I hope you all enjoy this...big stuff happin' Please let me know what you think

I had to stand up and back away for a moment. What do I do? The burn in my throat became a pain nearly unbearable. I didn't even have to turn and look at Rosalie and Emmett to know what they were thinking.

"Go outside, please!" I pleaded. "Try calling Carlisle again, don't give up until you reach him. And think loudly all of his instructions."

They left and now I was afraid of myself. I don't know that I can do this.

No! I had to focus. I had to save this girl. Okay, what's the first thing I do?

I needed to elevate her head, so she wouldn't choke. I ran upstairs as fast as possible and got pillows. I propped up her head, but the blood wasn't stopping. How was I supposed to make the bleeding stop?

Emmett had Carlisle on the phone. Ed, elevate her head. When you're sure she can't choke. Stand back and let the coughing stop itself. There isn't much you can do until the blood stops.

All I can think about is that blood. I can't do this.

But I have to!

Make sure she is still breathing. If her heart rate slows go to get an oxygen mask from the supplies.

I could still hear her gasps of breath between the coughs. I felt so bad for her but at the same time didn't want to be near her. It was too tempting. But I couldn't hurt her.

Edward, Carlisle's on his way home. He said to be careful, and that no matter what he's proud of you for staying in there. And proud of Rose and I for leaving.

The coughing stopped and she was awake. "Edward," she was crying.

I made up my mind I was going to help her not stand in the corner and hide from the temptation. "Zeala, are you alright? Tell me what you need."

"That rag to wipe my face. Where's Carlisle? Is he coming? What happened?"

I walked over and sat on the side of the couch. I wiped her face myself. It was probably the hardest thing I've ever done. "You collapsed right before you sat down. I lifted you on to the couch, but you were unconscious and I couldn't wake you up. Then you started coughing up the blood…" Even saying the word brought a shot of pain through me. "And I guess it woke you up. I guess you lost a lot of blood." I looked down at the once blue tank top and winced.

"Edward, you saved me. Thank you, for your help. I'm sorry I..." This time I interrupted her.

"Don't apologize. All that matters is that you are okay. How do you feel? What do you need?"

"I'm still really dizzy, I think I need to lay here until Carlisle gets home." She closed her eyes. It seemed like she just wanted a break from the dizziness. "Um, do you think you could get me another shirt? I ruined this one."

"Sure, anything." I ran up the stairs looked in the open suitcase laying on the bed and grab a small grey t shirt.

"Is this alright?" I asked coming back into the living room, the smell of the drying blood hitting me hard. But I swallowed hard and held my breath.

"Um sure." I handed her the shirt. "Could you turn around so I can change?"

"Sure, sorry." I turned my back to her, "You can just lay your other shirt on the end of the couch. Esme may be able to clean it."

"Okay, you know I really can't thank you enough Edward. You said Carlisle will be here soon?"

"Yea, is there anything else I can do for you? If not I can just leave if you want some privacy." I did kind of want to get away from the blood. But that was the main thing in my mind anymore. What I really wanted was to make Zeala happy.

"No! please don't leave! I'm sorry I just don't wanna be alone." I looked in her eyes and saw her fear that something bad would happen.

"Don't worry I won't leave you." I sat down in the floor beside of the couch. I was trying to read Emmett and Rosalie's thoughts to see where they were. I also was checking to see if Carlisle was close.

I was taken by surprise when I felt her warm cheek rest comfortably on my shoulder. Then nothing else mattered, all I could think about was Zeala. How I just saved her without killing her. How I just got these feelings for her that have overtaken the strongest power in me; the power to hunt. Then I began to consider what could come of these feelings that were stronger than my natural instincts.
