A/N: Sorry this has taken a while. I've been busy with end of school stuff. I should be starting to update more often so look for some.

After polling you guys about whether or not I should end Rising Sun at the end of Twilight, I have the results.

1)No, keep going all the way through Breaking Dawn. 80%

2)Yes end at Twilight, but go further in another story. 20%

And

3)Yes, end at Twilight, but don't go any further. 0%

Thanks so much to all of you who participated in the poll. I will follow the majority's wishes and continue up through Breaking Dawn, even if it means so many more chapters. It's been fun so far and I can't wait to continue. I was so happy to see nobody wanted me to stop. Thanks guys!

So we're looking at possibly one more chapter from Twilight, and then another in between before we get into New Moon. So stick around. Both of them should be up by Mid-June.

Don't forget to Read, Review, and Pass it On!

Chapter 37: Fabricating an Accident

We left the dance studio as Emmett and Jasper hurried back in to finish the job of destroying it. Edward carried Bella to my Mercedes, climbing gingerly into the back seat. Alice followed him in, taking the job of directing pressure from me. She was still holding her breath. She had been since Edward had sucked the venom from Bella's hand. It was precautionary.

I ran around to the drivers' side and climbed in, starting the engine. Emmett and Jasper would stick around until everything was taken care of. Then they'd find us. Jasper still had the cell-phone. He'd call when everything was taken care of. My priority was getting Bella care. We needed a cover story, some way to describe all these injuries without causing suspicion. Or rather, the wrong kind of suspicion. The damaging kind.

"Alice, where to?" I asked.

There was a brief pause before she answered, "There's a hotel, not far from the airport. It's got the perfect setting for this. Bella is going to fall down two flights of stairs, that'll explain the broken leg and the cuts and bruises, and then through a window. That will explain the glass injuries."

"Where is it?"

"Turn left here," Alice replied.

I followed her directions back towards the airport. But we didn't go all the way back to Sky Harbor International. Instead, we left the freeway an exit before and pulled into a moderately-priced hotel.

Alice directed the "mission". She and I walked in first, while Edward stayed with Bella in the Mercedes. Thankfully, the hotel had an overhang where we could move between the car and the building without stepping into the sunlight. Alice and I reserved a room in the hotel and walked up to it. After dropping my bag in the hotel room, we walked down to the stairway where Alice had seen Bella's "accident".

Alice surveyed the stairway, hand on her chin, observing each angle with a critical eye. "This is it," she said. "For the story, Bella told Charlie that she had to get out of Forks and that she was driving home to Phoenix. So Edward flies down with his father, of course, and his sister, to try to convince her to come home."

"Okay," I said, "And we're staying here."

"Right. Bella agrees to come over to talk, but as she's making her way up the stairs to our room, she…"

My mind flashed to the memory of the X-ray. All those healed contusions. I'd jokingly suggested that Bella's mother had dropped her too many times. Edward had said he thought she just had a lot of bad luck. "She trips," I finished. "She trips on the stairs. Bella is clumsy, yes?"

"Yes," Alice replied. "She trips and falls down—"Alice's eyes became distant as she scanned the future for our version of events. "—two flights of stairs, and through the window. Definitely."

"So how do you think we should fabricate this?" I asked her.

Alice looked down the stairs and sighed. "Since Bella shouldn't do this for real, I guess I'll have to. It'll be noisy, so we need her here as soon as it happens."

Before the words had even left her mouth, I heard footsteps on the stairs below. "Bella is still unconscious," Edward said in a low voice. I barely heard it, even with my acute, vampire senses. "I'll be waiting under the window, Alice, so that Bella's there as soon as it breaks."

"See you on the other side," Alice replied. I thought I detected a hint of excitement in her voice. Was she excited about falling down two flights of stairs and crashing through a window?

She turned back to me. "Go back to the room. When you hear the crash, come running out like you don't know what's going on. The hotel staff will see this and they won't suspect a thing."

