BPOV:

Everything was fuzzy. I could hear a commotion, but my ears would register the words- it was all muffled. I felt my body being pulled up, so that I was lying across something. Something began to drip onto my face, but I couldn't flinch, I couldn't move, my body was frozen.

Beep...Beep...Beep...Beep...

My head hurt, no- my entire being hurt. I tried to open my eyes, but it hurt, it was like my eyelids were stuck to my eyeballs. So I tried to open my mouth so that I could speak, but my throat was too dry.

I gave up and tried to remember what had happened the night before...

I hit an instant mental block, one minute I was peeing and the next, nothing, just dull, empty darkness. I didn't like it, it made me feel more on edge.

I heard the heart monitor speed up before going berserk, and it took me a moment to realize that it was my heart that was hammering like a steam train.

I felt something enter my bloodstream, and my active brain slowly drifted into darkness.

I still didn't like it.

RPOV:

I paced the length of the hallway restlessly, after Bella had been taken into hospital, the doctors wheeled her into a room and I was not allowed to follow.

"Mr. Biers?" a deep voice with an Italian accent penetrated my brain and I stopped my pacing and looked up, two police officers were stood in front of me,

"Yes?" I answered, my voice hard. I knew why they were here.

"We need to..ask you some questions about what happened to ." the officer on the right said, I just nodded and let them ask away.

After they had asked all their questions and left, a doctor came out of the room that Bella had been wheeled into, I all but ran to him, he was looking down at a chart when I appeared in front of him,

"Uhh, ah. ?" I nodded frantically, and the doctor motioned for me to sit down, I sat hesitantly, awaiting the news.

" -" he began, but I interrupted him,

"Riley."

He nodded, "Riley, your...fiance has suffered minor injuries on the exterior of her body, but we had to..uh...perform a rape kit- standard procedure with a situation like this..."

I felt sick, my body was shaking- I could only hope and hold my breath as I waited for the doctor to tell me the results.

All of a sudden, two hands landed on my shoulders, and I looked up to see Rosalie stood behind me, her face was pale and washed out, tear stains marked her cheeks- I squeezed one of her hands.

"She's a very lucky woman Riley, she came back negative for everything. She won't take too long to recover, but we'll be keeping her for a few days just to be sure; I would recommend signing her up for therapy- you can go see her now."the doctor stood stiffly I rose too, I shook his hand and rushed into Bella's room, I faintly heard Rosalie telling everyone else what had happened.

When I entered the room, Bella's eyes snapped to me, and I saw the tears well up in her eyes. My heart cracked and I all but ran over to the bed and grabbed her up in my eyes- being careful with the various wires and tubes that were sticking out of her.

Bella's sobs were ragged and heavy, I let go of her and motioned for her to move up so I could sit behind her, once I was positioned, I held onto her tighter and let the tears flow, my cries mingled with hers as we held onto each other.

I don't know how long we sat like that for, but I eventually felt Bella still and drift to sleep.

Every now and again, she'd shift, whimper or struggle, and I would stroke her hair soothingly, sending her back into her slumber; my heart was breaking and I could feel a part of it hardening, filling with anger and a hunger for vengeance.

Someone cleared their throat from the doorway, I looked up to see Alice stood at the door, her slight body looking even smaller in Jasper's jacket, her eyes were red and her chin trembled.

Looking back to Bella, I made sure she was in a deep sleep before slowly shifting her off my body before kissing her lightly on the head and walking over to Alice.

"How you holding up, Pixie?" I asked gently, but my voice was gruff from crying earlier.

"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" Alice questioned, a ghost of a smile on her lips, I just nodded and motioned to Bella, Alice hesitated for a moment before slowly walking to the bed, she looked down at Bella and took one her hands.

"I've never seen her look so...vulnerable.." Alice whispered, I think it was mostly to herself. I nodded silently and gathered her small frame in my arms when she began shaking.

I heard footsteps approaching the room quickly, looking up I saw Jasper's worried face- he'd always had a strange emotional connection to Alice; it came in handy in situations like this.

I withdrew my arms from Alice's small frame and let Jasper take over in comforting her. I turned back to the bed to see Bella was awake and silently watching us, I walked over to the bed and sat in the chair beside her, taking her hand I did a quick check of her body language to make sure she was okay.

"How are you holding up?" she asked quietly, I chuckled internally, no matter what happened to her, she always made sure others were fine- she had a heart of true gold.

"I'm fine, but shouldn't I be asking you that?" I said, stroking my thumb across the back of her hand.

She shook her head, "I'm fine, really. I just want to get out of this place and go home." her voice was quiet, and her eyes turned down, I felt my heart shatter a little bit more.

"I'll go ask the doctor when you can be released," I said before standing up and leaning down to kiss her on the forehead, nose and lips softly.

As I walked out the room, I looked paused, turned slightly- to see Bella once more before I left the room but the story of Orpheus and Eurydice entered my head and I couldn't bring myself to look, for fear she would be taken away from me a second time.

AN: 1- I'm soooooo sorry for not updating, I've had severe writers block and little will to try and over come it- I will try my hardest to regulate my updates

AN: 2- I love the story of Orpheus and Eurydice- my favourite Greek myth.
