A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING! I ONLY OWN THIS PLOT! I'm co-writing this story with Elena Rain. Thanks for all the reviews and alerts. I hope you enjoy this next chapter.

Alice sat on her bed cuddled with her boyfriend Jasper giggling as he placed gentle ticklish kisses on her neck. She playfully pushed him away knowing it would only make him keep going. Suddenly she felt like she was pulled into her worst nightmare. Her best friends, her sister was laying beaten to pulp bloody near the end of the river…the river they weren't allowed near. Bella was bleeding from everywhere, now Alice was no doctor but she knew Bella was losing too much blood. She pulled out of it and whimpered. "Bella!"

"Babe what's wrong?" Jasper asked feeling the sudden fear from his girlfriend.

"Bella sh-sh-she…."

"Shhh Love, shhh calm down."

Jasper set a wave of calm to her.

"Jasper don't!" she cried.

"Ok now you're worrying me. Alice, sweetie what's wrong?"

"Bella…She is hurt…"

Just then Edward broke down her door.

"Show me what you saw right now."

Alice sighed and let Edward read her mind.

Before the vision was over Edward was out of house with the others right behind him. They got to the river and all the Cullen's had to step back from the mouth watering smell.

"Carlisle what are we going to do, no one can go near her because of the rules and she is bleeding so bad none of us can go near her." Esme asked.

"I have no idea." Carlisle sighed.

"Bella! Bella can you hear me Bella!" Edward yelled standing at the edge of the river.

"Edward what are you doing?" Carlisle asked.

"Maybe if I can get her to notice we are here we can get her to the water and pull her out from there."

"But Edward her blood."

"My love is stronger than my thirst."

"Edward…"

"No, if we are going to help her one of us has to be strong enough to get passed her blood."

Carlisle nodded.

"Bella, Bella Love can you hear me?"

Her still body twitched.

"Bella? Bella please can you hear me. Say something?"

"Ed..wa…rd." she choked out.

No human would be able to hear her.

"We're here love, we are here. Can you turn around?"

"Can't…hurts…want to sleep."

"NO! BELLA! BELLA LISTEN TO ME YOU CAN'T SLEEP!"

"Want…to sleep."

"Bella listen to me, wouldn't you rather sleep snuggled up to me?"

"Yes."

"Then you've got to fight. We can't get to you because of the code. You need to come to us. You need to move. I know it will hurt baby and I'm so sorry to hurt you but I have no other choice."

Bella didn't know how to move. She was in so much pain and could hardly function. Then a memory rushed through her head. From a time with Edward after he saved her from speeding car. Suddenly she gained some strength and turned herself around to face everyone. Then she dragged herself over the edge into the water. Luckily the current wasn't very strong and she got as close to the other side as she could. Edward jumped into the water staying on their side and pulled Bella into him and brought her onto their side. Jasper had to jump back a few feet along with the others. Carlisle went to her side.

"Bella how did you do that? That was awesome." Edward said gently stroking her hair.

"I had an adrenalin rush. It's very common, you can Google it." Bella choked out.

Edward chuckled "How are you feeling?"

"Like an idiot. I should have listened to you I'm sorry."

"You are not to blame Bella. This was one time I actually wished I could be wrong. Just hang in there Carlisle is going to help you. "

"What hurts?" Carlisle asked.

"Everything even breathing."

"All right. Edward run her back to my office. I can't do much more from here."

Edward lifted her bridal style and she whimpered in pain. "I'm so sorry, Love."

Edward ran back to his house. Carlisle not far behind.

Edward placed Bella down on the chair; she was fading in and out fast and he couldn't keep her awake. Carlisle took out a rather large needle and moved towards Bella just as Edward jumped in front of him trying to block her from the needle. "There has to be some other way…"

"Just a sedative Edward… If she wakes up while I set her bones back it won't be pretty…"

"Fine…" he growled low and stepped aside as he watched his adopted father inject his girlfriend with the needle. "You need to leave Edward, it will bleed much more then this and I can't have you lose control."

"I can handle it..."

"I don't care. Get out now. The longer we wait... The less time she has to live... move!"

His words hit Edward hard as he left the room without another word.