I nodded and did as she told me. I returned to the room Alice and I had just checked into and waited to "find" Bella. I was at the door, wringing my hands impatiently, when I finally heard Alice. I winced out of habit at every loud thud and dashed out the door as I heard the resounding crash. I had to be careful to move at human speed as I rushed to the stair way. Other hotel guests came to their doors as I hurried out, confused. One man grabbed my arm as I rushed by and I forced myself to stop so that I didn't drag him along with me.

"What happened?" he asked.

"I don't know," I said frantically, "I just heard a crash. I think it came from the stairs."

I hurried off as I heard the man relay the message to others in the hallway. Footsteps followed me as I ran. I sped up a bit so that I was certain I'd be there before the majority of the crowd. "Sprinting" down the stairs, I saw the broken glass from the window. I paused, as would be expected of someone who didn't know what had just happened. Below, I could see Bella's prone form, completely alone. There was no sign of Edward or Alice, though I had no doubt they were watching carefully from the wings. Edward especially, wouldn't leave an injured Bella alone outside a hotel.

"Oh my God!" I shouted for the benefit of the humans. I silently apologized for taking the Lord's name in vain as I continued down the stairs another flight, to the ground level. I rushed out the emergency exit at the base of the stairs and immediately began checking over Bella's wounds again. They were no worse than when I'd first treated her, but they weren't any better either. She was losing too much blood. They'd probably have to give her a transfusion at the hospital.

I turned on the group of onlookers that was gathering behind me. "Someone cal 911," I ordered. I heard a pair of feet rush off to obey as I turned back to Bella. I was worried about the blood loss. It was taking too long to get her to the hospital. Edward had taken blood out of her arm to stop the venom. But she'd already lost so much to begin with. Could she make it? I was momentarily doubtful. Then Edward and Alice showed up.

They came from the direction of the main lobby, pushing their way through the crowd. The looks on their faces were sheer horror. They knew how to play their parts well.

"Oh my God, Bella!" Edward exclaimed. He knelt down, gingerly taking her unconscious form into his hands.

"What happened?" Alice asked.

"I don't know," I replied. I looked around, as if searching for some clue. When my eyes fell back on the building, I began to look up. There, the broken window was right above us, with the glass. "There," I pointed. "She must've fallen through the window. That must've been the crash earlier."

The hotel manager was now pushing his way through the crowd, pardoning himself along the way. "What happened?" he asked his eyes going wide as he took in Bella's broken form, and then the crowd around her.

"We think she fell through the window," I replied, standing and pointing up at the building.

"We've called 911," he said. He turned around to the crowd. "Ladies and gentlemen, please return to your activities, the emergency crews will need space when they arrive."

A few of the crowd broke off and left, but most simply backed up. The hotel manager muttered into his cell phone, calling employees to deal with the crowd. Then he turned back to Bella, Edward, Alice, and I.

"Sir, I will stay with her if you wish to move on," he offered.

"That is generous, but I am a doctor by profession and she is a friend of my son and daughter," I replied, gesturing to Edward, who still held Bella and Alice, who knelt at his side.

"You know her?" the manager asked.

"Yes, she was visiting us. She must've fallen on her way up the stairs," Alice replied.

"Oh my goodness." The manager looked down on Bella, worried, though I wasn't sure if he was worried about the girl, or the potential lawsuit.

Within minutes, I heard the ambulance on the road approaching the hotel. Everything would be fine once Bella was in the proper hands. There was only so much I could do for her. But I would try to ride with her to the hospital and give Edward a bit of peace of mind.

When the EMTs arrived, they worked efficiently, accessing the damage to Bella's head, leg, and ribs, before putting her on a backboard to reduce the risk of spinal injury. I told them what I knew about the wounds and explained that I was a doctor and friend of the injured.

"Would it be possible to ride with you to the hospital?" I asked.

The lead EMT looked back at the ambulance where his partners already had an IV in Bella's arm. "It's not typical policy, but you are a doctor and she has no family here?"

"That's right," I confirmed. Renee was not home.

"Fine. But you have to ride in the front."

I obliged and after confirming with Edward and Bella that I would meet them at the hospital, climbed in the passenger's seat. The back doors of the ambulance were closed and we left. Edward and Alice were almost right behind us in my Mercedes.
