-1I.M.S POV

I woke up completely disorientated. Where was I? I felt all sticky. I tried to sit up but a hand pushed me down.

"Huh?"

"Bella, don't move. You've lost a lot of blood"

"Huh?" I mumbled again. My eyes focused and I could see Edward in front of me. He was smiling but I could see anger in his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"I came to find you. When no one answered the door, I assumed you were asleep. I mean, I couldn't hear anything. So I decided to go but, then I smelt…all the blood"

"How bad is it?"

"Well…"

"Be honest Edward"

"You are absolutely covered in blood" I tried to sit up again.

"You shouldn't move"

"I need to see" I sat up fully. Oh. He was right. Practically every inch of me was covered in dried blood. The sheets around me were red. There was a long gash in my arm that was still dribbling blood.
"I wanted to do this before you woke up but I didn't get a chance" he said, tearing a strip from a clean bit of sheet and began binding my arm.

"Why do you look angry Edward? What did I do?"

"It's not you Bella…not you"

"Then what?" I stroked his face.

"Jasper!" he spat out the word, knocking my hand away "The irresponsible bastard just left you here bleeding to death!"

"Edward…I'm fine"

"Bella, when I said I couldn't hear anything that included your heartbeat!" he growled "It was so faint I couldn't hear it! You were that close to death! What happened last night?"

"I…don't know. I can't remember. I remember getting here…and going inside but that's it until now"

"Hmmm"

"Edward, don't worry. I'm fine" I stroked his face again. He relaxed slightly.

"I'm going to tell my father you are not fit for the guests tomorrow. It's too dangerous"

"Edward, he's not going to listen to you! I'm just a human! It doesn't matter what happens to me!" he took my hand and squeezed it gently.

"Bella…you were that close to death"

"I know but I can't change that. I'll be fine by tomorrow. I just need rest"

"I nearly lost you" he whispered so quietly I wasn't sure he said it.

"It'll be fine Edward"

"Come on" he said, helping me up.

"Where are we going?"

"My room. You can't stay here. You need to rest and you can't do that in these bloody sheets"

"But…Jasper?"

"He abandoned you last night. Since he hasn't returned, and I was meant to have you today I am taking you whether he likes it or not. If he wants you, he can just come and get you!" he disappeared and got me some loose clothes.

"You can wash at my room" he said before carrying me to his room. There he lay me on his bed and watched me tenderly.
