Chapter Five- Bella

I didn't know where I was, I was floating in and out of consciousness in a content daze. Carlisle was still here with me, I could feel it. His cold hand in mine, his body sitting next to me. I sighed happily, I didn't want to leave this place. If I left, Carlisle would be gone. I didn't want that. I felt myself shift so that I was as close to Carlisle's body as I could.

I felt myself slipping back into unconsciousness when a voice forced me back, I couldn't actually hear what the person was saying. I groaned and snuggled closer to Carlisle before I began to float again. Once again, as I felt myself floating towards unconsciousness that same voice came and pulled me away from it. I groaned again, why couldn't that voice just shut up and leave me alone! Couldn't it see that I wanted to just keep floating with Carlisle?

Finally, I was able to just float along with Carlisle, and I had a feeling that Carlisle had a hand in this. I happily let my subconscious lead me to where ever it wanted to. And soon I found myself standing alone in the field that Carlisle and the rest of the family had played base ball in. I found myself smiling and wishing to watch them play again. Maybe this time I would be able to relax and enjoy the game. Last time I had been too nervous to relax and watch them. I don't really know why I had been so nervous, Carlisle and the others never made me feel nervous, they always made me feel welcomed. Even Rosalie in her own strange way.

I smiled as I remembered them playing. Alice appeared, almost see through, on the pitcher mound. Her leg was up and her arm was back ready to through the ball, though she seemed to be frozen in place. She looked around and saw Carlisle was up to bat, he was also almost see through, he was frozen in spot with his pat pointed out wordlessly saying he was going for a home run. Jasper was off to the side frozen with his bat across his shoulders as he waited for his turn. Esme was knelt behind Carlisle in the catcher's spot. Rosalie was standing off to the side with Jasper, a small smile on her face as she watched her family.

I smiled as I remembered that just before this I had just called Rosalie out, Esme had caught the ball Edward had thrown a second before Rosalie slid into home. And though Rosalie had been mad and had tried to intimidate her, and had succeeded a little, Bella had been happy. She remembered smiling a little at hearing Carlisle lovingly call Rosalie Kitty. Everyone in her family had been having so much fun, which allowed her to have fun even though she had been nervous.

Everyone suddenly vanished when a deep, angry growl sounded through out the field. I looked around and half expected to see James but there was no one there, I was alone. Suddenly my heart began to beat faster. I was alone! There was no one else here with me! Carlisle and there others were gone! Charlie was gone! No one was here! I closed my eyes and fell to my knees. Why was this happening? Why did they all leave me?

Another growl caused my eyes to opened, but instead of being alone in the field, I was in my bed with my head in Carlisle's lap. How had I gotten here? Wasn't I just in the field? "Carlisle?" I heard myself ask, Carlisle would know what was happening. Carlisle you explain everything to me.

"Don't worry, Isabella, everything is fine." He said softly to me as he nuzzled my head. What was going on? What was happening? "Everything will be fine, I promise." He whispered before kissing the top of my head. I felt myself relax, what ever was happening didn't matter anymore, because Carlisle said everything would be fine. Carlisle promised, and Carlisle never broke his promises.

I jumped when my door slammed open, I faintly heard a growl come from Carlisle but it was too low to actually hear so I'm not sure if he had really growled or if I had imagined it. I looked over towards the door and was surprised to find Renee standing there. What was she doing here? Wasn't she suppose to be traveling with Phil? As I looked at my mother something in me was whispering that she was going to hurt me. I know it was ridiculous, she's my mother for Christ's sake, but I just couldn't shake the voice. "Mom?" I whispered just loud enough for her human ears to pick up.

"Oh, Bella, darling." Renee cried before running over to me, she sat down on the bed and opened her arms inviting me into a hug. I don't know why, but I hesitated and tightened my hold on Carlisle. I noticed her eyes fly up to Carlisle's and glared at him a second before looking back at me with a soft look. "Oh my poor baby, come to mamma and I'll make it all better." She said and I knew I should go to her, I mean, I had literally flew into my father's arms so why couldn't I make myself hug Renee?

"Mom." I whispered trying to force my body to move from Carlisle's, but all I had managed to do was once again tighten my hold on him.

"Let her go, she obviously wants to come to me." Renee snapped at Carlisle causing me to jump and tighten my hold on him again.

"As you can clearly see, Mrs. Dwyer, I am not keeping her here. She is free to leave if she wishes." Carlisle said and fear filled my heart. Why would I ever want to leave the safety that was Carlisle. I suddenly felt the tension rise between Renee and Carlisle and felt that I had to do something about it.

"Mom, no offense, but what are you doing here? Aren't you suppose to be with Phil?" I asked and Renee looked at me in shock.

"How could I be with Phil when my baby girl needs me." Renee cooed and I smiled. Renee was here to help me, I was finally able to let go of Carlisle and allowed Renee to pull me into a tight hug. I hug Renee back, though I really wanted to just let her go and fly back into Carlisle's arms. "There, there. Everything is alright. Mamma's gonna make everything better. And once we get home you and I will go on a nice, long spa treatment so that you can forget everything that has happened." Renee said to me. And I know it was suppose to be soothing, but I was suddenly very afraid. What had Renee meant when she said 'once we get home'? I was already home. I quickly pulled away from Renee and stared at her as I slowly found myself curling into a ball. Surely Renee wasn't planning to take me away from Carlisle! I would surely die if that happened.

"What are you talking about mom, I'm already home." I said as tears began to fill in my eyes and I looked around the room looking at my family. "Aren't I?" I asked once my eyes landed on Carlisle, I silently begged him to tell me I was right. That I was home and what Renee had just said was a slip of the tongue, that she wasn't actually planning to take me away.

"Oh sweety, of course you're home." Renee answered before anyone else could, I looked back at her and felt a smile slowly form on my face. "I meant when we get back home to Phoenix." She added and my smile vanished in a heart beat. No. This could not be happening. Dear god tell me I was just having a nightmare.

"What?" I heard myself ask, though my voice sounded far away and not my own.

"Your dad and I thought it would be best if you were to return home with me." She said and I know that she went on to continue talking but I couldn't hear her. No! No! No no no! No! This wasn't happening! My father was not sending me away!

I soon found myself curled up in a ball, rocking back and forth as a loud and painful scream ripped through my throat. I was going to be forced to leave the only comfort I knew! How could Renee do this to me?! I felt a hand touch me, but I violently shook it off me. The had had been warm, not cold and there for not Carlisle. I didn't want anyone but my Carlisle to touch me.

I continued screaming as I rocked and began to pull at my hair. I faintly heard what sounded like a small scuffle before a pair of cool arms wrapped around my and gently pulled me into a loving hug. When the scent of the person hit my brain I instantly stopped screaming. Carlisle had me. Everything would be alright. Carlisle wouldn't let Renee take me away from him. I was safe.

And the next thing I knew I was falling into darkness.
