B.P.O.V

Here I am… running. Just running from all I loved… and why?... because thier trying to save me. I know that sounds crazy but, I don't think I was ever really sane. Maybe somewhere in the middle but, 'maybe' is a tricky word.

The rain pounded hard against my back and I heard thunder around me. Flashes of lightning made it harder to see and I tripped a lot but, I never gave up. I ran and ran until my legs burned. There was only one other time I ran like this. It was so long ago. I was trying to find my sanctuary.

My White House Sanctuary…

I saw a gate in the distance and ran to it only to my horror… it was the gate to my mother's grave.

"Bella!"

"Bella!"

"Bella!" Edwards voice hung out, he was coming after me. I quickly ran into the graveyard past everyone else. I saw the tree in the distance and for some strange reason… my mind told me to stay away. It told me to run into Edward's arms but, I ignored it.

I saw the faint outline of my mother's grave and kneeled before but, the rain was pounding on my back so hard. I gave up and clasped hard onto the ground before her. I cried at her tomb for 5 seconds before there was a crack and the last thing I remember before darkness overwhelmed me was the fact that I was falling…

E.P.O.V

"It's my fault! Whatever happens to him! It's my fault!!" Bella yelled and ran out the door.

"Bella!" I called after her but Alice grabbed my hand. Carlisle sighed in frustration and put his phone into his pocket.

"Alice! Let me go!" I said as I struggled against her grip.

"Let's form a plan! There's going to be a big storm tonight and that's going to flush out her scent! I can't see her future because she hasn't decided where she's running! Now listen up! You check near the graveyard Jasper and I will go to into the woods. Rosalie and Emmett will go to Bella's house to check if she comes home and Carlisle and Esme will go to the border of La Push to see if she might go to her father." Alice said in a rush.

"I'm staying here!" Rosalie said in a stubborn voice.

"Fine! All the more better if she comes back!" I could tell Alice was getting fed up with her 'I hate Bella' mood.

"Okay! Now go, and don't forget to call if you find her." Alice said as thunder struck the ground. The family ran out the door and we all knew had the same thoughts… find Bella.

I was near the fence and I couldn't smell a thing since the rain was so thick.

"Bella!

"Bella!"

"Bella!" But there was no answer…

Uh! Were could she be. I thought and then heard a faint crack. I pushed it to the back of my mind and continued looking for her… 10 minutes later I heard a deathly scream and knew at once it belonged to Bella.

Oh god! Let Bella be okay…

B.P.O.V

My feeling came slowly… at first I couldn't feel anything. Then it started to get cold and my ears became slightly attuned. I heard rain poor. I felt it hit my body with so much force that it hurt but, I didn't move. I realized that half my body was soaked in water and the water was slowly rising. There was something strange moving at the edges of the water. I slowly opened my eyes and didn't think I would see this sight even in my worse nightmares.

There I was… staring face to face with my mom's maggot filled corpse. I had seemed to fall right next to her and it was too close for comfort for I could feel her rotting flesh against my skin. I could see every detail of what happened to her over the years.

Her hair had grown white and longer as the water made it float around her head as if it was alive. Her mouth was open and the flesh was falling off, mold grew on the parts that were still intact and you could see her rotting bones. Her eyelids were closed and thank god for that but what came out from under the eyelids scared me to no end. Like a tear… it looked like she was crying maggots. I took a quick intake of breath and nasty water filled my mouth and lungs. I sat up a bit and gagged up water as it landed on my mothers deciding chest but I had not only gagged up water but, some maggots as well. I looked around to see that the water was filled with maggots, beetles, worms and chucks of my mother's flesh that was not attached to her any more. I took a breath to scream again but I wish I didn't. I could practically taste the smell of my mothers decaying form and thought I was just going to die of the smell but, then something worse just had to happen. I realized that they didn't dig my mother that deep… maybe 5 cm which is just enough for the grass to grow. Above me there was a hole just big enough to fall through and the rest of the ceiling was going to fall any second, drowning me in bug filled water. I had a bad feeling that something was going to happen making the roof wood… I should have known the wood would have grown weaker from the rain…

"Bella!" Edward's voice was close.

