Follow them as Bella learns not only how to save a life, but hers is saved as well.

101. Chapter 100

I hiss and groan in pain as he checks me over.

I hadn't realized just how hard Edward Masen had grabbed me. It hurt like a fucking bitch.

"I really am sorry," Carlisle says as he inspects the bruises.

When he comes around to look at me again, having finished his inspection, I watch him.

Edward is sitting down, nervous and watching me in the corner.

I smile at him reassuringly and he shrugs his shoulders, mouthing that he can't help it.

"I must ask, Miss Swan," Carlisle says and I look at him once again. He's regarding me carefully. "How did you get the other marks on your body?"

I swallow and stiffen. "That was a long time ago."

He sees how uptight I am and relaxes his face into a careful smile. "It's alright; no pressure. You don't have to tell me."

I nod my head in appreciation.

lack of updating reason: I've been busy and no one's really reviewed.

Kitkat, one of the reviewers asked if you're being bullied? She's said that she'd like to do something about that if that is actually happening. I second that notion.

:D

please do actually review. I miss reading them.