Carlisle had a lot of work to do and of course he didn't like forcing his son from the room but he needed room to work. He sighed softly and began cleaning up the blood and removing the glass from her arms, quickly stopping the blood flow and bandaging them. He removed a deep piece from her shoulder and grimaced at the amount of blood that came out. He gulped deeply and finished removing all the glass. There were now patches of gauze all over her arms and parts of her ankles.

Her chest was bad, much worse than her arm. He worked quickly and wrapped her ribs making sure that everything was set rightfully in their places. He then moved further and finished fixing Bella. She was alive, just barely but alive.

"You can come in now Edward…"

"What happened? Is she al-" he froze as he saw her condition, she was connected to some machines and she looked like she was in a body cast. There were bandages everywhere. He swiftly moved over to her and kissed her forehead just as her eyes fluttered open.

Bella relaxed as she saw Edward next to her. Carlisle was with her too, she wasn't with Jacob, she was safe for now. Carlisle had gotten the bleeding to stop so she no longer had to worry about anyone be uncomfortable. He came and sat by her side.

"How are you feeling Love?" Edward asked.

"Drugged. Carlisle has me so drugged up I can't feel anything. I actually grateful for that. Edward can you ever forgive me?"

"Forgive you for what?"

"For not listening to you. You told me Jake would hurt me and he did. This is all my fault."

"Now you listen to me Bella Swan what happen tonight is not your fault. That stupid dog had no right treating you like that. Don't you dare blame this on yourself."

"I…I couldn't…"

"Shhh Bella it's all right you're safe now. What couldn't you do?" Carlisle asked.

"Get away. I tried. I tried to run, I tried to get to the other side of the river but he…he was too fast. He…he hurt me. I…I never thought…."

"Shhhh Bella you're safe. Jake can't hurt you anymore. Just try and get some rest. You have a rough road ahead of you."

Carlisle left the room.

"Edward why didn't you tell me?"

"Tell you what?"

"That the change could kill me?"

Edward went quiet. "How did you hear that?"

"Take a wild guess."

"That stupid dog."

"Is it true?"

"Yes, Bella it's true why do you think I've been so against you getting turned. I couldn't live with myself if I knew I had killed you trying to change you."

"So you lied to me?"

"I didn't lie to you, I just didn't tell you. I was going for the 'What Bella doesn't know won't hurt her' rule."

Bella sighed." I'm not mad I just wish you would have told me."

"Has this new information made you change your mind?"

"No, not even close."

"Bella…"

"Edward I will survive. That's how it works right? If I can fight off the venom I live if I can't I die?"

Edward didn't say anything. It gave Bella all the answers she needed.

"I'm going to fight Edward. I want this more than I want anything else in my life. I want to be like you. I'm not going to give up just because of a little pain but I just got beat up by a wolf I think I can handle being bitten by a vampire."

She was trying to joke and lighten the mood but Edward didn't laugh.

"Bella this is serious, the pain you felt from that stupid dog was nothing. This vampire pain is so different, it doesn't even compare to the pain you felt before, it's so much worse."

"Look Edward, you can tell me anything, but I won't change my mind. If you don't change me Alice will. You know she will without a doubt. She wants her vision to come true."

"I'll only change you if you marry me."

"Ok fine I'll marry you."

"What? You will?"

"Yes, but you have to tell Charlie."

"Ah I knew there would be a catch." He teased.

She giggled but then groaned in pain. Edward growled "Next time I see that dog I'm going to rip his head off literally."

"Edward don't."

"Bella you cannot seriously still be defending him."

"I'm not I'm defending you."

"How?"

"If you kill him the Volturi will kill you."

"Not if he's on our lands." Edward smirked as he envisioned himself killing Jacob.

"Please don't do anything right now. I…Edward I…I don't really want to be alone."

"You're not alone Love. I'm not going anywhere. Just get some rest."

"Will you sing?"

"Of course love."

Bella closed her eyes and Edward hummed her lullaby. In his mind he was plotting the way to kill Jacob. In the back of his mind he knew that a werewolf bite could kill a vampire but he didn't care. That stupid dog had hurt HIS Bella and now he was going to pay.

A/N I so what do you think will happy next? Is Edward going to break the rules just to kill Jacob, will the others be able to stop him if he does? Leave me your thoughts in a review.
