Bella's POV

Silence, that's all I heard. I clutched myself, holding what sanity I had left in my system. I needed Edward here with me. I reached for my phone and said "Call Edward"

The ringing of the phone made me anxious, what if he didn't answer? Was he hunting?

"Bella?" I breathed out a sigh of relief.

"Can you come round?"

"Of course, I'll be over in 5 minutes"

"Thank you" I whispered before hanging up, I lay back on my pillows and closed my eyes.

Help me please, he killed me, my father killed me please

I squeezed my eyes shut.

Ring a ring a roses a pocket full of poses

I bit my lip and put a hand over my mouth to stop myself from screaming.

I'll get my revenge

Help me

Where am I?

I'm dead? How?

Why can't they hear me?

I'm right here mum, dad I'm here

I whimpered, all the different voices made me get a headache.

"Bella?"

"Edward" I whimpered "Hold me"

I felt a pair of arms wrap around me and bring me close, the soft touch of cold yet warm lips swept across my forehead.

I wrapped my arms around him and breathed in his scent.

I'm here please look at me, no! What're you doing, don't take those pills

"Edward, help me"

"I'm here Bella" he held me tighter and I felt him shift so he was now lying on his side on the bed and our noses touched.

Standing there by a broken tree
Her hands are all twisted, she was pointing at me
I was damned by the light, coming out of her eyes
She spoke with a voice that disrupted the sky
She said walk on over here to the bitter shade
I will wrap you in my arms and you'll know that you're saved
Let me sign
Let me sign

I snuggled deeper towards him, the voices were fading and I could feel my frown was slowly disappearing. Edward's musical voice started to sing to me again

I was out for a drink in a soho bar
The air was smoked out liked a cheap cigar
She rose out of her seat like a painted ghost
She was the woman that I wanted the most
As she reached for my arm I gave her my hand
I said 'Lay me down easy let me understand'
Let me sign,
Let sign,
Can't fight the devil so just let me sign.

He kissed my nose and stroked my face, my eyes started to get heavy, I no longer heard the voices and all I could hear was Edward, his scent wrapping round me like soft silk.

As I walked through the door she was still in my head
As I entered the room she was laid there in bed
She reached out for me all twisted in black
I was on my way down, never coming back
Let me sign, let me sign, can't fight the devil so just let me sign.
Let me sign, let me sign, can't fight the devil so just let me sign.

Edward turned me round on my back and I felt him lay his head in the crook of my neck, smelling me.

"I love you" he whispered against my neck, placing a gentle kiss on my cool skin.

()*()*()*()*

I heard my own breath breathing in and out, I heard the soft chirp of the morning birds enter my ears, I felt the sun burning onto my skin, but in a pleasant way. I opened my eyes and heard someone downstairs in the kitchen. A soft bump came to the top of the stairs and I heard my door creak open.

"Morning gorgeous"

I smiled "Morning darling"

Edward kissed me on the lips before setting, what felt like, a tray onto my lap.

"Breakfast in bed, I don't think you should go to school today because of what happened, you need your rest"

I giggled "How come you're so sweet" I leaned forward and kissed his nose instead of his mouth. I felt him smile as his lips planted themselves on mine. I pulled back and winced as I now felt my back.

"Bella?"

"Why does my back hurt?"

Edward sighed and crawled into the bed next to me

"When you were screaming at my house, you started to get cuts and bruises all over your body, that's why your eyes are swelled and your lip is cut open. The reason your back is sore is because you had whip marks"

I sighed "I'm sick of this"

I felt a finger on my chin; my head was turned to the side and Edward's lips brushed against mine as he whispered,

"I wish I could take this away from you, I hate seeing you in pain" he took my bottom lip and kissed me gently "Does your back hurt terribly?"

I let out a shaky breath "It's uncomfortable but it's bearable"

Edward ran his fingers through my hair, moving my hair from my right side, he brushed his lips against my shoulder and swept them to my ear "Would you like me to cool down the burn?"

I nodded, my eyes closed and Edward lay me down on my stomach.

"I'm going to lift your top up Bella, is that ok"

"Yes"

He started to lift my top up; I felt his fingers skin each mark which covered my back. I shivered

"Are you cold?"

"No" I answered immediately

Edward lifted my body up and slid my shirt off, I hear another article of clothing leave one of our bodies and I was pretty sure it was Edward. His hands started to massage my back, being very careful not to apply too much pressure to the skin so it wouldn't crack. I felt his hands leave my skin and he replaced them with his lips

"I'm sorry" he whispered but it was quickly replaced with "I love you"

I smiled "I love you too"

With each cut that was placed on my back, Edward soothed the pain with his touch and words, each filled inside me bringing me happiness and love. I now felt his bare chest on the back of my back allowing me to feel his perfectly sculpted chest.

"I wish I could see you" I whispered. Edward laid his back onto mine, I kissed the back of my shoulders, he didn't say anything to my out spoken confession and I'm glad he didn't say anything, because the moment was too perfect for words to be spoken.

One month later

Alice had taken me shopping the day before to get my dress for the winter dance. Tonight was the night when the dance took place. I was currently in my room wrapping my hair into the curlers.

Don't go

I jumped,

"Josephine?"

Don't go tonight, something bad will happen to you

"What?" I asked, I stood up and held onto my wardrobe door for balance

I can't say, but I'll say this, if you go, you'll just end up like me

I breathed in and out "Josephine? Where were you buried?"

A low chuckled came to my ears, it was a sad one do you remember that day at school? You said someone was killed at Forks high?

I nodded and then gasped, my hand covering my mouth

"T-They…whoever killed you…b-buried you in the school?"

They were revamping the school; I don't know where he buried me

"Who? Who was it who killed you?"

I can't say, I can hardly remember anything anymore

"Bella?"

I heard Charlie call me from downstairs

Please don't go, please

"If you can't tell me why, I have to go"

But you'll die!

"Everyone dies"

Your boyfriend didn't

"In a way he did, but he was brought back to life"

And what I saw there was no way you could be brought back to life

I went silent "Who kills me?"

There was silence

"Who kills me" I repeated, but she didn't respond and I knew she had gone

"Come Bella, you're not even dressed? You know Alice is going to go mad" Charlie chuckled, I rolled my eyes and shooed him out of the door so I could get dressed into my gown

I took a deep breath and decided I was going to go to this dance and have fun, even if it does kill me.

Please review and more to come soon
