kissed me again and my eyelids finally fluttered open.
I looked up at him, and he kissed me again before he whispered in my ear these words, "Glad to see you awake, my love."
