End of Chapter 7
“EDWARD!” Alice yelled from outside.
Edward reached around me and carefully started to lift me.
“Ugg!” I moaned, noticing that the pain skipped intense, making it's way closer to extreme now. He hesitated before placing me back down, causing the pain to flair up again, the room was suddenly spinning and his face was became blurry.
“Bella?” Edward said, holding my face in his hand. I mumbled something, trying to stay focused on his eyes. “Bella!?” He said again. “I need the morphine” He said as he ran back upstairs. I felt Esme by my side, her arm around me. I looked around the room frantically, trying to focus on something, anything to make the room stop spinning, then something in the window caught me eye. Something red. I tried to focus on the blur, only to realize there were red eyes staring back at me.
“No!” Edward screamed rushing back downstairs.
And everything faded to black.
I opened my eyes and glanced around the room. The first person I saw was Edward, sitting on the far side of the couch across from me, his body slumped forward, hands grasping at his head. He was in pain. Beside him, Jasper was kneeling on the floor, and then I saw her. Alice, limp on the couch.
“Static again?” Carlisle said as he entered the living room, glancing towards me. “Oh! Bella. You're awake, how are you feeling?” He asked as he quickly rushed to my side, pressing the back of his hand against my forehead. I didn't tear my eyes away from Edward, who was still hunched over in pain.
“Edward?” I mumbled, groggy and ignoring Carlisles question. Edwards shoulders slumped back as he hit the couch. Unnecessary air rushing in and out of his lungs, looking exhausted. He could run to Alaska and back and it wouldn't phase him one bit. He sat there with his hands tightly in fists, eyes closed.
“Edward?” I said again, this time with more concern, shifting on the couch opposite from him. He didn't move an inch, as if I never said anything. I glanced back to Carlisle. “What happened? I asked, suddenly floored by memories of the past events over the last 24 hours. Victoria. My body clenched at the thought.
“Did Vic.. She hurt him? I asked, glancing back to Edward, suddenly feeling very protective. I pushed the blanket away and swung my feet over edge of the couch.
“Bella, you shouldn't be moving.” Carlisle advised, placing his hand on my shoulder, I shrugged him off and stood up slowly. Blood rushing to my head and my knees gave out beneath me, landing back on the couch. Edward groaned and I immediately felt the need to comfort him. I grabbed the IV bag beside me and forced myself to get up again, steadying myself first and then crossed the short distance to Edward. I reached my free hand out to Edward. As soon as I touched his face his eyes flew open, startled, as if I caught him off guard. A first. He reached out and wrapped his arms carefully around my waist, pulling me slowly into his lap.
“Are you alright” We both asked at the same time. He sat there staring at me, waiting for me to answer.
“I'm fine.” I lied, trying to read his face, which was hard, but his eyes held mine. I heard a deep growl and searched the room quickly, my body trembling. I finally met her eyes, glaring at me. Rosalie was standing in the entry, arms crossed leaning against the door frame. Another growl joined in, this time closer. I could feel the trembling more intensely now, and realized it was Edward shaking under me.
“Rose” He hissed. “Now is not the time.
“With the state Alice is in, I'm sure now is the perfect time” She glared at him.
“Alice!” I gasped, twisting around carefully in Edwards lap. Jasper was still hovering over her, one hand on hers, the other gently stroking her face.
“Alice..” I whispered, reaching out to touch her leg. “What happened?” I asked, looking back to Edward who stared past me towards Carlisle. I glanced back and forth between the two realizing their silent conversation.
“Edward?” I asked, taking his hand in mine. “Tell me.” I said staring at him blankly. He grabbed at his hair and pulled it in all different directions. Glancing over at Alice, closed his eyes and shook his head. “
“Edward..” I said again, grabbing his face in my hands. “Please tell me” I whispered bringing his face close to that the tip of my nose touched his.
“Something happened” He whispered back, his cool breath sweeping across my face.
“What?” I asked, whispering back, persuading him to tell me everything. He closed his eyes again. I squeezed his hand slightly.
“I don't know” He sighed. I glanced back to Alice's limp body beside me.
“Is she alright?” I asked, my eyes watering. Breathing is normally something one would check in this situation, a pulse, body temperature, even pupil dilation. I slowly realized that we couldn't check any of those. My heart immediately dropping.
“I thought...” I stalled, trying to contain the sobs building in my chest. My heart crashing against my chest. “...there was only one way to...you know..”I said, my hands clenching in fists, trying to gain control of my emotions.
“Bella.” Edward soothed, bringing my head against his chest. “Alice is still here, but...” He stumbled, looking for the right words. “It's kinda like shes sleeping.” I pulled away from him, getting a better look at his face.
“Sleeping?” I questioned, not understanding. Vampires don't sleep, not at all.
“Hmm, sometimes I can hear her, but most of the times all I get is this intense kind of static.”
