Hey guys, here's the next chapter. I'm not sure if i will continue this one much longer...unless I do a rose and emmett story. Sorry I didn't get this up last night, but here ya go.
--------------------------------------------------
Recap:

I passed in and out of conciousness, trying to hold on like I had promised her. I remember one point where she stopped and put me down on the grass and I came too.

The surrounds were diffrent, it looked like we were just out side a town. The strange thing was that it was unlike any town that I had ever seen. There were many buildings that I could see from this far away. There were also a lot of lights, it seemed like we should be just outside of my home town but we were somewhere strange that I had never seen before.

I thought about that and her face appeared again in front of my face.

"Please, hold on a little longer. We are out side of town and I will take you to Carlisle, my father and he will help you." She said pleading.

I could not leave her, I smiled up at her and noticed that we were running again. I closed my eyes and tried to focus on my breathing so that I would hold on for her until we met her family.

-------------------------------------------------

She ran up a short street with large houses on each side, I really hoped that we were getting close because I was having a hard time breathing and wasn't able to open my eyes any more.

I heard the sound of a door opening and she walked over and set me on a couch.

"Carlisle, Esme, Edward! I need you all NOW." She said quietly.

I wasn't sure how big this house was but I thought it was strange that she would say their names quietly and wondered if anyone would hear her.

I tried to take a deep breath, but my lungs were on fire and it felt like I couldn't inflate my lungs anymore. I was dying. I tried to hold on for her, I really did but I couldn't fight death any longer.

I opened my eyes, trying my hardest to focus so that I could see her face one more time before I was gone. She was kneeling by my head and smiled down at me.

"Don't leave me now, I have gotten you to my house and my um father is on his way. Please don't stop fighting now." She pleeded.

I didn't think I would be able to fight, it hurt too much. This was the most painful thing that I had ever been through and I knew I wouldn't be able to fight anymore.

"Rose what is it? What? Who?" I heard a male voice ask quietly.

"Carlisle, I found him. He was fighting a bear and it was going to finish him. I couldn't let that happen, he seemed so strong and I had this instant feeling that I need him." She said bashfully.

"Nice. What did you do now ROSE?" Another male voice said, not attempting to hide the anger in his voice. I didn't like this man, I didn't know who he was but I didn't think he should be talking to her like that. She didn't answer the question but I heard the same gutteral sound that I had heard in the clearing.

That sound brought me back a little, I was suddenly affraid. I didn't know who or where I was anymore. I knew that sound was bad and I was scared. I tried my best to scramble off the couch, but a strong pair of cold hands grabbed my shoulders and held me to the couch.

"Edward, not now. We need to make a decision now, he is fading fast." The first male voice said.

"Rose, are you sure this is what you want?" A sweet voice asked in a motherly tone.

"Yes Esme, please. Carlisle please help him." She said quietly.

I wasn't sure what they were talking about. I thought maybe it was me, but I was dying and even if her father was the best doctor ever how would he save me?

I was wondering those things when I felt myself being lifted again. I screamed in pain, the cuts and bites hurting more then they ever did before.

I heard the angel shush me and try to calm me, a hand that I thought must be hers was smoothing my hair. I didn't know what was going on, but my angel was with me and I was not afraid anymore.

The next thing I remember was pain. Well, to call it pain wouldn't be right. I thought that the bear attack was the most painful thing I had ever been through, but this was like being engulfed in flames.

The pain was so amazing, the bear attack seemed like a distant memory. The new pain had taken over, and it was neverending. I think I was laying somewhere, I tried to remember what had happened.

I knew that I was carried possibly up the stairs. Someone laid me on what could be a bed, and I heard the shushing sounds again. I tried to keep my breaths going so that I wouldn't leave her, but with this new pain I found myself holding my breath. It seemed to help with the pain, I held my breath for as long as I could and when I could hold it no longer I would blow out the breath and gasp in another.

The pain started in my right arm, it was like something was biting me again. I knew that was a foolish thought, I mean I was in a house with people why would they bite me? Then there was another pressure/fire in my left arm and finally in my right leg.

I didn't know what this pressure was, but everytime there was the pressure it was quickly followed by a burning that screamed its way up my arms and into the center of my body.

My angel, I think her name is Rose was there with me the entire time. When I couldn't hold my breath again she would encourage me to take another breath and keep going. She wiped my forehead when the pain got to the point that I felt like my body would boil soon.

The fire and the burning were just the beginning of this pain. The next phase of the pain was my skin felt like it was being pulled together by pins. It started a dull feeling in on my front where the bear attacked, but quickly transformed into full pins pulling at my skin.

I knew that this "Carlisle" was a doctor, and maybe it was him doing this to me. Maybe he was sewing up my scratches, that's what I was wondering to myself when I heard someone walk into the room.

"How's he doing?" A male voice that I matched to the voice of Carlise from earlier asked.

Well ok, if he just walked in the room then who was it that was putting pins and needles into my chest?

"No change yet, he gasps for breath. I was too late, I didn't make it back in time did I?" Rose asked in a small hurt voice.

"Rosalie, you have done everything you could. This young man is very strong and we need to be patient." Carlisle's voice said as footsteps announced that he was getting closer.

"See, his wounds are starting to heal." He said softly.

I heard Rosalie take a deep breath in and exhale loudly. I would imagine that she was smiling right now, I was still too afraid to open my eyes to look and find out for sure.

"Let him rest, we've done all we can. It will take a while for him to change." He said as he walked back to the door.

I laid there wondering what the heck was going on? This family was strange, and the last conversation made it even more so. What did they mean by change? What did they mean that my wounds were starting to heal? How much longer could I take this pain?

Too many questions, that much I was sure. As I laid there thinking about these questions, everything changed again.