"Edward, help!" I called back and got up. I tried to climb up only to find the walls to slippery and I fell back. I was used to falling back and by instinct turned around to put my hands in front of my face… big mistake.

I hit the ground and saved the fall… but fell right on my mom's corpse… my face was less then an inch away from hers and my hand accidentally hit the side of her skull, tearing off some of the maggot filled hair and breaking part of the skull. It would have been better if it stopped there but I just had to see the maggots and some flesh float out from the water that kept rising.

I was scarred to the point where I couldn't move and then I didn't even realize that the blood curdling scream was mine. I got up slowly as if it would come to life any second.

"Bella!" Edward said. I looked up to see him right above me. He gave me his hand and I placed my deathly cold, shaking one in his. Edward pulled me out and hugged me to him. I was shaking so violently that my knees couldn't support me. My knees gave out but, Edward caught me. He carried me close to his chest shielding me from most of the rain. I felt comfort in his grip but I was not so happy about that strange moving feeling in my shirt…

Edward ran us home in record timing and even in my wet form he put me on the couch.

"Rosalie! Call the family now!" Edward said and Rosalie huffed as she took out a cell phone. Edward was gone and then back 3 seconds later with a towel the size of a blanket. The thing in my shirt moved again and I couldn't take it. I pulled off my shirt with one movement and threw it on the ground. Sure I was only in a small bra and skirt but Edward was 100 years old! He had to have already seen something like this… right? From the way he looked at my chest, I guess I was mistaken. Edward composed himself and put the blanket around me as I took off my skirt. Edward started a fire to warm me up as the rest of the Family walked in just as soaked. The only difference was that I was covered in dirt and there were probably maggots in my hair.

"What happened?" Emmett asked as he looked at me shaking on the couch while sitting on Edward's lap. Edward got out from under me to go explain while I wasn't around but I held myself to him. Edward looked down at me and then held me closer to him as he sat down.

Edward started mumbling something and I only caught parts of it.

"…Rene…wood… maggots…rain…" By the end of it tears had again came from my eyes. Edward wiped them off with his thumb as Alice started pulling at my hair with a brush…

"I'm…I'm so sorry… It's always my fault! Now you're all wet… and so is your house!" I was sobbing as I said this. They wanted to help… and all I did was get them wet and tracked maggots into there house.

"Bella! Water means nothing to us! A bit of bugs don't scare us and we were all just worried about you! Its fine! We didn't call yet… its fine…shh… its going to be fine…" Esme's calming voice stopped my sobs to just strange breathing as my chest shook every time I tried to breath.

"Are you sure?" I asked taking another deep breath.

E.P.O.V

"Certain… You're our daughter…you mean much more to us then a little water." Carlisle spoke up and Emmett took Bella's shirt and skirt out side. Emmett's face was priceless as a worm fell out of her shirt but I didn't laugh. Emmett picked it up and threw the clothes outside so they would be cleaned when the storm stopped.

"Alice will get you into a bath and to bed, okay?" I said and Bella hung on to me tighter and nodded. Alice understood and went upstairs to set the water to just before hot. I picked her up and put Bella on the counter in our big bathroom. The bath tub was huge and filled to the top with steaming warm water. It had some sort of lavender and rose in it that made it smell amazing and some healing oils. There were some creams got out and I could tell Alice was going to give Bella a warm message once she was done her bath. I knew this was more then helping Bella after the shock, this was also a way to get to know her… have Bella warm up to Alice and the family more. Alice and Bella looked at me and I left the room. I walked down stairs to find that most of the family had changed. Esme had a towel rapped around her hair.