“Oh..” I suddenly realized why Edward had been in pain. I glanced back at Alice, she just sort of lay there. I couldn't see any signs of the perky upbeat Alice I knew, and that broke my heart.
“What exactly happened” I questioned, looking around the room, hoping someone would finally tell me. Carlisle was sitting on the chair beside us, Jasper still on the floor beside Alice. I glanced quickly back to the entry and noticed Rosalie had left the room, which made me slightly more comfortable.
“I'm not entirely sure..” Edward said, sliding a comforting hand up my back.
“Stop it.” I said sternly. “I saw her, and I saw you." I started, glancing back towards the window where I had seen the red eyes staring back at me. The curtains were drawn now and I could barely see the dim sunlight peeking through. “and then everything goes black, I don't remember.” my eyes falling back to my hands and then back to Alice. My Alice
“I'm so sorry” Edward apologized, bringing my face to meet his.
“What for?” I said quietly.
“I was so concerned about you. Everything about you was taking my full concentration. Your pulse, your breathing, the conversation with Esme...” He said, taking my hand in his, intertwining his fingers with mine. “...I didn't hear her until it was too late” I squeezed his hand gently. “I could hear both of them, screaming at me, and by the time I reached the door I could only hear...her.” He said, avoiding her name. “...mocking me, laughing at me as she slipped further and further away..I-I was going to go after her, but I couldn't leave you.” He squeezed my hand back this time. “I found Alice unconscious, and she's been like this for past 16 hours. Her mind comes out of it sometime, but she doesn't move, won't open her eyes. She'll talk to me briefly, until the static interrupts.” He sighed.
“16 Hours?” I thought out loud to myself, glancing at the clock on the wall. It was close to 2 in the afternoon.
“You've been sleeping, morphine.” He answered.
“Oh.” I said, glancing over to Carlisle. “Do you know whats wrong with her?” I asked.
“I've done all the tests I can do, It's unlike anything I've ever seen.” He stated, glancing towards Alice. “It appears to be some sort of virus, a strain maybe. I'm not too sure. Edward hasn't been able to get much information from her. What we do know, though, is Vic...she injected her with something, she's not in much pain, she says she just feels tired.” He said, sounding confused. “I have some research to do, phone calls to make. If you guys need me, or if there is any change, please let me know.” He said as he made his way out of the living room.
“Bella..” Edward said, bringing be back to face him again. “How are you feeling, honestly” He asked, moving his hand up and down my arm.
“I feel....pain.” I said truthfully. “Everywhere. Everything hurts.” I cuddled deeper into his arms. I was suddenly overwhelmed with a calm feeling, almost as good as morphine.
“Thanks Jasper.” I said, nudging him with my foot. He didn't move, didn't take his eyes off Alice.
“Wanna head upstairs?” Edward asked.
“No, I'm gonna stay down here, with Alice.” I said, feeling guilty. “If it wasn't for me, this never would have happened.”
“Stop it, she doesn't blame you, and she definitely wouldn't want you to ever feel that way.” He whispered, bringing his head down on top of mine, kissing my forehead.
“Regardless, I want to stay here with her.” I said, stretching my leg out, trying to shake the numb feeling away.
Edward carefully got up of the couch and carried me across the room to the couch I had been sleeping on.
“Are you going to stay too?” I asked as he gently set me down.
“Of course.” He said as he climbed beside me on the couch. I stretched my feet out, laying my head in his lap as he ran his fingers through my hair. I lay there just staring at Alice, watching for a change, of any kind, a flinch, twitch, anything. The only movement in the room was Edward, who from time to time, would check in on Alice, which sent his head crashing. I tried to calm him down as much as possible, trying to bring his mind back to me.

I tried to be differnt, and it worked.
All my life I have always blended into the atmosphere and the people around me. I was nothing special. I was ordinary.
My chance to be different and my chance to be free came with a cost... one I was sure I was willing to take.
"Turn away from the past, and follow me." were the words I recieved.
"Do you want to be different?" He asked me, and of course what sliped out of my mouth was a simple,
"Yes." But was I going to follow through with what he had in store for me?

Good news about New Moon from director Chris Weitz:
I'm very happy to announce that Taylor Lautner will be playing Jacob Black in New Moon and that he's doing so with the enthusiastic support of Summit Entertainment, the producers, and Stephenie Meyer.
The characters in Stephenie's books go through extraordinary changes of circumstance and also appearance; so it is not surprising that there has been speculation about whether the same actor would portray a character who changes in so many surprising ways throughout the series. But it was my first instinct that Taylor was, is, and should be Jacob, and that the books would be best served by the actor who is emotionally right for the part. I think that fans of Twilight the book and the movie will be surprised by the Jacob Black that Taylor will bring to the screen in New Moon; and I'm looking forward to working with him and the rest of the cast in realizing the film.
Very Best
Chris Weitz