"How is she?" Esme asked. We had all seen what time can do to corpses and we knew that Bella was too sweet to see a sight like that. From the looks of it she had been down there awhile and the memorizes of tonight would haunt her for awhile. I knew they would… but still she was tough. She would get over it…I hope…

B.P.O.V

The bath tub looked more like a miniature swimming pool. I took the blanket off and slowly got in letting the warm water surround me. I closed my eyes and felt my muscles relax as the oils took effect. Alice came in with her hair in towel and a robe around her. She placed a dark red bra and underwear on the counter with a black, slightly see-thought night gown. Alice put some sort of shampoo in her hand and it smelt like strawberries. She lathered my hair and as soon as it was completely covered she handed me a bar of soap for my body. I loved the bath. It was incredible and all the stuff was great. The memory of my mother slowly faded as the salts made me feel sleepy. Once my body was clean, Alice brushed conditioner through my hair. I would have protested but, Alice looked more then happy doing it so I let her have some fun. Once I was out of the bath I felt so much lighter… like dirt had been washed straight off my soul.

I changed into my new set of undergarments and walked outside to hear voices from down stairs along with Alice's. I walked down the stairs and blushed as 6 pairs of eyes looked at me.

A.P.O.V

While Bella was getting changed I walked down stairs and the family asked me questions I was expecting.

"Is she okay?" Edward asked.

"She's fine, I gave her purple Lilly, It's an herb only used when you want to relax after a really bad thing happened. She should sleep fine tonight after a massage but, the Lilly will wear off in around 3 days. I hope she's prepared for the memories by then. Most humans are… She won't forget what happened but, it will be slightly blurry making it seen more like a dream and slowly the memories will become clear. Its better for her so she's not taking the shock in one blow… the herb is used for patients in early shock." (I made up the herb)

E.P.O.V (Sorry for all the changing with the P.O.V's)

The family was silent for a few seconds then Bella came out into the living room and I was shocked by her appearance. She wore a sexy little night gown. I wanted to run up and kiss her...Heck! I wanted to do more then that but, after the events she had just been through I'm guessing it wouldn't be the best.

"How are you feeling dear?" Esme asked and Bella looked up.

"Much better thank you. My throat's a little sore but other than that I'm fine." Bella looked sad as she said this. I could tell she just wanted to forget.

"Would you like some tea dear?" Esme asked.

"Yes please. That would be great." She was still a little jumpy and scared. I walked to her had she hugged me tightly as I heard Alice's thoughts.

Hmmm… maybe Edward should give her the massage…that would be cute… Her thoughts surprised me and I looked to see her smile.

Go. Alice said and I walked with Bella up to my room. There were candles lit and some creams near the bed.

Looks like she did a lot more then just start the water. I thought and moved Bella to the bed.

"Bella…how would you like a massage." I asked her and she smiled.

"If you want to…" She said and walked near the bed. She lied down on her stomach and moved the blanket just above her butt before removing her night gown. Even if I didn't see anything my breath slightly hitched. I tried to ignore the fact that the right side of her body was starting to bruise and the healing wounds on her back. Truth be told it wasn't that hard with the fact that I was going to massage Bella… my Bella… who was dressed in nothing more then a bra and underwear. The blanket didn't count as close, I said to myself as I put my knees on each side of her thigh.

"You can unclip the bra if it gets in the way." Bella said. Her face was red as a tomato but I found it cute. I slowly uncliped the bra and pushed it to the side with some of her hair. I put some cream on my hands and rubbed them around before placing my hands on her back. Bella shuddered as my cold hands moved around her back but, after awhile she got used to it. I hummed her lullaby as I did this and not before long she fell asleep.

I re-clipped her bra and got under the covers with her. I wanted to hold her in my arms tonight. I wanted to make sure she knew I was there for her. I couldn't deny it anymore…I love her… and I was not going to hide it…

I held her tightly to me and closed my eyes… for the first time in 100 years it felt like I was asleep. It was strange… like you could feel what's around you but, barely care at the same time. Bella was my angel… for the fist time she made me feel like I wasn't a monster…

OMG! I hoped you liked it! Not a lot has happened before now and I'm sorry if it bored you but things should get more existing from here on out! I'm trying my best to make it existing but I'm a little worried I failed…Well you can tell me in a review! It would be great!

Love you, Bye!
